Accidentally Married Miss Empress

Dai Ruyan held Gong Yu tightly and refused to let go, as if the sound of breathing was suppressed a lot. Gong Yu listened to the thumping heartbeat and asked, "What happened?"

"Mother is crazy, she is driven crazy." Dai Ruyan muttered as she pressed her face against Gong Yu's cheek, "There are bad people who eat people but not bones in Dai's old house in Changzhou."

"What bad guy?"

"Shh! Be quiet, you'll be discovered by them."

Gong Yu stared at Dai Ruyan's wanting face and responded, "Okay, I won't talk, you can tell me slowly."

Dai Ruyan caressed Gong Yu's face lightly with her palm, her eyes seemed to be empty and staring at Gong Yu and muttered, "Don't be afraid, I will tell you everything."

The hall was silent and silent, and even the candles in the palace lanterns on the side were very quiet. Only the wind and snow outside the window blew, as if everything was about to be opened, and even Dai Ruyan's thoughts drifted away a little bit. It seems to be returning to the old house of Dai's family in Changzhou.

The Dai clan is the first family in the palace country, and Changzhou has almost become the territory of the Dai clan.

But Dai's daughters have an unfamiliar rule, they don't show up until they are twelve years old, and they don't enter the capital until they are twelve years old.

The pregnant Mrs. Qingji was sent to Changzhou Dai's old house overnight. When a baby girl was born, the Dai's old house was busy.

The mother and baby were given the name Ruyan by Dai's grandmother. They were literate and read at the age of three, and were very intelligent since childhood.

But Mrs. Qingji had a strange illness, and she often yelled and laughed like crazy at night. The maids and servants in the backyard of the Dai family's old house were known to everyone, but they didn't dare to say a word.

There is a women's school in Dai's old house, and there is only a nanny invited by Dai's grandmother, who specializes in teaching piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and Dai's grandmother often appears on the side to check her homework.

In the painting and calligraphy of chess and chess, Dai Ruyan is the best at chess, especially his grandmother is quite impressed by the strange changes in chess.

In the early morning, Ruyan rushed to the small attic to greet Mrs. Qingji. The maids pushed open the door and walked inside on behalf of Ruyan with her back straight. They saw her mother holding a pearl hairpin with blood dripping from her head, her face full of smiles. Called: "Yan'er, come here."

Although the young Dai Ruyan didn't know why her mother stayed in this small attic with only narrow windows for ventilation.

But the servants in the mansion were all talking about the mother suffering from madness and went mad.

Dai Ruyan stepped forward hesitantly, and raised her head slightly to meet her mother. The hand hidden in the sleeve robe was dripping with blood, and the thick blood lingered in the small compartment.

Why would a mother want to hurt herself?

"Mother, you are hurt."

"Yan Er is good, mother is fine, I heard that you were praised by your grandmother today."

Dai Ruyan was not completely ignorant of the rumors about the mansion, and even felt that her mother was very afraid of her grandmother, and even a little bit hateful.

But the young Dai Ruyan didn't feel the same about the word hate, but he had seen this word in a book, but he couldn't understand why his mother hated his grandmother.

Dai Ruyan looked at her mother, who had been heavily powdered, and replied, "Well, grandmother praises Yan'er for being smart."

The mother's eyes were full of smiles, but her face looked terrifying, and the strength of holding Dai Ruyan's wrist was much heavier.

"Mother, I hurt." Dai Ruyan called out in pain.

"Don't shout!" Mother scolded Dai Ruyan with red eyes.

The young Dai Ruyan looked at her mother who seemed to have changed in front of her. She couldn't help but want to escape in fear, but she was caught tightly and couldn't move.

Just now, the mother was still full of viciousness, and suddenly burst into tears and hugged the young Dai Ruyan, hot tears fell on the side of Dai Ruyan's face.

"What's wrong with you, mother?" The young Dai Ruyan thought it was because she bumped into her mother and stopped crying.

The mother smiled and said, "Yan Er is good, study hard, and you will be able to bring your mother back to the capital in the future, do you know?"

"Um."

capital?

In fact, the young Dai Ruyan didn't even know where the capital was at all, and even the father he called him had only seen him once from a distance.

Every time her grandmother's poems, books, and chess skills were inspected, Dai Ruyan had to review all her homework early.

The laughter that often came from the garden outside the window made Dai Ruyan a little scared. The person who smiled brightly was the aunt, and the person Dai Ruyan was most afraid of besides her grandmother.

Grandmother often asked Dai Ruyan to play chess with her aunt, who was so skilled at chess that she was even ashamed of her teacher.

If he wins this chess game, Dai Ruyan can eat at the table, and if he loses, he can only starve in the study.

Of course, if it was just starvation, the young Dai Ruyan would not feel terrible.

The grandmother closed her eyes and rested herself, thinking about the chess game on behalf of Ruyan, and put down the white chess with her small hand.

Auntie's quick move almost never gave Dai Ruyan a chance to think.

At first, Dai Ruyan also often lost, but gradually Dai Ruyan discovered the flaws in her aunt's chess game. Once, after the second and third times, her aunt's chess game was broken one by one by Dai Ruyan.

When the rain stopped outside the window, Auntie slowed down while holding the chess piece, showing displeasure between her brows, and was reluctant to make another move.

The grandmother on the side took a sip of tea and said, "It's over today, you can go and receive the punishment."

Auntie put down the chess piece, seemed to be trembling, lowered her head and responded, "Yes, mother."

Dai Ruyan put down the chess piece that was tightly in her hand, and her face was still stained with sweat, and saw her aunt leave without looking back.

After lunch, Dai Ruyan had a short time to wander around the garden. This was the only chance she didn't have to stay in the room.

The aunt was talking and laughing with the maids, and she caught a glimpse of Dai Ruyan's attention to a bright flower that was blooming, and the flower was suddenly broken.

"Ayan likes this flower?" Auntie asked with a condescending smile.

Dai Ruyan looked at her aunt with some fear and replied, "En."

In the next second, the flower was crushed in the palm of my aunt's hand, and the bright flower juice dripped down the palm of the hand onto the clean ground, like blood.

"Oh, what should I do if my aunt accidentally pushes too hard?" My aunt stretched out her hand and put it lightly on Dai Ruyan's shoulder, revealing the blue-purple print on her arm, and the bright flower juice was stained on Dai Ruyan's light yellow dress. very.

The immobile Dai Ruyan blinked and replied, "It's okay, there are still many beautiful flowers in the garden."

Auntie shook her head and said, "You can't touch those flowers."

"Does Ayan know why?"

Although the young Dai Ruyan didn't know that people's hearts were sinister, the strength of pinching Dai Ruyan painfully was enough to warn Dai Ruyan that her aunt was as scary as her mother.

"I have no idea."

"Because, if A-Yan wins the aunt's game next time, aunt will be angry and burn the flowers that A-Yan likes."

Dai Ruyan blinked and asked puzzled, "Why?"

Auntie was still smiling happily, but in those eyes she whispered intimidatingly, "Look at the little girls over there, they can replace Ayan at any time."

"If Auntie is not happy, she can also keep Ayan locked in a small attic like her mother, and she will never be released."

This is the real look of my aunt who loves to laugh the most on weekdays.

Dai Ruyan looked at the group of girls who were similar to her, but she wasn't particularly afraid, because she understood that her grandmother was more powerful than her aunt. As long as her grandmother was happy, everything would be fine.

Just why is the mother locked in the small attic?

The pure Dai Ruyan wanted her mother to come out of the small attic, so she was willing to work hard to complete any homework given by her grandmother.

Until Dai Ruyan beat her aunt again in the chess game, her grandmother was very happy and even gave Dai Ruyan a pair of jade pendants.

This jade pendant is a symbol of Dai's dignity. Dai Ruyan held the jade pendant and asked her grandmother hesitantly to ask her mother to move out of the small attic.

The grandmother smiled, put down the tea cup in her hand and replied, "Okay, Yan'er will play a game of chess with her grandmother. If you win, then agree to Yan'er, how about it?"

"Um."

This chess game was more difficult than Dai Ruyan imagined, until late at night, looking at the chess game, Dai Ruyan had to put down the white chess in her hand in despair.

"Yan'er, don't be discouraged." Grandmother was still smiling, but the next second, the door and window were closed.

Mother was in the cubicle next to her, Dai Ruyan watched blankly, only to see her grandmother pick up the cane beside her and walk to her mother.

Dai Ruyan watched the crutches hit her mother like a puppet, and her grandmother said with a smile: "To ask Yan'er to intercede for you, **** it!"

The heavy muffled sound seemed to hit Dai Ruyan, and the servants all around just bowed their heads in silence, and no one dared to speak.

Among the rumors circulating in Dai's old house, no one ever told Dai Ruyan that her grandmother was so fond of torturing others.

Blood flowed in front of Dai Ruyan, like the flower juice that was damaged by her aunt and pinched in the palm of her hand. Her mother fell on the last breath, and her grandmother stopped just now. She looked sideways at the young Dai Ruyan and said with a smile, "Yan'er come here."

Before Dai Ruyan could react, the mother-in-law on both sides already carried Dai Ruyan and moved to the grandmother.

"The following crimes deserve such punishment, does Yan'er know?"

The grandmother took off the rosary, which she often held in her hand, and handed it to the woman beside her. Dai Ruyan was stuffed with a towel in her mouth. She could not move as she watched the rosary quickly swell up on her arm, which was exactly the same as the scar on her aunt's arm.

The pain made Dai Ruyan choked silently and tried to ask for help, but no one could make a sound, and even the mother who had woken up beside her just shrank in the corner in fear.

When the curtain shook lightly, Dai Ruyan saw the aunt who was hiding behind her with a bright smile on her face.

From then on, the descendant Ruyan was locked in a small attic with her mother.

The attic with the closed window was pitch-dark, and the pain made Dai Ruyan sleepless all night, but the mother beside her sometimes laughed, sometimes scolded and yelled all night, and even strangled Dai Ruyan's neck from time to time, as if she really wanted to kill her. She can't.

"Useless thing!" The mother kept talking like this, as if she wanted to cast all her anger on Dai Ruyan.

I don't remember when I was able to come out of the small attic, Dai Ruyan squinted slightly at the dazzling light outside, and some did not recover, but the whole person was already thin and inhuman.

The grandmother sat in the chair drinking tea and said, "Do you know what's wrong?"

At this time, Dai Ruyan realized that in this big old house of the Dai family, only obedience can survive, and she replied in a low voice, "Yan'er knows it's wrong."

When the small attic on the other side was quietly closed, Dai Ruyan turned her head to look at the mother who was still locked in it, as if she was holding a thin person in her arms, and Dai Ruyan was not surprised at all.

Studying the homework assigned by my grandmother as usual, and being checked by my mother every month, it seems that everything is back to the nightmarish way it was the night before.

Aunt still likes to torture the servant girl beside her, so Dai Ruyan spends all day in her study in order to avoid trouble.

In the winter, when it snowed heavily in Changzhou, the snow fell crisply on the roof tiles, tick-t-tick, thinking, on behalf of Ruyan, went to the small attic to visit her mother in the name of her grandmother.

At that time, the maid outside was nibbling melon seeds around the fire, and when she saw Dai Ruyan coming, she opened the door unhurriedly.

Dai Ruyan entered with her coat in her hand. The small attic was very dark, even cold like an ice hole.

"Why didn't you set up a charcoal basin?" Dai Ruyan asked the two maids.

Obviously, the charcoal basin beside the two maids should be set up in this small attic.

When the charcoal basin was moved into the small attic, the maid lit the candlestick, and Dai Ruyan just saw her mother shivering in the corner.

The old wooden boards squeaked from the branches, or because they had not seen sunlight for many years, they had a rancid smell.

As Dai Ruyan approached, she suddenly stepped into a big dream, and she couldn't tell whether she had never been out of the small attic.

This small attic seemed to be the safest place in the entire Dai family's old house. He put his coat aside and called softly, "Mother?"

"Shh! Your sister just fell asleep." Mrs. Qingji glared at Dai Ruyan, and then hummed softly.

This was the first time Dai Ruyan saw her younger sister was weak and helpless, just like her who was in so much pain all night but didn't dare to call her.

It snowed heavily under the ground, and until the spring day was getting warmer, the snow fell down the eaves with a tick.

Dai Ruyan stretched out her hand to catch the falling snow, and the icy snow made her entire palm turn red.

Looking at the little girls on the other side, there will be a test every spring.

They only have one chance to overthrow Dai Ruyan, but Dai Ruyan has three chances, and once they fail, their traces of existence will be erased.

When the curtain was suddenly lifted, Auntie was holding the ring ruler and looked casually towards this direction and smiled, "Ayan can't be careless today."

Because of aunt's secret mischief, Ruyan has also been unprepared in recent years, so this is the last chance left.

Dai Ruyan blinked lightly, followed with a smile and replied, "Thank you aunt for worrying."

In the past, Dai Ruyan would still be confused as to why her aunt was targeting her like this, but the longer she stayed in Dai Ruyan's house, the more Dai Ruyan understood that torturing others was just a pleasure for her aunt.

When the test was over, Dai Ruyan got up and saw that the little girls were covered with black cloth and led out of the courtyard.

The aunt tapped the ruler and sighed, "Ayan is getting less and less fun."

The stinging pain hidden in the palm of the hand reminded Dai Ruyan that this ruler should be smeared with something else.

When alone in the study, Dai Ruyan looked at the pustules on her hands and carefully smeared ointment to bandage the wound.

The mother's illness became more and more serious in the middle of the night, and the younger sister in the small attic was easily afraid, so Dai Ruyan often went to accompany her.

When the spring thunder sounded, Dai Ruyan shrank in the corner of the small attic, stretching out her arms to protect the skinny little sister.

The mother on the other side was walking in the small attic with scissors in hand, sometimes screaming in pain, sometimes laughing, as if it was really like a rumor in the Dai family's old house, her mother was crazy.

But everyone knew that her mother was driven crazy, but no one dared to speak out.

Dai Ruyan clearly understood that in this mansion, no one dared to disobey her grandmother's orders. That day, she was severely punished because she offended her grandmother.

You can only return to the capital when you are twelve years old, and the aunt has never been to the capital because of one incident.

Even the grandmother didn't notice this incident, but Dai Ruyan accidentally discovered that her aunt was in a private meeting with the same man.

That man was the grandmother who invited him into the mansion to teach, Liang An.

He is a man of literary talent and fame, but his aunt is inexplicably entangled with him.

If the grandmother knew about this, she would be severely punished, but Dai Ruyan didn't do anything, just watched quietly, and even added fuel to the flames.

Until the father came to welcome the aunt back to the capital, Dai Ruyan quietly arranged for two maids to follow the aunt to the capital.

It was only when I learned that my aunt wanted to flee with Liang An, Dai Ruyan let someone release the news, and even sent a letter to Liang An.

There was nothing else in the letter, just telling him what his aunt had done in the past and telling him that word had leaked out.

This Liang An is a smart person, he faked his death to trick the Dai clan, and even left the capital.

Dai Ruyan finally stretched her brows and smiled when she heard that the aunt with a bright smile in the past did not eat or drink like she was crazy.

The reason why she was severely punished by her grandmother that year was because her aunt secretly added a lot of rumors.

Without her aunt in Dai's old house, Dai Ruyan's life has become much more monotonous.

When the flowers in the garden were at their brightest, Dai Ruyan would have people break them and crush them to make rouge. When the bright flower juice dripped into the bottle, it was just like the flower juice that was crushed in the palm of the aunt's hand, which was bright and dazzling. very.

I don't remember when Ruyan found out that the tonic she took every day seemed a little wrong.

The old woman who was in charge had a very fine-looking eye, and when Dai Ruyan took the decoction, she would let Dai Ruyan open her mouth to check, and just then she died with her grandmother.

Or as he grew taller, the maid beside him became more and more respectful, and Dai Ruyan liked this feeling very much.

I just didn't expect that the maids would often have scars on their bodies. Dai Ruyan didn't like to punish the disobedient maids in a stupid way like an aunt.

The grandmother rushed to the capital because of her aunt, and no one in this old house could stop Dai Ruyan.

Dai Ruyan entered the small attic with the cake in her hand, and her mother looked in this direction and said, "Sister, she has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Something's delayed."

When the spring was bright outside, Dai Ruyan had someone torn down the sealed attic, and it was much brighter inside.

The younger sister hid in Dai Ruyan's arms, as if she was afraid of light, so Dai Ruyan let her pull her clothes, stretched out her hand to hold the cake and asked, "Want to try it?"

The mother on the side looked pale, as if there was no difference between ordinary people.

Dai Ruyan poured tea and looked at her sister who was stuffing cakes into her mouth, reached out and stroked her cheek with a smile: "Eat slowly, don't choke."

When I go to the capital in the future, maybe my mother's illness will slowly get better.

As long as she escapes from Changzhou, without the bullying of her grandmother, her mother will definitely get better, Dai Ruyan thought with hope.

But he didn't expect the appearance of his father, breaking Dai Ruyan's only hope.

When my father and grandmother returned to Changzhou, the weather was sunny that day, and my mother was wearing a bright and dazzling dress and exquisite makeup, but her eyes were dull.

Dai Ruyan looked a little at the father who was called the Prime Minister, but he never looked at Dai Ruyan.

The same is true for serving tea and meals, the only difference is that the mother was brought into a garden by the father.

Dai Ruyan had not seen her mother for several days after that, and was not even allowed to see her.

Until one day and night, her mother suddenly ran out of the garden, Dai Ruyan saw her father pulling her mother's hair back to the garden with her own eyes, and the servants and maids on the way turned a blind eye.

It was as if Dai Ruyan, who was stunned outside the stone pavilion, listened to her mother crying until dawn.

After her father left, Dai Ruyan looked at her mother who was huddled in the corner, holding scissors. For the first time in her life, she wondered the difference between living and dying.

Even if we leave Changzhou, the capital will only be a deeper cliff. My father will not be a sunshade, but is very cowardly and afraid of my grandmother.

Sure enough, no one in this world can rely on it.

Dai Ruyan was bathed in some scorching sunlight, humming a little tune that her mother often hummed, and chuckling as if she had figured it out, making it impossible for others to guess how real or fake this smile was.

Grandmother loves to laugh, aunt loves to laugh, and even mother is still smiling even though she is suffering in pain.

My mother's condition was getting worse day by day, just when everyone was used to it.

A black cat inadvertently broke into the garden, Dai Ruyan asked her to be caught and domesticated for half a month and given to her sister in the small attic to relieve her boredom.

One day, when I entered the small attic, the two maids were nowhere to be seen, and the tip of my nose was filled with the smell of thick blood.

Dai Ruyan frowned slightly, and when she got closer, she found that the black cat was covered in blood, but the sickly sister didn't care and hugged it tightly.

Turning back to the side, the two maids were already dead, and the blood dripped down the gaps of the wooden boards, and the maids should find them soon.

The mother still held the pearl hairpin in her hand, with dried blood on her head, and looked at Dai Ruyan with a smile in her eyes and said, "Yan'er..."

"What are you doing, mother?" Dai Ruyan stopped where she was, not daring to approach.

The sister holding the cat called happily, "Sister, are you here?"

Dai Ruyan was numb and didn't know how to react normally.

"The cat always sneaks out at night. My mother thought of a way to make the cat obedient."

The younger sister said it very seriously. Although her face was a little pale, she couldn't hide her bright eyes.

"Put it down, the cat is dead." Dai Ruyan tried to move forward.

"No!" The younger sister's eyes suddenly turned dangerous and glared at Dai Ruyan: "You can't take my cat away."

Dai Ruyan frowned for a while and said, "The cat in your hand is dead."

"Not dead, it will always be with me."

Such firm words made Dai Ruyan realize that her younger sister might also be crazy with her mother.

The bodies of the two maidservants were still lying on the side, but the younger sister and mother turned a blind eye.

Mother and sister are in danger if grandma finds out!

"Be obedient, throw it away!" Dai Ruyan stretched out her hand and pulled her sister up, and the black cat's corpse suddenly fell to the side.

The younger sister seemed to be stimulated, and she screamed frantically until Dai Ruyan's ears hurt badly.

The mother, who was holding the corner, suddenly pulled Dai Ruyan away fiercely and scolded: "You are crazy!"

Dai Ruyan took a few steps back, staring blankly at her mother and sister covered in blood, panicking for the first time.

Grandma knew it would kill people!

"Why did the mother kill them?" Dai Ruyan slowly approached and asked.

"Your sister said that these two maids bullied her." Mother guarded against Dai Ruyan who was approaching, and protected her sister with one hand.

"Sister, why don't you help me?" My sister complained.

"Help you?" Dai Ruyan held the pearl hairpin in her palm and approached, "Why didn't you tell me about the two maids?"

"Those two maids are bad people, so what if the mother killed them?"

I never thought that my sister, who has always been obedient and obedient, would say such a thing.

"Crazy, all of you are crazy." Dai Ruyan pushed her mother away, held her sister's hand in one hand and questioned, "I'll ask you again, why did you let your mother kill them?"

"Damn them."

"What about the cat?"

The younger sister blinked her eyes and responded to Ruyan on her behalf without fear: "Sister, you helped me kill the cat, have you forgotten?"

Dai Ruyan frowned slightly and said, "What?"

"Look at the amount of blood on your hands!" The younger sister said as if she was always joking with Dai Ruyan.

Looking at the palm of his hand following the words, Dai Ruyan did not see any blood, and even more annoyed, he pressed the pearl hairpin on his sister's neck and said, "You are crazy!"

"Sister..." The younger sister couldn't resist in pain, and whispered: "Sister, are you going to kill me?"

"Yes, kill you!"

Otherwise grandma will surely kill you too!

Dai Ruyan's eyes were flushed red, as if everything could not be seen or heard.

Until she fell into confusion, Dai Ruyan leaned against the wall tiredly, wet blood soaked her palms, as if there was only a little light left from the window in the entire cubicle.

When it was suddenly very noisy outside, the servants stopped outside and did not dare to leave. Dai Ruyan looked at the blood in the room, and in her arms was her sister who had no breath.

The mother seemed to be lost in thought, pulling her hair with her fingers, and muttered in pain, "Blood, a lot of blood!"

The door that was pushed open revealed a dazzling light outside, Dai Ruyan squinted slightly, looking at her grandmother and father outside, as if she was looking at flowers in the moon and mist.

Dai Ruyan collapsed tiredly, seeing her blood-covered self reflected in her mother's terrified eyes, she was still very calm, until she saw the black cat in her arms, and she panicked.

What about my sister?

The domestic servant and the neat-legged old woman who rushed in controlled Dai Ruyan, who was at a loss, and suddenly plunged into darkness in front of her eyes.

Is this a dream?

No, this is not a dream.

Dai Ruyan, who was imprisoned in the study, was not allowed to leave the study, nor was she allowed to go to the garden to bask in the sun.

Every day, Dai Ruyan is lying on the bed so lazily, thinking day after day, is it the little sister or the black cat who died?

The longer the time passed, the more blurred Dai Ruyan's memory became, and even the appearance of her initial younger sister began to be forgotten a little bit, but she vaguely remembered that she had a younger sister.

From the bright sun to the heavy snow in winter, the snow ticked down by the window, and Dai Ruyan buried her head in reading the books in this large study.

It seems that I can understand why my mother and sister are crazy.

However, it is recorded in the book that the disease of madness is like an evil spirit, and it needs to be burned at the stake in order to find peace in the house.

Dai Ruyan held the book in fear, and just realized that if she didn't deal with it properly, maybe her grandmother would deal with it together with herself.

Therefore, the person sent by the grandmother of the contemporary clan to investigate the situation, Dai Ruyan turned her head to look at the person who carefully explored, wearing a Taoist robe is more like an exorcism.

The terrified Dai Ruyan tried her best to look like an ordinary person, and was wary of those who approached.

He dealt with the people sent by his grandmother again and again, and even took all the medicines sent by his grandmother until he left the confined study room again.

It was already a bright summer day outside, Dai Ruyan squinted slightly, her eyes were full of smiles, she stretched out her hand to lightly block the scorching sunlight and said in a low voice, "I really don't want to be locked up anymore."

The maids on both sides lowered their heads in fear and did not dare to speak, as if Dai Ruyan had become someone who could not be mentioned in Dai's old house.

Dai Ruyan walked from the study to the small attic, where there were more maids than usual.

Stepping into the small attic, the inside was already clean and tidy, Dai Ruyan touched the candlestick lightly with her fingertips, holding the candlestick in her hand and walked towards her mother who was huddled inside.

"Don't come here!" the mother shouted in panic.

"Mother, are you ill?" Dai Ruyan smiled and approached, sat aside, stretched out her hand and pushed open the closed window to illuminate the dim little attic.

The light that suddenly fell in, and the half of Dai Ruyan's side face was particularly bright, and the two sat quietly, as if returning to that night of nightmares.

Dai Ruyan blinked lightly, looked at the gauze arm wrapped in her mother's hand, and said, "Is your mother still hurting herself?"

"Isn't it because you want to take revenge that you put all your anger on the black cat and the two maids?"

"You're crazy!" The mother looked at Dai Ruyan with red eyes and said, "I'm your mother, why did you report me to your grandmother?"

"I am alive to keep my mother alive, doesn't my mother understand?"

"What about your sister?"

"Sister, she is sick, I want her to rest for a while." Dai Ruyan blinked her eyes lightly, drinking tea and replied.

The mother frantically scattered the tea cups on the ground, her face was hideous, but she timidly stopped and muttered: "Your sister wants the cat to accompany her forever, so I will kill it, what's wrong with this? "

Dai Ruyan put down the tea cup, looked sideways at the small window, smiled and replied, "Mother, do you know where I buried that black cat?"

"what?"

"I heard that it's safest to hide your favorite things next to you, so bury the black cat in the garden together, and see your mother there."

Looking down the window in this small attic, I happened to see the pear blossom that was in full bloom. My mother looked at it in a trance, and suddenly smiled and said, "Well, the pear blossom is really beautiful."

Dai Ruyan drank the tea and replied, "Yes, I heard that the pear blossoms in the Daiyuan Garden in the capital are more beautiful."

"Yan Er, are you leaving your mother?"

"No, mother will also go to the capital, isn't she?"

My mother, who had never laughed before, smiled brilliantly twice that day.

It seems that because Dai Ruyan fulfilled her mother's expectations, her emotions gradually stabilized, and she didn't even mention her sister.

Until her mother fell asleep peacefully, Dai Ruyan smiled and looked at the small attic with indifference, as if the light from the small window was simply not enough to illuminate the small attic.

It was still dark in sight, Dai Ruyan reached out to close the window, and lightly pressed the candle wick with her fingertips. After the slight tingling, the fire suddenly went out.

This small attic seems to have become again, the small attic that Ye Dai Ruyan was thrown into.

As if being abandoned, Dai Ruyan laughed softly in the dark night, as if everything was over, and it seemed as if everything had just begun.

It was rare for Dai's old house to regain its tranquility. Lihua began to sit under the tree all day on behalf of Ruyan, and when it fell like white snow, Dai Ruyan returned to the study again.

Because of the grandmother's explanation, the maids did not dare to mention the little attic maid.

In order to cope with the doctor sent by her grandmother, Dai Ruyan even deliberately pretended to be overly frightened, and was restless all day.

At night, Dai Ruyan used to light the lights one by one, and then held the scissors to cut them out one by one.

Dai Ruyan, who was leaning against the corner alone, listened carefully to the unsettled sound in the house until the maids outside quietly left.

Dai Ruyan still couldn't sleep, because once he closed his eyes, he seemed to be able to see the blood that filled his eyes.

Often in the middle of the night, Dai Ruyan would be restless because of this, and even would not sleep all night.

It seemed that every time she fell asleep, she would dream of the **** scene, which made Dai Ruyan wonder again and again whether she was holding her sister or the black cat?

Did the mother kill the black cat, or did the younger sister kill it?

Or couldn't help being tired, and when Dai Ruyan fell asleep in a daze, he vaguely heard the sound of a cat meowing.

There seemed to be a light in front of her eyes, Dai Ruyan walked slowly along the light until she stepped into the small attic.

The mother held the black cat safely. Although the black cat was full of wounds, it was still alive.

When Dai Ruyan got closer, the mother holding the black cat suddenly said:

"Shh! Your sister doesn't have time to see you today."

Dai Ruyan looked around in confusion. Although it was very dark, he could still see clearly, and even felt a little cold.

But Dai Ruyan found herself unable to speak, is this a dream?

After a while, the door was opened, and the maid came in with the cold food.

The cat in the mother's arms jumped and came, and the maids kicked the cat with disgust and said, "This black cat is very evil!"

Dai Ruyan frowned slightly and wanted to make a sound, but found that she still couldn't make a sound, only to see the little sister hiding in the corner suddenly reaching out and hugging the kicked black cat.

It was so dark that Dai Ruyan couldn't see clearly, but her mother was accustomed to talking to her sister: "Come on, let's eat some."

The younger sister ate the cold porridge obediently, everything seemed to be in harmony, Dai Ruyan watched quietly, and she couldn't help but feel happy.

Until the mother held the pearl hairpin and scratched her arm again and again and the blood flowed down the face, it seemed that the happier her face was. These scenes were strange and scary.

But the younger sister was still eating as if she hadn't seen it. The mother's self-mutilation behavior aroused the dissatisfaction of the maid who came in to clean up the dishes: "Crazy woman, you have to trouble me to clean up again!"

As soon as these words came out, the mother suddenly went crazy and stabbed the nearby servant girl. The younger sister sat silently by the side with a smile on the corner of her mouth. She got up and walked to the door that had not been closed, and looked at another servant girl who was knocking melon seeds. Lightly waved.

The servant girl got up impatiently and approached the small attic. The mother reached out and grabbed the servant girl and walked inside.

Like a stranger, the younger sister reached out to close the door, and even helped her mother find a handkerchief and stuff it into the mouths of the two maids.

In such a scene, as if the grandmother abused the mother at the time, the younger sister smiled and looked at the mother and said, "Is the mother happy like this?"

"Yeah." The mother, whose face was stained with blood, responded, but the hand holding the pearl hairpin never stopped.

It was only then that Dai Ruyan understood why there were so many scars on the black cat.

Mothers will also abuse the weak and helpless, even more serious each time.

When the two maids were dying, the mother stopped in a daze as if she had no fun.

The younger sister on the side was eating cold porridge, and the black cat seemed to be calling uneasy, which seemed a little too noisy in this hall.

Sure enough, the mother suddenly reached out and hugged the black cat, her eyes twinkling, as if she didn't know what she said to her sister, and the two reached an agreement.

Dai Ruyan watched the black cat lose its breath in a daze, and her mother handed it to her sister like a gift wrapped in a gift.

The younger sister smiled and hugged the black cat, as if she didn't notice anything wrong here.

The picture seemed to stop at this point, Dai Ruyan didn't wait for her to come, as if what she thought was going to happen before has never happened.

Until the servants suddenly knocked open the door of the small attic, it was very bright outside, and when Dai Ruyan was dizzy, when he opened his eyes again, he only saw the black cat in his arms, his hands were full of blood, and his mother was gentle. Looking at him, he said, "This is a gift from my mother to Yan'er."

When the voice sounded clearly in his ears, he pulled Dai Ruyan back to the small attic. The servants looked at him in horror, while he was hugging the black cat covered in blood, and his mother was still crazy.

When panic and panic surged over her head, Dai Ruyan was on the verge of collapse, why did she hold the black cat?

Why did the servants look at themselves holding the black cat?

Why did the grandmother later let people lock herself in the study?
