Peerless: Auspicious Beast's Star Revival Plan

Chapter 13 Huo Yuqing

Fifty miles to the northwest of Xingluo City, there is a mansion with an area of ​​about [-] mu.

The red walls are solemn and the golden tiles are luxurious. When viewed from a distance in Xingluo City, it is dazzling and charming.

According to legend, this was once the other courtyard of the former royal family of the Star Luo Empire, the Baihu Dai family.

Thousands of years ago, during a crisis of national subjugation in the Star Luo Empire, the Baihu Dai family, who was depleted of talents, abdicated to ensure the complete integrity of the Star Luo Empire, and handed over the throne to the Xu family of the Star Crown lineage.

The new emperor accepted his love and made the Dai family the hereditary grand duke, enjoying wealth forever.

Dai Hao, the current Duke of White Tiger, married the most beloved young daughter of the current Emperor Xingluo, holding a large army in his hand, guarding the border, just like the limelight.

And on the five-zhang-high main gate of the mansion, there are three large characters of Duke's Mansion written impressively.

It's just that no matter how respectable the status of the owner of the Duke's Mansion is, no matter how glamorous the mansion is... In this gorgeous mansion, there are not a few shady and private things.

At this moment, the sky was only dim, and a thin figure crept out from the small door on the north side of the Duke's Mansion.

It was a little girl who looked eleven or twelve years old.

She was just at the age when her height was stretched, so she was not short.But maybe it's because she didn't keep up with her nutrition. She was very thin, and a protruding Adam's apple could even be seen on her slender and white neck.The edges and corners of the bones can almost be seen in a pair of wrists, and there is a horrible black and blue circle on the left wrist.

The girl was wearing a blue cloth that had been washed white by starch, the elbows were carefully patched, the stitches were thin and dense, and she was carrying a small bundle on her back.

A head of rough black long hair was combed into a low ponytail, and the end of the hair was even a little withered and yellow.A small face has not yet opened, but the delicate features have begun to show the potential of beauty.

The most beautiful were her eyes—the dark blue pupils were half covered by curled eyelashes, as if hiding the stars.

However, her somewhat sickly pale complexion and her bloodless, dry and peeled lips took a lot of points off her appearance.

The little girl's face was a little panicked, and she turned her head every step, as if there was some man-eating monster hidden in the duke's mansion behind her, and it would pounce on her at any moment, bite and devour her.

She followed the path and climbed up the hillside on the side of the Duke's Mansion, and finally stopped in a clearing in the forest.

"Mom, I'm here to see you." The girl said softly.

There was a low grave.

A small soil bag surrounded by some well-picked stones.A roughly carved wooden tombstone was inserted in front of the grave, with the words "Tomb of Mother Huo Yun'er" written on it.

The signature is three words - Huo Yuqing.

This is the name of the little girl.

Her mother, Huo Yun'er, was a personal maid who grew up with Duke Baihu, and her father was Duke Baihu.

Logically speaking, her name should be Dai Yuqing, and she is a concubine from the Duke's Mansion... But Duke Baihu forgot about their mother and daughter for many years, and in the end he didn't even give Huo Yuner a title.

It just so happened that Huo Yun'er and Dai Hao had a sliver of childhood sweetheart affection, which was different from those concubines who came back hastily.Among the women in Duke Baihu's backyard, Huo Yun'er was the one the wife hated the most.

In the past ten years, the border was tight, and the Duke of Baihu had been stationed at the border. The Duchess poured all her hatred for her husband's infidelity on Huo Yun'er.

If it wasn't for the consideration of the face of the duke's mansion, the duchess would have sent Huo Yun'er and her daughter to the kiln even if it cost them money.

Cutting off the necessities of life is commonplace, implying that servants torture Huo Yuner's mother and daughter is even more commonplace.

The last straw that broke the camel's back was put down by the second son of the Duke's Mansion, Dai Huabin.It was he who ordered his subordinates to beat the mother and daughter in the firewood room. Huo Yun'er was seriously injured in order to protect her daughter.

She was already in poor health and struggled for a week in the woodshed where there was little medicine and medicine, and then she passed away, leaving her helpless daughter alone in this world.

On the day of her mother's death, the girl gave up the surname "Dai" and adopted her mother's surname Huo.

Huo Yuqing carefully picked up the dead leaves around the tomb, and pulled out all the weed seedlings that had just sprouted before sitting down next to the tombstone.

Under the iron-gray sky, the morning mist has not dissipated, and the ground is wet and cold, like ice.But she just flinched, hugged her little burden tightly, and didn't have any intention of standing up.

"Mom, I'm leaving the Duke's Mansion." After a while, she confided again, "I know you said before you left that the world outside the Duke's Mansion is very dangerous for a helpless little girl like me. No matter what, I will stay in the mansion until I grow up. But...but I..."

There was a tremor in her soft and soft voice, as if something was preventing her from speaking.

"...I killed someone." She mustered up her courage before saying these four words.

Like a frightened bird trying to hide under its mother's wings, the girl shrunk her body, lowered her head, and leaned against the tombstone.There was deep anxiety and fear in a pair of dark blue eyes.

"A servant who has just entered the mansion... I heard Mrs. Zhang say that he is related to the steward next to my wife, and he is not a good person... Mrs. Zhang asked me to stay away from him..."

She spoke slowly, her voice was soft and quick, and she was still trembling, afraid that others would hear it clearly, "But he came to me... I gave it to Mrs. Zhang after I washed the clothes, and Mrs. Zhang gave me a copper soul coin and a Wotou... I went back to the yard...he was standing in the yard."

"He smiled strangely... I was scared, I didn't know what he was going to do, and then he came to grab my hand." Huo Yuqing's slender fingers shrank uncomfortably, and then tugged at her sleeves to cover the dark spots on her wrists. Qing, "He pulls my hair, I can't earn it... I don't know what to do... It's scary."

"I carry a white tiger dagger with me...it's the one you gave me, mom. I...I cut him open." At this moment, her voice was already trembling, and she recalled what happened last night. It was as if warm blood had splashed on his face.

"I don't know what's going on...the dagger glowed white, and then he broke it off like that." She sobbed as if breaking down, "It's so scary, it's all blood, it's all blood..."

The girl sobbed for a while, then raised her sleeve and rudely wiped the tears from her face.

"Mom, don't worry, mom." She said in a hoarse voice, "I'm just crying, I won't be afraid. Don't worry about me. I understand, if I am taken away by that person, I will meet you Terrible thing to say, and I won't regret killing him. Don't worry about me."

The girl repeatedly emphasized incoherently, telling the mother in another world not to worry, and seemed to be persuading herself.

In the end, the panic and uneasiness on her face was wiped away by her sleeve along with the tears, and there was only firmness in her dark blue eyes.

The sun has also climbed higher, and the sky is no longer as gloomy as before.The light golden sunlight shone on the ground, and the shadows of the whirling trees danced slightly.

A light gray swift, a circle larger than the other swallows, landed on the branch.

"That person may regard me as the daughter of another servant, and think he can bully me casually." Huo Yuqing said in a hoarse voice, "Although my situation may be worse."

"I threw him into the well next to the woodshed." The girl said softly. "He's not much heavier than two pots of wet clothes."

　Holly!

　　Wuhu!Perfect wife!
