After sending off the night watch, Nanny was just about to go to sleep when she heard a noise. She put on a robe and walked over.
Seeing that the window wasn't closed properly, her face sank as she swore in her heart.
"These Nanny s do things without any starting or ending …"
She was just about to walk over and close the window when the night wind blew and extinguished the candles in the room.
The room turned dark.
Because Marquis Anping's Wife had the habit of collecting Night Pearls, the green light of the Night Pearls illuminated the room.
When the candle flame went out, Marquis Anping's Wife instinctively turned to look at the other side of the flame.
However, at this moment, a slight sound came from the window behind her.
It was not the sound of the wind.
The sound was also not loud, so soft that it could almost be ignored.
Other than the window that had not been closed, the only other sound that could be heard was the sound of the wind blowing against the walls. It was a terrifying silence.
In the darkness, the Marquis Anping's Wife slowly turned his head and his gaze slowly shifted back to the window.
But there was no one.
So it really was just the wind.
She stiffened and breathed a small sigh of relief.
Borrowing the light from the Night Pearls in the room, Marquis Anping's Wife was just about to step forward and ignite the candle flame once again.
However, her gaze had not completely left the window when she saw a white shadow appear on the previously empty window.
She took a few steps back in shock.
The white shadow stood against the window, its back facing the gloomy darkness, against the wind.
He looked like a person.
White clothes, black hair. His back was facing her, but his neck was slightly bent. His long hair was loose and loose, falling down to his shoulders.
His face could not be seen.
Marquis Anping's Wife swallowed his saliva unconsciously, and did not dare to move again.
She wanted to open her mouth and call for someone to come in, but the white shadow that had been silent all this time suddenly moved.
He slowly turned around.
Just as she wanted to see who the other party was, the sight before her left her stunned as though she had been struck by lightning. In an instant, she was petrified.
It was a very familiar face.
Although his face was pale without a trace of color.
Blood dripped from the corners of her eyes, but she was still able to recognize that face.
It was easily recognizable.
Shocked expressions filled his eyes. Marquis Anping's Wife's chest was heaving heavily, but he did not scream out loud. Instead, he opened his mouth to probe.
"Hua, Hualan …"
As soon as she said it, the white shadow laughed.
Because in the entire chamber, there was only the light of the Night Pearls.
The light was eerie when it hit the pale, bleeding face of the white shadow. The other party's laughter was also extremely horrifying.
It was a smile that was not a smile, but a cry that was not a cry. It sounded like the cry of a human, but also like the cry of a wild animal.
Although the Marquis Anping's Wife was old and had seen and heard too many strange and bizarre things in the world, she still felt her whole body go soft, and her legs almost became unsteady.
His face was shockingly pale.
The laughter stopped, and an ear-piercing voice slowly rang out.
"It's been ten years. Little sister, I still remember you. I said, you've been lying in the cold coffin for ten years, and now you're coming back to find someone you know. You can accompany me there."
Marquis Anping's Wife's face became even paler as her voice trembled visibly.
"Little sister, although little sister shared a husband with big sister, when big sister was still alive, little sister had never shown the slightest bit of disrespect to big sister. Big sister, how can big sister find little sister to accompany you?!"
The white silhouette chuckled again. The sound seemed to come from far away, as though it was completely empty, floating in the air.
"When I was still alive, I was doted upon by the duke. How could you dare to disrespect me, little sister, but …"
The laughter suddenly stopped. In an instant, his voice turned cold and stern.
Once I'm dead, my sister will go with Empress, my sister's most trusted Empress, and together they will murder my sister's only child. I will make her suffer in this world for ten years, and that's all, today when she returned from the rain, you scolded her harshly, and you didn't feel the slightest bit of pain for her.
Marquis Anping's Wife's legs went limp as his body suddenly fell onto the ground, as if he had lost all support.
"I, little sister doesn't have one, I don't have one …"
"No?!" I can clearly see that the Empress is ruthless and merciless. He personally made a move and bestowed the Crane Head Red Elixir on me, if I refuse, the Eastern Palace Prince will grab my throat and strangle me to death inside the room!
When my son was hiding under the bed and was discovered by the crown prince, he was pinched and knocked unconscious into the lake. Little sister, you were standing by the lake! "
"If you don't help, then this elder sister will forgive you. After all, Empress is willing to help even this close friend of mine, let alone this younger sister. However, this younger sister, you have already attached yourself to the Empress and took over my position, becoming my husband's wife!
Furthermore, you are ruthless to my son and have done all sorts of heinous things. If you make me, how can I let you go?! "
The white shadow spoke each word clearly and clearly, recounting everything that had happened that year in detail. Marquis Anping's Wife's complexion was completely pale.
The white shadow in his eyes was really a ghost, really a ghost!
Sweat began to form on her forehead, and her palms became completely wet. Her lips trembled for a long time before she was able to find her voice.
"I, I was just passing by at that time, so I didn't know that the Snow Tea was thrown into the lake by the Crown Prince after he knocked her out. She didn't take her place as his younger sister wanted, she was the one that Empress saw her, and when she saw her standing by the lake, she thought that her younger sister knew everything.
I really, really didn't do anything. I, my sister admits that my sister is jealous of my sister, to be able to receive Master Hou's favor, but … but my sister definitely doesn't have the intention to kill my sister. I beg my sister, please let my sister go! "
After she finished speaking, her hands and feet trembled as she knelt on the ground. Her hands were clasped together as she kneeled lowly in front of the white figure.
A cold light suddenly flashed through the white shadow's bloodshot eyes.
"He still said he didn't!" I had originally wanted to see how old you were to let you go, but you instead spoke with a sword of honey, and specifically spoke with it, "My Nanny, my child's wet nurse, do you think I do not know how she died?!"
My son was assassinated the moment he returned to Capital City, do you think I don't know about that? Also, when my son went to Grand Guanyin Temple to pray for Buddha, there were three men who wanted to be lighter than her, and you think I didn't know who sent them?!
The harsh retorts caused Marquis Anping's Wife to lose all her spirit and soul, as she told everything she knew.
It's her! It's her, she wanted her sister to poison in Nanny's water, her sister's child was lucky, and Master Hou went back to the manor at that time, so it wasn't good for Empress to make a move on her. She thought that since she had lost someone by her side, she wouldn't be able to live long, but who knew that Master Hou would send a servant girl to her.
"I also told her to take good care of Xueyu, because she is the Marquis' spy, so the Empress would never dare to act rashly. My sister admitted that Xueyu really does have talent, and my sister only sent her people to take care of her because she was afraid that she would take Xueyu's name from her. She only wanted her to be ruined, so my sister never wanted her to die!
It was later on when the Empress sent someone to inform Little Sister that Little Sister was required to guard against the snow tea, and it had nothing to do with Little Sister being found out. Big Sister, please let Little Sister go! "
Marquis Anping's Wife laid on the ground, her hands and feet trembling uncontrollably. The white shadow was silent for a while, and just as she was about to look, the white shadow suddenly spoke.
"I have done so many things for the Empress, yet the Empress still sent me underground. Little Sister, since you are so pleased with yourself, be careful that the Empress may use the same reason to eliminate you."
"Big sister, big sister, don't scare little sister again."
Marquis Anping's Wife kowtowed to her.
"In the future, little sister will treat the snow tea ten times or even a hundred times better. Seeing that little sister is sincerely repentant, I hope you can tell little sister that the excuse that big sister was eliminated by the Empress. This little sister will definitely avoid this matter, so that little sister can have her life back."
The white shadow narrowed its eyes.
"Do you still not know the reason why Empress killed me back then?"
The Marquis Anping's Wife didn't have the slightest thought now.
She had always believed in ghosts and gods. Every time she was 15 years old, she would have to kowtow and worship to the gods.
"Empress didn't tell Little Sister about this matter. Little Sister only knows that Big Sister was hurt by Empress, but I don't know the reason why. Please tell Little Sister."
"Then what about the poison in my son's body? You don't even know who poisoned him?"
"Is the Snow Tea poisoned?!"
The Marquis Anping's Wife asked in shock. Seeing the horrifying expression on the white shadow's face, she couldn't help but lower her eyes.
The white shadow was silent for a moment.
Ten years ago, my son was poisoned, but luckily, he has already been cured. You don't know anything about him, so you might be able to live for a long time!
Marquis Anping's Wife's eyes lit up.
"Elder sister, is what you said true?!"
The white shadow coldly snorted.
"If you continue to do wicked things to my son, before the heavens even take you in, I will drag you down with me. Feel the cold underground temperature."
"Yes, yes, yes …"
Before Marquis Anping's Wife could finish replying, his head tilted and his body dropped down with a loud bang.
The white shadow jumped down from the window, she walked towards Marquis Anping's Wife and squatted down, then pulled out the silver needle that had stabbed into the back of Marquis Anping's Wife's neck.
Subsequently, he took out a painting from his wide robes and threw it on top of her body. The white shadow glanced at her, and under the dark green light, a bloodthirsty look appeared in her eyes.
"One day, you will understand that paying a debt of blood with blood is not something that can be written off with just a few kowtows!"
The next day, the Marquis Anping Mansion was in chaos.
Just as Lin Xuecha stretched and was about to get up, he rushed in quickly from outside the house.
