494 The wings
There were dozens of women in Lu Yang’s residence. They either looked similar to Gu Xin or had the skills that Gu Xin had learned in the brothel.
Every year, Lu Zheng would take a lock of hair the size of a chopstick and a thumb from them. He would also take away their cut nails. On the 15th day of the first lunar month, he would force them to give a bowl of blood, and then treat them with good food and drink.
It had been half a year since the first girl who entered the public house after Gu Xin’s death.
During this period, eight lantern festivals had passed, and the first batch of girls had their blood drained eight times.
In the last year of the Lantern Festival, Lu Zheng had finally tormented himself to death.
After his death, the Grandmaster of the Xiangguo Temple had come to a realization and helped him settle his funeral Affairs. He had given the dozens of girls a share of the silver, shops, manors, and a thick sum of money. No one bore a grudge against Lu Zheng, not even a few from the palace.
This was because their backgrounds were more miserable. They were either sold by their families or had no parents. They had wasted a few years, using their hair, nails, and a few bowls of blood to exchange for such a large sum of money. Moreover, they were from the Duke Zhengguo’s mansion. No one bullied them. Perhaps they were even grateful to Lu Zheng!
She was the only one who bore a grudge against Lu Zheng. She hated Gu Xin, the girl from Yangzhou, who was in Lu Zheng’s heart.
It was because of this adulterous couple that she did not become the Imperial consort.
If it wasn’t for Lu Zheng, that girl Gu Xin would definitely have been favored by the new emperor and given birth to a Prince. With her methods, it wasn’t impossible for her to become the Empress. It was all because of this adulterous couple!
In the winter when she was ten years old, she made a fuss about going to the manor to play. In the end, she was kidnapped halfway and then fed medicine. The same batch of people around her age were sent to a place to teach them how to seduce men.
It was only later that she found out that these people had been trained and sent to the third Prince, who later became the Emperor.
After six years of nurturing, when she was sixteen, only she and another person were sent to the third Prince’s estate.
Unfortunately, the two of them never got the chance. In the end, she cruelly betrayed her companion in exchange for the third Prince’s Trust. In the end, when the third Prince ascended the throne, she also entered the palace to be a Palace maid.
After Lu Zheng’s death, the Emperor ordered people to find her and bring her into the palace. Then, he gave her a cup of poisoned wine.
She was almost forced to drink it. In the end, when she woke up again, it was the year when she was ten years old and was caught by a kidnapper on the way to the manor.
This time, she naturally did not let the kidnapper have his way. She had already experienced it the last time, so how could she let herself be knocked out this time? so, she bit her tongue to wake herself up. While the kidnapper thought that she had been knocked out and was unprepared, she jumped out of the car and fell into the pool, and was saved.
In this life, she must marry into the third Prince’s family gloriously. She had a bargaining chip in her hands. She knew the identity of her second aunt and cousin.
As for Lu Zheng and Gu Xin, this adulterous couple, she would not touch them for the time being. When she became the third Prince’s wife, she would slowly deal with them.
In this life, the third Prince did not need Lu Zheng as his right-hand man. She was enough. She knew how things had developed in her previous life!
Li Shan looked at herself in the mirror and let out a deep breath.
……
In the garden, while the girls were chatting happily, there was some noise on the big tree not far away, and it was quite loud.
Li Jun asked the maidservant to go and see what was going on. The maidservant came back and reported, ” “Young master asked ah Dong to fly down from the tree with his wings!”
Li Jun asked,’Yingying is using the wings that big brother made himself? Wasn’t he just messing around? From last year to this year, how many times has ah Dong been thrown to the ground by him!”
“Li Muyan knows how to make wings?” Gu Nian asked curiously. What wings? It can still fly?”
