I'm reborn, so it's not too much to kill the one who traveled through the book, right?

"Gu Shen, I have good news for you, my son finally passed the imperial examination!

It's worth your hard work and efforts to support my son's education. Take the medicine quickly and go on your journey with peace of mind!"

Liu stood in the dirty and smelly woodshed, holding a bowl of medicine and looking disgusted.

When she looked at the woman lying in the corner, her eyes were seven parts indifference, three parts disgust, and the rest was nothing but arrogance.

On the half-broken wooden board in front of her, a skinny woman was lying, with a piece of black and hard torn cotton wool covering her body, as if she were lying on nothing.

I don’t know how much blood she lost. The blood actually flowed through the wooden board and onto the ground outside the board, turning black and smelling bad.

If the woman's chest hadn't been rising and falling slightly, someone who didn't know would have thought she was dead.

Gu Zhaoming passed the imperial examination?

Shen Rong was happy at first, but then she realized the meaning behind Liu's words.

Drink medicine?

Travel with peace of mind?

What do you mean?

Shen Rong thought of a possibility and her breathing became a little rapid.

She tried to climb up from the wooden board, but found that her body was already frozen and her hands and feet were out of control.

She turned her head with difficulty and tried to say something.

As a result, the ugly scar on the left side of her face frightened Liu so much that she took several steps back.

"What are you dawdling about? Take the medicine now! My son is a successful candidate in the imperial examination. How can an ugly bastard like you be worthy of the title?"

Liu realized that she was frightened and her voice rose several degrees.

Shen Rong slowly raised her arm and touched her face.

She knew exactly what she looked like without looking in a mirror or touching herself.

The left half of his face was full of pits and pits, and most of it was occupied by a brown scar.

Although the right half of her face had not been damaged, it had already aged like an old woman due to overwork. It was loose, shriveled, and full of wrinkles, and had long lost the color of her youth.

She got married at the age of fifteen and became a housewife of the Gu family. In just ten years, just after the flower season, she had been worn out like an old woman, aged and weathered.

The scar on her face was originally caused by Liu, but now it has become a pretext for her to prove that she is unworthy of Gu Zhaoming.

Shen Rong's eyes were as calm as a pool of stagnant water, yet filled with unfathomable hatred and unwillingness.

Why?

Liu looked at the disgustingly ugly face and a hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.

This face is so well ruined!

At the beginning, as soon as this vixen came into the house, she pestered her son all day long, so much so that Zhaoming had no time to concentrate on his studies.

If she hadn't destroyed the face herself, how could her son be where he is today?

It was all thanks to her, his mother, that Zhaoming was able to pass the imperial examination and become a juren!

Liu had a smug smile on her face, her nose turned towards Shen Rong, and her tone was harsh and impatient.

"Hurry up! Don't dawdle.

Do you want me to take a mirror and show you how disgusting your face is now?"

Shen Rong said in a hoarse voice, "...I...want Gu Zhaoming to come and see me in person..."

Liu's face was full of impatience, "You are in such a horrible state now, you'd better not pollute the eyes of the scholar!"

Shen Rong's chest heaved violently. Who caused her to be in this state?

When the old woman fell ill, she took care of her day and night and brought her medicine. However, one time, the medicine was a little scalding, and the old woman splashed the entire bowl of medicine on her face, and her face was disfigured from then on.

Now, how could this old hag have the nerve to look down on her?

Gu Mingzhao, that unfaithful man, now that he is in power, even looking at her feels like an eyesore.

But it wasn't like this when I proposed to her. How could a person's heart change so completely?

In the first year of their marriage, they were in love and inseparable. Gu Zhaoming even taught her to read and write, held her hand and drew her eyebrows every day, and pitied her when she was cold and tired...

When did he start to change?

Shen Rong was immersed in memories.

"You have been childless for ten years and look like a plain girl. Seeing how hard you have worked to support the family, I have reserved a place for you outside the Gu family's ancestral tomb. Go ahead and rest assured!"

A deep male voice pulled Shen Rong back from her thousands of thoughts.

Why?

Ten years!

A full ten years!

She had worked like a slave in the Gu family for ten years, but in the end, she was not even worthy of being buried in the Gu family's ancestral tomb after her death?

She is not reconciled!

Shen Rong's eyes were tearful, and her dry hands were digging into the wooden board tightly. The pain of broken nails was not as great as the pain in her heart.

At the beginning, the Gu family was extremely poor. If it weren't for the Shen family's entire family's efforts to support his studies, would Gu Zhaoming be where he is today?

In order to support his studies, her family spent all their savings.

A woman of three years old has no housework to do, and she gets up early and goes to bed late, without having to wake up in the morning.

She was a girl who had never done housework, but since she entered the Gu family, she had to work in the fields during the day, and when she returned home, she had to serve her mother-in-law Liu. She also had to weave cloth at night and did not go to bed until the rooster crowed. She endured this for ten years!

All I got in return was a sentence: You have been childless for ten years and you look like a plain girl!

But before she married Gu Mingzhao, she was beautiful and was one of the most beautiful young ladies in the nearby villages.

And the kids...

Thinking of her child who had died in vain, Shen Rong struggled to prop up her upper body, staring at Gu Zhaoming with her bloodshot eyes.

"Why…"

Why did you kill your wife?

Why abort her hard-earned child?

"Hehehe... Sanniang, tell me, what else could it be?"

A woman slowly walked out from behind Gu Zhaoming.

The woman was wearing a red dress, with pearls and jade on her head, and a proud look on her face. Her belly was slightly protruding, and she had one hand on her belly.

"Of course it's because of what's in my belly! My son must be the eldest son of the Gu family."

Shen Rong looked at the person who came in disbelief.

How could it be her?

Before Shen Rong could scold the couple, a big hand suddenly grabbed her face and poured the entire bowl of medicine into her mouth.

Shen Rong tilted her head back and stared at Gu Zhaoming intently, the hot medicine mixed with her tears flowing down her neck.

All the medicine was poured into her mouth. After a while, Shen Rong felt a sharp pain in her abdomen, her eyes went black, and she died completely.

"No child for ten years, a plain-looking woman..."

"No!"

Shen Rong screamed and suddenly sat up from the bed, cold sweat streaming down her forehead.

When she looked up, she saw the familiar apricot-colored bed curtains and smelled the cool scent of bamboo. That cold and ruthless voice seemed to still echo in her ears.

Shen Rong's mind was a little confused. After a while, she realized that this seemed to be her boudoir before she got married.

Shen Rong opened the bed curtains and her eyes widened. "This..."

Isn't she dead?

Wasn't he poisoned to death by the poison that Gu Zhaoming himself poured into his mouth?

how……

Shen Rong touched her face in disbelief. It felt smooth and delicate. The slender hands in front of her were white and delicate. The skin that had become rough due to work in the past was no longer there.

She was stunned.

Was she dreaming before, or had she returned to the time before she got married?

At this moment, the door was pushed open from the outside, and the familiar fragrance of bamboo immediately hit me in the face.

Shen Rong looked towards the door.

The visitor was dressed in coarse cloth, and her face showed some signs of age, but her beautiful appearance could not be concealed.

Her ink-black black hair was tied behind her head with a wooden hairpin, and her delicate brows were slightly furrowed.

Shen Rong saw who was coming and rubbed her eyes subconsciously. Didn't her mother already...

Lu hurried to Shen Rong's bedside, "Sanniang, what happened? Did you... have a nightmare?"

"Mom?" Shen Rong grabbed her mother's arm.

It’s hot, mother’s body is hot.

Mother is still alive!

Everything in front of her was reminding Shen Rong that she had returned to the time before she got married.

Shen Rong's tears flowed without warning.

"Oh my! You are going to marry into the Gu family tomorrow. You are already an adult, why do you still cry all the time?"

As Lu spoke, she straightened Shen Rong's messy hair one by one.

what?

She is going to marry into the Gu family tomorrow?
