Rebirth Against the Sky: Daughter of a Black Belly

Feng Qing immediately handed over the painting he 'stolen' from the Northern Palace respectfully to Ye Tianze.It was a portrait of a gentle and beautiful young woman.

Ye Tianze spread out the portrait and looked carefully, the woman in the portrait really looked exactly like her.No wonder when he saw her for the first time, he suddenly had a feeling of 'deja vu'...

"Father didn't find out, did he?"

Feng shook his head lightly, "This subordinate asked a painter outside the palace to copy it, and then put the real portrait back in the secret room intact. Presumably, His Majesty will not notice."

"well done!"

At night, when Shangguanhui was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard Qingluan's flat, unwavering voice coming from outside the door.

"Miss, I have something to report."

"Come in!"

Qing'er also came in with Qingluan.Different from Qingluan's expressionless face, Qing'er had a trace of anger on his face, and walked in angrily, before Qingluan could speak, he took the first step and said, "Qingluan discovered that Caiwei had a relationship with Baguio secretly. , I don’t know what they are planning. Hmph, Miss treats her well on weekdays, but she has learned to eat inside and outside.”

Hearing what Qing'er said was messy and out of order, Shangguan Hui turned his gaze to Qing Luan and signaled for her to speak.

Qingluan understood, and said, "It was just getting dark when I saw Caiwei sneaking out of the yard. Firstly, Miss didn't send her to do anything; secondly, she looked around while walking, as if very She looked very guilty, and her behavior was very suspicious. So I followed her secretly. As a result, when I was approaching the small garden, I saw Baguio waiting there anxiously from a distance. I was worried that they would be discovered by the two of them, so I didn't Keep up, just watch from afar."

"What did you hear?" Shangguan Hui frowned and asked.

"Because the distance is a bit far away, I can only judge by their mouth shapes..."

"Oh? It seems that my good sister is going to 'do something' to me." There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, but Shangguan Hui's bright eyes were as cold as cicadas.She didn't want to live a life of fighting openly and secretly, never wanted to.But there are some people who are not used to her indifferent way of life, and always like to find some 'excitement' for her.

Sister, why did we come to this point?

~~?~~

In the early morning, after serving Shangguan Lian to make up her face, Baguio unconsciously turned her eyes to Shangguan Lian's jewelry box.There are some expensive gold and silver jewelry in there, but the young lady likes to be clean, so she hardly wears those jewelry...

Shangguan Lian is currently taking a walk in the yard, leaving her alone in the room tidying up the dressing table.Her gaze fell to the jewelry box again and again, and finally, she reached out and took out a gold hairpin from it.This gold hairpin decorated with pearls was given by the old lady when the young lady just returned to the mansion. In my impression, the young lady had never even worn it.

Just this one, she only needs this one.The lady doesn't love her, so it's a pity to leave it like this...

Baguio found various reasons for herself, but there was only one starting point: she needed money!

Three days ago, her gambler father approached her and said that he gambled again and owed a large amount of money.The dealer said that if he didn't pay the money within five days, his hands would be cut off.

In fact, chopping off his hands would mean chopping them off. Anyway, he can't do anything else except gamble, so it's useless to keep his hands.But her gambler father threatened her that if he didn't find a way to get money for him, he would tell the dealer about having a daughter.She also knows a thing or two about the rules of the casino.As long as the gambling money is still owed, the banker will send thugs to the debtor's home to search for property wantonly, and if it is not enough, the family will be asked to pay off the debt.Many daughters of good families were taken captive in this way. Those with better luck were taken as concubines by rich families, while those with bad luck were simply sold into brothels...

Thinking of this, Baguio couldn't help shivering.
