Rebirth: Ordinary Life and Living

Zhou Xinyue was extremely nervous. Fanxing hugged Zhou Xinyue, buried her head in her arms and trembled all over!

Zhou Xinyue comforted her and told her not to be afraid.

But where did the child go? The child was gone.

The most helpless thing for Zhou Xinyue right now is that she doesn’t know what to do or where to find her child.

At this time, a voice came from outside saying that they could not hold on any longer.

Zhou Xinyue really wanted to pull Fanxing and escape from the well in Xuanjiyuan, but what would happen to the two children if she escaped?

The most important thing right now is to find the child.

There were all kinds of noises coming from outside, including men fighting, roaring, and the sound of various things breaking.

Gradually it became quiet outside.

Zhou Xinyue slowly walked to the door and opened it. Just as she opened it a little, the door was forced shut by a black-armored soldier with the word "Lai" embroidered on his chest, and then locked it with a padlock.

Zhou Xinyue suddenly became anxious and banged on the door desperately, shouting, "Who are you? Let me out! Who are you? Let me out?"

Before he could finish his words, wooden boards were suddenly nailed on the windows all around.

Zhou Xinyue collapsed all of a sudden, crying and cursing: "You bunch of bastards, let me out, you bunch of blind bears, you stinky men who are worse than dung beetles, let me out..."

Zhou Xinyue kept cursing for a long time, but there was no response from outside, it was surprisingly quiet.

Zhou Xinyue knocked and banged on the door desperately, but it was still quiet outside without a sound.

After a long time, there were occasional sounds of dragging something outside, and the sounds of sweeping and washing the floor.

Zhou Xinyue is very happy and excited every time she hears a sound.

Gradually, someone would deliver meals every morning, noon and evening. The dishes were very rich, but every time the people outside would quickly close the door.

Those people didn't talk to Zhou Xinyue either.

Every time Zhou Xinyue asked them important questions, no one responded.

Zhou Xinyue didn't know how many times she broke down and cried.

Zhou Xinyue also tried to sprinkle medicine powder every time she delivered food, in order to poison the people guarding the gate outside. However, before they could get out, new people would immediately rush up and push them in and lock them up. No matter what she tried, there was no effect.

Zhou Xinyue had been locked in the room for an unknown period of time, and suffered mentally every day.

She missed her children, Kang'er and Zhi'er. She didn't know where Xiaomei had taken the children. She knew Xiaomei was Jin Youyuan's woman, and she knew the children must have been hidden. However, Zhi'er coaxed himself to sleep every night. Without me, how would the child spend the night?

And Kang'er is so young, and it seems that my own milk has gradually disappeared since I haven't fed him for so long.

Although I know that the royal family has been fighting for the throne since ancient times, and I also know that these things will happen sooner or later, when it really happens, neither side wants to see the other side die.

Ayu is dead. Did he really die like this? Was he in pain when he died? Would he think of me and the children?

When Zhou Xinyue thought of every moment she had with Jin Yourong, whether it was drinking and singing and talking about life on the heights of Zhiye City, or life in the former Anle Courtyard or Xuanji Courtyard, spending every day together like husband and wife, and like friends, day and night, Zhou Xinyue's tears dried up when she thought of all this.

Whenever Fanxing gestured to apologize for not taking good care of the children, Zhou Xinyue would comfort her bitterly and tell her that it was not her fault. Xiaomei had been with her day and night for so long and disguised herself so well that she had deceived Jin Wooyoung and herself. She was well prepared, and when the other party is carefully prepared to deceive us, we cannot escape. Every time Fanxing heard these words, she would cry and apologize.

Zhou Xinyue didn't know how long she had stayed in the room. She felt the sun rising and setting outside the window every day, and the alternation of day and night. Besides the infinite hatred in her heart, she was supported by her longing for her child. Otherwise, she would have wanted to bang her head against the wall and follow Jin Yourong.

On this day, the door creaked open. Zhou Xinyue and Fanxing lay on the bed without moving or reacting. They thought that those people would just open the door a little, put the food on the floor at the door, and then hurriedly close the door as usual. It was mainly because they were scared by Zhou Xinyue. One moment a handful of poison powder was blown at them, one moment they put their hands in their eyes and were almost blinded, and one moment they were cursed for their ancestors. All these unexpected things made the people at the door change several times, and they were scared.

But this day was different from the past. The door creaked open and the fresh air from outside blew in, shocking Zhou Xinyue all over.

The air seemed to be filled with the scent of flowers, which instantly cleared Zhou Xinyue's mind after being imprisoned for a long time.

Zhou Xinyue felt very strange that the door of the room was completely open, until someone called out, "Girl, it's me, Xiaomei."

Zhou Xinyue was shocked all over and slowly turned around from the bed. Looking at Xiaomei standing in front of her, her heart filled with anger. She rushed over and slapped Xiaomei.

Xiaomei did not resist, nor did she hate Zhou Xinyue. She immediately knelt down and apologized, saying, "I'm sorry, girl. You can hit me as long as you can calm down."

Zhou Xinyue grabbed Xiaomei's throat and yelled with bloodshot eyes, "Where are my children? Where are Kang'er and Zhi'er? Where are they? Tell me!"

Xiaomei felt uncomfortable because her throat was pinched, and she said with difficulty: "The children are fine, the children are fine, don't worry, girl."

"What I'm asking is where are they? Tell me!"

Xiaomei's face turned red from being pinched and she couldn't speak.

Zhou Xinyue's eyes were red, and she said angrily: "Do you know that I wish I could strangle you, the traitor, to death right now."

After saying that, Zhou Xinyue let go and pushed Xiaomei away.

Xiaomei kept coughing, cleared her throat, knelt down and cried, "I'm sorry, young lady, I made you worry. The children have been in the palace, in the next courtyard. Kang'er and Zhi'er can only be comforted when they hear your scolding outside Xuanji Courtyard every day. The children are fine, don't worry, we are taking good care of them."

"Take me to the baby now, right now."

Xiaomei knelt down and said, "Girl, you haven't washed for a long time. Please wash and tidy up first."

"Do you think I care about my appearance right now? I want to see the kid, right now."

Xiaomei said fearfully, "Girl, you'd better wash and change your clothes first. The master will come to see you in a while. This is the master's order. The master said that if you don't agree, he will make sure you never see the child again."

Zhou Xinyue smiled bitterly and said, "I see. Threatening me with a child is indeed one of his common tactics. Okay, I promise you."

Xiaomei kowtowed quickly: "Miss, I'm sorry."

Soon Xiaomei called many people in, and a bathtub, hot water, toiletries, clothes and everything else were prepared.

Fanxing was called out and Zhou Xinyue asked her to take care of the two children.

Xiaomei washed Zhou Xinyue slowly.
