t.i.tle: The Dreamer in the Spring Boudoir

Chapter: 017 out of 513 - Nie Sangyu's past (1)

There was a superst.i.tion that if you placed your hands on your solar plexus when falling asleep, you would be more likely to have a nightmare. Ji Man followed the superst.i.tion and as expected, she saw Nie Sangyu in her dream.

She was actually quite beautiful, but there was too much resentment expressed on her face. It made people feel uncomfortable to look at her. Inside the dream's nihility, Nie Sangyu was wearing a long white dress as she endlessly wept. Her drawn-out cries sounded hysterical.

Ji Man stood at the side and looked at her for a long time before walking forward to hand her a handkerchief. ”No one can hear you. It's useless even if you cry to the point of losing your voice.”

Nie Sangyu ignored her and continued her crying that had a magnitude that could alarm the heavens and earth. She pointed her hand in front of her and a screen made of water appeared in the empty s.p.a.ce. The water on the screen turned. When Ji Man turned her head to look, she saw the past.

Nie Sangyu was wearing a red wedding dress as Marquis Moyu welcomed her into the household as his wife. There was a faint smile on Marquis Moyu's face as he held her hand and led her to step over the residence's threshold. Underneath her wedding veil, Nie Sangyu was so happy that tears fell down. On the wedding night, in the bridal room with ornamented candles, the entire night pa.s.sed joyfully. But, Marquis Moyu left the room at dawn over a bed servant's matter.

When Nie Sangyu woke up, she didn't see her husband. She didn't know what had happened until she sent Muxu to ask around. One of Marquis Moyu's accustomed bed servants had fallen into a pond and he had hurriedly gone to see her.

As the main wife, how could she tolerate something like this? Nie Sangyu had an impulsive personality. Taking advantage of a time when Marquis Moyu was out of the residence, she sent away all of his bed servants, without leaving a single one behind.

After this, Ning Yuxuan looked at her differently. Every time they shared a bed, he would light incense and put out the lights before sleeping with her.

The first scene was replaced by another scene. Marquis Moyu was welcoming Qi Siling, a dignified and magnanimous person, into the household. From top to bottom, she was flattering and very likeable. After she entered the household, Marquis Moyu never went to Nie Sangyu's room. Every evening, Nie Sangyu would wait until the oil in the lamp was used up, but the person she was waiting for never came. Nie Sangyu heard from other people that Honored Concubine Siling had a charmingly beautiful face, so she carelessly went to her room to deface Qi Siling's face.

Ji Man face-palmed. Was Nie Sangyu a fool? Why didn't she think before acting? She had been so easily instigated by other people's words. She was remarkably like a good knife that could be borrowed to kill other people.

No wonder Marquis Moyu would suspect that she was going to start a fire just from her standing by a pile of wood. This woman really was capable of doing anything when she was driven crazy.

Marqus Moyu had hurriedly rushed over and stopped Nie Sangyu. This disgust in his eyes deepened.

Spring left and autumn arrived. Marquis Moyu still hadn't come to see her. Nie Sangyu lived in the lonely and cheerless Qiangwei Courtyard and cried every night, but she didn't receive the slightest bit of pity from him.

Later on, Qian Lianxue and Liu Hanyun also entered the household. His eyes no longer had any s.p.a.ce for her. Nie Sangyu learned how be gentle and soft, how to just obediently sit and embroidered robes and handkerchiefs for him, and how to not fuss or cause trouble. But no matter what she did, she couldn't get him to look at her again. And so, she caused trouble and hated him. She ate poison to try to kill herself, but she was saved.
