Chapter 278: The Memory In Her Dream

Pitter-patter!

Raindrops hit the bronze wooden window of the palace. The weather turned gloomy out of a sudden.

Eunuchs who sounded the night watches were moving around the side hall, beating the gongs. The sound was long and lingering. Everything was dull and depressing.

Helian Wei Wei who went to bed early was not feeling well. Her forehead was even covered in a thin layer of sweat due to some unknown incidents. She swayed her head from side to side as if she was trying to get rid of her dream.

She walked into an abandoned courtyard in the dark. The yard was full of huge red lanterns.

As there were a lot of red lanterns, the courtyard was shrouded in blood-red light. The cold and lonely abandoned courtyard seemed creepy under the lighting.

Squeak!

A muffled sound was heard.

Helian Wei Wei looked in the direction of the sound. She then found out that it was not a random mansion. It was where her mother lived right before she passed away.

Then, Helian Wei Wei walked into it in a daze like her body was out of control.

She seemed to be small in stature. She was only the height of the sandalwood table.

What's going on?

Helian Wei Wei slowly moved forward. Then, a sound emitted from the outside.

She subconsciously went under the desk, thinking that she wanted to play hide and seek with her mother when she got in.

Play hide and seek?

Helian Wei Wei frowned at the idea of having such a childish thought... Wait, something was not right!

It was because she saw Helian Na Yue came in and hastily placed something into the wooden box.

Isn't that the wooden box that was used to store ancient books?

Helian Wei Wei wrinkled her thick eyebrows.

Helian Na Yue's lips were pale. However, there were hints of purple and black. This was clearly a sign that she was poisoned.

Helian Wei Wei wanted to stand up and hold Helian Na Yue.

However, she realized that the little body was beyond her control.

She seemed to be pleased that her mother did not realize her existence.

Helian Wei Wei finally understood what was going on. This was not a dream. It was a memory that she lost when she was young.

The wooden door was kicked open as she was being enlightened.

Helian Guang Yao walked inside with a cold expression and said, "I will keep you alive if you hand it out!"

Helian Na Yue was holding onto the sandalwood desk with a single hand. Her body was trembling as if she was enduring immense pain. However, she did not make a single sound as she refused to show any sign of weakness.

Thump!

Helian Na Yue went flying a few meters after being kicked by Helian Guang Yao.

Her head knocked onto the shelf and her forehead started to bleed.

"Are you going to say or not?" Helian Guang Hao stretched out his leg and stepped on the back of her hand forcefully.

Helian Na Yue smiled contemptuously. Her eyes were cold and determined.

Being stared at by such a gaze, Helian Guang Yao breath stifled for a moment. "Why are you staring at me like this? Are you looking down on me? Don't be naive, the General's Residence is no longer the same. You are nobody after the old man's death!" He grabbed Helian Na Yue's chin and said, "Your gaze is what I hated the most as if everything I own was given by your family. It's great that the old man is finally dead. I no longer need to be treated as an uxorilocal son-in-law."

Helian Na Yue's face was as cold as the white rose. She laughed and said, "Thus, my father's great kindness to you turns into hatred. He treated you so well but you are hoping for him to die earlier! Helian Guang Yao, you are not worthy of being a human!"

Thump!

Helian Guang Yao kicked her brutally again.

Helian Na Yue's face was covered in blood and she fell next to the desk.

Little Helian Wei Wei was hiding there. Her fingers were stiff and her face was full of fear.

Helian Na Yue's dark pupils tighten as she saw her. Then, she looked back at Helian Guang Yao.

She reached her hands out and dragged the bookshelf forcefully. She was fighting without holding back.

Thump, thump, thump. The books on the shelf fell off one after another. Swoosh, Helian Wei Wei was buried under the books.

Little Helian Wei Wei curled herself up. She wanted to speak but Helian Na Yue stopped her with a glance. She covered her mouth with her hands as tears rolled down her cheeks.

Mother...

"Sister Yue, why are you in such an embarrassing state? You don't look like the queen of the Capital at all."

Who?

Who's talking?

Helian Wei Wei wanted to look a little closer. However, she was shrouded in darkness and thus she could not see a single thing.

"You have a good looking face even though you are a tomboy. Even the Emperor is constantly thinking of you. Sister Yue, you do have great capabilities. However, it is too bad that you did not know how to be a good wife. Alright, Sister Su, I will pass here for you all to settle. Get rid of her properly."

Then, the person left.

Su Yan Mo squatted and started to laugh like a slut. "Do you know why you lost? You were overconfident. You really thought that men will fall in love with an iceberg like you. He was just using you. Am I right, Master?"

"Of course. She's just like a piece of log. She is incomparable to your ecstasy." Helian Guang Yao said and pulled Sun Yan Mo into his arms.

Su Yan Mo's delicate voice resounded through the atmosphere.

From the beginning till the end, Helian Na Yue was just lying there watching it quietly.

The light in her eyes gradually disappeared just like how the fascinating meteor passed by in the blink of an eye.

Helian Wei Wei knew that Helian Na Yue cried at that moment.

Her lips were as pale as a sheet. She looked at little Helian Wei Wei and mouthed her words.

She told Wei Wei to stay alive. You must stay alive.

As if she could feel her mother, Helian Wei Wei bit her hand. She bit her hand mercilessly as if it was the only way to keep the hatred in her mind.

"Wait, Master! She seems to be dead!"Su Yan Mo who was still pretending to lie under Helian Guang Yao shouted as she saw Helian Na Yue stopped moving.

Helian Guang Yao quickly put on his belt. He was anxious and terrified. "Even though the Old Master Helian was dead, the Helian family's death knights are still here. They will risk their lives to fight against me if they know that I have murdered Helian Na Yue. At that time, what should I say? Damn, how can she die just like this?"

"Master." Su Yan Mo held Helian Guang Yao's hands and said softly, "It's better that she died. In this way, the Helian family will truly belong to us."

"But, the Retired Emperor will surely make an inquiry. I'm done if the person sent by the Retired Emperor found out that I was the one who killed her."

Hearing this, Su Yan Mo smiled evilly. "That's easy. We have the final say on how she died. Since she has not recovered from her previous injury and it has dragged on for such a long time, it is totally possible for her to die due to her long-term illness. As long as we publicize it, it can certainly cover up her death."

"Long-term illness?" Helian Guang Yao frowned and said, "This woman has always been competitive. She always pulls through an injury. I'm afraid that no one will believe in such a statement."
