Ten Miles of Red Makeup: The Legend of Ming Yu

Chapter 273 Nightmare
When the basin of cold water was poured down, the smile on the eldest lady's face froze a bit, and all joy and smiles were covered by dark clouds.

Beidinghou Mansion sent people to come to burn paper money yesterday, but everyone waited from morning to night, and Beidinghou Mansion didn’t come, nor did they send anyone to say anything. .

The eldest wife knew that the third wife couldn't see her complacent, so her stagnation dissipated, and she said with a smile, "Beiding Hou's mansion finally got the opportunity to come to the lakeside of Wangfu to worship, why didn't you come, as for others? When the time comes, I don’t care and I don’t want to.”

The third wife nodded and smiled, "Then sister-in-law is so happy?"

The eldest lady sat down and said, "The third master of Taifu Liu's mansion has become the head of Yuelu Academy."

The third wife was stunned for a moment, her eyes swept over Ming Concubine's face without any trace, and she said meaningfully, "That's really a happy family and a sad family."

The one who is happy is naturally the eldest wife, who has these two words on her face. She helped Chu Mofeng fall in love with a girl from Liu Taifu's mansion, and she is about to become an in-law. Liu Taifu's mansion will soon be full of peaches and plums. Feng said that there is no harm, but Ming concubine, Mr. Jiang lost the post of head of Yuelu Academy, Mrs. Su was ill, Qing Yaxuan was sealed off, and the Su family was in dire straits. Of course, her granddaughter would be a little sad.

The third wife glanced over, and Ming concubine saw it, but she didn't take it seriously. The road of life is inevitably bumpy, and if you jump over it, you will be nothing. Whoever can laugh at the end is the winner. Calculate.

The Su family will not always be in decline, and the eldest wife will not always be proud.

The head of the house wanted to marry Liu Taifu's house, but unfortunately, some people held her back.

Just as Ming concubine thought this way, a maid wearing a pale blue dress came in outside and said, "Madam, the lady of Taifu Liu's residence is here."

"Please!"

The eldest lady couldn't wait to give orders.

Because of her joy, after the servant girl went out to greet Mrs. Liu, she chased after her. As soon as she left, the smile on the third wife's face faded a bit.

Her face sank, and she didn't smile for a long time, until Mrs. Liu came in, with a welcoming smile on her face.

Ming concubine originally planned to escape, but now, of course, she stayed to watch the fun.

It's only been three days since I saw her. Mrs. Liu's face was pale and her steps were sloppy. Seeing her like this, the old lady was startled, "What's wrong?"

It is said that people are in good spirits on happy occasions. Master Liu San and Master Liu are brothers with deep brotherhood. Master Liu San is the head of Yuelu Academy. She should be happy to be the elder sister-in-law. Why is her face so pale? Very sad?
Not only Mrs. Liu's complexion is not good, but also Mrs. Liu's complexion is not much better. Mrs. Liu sighed, "I'm here to retire."

The third wife's eyes widened, "What's the matter? What happened?"

Her voice was a little eager. After all, every woman has a gossip heart, especially the eldest wife who was so proud just now.

Mrs. Liu sat down and said weakly, "A few days ago, the eldest lady invited me to the palace to drink tea and enjoy the flowers, and made an appointment for Pingting. When I returned from Zhennan Palace, the three of us, master and servant, had nightmares. I haven't slept well for three nights, Pingting is weak and timid, and now she still has a high fever, I'm... scared."

It was rumored that the young master of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion killed his wife, killed the eldest girl of the Beidinghou Mansion, and almost killed the third girl. She thought her daughter was blessed, but who would have thought that she would think too highly of herself? Young Master Chu is good, if not Afraid of death, Mrs. Liu was unwilling to come to the house to withdraw the marriage.

Although it can be guessed from Mrs. Liu's face that she came to withdraw from the marriage, but when she really said it, the corners of the third wife's mouth unconsciously ticked upwards, fearing that she would be seen gloating, the third wife pretended to be sorry and said, "It's a pity Now, I see that Feng'er and Miss Liu are a match made in heaven, who would have thought it would be like this..."

Mrs. Liu was also very sorry, the same regret as the second wife of the Beiding Houfu, after all Chu Mofeng is really good, she just said, "Young master will definitely meet a girl with great blessings to spend his life with."

But this girl will not be her daughter.

Mrs. Liu took out the engagement token she received two days ago from her bosom, and wrapped it in an embroidered handkerchief, not because she was afraid of breaking it, but because it was already broken, and she might cut her hands if she held it with her hands.

The eldest lady frowned and said, "This is..."

Mrs. Liu sighed, "I took this jade pendant back and gave it to Pingting. She had nightmares at night and accidentally dropped the jade pendant."

The betrothal tokens of the young master of the Zhennan Palace and the future young mistress must not be ordinary precious, but also a concentric jade pendant, which is distressing and unlucky if it falls.

The old lady no longer had the previous joy on her face, she looked at the old lady, and the old lady said, "There is no turning point for this marriage?"

Mrs. Liu didn't say a word, she didn't want to withdraw from the marriage, but they regretted their lives.

In the house, the quiet needle drop can be heard.

The quieter the room was, the clearer the footsteps came from outside the house. The servant girl came in and said, "Madam, the Madam of Beidinghoufu is here."

The eldest wife felt like yelling at her.

As if thinking of something, the third wife let out a cry that caught everyone's eyes, and said, "Why is it such a coincidence, it's all a nightmare?"

Mrs. Liu looked at her, "Who else is having nightmares?"

The third wife wanted her to ask, so she said, "The eldest wife of Beiding Hou's mansion, she said that Miss Jiang gave her dreams every night, so don't come to our Zhennan Palace to burn paper money to worship her daughter."

Mrs. Liu's face froze, and she was glad that she went to the door to withdraw from the marriage, and it would be better if Miss Jiang's ghost haunted them.

As soon as he spoke, the eldest wife of the Beidinghou Mansion came, her face was a little uglier than that of Mrs. Liu, after all Mrs. Liu was just having nightmares, and Mrs. Jiang not only had nightmares, but also missed her dead daughter.

Seeing Mrs. Liu sitting in the room, Mrs. Jiang faltered and said, "Did I come by accident?"

Come to burn paper money, no matter when you come, it is not a coincidence.

Mrs. Liu got up and said, "There is still something to do in the house, so I will take my leave first."

The servant girl hurriedly helped her to leave, the eldest lady was busy greeting Mrs. Jiang, but she didn't go to see her off, and the third wife couldn't do it anymore. The old lady asked Mama Qian to send Mrs. Liu out of the house.

Mrs. Jiang blamed herself, "Yesterday, I heard that the Changfang married Liu Taifu's mansion. I was afraid that it would be bad luck to come to the door to burn paper money, so I deliberately moved it back for a day. I didn't expect to meet again."

The third wife had a mocking smile in her eyes, and she said in a normal tone, "Mrs. Jiang, don't be too ashamed. Mrs. Liu is here today to retire."

A flash of surprise flashed in Mrs. Jiang's eyes, and her tone was raised by three points, "Retirement? What's wrong with Miss Liu?"

The eldest wife's face was gloomy, and her silver teeth were barely broken.

The third wife sighed and said, "After three days of engagement, Miss Liu had nightmares for three days, and she lost a lot of weight."
