Chapter 15 Do You Want to be a Ghost

The wet-nurse took Shen Qing Ci from Shen Ding Shan’s arms, and then took her to sleep inside, at this time no one would see the child, just silently choking back her tears.

It was not that she didn’t dare to look at people, but she just didn’t know how to face her brother who had been killed by her in past, and her sister who had been burned to death.

The wet-nurse put her on the bed which was much bigger than the previous one. No matter the rags and cotton, the bed was very soft, and it was also covered with several layers of quilt. The quilt was made of brocade, and it was soft and fragrant on her body.

The wet-nurse was sat at the side of the bed, gently fanning Shen Qing Ci. At this time, the sky was getting warmer, and it was also a bit hot. The children were the least resistant to cold, but they were at least hot.

At night, she found that Shen Qing Ci was sweating.

Shen Qing Ci kept shaking the rattle drums which she then puts into the quilt, and then grabbed the quilt tightly with one of her small hands. She closes her eyes almost unexpectedly, and then dreams of her previous life, all of which are undoubtedly her nightmares.

She grabbed the quilt tightly, till the knuckles of one of her small hands turned white.

“Eldest Brother, what should we do? Brother Dong An injured the Fourth Prince.”

Shen Qing Ci cried to Shen Wen Hao, “He didn’t do it on purpose. If this matter was known by others, the Huang Clan would be doomed. The Huang Family was just a merchant family without any high-ranking or top rank officials.

If they dared injured a prince like this today, it would not be a crime of killing him but also the whole Huang Family, Moreover, the Fourth Prince had always been moody and uncertain. Last time, a palace maid soiled his clothes, so he threw the palace maid into the river and refused to let anyone save her. At last the maid drowned.

Everyone in the Jing Shi City knew that the Fourth Prince was a ruthless and cruel person. Everyone who saw him would flee. But who would’ve thought that Huang Dong An actually had a conflict with the Fourth Prince and beat him up. No matter what happened, the Fourth Prince was injured now.

Now that this matter has come out, it’s going to be a big one. According to the Fourth Prince’s character, he will make sure the Huang Family is destroyed.

So how should we deal with this matter? Now, the Huang Family is in a state of desperation, they are even thinking of packing up their valuables and running away. But this was the emperor’s world, and land of his subjects! Where can they run?! It was impossible for a monk to run away from a temple, and the Huang Clan was a merchant family, and the situation was also complicated, It’s impossible for all the people of the Huang Family to run away?

And with such a big move, even the Fourth Prince would be stupid to not guess that they were trying to escape from punishment.

The Huang Family was anxious, while she was more anxious.

“Eldest Brother, if something really happens to Brother Dong An, I will die, too.”

She sat on the ground, crying from time to time. Shen Qing Ci was a wilful and spoiled young lady who was also taught badly. She didn’t have a mother, and no one taught her how to behave. She just knew that as long as she lived a good life, everything would be fine.

“Is Huang Dong An really important to you?” Shen Wen Hao asked Shen Qing Ci.

His voice was faint and his tone was gentle.

“Of course he’s important,” Shen Qing Ci kicked Shen Wen Hao “People like you who killed my mother won’t understand. He is the only one who treats me best in the world now. Without Brother Dong An, I won’t live anymore.”

Shen Wen Hao squatted down and touched his sister’s hair. “A Ning don’t be angry or scared ,I’ll help you later okay.”

He smiled and still loved his sister as much as before. Even if Shen Qing Ci said the sentence “You killed my mother” thousands of times, he was still not angry at all.

“But how can you help him?”

As expected, hearing this, Shen Qing Ci stopped crying. She grabbed her brother’s sleeve and became anxious. Of course, she became the delicate girl again.

“It’s none of your business. Eldest Brother will do it well. As long as A Ning is happy, everything will be fine. Father is gone, but there is still this brother here to help you. Eldest brother won’t let anyone bully A Ning.”

Shen Qing Ci happily cleaned herself up then went to change her clothes to look for Huang Dong An, but she didn’t notice the reluctance and sadness in Shen Wen Hao’s eyes at that moment.

And the last thing he showed his sister was his smile. He had been smiling all the time, watching his sister leave. In fact, the smile at that glance were ten thousand years old.

His smile was actually very miserable

His smile was actually very pale.

He smiled, but in fact, he was also very disappointed.

He smiled, maybe reluctant to part with her.

When Shen Qing Ci came back, she was like a flying bird, because someone got the news that Fourth Prince had let go of the Huang Clan. How could she not be happy?

She wanted to tell her brother about it. Well, her brother had helped her so much this time. She would not hate him in the future. She would not hate him for killing her mother. She would be better to him in the future.

As a result, when she went back, she saw that there were white couplets hanging at home. Who was dead?

Staring at the couplets, she didn’t like them by instinct. Of course, she wanted to leave. But after a while, she turned around and walked back to her own yard. This was her home. She was the legitimate daughter of the general’s house, and she was the noblest one in this house. Why should she be afraid? Why couldn’t she go home? Besides, who was dead had nothing to do with her?

However, the more she walked, the more frightened she became. These couplets were in their yard, not in the main courtyard.. Now, except for her Eldest Brother, sister and herself, there was no other master in their courtyard.

Only when the master is dead can such couplets be hanged. They can’t hang all of them if a servant died.

“You are back…”

A faint voice suddenly came, which made her feel cold on her back.

She suddenly looked up and saw Shen Qing Rong standing at the door. She was wearing a plain white dress. She was nineteen years old, but she was unmarried. Her clothes and face were as white as a ghost.

“Why are you so scary?” Shen Qing Ci was frightened. As soon as she saw Shen Qing Rong in white, she came over and pulled her clothes. “Why are you wearing this? Do you want to curse me to death? Don’t think that you are the legitimate daughter of this mansion after I die. Let me tell you, Shen Qing Rong, even if I die, you are just a humble daughter of a concubine that no one wants. “

When she was about to scold again, her face ached, Shen Qing Rong’s hand had already slapped her on her face, which made her stunned.
