A little maid about eleven or twelve years old wearing a water-green jacket kept standing outside the door and looking around, looking quite nervous.

Behind her was the carved door of vermilion lacquer, which was closed at the moment, and from time to time from there came a few painful moans/groans from inside, as if it was covered by something, and the sound was so small that it could not be distinguished from the lively chirping of cicadas if you did not listen carefully. However, the little maid heard it clearly, and every time a moan/moan came out, her face turned a little pale, and the anxious look in her eyes between her eyebrows was even worse.

Until a crisp and pleasant female voice came from behind the door: "Liu Lu, go and report to your grandmother, say that your young lady has a strange disease, please invite Dr. Chu to come." There was still a hint of immaturity in this voice, and although the words were concerned, the tone was unconsciously satisfied. When the little maid who had been changed into willow green heard this, her face turned pale and she hurriedly ran out of the yard.

However, when Liu Lu came in with the doctor, he still rolled his eyes in fright when he saw the slender woman on the bed and fainted. The woman's face was covered with bruises and purple scars, and she couldn't even distinguish her eyebrows. Where can you still see that it is the first beauty of the Yan family in Linzhou, the fifth lady of the Yan family?

Yan Xuan was lying on the bed at the moment, because the pain was unbearable, tears unconsciously soaked his face, but he didn't expect that this only irritating face burned even more like fire. Through the disgrace on her face, when she saw that the doctor was frightened and fled, her eyes quickly radiated a desperate light.

Standing on the side of her bed is Yan Xiangrong, the eleventh lady of the Yan family, who combs her pure and lovely double flat bun, a bright pink jacket, and a cloisonné skirt embroidered with blooming roses, with a fair complexion and picturesque eyebrows. There was a little maid standing behind her, but at this moment the little maid did not dare to raise her head, as if she was extremely frightened. But Yan Xiangrong kept looking at her face with a satisfied smile as if she was admiring a treasure.

The corners of Yan Xuan's mouth pulled a hint of ridicule: "Yan Xiangrong, if you let your grandmother know that you collude with demon cultivation......" Before she finished speaking, Yan Xiangrong laughed coquettishly, she looked at her condescendingly, covered her mouth and said: "My good sister, I'm afraid you're making a mistake, it's not me who colluded with demon cultivation, it's you who colluded with demon cultivation, and you were sucked into your essence, not to mention this strange disease, and now even the doctor avoids it, can you still expect your grandmother to come to see you?" She has always been an old man. ”

Seeing Yan Xuan gritting his teeth and clenching his fists, Yan Xiangrong was even more satisfied: "Now only I dare to come to see you, I'm afraid I can only reluctantly accept this good name of sisterhood." Before she could finish speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Sister Xuan, I'm Qi Chuan, how are you? I heard the doctor say that you have the plague of the demon clan, is it true? His voice was eager and trembling.

Yan Xiangrong seemed to be stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then responded inexplicably with grief: "Cousin Qi Chuan, the fifth sister is now suffering from the plague, I'm afraid it's going to be bad, you must not come in, so as not to get contaminated, I heard that the plague of the demon clan has no cure, and the fifth sister has no face to see you now that she has done such a thing, and you don't want to make her sad again." I didn't know if it was too deep, so I cried softly. Yan Xuan's eyes were about to be split with anger, but she saw Yan Xiangrong winking at her defiantly and letting out an even more sad cry.

The young man outside the door seemed to be a little shaken and a little frightened when he heard this, and he said, "Do you want Sister Rong?" Are you serious? Xuan'er ...... Do you really do something like that with demons? When Yan Xiangrong heard this, she continued: "Others may not dare to assert it, but Dr. Chu's family has been harmed by demon cultivators, and he is sure of it, how can things be fake?" Cousin Qi Chuan doesn't mind, Sister Xuan is still young, and it is forgivable to be confused by demon cultivation for a while to do such a bad thing...... But if you regret your marriage because of this, you won't complain if you want to come to our Yan family, after all, it's Sister Xuan's virtue that is at a loss......" and then cried a few times sadly.

However, she mentioned the matter of repentance at this time, Yan Xuan knew very well in her heart, Yan Xiangrong liked to compete with her since she was a child, she thought that if it wasn't for her pressure, everything Yan Xuan got now should be hers, including her fiancé Jun - the dream lover of many boudoir girls in Linzhou, Qi Chuan.

Qi Chuan heard her answer like a lightning strike, and he trembled and said, "You...... You take good care of your sister, now that the matter has come to this...... I...... I'm not going to bother her. ”

Yan Xuan was eroded by the demon venom brought by her sister, and she was already exhausted, at this time, when she heard her sweetheart's words, her heart was like a leaky window, she only felt cold and cold, she used all her strength to shout out of the door: "Cousin Qi Chuan!" You come in! ”

The young man outside the door seemed reluctant when he heard this, so he paused and said, "Sister Xuan, now you should recuperate, listen...... I heard the doctor say that your current illness is not suitable for people to visit, and I will ...... you when you get better" Before he finished speaking, Yan Xuan's heart was already like ashes: "Cousin Qi Chuan, even you believe that I was trampled by demon cultivation to end up like this?" Her eyes were blank, and she looked out the door and muttered, "Since you miss me so much, you can only be more disgusted to see me like this, so let's go." The footsteps outside the door were hurried, and after a while, there was no movement.

Later, my grandmother, who had always loved Yan Xuan, also came to visit through the door, no, it can't be said to be a visit, but a reprimand. Grandmother scolded her for ruining the family style of the Yan family for many years, and now the entire Linzhou knows that the fifth lady of the Yan family is secretly messing with demon cultivators, and finally contracted the plague, and even the hard workers who send rice, grain, vegetables and vegetables to the Yan family dare not step into the door of the Yan family again.

Decades ago, this kind of plague occurred in the small towns around Linzhou, because several demon cultivators picked the girl Yuan Yin, and the daughters of several families were contaminated, and their faces were full of cells and hair fell out. The whole town became a deserted town within a year, and those who fled and died died. Dr. Chu was the survivor back then. But Yan Xuan was not because she was robbed of Yuanyin, she was splashed with venom from her sister Yan Xiangrong who didn't know where she got it. The plague is caused from the inside out and is extremely contagious. But Yan Xuan is poisoned, from the outside in, although the symptoms are very similar, it is not contagious, otherwise Yan Xiangrong would not dare to stay in her boudoir without scruples.

Within a few days, the Qi family returned Yan Xuan's eight-character Geng post, and the meaning of regret was very obvious. Except for Liu Lu by Yan Xuan's side, the other maids have long since run away, since that incident happened. Yan Xuan never looked at Liu Lu again.

Now Liu Lu is kneeling next to Yan Xuan's bed, crying: "Miss, I know you hate me, I am your most confidant maid, and I helped Miss Eleven harm you, I really deserve to die, I really deserve to die......" Yan Xuan didn't look at her, just looked at the curtains on the bed in a daze. There is a rust on it with the pattern of Bixia wearing peach branches, and it looks very cool in midsummer. However, Yan Xuan's eyes were not on it, like a dead man, and he couldn't find a specific focal length.

Seeing her young lady like this, Liu Lu cried even more sadly: "Miss, I only have one sister, Miss Eleven said that if I don't do what she says, I will give my sister to the demon cultivator as a plaything, I ...... I'm really ...... Miss, I'm sorry for you. She said and glanced up at Yan Xuan, seeing that she didn't react, she suddenly hit the bedpost, and was about to commit suicide, and the blood spread little by little along the pattern on the corner of the bed......

However, even if Liu Lu's bed shook for a few minutes, Yan Xuan still didn't react. Her thoughts flew far, far away. She thought of her grandmother's loving smiling face, Qi Chuan's star-like eyebrows that would light up when she saw her, the people staring at her in a daze at the lantern party, and Yan Xiangrong's jealous and hateful expression every time she saw her.

That night, the Yan family sent a few rough envoys to drag Yan Xuan to the carriage, and after pulling it to the barren mountain path, several people got out of the car and jerked at the horse a few times, and the horse ran madly into the night.

Yan Xuan was abandoned.
