Reborn: Revenge of the Concubine's Daughter

Chapter 283 - No need to drink poisonous wine with a smile

Chapter 283 No need to drink poisonous wine with a smile

Concubine He’s eyes turned into the golden brown, more exotic than Zhu Quan’s brown eyes. When she saw Zhu Quan next to the bed, her flower-liked lips moved softly. She could only mouth words because she had lost her voice long ago.

Zhu Quan suddenly remembered that he had burnt her throat with hot charcoal. Without the clear and sweet voice, she could no longer comfort him when he was frustrated. Besides, she must hate him. Could they start over? Zhu Quan let out a painful sob and threw himself on the bed. He stroked her lips with his fingers and promised, “I know a lot of good doctors. You will be fine soon. Every man would be mad at that thing, and I have been merciful enough to you.”

Concubine He mouthed the two words several times. He Danggui instantly got it—Sun Meiniang. However, although Zhu Quan knew a bit of lip-language, he didn’t understand what Concubine He was trying to say. He didn’t know Sun Meiniang. In short, the current Zhu Quan only had the IQ of a child. He grabbed a needle from the sewing box next to him and put it in Concubine He’s hand. He ordered, “Hurry up and heal yourself! I know you can!”

The pale hand was too weak to hold the round needle. Concubine He repeated the name of “Sun Meiniang” for one last time, and then her eyes froze forever. He Danggui breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was momentary recovery of consciousness just before death. Concubine He would have no pain finally. It was the best ending for her.

But Zhu Quan didn’t think so. He jumped up with great anger and cursed her, “No one cares about your death! So do I! My favorite woman now is Xi Bao. She is much better than you! I will go to her if you die!”

Xi Bao was the new plaything found by Zhu Quan after Concubine He, who was also from the south. She was intelligent and talented. However, Concubine He was dead, but Xi Bao had just begun her promising life.

Concubine He’s body, like a withered flower, angered Zhu Quan. He stepped onto the bed and grabbed her thin shoulders. Then he shook them vigorously while exclaiming, “Retaliation, right? It’s useless. I don’t care about you at all! I won’t be sad!” With no response, Zhu Quan was drowned in pain. Then he shook her even harder, “Look at me! Don’t you like to see me? Don’t you always peek at me every night? Now look at me as you wish!”

The sound shook the dust off the beams, echoing in the room and the mansion. From noon to dusk, from day to night, that sound kept reverberating uninterruptedly and became hoarse gradually. It was like a desperate beast repeating a monotonous syllable shrilly, and people couldn’t help listening to it.

The face of Bai Yangbai appeared next to the window. He hesitated for a moment but left in the end. Zhou Jinglan’s resentful eyes also appeared there, which only flickered for a while before disappearing.

Later, a woman in a yellow dress with a delicate look walked into the room. She went to Zhu Quan and boldly said, “My Lord, let her go. You should care about yourself. You haven’t eaten anything for so long. I am worried about you. What’s more, she deserves this. My Lord, you have treated her so well, but she dared to cheat on you.” This woman was Xi Bao, a clever woman. When Concubine He was wronged, many women in the mansion ran to watch, but she was not among them.

“Damn it. Wake up!” Zhu Quan turned a deaf ear to Xi Bao’s advice. He continued to shout hoarsely, “I know you hate me. If you wake up, I will let you do anything you want to me!” He Danggui thought it turned out that he had self-knowledge.

Xi Bao took a step closer. She frowned and whispered, “Just let her go. My Lord, I’m here with you. You are so tired. You should go to bed.”

“Ah—’’ Zhu Quan looked at Xi Bao with a grim face. Xi Bao was frightened and began to shed tears. Zhu Quan pressed the skinny Concubine He into his arms and exclaimed in despair, “Where is she going? She can’t go anywhere. She is mine! Ah—”

He Danggui doubted whether this man was the real Zhu Quan. If he was so affectionate, why would he immerse his beloved Concubine He in the ice water? Qing’er said that Zhu Quan was like “Yamamura Sadako’s father”. She didn’t understand what it meant. Qing’er explained that it meant the worst sinner in the world. She thought, “Zhu Quan, you have killed Concubine He. You cannot erase the hatred, because you were so ruthless at the time.”

Zhu Quan trembled intensely. He finally was aware of the irreversibility of the death. In just half a day, the glamorous Lord Ning in the morning was replaced by a decadent man with a beard now. He shook Concubine He over and over again, repeating nonsense, “If you leave me alone, I will kill everyone in your family, including your mother. I will sacrifice them for you! You lied to me. You have said that you would never leave me alone! I will not let you go!”

He Danggui pouted. When a man was out of mind, he would be ten times more irrational than a woman. He killed her, but he blamed her for breaking her promises. She thought, “Zhu Quan, why don’t you count how many promises were broken by you? You have no right to accuse others.”

Although Concubine He was dead, she also left a sarcastic smile, seeming to laugh at Zhu Quan’s ridiculousness.

The ridiculous Zhu Quan wailed. Hot tears slid down his face, and then soaked Concubine He’s hair. He held the body numbly, roared, shouted, threatened, cursed, ordered, criticized, apologized, entreated and accused, “Don’t you say that you will always forgive me? Don’t you say that you will always be with me? Don’t you say that you are mine? You…you love me so much, but why can’t you give me one more chance?”

His tears dripped on her chest, where there was no heartbeat. He buried his face in her hair and wailed vaguely. After losing her, he suddenly realized that he could not continue his great cause. Without her, the throne was less attractive. But it was too late. She was gone.

When she liked him, he didn’t like her; When she loved him, he liked her; When she was gone finally, he loved her.

Did she leave too early? Or was it because her love was too early and his love was too late?

Concubine He said something many years ago, “If I didn’t love you, I wouldn’t miss you, wouldn’t be jealous of the woman next to you, wouldn’t lose my confidence and fight, and wouldn’t be in pain. That would be great if I didn’t love you.” Love turned out to be the pain of losing confidence and fight.

Their Love began with hope and ended in despair. No hopes and requirements were left for him from her. If he did not love her, everything would be fine.

Love turned out to be drinking poisonous wine with a smile.

Xi Bao suddenly let out a scream. She pointed at Concubine He’s chest with her white slim finger. She was too shocked to speak. He Danggui was also surprised because of this amazing scene. Some changes suddenly happened to Concubine He.

Her shriveled chest bulged and became full, showing a crystal luster. It was like two cherry blossoms had fallen on the top of a snowy ridge. This change quickly spread to her whole body. Her face became more youthful and fresher than Qian Bao. Besides, her slender waist was like a blooming flower branch, and her skin was like snow and jade.

Her appearance returned to the past when she was eighteen years old. She was like a breathless painting. He Danggui thought, “Is this the terrifying power of Xiaoyao Poison?” The prices were the pain and the disappearing of the soul, and the reward was the return of beauty. What was the use of being beautiful if people were dead?

Zhu Quan was shocked by the change. He muttered, “She is a fairy! Now she has gone back to her palace… Is this the last gift she left to me?” He immersed himself in her breasts. When he raised his head later, his eyes were already stained with sexual desire. He raised his hand, and then the silver hook hanging on the curtain broke automatically, covering the scenery on the bed. He laughed hoarsely, “You left this gift and abandoned me. You went back to the heaven as a fairy. You are heartless woman… I will give you a lesson… and let you beg for my mercy…”

Looking at the two shadows on the bed, Xi Bao understood Zhu Quan’s intention and exclaimed, “My Lord, she is dead. You can’t do this! Besides, she is not clean!”

Zhu Quan half raised his head and yelled, “Get out of here! Get out! Get out!”

Xi Bao shed tears, and then rushed out of the room. She sobbed while covering her mouth. But she even did not forget to close the door.

Zhu Quan let out a crazy laugh and yelled, “I’m so nice to you. I will only be with you from now on. We will never be apart again. Yiyi, are you satisfied? I want nothing but to hold you to sleep. Are you satisfied? You just want it, right?” He climbed on her, reviewing the familiar dance between them.

He Danggui outside the wall took out the cedar box and smashed it onto the wall, trying to destroy everything, especially that mad Zhu Quan. If he wanted sex, he had better find another woman! Scram! Scram!

The cedar box was knocked into pieces soon, and a black double-ring jade pendant fell out with a strand of black hair wrapped around it. That was Meng Xuan’s hair cut with a sword before. There were also several letters tightly sealed in an envelope. She picked up the jade pendant, crying and remembering that she had Meng Xuan loving her now. That Meng Xuan from three years later might have died because of her. So, she needed to protect the current Meng Xuan to make him safe until three years later. If she did this, would those things in three years later be gone away with the wind like dust?

She slid to the ground, leaning her back against the wall. Zhu Quan’s horny whispers went clearly into her ears, “Yiyi, do you like this? Do you miss it? We have not made out for more than one year, and I know you can’t wait for it. Don’t worry, I will compensate you…”

Tears soaked the black jade pendant. She asked silently, “Meng Xuan, what should I do? Zhu Quan is insane now.”

At the same time, there were panting and groans coming from the wall intermittently, accompanied by some short laughs. However, someone kicked open the door and lifted the curtain. That was Bai Yangbai, and he shouted angrily, “What are you doing? Are you crazy?!”

He Danggui turned back with teary eyes. She saw Zhu Quan slip out of the quilt in a white coat with pink cheeks. Then, He drunkenly got out of the bed, staggering and muttering, “We are making out. Why are you here? She is my concubine. She loves me. She was afraid that I would be lonely in the future, so she left her body to me for diversion… What am I doing? I’m doing what a couple will do naturally.”

Bai Yangbai opened the quilt and took a look at it angrily. Then, He wrapped Concubine He tightly with the quilt and took it to leave.

Zhu Quan, who was changing his clothes, rushed out to snatch the quilt. He shouted angrily, “Why are you stealing my woman? Ming Ri said you have a dubious relationship, but I didn’t believe it. But it turns out to be true! You can’t take her!”

Bai Yangbai sneered with hatred, “I hate that I didn’t take her away sooner. I hate myself so much. I can never forgive myself!”

“She belongs to me. You can’t take her. She is mine.” Zhu Quan grabbed the quilt like a child snatching his candy, “Give her back to me. She is mine! Mine!” As long as he kept her body carefully, sooner or later, she would come back to him. She was a gentle person, and she would forgive him soon.

Bai Yangbai was not Zhu Quan’s opponent, but he resisted letting her go. He shouted, “She should have been mine long ago. When I met her, you didn’t even know her. I should have taken her at that time. You don’t deserve her at all!”

Zhu Quan slapped Bai Yangbai’s shoulder heavily and took back the quilt. He said coldly, “I don’t care what happened between you and her, nor kill you. Don’t ruin our lives. Since you like disguise so much, just go to Wu Xiang Ge and be Lord Ning. I want to be a happy couple with Yiyi. I will never leave this room from now on, and I will go to the heaven to find her if she doesn’t come to me.” The blood dripped out from his mouth, but he didn’t feel it. “She said that she was waiting for me in the heaven. She loves me, not you.”

Bai Yangbai vomited blood and felt a sharp pain in his left shoulder. His shoulder blade had been shattered. He shouted angrily, “Damn it! If you hurt me, I will not be able to gather her soul! Within six hours, her soul would disperse forever! The poison in her body is so vicious that it will swallow her soul!”
