Accidental Rebirth
Han Yan widened her eyes sharply. Twelve years old! The nightmare of twelve years ago resurfaced right in front of her eyes. Not only that, but the Prince knew about it.
His Highness must've thought she was impure and thus was disgusted with the thought of her. Han Yan's heart felt like that of dead ashes, two lines of clear tears streaming down the corners of her eyes.
Zhuang Yu Shan, however, smiled wider and more cheerfully as she was delighted to witness Han Yan's miserable and despairing appearance. "Younger sister, there is also no need to worry about our father, as our father would rather lose a single daughter than be willing to lose this marriage. Furthermore, Father has always disliked you. Otherwise, why would he permit my mother to get rid of the previous Wang Furen?
Mother? My mother was murdered?!
Zhuang Yu Shan giggled: "Younger sister, you must not have known, but thinking back, it is no wonder, since you only ever stayed in the residence embroidering flowers and playing the qin, never leaving the residence all year round. All the other residence's Furens are not even aware of your existence in this residence."
She raised the wine goblet and approached Han Yan: "A person who others can't even remember her face, dying on the night of the big wedding is not a big deal. In the eyes of the Furens, I am the rightful di daughter in law."
Han Yan paled as her body started shivering. The life that she believed to be harmonious and fulfilling was a grand conspiracy. Upon hearing shrill and pitiful screams beside her, Han Yan realised that she had not seen Chen mother ever since Zhuang Yu Shan came in.
Could it be... she felt a chill in her heart as she stared at Zhuang Yu Shan in disbelief.
Zhuang Yu Shan walked over to Ji Lan and Shu Hong: "I see these two servant girls are loyal, and their appearance is not bad. I'm afraid the guards on duty this evening are exhausted. These two servant girls will be gifted to them as playthings. Tomorrow morning I will allow the two servant girls to meet their master."
Ji Lan and Shu Hong were maids left to Han Yan by her mother. They had been like sisters to her since childhood, but because of her they lost their lives and ended up like this! What a good older sister! What a good stepmother!
Zhuang Yushan finally seemed to tire of talking. She squatted down and pinched Han Yan's chin tightly, fiercely pouring the wine in her hand into Han Yan's throat.
The deadly hemlock poison created a blood seal around the throat. Han Yan had only just felt a sweetness in her throat when blood started dripping from the corner of her mouth.
It was her fault! It was her fault for not knowing the right people, for recognising a thief as her father! She was too naive to be true to her step-sister! If she hadn't stayed in the residence all day, if she hadn't pinned all her hopes on others, if she hadn't fallen in love with Wei Rufeng!
Would everything have still happened?
