Chapter 002: Antecedents and Consequences
The green trees are thick and the summer days are long, and the buildings are reflected in the pond. The crystal curtain moves and the breeze rises, and the shelves are full of roses.
After a heavy rain, the hot summer became much cooler, and the breeze with a fresh breath gently blew the crystal curtain, revealing a slender and beautiful figure.
The face is like a peach blossom, and the eyes are full of autumn waves. The skin is as fine as warm jade, soft and greasy. The cherry mouth is red and delicate. The two strands of hair on the cheeks are gently brushed with the wind, adding a bit of seductive style. His eyes were turning wisely, a little naughty, a little naughty, a pale green long skirt, and a slender waist was not in his hand. It's so flawless, so beautiful that it doesn't eat the fireworks of the world.
The girl looked at the book in her hand, sighed faintly, raised her head and looked out the window and remembered her thoughts.
She is Xie Lingyun, the ninth miss of the Xie Mansion, but she is not the ninth miss Xie Lingyun. It should be said that this Miss Jiu, but not Miss Bijiu, is also Xie Lingyun, but the soul has changed masters, to be precise, Miss Xie Fujiu's body and soul have changed, and she has become Xie Lingyun, who has been hit by betrayal in modern times.
Xie Lingyun remembered everything before, her eyes were red and her nose was sour, she had been working hard for more than ten years, and it could be said that it was not without her hard work. But I don't know what the reason is, what went wrong, and it made her what she is now.
I thought that after being hit by a car, I would return to Huangquan and die, but God's other mercy actually made her reborn, and she was deeply grateful for this, after all, she was still young, she still had a good life, and she was reluctant to give up her own life.
But God played a big joke on her, and even let her soul penetrate into an ancient Tang Dynasty called the Tang Dynasty, but it is not the Tang Dynasty as mentioned in history. If she hadn't felt her breath, had her own thoughts, and could see her own shadow, she wouldn't have believed what had happened to her.
I remember that when she woke up and slowly became conscious, she was frightened by what she saw in front of her, and her heart trembled, and she asked without brains: Is this filming a TV series?
She secretly pinched herself hard in the quilt, it hurt, so she knew that everything in front of her was true. But she didn't show the slightest panic at the people standing next to her, even though her heart was already a pot of porridge. But after experiencing death once, let her experience it again, she was timid.
For a few days after waking up, she feigned a coma; One is that this matter is really unbelievable, which makes her very frightened and overwhelmed. The second is also to get some useful information for her through the fragmentary conversations of a few maids who serve beside her.
It took six days, and she tried to pretend to be asleep, and really let her know some basic information about the owner of this body.
Xie Lingyun, the same name, but the fate is a bit the same, but in the last life, she lost the love of her parents because of the divorce of her parents.
In this life, the original owner's parents did not have the problem of divorce, but the original owner was sad that the concubine, that is, the child born to the concubine. This is not the saddest thing, the original owner's mother, that is, Aunt Feng in the maid's mouth, actually gave birth to a son, that is, the younger brother of the original owner, and passed away because of difficult childbirth.
In this way, Xie Lingyun faced the sad fate of not having the love of her parents. She has to wonder if she has no parents. Although the original owner, that is, the current one, on the surface, has a father and a mother.
But whether it is the subordinates of Xie Mansion on an errand or the master of Xie Mansion, they all know that she will not be favored, because her mother is a stepmother, and her father is her own father, but she is a businessman who doesn't care about things and only knows how to earn money to marry concubines. These are all okay, the sad thing is that the original owner has many sisters, and what is even more sad is that they are not close to the original owner, and if they don't step on her when they see her, they are already in a good relationship.
"Whew" exhaled softly, what kind of family is this. Xie Lingyun was very helpless. But what can this be, the hope of going back is a slim one in her eyes.
Living here, Xie Lingyun is unwilling, but she is afraid of death, so she can only live here. Fortunately, there is no one she loves now, otherwise she would be heartbroken.
All kinds of signs show that as long as she Xie Lingyun wants to live, she has to accept everything here and continue to live as the original owner. But how to live, she has to think about the long term.
Stretching out her slender jade hand to caress her heart, she clearly knows that this heart is back to the original, indifferent to everything, and more indifferent to feelings than before, now she doesn't believe in love at all, even if there is a miracle, she thinks it has nothing to do with her. Because she is a person with a hard life, she is destined not to be loved, this is what she always thought.
"Miss, Mama Liu is here." Qiu Yan, the eldest girl who had been serving Xie Lingyun, lifted the curtain and walked in respectfully.
Xie Lingyun looked up at her, she was a teenager, she was handsome, and she was a little girl in her eyes. If she is put in modern times, she sees a girl who was sold by her family at such a young age and lost her freedom, and she may be upset for her.
But this is an ancient world that does not talk about human rights, and she will not make a naΓ―ve act of treating her like a sister. Because everything is fate, and nothing is up to anyone. Maybe her current status as a young lady is not as good as the maid in front of her.
Because Xie Lingyun saw through and saw lightly, she looked at the little girl in front of her very calmly, bowed to her, and used honorifics to her.
"Little ...... Miss? Qiu Yan waited for a while, but didn't see Xie Lingyun answering, and couldn't help but raise her head and take a quiet look, but saw that her young lady was staring at her, and moved her feet unnaturally, and couldn't help but remind Mama Liu that she was still waiting outside the door.
Xie Lingyun came back to her senses, squinted at her, and saw that she was even more unnatural, and after her face turned pale, she said coldly: "Let Mama Liu come in." β
Qiu Yan's heart trembled when she was watched, thinking that it was because of her reminder that the young lady was displeased, and her legs trembled and she was about to kneel down to admit her mistake, when she heard this command, she didn't dare to delay at all, and responded more respectfully than just now, "Yes." And he withdrew.
didn't let Xie Lingyun wait longer, a woman in her forties lifted the curtain and walked in, dressed not as bright as the big girl just now, dressed in dark blue clothes, but her hair was combed very neatly, and her face was very peaceful, she knew that this was the grandmother who served the original owner, that is, the grandmother Liu in others' mouths.
After Mama Liu came in, she first looked Xie Lingyun up and down carefully, then smiled reassuringly, and asked with concern:
"Miss, do you think your body is good now, do you have any more headaches, have you remembered the previous things?"
Although it doesn't matter where Xie Lingyun is now, she can't help but find a reasonable reason to make others believe that she is the original owner, and she only knows herself on the surface, but she has to find a reason to prevaricate, that is, because she has a high fever, she burns out her brain and forgets everything, that is, she has amnesia.
Although her reason was very far-fetched, fortunately, the doctor's medical skills at this time were mediocre, although he didn't understand why she had a high fever and had amnesia, but he was afraid of ruining her job, and the doctor could only follow her reason to confirm that she did have amnesia because of illness. This made her a lot less troublesome, but she didn't dare to be careless, and she had an extra layer of defense against the people around her.
"Mama Liu, sit down and talk." Xie Lingyun said coldly, she didn't respond to what Mama Liu asked her, she didn't think it was necessary to say, isn't there a difference between respect and inferiority here, and it is reasonable for her not to answer. If she hadn't seen the deep concern in Mama Liu's eyes and knew that she really cared about the original owner, she wouldn't have let her sit down and talk back.
Sure enough, as Xie Lingyun thought, Mama Liu didn't take Xie Lingyun's words to heart for not responding to her, but was very grateful to Xie Lingyun for giving up her seat, respectfully thanked, half sitting on the pony, and then asked:
"Miss, I heard that girl from Qiu Yan said that you are looking for a slave maid, I don't know what is the matter with Miss looking for a slave maid at this time?"
Xie Lingyun does have something, since she is now inexplicably the ninth miss of the Xie Mansion, but she can't just be so confused as this ninth miss is not, no matter what, she has to figure out the causes and consequences of why she can come here. She knew in her heart what she died in her previous life, but was the original owner of this body really because of a high fever and her soul returned to the west?
She didn't believe that even if the original owner of the body was the concubine of the Xie Mansion and was not favored, but the Xie Mansion on the side of the dignified and wealthy side - this is what she has learned in the past few days, and the mansion she is in now is very rich. Is it still difficult to get a doctor?
Besides, no matter how unfavored the original owner is, but there are several grandmothers and maids around him, just watching his young lady get sick? Also, how did the original owner get sick? In Xie Lingyun's opinion, these must be clarified, otherwise she will not be able to sleep soundly.
Without hesitation, she asked the question in her heart:
"Why am I so sick, and why didn't I return to my wife earlier and find a doctor for me to check my pulse earlier?"
Mama Liu was also full of anger when she heard Miss ask about this matter, and her face changed, which made Xie Lingyun, who was staring at her carefully, feel 'groan' in her heart, is there really anything greasy here?
Next, without waiting for Xie Lingyun to ask, the angry Mama Liu told the truth one by one:
"Miss, even if you don't ask the old slave about this matter, the old slave still has to tell the young lady to know, that is, Miss Eight." Speaking of this, she seemed to be in a very good mood, exhaled a long breath, and continued:
"Miss Eight was upset because of a piece of good silk cloth that the eldest lady gave to the young lady, and she had that bad idea, tricked the young lady into a room, locked the young lady in the room, and let the young lady stay there for most of the day, there was no stove in the house, and by the time the old slave found the young lady, the young lady had already ...... Already frozen, I started a high fever. β
"Eight, little, sister." This body is the ninth lady of Xie Mansion, so the one who harms the soul of the original owner is the sister of the original owner. This reason made Xie Lingyun very angry in her heart, she was born from the same root, so why was she too anxious to fry each other. In her previous life, she had no brothers and sisters, and she was very envious, but now it seems that it is not necessarily a blessing to have sisters, at least the original owner was very unlucky, and she had such a sister.
As for how Xie Lingyun will deal with the original owner's 'good' sister in the future, she already has a plan in her heart now. No matter how the so-called eighth sister of the original owner treated the original owner before, now, she is the ninth miss of Xie Mansion, so as long as the eighth miss offends her, then don't blame her for being polite, just to seek justice for the original owner.
Mama Liu thought self-righteously that Xie Lingyun couldn't remember who Miss Eight was, and then explained: "Miss, you may not remember who Miss Eight is, let the old slave explain it to you clearly, right?" β
Xie Lingyun really didn't know which poisonous green onion the so-called Eighth Miss was, so she nodded lightly and motioned for her to continue.
"Miss Eight was born to the fifth aunt, her name is Rongyue, speaking of which, Miss Eight is not much older than Miss, and Miss You are the same year, but you are two months older than Miss, Miss Eight also has a younger brother, who was also born to the fifth aunt."
Xie Lingyun frowned, and a younger brother? No wonder you act so recklessly. Dare to do anything that kills people's lives. It's just that if there are other people involved, she has to inquire carefully.
"Mama, was it only my eighth sister who came to look for me at that time? Is there anyone else with her? "Of course, she refers to the masters of the Xie Mansion.
Mama Liu didn't expect Miss to ask this, but she didn't ask more, just thought about it for a while, and replied, "Miss, only Miss Eight came to you at that time, what's the matter?" Miss, do you think there's something wrong, or do you remember something? β
Xie Lingyun frowned her good-looking willow eyebrows, stared at Mama Liu, and saw that her face was full of concern, not like she was cheating, so she shook her head lightly and said that there was nothing wrong. Now she can be said to be a newcomer, and it is better to speak less before she has figured out what is going on. Take your time.
