The prince disliked her, and the legitimate daughter was reborn and married to the regent

"Why are you hiding here again? Didn't she give you any food?"

The little girl looked angry, her beautiful green eyes looked like cat's pupils in the dark, but the little boy she had pulled up just touched his belly.

"I just met a strange woman. She gave me food. But you, are you okay?"

He pointed his finger at the wound on the little girl's body, which was the mark left by the fire.

Seeing that he noticed it, the little girl just shook her head and said indifferently,

"Never mind it, let's just stay here until dawn. I don't want to go back, and you don't want to either, right?"

Although it was a question, the little girl's tone was firm, and Cao'er nodded. He moved his bruised and swollen wrist and put the strange woman behind him.

……

Yun Nian went to look for the little boy several times. The strange thing was that Langya and Baiju always disappeared. Maybe she had entered some strange place?

She couldn't find the answer, but when she saw Cao'er being thrown into the well again, she still questioned angrily.

"Hey, who threw you in here? Aren't you going to resist?"

But how can a four-year-old child resist an adult? Yun Nian felt that he was too superior, so he handed the food to him with some bitterness.

"Never mind, here you go. Can you tell me who locked you in there? Maybe I can help you."

It was strange that when she saw the children in the paddock, she felt sad, but not as angry as she was now.

Cao Er guessed something from her words and just shook his head. He knew that apart from himself, no one else could be trusted, even this strange-looking woman in front of him.

He suddenly wanted to know what expression the eyes covered by the veil would show when they saw his unique pupils.

Just ask her next time she comes.

The moonlight tonight was too bright. Yun Nian looked up and saw a huge full moon hanging in the sky. The night was as bright as day.

Yun Nian was lying on the bed, feeling that her heart was too restless, as if something was about to happen.

She got up from the bed with some uneasiness, opened the door, and the cold moonlight enveloped her. Everything around her was silent, not even the sound of insects.

The maids slept soundly. Fuqiu did not blame her servants, so they often took a nap secretly at night.

This was convenient for Yun Nian, as no one would know that she went out every night.

But today, Langya and Baiju did not respond. She hesitated for a moment, and decided to go forward alone.

Nothing will happen, right?

She walked to the vicinity of the paddock as if being guided. The surroundings seemed to be shrouded in white mist, making it difficult to see clearly.

"How dare you run!"

"Tell me, where did you get the food? Did you steal it? You are indeed of lowly blood. How could I give birth to a monster like you!"

A sharp female voice came from behind the white fog, mixed with the sound of sticks hitting people.

"Well……"

The suppressed cry of pain was somewhat familiar, and Yun Nian recognized it immediately.

"Grass?"

She took a few steps forward, wanting to see who was attacking such a young child. Suddenly, white mist came over like a gathering cloud.

Yun Nian waved her hands randomly in the air, and the white mist felt like catkins, which made her almost suffocate.

When she finally rushed out and coughed a few times, she saw Cao'er kneeling on the ground being punished.

A woman in luxurious clothes grabbed something beside her and threw it directly at the little boy. The sharp and heavy object hit his forehead, and blood flowed from the wound.

"Mother! No! Please, he already knows he's wrong, please don't punish him anymore!"

The little girl screamed miserably, but like the woman who had done it, her face was obscured by the white mist and could not be seen clearly.

If Yun Nian was still sane, she should know that everything before her eyes had clearly gone beyond the scope of reality and was more like an illusion or a dream.

But she didn't seem to notice the strangeness. She just rushed forward, holding the grass with her hands and trying to block the blows that were coming down.

"You...uh!"

Cao'er's eyes turned into astonishment, but before he could be surprised, the bowl-thick stick landed on his back, causing him to fall forward and pierce through Yun Nian's body.

"How could this be?"

Although he could clearly feel the body temperature, he was unable to block the attack. Yun Nian knelt on the ground somewhat helplessly, and reached out his hand again to touch Cao'er's cheek.

But the punishment continued. She could no longer hear the woman's abuse, but only noticed Cao'er's suppressed cries of pain. By the time it was over, he was already covered in bruises.

"Wait! Mother, don't throw him down, I beg you, he will die! He will really die!"

"It's better that he died. I never want to see him again. When I see him, I think of the humiliation I suffered. He shouldn't have survived. If I hadn't felt pity for him, I would have strangled him to death!"

Pushing the begging girl away, the woman whose face could not be seen dragged Cao'er out. Yun Nian reached out to pull her away, but still couldn't touch anything.

She stumbled after him, passed through the long corridor, walked through the thorny area, and saw the dry well she had seen before.

"Mother!"

The little girl screamed, and the shrill sound cut through the long night. The grass was placed in the bucket and suddenly dropped down, but it stopped when it was about to hit the bottom. It was because the little girl pulled the rope hard.

"Go, leave him here alone, he must be punished, and so must you."

The two of them pulled each other away. Yun Nian walked to the side of the axis and tried to pull Cao'er up, but found that he could not touch the rotating rope no matter what.

"Hey! Can you hear me?"

She shouted into the pitch-black depths, and a barely audible response came from below.

"Um……"

After a while, there was no sound again, leaving the girl alone, anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

"Hey, I'll find a way to get you up here. Don't be afraid. I'll be here with you."

There was no sound from below for a long time. Just when Yun Nian thought he had fainted, a slight sound like a sigh was heard.

"it is good."

Unfortunately, no matter what, Yun Nian couldn't touch the things here. They were too strange. She gritted her teeth and stood on the edge of the well.
