Chapter 18 - Chapter 18

Deming and Dandan, mother had brought your friends." Dong Daiyu gently caresses her son and daughter. Ignoring the sobbing of the children in the tomb.

Those children huddle together and refrain from crying. Their age is around ten to twelve. Guards are guarding the children. Their eyes are also showing anxious but they are loyal to their madam. Since their madam wants those children to accompany the young master and young miss in the underworld then let her be.

One of the children, cannot stand the fear anymore and shouts, "Why must we accompany Deming and Dandan? It is not our fault!" the others stare at the girl with amazement in their eyes. It gives them courage, "Yeah! We did nothing. I do not want to die! I want to go home! The rest of the children start echoing the same sentence. The guards shout for them to stay silent, Those children were scared once again and sit quietly.

"It is because Deming and Dandan wanted to play with all of you, they sneak out from the residence and fall from the wall. It is all your fault." Dong Daiyu said it with a cold voice. She approaches the children and signals the guard to bring a big jar. The children are forced to form a line and each of them is given a cup. The guard pours the liquid inside the jar into the cup.

" Madam! Do not do it, madam! Please! Children do not drink the poison!" An old servant rushes into the tomb. The children hear what the old servant said, quickly throws the cup to the ground. The earth sizzle and corrodes. Some of the children went limp seeing it.

"I do not care! Those children will accompany my children! It is their fault! Their fault!" Dong Daiyu goes crazy and takes the ladle and tries to sprinkle the children with poison. Suddenly the tomb is dark. Dong Daiyu startle and stop sprinkling the poison. She can see her own body but cannot see anything beyond. It is totally dark. If the lantern is turn off it will not be this dark and if it is really dark why can she sees her own body. What happens? Fear grabs Dong Daiyu's heart.

"Dong Daiyu ask yourself whether it is the children's fault?" Li Zian with purple hair and pupils stands directly in front of Dong Daiyu.

"Who...Who are you!?" Dong Daiyu trembles and trips down when she retreats backward. Her buttock crash to the ground. Her face is pale.

"I am asking you, it is the children's fault that your children die? You know it very well Dong Daiyu."

The scenery around them changes and it shows when two children sneak out and climb a tall wall using a ladder. The two children, one boy, and one girl awkwardly try to climb the ladder. As soon as they reach the top a strong gush of wind startled them and they lose their balance before falls and hit their heads on the pavement. It is a quick death for both of them.

"No! Deming! Dandan! Why? Why can't you stay at home?" Dong Daiyu cover her face using her palm and crying. Li Zian put her hand on Dong Daiyu's shoulder and said, "It is nobody's fault. They are fated to die that day."

It is easy for you to say! I am the one that loses my children! MY CHILDREN! You do not understand anything!" Dong Daiyu shouted at Li Zian, "Slap" Li Zian slaps Dong Daiyu, "It is alright to kill other people's children?" Li Zian feels a rage inside her heart. Something is trying to get out.

Li Zian holds Dong Daiyu's face, "You are right, I do not understand. But can you understand?" Li Zian's eyes stare into Dong Daiyu's eyes. Inside that black purple pupils, Dong Daiyu feels like her soul is being sucked away. She is trembling and wants to move her eyes but Li Zian holds her head firmly.

"Ya Qin! This is what happens to all of your children. Ha...Ha...Ha." The cries of a baby echo in the room. The baby is being slaughtered alive and then being thrown into the boiling blood.

"Tsk!Tsk! This is the man that you choose. So, ugly." A man is screaming and rolling on the ground because of fire on his body. No matter how much please she made, she, Chen Ya Qin can only sees her beloved man and child die in front of her.

"Can you understand?" Li Zian asked. Her resentment is pouring out. Dong Daiyu pushes Li Zian and crawls backward, " It is not the same."

"What is not the same?" I lose my children. You also lose your children. What is it that is not the same? You should understand." Li Zian smile like a maniac person.

"Not the same." Dong Daiyu keeps repeating the sentence and sits there dumbfounded. Meanwhile, Ling Min Zhe is in a carriage with Dong Fai. Dong Fai is currently sleeping and having a weird dream. He is currently his main wife Dong Daiyu. Dong Fai did not really like Dong Daiyu, he only married her because of his grandfather's arrangement but he still respects her or so he thought.

He seems to become his main wife Dong Daiyu. He wakes up early every day and waits for his mother only to receive criticism from her and taunt from other concubines. His mother seems to be very bias towards him, her daughter-in-law. His concubine has such a sweet voice right now is insulting him. Then, he comes. It is very weird to see oneself from another perspective. Is he always this cold towards his main wife? He only utters a few words like there is gold in his mouth. He ignores his main wife and flirts with his concubine. Is that him?

The dream continues for a long time, Dong Fai feels tired of his life but luckily his children lift his spirit. Suddenly, he found out that the children sneak out and search for them, only to find their bodies. He is in shock but his real self comes and lashes it out at her. Blaming her for being incompetent! Why are you blaming me? Then, he proceeds with kidnaping the children to accompany his children. At that time, Dong Fai wakes up, he looks left and right, he notices that he is in the carriage.

"Stop! Where are we going?" Dong Fai feels like his dream is very real.

"We are going to the new restaurant the Drunken Mist, sir." The servant answered.

"Turn around and go to the Dong Family tomb. Hurry!" The servant hurriedly turns around and speeds towards the tomb.

At the Dong Family tomb, many people gather there.

"Please my child is in there."

"Our children did nothing wrong!"

These people were unable to get near the tomb. Mothers are crying and screaming. The fathers tried their best to outsmart the guards to save their children. The yamen turn blind on this matter because the Dong family is very respected in the city.

Dong Fai's carriage arrives at the tomb and he hurriedly enters the tomb, " Dong Daiyu do not do stupid things!" He sees his wife sits on the floor while muttering "not the same" nonstop. Dong Fai hugs his wife and when Dong Daiyu sees her husband, she seems to found a safe place and faint. Dong Fai tells the guards to return all the children unscathed to their parents and give some compensation to them.

"What did you do to Dong Daiyu? She seems so scared." Ling Min Zhe asked.

"Nothing. She already forgets about it." Li Zian shrugged her shoulders. Ling Min Zhe and Li Zian walkout from the tomb and see two sweet children, Deming and Dandan.

"Go on now. Do not linger in the world of the living." Li Zian rushed the two children. The children bow and giggle before disappear. The resentment lingers at the tomb gradually disappears when the children were returned to their parents. The resentment on Dong Daiyu is still high but with her husband by her side she probably is alright.

"Bloom my sweet flower, bloom. La...La..La." A young man walked out from a dilapidated house. In the house, a teenage boy sleeping.

Well, in an expensive inn, Ling Min Zhe is nagging at Li Zian. While Li Zian is laying down on the bed, Zhong is sitting by her side and messaging her forehead.

"That is why I told you to use the Gate to travel but you insist on traveling in a carriage to see the scenery. In these two months, we are constantly traveling with a lack of rest. How could your body stands the vibration of the carriage and properly rest? Do not say you are trained. I also train and have higher cultivation than you but I still feel exhausted." Then, please imagine the concern and the possibility of other nagging come from Ling Min Zhe.
