Seven Unfortunate Lifetimes Chapter 3 (1/2)

Chapter 3

The wheel of fate began to turn that day. Last night I dreamed about Emperor Li excitedly writing at his desk with a brush. I felt like a meat hanged on a bamboo stick, where people applied soy sauce on with a brush……

I pulled the quilt over my face to let those ugly images disappear. When I felt like I was out of breath, I lifted the quilt and sat up.

No! I can’t surrender to fate. This is a waste of the evil me. This is a waste of my memories my previous life in immortal realm. I need to fight against fate.

I bit my finger, pulled a long face and thought about the future. Is there a way to get rid of that Chu Kong b.a.s.t.a.r.d?

Suddenly, a light flashed in my mind. The play that Emperor Li is writing is seven lifetimes of love. If in any of those lifetimes one of us died early and reincarnated early while the other person waits for his demise……. If that is the case, we don’t have to avoid each other; we’ll naturally miss each other in every lifetime.

When I figured this out I ran to the mirror and gave the me in the mirror a kiss.

The ident.i.ty as the daughter of the prime minister gives me a justified reason to be lazy. I don’t want to give up on this kind of life. Then…

I looked at the me in the mirror and laughed: “Dear Lu Hai Kong, for our happiness in the next six lifetimes, can you go die, ah?”

After days of detailed planning, I excitedly ran to the General’s mansion. Now that there’s no one, it’s a good opportunity.

Lu Hai Kong lay calmly in the cradle. Compared to a few days ago, he’s more beautiful now. Soft white skin, long thick lashes. I couldn’t help myself from poking his pouting lips. He woke up from my poking. He looked at me with those big watery eyes. My heart quivered and I stood there shocked.

“Ah!”

He yelled and with his small hand full of saliva, he pulled at my braid.

“Ah!”

He pulled so hard that my scalp hurts. It made me think of the red dressed, hateful b.a.s.t.a.r.d.

I kept myself calm and put my hand around the child’s neck. The soft and fragile feeling made me think that I don’t need to use strength; touching it a few times and it’ll break. He’s after all not that rough skinned young man…

I was soft-hearted again, when I looked at his innocent eyes. How can this poor thing know why I’m holding his neck? He lets my braid go and grabbed my finger instead. Like last time he brought my finger to his mouth. Sucking on it like it’s the happiest thing in the world.

He kicked to show his excitement.

I also wanted to kick. Little brat, don’t be so sweet ah! With you like this, how can this big sister bear to kill you, ah?

I was fighting the inter-turmoil in me when the wet nurse and a group of people came in.

“Oh, why is the daughter of the prime minister here?”

“I…”

I coughed to calm myself.

“I came to look at my little husband.”

Everyone laughed. Suddenly the wet nurse caught me off guard: “We’re going to bath the little young master now. Miss Song, do you also want to stay?”

“No. I’ll…”

I took my hand back and Lu Hai Kong began to cry. I looked at him. After a while he cried harder. Tears were streaming down. He looked so miserable that I couldn’t help but look in horror.

I was scared out of my wits. In Heaven I haven’t seen anyone cry so miserably. Subconsciously I put my finger back in his mouth. The moment my finger was in his mouth, he quieted down. Laying there with a happy face.

The wet nurse smiled and said: “This is good. Now the young master can’t be without Miss Song.”

I looked at these foolish humans.

Next, I was forced to see the naked Lu Hai Kong bathing. I didn’t get any dirty thoughts. It rather looks like aunt was.h.i.+ng pigskin. No matter what, I wasted an opportunity to kill Lu Hai Kong, just because of my soft heart.

Every day from then on, I went to the General’s mansion. I saw Lu Hai Kong every day but the wet nurse and the servants are always by his side. They didn’t even give me a chance.

I was wondering if I should let the child grow a little. Then I can go play with him alone and get rid of him.

This wait took five years. Every time I looked at Lu Hai Kong, my eyes will s.h.i.+ne with a hidden meaning. Seeing me looking like that the General and the General’s wife will joke: “Has this child been poisoned with Hai Kong’s poison? She’s always here. No need to rush. You’ve gotten a life time with each other.”

A life time is too long. I only want to seize a day and get rid of him. Then I’ll be at ease.

When I was ten years old, I was really wild.

Father Song gave up on me completely. He doesn’t care about what I do anymore. It has its advantages. I even got the name 混天魔王 (hun tian mo w.a.n.g, the ruckus devil) in the capital.

On Lu Hai Kong’s fifth birthday, I finally found a method to fool the wet nurse and the servants. I sneaked out the General’s mansion with Lu Hai Kong. I realized that there isn’t many opportunity in the General’s mansion. But there are many opportunities outside. Like the edge of a slippery river, a fall from a tree. I can create and opportunities everywhere. I rubbed my hands in excitement. Lu Hai Kong was following me closely.

“Yun Xiang, let’s go back. Father said that there are many people outside. It’s unsafe.”

From young, this little child has been taught to follow the rules. When he goes out, there’s always a bunch of people with him. He’s never been outside alone. Seeing all those people at the market, he tensed.
