On the wedding day, the sedan chair landed.
Mr. Pei helped her out of the sedan chair, his fingertips were cold, and whispered in her ear——
"Miss Du, or should I call you the orphan of General Du's mansion?"
Du Yunshang wore a red hijab and said softly, "I can't understand what my husband said."
The dagger in his sleeve was pressed against his wrist, but his pulse did not move at all.
It took her three years to crawl from exile to the capital and marry into the Pei Mansion, in order to find out the truth about how the Du family was wiped out twelve years ago.
She thought she was a hunter.
Until that night, she found a note under her pillow with only three words on it——
Don't believe Shen.
It was written by him. The man who was terminally ill and coughing up blood was her new husband, Pei Changjing.
"You asked me what I want to do?" He raised his eyes in the candlelight, "I want to see you take revenge."
Later she found out that he had spent ten years collecting evidence of his enemies and waited three years for her to come.
Later she learned that he had paved every step for her - and then died in her arms.
"The last lesson is not how to live. It's how to survive alone."
She sat alone as the Lord of the Plum Garden.
Everyone in the court was afraid of her, so she poured two glasses of green plum wine in front of the wordless monument.
A toast to one hundred and twenty-three dead souls. A toast to the person who taught her how to live.
