Chapter 8 Flashes of memories
’Where am I?’ TanTan looks to her hand, she is holding a dagger and it has blood on it.
’What? what I am doing with a dagger, whose blood is this?!’ TanTan hears the scolded voices,
"Put it down, MuTan!!" Prince Li stared to her in rage. Beside him, there is a pretty woman whom right arm has wounded, blood flowing from her arm, obviously cause of the dagger. She looks terribly pale.
"I warn you, HuaMuTan! Put it down or I’ll do it with force..."
"No...no LiGe...don’t harm MuTan Cie..."
’That woman is still protecting her? What an angel...’
"Ha...hahahaha...disgusting!!! You are disgusting, ShuangAi!!! Always pretending to be an angel, isn’t that how you steal my husband’s heart, you...wicked woman...I curse you to die...die...DIE...!!!
’Its my voice, but its not me who talks....Is this...a flash of HuaMuTan’s memory?’
Prince Li moves forward her, do an action and then everything becomes dark.
TanTan opens eyes again, this time is in a dark night, somewhere in a remote corner of the city. There is man whom face is covered black cloth,
TanTan can see her hand giving some money in a heavy pouch to him, she can hear HuaMuTan’s voice,
"I’ll give the rest of money if you manage to kill that wicked ShuangAi. Make sure she won’t able to arrive in Prince Li’s birthday ceremony."
’So this HuaMuTan was really ever make a plan to kill ShuangAi?’
The scene jumps...
TanTan is in a bouquet, seems in a birthday ceremony of Prince Li coz everyone congrats him. She sits beside Prince Li who is busy responding other guests.
Suddenly a servant man comes in hurry to Prince Li, makes all guests pay attention to him.
"Prince Li, Physician Huang gives an apology for not able come to here, cause when they headed here, their chariot had been attacked by some killers."
Prince Li shocked to hear the news,
"How is ShuangMei? Is she alright?"
It makes everyone clear to see how affection Prince has toward Lady ShuangAi.
"Lady...she...she is fainting because of what happened..."
Prince Li then drops his drink and rushing out, but being stopped by HuaMuTan’s hands.
"Husband....how can you go in your own birthday party...everyone see..."
"Is this your deed?..."
"What? what are you talking about?"
"Let me go....HuaMuTan, I won’t forgive you if anything happen to ShuangAi..." Prince Ai pushes her harshly and then gone.
TanTan can hear the guests around HuaMuTan starts whispering,
"What a shame...she left by her own husband for another woman"
"Is what Prince Li saying just now true? That she sent killers to harm ShuangAi and her Dad? What an evil woman..."
TanTan can hear that HuaMuTan screams so badly at that time.
And then its dark again.
In another flash,
TanTan is at the kitchen, she is in front of a small room. There is a screaming comes from inside the room, a voice of a little girl.
"Let me gooo... let me out...Yi Fuuu...help me"
XiaoRue is beside her, crying and terrified.
"XiaoCie...please forgive her..don’t do this..."
"Be Quiet, XiaoRue. I need to give a hard lesson to this wicked little girl. So she doesn’t dare to talk evil about me in front of Prince Li and take all his attention anymore...Now, don’t you afraid to me?! You must obey to me next time.."
"You, evil CieCie... my YiFu won’t let you go from this. He will never love you!!! I am not afraid to you!! I will never obey you!!"
"You, wicked stubborn fool girl..." TanTan can feel that HuaMuTan is looking something to harm the little girl. She looks at under the cooking furnace, there is still a small fire left. HuaMuTan takes a wood and the fire,
"Open the door, XiaoRue..."
XiaoRue terrified to see what will happen, "Nooo, XiaoCie, you can’t do that.....you can’t kill her; She is Prince Li’s adoptive daughter...if you do this, Prince Li will so angry to you...please consider it again XiaoCie..."
"Don’t be fool, XiaoRue...I am not that stupid, I won’t kill her. I just want to give her a little taste of burning, maybe on her face so she won’t dare to disobey me..."
"No....no...XiaoCie...its not right..." XiaoRue gains her courage to block HuaMuTan entering the room, she shakes her head and pleas with her eyes...
"Step away, XiaoRue....are you starting disobeying me now....Step away or I’ll burn you with her..."
"No...XiaoCie....I won’t let you do wrong anymore...You’ve done enough...please."
HuaMuTan tries to enforce moving XiaoRue aside, but their struggles accidently makes some fire from HuaMuTan’s hand touches and burns things around them.
HuaMuTan and XiaoRue are surprise, they immediately run out from the kitchen. Because there are so many things that can easily burned in the kitchen, the fire grows bigger so quickly. At that moment, XiaoRue initiates to take a bucket to fetch some water, but HuaMuTan obstructs her.
"XiaoCie, please...she is just a little girl..."
"I prefer she burned and die...so everyone in this house can see what happens if they disobey me..."
"HUA MU TAN!!"
At that moment, Prince Li comes and shocks to see what happens, some servants who comes with Prince Li immediately put off the fire and release the little girl from the inside room.
Prince Li walks toward HuaMuTan and slaps her so hard.
"Be grateful that I don’t kill you right now, you...evil woman...!!" From inside the room, a little girl running into Prince Li’s hug,
"YiFu...huahh huaaahh"
Prince Li carries that little FangFang by his hands, and glares furiously to HuaMuTan.
"Its over FangFang. Listen, HuaMuTan! From now, don’t you dare close to FangFang anymore or I swear I will kill you no matter what. Let’s go..."
After everyone leaving HuaMuTan and XiaoRue. XiaoRue knows that HuaMuTan is in anger now, but she still trying to calm her XiaoCie, like usual.
"XiaoCie...." But HuaMuTan is so angry that she pushes XiaoRue harshly, making XiaoRue hurt.
"Go away ,you...traitor...I don’t want to see you anymore...."
Once again HuaMuTan screams,
" WHY....why do you care to everyone except to me!!! Why you can’t care about me at all!!! AaaaakKkggghh"
’This HuaMuTan is really really childish, she angry because she doesn’t get what she wants. She does what she wants, although it is very wrong... typical of a spoiled princess. She caused her own suffers but she still blamed others for it.’
And there are many other memories of HuaMuTan evil deeds played in her mind, it is getting worse and worse, and finally makes TanTan begging to stop,
"STOPPPPP...."
This time she is really opening her eyes for real,
"Auuuchh" she can fell a burning pain from her back...
"Brak" TanTan looks at the door, it seems someone has just leaving her room, but she doesn’t have energy to find out. She recalls what just happens.
She is wounded because of the attacks and she got some flashback of HuaMuTan’s memories, which make her more understand who HuaMuTan is and the situation she is in right now.
But in those memories, none of it explaing how HuaMuTan died till she, LangTanTan possesses this body. One thing for sure, she really doesn’t like to continue living as that HuaMuTan. Oppositely TanTan feels that her purpose to possess this body is to help fixing all problems that be done by HuaMuTan. Well, she decides she will do anything that she can to get rid the title of ’an evil woman’.
’But auuchh, I never know that being cut with a sword can be this painful... In drama, they make it looks so easy. Ahh, I feel dizzy now..." TanTan then decides to sleep again to gain her energy back.
