Chapter 1 — Female Dong Gia Vengeance

In the middle of a cold December, the adopted son I had meticulously cared for for seven years fell into the water. I lost my life for eight months and jumped into the bone-chilling lotus pond to retrieve it. Again, my adopted child was so scared that he lost his nerve, flailing his arms and legs wildly, kicking me, causing me to lose my unborn child. My adopted son knelt in front of my bed and cried until he was hoarse. I ask myself to pay for the life of the child in my womb. The husband who loved me to the core forced her to kneel in the hallway, not allowing her to eat or drink for three days. But how can we bear it? I tried to brace my weak body and bring it food. Go outside from the road. I saw my husband and concubine huddled together again, hugging their adopted son and talking. "Father, mother, you have ruined On Tri Y's child. Does she hate you and won't give you the shop in the future?" The husband's voice rang out: "No, you are the only child she raised herself, she considers you more important than life." The second sister smiled and pinched her adopted child's cheek. "You're too hasty, waiting for On Tri Y's child to be born, just like the previous three, so your father would cover his nose to suffocate, then tell her he couldn't raise her and that's it." My blood was rushing, I quickly grabbed the candlestick on the altar and risked my life with them. Again, the three of them joined forces to pin him down, tie his hands and feet, and throw him into the frozen lotus pond. Opening my eyes again, I returned to the day I picked up my adopted child. The gut-wrenching cry of a newborn baby is like an awl piercing my ear. I lifted the curtain of the carriage. Under the shade of the tree, the newly born red lump of flesh was crying, his face was choked to the point of turning purple, and his diaper had kicked off with his legs. It's that cruel name. It's the white-eyed wolf that gnawed away all my blood and bones in my previous life. In my previous life, I picked it up on the way to the Wen family embroidery shop. Raised it for seven years, taught it to read, asked the master to give it to me, at night when it had a fever I held it and ran half the street to invite the husband. In the end, it ended up crushing my child with one kick. I will never forget, he snuggled into his biological parents' arms, proudly saying that he deliberately pretended to fall into the water. I also can't forget when I was tied up and pushed into the water, he held a rock and hit me directly on the forehead. That deep echo seems to still linger in my bones. Driver Lao Hua held his horse's reins and pointed at the tree. "Miss, we must save..." Before he finished speaking, I snatched the horsewhip from his hand. Aggressively whipped the horse's buttocks. "It's about to rain, let's go." The horse kicked up its hooves and rushed away, the wheels crushed through the mud, dirty water splashed all over the child's face. The crying was left behind, growing farther and farther away. Old Hua turned his head to look, his mouth gaping open. I threw the horse whip back into his arms. "Old Hua, you have been with me for twenty years, you must know what can be picked up and what cannot be picked up in front of the Wen family's door." Old Hua's face turned a little pale, he tightened his grip on the reins. "Miss is right." I let down the curtain, my palm was squeezed by my fingernails until it bled. This time, no one will try to take advantage of my kindness. "I've been looking forward to it for the past few days, and I finally hope to have the Eldest Lady return!" Grandmother Lieu Thi led a group of ladies and stood in front of the Wen palace gate, smiling brighter than the two red lanterns in front of the door. Behind her is my good husband from my previous life, Luc Thua An. At this time, Luc Thua An was just a poor scholar who lived at the Wen family's school, failed to pass the entrance exam three times, and had to rely on copying books for his father in exchange for food. As soon as I got off the carriage, the eyes of Lieu Thi and Luc Thua An were glued to the carriage curtain. One person crumpled his handkerchief, the other smoothed the edge of his sleeve, both appeared gentle, but their necks were stretched longer than those of a goose. They are anxious to see if I will follow you

They were already calculating whether to bring back their illegitimate son, On Nhu Duong, who had just given birth. After my mother died, my father was afraid that Mrs. Lieu would displease me, so he took me to an embroidery shop outside the city to live for three years. The places we can go on weekdays are just the temples and nunneries next door. They had already heard clearly, I couldn't bear to see small animals suffering, injured cats and dogs were taken home to raise. That's why I dare to abandon a newly born child on the road that I must pass when returning to the palace. I swallowed the hatred back into my throat and bowed to Lieu Thi. "Mother Van An. Why haven't I seen sister Nhu Duong? Haven't seen her in three years, she must have grown tall." The handkerchief in Lieu Thi's hand wrinkled into a ball. "Duong Nhi is infected with wind and cold, the husband told her to rest. "You just gave birth, can you not rest? Luc Thua An took a step forward, his tone was very gentle. "Eldest Miss, have you had a safe journey? The streets outside the city are deserted. If you meet a pitiful person, you can count it as a virtue." I raised my eyes to look at him. He still has that clean and gentle appearance, his sleeves have been washed to the point of discoloration, and the jade pendant hanging on his waist is a piece of jade I gave him in his previous life. At that time, I thought he was poor and had strong bones. Later I learned that the snake wore the student's skin and bit deeper. "Very peaceful." I said, "I can't even see a dead mouse." The smile on Lieu Thi's face almost couldn't be kept. She immediately waved her hand and ordered the ladies. "Don't hurry up and carry the things for the First Lady. The road will be bumpy, don't let it be damaged." Several ladies rushed up, some opened the curtains, some climbed into the car. The curtains of the car were lifted, inside were only two old camphor wooden chests. Lieu Thi's eyes froze. Luc Thua An's face turned white little by little, as if someone had lost his soul. He didn't care about his face and rushed to the front of the car and searched through those two chests himself. The lid of the chest was flipped over and made a clatter, inside there were only a few sets of clothes and a few rolls of embroidery samples. "What are you looking for, Mr. Luc?" I asked. His movements stopped, his hand still pressing on the edge of the chest. Lieu Thi quickly smiled conciliatoryly. "Thua An was afraid that your belongings would fall on the street. Look at him, reading books makes you stupid." "So that's it." I nodded, "Then please ask Master Luc to help me see if there is anyone hidden under the car." The maid and wife outside the door all looked towards Luc Thua An. The base of Luc Thua An's ears turned red, he let go of the chest. "Eldest lady is joking." I took a step closer, using a voice just enough for him to hear clearly. "Young master Luc was in such a hurry, people who didn't know, thought you had lost your son." Luc Thua An raised his head. He did not dare to accept, nor did he dare to ask. Lieu Thi coughed from the side. "Tri Y, you just returned to the palace, go see your father first." I looked at her. "What are you in a hurry for, mother? I also want to ask, why did they prepare an extra bowl of rice water in the palace today, and are still warming up the red apple soup that the mother often drinks." Lieu Thi's face darkened. The manageress instinctively hid the food container in her hand behind her back. Luc Thua An glanced at that box of food, and finally couldn't maintain his elegant appearance anymore. "Eldest young lady is coming back from a long way, you shouldn't be suspicious as soon as you enter the door. It's not easy for you to manage housework. As a girl, you should be respectful." I smiled. "Young master Luc is a guest of my Wen family, and on the contrary, he understands how to respect my mother more than this daughter." Mrs. Liu was afraid that he would say the wrong thing again, so she immediately sent someone to help me in. in. When I stepped over the threshold, I heard a woman behind me lowering her voice. "Madam, you're still waiting for news on the east side door." Lieu slapped him. "Shut up." I didn't turn around. Outside the east side door, there must be someone waiting

Take that bastard away. Unfortunately, in this life I did not give them the da.a.o. Wen Shaoting's father is waiting for me in the lobby. After three years of not seeing each other, his temples were gray, but his eyes still looked like he was reviewing the books. First let's see how many things we bring back, then see if we have any useful value. As soon as Lieu entered the door, she sighed. "Master, Tri Y has been working hard on the long journey, and her temper has grown a bit. Just outside the door, she suspected that I was hiding something from pregnant women's soup for Duong Nhi." Father frowned. "Tri Y, has your mother been the housekeeper for many years, has she ever mistreated you?" I stood up straight and neat. "Father is right." Lieu Thi's eyes showed a smug look. Luc Thua An followed in, clasping hands with his father. "Uncle Wen, Eldest Miss has probably been in the manor for a long time and is not familiar with the rules of the palace. She has a kind heart. If she saves any poor people on the road today, she should inform her to make arrangements." He still hasn't given up on the idea. I looked at him and asked softly. "Young Master Luc, why do you insist on biting him so hard that I should save people?" Luc Thua An paused. "I just think, Eldest Miss has always been kind." "You know I have always been kind, so if on the street someone threw a newborn baby under a tree, I should have picked it up, right?" The lobby was immediately quiet. Lieu Thi's hand holding the cup of tea stopped in mid-air. Father looked at her. "What newborn baby?" Luc Thua An immediately said, "You misunderstood, I never said it was a newborn." "That's right, you didn't say." I walked up to my father, "I didn't say which street the child was on. How did Mr. Luc know he was on the street?" Luc Thua An's face turned red, extremely unsightly. Lieu Thi put down the teacup firmly. "Tri Y, as soon as I returned to the palace, I used words to trap customers. Did you learn the rules on the street?" I knelt down. "My daughter doesn't understand the rules, I ask her father to punish her. It's just that she indeed heard a child crying on the street, but she didn't dare to save her." Father's eyes sank. "Why?" "I'm afraid it's a trap from human traffickers." I raised my head, "My daughter left the palace for three years, and today she comes home, if as soon as she entered the door she was carrying a child of unknown origin, what would outsiders say about the Wen family? Would they say that the eldest lady of the Wen family did not know how to be shameless and went out to give birth to evil people?" Lieu's face changed. Wen Nhu Duong was in the back yard on confinement, these two words were like a knife, stabbing straight into her heart. Father was the one who needed face the most, immediately slapped the table. "Nonsense!" "The daughter also found it absurd. That's why I didn't pick it up." I bowed my head. "The daughter has saved the Wen family's reputation, will you still punish her?" The father looked towards Lieu. Lieu Thi forced a smile. "Tri Y is thinking carefully, it's because I'm too sentimental." Luc Thua An still wanted to speak, I looked at him first. "Mr. Luc just said that I have always been kind, and it seems that I really want me to carry that child back to the palace. Or like this, father sent someone to find him. If he is still alive, then register under the name Luc Cong Tu. Mr. Luc is the one who reads books and understands the most virtuous things." The blue veins on his pubic area. Luc Thua An's hand was bruised. "I'm not married yet, how can I raise children?" "If you're not married, you can't raise them?" I retorted, "I'm not married yet, so why does Master Luc think I can raise him?" Father's eyes became even more suspicious. Lieu Thi quickly interrupted, "Master, Duong Nhi is sick, I'll go see her first." She turned around to leave. I spoke up. "Mother, I also want to visit my younger sister. I haven't seen her in three years. She's so sick that she can't get out of bed. I'm the logical sister so I came to visit." Lieu Thi's footsteps stopped. "No need, she's afraid of passing the disease on to me." I stared at her back.
