Chapter 2: Rebirth and Return
Seven years of heaven and clouds.
General's Palace.
The moonlight is shining brightly, and the lights are shining.
Outside the house, there was the sound of shredded footsteps.
The sharp pain in his body gradually disappeared, and the hatred in his heart was still surging. Qin Ruozi's smug and vicious face, Duan Chengxue's indifferent and ruthless face, and the scene of a large number of Gu worms wriggling constantly alternated, and she watched as the fetus formed in her womb was gnawed and devoured one by one......
"No, my child!"
Qin Ruobai suddenly woke up.
What catches your eye is a delicate boudoir.
Pale pink bed nets, curling incense. The four walls are hung with calligraphy and paintings of celebrities, and the unfinished calligraphy is spread out on the desk by the window.
This...... Was it her boudoir before she got married?
How could she be here?
"Squeak", the door was pushed open, and a beautiful woman in blue stepped in, her face was pale, and despite the fat powder, she still looked sick and weak.
She is the wife of the general, named Cai Rong, and is the mother of Qin Ruobai.
Seeing Qin Ruobai's dazed face, cold sweat on his forehead, and the anger around his body that had not yet dissipated, Jiang Cairong looked worried, walked quickly to the bedside, and asked softly, "Ruobai, what's wrong with you?"
As he spoke, he took her into his arms and gently wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead with the handkerchief in his handkerchief.
This familiar face, familiar voice, familiar breath......
Qin Ruobai was stunned, this is her mother-in-law who has been gone for three years! She never thought that one day she would be able to see her mother's voice and smile again, and she would still be able to behave in her arms like she did when she was a child......
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she hugged her mother tightly, and the real touch made her believe that she was really back, back to the time when her mother was alive, and she still had a chance to save many things that had not yet happened.
At this moment, she was full of anger, full of bitterness and joy, thousands of words choked in her throat, and after a long time, she choked and said: "Mother...... My daughter had a terrible nightmare......"
Jiang Cairong didn't know why her daughter was like this, but she was frightened by the nightmare, so she hurriedly took care of her gently, and the room was warm.
The warmth didn't last long when it was broken by a knock on the door.
"Sister, sister, are you feeling better?"
Qin Ruobai's soft voice is very familiar, it is her good sister Qin Ruozi.
"Qin Ruozi, if there is an afterlife...... I will give it back a hundredfold...... Let your life be worse than death!"
A trace of resentment quickly crossed her eyes, the curse of her previous life was still in her ears, she really had an afterlife, but she pitied the unborn child.
Before she could speak, the door had been pushed open, Qin Ruozi, who was dressed in a light purple dress and looked a little childish, strode to the side of the bed, and said with a smile: "Today's father's birthday, the birthday banquet will start soon, my aunt asked my sister to come and see my sister, I see that my sister's body is not good, it is better to rest, after all, many dignitaries and nobles have come to the birthday banquet, if the concubine is sick, the father's face will be less bright." ”
Speaking of the word "concubine", Qin Ruo's purple eyes showed a hint of jealousy.
It turns out that today is Daddy's birthday!
Qin Ruobai's heart froze, she remembered that when she was fifteen years old, she was pushed into the lotus pond in the house by Qin Ruozi's maidservant, and suffered from the cold, so she rested on the bed.
In her previous life, she slept for a day and a night and did not attend the birthday banquet, but her mother drank the second aunt's medicated wine on her father's birthday, which caused her to have an attack of illness and died within two days, which could not be cured by the imperial doctor.
If it weren't for Qin Ruozi getting carried away in the violent room and telling what she and her mother had done together, she would still be kept in the dark.
Could it be that she had just reunited with her mother, and she was going to watch her die?
No, since she was lucky enough to be reborn before the birthday feast began, it was God who gave her the opportunity to save her mother and turn her life around.
Thinking about it, Qin Ruobai's expression was cold, the anger in his eyes flashed, and he said lightly: "As a concubine, if I don't go to celebrate my father's birthday, what will it look like?" In addition, the next time my sister enters someone's boudoir, she can remember to get the permission of the master, and her sister's boudoir is fine, if she goes to someone else's house, it will be like this, but she will make others laugh at her father and goddaughter. ”
Qin Ruozi was slightly stunned, and a suspicious look appeared in her eyes, this sister has always been very fond of her, she never minds such trivial matters, how can she talk with a gun and a stick today, could it be that the little hooves of the bead curtain are exposed, and she is taught to know the truth about falling into the water?
Jiang Cairong was also quite surprised, how her daughter seemed to have changed as a person. If it is said that in the past it was as gentle as cotton, today it is like a needle hidden in the cotton, which is quite sharp.
However, she believed that her daughter's words and deeds had her own reasons, and she did not interfere, but shouted outside the room: "Zhuyu, come and change the clothes of the eldest lady." ”
Qin Ruozi's pink lips moved slightly, and she was about to say something, but when she saw that Qin Ruobai had lifted the quilt and got out of bed, she knew that she couldn't stop her, so she didn't say anything more and said goodbye and went back to the birthday banquet.
At the birthday banquet of the general Qin Zhu, the guests were full of guests.
A beautiful woman dressed in a light green dress got up from her seat, held a wine glass, and smiled at the people in the hall with a smile: "Master, the concubine toasts you with a glass, I wish you all the best, use your soldiers like a god, and win many battles." ”
Then he leaned back and drank it all.
This is Qin Ruozi's mother, the second aunt Du Shi, named Hongyue, although she is only an aunt, but because of the frail health of the main mother and the favor of the master, she holds the real power of the affairs of the house.
Qin Zhu is over forty years old, his hair is thick, his eyes are like copper bells, he laughed when he saw this, and he also drank it with a cup...... There was a touch of displeasure in his eyes, and he thought hatefully, she looked weak and stubborn.
A touch of blue came, and Jiang Cairong, who had not been away from the table for a short time, sat down elegantly.
"If Bai is changing clothes, he will come immediately. She said lightly.
Qin Zhu looked at her without sadness or joy, his heart became more and more unhappy, and he replied lightly "I know", but there was some faint expectation in his heart, his daughter's birthday gift to her father could also reflect her mother's thoughts, he wanted to see what gifts Ruobai brought.
The second aunt squinted at Jiang Cairong, smiled a little more ill-willedly, and said, "Today is the master's birthday, even if my sister is not in good health, she should always wish the master a birthday, right?"
Jiang Cairong glanced at Qin Zhu when she heard this, and saw that his face was pale, and a faint bitterness crossed her eyes.
She beckoned gently, and the maid on the side handed over a glass of wine, she got up, raised her glass to Qin Zhu, and said with a light smile: "What my sister said is that the concubine also respects the lord with a cup, and wishes the lord a new day and a long life." ”
"My sister is worthy of being everyone's lady, and the birthday speech is really elegant. The second aunt covered her lips and smiled, her tone was very sincere, but she secretly exchanged a look with the maid who handed over the wine.
Jiang Cairong ignored the second aunt's seemingly heartfelt praise, and was about to raise her glass to drink, when suddenly her body was bumped, the wine glass fell to the ground, and the wine was shattered, and the wine splashed everywhere.
The house was full of silence.
"Ruobai!" Jiang Cairong looked at her daughter helplessly, and scolded softly, "Why are you reckless, my mother is celebrating my father's birthday, don't you pay it quickly!"
