"You heartless people! You must die a terrible death!"
A shrill scream tore through the sky, startling a bird.
It's so noisy.
Tang Lingyu frowned. The wailing in his ear annoyed her, but her eyelids were heavy as if they weighed a thousand pounds. She couldn't lift them no matter how hard she tried.
"Humph, Zhao Suhe, your daughter is a short-lived person. What does it have to do with us?"
Another shrill and harsh voice rang out. Tang Lingyu suddenly opened his eyes, only to see a blue sky.
Where was this place?
Tang Lingyu was taken aback. She had clearly developed a new poison and serum in the laboratory. Then, her colleague had played a dirty trick and snatched away her immune system.
Logically speaking, she should not have been able to see the sky since her poison had sealed her throat. So where was this place?
Before she had time to think about it, her head suddenly sank. A large piece of memory that didn't belong to her was forcibly stuffed in like a movie fragment.
After resting for a minute, Tang Lingyu slowly opened his eyes. The previous confusion had disappeared and was replaced by a cold coldness.
She had time-traveled.
She came to a country that had never been recorded in history. She was a rich royal merchant in the Yue Kingdom, the daughter of the eldest legitimate son of the Tang family, the Tang merchant Lu.
The Tang family had been engaged in business for generations. At that time, the Tang Great-grandfather had cooperated with the previous emperor and sent the late master to the throne with his powerful financial support. As a result, he became an imperial merchant. By the time the original owner's father, the Tang Dynasty's merchant Lu, had been there for three generations.
The Tang merchant was young and promising, and the Tang family was even more prosperous in his hands. It was a pity that he passed away young, leaving his wife and a pair of young children behind.
After he died, his brother, who was born of a concubine, began to show his fangs and take over the foundation that he had worked hard to build.
The original owner was granted the position of co-consort of the second prince, but the eldest uncle used some means to replace the original owner with his own daughter, and even promised the original owner the title of wife of the current dynasty. Moreover, his legs were disabled, and he was as ugly as the evil ghost, the Fourth Prince!
Then the original owner was pushed down the mountain by his eldest uncle's daughter and fell to death.
"Tang Qingping! Do you think I don't know about the good things you've done? You even promised Yu'er to him even though you knew that Fourth Prince had a wife. Now that he has killed Yu'er, I want you to pay with your life!"
A mournful cry rang out. Tang Lingyu came to his senses from the memories of his original owner.
"What do I have to pay for it? Fourth Prince has outstanding military achievements and is the only prince. What's wrong with it? It's just your daughter's luck!"
What a greedy family. Not only did they want the Tang family's inheritance, but they also wanted to kill them all.
Since she was here now, let's have some fun with this family!
Tang Lingyu placed one hand on the coffin and slowly sat up.
"Uncle, who do you think is lucky?"
Tang Lingyu tilted his head and the corners of his mouth curled into a smile that was devoid of warmth. He looked coldly at the short and fat middle-aged man in front of him as he spoke in a faint voice.
As soon as she spoke, the noisy crowd instantly quieted down.
A gust of wind blew, and the white silk in the mourning hall swayed. The candles in front of the coffin were blown out.
Tang Lingyu sat in the coffin and looked at the frightened crowd. He grinned and said, "Uncle, I'm asking you a question. Who are you talking about?"
Tang Qingping's body trembled as he pointed a trembling finger at Tang Lingyu. "You... you, you, you, who are you? Are you a human or a ghost?"
Tang Lingyu crawled out of the coffin slowly and walked toward Tang Qingping step by step. "Uncle, it doesn't matter if I am a human or a ghost. What matters is that you have a ghost in your heart. Don't you know how I died?"
She wore a set of burial clothes, and her face was pale and bloodless. She stood in front of the dark coffin, smiling like an evil ghost.
The woman in luxurious clothes standing beside Tang Qingping screamed. She rolled her eyes and fainted.
Unfortunately, the place where she fell was not very good. There was a stool foot behind her. Her head hit it and she was instantly awakened by the pain.
Tang Lingyu ignored her and walked over to the woman in white. He helped her up and said softly, "Mom, I'm back."
Zhao Suhe came back to her senses from the shock. She reached out and grabbed Tang Lingyu's wrist. Hot tears rolled down her face. "What a good daughter!"
"It's all right, mom. I'm back. I'll take revenge for those who have treated us badly." Tang Lingyu patted Zhao Suhe's back and comforted her.
After that, she cast her cold eyes on Tang Qingping and the woman beside him. "Uncle, Aunt, I'm dead. You're all dressed in colorful clothes. Are you happy that others don't know about it?"
Tang Qingping was almost scared out of his wits. He looked at Tang Lingyu and couldn't say anything for a long time.
"Haha, what's wrong with uncle? Can't he talk? If I hadn't come back, I wouldn't have known how you bullied my mother!"
Tang Qingping swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva and plucked up his courage to take two steps towards Tang Lingyu. When he noticed that she was breathing, his expression changed abruptly. He reached out his hand to hit Tang Lingyu. "You bitch! How dare you scare me!"
Tang Lingyu's face darkened. He pinched his hand and exerted force on his weakest joint, causing Tang Qingping to cover his wrist and scream miserably.
Fang Yi even began to swear. "You're such a short-lived person! How dare you fight with your uncle? Let me tell you, the second prince is going to marry Qing Dai soon! If he breaks your uncle, can you bear it?"
Tang Lingyu smiled contemptuously and straightened his back. "Have you forgotten that I'm just a co-consort? There's not even a single word left in my mind. Furthermore, I'm the wife of Fourth Prince. Even if I kill all of you, what can you do to me? Speaking of which, I really want to thank Eldest Uncle for finding me such a good marriage. After all, compared to being a concubine, I prefer being a wife of a co-consort!"
Although she did not know whether the Fourth Prince was flat or round, according to the memory of the original owner, this cold-faced man was much better than the cunning Second Prince.
Well, except for his wife.
Fang Yi was rendered speechless by her. Her face was as red as a pig's liver, and her trembling fingers pointed at her. "You, you, you..." She stuttered for a long time.
Tang Lingyu looked at the two people in front of him who were like clowns. He sneered and suddenly said in a sharp tone, "Uncle, do you think that after my father dies, the second branch can be at your disposal? Do you really think that there is no one in my second branch?"
"Bah! You are such a b*tch. At least, the Second Prince gave a marriage invitation to my wife. The Fourth Prince doesn't even have a letter. What's more, with the Fourth Prince's appearance, it's hard to say who will die early!" Fang Yi spat and scolded.
Just as Tang Lingyu was about to open his mouth to speak, he heard a deep, icy-cold voice from the door.
"Oh? What do I look like?"
