Chapter 1 The sound of his voice she loved
hose two people who stole the portraits, Bai Feng who looked exactly like my mother, and the infant who died back then, and today's discovery of Shuangshuang...Every single clue, every little piece of...An Xuetang was woken up.
She was being carried on someone's shoulders. The person carrying her was walking in a zigzag fashion, his steps were hurried, but he didn't forget to curse along the way.
"You ungrateful little wretch, you should be thanking your lucky stars that someone wants to marry you! How dare you resist"
"Hmph, in the end, I had to force this old lady to feed you with a powerful concoction. Making me waste my energy carrying you up the mountain, what kind of karma have I brought upon myself, oh dear."
"You good-for-nothing bum, you've been eating and drinking for free for so many years and now you want me to go to the authorities Just wait until I get my hands on you!"
"If it weren't for the fact that I pity this disabled person and am willing to sell you to him for just twenty taels, I would definitely sell you to a brothel."
The woman cursed the entire way, and An Xuetang only felt like her whole body was about to be shaken apart, her mind in a haze.
She did want this woman to shut up, but unfortunately, she was powerless, unable even to speak. How could she possibly reprimand this oblivious woman
She had lived for thirty years, and no one had ever dared to speak to her like this, let alone curse at her.
As the all-around assassin of the nation's top killer organization (Dark Night), An Xue Tang excelled in both medicine and toxicology. No one in the organization dared to disrespect her because they feared incurring her wrath, knowing she was the only one who could treat their wounds. Even more so, they feared her retaliation.
Everyone in the organization knows that An Xuetang is notorious for her vindictiveness, so who would dare to provoke her
The woman dares to shout like this now, isn't she just taking advantage of the fact that she can't move
It doesn't matter, as long as we don't kill her. A gentleman takes revenge for ten years, it is not too late.
However, what concerned her more now was whether she was dead or alive Was she now in the underworld or had she truly been lucky enough to survive
She remembered it clearly. After she was seriously injured, she was pushed off a cliff thousands of meters high by the person she trusted most, her so-called 'friend'.
She should have been dead by now, shouldn't she What's going on
Before An Xue Tang could think more, suddenly, she felt a dizzy spell, and then many memories that didn't belong to her began to flood her mind.
Moments later, An Xuetang was directly petrified. She digested for a long time but still couldn't digest it.
She, An Xuetang... actually crossed over
Is that really so dramatic
As some memories became clearer, An Xuetang had to accept this fact.
She really crossed over, crossing into a parallel universe.
She didn't know what stage this time and space had reached. From the original owner's memories, she only knew that the country she was in was called Tianba, and it was currently in a period of war.
Of course, the war had little to do with her. After all, she was just a country girl.
Although her father was an examiner who went out, she hadn't heard from him in eighteen years, and he was probably dead by now.
The original owner's life story is truly pathetic. His father went to the capital to take the imperial examinations eighteen years ago and has not been heard from since.
The original owner's mother was timid and cowardly, bullied by her mother-in-law every day and afraid to speak up. Because she was beautiful, her mother-in-law scolded her for being a fox spirit who had bewitched her son's soul.
Her uncle's family treated the original owner even worse than a farm animal. She wasn't even treated as well as a maid.
Grandparents don't even need to be mentioned, their favoritism is blatant, loving only the two children from the eldest brother's family.
The original owner's appearance resembled her mother, she was pretty and charming. Around the age of sixteen when she came of age, many families came to propose marriage.
But the original owner's grandmother insisted on a dowry of twenty taels, and everyone was scared off by this exorbitant price.
You know, these days, a mature male laborer's annual income is only two to three taels.
Who would be willing to spend twenty taels of silver to marry a country girl
So the original owner has been worn down until now, and tomorrow will be her eighteenth birthday. You have to know that in this era, if a woman is not married by eighteen, her family elders will be questioned.
Thus, in order to avoid being held accountable, the original owner's grandmother, Wang, wanted to sell her.
The original owner was supposed to be sold to a forty-something widower in the neighboring village, but the widower died suddenly the day after he came to propose marriage.
Now that she has the reputation of a widow bringing misfortune to her husband, who would dare to marry her
Wang was furious and wanted to sell her off secretly to a brothel in the neighboring town. But just then, someone suddenly came to the door to propose marriage for the brother, offering twenty taels of silver for the original owner's hand in marriage.
That man's name was Yun Liu. He and his brother, who had a disability in both legs, arrived in Lingshui Village three months ago.
Two people built a wooden house at the foot of a mountain, some distance from the village. They rarely interacted with the villagers.
But villagers all knew Cloud Six's older brother had a defect and had never shown his face in public.
It is rumored that Yunliu's brother is extremely ugly and has a violent temper.
The protagonist had heard these rumors before, so when she learned that she was to be married to such a disabled man, the original owner was very resistant. She even went on a two-day hunger strike.
It's a pity, her resistance was useless. She was already weak after starving herself, and then she died after being force-fed strong medicine.
Then, An Xuetang arrived.
The only coincidence is that the original owner's name was also An Xuetang, allegedly given to her by her cultured father.
In the 21st century, An Xue Tang expressed her gratitude to this possibly deadbeat father, at least An Xue Tang didn't have to be called something like "Big Sister" or "Second Sister".
Having sorted through the original owner's memories, An Xuetang was finally carried to their destination.
She knew she was still weak, so she chose to feign unconsciousness. She didn't know who this Yunliu and his brother were, and for now, the best policy was to remain calm and observe.
Mainly, even if she wanted to run, her body wouldn't allow it now.
"The man brought it to you, quickly pay the rest of the silver."
Yunliu looked at the woman's back with an emotionless expression. He handed over a pouch filled with ten taels of silver.
The woman's eyes lit up the moment she saw the heavy purse, and she instantly threw the frail An Xue Tang to the ground.
An Xue Tang: “!!”
Damn
Damn Wang family, we've got a big score to settle now. You're the first one who ever dared to treat my grandma like that!
Yunliu probably didn't expect this woman to just throw the person on the ground. He froze for a few seconds before picking them up.
The woman wasn't even paying attention to An Xuetang anymore at this point. She counted the silver, confirmed it was correct, and then hurried out the door, muttering as she went:
"Now the people belong to your family. Whether they live or die is your concern. There are no returns. Anyway, the silver is mine."
As soon as she finished speaking, she ran away without looking back, as if afraid that Yunliu would change her mind.
Yun Liu didn't even glance at her. He carried An Xue Tang into a room.
At this moment, a man sat on the wooden bed inside the room. Even though he heard someone enter, his eyes remained completely still.
Yunliu placed the man on the bed, and the man's brow finally twitched.
He glanced at the woman, his voice low and deep, magnetically charged, "What's going on"
When An Xuetang heard the man's voice, her eyelashes fluttered, a hint of excitement in her eyes.
Heaven, she loved the sound of this man's voice.
You know, An Xue Tang isn't just a lookist, she's also a sound enthusiast.
Yunliu sighed helplessly, "She didn't want to marry. That woman drugged her and forced her here."
At this moment, Mo Yunjing suddenly narrowed his eyes and stared at An Xuetang's face, "How long are you going to pretend to be unconscious"is also be possibleAn Xuetang clenched her fists, "The people outside have been keeping an eye on our mansion's every move. Yun Si finding Shan Zhai is certainly not something that can be kept secret....
