Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

On June 28th, the 45th year of Shengping in the Yong Dynasty, the selected concubines entered the palace.

Wang Xifeng and the two maids An'er and Ru'er who were about to be brought into the palace got up at four o'clock in the morning, washed and dressed, and waited quietly at home for the palace carriage to pick them up.

In accordance with palace custom, Aunt Meng left before Wang Xifeng and others and returned to the palace to perform her duties.

As for the emperor's personal statement about finding someone to teach Wang Xifeng, the empress had to step in and award Aunt Meng to Wang Xifeng through the crown princess as a tutor. This would have been considered as completing all the necessary procedures.

Wang Ziteng did not have to go to court this morning. He had to wait for the court envoy at home and send his niece out, only then would he have completed this mission.

However, there was a big fight in the Wang family the day before, Wang Ziteng was furious, and Yu fell ill in bed.

Both husband and wife thought that the other would take care of the matter, but when the fifth watch gong sounded, they heard neither any message from the front yard nor any noise from the back yard.

Seeing the bright sky, Wang Ziteng, who had not seen the mountains, rivers, boats and seas all night, suddenly woke up. He sat up suddenly, cried out in his heart, "Oh no!" and shouted sternly:

"Who's on duty outside? Why don't you wake me up?!"

The girl who had just lost her virginity the night before pushed the door open delicately, her eyes as charming as silk: "Master, I am exhausted and fell asleep accidentally..."

Veins popped up on Wang Ziteng's forehead, knowing that he had caused a big disaster last night due to his distracted mind. He gritted his teeth and kicked the girl in the stomach!

The girl screamed and flew out, her back hitting the wall. She fell to the ground with a thud, a mouthful of blood spurted out, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted immediately!

Wang Ziteng didn't even glance at her. He strode out and went straight to the bed.

Madam Wang's face was pale, and she was breathing out more than she was breathing in. Although she was dying, she seemed to be able to survive for another day and a night...

A murderous look flashed in Wang Ziteng's eyes, and he immediately knelt down and cried, "Mother! Mother!"

Finally, someone outside heard the noise, ran over hurriedly, pushed the door and walked in!

Taking advantage of this moment, Wang Ziteng quickly leaned over to Old Lady Wang's ear and whispered, "Remember, when you go down, tell the King of Hell that it was your own granddaughter who killed you.

"It was Sister Luan who reduced your dosage."

With just these words, Old Lady Wang slowly and laboriously opened her eyes, staring at the gauze curtain embroidered with a pattern of ruyi grass and passionflower on the ceiling of the bed.

"But she knew that reducing the dosage would ruin the efficacy of the medicine. I deliberately mentioned this to her mother when I was talking to her."

Old Madam Wang shuddered, and with all her strength, she mechanically turned her head little by little in disbelief to look at her youngest son, whom she had loved so much since childhood.

The turbid old tears as big as beans fell straight down from his wide-open eyes.

Wang Ziteng's voice continued in a low voice:

"Now whether Feng girl can enter the palace depends on you.

"If you survive this disaster, I will send you to my old house in Jiangnan, and let my elder brother and sister-in-law take care of you until you grow old.

"If you can't bear it, go downstairs to find my father immediately, and Feng girl will stay at home to observe the mourning period..."

Old Madam Wang's throat gurgled and she tried hard to raise her head, but she fell weakly onto the pillow!

All the maids and servants outside had already reached the bedside at this moment, and they all choked with sobs when they saw this.

Someone who was sensible quickly pushed a few people out and said, "Go tell the madam, the two brothers, and Sister Luan!"

He stumbled away with panicked steps.

Wang Ziteng shuddered and turned back in disbelief: "Where's Feng girl?"

"In reply to the master, the carriages from the palace arrived at the gate at five o'clock in the morning. The eldest lady and her two maids were waiting there and left at that time."

Wang Ziteng closed his eyes tightly, then suddenly opened them again and said sternly, "Tell the housekeeper to ride a fast horse to chase her! Her grandmother has passed away, and it is a bad omen for her to enter the palace now! Let her come back!"

"But the old lady..." Everyone was shocked!

Although Old Madam Wang can no longer speak or move, she is still alive!

At this moment, the old man lying stiffly on the bed suddenly took a deep, trembling breath, looked up at the sky, coughed, and then laughed softly.

Wang Ziteng was cold all over and looked like a wooden chicken!

The mother actually used the last bit of her strength to destroy her own stage and kill herself...

Old Madam Wang laughed so hard that it seemed as if all her meridians were opened up by her laughter. Her voice became smoother, louder, and more mournful!

"Mother, mother..." Wang Ziteng's voice was unconsciously filled with pleading.

Old Madam Wang didn't even want to look at him. She just lay there straight, laughing, laughing wildly!

A gray shrike flew over to the back window of the inner room facing the bed. It grabbed the carved window frame with its claws and tilted its head to look inside. After looking for a while, it opened its mouth and called out:

"Gah!"

The sound sounded a bit like the cry of a crow, and also a bit like Old Madam Wang's laughter...

The servants who were kneeling beside Wang Ziteng and sobbing were suddenly startled and subconsciously went to see Old Madam Wang secretly.

Old Madam Wang was also stunned. Her laughter stopped abruptly and she turned her eyes with difficulty to look in that direction.

It turned out to be a bird. After a while, she recovered from her shock and laughed miserably again, even saying the last words of her life:

"you're right……

"This is... retribution..."

Stopped abruptly.

With his mouth open, eyes staring, body crooked and hands scattered, he died with his eyes open.

Wang Ziteng, who had been frightened to death, finally realized that his old mother, who had been with him almost every day since he could remember, had died.

A heavy sadness that he himself had not expected hung before his eyes!

“Mother!!!!” Wang Ziteng cried out in pain and burst into tears!

Yu, who had just walked to the gate of the courtyard, saw the old woman rushing over from the opposite side. Just as she was about to ask something, she heard Wang Ziteng's roar, and her knees suddenly went weak!

It was Wang Li who followed behind her who found the time to ask the old woman, "Where are you going?"

"The master asked the housekeeper to ride a horse to chase the eldest girl and tell her that the old lady is gone and ask her to come back to mourn."

Wang Yi and Wang Li both frowned when they heard this.

But Yu, who should have spoken at this time, kept her mouth shut.

Even though her daughter was disobedient and unfilial, and even though she murdered her parents, even though her daughter could be said to be a beast...

But the reason why my daughter became a beast was because her cousin was going to enter the palace. If this matter could really be stopped because of the old lady's death, would my daughter be able to regain her sanity and become the innocent and lovely girl she was back then? !

As for the numerous troubles that this has caused...

What does that have to do with her and her daughter? !

The old woman bent her knees and continued to walk out. Wang Yi opened his mouth and stretched out his hand to stop her, but Yu Shi put herself on her son and covered her face and cried:

"Help me to see your grandmother for the last time."

Having missed this opportunity, Wang Yi could only watch the old woman walk further and further away.

Wang Li said nothing.

When they entered the main room, Wang Ziteng was lying on the ground in front of the bed, crying loudly. Yu also rushed over and started crying loudly.

Wang Yi wiped his tears, tilted his head and asked his brother in a low voice: "If we send someone to call the housekeeper back now, will it be too late?"

“No need.” Wang Li calmly pulled him forward, walked to the back of Wang Ziteng and Yu and knelt down, “He can’t catch up.”

As soon as these four words were uttered, even Wang Ziteng and Yu, who were crying loudly in the front, stopped crying.
