The Ancient Aunt Traveled Through the 1970S

Qin Wanqing sat on the bed and covered her mouth with her hands. When she swallowed the last mouthful of black blood, a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. He slowly laid his body flat on the bed, holding in his hand a very small and ordinary safety buckle that he had carried since childhood. At this time, it was stained with blood, and the safety buckle flashed white. She was lying on the cold Babu bed, and the gold-painted curtain above her head was embroidered with peonies. The minister had once chosen it for her, but now it was like a cage trapping her. In a blur of consciousness, she remembered that when she was seventeen, her father had not yet been framed. She was the legitimate daughter of a third-grade official, sitting by the window embroidering lotus flowers, and the sun fell on her skirt, as warm as her mother's hands. Later, her father was imprisoned and her family was in ruins. She was sold into a brothel and given a bowl of dark potion, and she stopped thinking about being a mother. Later, she became the famous concubine of Nancheng's minister, and everyone called her "Aunt Qin". However, the fight for favor in the backyard was like a poisoned needle, with the mistress's false flattery and other concubines' overt and covert attacks. No one even spoke the truth. She guarded the empty courtyard and looked at her haggard self in the mirror. After receiving the news that her parents had died on the road to exile for more than five months, she had no hope of living. She had actually noticed the trap set by the mistress this time, but was too lazy to hide. When the bowl of "soothing soup" was brought to her, she didn't even hesitate and drank it - such a lifeless day would end a day earlier, which would be clean. The maid's panicked cry came to her ears, and the housekeeper's hurried report: "Sir! Mistress! Aunt Qin... She's gone!" She thought, she was finally free, she no longer had to look at anyone's face, and no longer had to fight for that pitiful favor.
