After Transmigration, Her Whole Family Are Villains

Chapter 64

The morning became cool.

On a rainy day, guests are invited to stay.

It\'s not a day for traveling.

But the servants of the two families still got up early and packed up.

He Chen and Meng Shaoxia\'s rooms faced each other.

Meng Shaoxia, who practiced sword regardless of weather, did not practice sword.

He Chen, who practiced calligraphy regardless of weather, did not practice calligraphy either.

Meng Shaoxia woke up, surprised to find his own cheeks wet.

It was just a dream, yet he had cried.

Cried with immense sorrow.

But as he tried to recall, the dream dissipated, leaving only endless grief.

He could not even remember who he had dreamed about.

Shaoxia was docile since childhood, the elders said his name was well chosen, with a slight flaw that does not obscure the jade, a little imperfection in life that allows it to linger on.

But suddenly he felt he was missing a lot, as if his heart had been scooped out, leaving an emptiness.

He Chen also had a chaotic dream.

In the dream, he was infatuated with Meng\'s betrothed, feeling that Meng treated her poorly, standing up for her, even falling out with Meng, cutting ties.

But then Meng was killed in battle.

He wanted to take care of the poor woman in Meng\'s place, determined to marry her regardless of her previous engagement.

Even at the cost of falling out with his parents.

But she did not marry him either, becoming a concubine in the Crown Prince\'s palace instead.

The Crown Prince was the Emperor\'s son, but not by the Empress who was his aunt.

He pitied her difficult situation.

Secretly helping her at every turn.

The He family became staunch supporters of the Crown Prince faction.

Eventually, the Crown Prince became Emperor.

She rose from a beauty to a noble consort to the Empress.

When they met again, the Empress was high above while he knelt on the ground.

He knelt at the execution grounds, stretching out his neck, seeing the lofty Empress.

Though an Empress, she was still so affectionate, personally bidding him farewell.

He smiled, but the smile turned to tears.

His head fell, still shedding tears.

His entire household was executed, all because of her.

That rolling head kept crying tears.

When He Chen woke up, he did not remember his dream.

He only felt a sore neck.

He could not help but rub his neck.

He thought he might have slept in an awkward position, the pillow at the inn was not good, the height not right.

The two young men woke up feeling sleep deprived.

Packed their luggage.

Dressed up.

Dark circles under their eyes.

Silent toward each other.

After packing up, they prepared to depart.

But were told someone was looking for them at the inn.

Meng Shaoxia and He Chen\'s eyes lit up, it must be Brother Jiang.

Last night the two had discussed letting Jiang follow Meng, as Jiang\'s martial arts were excellent, following the Meng household would allow him to become an accomplished military officer.

"Big Brother Meng, Big Brother He." In the courtyard, in white robes, a tall ponytailed Jiang Wan dressed as a man held a folding fan, smiling radiantly.

Beside her was her chubby elder brother.

Her brother held an umbrella for her.

Through the curtain of rain, she was like a spring blossom, nobly fair and white.

She stood in the rain, her smile pure and clear.

"Knowing the two brothers are about to leave, Sister Wan and Brother have come to see you off."

Jiang Rong nodded in agreement.

Suddenly He Chen felt his neck ache, he instinctively stepped back, reaching to rub his neck.

Meng Shaoxia also felt his heart pounding, stepping back and clutching his chest.

Jiang Wan and Jiang Rong did not understand.

Why did the two young masters from prestigious families look so terrified as they retreated?

Jiang Wan had checked herself in the mirror, she looked very nice in this male attire, fresh and graceful, very appropriate.

She had even composed a farewell poem to recite.

But before she could open her mouth to recite it.

The two young masters had turned and fled on their horses.

As if being chased by wild dogs.

Jiang Rong was utterly baffled, wondering aloud: "Could they have some urgent matter?"

Jiang Wan looked at the curtain of rain, also puzzled.

The rain grew heavier, splashing mud onto her pristine white robe, staining it.

Her delicate brows furrowed slightly.

Out of Ming County.

After the rain, the sky cleared.

A rainbow even appeared in the sky.

The colorful arc bridged the heavens.

The two Precious Horse Young Heroes felt their spirits lifted.

Finally somewhat awake.

They rode toward the rainbow.

The rainbow gradually faded.

They saw the trio of siblings and a horse waiting by the road.

The horse was grazing.

Was the younger sister grazing too?

Jiang Feng was holding his little sister, not dressed for travel, still in plain linen clothes and straw sandals.

The Precious Horse Young Heroes reined in their horses and dismounted.
