After I stopped being a lady from a rich family, I fought all over the capital

Chapter 14: Revenge from the Past Life
The look of "as expected" on Zhang Bai's face had not yet faded, and his expression couldn't help but look a little ugly when he heard that.

"any request?"

His tone was low, implying a warning to the other party not to overestimate his own abilities.

The young man knelt on the ground, looking at Liu Yue Niang lying in a pool of blood with a sad expression.

"I want to bury my mother."

Zhang Bai felt disgusted and wanted to warn him.

The boy said firmly, "That's all I ask."

"If you don't agree, just kill me."

"I won't go back with you."

Zhang Bai's face suddenly turned pale, he gritted his teeth and compromised, "No later than 9:00 p.m."

He glared at the young man and said, "Second Young Master, take care of yourself!"

After saying that, he turned around and left with his men.

The boy breathed a sigh of relief.

After leaving Qingtong Lane, the attendants following Zhang Bai couldn't help but ask, "Boss, are we leaving just like this? What about the master..."

The old master Zhang repeatedly instructed that the person must be brought back to the Zhang family and settled before the court was dismissed.

"Of course I can't leave."

Zhang Bai glared at him and said, "Later, you will take your men to guard all the places in and out of Qingtong Lane."

He looked back in the direction he came from: "Smart people won't do stupid things."

Is there anyone who would give up wealth and glory and stick to poverty just for the sake of integrity?
Zhang Bai sneered in his heart, not thinking that this would be possible.
-
Zhang Mansion.

The lights in the main courtyard of the Zhang family's main house have not been turned off yet.

On the big kang by the window, Mrs. Cui, the eldest wife of the Zhang family, had taken off her hairpins and rings, and only had a bun on her head. She was wearing a loose sapphire blue jacket, and she was supporting her head with her hands, unable to stop dozing off due to sleepiness.

"……don't want!"

Cui woke up suddenly, her whole body drenched in sweat.

"Ma'am? Are you okay?"

Zhou, the housekeeper who was serving and fanning the person, heard the sound and hurried over with a warm handkerchief and put it on the person's face. She waited until the person woke up and calmed down before handing him some warm tea.

Cui took two sips of hot tea. The scalding hot tea flowed down her throat, slightly calming her panic.

"Has the person who went to do the work come back?"

Zhou shook her head and replied quietly, "Not yet."

Cui touched her chest and began to panic again.

"Mammy, I feel like something is going to happen. I'm so nervous."

She was extremely uneasy.

She just had that dream again.

In the dream, for some unknown reason, my father-in-law brought back the concubine's son from Qingtong Lane and said that this was her biological son. Chi'er was swapped by that bitch Liu Yue Niang, so he was not her biological son, but Liu Yue Niang's.

But she had been pregnant for ten months and had personally raised Chi'er for more than ten years. How could she not recognize her own biological son?

Mingming Chi'er looks so much like his uncle.

But everyone said that the concubine's son that Liu Yue Niang kept by her side was her biological son.

It was said that when Liu Yue Niang was giving birth, she bribed the midwife who delivered her baby and exchanged her own newborn baby for her own.

It was such a ridiculous thing, but no one doubted it.

She in the dream actually accepted and believed it.

At first, the son who was found was quite respectful and filial to her.

Although the mother and son were not very close, they managed to maintain a loving relationship.

Until, this "real son" who was found won the top spot in the imperial examination, and with the help of the power of the Zhang and Cui families, he rose rapidly all the way to become a high-ranking official and a favorite of the emperor. Finally, his true colors were revealed and he wielded a knife against his own family!
Afterwards, she was killed with a bowl of poison, and the slave girl Liu Yue Niang was welcomed into the house and became the old lady!
She hates it so much!

Fortunately, it was all a dream.

How could my father-in-law and my husband be so foolish as to pass off a concubine's son as the legitimate one, and let a concubine's son who is not even a concubine's son, enter the house and replace Chi'er's position.

Unexpectedly, Chi Er was offended by Her Royal Highness the Princess at the Spring Banquet and was thrown into prison.

When the husband got the news, he hurried back home, but instead of comforting her, he was determined to find a way to rescue their son.

Instead, she should be mentally prepared to keep her mouth shut and treat the bastard born from the concubine as her own child!
Cui just felt angry at that time.

After I calmed down, I was shocked to find that I was sweating. What happened in my dream came true!
In her haste, she only had time to arrange for the servants who came with her as a dowry to guard the house and rush to Qingtong Lane to persuade Liu Yue Niang to die.

No one saw that above Cui's head, there was a wisp of black air that gradually faded away.

"My Lord God, are you still there?"

The young man looked around anxiously in the small yard.

He began to feel uneasy.

He suspected that the sound he just heard was just his illusion.

"Lord God?"

Song Lan jumped down from the tree and walked forward quietly, speaking in a frivolous tone, as if he had heard some funny joke.

"Are you calling me?"

When the young man heard the familiar voice, he was overwhelmed with joy and was about to look up in excitement.

Song Lan raised his foot and stepped on the person's hand that was supporting the ground, crushing it hard just like he did to her in his previous life.

“Ah, God, God…”

The young man lowered his body in pain, his fingers connected to his heart.

"I am not some god."

"I'm not here to redeem you."

The young man didn't believe it and raised his head angrily: "You just said that you would let me see my mother again...Ah!"

Before he could even see the person who was speaking, his head was pressed to the ground. The embroidered shoes outlined with silver thread crushed his right cheek until it seemed as if a layer of oily skin had formed, causing him excruciating pain.

"Yes! I can let you see your mother's ghost."

Song Lan chuckled: "But, what do you want to exchange for it?"

"Tsk! Let me guess - who would have thought that on such a peaceful and ordinary night, the mother and son were chatting by candlelight, talking about what interesting things happened today, earning a few coppers, and imagining when they could save enough money to buy two decent new clothes, but suddenly they were separated by the Yin and Yang."

"How miserable!"

"I guess your mother probably had a lot of last words before she died, but she didn't have time to tell you, right?"

Song Lan's frivolous tone made the young man even more hateful.

He struggled, trying to free himself from under the man's feet.

But he was stepped on even harder and with more force.

"It seems that you don't want to see your mother anymore."

"That's right. You will soon be the legitimate son of the Zhang family. Why would you care about a girl who is eager to be someone's concubine?"

"I just hope that your body will be destroyed as soon as possible so that no one will know your past anymore."

Hearing people insulting his mother, the boy struggled even harder.

But he could never escape from Song Lan's feet.

"As long as you can let me see my mother again, I will do anything you want."

The boy quickly gave in, gritted his teeth and compromised, no longer struggling, and squeezed out a voice with difficulty.

"Oh?"

"I want you to die, is that okay?"

The young man uttered one word with absolute certainty: "Okay!"

Song Lan smiled playfully: "You may not know that the reason why the Zhang family wanted to bring you back and was willing to give you the identity of a legitimate child is because the second young master of the Zhang family is now imprisoned. In order to protect the Zhang family's good reputation for a hundred years, they staged such a drama of a real and fake young master."

"Of course, there is another more important reason. I heard that you have the talent to be the top scholar, but you were framed many times by the second young master of the Zhang family. Unfortunately, you missed the exam and failed to make a name for yourself."

"The Zhang family has been declining for the past two generations, and they are in urgent need of a legitimate son who can support the family, bring honor to the family, and continue the glory of the Zhang family."

"Unfortunately, the younger generation of the Zhang family has not been able to inherit the wisdom of their ancestors in terms of their studies."

"So, you, the concubine's son who was said by the former chief examiner to have the talent to be the top scholar, have become the object of their high hopes."

"As long as you can become the top scholar in the imperial examination someday, the Zhang family will definitely use all their strength to help you rise to the top."

"You gave up such a bright future just to see your mother again."

"Are you willing to?"

Song Lan removed his foot from the person's cheek, squatted down, and gently pulled the person's hair, his voice faint.

"When a person dies, there is nothing left."

The boy's scalp was aching from being pulled, and he gritted his teeth and spoke clearly, word by word: "Let me——"
