The darkness engulfed the night, and except for the occasional barking of dogs, everyone in the village had fallen asleep!

Su Qingling had another nightmare. She dreamed that she was walking and then she fell into a swamp. She saw her body sinking little by little. She heard the baby in her belly crying "Mom" miserably, and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes onto the brocade pillow!

Then, she saw Xie Xuanping holding a long knife and laughing wildly, shouting:

"You dare to cheat on me? I will cut that evildoer out and make sure that bastard has no children!"

Xie Xuanping's face was ferocious, and he swung the knife in his hand forward. She felt that her stomach was cut in half like a watermelon!

Xie Xuanping used a long knife to pierce the baby in her belly and picked it up. The baby cried hoarsely due to the pain and waved his little hands helplessly!

The next moment, she saw Su Qingyan grinning, her eyes full of madness.

With hands covered in blood, he was bending over and sewing her belly with needle and thread. The baby's head was still exposed, and it was calling for its mother while it was dying!

"Child... my child... ah..."

Su Qingling cried helplessly, twisting her head back and forth on the brocade pillow!

Xia He, who was on night duty, gently wiped the sweat from the young mistress's forehead and the tears from her eyes with a handkerchief, and kept shouting in her ear:

"Madam, wake up!"

Su Qingling felt a dull pain that seemed to twist his intestines, and suddenly he felt a cool breeze and woke up abruptly!

When I opened my eyes, I met Xia He's concerned eyes with tears in them.

Seeing that the young mistress had woken up, he immediately relaxed, and the tears finally burst out, muttering:

"Amitabha, may the Bodhisattva bless you, Madam, you finally woke up!"

"Madam, you had a nightmare again tonight... Wuuwuwu... I couldn't wake you up today. I was almost scared to death..."

Su Qingling forced a smile that was uglier than crying and said:

"You are just an idiot. What could possibly happen to someone's nightmare? Why don't you pour a glass of water for your young mistress? She is almost dying of thirst!"

Xia He took the wet towel and threw it aside, then stood up and poured water on the table.

The lights in the room had already been lit, which showed that Xia He had been waiting there for quite some time!

After drinking two sips of the water brought by Xia He, Su Qingling's complexion looked much better. After this experience, he no longer felt sleepy!

Xia He took a royal blue cape with a slanting cloud pattern and put it on Su Qingling. She only lifted the curtain on one side, sat on a low stool and started chatting with the young lady!

"Tomorrow, if Qiuju comes again, let her in and leave her alone for a few days. I guess there will be a surprise tomorrow!"

Although Xia He was not smart, she was not stupid either. She understood the meaning of the words and said:

"Madam, are you saying Qiu Ju will reveal something?"

Su Qingling pinched Xia He's nose and said with a smile, "It seems that my Xia He is not stupid after all!"

Xia He snorted and said, "Young Madam is always teasing me. After all, I have been with you for more than ten years. I can't just grow taller without growing smarter, right?"

These words made Su Qingling feel a little relieved. Seeing that the corners of Xia He's eyes were red from crying, he couldn't help but sigh.

The maids around him thought Xia He was slow-witted, but she was truly loyal, otherwise, she would not have been sent away so early by that group of evil wolves in her previous life!

"Xia He, go to the couch and take a nap. I've already slept for a while here, but I can't fall asleep right now. I have something to think about. You don't have to stay by my side!"

Xia He was worried, so the young lady forced her to lie down on the couch. Perhaps she was tired, and she fell into a deep sleep after a while!

Su Qingling had nightmares almost every night since his rebirth, and every time he woke up, he couldn't suppress the anger in his body.

She desperately wanted revenge, for her children, for her parents and brothers, for all those who died protecting her, and for herself!

At this time in her previous life, she was injured and could not recuperate. She dragged her sick body and used her dowry to maintain the various expenses of the mansion.

The Changning Marquis' Mansion actually had a few profitable shops, but most of the money collected went to the Marquis's wife, and the money went into the private treasury of that good mother-in-law!

There is also income from several farms, which can barely support the food and expenses of the mansion!

Just a few days after I was injured, my uncle got into trouble!

The Marquis and his wife placed the burden on their 20-year-old daughter-in-law, not caring about the process but only the result.

Every day, she tried her best to take out her dowry of nearly ten thousand taels of silver and give it to Xie Zhilan to take care of it. It took nearly half a month to settle the matter!

According to Xie Zhilan, he spent five thousand taels on bribery and paid another five thousand taels in compensation, and only then did the Wang family stop pursuing the matter!

In fact, she later found out that Xie Xuanping had found his former classmates from aristocratic families.

The classmate then went to the young master of the Duke of Wei, who was his good friend, to intercede for him, and paid two thousand taels of silver to settle the matter!

And he and several others only spent a hundred taels on a meal together!

At that time, Xie Xuanping took out a set of exquisitely carved golden nanmu carved screens from her dowry and gave them to the Duke's wife through the young master!

The screen was made by my mother who gathered materials from everywhere when she was only in her teens and it took her several years to make it.

Xie Zhilan said lightly:

"As long as my second brother is safe and sound!"

Then the mother’s hard work would be wasted!

He used the money he embezzled to buy clothes and jewelry for Su Qingyan!

In this life, she will never be a sucker again!

When I left the Marquis' Mansion, the amount I handed over to the public account was 11,200 taels. According to the expenses of this mansion, I should have spent almost 2,000 taels in the past few days!

Haha, in this life, I no longer have the golden nanmu screen and my own dowry money, so let them jump around for a few days!

Everything has its consequences, and I am your retribution!

In the previous life, the two were husband and wife in name only, living a life that was physically harmonious but spiritually alienated.

In the end, there was no communication, no apology, no comfort, and no attention.

He pretended nothing had happened and let it go without even compromising, but in the end, he still met a miserable end at the hands of that bastard couple!

In this life, she wants to overturn all of this. She was not murdered, but only lost her husband!

She would rather live her life as a widow and be labeled as a jinx than let these jackals, tigers and leopards get the retribution they deserve!

Su Qingling sorted out her thoughts carefully. Fortunately, whether in the previous life or this life, she always kept her mother's teachings in mind.

Before getting married, her mother gave her a secret box that only she could open, and inside was a stack of land deeds!

These land deeds include seven or eight profitable shops in the capital, as well as several villas nearby. These are not included in the dowry list, just in case!

My mother was from a famous family in Jiangnan. When she married my father, her dowry was staggeringly generous, and my mother put a lot of effort into her daughter's marriage.

Thinking of this, Su Qingling felt heartbroken. She was so blind and deceived at the beginning that she didn't even realize it!

Amidst a myriad of thoughts, Su Qingling fell asleep again in a daze!
