Xinzheng, Nancheng, Zuosima Mansion

The night breeze gently blew Mrs. Hu's emerald green and light dress. She stroked the hair around her ears with her fingertips and looked up at the bright stars in the sky, her eyes filled with sadness.

At this time in the past, she should have been in the theater.

Her sister is Hu Meiren, the current concubine of the King of Han. She has a distinguished status, and her status in the harem is only lower than that of Lady Pearl, who is known as the "Uncrowned Queen".

But no matter how noble Hu Meiren's status is, she has never forgotten the feelings between the sisters and the common hobby between them - watching theater.

(ps: There is no drama in the Warring States Period, but... it is the world of the Qin Dynasty after all, and the plot of the anime is like this, so don't mess with it)

Every three days, Hu Meiren would send a carriage and escort to pick up Mrs. Hu to go to the theater to watch a play together, which was very considerate. Liu Yi was often busy with official duties and couldn't get away, so he simply didn't ask much. After all, even Han Wang An was there.

Without asking much about Hu Meiren's affairs, he just allowed the sisters to get together and reminisce about old times.

Liu Yi was unwilling to go home these two days. From the housekeeper's words, it was easy to tell that Liu Yi was a little dissatisfied with her indifference over the years and was spending time outside among the flowers.

She hated places like Zilanxuan, but she didn't show that she cared much.

Because in the final analysis, she and Liu Yi were just a formal union. She did not love Liu Yi in the first place. Although she would fulfill her obligations as a wife, she could not show any sincere emotions towards Liu Yi.

It was just that her family was ruined and she had nowhere to go, and she was separated from her sister at that time. Liu Yi took in the lonely girl. Out of gratitude, she did not reject Liu Yi's advances, so the sadness in her eyes could not be due to her husband's neglect.

"Could it be...that his ghost...is really back?"

Mrs. Hu's hands were hidden in her emerald green sleeves, and she held a piece of crystal clear red jade tightly in her hands.

It was a pendant tied with golden silk thread. It was bright red in color but slightly transparent. You could clearly see the interlaced lines like blood lines in it.

Its color is like fire and its blood lines are like rain, so it is called Fire Rain Agate.

Seeing things makes me miss people, but the old friends are long gone.

Many years ago, Fire Rain Agate was a specialty product of her father's fiefdom. All the Fire Rain Agate mines were in that villa. It was also because of this that her father suddenly became rich and became famous for a while.

Yu Gong, and that villa is also called Huoyu Villa.

Huo Yugong was a good man and often took care of and helped the surrounding villagers. However, he was rich and famous, so he always caused trouble.

Three notorious bandits in Baiyue targeted Huoyu Villa, and the world called them Saburo Duanfa.

Saburo Duanfa suddenly sneaked into Huoyu Villa one night, burned the village to the ground with a fire, and killed all the people he owned. He took away all the wealth that Huoyu Gong had accumulated for a long time and agreed that the three of them would share the wealth equally afterwards.

, but died tragically in the mountains at the same time shortly afterwards. The cause of death is unknown.

Since then, the famous Huoyu Villa has completely disappeared from people's sight along with the mountains of treasures. Mrs. Hu and her sister Hu Meiren have lost everything except each other.

Especially Mrs. Hu, who had just given birth to a daughter at that time, suddenly heard that her husband Li Kai "disobeyed military orders" and attacked without permission. She went deep behind enemy lines alone and was surrounded by the Baiyue rebels. The entire right army was annihilated and Li Kai died in the battle.

battlefield.

Before she had time to accept the reality, she met the broken-haired Saburo who came to kill her again. She had to ask the husband of Huoyu Villa to send her infant daughter away on a small road. Sixteen years have passed, and there has been no news about her daughter.

.

She often dreamed of a manor in flames at midnight, with everyone running for their lives. Crying, shouting, and fighting sounds came and went... She was also among the fleeing people.

Suddenly, she heard two different sounds while running away. The former was clear and strong, it was the cry of a baby, her daughter's cry; the latter was shrill and hoarse, it was the scream of a man, it was her.

Husband Li Kai’s wail!

She looked back, but found nothing. She only saw ruins and corpses on the ground.

Every time she woke up from the dream, she could only cry silently. She didn't even dare to wake up her current husband Liu Yi, so she could only hold on to the Fire Rain Agate to relieve her worries.

However, the fire agate that could have relieved her worries has now become a "poison" that makes her miss her ex-husband Li Kai who has been dead for many years even more. Because a few days ago, when she and her sister Hu Meiren were watching a play in the theater,

Saw a person.

It was a stooped stranger in ragged clothes. He had numerous scars on his face and was wrapped in bandages. His gray hair hung down by his ears. The look he looked at himself was weird and complicated.

She had only seen that look in the eyes of one man in her life.

There was a voice in her heart telling herself that it was him!

The scarred man with a stooped back and ragged clothes overlapped with the figure in her heart.

It was the man who had stayed in her dream for sixteen years and never left!

That man wearing strong armor and a bright red cloak, with a heroic appearance and high spirits.

The man who gave birth to a daughter with her!

The man who should have been dead long ago!

That...her brother Li!

"Brother Li..."

Mrs. Hu held the Fire Rain Agate tightly in her hand, and tears continued to fall down her cheeks.

"Madam, she is clearly the wife of Zuo Sima Liu Yi, but she is pronouncing another man's name... Isn't this bad?"

A sound that sounded like a smile but not a smile came from above her head. Mrs. Hu was startled and fell to the ground, her green skirt stained with brown soil.

She looked at the man standing on the tree in horror. He was a young and handsome boy with a joking smile on his face.

"This...this is Zuo Sima Mansion, do you know who I am! If you leave now, I will pretend I didn't see you!"

Although Mrs. Hu was frightened by this young man who broke into the mansion quietly, seeing that handsome face, she missed the once heroic Li Kai even more, and suddenly she couldn't bear to see this young man being raped by the guards of Zuo Sima Mansion.

They took him away and wanted him to retreat on his own.

"Of course I know that this is Zuo Sima's Mansion, and I also know the identity of the madam." The young man in Mrs. Hu's eyes was none other than Zhang Ji. Pointing his toes, Zhang Ji slowly fell from the tree without making a sound, playfully

Looking at the beauty in front of him, "otherwise why would I come to this Zuo Sima Mansion?"

"You..." Mrs. Hu covered her chest and stepped back repeatedly, but she took one step back and then took two steps forward. She quickly shouted, "If you come here again, I will call someone!"

"This is Zuo Sima's Mansion. The guards here are all elites in the army. If they come, you will die without a burial place!"

However, Mrs. Hu's threat had no deterrent effect in Zhang Ji's ears. On the contrary, Mrs. Hu's face, which was slightly pale due to fear, made people feel an inexplicable desire for protection, which made me feel pity for him.

a feeling of.

"oh?"

"Ma'am, are you really going to call someone?"

Zhang Ji chuckled, lightning flashed under his feet, he jumped up to Mrs. Hu's side, put his head on her shoulder, put his lips to the ear that was so red that it seemed to drip blood, and breathed out hot breath,

She whispered: "Madam, you don't want your ex-husband to know that your ex is alive, right?"
