Chapter 2 The villain

Outside the screen window, the starry sky is high and cold, and a few sparse and faint stars hang on the vast sky, making it look very lonely.

Chen Rong took his eyes away from the bronze mirror and stared at the night sky. She stared at her eyes intently for a long time before she leaned back, closed her eyes, and waited for time to pass.

These few nights, every time she woke up from a nightmare past, she always sat like this until dawn. It was not for nostalgia, nor because the hatred was too strong, but because she liked to sit quietly like this, looking up at the sky, and experiencing the surprise of being a human being over and over again!

Slowly, a mist appeared in the world, and slowly, the voices of one or two people rang in the fresh morning sky.

The sound started with only one or two, gradually becoming more and more, gradually, the sound turned noisy.

The footsteps sounded, and the gentle and concerned middle-aged female voice came last night, "Arong, has it collapsed?"

Chen Rong stood up and said, "Get up."

The middle-aged female voice hurriedly said, "Go forward and wash Arong."

A "squeak" sounded, a maid holding a basin walked into the room, and the middle-aged woman also came behind Chen Rong and combed her long hair.

The middle-aged woman had a round face, her eyes were very small, and there was a sense of peace and kindness between her curved eyebrows and eyes. She looked at Chen Rong carefully and said, "The servants are all preparing and can go on the road at any time."

Chen Rong said 'eun', and the middle-aged woman felt relieved when she saw her face calmly, and said, "Arong, this place is no longer a good place, and it must be moved south. Our Chen family is better than the major families. After all, we have branches in all parts of the south."

Chen Rong said 'e'.

The middle-aged woman saw that she should be light and her expression was not as dazed as the previous two days. She was overjoyed and said, "Arong, do you understand? You shouldn't have nightmares tonight."

Chen Rong nodded.

At this time, a middle-aged man's voice came from outside, "Arong, you have your clothes ready, when will you set off?"

Listening to the familiar voice of the man, Chen Rong suddenly asked, "What day is today?"

The middle-aged man was stunned and replied: "Xin Chou Ri."

Xin Chou Day? Chen Rongteng stood up, Xin Chou Day! Yes, in the middle of the night three days later, she ushered in the first disaster in her life.

In the surprise of the middle-aged woman, she slowly sat down again, "Are you Uncle Wu?"

The middle-aged man outside the door was even more surprised. He replied loudly: "Yes, I am Uncle Wu. Arong, what's wrong with you?" As he said that, he pushed open the door directly, and a face with a thin and pale face with a few rat whiskers sparsely left on his jaw appeared in front of Chen Rong.

While Chen Rong was washing, it was really rude that a man, a man, pushed the door open so carelessly.

Chen Rong looked up at the middle-aged man. Only when she was born again could she see the hidden viciousness from this gentle and kind-hearted face!

The person in front of me was originally a scholar who was rescued by her father when he was traveling around. He had always been regarded as a friend by his father and was raised respectfully in the mansion, and he also asked her to be called "Uncle" with the servants in the mansion!

But this person actually colluded with thieves and broke into the door the night before she was about to move south, robbed her family and ran away.

If her father hadn't kept some gold secretly in the study, she wouldn't have been to the south in her previous life and would have become a beggar long ago!

Chen Rong stared at Uncle Wu and said slowly: "Depart in the afternoon!"

"What? Departure in the afternoon? Why don't you wait a few more days?"

Chen Rong sneered in secret, she yelled with a calm face, "I said, I'll leave in the afternoon."

After all, she was still young and had no power. The middle-aged man looked behind Chen Rong and shouted, "Ping Yu, after you talk to A Rong, what a big deal is it to move south? How can you just leave?" At this point, he remembered something, raised his voice and said loudly, "What's more, A Rong, you have had a nightmare for several nights. Since you are not feeling well, why don't you take two more days off?"

The round-faced woman hurriedly stepped forward and said to Chen Rong, "Girl, Uncle Wu's words are reasonable..." As soon as she spoke, Chen Rong interrupted and shouted, "I said, I'll leave in the afternoon!"

Uncle Wu was refuting that when he met her dark eyes, for some reason, he shivered and said something that was about to blurt out, and he was hoarse in his throat.

Chen Rong withdrew his gaze and ordered: "Bring the door."

Uncle Wu was stunned and realized that she was talking about herself. He closed the door in shock and felt uneasy: What's wrong with Arong? Such a big change?

As soon as Uncle Wu left, Chen Rong came to the study room. The study room was filled with thick bamboo slips and silk books. In the past, after his family fortune was robbed by Uncle Wu and thieves, she was desperate and remembered that her father once said: If an accident occurs, you can go to the study room to look at it. After she cried and fought wildly in the study room, she accidentally discovered that there were a large amount of gold leaves hidden in these bamboo slips and silk books. It was these gold leaves that made her survive in a desperate situation.

Outside, there were endless sounds of "ding ding pounding pounding" and that was the servants and slaves who were busy cleaning up. Now that the yards are almost finished, they are about to transfer to the study room.

The voices of those people, the noise, and the clamor of the rough men, were so beautiful. Why didn't she notice it before?

Chen Rong slowly knelt down on the collapse table, opened a scroll of silk book with his own hands, but listened to the vibrant voices in his ears.

I don’t know how long it took, but a loud scream came from outside the door, “Arong Ke is in the study? Old Sun is here.”

It’s Uncle Wu’s voice!

Chen Rong's face sank: He still doesn't give up, even Mr. Sun has moved here!

Uncle Wu screamed again, "Ping Yu, is A Rong in the study? After Mr. Sun knew that she was in poor health, he came to visit. Tell A Rong quickly and let her go out to greet him."

Chen Rong stood up and responded crisply before Ping Yu answered, "Here you come." After that, she pushed open the door of the study.

At the garden gate, there was an old man with pale hair and beard standing. He was Mr. Sun. Before leaving, her father instructed Mr. Sun to take care of Chen Rong. In front of this old man, she had no right to speak!

Chen Rong glanced at Uncle Wu, who was proud of his face, and bowed his head, "I've seen Mr. Sun."

Old Sun nodded, and he walked to Chen Rong and looked up and down at her, "I heard that you have nightmares every night, have you ever hired a doctor and a witch?"

Chen Rong shook his head and replied, "No."

Old Sun frowned. Uncle Wu saw this and immediately said to the side: "Brother-in-law, please persuade Arong quickly. She said that she would set off after noon. How far is the journey to the south? If something goes wrong, wouldn't it be too late to regret?"

Old Sun nodded, he glanced at Pingwu standing behind Chen Rong, and said, "Pingwu, invite your girl into the room and set off again in three days."

"yes!"

Mr. Sun turned to the servants on both sides and reminded him: "This matter should not be a joke. You should be optimistic about Arong. If she is stubborn again, she will lock her up!"

"yes!"

"You haven't invited both the witch and the doctor?"

"yes!"

Mr. Sun's orders came one after another, and as soon as he finished speaking, he swung his sleeves and turned around and left.
