With his brown eyes and a complexion that looked like he’d been dead for three days, people in the capital secretly called him a “eunuch ghost,” a testament to the human talent for coming up with nicknames.
But he had deceived them all.
In her previous life, the emperor was seriously ill, and the struggle for the throne had reached a bloody stage.
Because of the knife-like gaze Lan Huaiyu had shot her at the palace banquet, she became wary and began to focus on investigating which prince this powerful eunuch was supporting.
But she didn’t know until she investigated, and she was shocked by what she found.
He had a deeply hidden secret!
In the Wutong Alley in the southern part of the city, there was a two-courtyard house, purchased in the name of Qingfeng, and an older woman lived inside.
According to the investigation, the woman’s name was unknown, and she was not registered with the government, making her an illegal resident.
She had an ordinary appearance but was diligent and efficient.
More importantly, there was also a five- or six-year-old boy, and this boy’s appearance was actually five parts similar to Lan Huaiyu.
The investigators heard the boy call the woman “Mother,” indicating that they were a biological mother and son.
The boy’s father… should be Lan Huaiyu, he was a fake eunuch.
With his big secret in her hands, Fengshi’s path to seizing the throne was naturally smoother. If Lan Huaiyu interfered, she would use this to threaten him.
But in the end, he really didn’t stop him. He even contributed to Fengshi’s death three days after ascending the throne, and to her becoming the Empress Dowager after his young son ascended the throne.
Looking at the girl’s calm and serene appearance, Lan Huaiyu’s brown eyes moved slightly, “I heard you’re an expert.”
A high-level expert!
She not only admitted it but also raised herself a level.
Lan Huaiyu was originally doubtful and even somewhat wary, but at this time a faint smile appeared in his eyes.
If you, this high-level expert, wanted to escape, it should be easy, why didn’t you escape? And obediently married this eunuch?
Because I have a vendetta to avenge. Eunuch, don’t ask what the vendetta is, it definitely has nothing to do with you.
The girl was frank, her eyes clear and without any concealment.
Lan Huaiyu had seen too many liars in this world, and some people believed their own lies as they told them.
But this girl… he felt that she was not lying.
What about after you avenge your vendetta?
She blinked her eyes, It’s early yet, I plan to torment them for a few more years, making them wish they were dead, only then can I relieve the hatred in my heart.
Good. I had already thought about making a contract with you. You probably know about the marriage for good luck. Whether it succeeds or not, you will live by my side in the name of husband and wife for seven years. After seven years, I will set you free and give you a mansion in the most expensive area of the capital, enough gold for you to squander for three lifetimes, and three villas in the suburbs with beautiful scenery. What do you think?
Chu Zhiyi’s red lips parted slightly. At this time, she only thought, if Chu Miaomiao knew that she had missed so much in her previous life, would she be so angry that she would spit blood and die again?
See, Lan Huaiyu was just such a person.
You think he’s cold, cruel, and arrogant, but in reality, as long as you treat him honestly, he’s tolerant and generous.
Okay, she agreed.
Seeing her agree so readily, Lan Huaiyu also breathed a sigh of relief, During these seven years, everything in the mansion will be the same as the treatment of the legal wives of the nobles in the capital. You will not be treated harshly in terms of food, clothing, and expenses. If you want anything, just order it, and inform the housekeeper if it’s more than ten thousand taels of silver.
Chu Zhiyi once again refreshed her understanding of Lan Huaiyu’s generosity.
Eunuch, don’t worry, I will do my part as a mascot.
She didn’t believe in marrying for good luck. She believed that Lan Huaiyu’s flamboyant marriage was to cover up the mother and son in Wutong Alley.
In that case, she would do her part, and he was generous, and she was not stingy either, she would be a good mascot and shield.
Mascot?
That adjective was quite novel.
Looking at the girl’s straightforward appearance, Lan Huaiyu couldn’t help but smile. So unrestrained，this filthy capital really didn’t deserve her.
He heard that she had just returned from the border countryside less than half a month ago, and after recognizing her biological parents, she probably hadn’t had time to enjoy a happy family.
So he said, There are no restrictions on your freedom in this mansion, you can go back to the Chu family at any time.
Eunuch is so understanding.
She was going to go back and stir things up at any time anyway.
By the way, because the high monk told me that you and I must stay in the same room at night if we want to have a good luck, so I will have to spend the night here in the future.
?
Chu Zhiyi recalled, she hadn’t heard that Lan Huaiyu lived with Chu Miaomiao?
It was said that she was locked in a courtyard in the backyard of the eunuch’s mansion, and even the dogs were freer than her, and Lan Huaiyu had never set foot in the backyard.
How come she had to stay in the same room with him?
I will stay on the couch, you don’t need to worry.
Okay.
Knowing that he had someone he loved in his heart, he would definitely not have any physical involvement with her.
Besides, if he really wanted to involve her, she wasn’t a vegetarian either, she could easily crush his egg yolk.
Just like in her previous life when she married Fengshi, he entered the new house with a horsewhip and wanted to beat her, but she tied him up and whipped him all night with that horsewhip.
The next morning, he begged for mercy and ran out, and then called a bunch of guards to catch her.
Then she caught a bunch of guards, including him, again, tied them up, and whipped them for another day, and only then did he become as honest as a chicken and never dared to do it again!
With a screen as a barrier, it was divided into two spaces.
After Chu Zhiyi finished washing and changing in the bathroom, she moved behind the screen. The bedding was soft and fragrant, and the materials were all first-class.
Listening to Lan Huaiyu resting on the soft couch, she still didn’t think he believed in the saying of marrying for good luck.
He had to stay in the same room with her, probably to show the outside world a false image that he cared about his wife, and then better hide his beloved woman and child.
Counting the days, his child hadn’t been born yet, but that woman must have been hidden in Wutong Alley.
True love!
First Prince’s Mansion.
It was no longer as noble and prosperous as when Fengshi was the Crown Prince. There were few people on duty at night, scattered everywhere.
A small courtyard was decorated with colorful hangings, and moans of pain came from the dimly lit room.
Chen Mama, Xialian, and other dowry attendants outside were also shivering. The deposed Crown Prince came when night fell.
He came with a horsewhip.
After that, there were sounds of whips and painful screams in the room, and what was happening was self-evident.
Chu Miaomiao’s snow-white arms were tied tightly to the bedposts with a belt, and her naked body was curled up, with red marks crisscrossing and showing traces of blood.
Fengshi opened his clothes, his eyes red and increasingly excited, and he whipped her especially skillfully, all over her body, with horizontal and vertical intersections, neat and tidy, satisfying his obsessive-compulsive disorder.
With another whip, Chu Miaomiao screamed and bit her lip tightly.
She didn’t know that Fengshi was such a pervert, even more twisted than the eunuch Lan Huaiyu.
But when she thought that he would be the emperor in the future, and she could be the empress and empress dowager, she could endure the physical pain she was suffering now.
Besides, Chu Zhiyi must have endured it like this in her previous life, if she could endure it, why couldn’t she?
Thinking of the peak of her life in the future, she gritted her teeth and persevered.
When this pervert ascends the throne and dies violently three days later, she will grind his bones to ashes!
