Chapter 4 Watching the Moon in the Pavilion

The originally empty courtyard has long been full of people, and everyone's hands are holding a torch. The bright firelight illuminates the whole space. It also illuminated Zhang Zhang's tense face.

At the door, Mother Tian's sharp voice came:

"It has been confirmed that the lady, the eldest lady, and the newly born child have been infected with a terrible epidemic and were ordered by the master to burn it--"

Epidemic, burning.

Duan Qingming finally stopped asking why.

"Hahaha, ha ha..."

"Duan Yulan, do you believe in retribution? Do you believe in cause and effect? Duan Yulan, if there is an afterlife, I will return everything you have added to me ten times - Duan Yulan, my life is your afterlife... I will never forgive you!"

Yes, even if she turns into a devil, even if she sinks into the 18th floor of hell forever, she, Duan Qingming, will revenge.

Duan Qingming hugged the fainting flaws in her arms and tried to open her eyes. Looking outside the narrow door, the man and woman standing watching the fire slowly burst into blood in her eyes.

The fire rushed through the window and swallowed the house in an instant...

The fire is like a long snake. Thick smoke rolled straight into the sky. Before long, the little girl's crying and the curse from hell were all submerged in this sea of fire, and everything was silent again.

The fire burned one after another. The fire, the smoke choked in the throat and eyes, with an almost desperate suffocation.

Fireworks completely surrounded Duan Qingming. It seems that she will be devoured in the next second. Duan Qingming was anxious and opened her eyes.

The sky is on the eve of dawn. A cool wind passed through the window and blew on Duan Qingming's face. Only then did she find that her clothes were all soaked.

Duan Qingming simply sat up. The nightmare just now made her mouth dry, and she reached out to cover her face.

It has been three days since the rebirth. The scene of the previous life flashed countless times in the dream. Such a tragic death, such fierce love, hate and despair often make it unclear which one is a dream and which one is reality.

Beyond the curtain, Xia Caoer still had a deep sleepy voice: "Miss, are you having a nightmare again?"

Duan Qingming slowly raised her head, looked at the concerned face outside the tent, and said tiredly, "Yes, I've been having nightmares recently..."

Yes, it's a nightmare.

A nightmare that will never wake up reminds her of the sins that those people have done to her and her children. It also reminds her that she can never be forgiven.

Xia Caoer brought a glass of water with a semi-old cup. Passing Duan Qingming, he said with some concern, "Miss, drink a glass of water first. It will be dawn later."

Duan Qingming took the cup, but did not drink it. She felt the temperature and humidity from the cup, as if she wanted to make an excuse for the wet corners of her eyes. After a long time, Duan Qingming felt that her breathing rate had dropped, so she raised her head and asked quietly, "That's right, Xia Caoer, where's Mother Ning? Have you found it?"

Mother Ning is Duan Qingming's mother, that is, the dowry of Ding Rou, Duan's wife. She is loyal and even regards Duan Qingming as her own. But since the death of his wife Ding Rou, Liu Rong has squeezed out Ding Rou's people everywhere. Later, even the innocent Mother Ning was casually named by Liu Rong and then driven out of the house.

In the last life, Duan Qingming remembered that after she got married, she accidentally got the news of Mother Ning and knew that M mother Ning had been thinking about her. Unfortunately, Ning's longevity and pain, she finally died with hatred a year before Duan Qingming got married.

For this matter, Duan Qingming has always been worried about this matter and regretted it. In this life, she must find Mage Ning in advance and will never miss the person who is really good to her.

But where should I find Mother Ning? I have to say that this is really a problem.

Fortunately, Duan Qingming still retains the memory of her previous life. She vaguely remembered that after Mian Ning left Duanfu, she went to a place called Yongxiang, where she lived alone and helped people do laundry for a living. She refused to go back to her hometown because she wanted to get more information about Duan Qingming.

Now, Duan Qingming must find M Mother Ning and come back.

After listening to Duan Qingming's words, Xia Caoer also remembered the kindness of Mother Ning. She stood outside the tent and said softly, "Miss, don't worry. I have told my sister's best sister's brother and asked him to inquire about it. I'm afraid there will be news in these two days."

Duan Qingming nodded, but put the cup in his hand on the bed on one side and got out of the bed by herself.

Xia Caoer looked at it and quickly greeted Duan Qingming to hang up the account. She asked with some puzzlement, "Miss, it's not dawn yet. Don't you sleep for a while?"

In Duan Qingming's room, in addition to Xia Caoer, there are also Da Cui and several other maids, but inside and outside are all Liu Rong's people, except for this Xia Caoer, who grew up with Duan Qingming. In her previous life, Duan Qingming did not like Xia Caoer and always felt that she was annoying. Finally, Xia Caoer gradually alienated, which made Xia Caoer suffer from Duan Yulan's poisoned hand. But once reborn, Duan Qingming vowed to keep the person who was good to him, Xia Caoer, was one of them.

Seeing Duan Qingming get out of bed, Xia Caoer hurriedly waited on her to change her clothes and tie her hair. Looking at herself gradually in the mirror, Duan Qingming narrowed her eyes slightly and seemed to be calculating something. Just as Xia Caoer took the water basin and was about to leave, she suddenly asked, "Xia Caoer, what's the first day today?"

Xia Caoer replied, "Miss Hui, today is August 14th."

Duan Qingming's heart moved, August 14? That is to say, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival?

You should know that the Mid-Autumn Festival every year is a very special day for Duanfu. Everyone in the family must appear, and no one is allowed to be absent.

Since the three days of rebirth, Duan Qingming has been closed. It seems that she should show her face in front of Liu Rong tomorrow.

In a blink of an eye, it is August 15th.

When the brightest full moon of the year hangs high on the treetops, the back garden of Duanfu is already full of moon cakes of various colors, as well as those Mid-Autumn Festival fruits, and delicious food.

The seat of the gazebo is located in the middle of the garden, surrounded by open flowers, and the view is extremely wide. Sitting here, you can see the first change of the willows on the moon without effort. At this time, in the pavilion, there was continuous laughter, the girl's coquettish voice, the woman's doting scolding, and the man's bright laughter became the main content here.

The moon passes the willows and turns around the corner of the pavilion. It is as big as a roulette wheel and shining like silk. The three people sitting in the gazebo immediately lit up.

I saw the current man, about 30 years old, with thick eyebrows and bright eyes. He was wearing a light-colored gown and a warm jade pendant around his waist, which made him extraordinary and outstanding.

The person sitting under the man's head is a 27- or 8 year old woman. That woman has bright eyes and teeth, and is charming and beautiful. Her eyebrows are full of spring, her skin is as soft and greasy, and her cherry mouth is red, delicate and light and suitable makeup. Under this warm moonlight, she adds a little seductive amorous style.

She is wearing a long light-colored skirt. The pink is almost white, but it is very charming, like the most natural but seductive blush on the girl's cheeks. Looking at the tailoring of the dress, you will know that it is valuable, especially the sleeves, front of the skirt and corners of the robe are inlaid with plain gold, which highlights her nobleness. Looking at her clothes, hem and skirt, they are all finely constructed and embroidered with blooming red plums, which are stacked and warm and unrestrained, which makes people happy.

This woman, Duan's aunt Liu Rong, is also Duan Zheng's favorite aunt. Although she has not been supported, she has been in control of the prime minister for several years. Therefore, although Liu Rong is still the position of Duan's aunt, she already exists like a hostess.
