After rebirth, she became the favorite of the powerful minister.

The nanny said that the lady was fine during lunch and there was nothing unusual about her. She just complained a few times about the young master being disobedient. She also asked the servants to pay attention to which girl the young master was close to. It would be better if he could find one that satisfied his taste.

A quarter of an hour after lunch, my wife would take a nap every day, about half an hour.

The sun was shining brightly today, and the nanny was taking out the winter clothes from the box to dry in the sun when she suddenly heard the sound of something heavy falling to the floor in the room. She rushed in and saw the lady lying on the floor unconscious... The doctor came quickly and smelled the small white porcelain bottle next to it and said it was arsenic.

As soon as Yuan Ge entered the room, without waiting for the maids and old women to speak, she instructed the doctor to induce vomiting according to her method to wake the person up, and then took the pulse, wrote a prescription, and asked someone to boil the medicine. After all this trouble, the person woke up, but was still weak. He looked at everyone with a dull look, and his vision was still vague. He raised his hand for a long while, then put it down, and sighed silently... There was no light in his eyes, only gray, like the night after a thick fog.

Mr. Xu didn't come.

The nanny said that Xu Chengjin's father had not gone out today, and the maid also went to invite someone as soon as possible, but... the door of the study was closed, and the maid didn't see anyone. The other party said lightly through the door, "If he is not dead, go find a doctor, if he is dead, go find a funeral, why are you looking for me?" While speaking, a woman's laughter came from the room, a sweet and sticky laughter, it was that foreign dancer...

The maid didn't dare tell these words to Madam Xu. She kept them in her heart for a long time. Finally, she told them to Xu Chengjin while crying. She choked up as she spoke, and she spoke one sentence intermittently for a long time.

Xu Chengjin clenched his fists and listened to the whole thing. After a while, he uttered three words from between his teeth, "Please come again."

Seeing the maid hesitate, Xu Chengjin gritted his teeth and added, "Tell him that if he doesn't want the dancer to die inexplicably, then come here. You have to perform today's play with your eyes closed!" When he said these words, the purple veins on his neck were faintly visible, and his face was as cold as if covered with a layer of invisible frost and snow.

The maid ran out with her head down. Xu Chengjin stood there for a long time before he turned to look at Yuan Ge and said softly, "My childhood was spent in her beatings and scolding. She beat me because I wrote a word wrong, recited a poem wrong, made her angry, made that man angry, and even because the food in the kitchen was not to my taste. I hated her. From childhood to adulthood, I don't even know how many times I cursed her, cursing her to death, cursing her to live a life worse than death... But I, but I..."

He stood there with his head hung like a lost dog.

Yuan Ge tilted his head to look at him, raised his hand at the side, hesitated for a moment and finally patted his shoulder, "I know... she is hateful, but also pitiful. A woman trapped in love but unable to be loved is like a traveler trapped in the desert who sees an oasis in a mirage when he is dying... But, Nan Yin, you are outside her desert, you can't save her, and the oasis in the mirage can't save her either. So... don't blame yourself."

He didn't speak.

It has been so long since I last heard this name. It seems like something from the last lifetime... but the scolding, beatings and abuse from even longer ago seem to have happened just yesterday.

After a long moment, his Adam's apple rolled and he whispered, "Thank you." If it was anyone else lying there today, he would be able to deal with it calmly, but it was her... The woman whom he had cursed to die countless times stepped into the gates of hell, and he was destined to be in a state of panic and helpless.

Not far away, Song Wenyuan had been standing under the tree for a long time... Xu Chengjin was not a person who would open his heart to others casually. He looked as casual as he was actually. Jin Yunian had been drinking with him for three years before he reluctantly listened to his casual account of the past. Xu Chengjin was a coward. He looked happy and cheerful, but in fact, he was more thoughtful than anyone else. He hid all the bad, sad, and heartbreaking things, until he even thought that these things had never existed.

The conversation between the two was unclear, but Xu Chengjin, who subconsciously wiped his hands after grabbing Jin Yunian, seemed to be completely unaware of Wen Qian's closeness. This could only be achieved by two familiar people? And just now, when Xu Chengjin heard that Mrs. Xu had committed suicide, the first person he looked at was Wen Qian. When did these two...

It's not that he doubted that there was something going on between the two of them, but the feeling of being isolated made him a little irritated. Song Wenyuan suppressed the corner of his mouth and looked at the man who rushed in with a scantily clad woman at the door.

Xu's father, Xu Yongqiang, hugged his new dancer lover and came to "visit" his wife who had just been rescued from the gates of hell.

Xu Chengjin, whose expression had just calmed down, suddenly had red eyes. He rushed over with clenched fists and stopped the man, calling him by his full name, "Xu, Yong, Qiang! Can you have a little humanity?! She almost died!"

The other person raised his eyelids and said lazily, "Isn't he not dead? Arsenic... Arsenic can be saved?" His tone was nonchalant and cold, as if the person lying inside was just an ordinary person on the street, not his wife or the mother of his child.

The foreign dancer twisted her waist like a water snake, and the bells on her ankles rang slightly, which was very pleasant to hear. Her laughter was also pleasant, like a silver bell, crisp and clear, "That means the sister inside doesn't really want to commit suicide... If she really wanted to commit suicide, she should find a quiet night and drink a bottle of water. That would be something that even the Golden Immortal couldn't save... Master, don't you agree?"

"Who are you?!" Xu Chengjin raised his hand and held it in the air. He clenched it, but didn't hit him. He pointed at the door and said, "Get out!"

The foreign dancer danced even more happily, her face full of pride and insolence, "Master... the young master wanted to beat me, and you didn't do anything about it."

Xu Yongqiang calmly pinched her waist and said in a calm voice, "He doesn't dare."

"He doesn't dare, but I do." Yuan Ge stepped forward and stopped Xu Chengjin behind him. "I am a woman, and I also beat women. I have no relationship with the elders here, and I have no relationship with you at all. I don't have any concerns that Xu Chengjin has. What's more, I am a woman. Even if I pull your hair and press you to the ground and slap you, I'm afraid your master wouldn't be able to interfere in a woman's conflict, right?"

After saying that, she giggled, with bright eyes and white teeth.

Both coquettish and cunning.

The foreign dancer was dumbfounded. "Who are you?! Get out of here and stop meddling in other people's business!"

Song Wenyuan, who was standing under the tree with his arms crossed, loosened his hands, closed his eyelids slightly, and walked over.
