“Suck, suck, suck.”
“Eat, sister, why don’t you eat?”
In the dim secret room, Wen Si was covered in wounds, lying on the ground dying. The iron chains on her body rattled, locking her neck and limbs, preventing her from breaking free.
In front of her, a girl in a goose yellow dress was holding dog food in her hands and teasing her like she was teasing a dog.
And this girl with a beautiful smile is her younger sister, Wen Yue.
Wen Yue said to the maid behind her unhappily: “Look, my sister is really useless. She can’t even be a good dog. I feed her myself, and she dares not eat?”
The maid immediately stepped forward and kicked the person on the ground.
After kicking the girl so hard that she groaned, the maid said to Wen Yue in a flattering way, “Miss, don’t bother with her. I’m afraid this dog still thinks she is the legitimate daughter of the Duke’s Mansion.”
Wen Yue sneered, “How can Wen Si be considered a legitimate daughter? Even her father and brothers don’t recognize her. It is an honor for her to be a dog.”
“It’s a pity, you just don’t know what’s best for you.”
After saying this coldly, Wen Yue stepped on Wen Si’s hand and crushed it hard.
The bones in her hands crackled as she was crushed, and Wen Si whimpered in pain.
“Wen Si, I’ll give you one last chance. Hand over the jade pendant to me!”
“Heh… heh…”
Wen Si, who was already a little conscious, finally reacted after hearing this.
She laughed weakly twice, “Wen Yue, you are wishful thinking…”
That was the only thing her mother left her. Even if she died, she would never give it to Wen Yue.
“Bitch, you’re looking for death!”
Wen Yue was so angry that her eyes almost spit fire.
At this moment, the door of the secret room was pushed open from the outside, and several figures came in.
Wen Yue turned around and saw the person coming. She immediately stuffed the dog food into the maid’s arms and hid it. The expression on her face was like a magic trick. She instantly returned to her innocent and lovely appearance, and then she happily pounced on the person coming.
“Daddy, big brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother!”
“Why are you here?”
The five people who came in were the Duke of Zhenguo of the Ming Dynasty and his four sons.
Because the Duke of Zhenguo was born tall and had outstanding looks.
His four sons also inherited his traits. Not only were they all tall, they were also very handsome and had extraordinary temperaments.
They also have some of the character of the Duke of Zhenguo, with either a cold or evil expression on their faces.
But without exception, when Wen Yue called out to them in her soft and tender voice, these seemingly cold and heartless people showed moved expressions on their faces.
The second brother Wen Zichen looked at Wen Si on the ground with disdain and asked, “Xiao Liu, how is it? Did she hand over the jade pendant she stole from you?”
Not stolen!
She didn’t steal!
That’s her jade pendant!
“Alas, no.”
Wen Yue sighed in a very disappointed tone and said aggrievedly: “Fifth sister knew that it was the most important thing to me and the only thought my mother left me, but no matter how much I begged her, she refused to give it back to me.”
“I really don’t know what to do anymore.”
When Wen Yue finished speaking, her voice was trembling, as if she was about to cry.
Wen Zichen and others felt very distressed when they heard this.
“Wen Si, I am so disappointed in you.”
Wen Zichen said angrily.
The third brother Wen Ziyue, who was standing at the door, also instantly turned cold and took out a sharp knife in his hand.
“Since she is so stubborn, then chop off her hands. Chop off one hand and ask her every time. If she still refuses to tell me, then chop off both her hands and feet. She dared to steal Sixth Sister’s things. I want to see if Wen Si is as stubborn as her mouth!”
“No need to chop your hands.”
At this time, the eldest brother Wen Changyun said coldly: “Someone saw Wen Si hastily swallowing something before she was captured.”
Wen Si was startled for a moment, her eyes were filled with panic.
When Wen Zichen and others saw this scene, they immediately understood.
Wen Zichen yelled angrily: “Wen Si, are you crazy? You would rather swallow her alive than return Xiaoliu’s jade pendant to her?!”
There was a sudden madness in Wen Si’s eyes.
Now that she has been discovered, she has nothing left to hide.
“Haha…yeah, I’m crazy!”
“She, Wen Yue, has harmed me to this extent, and she also wants to take away the last thing my mother left me. How can I not go crazy?”
Wen Si excitedly pulled on several chains, and the rattling sound and her voice filled the entire secret room.
“What do you think? You only have two choices now. Give up? Or dissect me?”
Wen Zichen and the others looked extremely unhappy, including the fourth brother Wen Yuzhi who had been watching coldly from the sidelines.
They subconsciously looked at their father, Duke Zhenguo Wen Quansheng.
At this time, only he can make the decision.
A dark color flashed in Wen Yue’s eyes. She pursed her lips and said only one sentence: “Father, I miss mother.”
At that moment, Wen Si saw the slightly changing expression on Wen Quansheng’s face.
She knew she had lost the bet.
Wen Quansheng sighed, “Wen Si, don’t blame your brothers, blame me.”
“In your next life, if you become the daughter of the Wen family again, the Wen family will compensate you well.”
The expression on Wen Si’s face seemed to be both laughing and crying, as well as crazy and mad.
Two lines of blood and tears slowly flowed from the corners of her eyes.
“No, I will never be the daughter of the Wen family in my next life!”
When the cold knife cut through Wen Si’s abdomen and her last breath disappeared in the secret room, the jade pendant that had long been integrated with her body suddenly lit up, emitting a dazzling light within her body.
——
The Ming Dynasty lasted for seventy-six years.
Early summer.
The Duke Zhenguo’s Mansion.
The Duke Zhenguo’s Mansion is very lively today.
Everyone in the capital knew that the two daughters of the Duke of Zhenguo would hold their coming-of-age ceremony together.
At this time, in a boudoir in the mansion——
“No, don’t…”
On the bed, a fifteen-year-old girl was murmuring in a trembling voice, as if she had had a terrible dream.
The next second she suddenly opened a pair of eyes full of fear, screamed, sat up abruptly from the bed, and subconsciously stretched out her hands to cover herself.
“ah–!”
The imagined pain of cesarean section did not come.
After a while, Wen Si opened her eyes fearfully and cautiously.
Upon taking a look, I realized that something was wrong with the surroundings. It was not the secret room.
My father, elder brother, Wen Yue and others were not here either.
There was just a quiet room and some familiar furnishings.
Wen Si’s mind was filled with fear and she thought for a long time before she remembered where she was.
“Isn’t this my old room?”
It was the room she lived in when she was still in the Duke’s Mansion and was loved by her parents and brother.
“No, why am I here?!”
Wen Si, who finally reacted, was so scared that she quickly jumped up from the bed and stumbled to the ground.
“Why is this happening? Why am I back here?!”
She has to leave quickly!
We can’t be caught by father and elder brother!
Otherwise she’d be dead!
But before she ran to the door, there was a sudden knock on the door.
“Knock, knock.”
“Fifth Miss, how long are you going to sleep? Today is your and Sixth Miss’s coming-of-age ceremony. If you are late, don’t blame me for not calling you.”
The maid’s rude voice fell into Wen Si’s ears, and she was so scared that she withdrew her hand when she was about to open the door.
But the words she heard also made her stop slowly and her expression became dull.
“And… the coming-of-age ceremony?”
