Reborn: Revenge of the Concubine's Daughter

Chapter 303 The Desperate Love

To become a good woman? He Danggui was silent for a moment when she heard the words. After she revenged herself on Sun Meiniang, should she stop? Luo Chuangu and Luo Baiqiong were her grandfather’s offspring. Should she forget the grudges in her previous life? Would she go astray by giving her enemies what they deserved?

Meng Ying, as an offspring of 56th generation of Mencius, really liked to preach benevolence and righteousness. She almost shook her faith a little. He didn’t know anything at all! How dared he judge her? He only knew the outcome instead of the cause.

Meng Ying asked, “Miss He, what do you think? Master Duan will take care of your kid and you.”

He Danggui sighed and then put her right hand on her left wrist, trying to feel the pulse. She said seriously, “The qi and blood circulated normally in pericardium channel, lung channel, and gallbladder channel. The pulse is smooth without any signs of pregnancy. Instead of a nonexistent son, my nonsense nephew is really a problem for me. How would a seven-year-old boy deceive all of you guys who are arrogant and smart? I told you the truth, but no one believed me.” Then, she punched her lower abdomen several times, “Look, you should believe it now.”

Meng Ying stepped forward in a panic to grab her “assertive” arm and said comfortingly, “Fine! I believe in you. No need to lose your temper. We never have had this conversation, okay?”

He Danggui shook off his hand. At first, she didn’t understand why Meng Ying and Chang Nuo both believed that she had a child of Zhu Quan. Later, she remembered that her look when she had the dialogue with Zhu Quan previously might make Meng Ying and Chang Nuo misunderstand. After all, she and Zhu Quan used to be a “couple”. They couldn’t control their expressions.

He Danggui gave up explaining. Meng Ying had already had an established impression of her. No matter what he would tell Meng Xuan and Duan Xiaolou, she couldn’t stop him. Let him be! Time would eventually prove her words.

She turned back to the ancestral hall, and Meng Ying hurriedly stopped her, “What do you say about Master Duan? He is still waiting for my letter.”

He Danggui asked, “Is he here?”

“Yes, indeed.”

“Then why doesn’t he come to see me himself but send you here?”

“How do I know?” Meng Ying frowned, and the ash on his face fell off, “I sympathize with him! He has been loving a girl for three years. In the end, she only calls him ‘Mr. Duan’. It is really desperate.”

He Danggui lowered her head and said slowly, “Then tell him that I am fine. I am very sorry for his father and his son. My condolences.”

“That’s it?” Meng Ying asked, “Do you want to marry him?”

“…I don’t know.”

“You don’t know?” Meng Ying snorted, “Should I tell him just like this?” Maybe she had too many choices.

He Danggui lowered her head, “I need to think about it...” Then, she walked away.

Meng Ying asked behind her, “Where are you going?” “The ancestral hall. Don’t follow me.” Meng Ying was speechless after hearing it. A narrow-minded, brutal, and incorrigible woman! Why did Duan Xiaolou set up such a trick to capture her? She was the most stubborn stone he had ever seen, with no tenderness of a woman. He gave her the opportunity, but she didn’t cherish it at all. In that case, he did not have to care about his brother’s affection…

In the ancestral hall, Madam Luo had returned and was watching the execution with a string of prayer beads in her hands. He Danggui sat back to her bed and listened to the counting. The joy that had just been washed away by Meng Ying reemerged in her heart. How could she doubt her righteous revenge? If Sun Meiniang had not done the evil things, how would she be frightened by darkness and sound? No one forced her but she killed herself. She was always on the road to death.

Luo Chuangu killed Run Xiang and Gan Cao casually. What two pitiful girls! Luo Chuangu could go back to his room to enjoy drinking and wait for the next innocent girl, but why?

Luo Baiqiong looked weak and delicate in this life. However, it was only because He Danggui became stronger after her rebirth. Therefore, she could use Peng Shi as bait to lead Luo Baiqiong to the ancestral hall. Then she poked Luo Baiqiong’s acupoint and fed the medicine. Luo Baiqiong’s white and tender hands that threw the snake to kill her daughter in the previous life might also have this potential in this life. Even if Luo Baiqiong was not guilty enough to die now, He Danggui must break her wings in advance before the demon in her heart came out.

As for Luo Baishao, she didn’t need to be punished because of Sun Meiniang and Luo Baiqiong, but He Danggui would observe her…

He Danggui smiled happily under the veil, which was captured by Meng Ying who was looking at her through the window. Meng Ying thought that Brother Xuan was captivated by He Danggui because he was so young and had spent too much time in the army. He didn’t know many women. Fortunately, he was a smart one. Even if He Danggui married another man, he would not go crazy as Master Duan did. A hero would have a wife sooner or later. On the other hand, Brother Xuan might not like her so much. Maybe she attracted his curiosity with her unfathomable image… Well, using Master Duan’s method to pick this poisonous flower away might be a good choice… Except for Master Duan, no one deemed her as their destiny… Besides, Brother Meng would not be angry for too long because she was not the right one for him.

At the same time, someone was observing He Danggui as she did that to Sun Meiniang. When she gave the verdict to Luo Chuangu and Luo Baiqiong, somebody also held the idea of “saving the sufferings” and wanted to eliminate every evil soul. Setting up a trap for her, this good guy treated her like a fish in the net. Maybe this guy looked down on her too much; maybe she forgot the painful scars because of being carefree for a long time. What was the reason for breaking up with Duan Xiaolou three years ago?

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

“Nine hundred and thirty-one, nine hundred and thirty-two... nine hundred and fifty-five...”

In front of the spectators, Sun Meiniang’s head hit the threshold repeatedly. That sturdy mahogany threshold had been knocked crooked. Sun Meiniang’s once beautiful face was now horrible and terrifying. Even the maid who was executing stopped cursing and softened her act. People usually felt desolate when they saw a person reaching the end of the road, although the person was heinous. Even when the play that Cao Cao was put to rout in Battle of the Red Cliffs was performed on the stage, the audience would also feel sad.

He Danggui combed her hair. The tragedy of her mother and herself perhaps all started when Sun Meiniang sent her cousin Ms. Zeng to He’s Mansion to do bad things. Although Sun Meiniang climbed to the position of the wife in charge of Luo’s Family, she had always been nostalgic for her old lover. Dissatisfied with the rich days, she always took pleasure in hurting and destroying people. The most unreasonable thing was that Sun Meiniang did not go to her old lover for revenge but set the target on He Danggui, who was also the victim. In the end, she led herself to the dead end.

“Boom!Boom! Boom!”

This hatred had finally cleared up now. If Sun Meiniang had any opinion, she should go to the instigator of all tragedies, He Jingxian, and ask for an explanation. Why did he agree to his father’s marriage appointment? Why did he seduce two women who he didn’t love when going to Yangzhou City for a blind date? Why did he marry one of them and abandon the other? Why did he abandon the woman he married and his daughter? “Humph, Sun Meiniang, you should make divination at the bottom of the well!” He Danggui thought.

“Meiniang!” Luo Chuangu rushed in fiercely, apparently having heard that Sun Meiniang angered Madam Luo and was punished by her. He was very satisfied with his “virtuous” wife. He had long regarded her as his second mother. Now, since she was pregnant and was about to see the coming of a child, Luo Chuangu had served her more thoughtfully, hoping that she would give birth to a son.

He just went to the kitchen to get a lot of tonics back to Bao Qin Ge. When he came back, servants told him that Sun Meiniang went to the ancestral hall to punish He Danggui and Luo Chuanxiong. He didn’t really care at the moment. His wife could do everything she liked! If she got something to do, she would not be so suspicious about Run Xiang coming to her.

Unexpectedly, as soon as a table of exquisite food was set up, he was shocked by the news that his wife pissed Madam Luo off and was detained to kowtow in front of the ancestral hall for a thousand times!

So, Luo Chuangu lost his bowl and chopsticks and trotted to the ancestral hall, trying to help his wife.

Before Luo Chuangu interfered with the execution, Miss Ji stopped him at the gate, telling him the whole story. Previously, hearing about the death of Gan Cao as soon as she returned to Luo’s Mansion, Miss Ji hated and feared Luo Chuangu very much. At this moment, speaking to him, she was still scared. However, as she spoke, she gradually let go of her words smoothly and even added something new to what had just happened. Anyway, only a few people knew the truth and he dared not to ask Madam Luo. She was Luo Chuangu’s only source.

Without the scruple of the master and servant, Miss Ji told Luo Chuangu that Sun Meiniang poisoned his concubines’ babies, had fornication with different men, had been pregnant for four times and had abortions. The most explosive news was that when Sun Meiniang was pregnant with her first child, she was only eighteen years ago. At that time, she had not married Luo Chuangu. After telling all of these, Miss Ji sighed and left there.

Luo Chuangu instantly thought about the fact that Sun Meiniang did not bleed on the first night. He was so angry that rushed to the dying Sun Meiniang. He punched and kicked at her, adding new injuries. It was terrible. Even the threshold was kicked away by him.

“Crack!”

After the threshold was broken, several things underneath were immediately revealed, attracting surrounding people’s attention. They were four small dark wooden boxes.
