Chapter 69: Rukia

"Miss Rukia, please come with me," the maid's sweet but cold voice struck the young Grim Reaper Rukia's heart, and the first time she entered the nobleman's deep mansion compound made her quite curious, although she bent over and walked unfamiliar small steps, but still could not stop her small eyes from shaking. The beauty here is not like the mortal world, the cherry blossom trees all over the courtyard keep falling, and in the blink of an eye, new petals bloom again, which is really amazing!

Following the servant's communication, she came to the main hall, but she was choked by a strong sandalwood and coughed quietly, how could this fragrance be so heavy!

Hearing the sound of unfamiliar footsteps, Cher raised her eyes to see a petite figure, cowering and hiding in a wide black kimono. Her figure really looks like her sister-in-law, even the sound of breathing.

"You all go out, don't come in if you have nothing to do," the maids heard this, and quietly withdrew from the inner hall, and after Xue'er respectfully finished serving the three incense sticks, she smiled softly: "You are Sister Rukia, please sit down!"

After hearing this, Rukia sat cautiously behind the dwarf, not even daring to raise her head, she didn't know what shit luck she had stepped on, and she could actually get such a courtesy from the head of the nobles, Lord Sawada Piaoxi. You must know that since that incident, this lord has lived in seclusion for fifty years, and has never seen anyone, and even the power of the head of the nobility is held by Lord Kuchigi Hakuya, and today I actually met myself from Wandering Soul Street, is it because I look very much like her deceased sister-in-law?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but have a headache, blaming that damn Abba Sanji, who made herself so ugly at the graduation ceremony of the freshman, and fell into the arms of Lord Kuchigi Hakuya in a daze, and was almost killed instantly by 'Senbon Sakura'. But after that incident, the housekeeper of the Rotten Wood family found her, thinking that she would be buried alive to pay tribute to the supreme honor of the Rotten Wood family, but she didn't expect to hear a shocking news that the Rotten Wood family was going to take her in as a righteous daughter!

This news suddenly exploded, and she suddenly became the biggest topic in the corpse soul world, and everyone was talking about it, some were jealous, some were stammering, and some were sneering, after all, not everyone can have a face that looks like Mrs. Scarlet.

Her world was suddenly chaotic, hesitant, at a loss, it was difficult to sleep every day, and she often hid in a corner where no one was there and thought to herself. I thought it would be good to enter the corpse soul realm and be an ordinary god of death, I don't have to worry about eating, and I can fight with Lianji every day, how good a day like this is! But now I don't know what to do, she once secretly asked Lianji, but the heartless guy said: "How good it is to be a nobleman, how many things that the god of death dreams of, you actually picked it up, hahahaha!"

The piercing laughter pierced her heart, in the eyes of everyone, she really had good luck, didn't she?However, she didn't like this noble status at all, she just wanted to live a simple life and end safely, since she was accepted as a righteous sister, the retainers of the Kuchigi family have not been less troubled by themselves, if it weren't for the secret guard of Kuchigi Hakuya, she would have died a long time ago.

"What do you think, Sister Rukia!"

"No, I didn't think about anything," Rukia shook her head vigorously, as if to throw all the troubles out of her heart.

"Sister, your head will hurt if you shake it like this," Xue'er gently rubbed her delicate forehead after speaking.

"Uh-huh", her soft tone and gentle movements directly made Rukia stunned in place. Seeing her silly movements, Xue'er smiled, she was really an energetic girl, not at all as quiet and indifferent as her sister-in-law. If it weren't for the same lilac eyes and small and delicate faces, she wouldn't have believed that Rukia was the sister that her sister-in-law had to abandon because of life.

Rukia stared at the weak and melancholy woman in front of her, she couldn't understand why such a beautiful woman was surrounded by heavy sadness and pain, was it because of the death of Lady Kuchigi Scarlet?

"Sister Rukia, please don't worry, my brother and I will take care of everything. ”

"What, what?"

Xue'er gently held her slightly cold hands and comforted: "In a month, I will personally attend the canonization ceremony and officially give you the surname Kuchigi, you will be the younger sister of Brother Hakuya, the only sister of my Sawada Piaoxu." ”

"I, I ......"

"Don't worry about my sister, I'll arrange everything, stay here for a few days," as soon as Xue'er finished speaking, someone outside the door said: "Mrs. Ruling is here." ”

"Pass it in!"

The door opened, and a lean woman in a black and white kimono entered, kneeling upright on the tatami mat, and said respectfully, "Mrs. Keiyu, I have cleaned the side hall and moved all Miss Rukia's personal belongings into the side hall. ”

Xue'er nodded lightly and asked, "How is the dinner prepared?"

"It's all ready, it's all Miss Rucia's favorite dishes. ”

"Very well done, Mrs. Ruling, go to the housekeeper and receive the reward," after that incident, she dismissed her nurse Sakura, on the grounds of age, and let her go to the other garden to live in her old age. And Mrs. Ru Xue is shrewd and capable, good at human feelings, and knows how to make trade-offs, and she has taken care of the entire inner courtyard all these years.

"Flying snow," as soon as the words fell, a young woman dressed in a gorgeous and delicate twelve orders knelt down: "The little one is here." ”

"Cheer up and wait for Miss Rukia's meal. ”

"Yes, ma'am," Feixue saluted again respectfully. She was not a retainer of the Sawada family, but a house slave of the same 'snow' generation as the previous Sakurayuki. After the hospital incident, all the maids in the Bihe Hall disappeared overnight, and because she had served Mrs. Scarlet, she pointed over to serve Mrs. Sawada.

What happened fifty years ago, no one said clearly, several adults in the storm circle were jealous and silent about this matter, and even the only person who knew about it, Vice Captain Hu Che, lost all his memories at that time because of syncope, whether this was unintentional or someone deliberate is unknown. However, after this incident, the head of the Sawada family never appeared in the Silent Spirit Court again, and there were different opinions about his whereabouts, and there was no certainty. Some say that he was transferred to Team Zero, and others say that his husband, who is the head of the nobles, was appointed by the Spirit King to participate in a very secret plan.

However, all the changes in the outside world have nothing to do with Mrs. Sawada, since she woke up from a serious injury, she knelt in the mourning hall built by herself every day, ate fasting and chanted scriptures every day, devoted herself to worshipping Buddha, transcribing Buddhist scriptures, never participated in major aristocratic celebrations, and handed over all power to the elder brother of her mother's family, and even the affairs of the Sawada family were controlled by Lord Shiraya. If it weren't for the fact that she still had beautiful hair, Feixue would have thought that the master in front of her would have already become a monk.

Dinner was very rich, the delicate plates were placed with precious delicacies, and it had been fifty years since Xue skillfully picked out the fish bones and served Miss Rukia for dinner, and the smell of fish finally came from the small kitchen of the Bihe Palace.

There are so many rules for aristocratic meals! Rukia, who was born in Wandering Soul Street, was particularly unaccustomed to this way of eating, she was like a little sparrow soaring in the sky with its wings cut off and forced into a golden birdcage, and her every move revealed a strong sense of discomfort.

After dinner, Tingxue, who is good at perceiving people's hearts, deeply understands that Miss Rukia is not used to this way of dining, and leaves the side hall after bringing a delicate and delicious pastry, hoping to create a good dining environment for another future princess of Kuchiki. The peony roll, like a blooming peony flower, melted in her mouth, and the faint sweet fragrance filled her mouth, which immediately warmed Rukia's heart, and she closed her eyes with satisfaction and sighed: How can there be such a delicious pastry in this world, let Koiji try it one day.

It was only at this moment that she took a closer look at the room, which was ten times larger than her dormitory, and it was fully furnished, every piece of furniture was carved with the Sawada family's lily of the valley crest, and what was even more surprising was that there were plenty of fresh flowers on the balcony. She jumped and ran over, stroking the petals of the pale pink-purple lily, which was the first time she had seen such a strange lily.

"It's called 'Narcissus Lily,' and it's only called because it's like a lily and a daffodil," Rukia looked out the door in amazement, and it turned out to be Mrs. Sawada Piao. She took off the black sacrificial dress she wore when she met, and changed into an extremely elegant and simple white magnolia sleeved kimono, and was looking at herself a little embarrassed gently, and her concerned and cherishing gaze rushed into her heart.

Did she look at herself? No, no, all the brother and sister saw in themselves was the dead Mrs. Scarlet, for they looked alike, as if they were two biological sisters. At this moment, she once again had a face very similar to herself, with the same short black hair, deep eye sockets, and lilac eyes. It's a pity that she is an orphan, and Mrs. Scarlet Zhen has no reincarnated sister. It's really ridiculous to think about it, she is just a stand-in, used to make up for the pain of the loss of two adults, and to make up for the lack of soul.

"Brother, you're here," Xue'er still smiled as detached, indifferent, and without any feelings. I don't know when his sister turned out to be the most familiar stranger, thinking of this, he nodded quietly, and asked calmly: "You took her to Bihe Palace." ”

"The outside world is full of noise and chaos, and it would be better for Sister Rukia to stay with me. ”

"You, how do you want to deal with this matter," Bai Ya was a little uneasy, since the death of Scarlet Zhen, his sister has completely sealed her inner world, burning incense and worshiping Buddha every day and ignoring the world, and there are only a handful of things they have said in the past few decades. If it weren't for finding Scarlet's sister, Cher wouldn't have taken the initiative to talk to her by herself.

"Brother, because you have made an oath, you can't casually do anything that goes against the interests of the Rotten Wood family, but I'm different, I'm the head of the nobility and have a supreme honorary status, so it's better for me to come forward!"

"Okay, then it's up to you," because of this matter, the retainers of the rotten wood family were like a pot of hot porridge, and the opposing love letters were piled up all over the table, and it was difficult to suppress several high-ranking ministers just by virtue of the identity of the head of the family.

"Brother, I still want to discuss something with you. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Rukia's sister is not the righteous daughter of the Kuchigi family, but a concubine. ”

"Shu, maid," Bai Ya was shocked, what did Xue'er want to do.

"I want Rukia's sister to inherit the glory of the Kuchigi family," Cher said with great calm. Hearing the news, Bai Ya instantly understood that she just wanted to make up for the sins she had committed. It's been fifty years, Cher, can't you still forgive yourself?

"Cher, Scarlet didn't blame you before she died, so you don't need to be so yourself, okay," Hakuya prayed to her sister in an attempt to melt her already frozen heart.

"My sister-in-law forgave me, didn't she," Cher tried her best to suppress the sorrow and grief in her heart: "But I will never forgive myself, and now I live for one thing, which is to atone for my sins." ”
