Chapter 74
Mu Yunyao turned her head and smiled, "If you say you're not curious, then you must be lying. However, if Madam isn't willing to speak, then I'll force you to. If Madame is willing to speak, and I don't need to ask, then I'll choose to not ask."
Hearing her explanation, the corner of her lips raised, but she didn't wait for the smile to spread. Instead, she suddenly disappeared. "Do you have a sister?"
"No, mother had injured my body when I was alive and then left it for good. I was the only child in the family and had no brothers or sisters. I was often envious of others for having hands and feet to protect me." Ding Yue Lan sneered, "Before, I thought so too. My elder sister and I were not born from the same mother, but when I was young, in order to save me, she fell into the pond, causing her to become frail and sickly, so I treated her as my own elder sister. After that, I even protected her carefully for many years and twisted her body for her.
"Your temper..."
As she said that, Ding Yue Lan fell into silence. An intense wave of sorrow spread out from her body, causing Mu Yunyao, who was at the side, to feel her heart tighten.
"Who would have thought that this person's heart is the easiest thing to change in this world? What you think is good, what you think is a deep sisterly love, what you think is a couple, they're all like smoke in the dark. When the wind blows and the smoke disappears, you'll be able to see that it's just a mess …"
Mu Yunyao didn't rashly interrupt, but waited for Yue Lan to finish speaking before getting up and taking the teacup from her. "Madam, the tea is cold, I'll help you get a bowl of hot tea. Once you've drank a bowl of hot ginger tea and become warm, those ice-cold matters won't oppress people so much."
Ding Yue Lan was stunned. She waited until Mu Yunyao placed the changed tea cup in her hand before gradually regaining her senses.
At the tea house, the steam rose in spirals, making people's eyes burn. She raised her head to drink the slightly hot ginger tea, then lay down on the soft couch and closed her eyes.
Mu Yunyao brought a small blanket over her and gently helped Ding Yinglan put it over her body. Afterwards, she stealthily left the room. However, when she left, she accidentally saw bright liquid rolling down from the corners of her eyes.
Seeing Mu Yunyao come out, Jinlan hurriedly went forward to welcome her, "Miss, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, all of you go rest. I still have something to do tomorrow!"
"Yes, if anything happens, Miss, please call us in time."
Mu Yunyao nodded. After Jinlan and Jinqiao left, she couldn't help but find a chair to sit on. As her thoughts returned, the memories that were buried within her slowly surfaced.
When she first saw Ding Yue Xin and Ding Yue during Madam Ye's banquet, she thought that she was overthinking things. After asking Lady Jin a few times, she was sure that Ding Yue Lan was the same person she had met in her previous life.
In her previous life, she saw that Ding Yue Lan was at the execution grounds. At that time, she had just become Prince Jin's concubine, and he had doted on her in every way possible. When he was resting in the restaurant, he saw Ding Yue Lan's prison cart driving past on the street. Her hair was messy, and she was covered in blood. It could be said that she was in a very sorry state, but there was a carefree and determined smile in her eyes. Even when many people around her were throwing vegetables at her, her eyes were full of pride.
At that time, she only felt curious and asked. In order to curry favor with her, the guard beside Prince Jin had specially called the restaurant's shopkeeper over to explain the situation. Only then did she know that she had killed her sister, brother-in-law and her husband with her bare hands. Because the person killed was an official, she was escorted to the capital to be interrogated and then sentenced to beheading. At that time, the commoners discussed endlessly and gradually unearthed quite a few secrets.
Of course. At that time, both the rank 5 official Ziling knew that she was favored by the same person. Later on, the same person knew that she had a beautiful woman in her arms, but she refused to give up. In order to get close to her, she married her younger sister.
Ding Yue Lan. After their marriage, Xuanfu had secretly written a melody for many years with his sister, secretly drugged her with sterilization drugs, and conspired to deceive her, taking away all of her dowry. Later on, he found out that her sister was basically an adopted daughter, not his own blood sister, so he could not suppress the hatred in his heart and took advantage of it.
While she was secretly having an affair with her husband, she had stabbed two people to death. She had also killed Ziling, who had come to check out the situation.
Afterwards, the matter gradually began to spread, and after a long period of clamor in the capital, it gradually began to fade away.
As the sound of footsteps came, Mu Yunyao snapped out of her daze and raised her head to see Ding Yue Lan walking over. She was not surprised in the least, this woman was able to have a resolute expression on her face when facing death the moment she arrived at the execution grounds, a trivial twist could cause her to be lost for a moment but was unable to knock her down.
When she saw Mu Yunyao standing guard outside, a trace of warmth could not help but appear in her eyes. "Miss Mu, sorry to disturb you so late in the night. Don't throw away my wet clothes for me, I like it very much.
"Madam, don't worry. I'm also reluctant to part with such a good set of clothes."
"Alright, then I'll take my leave."
Mu Yunyao took the oil-paper umbrella and gave it to her. "It's still raining heavily outside. Although this umbrella is simple and crude, it can still protect you for a while. Madame can bring it with you."
"Thank you very much," Ding Yue Lan took the oil-paper umbrella after carefully looking at it for a while. Madam, please take care. I will be waiting for you in two days to come and fetch the clothes. " Mu Yunyao always had a smile on her face in the end. In a predicament, a tiny bit of kindness might be able to save a person from fire and water. Back then, when she was trapped in a desperate situation, what she hoped the most was for someone to see her suffering.
They were unlucky and had not encountered each other yet. Now, when she saw a person who had the same expression of despair as she did back then, she couldn't help feeling pain in her heart. She could only hope that she didn't do anything wrong. Ding Yue Lan didn't say anything. Mu Yunyao walked her down the stairs and watched as she carried her umbrella through the rain and disappeared into the vast expanse of heaven and earth. For a moment, she felt at a loss. This person was also a pitiful person. He hoped that she would understand and not end up the same as her previous life. For the sake of those people, she had to sacrifice her own life. Just a little …
Not worth it.
Mu Yunyao went upstairs to rest. It wasn't clear if it was because of the memories of the past, but the dream that lingered around her tonight made her feel as if she had returned to the lonely and helpless world of her past life. While she was suffering and struggling, she suddenly felt two rays of light shoot into her body, causing her to suddenly open her eyes.
She was drenched in cold sweat as she stood up and walked to the window. It was unknown when the rain had stopped, but the weather was extremely depressing, making it hard for people to breathe. On the second floor, when Mu Yunyao stood up and walked towards the window, she opened her eyes. Hearing the light footsteps from upstairs walking to the window and not returning for a long time, he couldn't help but furrow his brows even more tightly. He waited for nearly two hours before he heard the sound of the window closing, and then the footsteps returning to his bedside.
