Zhou Ziyue stared at Tang Wanru's face and frowned. He felt strange. Where had he seen this old man before?

Tang Wanru said nothing, her confused eyes were like dead water!

That's it!

Tang Wanru felt as if her throat was being strangled and she couldn't utter a word!

Her husband actually knew that the Marquis's Mansion was going to be convicted, and he married her to protect another woman!

Do not!

He is not marrying!

She was dragged into hell!

That was really her purgatory. During those eight years, she and him lived in the open air, being bullied and trampled upon! Her body and her mind were riddled with holes. The eight years of nightmare had destroyed her beyond recognition!

She thought it was a virtue to share the joys and sorrows with her husband!

What keeps her going is love!

Little did she know that all this was actually a lie!

Zhou Ziyue finally recognized Tang Wanru, and it was as if a thunderbolt struck him, he was completely stunned!

He let go of Tang Yue'er and stood up suddenly: "Wanru, how did you become like this!"

This, how is this possible?

A year ago, her face had only slightly changed, and he thought she would be fine after he let her rest. But he didn't expect that now...

Tang Wanru didn't look at him, her dead gaze fell on the twin boy and girl held in the arms of the two palace maids.

She never had any children in her life.

When Zhou Ziyue was exiled to the desert, he was captured by the Shanrong tribe who lived in the desert. At that time, he was arrogant and refused to give in. When the Shanrong beat him with a stick, Tang Wanru protected him. The stick hit her stomach, making her lose her fertility forever.

And now, this man has a child with someone else.

Tang Wanru thought it was ridiculous! The laughter came out from her worn vocal cords, hoarse and shrill with sand, extremely unpleasant to the ear.

The two children started crying loudly after hearing this, and Tang Yue'er was so scared that she shrank into the corner.

Zhou Ziyue walked towards her and looked at Tang Wanru's face in disbelief. He suddenly felt a little overwhelmed, "Wanru, didn't I find a royal physician for you? How does this royal physician treat illnesses?!"

He didn't know what he was worried about, he just shouted angrily, "Someone! Call the imperial physician, how could the queen become like this? What do they do for a living?!"

"Why didn't anyone tell me when her condition was so serious?"

He felt inexplicably irritated!

Just like how he was annoyed at the beginning when he didn't know what excuse to find to let Tang Yue'er enter the palace!

He really didn't know that she was so seriously ill, otherwise he wouldn't have left her alone in Lianqiu Palace!

"Wanru, everything will be fine." He could only comfort her, "I will find the best doctor to cure your illness."

"It's going to be okay." He tried to hold her hand.

Tang Wanru's hand retracted, and he missed.

Zhou Ziyue felt his heart suddenly tightened, and he looked at Tang Wanru's dead eyes in shock.

"Zhou Ziyue, I hate you!" The six words came out of her lips with a loud voice.

Zhou Ziyue shuddered all over.

Tang Wanru slowly raised her bamboo-thin arm, stretched out a bent finger and pointed at him tremblingly, "I curse you, you will never have true love!"

Her pupils dilated, her eyes were bloodshot: "If there is an afterlife, I will never enter the Zhou family!"

These words hit Zhou Ziyue's heart so hard that he almost lost his balance as if struck by lightning.

Tang Wanru seemed to have used up all her strength. She didn't look at him again. Her already severely sagging face slumped at a speed visible to the naked eye. Her already cloudy eyes turned fishy yellow. Time seemed to be reflected on her body. Her body quickly became hunched, and the few black hairs on her head turned white.

"Ah!" This terrible change made the palace maid scream in fear.

"Wanru! Wanru!" Zhou Ziyue opened his eyes wide. He wanted to reach out to hold her, but she was too old to move.

The light in her eyes went out, and she fell to the ground and stopped breathing.

*

"Miss, the Marquis's family is here to ask for your hand in marriage. Please get up and dress up."

Tang Wanru suddenly opened her eyes.

A white light shone into her eyes.

After a moment of trance, she saw Yingchun, the maid standing beside the bed and calling her.

Firefly Spring?

She remembered that this personal maidservant of hers came with her to the Marquis's Mansion as a dowry, and she fell ill and died on the way in the first year of exile.

Why are you here now?

"Miss?"

Tang Wanru looked around and saw the familiar carved mirror, the crescent chair, and the bed curtains floating in the wind. Was this actually her own boudoir?

During her days of exile, she would dream of this place, missing the carefree days in her boudoir.

Is she reborn?

Tang Wanru found it unbelievable. Her first reaction was her age. Was she still the old woman? She didn't dare to raise her hand to look.

Finally she mustered up the courage and raised her hands in front of her.

The slender white hands came into view. The skin was as white as cream, flawless and tender. They were no longer the dry and withered hands of an old woman with only skin and bones showing!

She was really reborn!

Tang Wanru almost cried for joy. Those days were like the eighteen levels of hell to her, and now she had crawled out of hell.

Yingchun saw Tang Wanru's strange expression and asked with concern: "Miss, did you have a nightmare?"

Tang Wanru chuckled and shook her head.

"Hingchun, what did you just say?"

"Miss, the Yongning Marquis's mansion came to ask for marriage early in the morning, and the master asked you to leave quickly."

Propose marriage?

She was actually reborn to the day when Zhou Ziyue came to propose to her!

There was a hint of sarcasm on Tang Wanru's face. In her previous life, she had nothing and died of illness because of him. She would never repeat the same mistake in this life!

Asking for marriage? She told him to ask for marriage!

In the previous life, Zhou Ziyue came alone with gifts to propose marriage. At that time, everyone thought that Zhou Ziyue was proposing marriage to Tang Yueer, the concubine of the Tang family. Because he and Tang Yueer had met several times at previous banquets, but no one expected that he would say in the front hall of the Tang family, in front of Tang's father, that the person he wanted to marry was Tang Wanru, the legitimate daughter of the Tang family.

And he had never met Tang Wanru before!

At that time, Tang Wanru was still unmarried and had very little contact with men. She felt nervous and shy when someone suddenly proposed to her. After seeing the tall and handsome Zhou Ziyue in the front hall, she had no idea how to deal with him.

She just nodded in confusion.

If she had the chance to do it all over again, not only would she not become a stumbling block to their relationship, she would also help them finally become a couple!

"Hinaharu, go get some water so I can take a bath."

Bath?

Yingchun was stunned. She heard that the prince of Yongning Marquis' Mansion had been here for a long time and was now waiting for the young lady.

Forget it, who cares? It’s his fault that he came here suddenly without posting anything before.

"Yes, ma'am."
