The Three-Life Stone

I will never forget that she broke my hands and feet and put me in a jar. She said she wanted to turn me into a human pig, but was afraid that I would die too easily. I never thought that jealousy could make people so terrible. She had people force-feed me food every day. She was afraid that I would not be able to hold on and bite my tongue to commit suicide, so she cut off my tongue. She was also afraid that I would not survive, so she spent a lot of money to hire people to treat me.

Oh my God, mother, I may not be able to do it. Mother, please take me away. I was wrong. I shouldn’t have come back. I shouldn’t have shown my edge. I shouldn’t have been seen by the prince. I shouldn’t have… But should I? Am I really wrong?

I heard the fighting outside, my only healthy ear.

What happened outside? Screams, begging for mercy, my chaotic brain couldn't tell what they were arguing about, and my empty eye sockets couldn't see what was happening outside. I was just in the secret compartment of Roy's room. She built a secret compartment in the room to humiliate me. Wasn't she afraid when the thunder and lightning came in my dreams at midnight?

I estimated in my mind that it took about a cup of tea for it to be quiet outside. At a command, the sound became noisy. I don’t know who opened the secret compartment and carried me out. At this moment, I actually felt ashamed. This is a man, am I wearing any clothes? My hands were placed in the tub without feeling, and my body was numb. I couldn’t tell what I looked like at once.

I was very scared. I could feel them leaving me outside and leaving. It had been a long time since I had felt the warm breeze, the warmth of the sun, or heard the rustling of leaves.

Footsteps, one step, two steps.

I wanted to ask who it was, but my dry throat only made one sound and I forgot what I was saying. I couldn't speak for so long that I forgot when I got excited.

He took off his clothes, covered me with his clothes, hugged me and said gently: "It's okay, it's okay, everyone is dead."

I don't know who this person is, but I know he didn't do it for me. He did it out of pity. When I heard his words, my anger suddenly dissipated.

When I woke up, I went back to the day I returned home.

I fell to the ground on purpose, getting covered in dirt, and then somersaulted twice, making my hair a mess.

My arms and legs were crushed by the gravel, but it didn't hurt, it really didn't hurt. My tears were about to flow out unconsciously. This miserable look was Roy's first impression of me this time. She glanced at me with contempt and went back.

In my previous life, I didn't know how to stare around. When I saw Roy, I smiled. She looked at me without blinking. I thought it was a silent welcome. When I greeted her, she snorted and left. It turned out that this made her dislike me.

Even after being reborn, I still don't understand. There are so many beautiful women out there. Is she so mean to every one of them? No, among the sisters she met outside, she was fawning, flattering, and generous in her praises. Could it be that she only couldn't stand her own sisters? What kind of mentality is this?

No matter what her mentality is, once the seeds of hatred are planted, they will never disappear.

I restrained my edge and behaved timidly in the mansion. Except when I was alone, I would spend a long time in front of the bronze mirror, drawing my eyebrows and applying rouge, but it seemed as if I had tried very hard but had not done it well. Every time the maid stood up to greet me, I had already dressed up. I could sense her mockery when I was combing my hair.

Yes, I am just a country girl now. I have just seen the world, I am inferior, timid, but I want to attract attention and dress up carefully.

This method is not a long-term solution. Even if I want to avoid it, I will always have to wander around the mansion. People with narrow minds will always have some different ideas. I can't take the risk before the opportunity comes.

I don't dare to fight against the entire Luo family by myself. The entire Luo family is so big, but there is no place for a young lady. How ridiculous.

For many days that followed, I had a layer of cloth wrapped around my eyes. I said it was an eye disease I got in the mountains. I could feel that Roy was becoming more and more satisfied with me as a foil.

I still remember that in her previous life, she had a grand wedding and was held in the palm of her husband's hand. However, even after the prince took a fancy to me, she was still dissatisfied with her husband. So when her husband later took a concubine, she reacted strongly. Her husband even ignored the concubine on their wedding night because of her. I don't know why she was divorced and sent home because of jealousy. She became a deserted woman and was abandoned by the Luo family. She could only show off in her own courtyard and curse me.

No matter how well this kind of person hides, his true colors will eventually show up. I don't even bother to deal with him myself.

The Lantern Festival was the day he rushed to the palace for a banquet. In the previous life, the Luo family received an invitation, and Luo Yi and I went to the palace one after another. It was at that time that I heard that Prince An fell in love with me because of my eyes.

This time Roy went there by himself. I put on a veil and separated from the maid in the crowd on the street, while looking for a suitable position. All the waiting was at this moment.

This is probably the only similarity between me and the chrysanthemum. I would rather grow old on the fragrant branches than dance with the yellow leaves in the autumn wind.

I didn't avoid or give way when Prince An's carriage came towards me. I opened the cloth covering my eyes. The guards pointed a knife at me, but I didn't care and stared at Nangong Yu behind the curtain.

Yes, I thought about it for a long time, and finally guessed that the person who gave me the clothes was Nangong Yu. After all, he was the only big shot who had connections with me. The Luo family must have committed some heinous crime and was facing a confiscation of their property, and he recognized me even though he had only met me once.

When he saw my expression, he didn't show any disgust but hugged me and stroked my eyes. Now when I think back, I seem to have seen the regret in his eyes at that moment. A person with such compassion would definitely not let his subordinates kill me in public.

At this moment, I didn't care whether the Luo family had discovered me or not. When Nangong Yu asked his men to put away their swords and listen to what I had to say, I rushed into the sedan chair while no one was reacting. Nangong Yu stopped his subordinates from coming in and directly grabbed my neck.

"I will not kill innocent people, but you seem to be taking it too far."

When I heard his voice, I couldn't help but shed tears. I didn't resist and let his fingertips take away the air in my lungs. I just looked at him. This was a gamble. A desperado with nothing was betting his life on a chance.

I saw the defensiveness, suspicion, and a hint of pity in his eyes, and I knew that I had won the bet. No matter what the price was, I would not have to be treated like a dog in the Luo family.

"Please, accept me. I am willing to go through fire and water for you and work like a slave for you."

He sneered and said, "A madman who looks like an assassin and I don't know him rushes in and asks me to work like a slave for him?"

As expected, I knew he would complain. Even if the royal family was kind-hearted, the most difficult thing was trust. But that was what I really thought. I was willing to give my life for this person. After he gave me the last bit of dignity and indirectly avenged me, in this life, my life would be used for revenge and for the person in front of me.

Bei Ming Mo flipped through two pages and put the book back on the table: "I don't know what's the point of you showing me this. I'm not interested in the life story of the former palace master's wife."
