Jiang Duming (angrily): "What's going on here!"
Jiang Duming had barely been asleep for half an hour when the steward hurriedly reported that the girl from The romantic history of a wretched sea. had been mysteriously poisoned, with no one spared. Jiang Duming didn't even care about his own fatigue, he put on his clothes and followed the pillar to The romantic history of a wretched sea.. What met his eyes was a neatly arranged row of sickly bodies, which made his eyebrows jump and filled him with inexplicable anger.
River manager: "I found the girls unconscious and bleeding from seven orifices while patrolling at night."
Jiang Duming: "Have you investigated if someone poisoned them?"
River manager: "Except for when you, my lord, visited a few days ago, no one has been to the manor, and pillar had The romantic history of a wretched sea. searched thoroughly, but there were no suspicious traces."
Jiang Duming: "So it must have been someone from within our own ranks?"
River manager: "My lord, everyone's lives and livelihoods are tied to the manor. I have been with you for nearly ten years and would never engage in such behavior. However, this situation is indeed peculiar."
Liu Daiyu: "What's the mystery?"
Jiang Duming: "Why is the madam here? (reprimanding the guards) Why didn't you inform me when the madam arrived!"
Liu Daiyu: "No need to reprimand them, I asked them to bring me in directly. What, am I not allowed to come?"
Jiang Duming: "What's the matter? My wife and I are one, there's nowhere my wife can't go. But how did you come? It's so late, and you're still pregnant!"
Liu Daiyu (crouching down to look): "A servant was returning to the mansion to deliver something for me, and happened to run into you rushing out anxiously, probably because something important happened, so they came to report to me."
Jiang Duming: "Can you tell what happened?"
Liu Daiyu: "No need to check, it should be dried by Jiang Suifeng."
Jiang Duming: "Didn't he enter the Blood Curse Formation?"
Liu Daiyu: "Exactly because of that."
Jiang Duming: (Silent and doubtful)
Liu Daiyu: "If I'm not mistaken, all these girls have been tainted by your good brother. Blood curse is a poison curse. Intimacy between men and women will spread the curse. Jiang Suifeng has entered the Blood Curse Formation, and his vitality will become weaker and weaker. These girls will also have reactions, looking like they have been poisoned, and will undoubtedly die in the end." (Waves her sleeve, and black-purple mist rises from the female corpse) "Look! It seems your brother really hates you!"
Jiang Duming: "Is there a remedy?"
Liu Daiyu: "It's too late. We might as well just give them a quick and painless end."
Jiang Duming: "What about pillar?"
pillar (heard from outside, hurries in): "I'm here, master. What are your orders?"
Jiang Duming: "Buried them all in a remote forest."
pillar: "All of them!?"
Jiang Duming: "Yes, buried alive." (Glances coldly)
pillar: "Yes, I will arrange it right away."
pillar got up to leave, but froze upon seeing Liu Daiyu's face. The words "Sleeping Beauty" almost slipped out, but he forcefully suppressed them and quickly redirected his puzzled gaze to attend to his tasks.
Liu Daiyu (holding Jiang Duming's hand): "Let's go, it's late. Let's rest in the manor today."
Looking at his hand being held, Jiang Duming's previous unwillingness and anger vanished in an instant, and his heart calmed down. He couldn't help but size up Liu Daiyu's figure. Compared to Liu Daiyan, the two sisters had the same appearance but different temperaments. It could only be said that Liu Daiyu had been pampered since childhood, and her innate elegance and grace were something Liu Daiyan could never learn. For a moment, Jiang Duming even felt that Liu Daiyu had developed feelings for him. However, he never believed in sincerity, and he never would in this lifetime. If Liu Daiyu really liked him, there was no need to spend too much effort thinking about how to handle her.
Jiang Duming is really tired. He fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow. Liu Daiyu sat quietly at the edge of the bed, watching the man sleeping in front of her. Judging by the time, pillar should have finished his business already.
【Two knocks on the door】
pillar: "Master."
Liu Daiyu: (lightly opens the door)
pillar: "Master... Oh, Madam, the tasks assigned by the master have been completed."
Liu Daiyu: "Who might we encounter?"
pillar: "Madam, rest assured."
Liu Daiyu: "Hmm, you may leave."
Before leaving, pillar took a quick glance as the door was closing, and couldn't help but feel that the lady resembled the missing Sleeping Beauty, but that couldn't be possible!
After turning off the lights, Liu Daiyu finally went to bed. After a while, Jiang Duming opened his eyes, glanced at Liu Daiyu, and then truly relaxed and fell asleep. However, he missed the slight upturn of her mouth. A wisp of black mist drifted from Liu Daiyu's head to the window, following pillar's breath to a forest several tens of miles away. The black mist lingered for a moment, then slowly seeped into the soil. After about fifteen minutes, the soil began to loosen, as if something was about to break through. One hand, two hands, three hands... there were at least forty or fifty hands, struggling desperately, a chilling scene. But the next moment, one young woman after another emerged from the soil, breathing in the fresh air deeply. They stared at each other in astonishment, tears streaming down their faces in excitement. They dared not linger too long, nodding to each other, either in groups of three or four, or in pairs, running in different directions. The mysterious person who saved them had said that after faking their deaths and escaping, they should quickly take their burial items and leave separately. From then on, the sky was the limit, and no one would know about their past.
【Day 2 at the entrance of Black Cloud Manor】
pillar: "The master is truly fortunate to have married such a stunning beauty. Now, there is even hope for an heir!"
River manager: "Yes, the lord has been looking forward to this child. (Turning to the servants) Hurry up, the lord and lady will be coming out soon."
pillar: "steward, do you know if the lady has any sisters?"
River manager: "Why do you ask?"
pillar (laughing): "I have to tell you, I think the lady looks quite similar to someone."
River manager: "Who?"
pillar: "It's the one and only Sleeping Beauty whose whereabouts are unknown."
River manager: (silent)
pillar (trying hard to remember): "I saw that Sleeping Beauty on the day of purchase, she looked just like Madam."
River manager (hinting): "Madam is the noble daughter of the Li's family, how could she look the same as a lowly maid? pillar, don't get drunk in broad daylight and lose your senses."
pillar: "Yes, yes, I misspoke. The lady's beauty is truly one of a kind in the world. It must be my confusion! (forced smile) But come to think of it, that Sleeping Beauty has a big scar on her face, not as delicate as the lady's makeup and appearance."
River manager: "Scar?"
pillar: "Yes, that Sleeping Beauty was already disfigured. I bought her in the first place because of her exceptional figure."
After returning Liu Daiyu to the Li family, Jiang Duming went straight back to the Lord's Mansion to rethink the matter of The romantic history of a wretched sea.
【Lord's Mansion Study】
River manager: (hesitates to speak)
Jiang Duming: "If you have something to say, just say it clearly instead of beating around the bush."
River manager: "Does the lord still remember Sleeping Beauty?"
Jiang Duming: "What, have you found the person?"
River manager: "Not yet."
Jiang Duming: "You didn't mention anything to me!"
River manager: "Just this morning, pillar mentioned to me that the Sleeping Beauty looks quite similar to my wife, and even asked if there are any sisters in my wife's family."
Jiang Duming: "Similar to my wife?"
River manager: "Yes, pillar also mentioned that the Sleeping Beauty has a scar on her face."
Jiang Duming: "Scar? Has it been mentioned to anyone else?"
River manager: "No, the lady has a noble status, how could she have any connection with that Sleeping Beauty."
Jiang Duming: "Hmm, you make sure pillar keeps their mouth shut, otherwise..."
River manager: "I understand, Lord, you can rest assured."
Although he said so, Jiang Duming became suspicious. Thinking about it, Liu Daiyu appeared after the explosion and the series of murders. She never told him about her previous experiences, only mentioning that she was plotted against by Liu Daiyan. What kind of plot was it? Scar... scar... right! Jiang Duming suddenly remembered that Liu Daiyu also had a scar on her face, he had seen it twice. Scar... Sleeping Beauty... The romantic history of a wretched sea... chamber pot... Jiang Suifeng... it can't be!
