The old concubine in the Song Mansion died, and this didn't even cause a ripple. The servants reported it calmly, and the old lady, after listening, symbolically asked her husband, Old Master Song, how this old concubine should be handled.
Old Master Song, with eyes a bit dim due to age, pondered for a while before remembering that he still had a long-lived concubine living in some corner until now!
Amused for a moment in his heart, Old Master Song didn't care much and waved his hand casually, "Just a concubine, find a simple coffin and bury her." After saying this, he turned around with his hands behind his back to look at his newly acquired thrush, which was quite interesting, with a pleasant song!
Since Old Master Song didn't care, the old lady cared even less about a concubine who had once divided her husband's attention. She casually instructed the servants to go to the accounts room to retrieve twenty silver pieces and then find a place to bury her, no matter where!
If the masters didn't care, then the servants cared even less. The two servants handling the matter were quite unscrupulous, directly pocketing the twenty silver pieces, then wrapping her body up in a tattered mat and carelessly dumped it in a random burial ground, too lazy to even dig a hole!
The two accomplices left happily, each with ten pieces of silver, discussing to first spend the unexpected wealth on a drink, then maybe buy something for their home.
As dusk fell, a few emaciated wild dogs with glowing green eyes surrounded the place, tore open the mat wrapping the corpse, and began to feast on it!
Qin Shuangshuang followed her own corpse all the way, drifting to the random burial ground, and upon seeing her body exposed to the wilderness, being torn apart by wild dogs, she couldn't help but laugh maniacally!
Her whole life had been a joke, one that no one cared to watch! From birth to death, nobody ever cared! It was truly ridiculous!
Qin Shuangshuang laughed so hard that it bent her forward and backward, laughed until it was heart-wrenching! Even though she was just a soul body, she laughed out two lines of bloody tears, resembling a fierce ghost!
"Are you unwilling? Do you want to change your fate?"
Just as Qin Shuangshuang laughed, a cold voice suddenly reached her ears, startling her. But then she remembered she was already dead, so there was nothing to be afraid of and she relaxed.
Looking around, she didn't see anyone, so Qin Shuangshuang thought she might be too old, and was hallucinating?
Before Qin Shuangshuang could finish wondering, she suddenly felt the world spinning around her. The scene instantly changed from a desolate and eerie burial ground to an ocean of blood-red flowers.
A stunningly beautiful woman with an indifferent expression stood before her! The woman wore a luxurious gown of black embroidered with gold patterns, the long hem gracefully spread out behind her, appearing both magnificent and cool.
Qin Shuangshuang didn't know how to describe the woman in front of her, she only felt that never in her life had she seen such a breathtaking, commanding, formidable woman!
Qin Shuangshuang never knew that a woman could possess a powerful presence that she had never even felt in men!
This made Qin Shuangshuang unconsciously yearn, if only she could be like this! If only she could be like this, she wouldn't have suffered a lifetime of bullying, ending up being tossed as a wrapped corpse to be devoured by wild dogs in a burial ground!
"Are you unwilling? Do you want to change your destiny? Do you want to live again?"
This time Qin Shuangshuang heard clearly, the cold and indifferent voice belonged to the powerful, stern woman in front of her.
The woman's words made Qin Shuangshuang freeze for a moment, live again? Unconsciously she recalled her own life, being a girl she was never expected, always having endless chores awaiting her at a young age!
Because of a pretty face, Qin Shuangshuang's life was more painful than other women, being sold by her family, forced to be a concubine by her master, given away several times as a gift, and even her peaceful old age was short of clothing and food, dying in such a pitiful end!
Her whole life, she suffered from the pain and cold eyes of the world, such a desperate life to relive again! In that case, she would rather vanish into ashes!
Qin Shuangshuang's face twisted in pain, permanent resentment in her heart!
The woman on the other side sighed gently, waved her hand lightly towards her, a flash of sunset glow passed by, and Qin Shuangshuang felt her mind suddenly clear and calm, all the resentment and pain seemed to be soothed!
"Letting you relive is not to make you experience pain again, I will give you enough power to protect yourself! Innate huge strength, eidetic memory, these can give you the chance to reverse your life!"
But it's not enough to change destiny with just these, the premise is that your heart must become strong first, otherwise even if you have great power, you can only be a tool in others' hands. Remember, destiny is in your own hands!"
Not sure if it was Qin Shuangshuang's illusion, she felt the woman's voice was not as cold as before but had a trace of compassion and warmth, giving a bit of warmth to her heart that had been frozen for so long!
No longer dominated by resentment, Qin Shuangshuang was somewhat moved by the woman's proposal! Although in the pain she wished to vanish and feel nothing, even ants cling to life; if not for attachment to life, she wouldn't have endured such pain to continue living!
To be able to live another life, to have power, how could Qin Shuangshuang not want it! But having been through much, she never believed that pies would fall from the sky!
"This... Fairy, you give me so many benefits, but what price do I have to pay?"
In the woman's eyes flashed a hint of approval. After all, someone who is not overly greedy and knows propriety is always more likable. The woman said lightly, "I want your heart of faith, from now on, you must willingly revere me as your only belief, establishing a contract of faith with me for eternity!"
Qin Shuangshuang was stunned, she didn't know what faith was, but if this woman could let her go back and change her destiny, she was willing to pay whatever price!
"I am willing to believe in you, just how do I sign a contract with you?"
"These things you don't need to worry about, once you go back and change your fate, our contract will naturally be completed!"
After speaking, the woman raised her hand and pointed a finger at Qin Shuangshuang, the fingertip emanating a ripple that instantly expanded into a grand array, intricate and beautiful patterns carrying a mysterious color, instantly entering Qin Shuangshuang's spirit, and Qin Shuangshuang lost consciousness...
"After eating so many good things, what an ungrateful one, humph! Just bore a worthless daughter! Three years of no children, finally pregnant and it's still a girl! Can't produce good fruits in salty land, should not have let Xiao Er marry a useless woman like you in the first place!"
Accompanied by scolding, a low suppressed sobbing sound interruptedly echoed in the ears! Qin Shuangshuang's consciousness struggled anxiously and irritably between half-dream and half-awake, wanting to wake up quickly!
