Chapter 260: Fake Son (Extra)
After being driven out of the Li Mansion's servants, Mrs. Wang and Wang Zhilan had no choice but to move to a dilapidated temple. They could no longer pay the rent and now had to live on the streets.
Life on the streets is not easy. The environment in the dilapidated temple is bad, dark and damp, and there are both human and mermaids there, and you will often be harassed by homeless people.
During the day, the two would go out to look for work, hoping to earn some money to support their lives.
They have tried being street vendors, doing laundry, and even performing on the streets, but their income is meager and their lives are still very difficult.
When night falls, the mother and daughter will sit in the corner of the dilapidated temple and share the day's harvest.
Not long after, news of Wang Jincheng's death came. He had lived a life of luxury for many years and was simply unable to adapt to the hardships of hard labor. He died of illness just a month later.
Mrs. Wang didn't even have time to be sad, because after she and her daughter woke up in the dilapidated temple, they found that they had been sold to Qihonglou.
Thanks to the daughter's excellent piano skills, she wrote out some music scores and gave them to the madam, which temporarily bought the safety of the two.
But she was extremely anxious. The music score would run out one day. What would the two of them do then?
After Wang Zhilan finished writing down the music score, she was stunned. This was what she had heard in her dream. If the music score was real, why did other things change?
It was not until several months later, when the emperor passed away, that she felt that her dream must have been true.
That day, Wang Zhilan cried and laughed, and kept asking questions to her mother.
"Why is this happening? It shouldn't be like this."
"Li Nanxi must be a woman. Why isn't she a woman? She is obviously a woman."
"Why did Daddy die? He should have gone to the capital, he was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."
"Where is our big house? The yard where I live is as big as a horse farm."
"Why did my brother die? He passed the imperial examination and wanted to earn an imperial decree for mother. This shouldn't have happened."
"My brother married the daughter of the Duke's Mansion, and I married Zhao Yu."
"Why didn't Zhao Yu come to propose marriage?"
"why?"
Wang Zhilan has gone crazy. There are two memories in her mind. She is lost in the memory of her dream and refuses to come out, questioning her soul every day.
These questions were destined to have no answers, so she went crazy.
Now, Mrs. Wang no longer had any bargaining chips to save the two of them, and Mrs. Wang and Wang Zhilan fell completely into the hands of the madam.
Although Mrs. Wang is old, she has taken good care of herself and is still able to receive customers.
Although Wang Zhilan was crazy, she was beautiful. After she was given medicine, she became a sleeping beauty and was even more popular.
The two spent a hellish life in Qihonglou. One night, Wang Zhilan suddenly woke up.
Wang Zhilan didn't want to live like this anymore, so she decided to end it all, even in the most extreme way.
Mrs. Wang was awakened by her daughter from her sleep, and Wang Zhilan told her her plan.
The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried, and then Wang Zhilan began to act.
She found some wine and lamp oil and sprinkled them in every corner of Qihonglou. Then she locked herself and Lady Wang in the room and set the curtains on fire.
The fire spread rapidly, and soon the entire Qihong Building was engulfed in flames.
The firelight illuminated the night sky and the faces of the mother and daughter. They smiled at each other in the firelight, as if they saw the hope of freedom.
The fire was started at midnight and burned all day and all night until the entire Qihong Building was burned down.
The madam and others panicked and tried to put out the flames, but to no avail.
The fire was so intense that they could only watch the Qihong Building burn to ashes. The madam was furious but could do nothing, as the person who had lit the fire was already dead.
When the fire subsided, people found the bodies of Mrs. Wang and Wang Zhilan in the ruins.
They hugged each other tightly and turned into bones in the flames.
