Since that night, Liu Daiyan has been having the same dream every night. In the dream, it seems like she is in a pool, surrounded by water with a faint firelight on the surface and strange, plaintive sounds. In the beginning, there was nothing in the water, she was just floating in it. Gradually, she saw a wisp of black mist appearing in the water for no reason. Every night, the mist became thicker than the previous night, and its shape changed from a wisp to a mass. At some point, the mist seemed to be condensing and gradually took on the form of a baby. Liu Daiyan had an intuition that this was her child and she wanted to reach out to touch it, but she couldn't move, only able to swim around the baby in the water.
The dream did not show any new changes, but last night, Liu Daiyan suddenly heard a very familiar and hateful voice in her dream - "Sister~ Sister~". Liu Daiyan woke up instantly, drenched in cold sweat, and naturally did not notice that the baby, which had been motionless in the dream, suddenly opened its eyes at the last moment.
Liu Daiyan (trembling in fear): " Liu Daiyu... Liu Daiyu... Liu Daiyu..."
This day was destined to be restless. Before the hour of the Rabbit had arrived, the amniotic fluid had already broken, and the Lord's mansion was bustling early in the morning. Delivering messages, assisting in childbirth, patrolling the city. The Lord had long ago issued an order that the childbirth must go smoothly, otherwise everyone would be held accountable.
When the servant came to report, Jiang Duming had just recovered from a serious illness and was feeling weary. This time the pain was the most severe. He even thought that his chest was going to collapse and that his internal organs were going to be coughed up, as he vomited a lot of blood.
"River manager: "My lord, the lady is about to give birth."
Jiang Duming (coughing and short of breath): "I see, has the Wen Po arrived?"
River manager: "She's already here, the maidservants are all attending to her. The lord need not worry."
Jiang Duming (coughing and short of breath): "How is the funeral arrangement?"
River manager: "All the necessary items are ready, all according to the highest standards."
Jiang Duming (coughing and short of breath): "Good, once the child is born, release the news of the difficult childbirth and maternal hemorrhage, with both mother and child being lost."
River manager: "I understand."
That night, the bright red lightning brought vitality, but also nightmares. On one side, Liu Daiyan endured the pain of childbirth, while in the next room, Jiang Duming was once again struck by a sudden chest pain. Every painful moan from Liu Daiyan felt like a heavy blow to the center of the heart. If he could see, Jiang Duming would have felt that his heart had cracked, with the vitality inside slowly fading away.
Jiang Duming (gritting his teeth): "Jiang Suifeng... Liu Daiyu... everything will come to an end!"
One day and one night passed, the child was born, and Liu Daiyan died. When Jiang Duming was supported into the main room by the steward, the maidservants were all trembling, and if the Wen Po hadn't still been holding the child, she would have collapsed long ago. The lady of the house was dead, would they still have a way out?
River manager: "You all go down first."
Wen Po: "Yes."
Jiang Duming (holding his breath): "Child."
Wen Po (hurriedly handing over the child): "Congratulations, Lord, it's a girl."
Jiang Duming (taking the child): "You go down too."
River manager: "Lord, you..."
Jiang Duming: "It's okay, this matter must be settled by me."
River manager: "Yes." (Retreat)
The baby in the swaddle hasn't opened its eyes yet, with a pink and round chubby face, and its little mouth keeps pursing. Jiang Duming feels a tightness in his heart, looking very reluctant. But, when it comes to one's own fate, even the most difficult things to let go of can be let go. If you can't let go, how can you gain?
Jiang Duming's hand slowly covered the child's still indistinct neck, soft and tender like newly sprouted leaves. Just as he was about to exert force, the child, who had been quiet, suddenly opened its eyes, revealing two sharp teeth, which pierced straight into Jiang Duming's tiger mouth, crazily sucking up the fresh blood. Jiang Duming instantly felt the pain, too preoccupied to be frightened, instinctively wanting to shake off this blood-sucking monster. But the next moment, the child in the swaddle turned into a five or six-foot-long Black snake, tightly coiling around Jiang Duming's arm and accelerating its sucking speed. Jiang Duming was completely powerless to break free, watching helplessly as his body withered away until his last breath, unable to make any sound.
The sated Black snake didn't linger, releasing its grip and turning into a mass of black mist, which then entered Liu Daiyan's mouth. A strange thing happened: the long-dead Liu Daiyan began to move its joints from bottom to top, and its complexion quickly became full and rosy. When she sat up, apart from her body remaining in a deathly cold stillness, her entire being was no different from an ordinary person. She was alive!
In the moment when he locked eyes with those cold and malicious pupils, Jiang Duming recognized who had come back to life.
Liu Daiyu (cold and hateful): "Jiang Duming, have you ever thought about the consequences today? She has already paid the price, and now it's your turn. You won't die, I won't kill you. You will live well and atone for your sins!"
Liu Daiyu struck a black mist at the location of Jiang Duming's heart, and his withered body returned to its original state, even more youthful and handsome. The black mist lingering in his veins would constantly torment Jiang Duming, causing excruciating pain. As long as Liu Daiyu was alive, the black mist would not disappear, and Jiang Duming would remain alive.
The Lord's Mansion that day was eerily quiet, and no one outside knew what had happened. The people of Ming Water City only heard that the lord had been seriously ill for a long time, and his poor health had affected his children, leading to the death of the newborn. As a result, the lord's illness worsened, and he had to rest in seclusion, leaving all the affairs inside and outside Ming Water City to his wife. When this news spread, various forces that had been lying low for years began to mobilize, all wanting to take a piece of Ming Water City. However, they either suffered setbacks or encountered ambushes, resulting in countless casualties. After a few attempts, there was no further movement.
Ming Water City Both inside and outside are worry-free, and the people's lives are as peaceful as ever. Only the ruins of the Li's family that are buried in the sand and the newly built solitary tomb in the Muxi s outside the city, as well as the spirit tablet enshrined in the Li's family ancestral hall, are reminding Liu Daiyu that this revenge drama has not yet come to a complete end.
(Inside a bustling and noisy tavern in the city)
Pedestrian A: "Hey, have you heard? Qin Xiang House has reopened!"
Pedestrian B: "What's the big deal? We've all been there before."
Pedestrian A (smirking): "You don't know everything. Qin Xiang House just hired a new person, called Sleeping Beauty, they say it's a lot of fun!"
Passerby B: "Sleeping Beauty? (lecherous) What kind of girl is she?"
Passerby A (lowering his voice): "Not a girl."
Passerby B (surprised): "Not a girl!? Then she is..."
Passerby A: "He's a little rascal! I heard his body is even softer than a girl's, can eat all kinds of delicacies, and his firm buttocks are incredibly smooth and slippery when rubbed... (with a satisfied expression) Tsk tsk tsk... And also..."
Passerby B (excited): "And also what?"
Passerby A: "And also, when he's passionate, a rosy color appears on his skin, very delicate and charming, even more enticing than a girl!"
Passerby B: "Really?"
Passerby A: "Absolutely true, as true as true gold, it's a well-founded rumor."
Passerby B: "Sleeping Beauty, is also a little guy, he must be very handsome!"
Passerby A: "I don't know what it looks like, but they say it's covered with soft gauze on the face."
Passerby B: "Oh, probably ashamed to be seen in this line of work, but hey, it must be quite enjoyable to play! Hahaha!"
Passerby A: "Exactly, I really want to give it a try!"
Passerby B: "The two of us Shall we go for a walk tonight?"
Passerby A: "Can't go, it costs a hundred gold for one night! I don't have that much money."
Passerby B: "So expensive!? What a pity, what a pity! But it makes me want to taste that little guy even more! (lewd laughter)"
I haven't seen the river for three or four days, the willows by the bridge have turned into golden threads.
The south bank and the north bank are connected by a ferry, with rain and mist on the branches.
