Chapter 1: She's Not Dead

Next Chapter

The capital, west of the city.

The Xia family, the most powerful left minister in the Daqing Dynasty, was very lively with people coming in and out of the mansion, but everyone who came in and out had a solemn face, shaking their heads and sighing. Looking at the two white lanterns on the gate, you don't have to guess that the Xia Xiangjia is doing white things.

"The eldest lady just came back and had an accident two days ago, and the lord was also sad in his heart, and he didn't greet him well, so I ask Lord Li to forgive me."

"It's okay, butler, please go back, Xia Xiang is also mourning."

"Thank you Master Li for your concern, let's go."

sent off another mourning official, and the sadness on the face of the housekeeper Hu Yuan disappeared. Just as he was about to turn his head, he suddenly saw another carriage coming and stopped not far from the gate.

Hu Yuan hurriedly greeted him, but when he saw that it was a simple and unpretentious carriage, the respectful look on his face suddenly faded a little.

Before he could speak, the curtain was lifted.

A young girl in a green skirt jumped down with her skirt lifted, and there was a scar on the raised left side of her face. Hu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed greatly, and he exclaimed: "Ah-there are ghosts!" ”

"Steward Hu, I'm not dead." The girl glanced at Hu Yuan faintly and walked straight towards the door.

Seeing the girl enter the Prime Minister's Mansion, Hu Yuan's face turned pale, and his frightened legs were weak.

Isn't the eldest lady obviously dead, why did she come back alive?

In the main hall, the white couplets, the incense and candles are lit, and many guests who came to mourn have not left.

Everyone was sad and sad, sighing again and again, all in pity for the eldest lady of the Xia family who died unexpectedly just two days after returning to Beijing.

It is said that after discovering that Xia Jinse was missing, the Xia family dispatched all their subordinates to look for him. But in the end, she only found a pair of embroidered shoes on the edge of a cliff in Qingyang Mountain, which was exactly what she was wearing that day.

How Xia Jinse left the Prime Minister's Mansion, whether he committed suicide or was pushed off the cliff, Jingzhao Mansion is investigating. But five days have passed, and even the corpse has not been found, and everyone is talking about it, afraid that the bones that were eaten by the wild wolf are gone.

Although the case has not yet been solved, the funeral is to be done.

On the mourning hall, Zuo Xiang Xia Yanxiu's face was solemn and silent, except for a few officials of the same rank, the rest of the guests were basically received by the housekeeper and subordinates.

The step-room Zhao was dressed in plain clothes, and his eyes were slightly red, as if he had cried.

But her face was naturally mean, and she didn't see the slightest sadness. Behind her stood two girls with identical faces, one was gentle as water, with a sad expression, and the other barely squeezed out a crying face, but was slightly impatient.

"Mother, how long do you have to stand, my legs are numb." The third lady, Xia Mengyao, complained in a low voice.

Zhao frowned, turned his head and shouted: "What's the hurry!" After all, it's the girl's funeral, and it looks like it has to be done, otherwise it will sound good if it spreads! ”

Xia Ruxue, the second lady beside her, glanced at her twin sister and said gently: "Meng Yao, my sister knows what you are anxious about, but at this time, it is better to be at peace......"

Before she finished speaking, she froze.

A young girl Shi Shiran in a green skirt walked in and stood in the middle of the mourning hall. As soon as she turned her head, she just smiled at Xia Mengyao, who almost fell down in fright after seeing her appearance clearly: "Ah! There's a ghostβ€”"

At this sound, everyone was shocked.

The people under the girl of the Prime Minister's Mansion also saw the girl's face clearly, and they were almost frightened, and some people shouted in horror, 'The ghost of the eldest lady is coming', which made the guests in the mourning hall change color at the same time.

The soul of the eldest lady of the Xia family, who has been dead for five days, is back!

Suddenly there was chaos in the hall, everyone dodged, and some people stepped on the brazier in a panic, and the burning paper money flew with black ashes. Xia Yanxiu's eyes bulged out, and he trembled all over, if he hadn't been held in front of him by the Zhao family, he was afraid that he would have fallen to the ground in fright.

"Father, the daughter is not dead, the daughter is back." Xia Jinse whispered and leaned over slightly.

"Y-You're really not dead?" Xia Yanxiu couldn't believe it.

Xia Jinse said: "There is no body of my daughter in the coffin, what is the possibility that my daughter survived?" Dad, are you happy? ”

Xia Yanxiu finally came back to his senses, straightened his clothes and stood upright, coughed twice and pretended to be majestic: "Since you are not dead, where have you been in the past few days?" ”

Xia Jinse was slightly gloomy, and said aggrievedly: "My daughter was rescued by a life-saving benefactor, and it was so easy to come back alive, but the father not only didn't care about his daughter's safety, but blamed his daughter." ”

She said, looking sad, and secretly glanced at the people around her.

Sure enough, everyone was surprised by Xia Yanxiu's reaction. After all, it's her own daughter, although she hasn't been around all the year round, and she doesn't have any father-daughter affection when she comes back, but she doesn't have to be so strict, right? Could it be that Fei Xia doesn't like this daughter?

"But aren't you alright?"

Xia Yanxiu was displeased, but his face had to soften a little: "My father knows that you are in danger, but as a daughter's family, your name is the most important, won't you worry about your father if you don't go home for a few days?" Look at what you look like now......"

His eyes fell on Xia Jinse's face, and his originally beautiful face was covered with a hideous scar, like an ugly centipede, and he was even more disgusted with this eldest daughter.
