Even if I was tortured in the Zhao Mansion and my whole body was scarred, it couldn't compare to this kind of pain...
She suppressed the loss and sadness in her eyes and looked down at the bluestone on the ground.
Even though she had her life over again, she no longer felt happy.
Just when I was feeling sad, I saw a person walking towards me.
Chu Jiaoli looked up and saw Hua Yuejin with a gloomy face.
She slowly took a step back, bowed her head and said, "Miss Hua Er."
"Chu Jiaoli, aren't you supposed to be in the Zhao Mansion? Why did you appear next to His Highness wearing a maid's clothes?" Hua Yuejin frowned displeased and gritted her teeth.
Chu Jiaoli paused slightly. Her identity should not be worthy of Hua Yuejin's attention at the moment. It was even impossible to recognize her at this time.
But Hua Yuejin actually knew everything about the trivial matter that she was sold to the Zhao family by the Chu family. This was wrong.
Chu Jiaoli pursed her lips lightly and replied calmly: "I did almost enter the Zhao Mansion today. I was rescued by His Highness on the way. Your Highness saw how pitiful I was, so I accepted you as a maid."
"Hmph." Hua Yuejin snorted coldly and said, "You shouldn't be here, you should be sold into the Zhao mansion and become a waste, living in inferiority and fear all your life! You ruined my good deeds.
!I could have prevented you from meeting each other!”
Chu Jiaoli's pupils tightened and her heart skipped a beat. She couldn't help being shocked. This Hua Yuejin was not simple. She seemed to know something.
Could it be that she too!
Chu Jiaoli swallowed her saliva. Under the tense nerves, her palms were sweating a little, but she still pretended to be calm and said: "I'm afraid Miss Hua Er has misunderstood. I am only a grass bandit, and I have absolutely no respect for His Highness."
If you think too much, you will never block Miss Hua Er's way. You are worrying too much."
"Am I worrying too much?!" Hua Yuejin raised her voice a little higher, stretched out his hand to grab her chin, stared into her eyes fiercely and said, "Don't think I don't know what dirty tricks you used to seduce His Highness.
Yes! You vixen, if I don’t be more vigilant towards you, will I be killed by you again?!”
Sure enough... Chu Jiaoli's guess was right. No wonder the look in her eyes at the banquet was wrong.
Not only her, Hua Yuejin, who died on the same day as her, was also reborn!
And judging from what she just said, it seems that she was reborn a little earlier than herself.
Chu Jiaoli could only pretend to be calm, showing an innocent look, and said with a slightly frightened look: "I don't know what Miss Hua Er is talking about. I really don't know what made you unhappy. Please let me go."
…”
Hua Yuejin sneered, with a trace of killing intent flashing in his eyes: "Let you go? Only a fool would stumble twice in the same place."
Before Chu Jiaoli could answer, she heard a soft voice behind her.
"Miss Hua Er, what are you doing? Why are you making things so difficult for a little maid?"
As soon as the voice fell, a man dressed in red appeared in their sight.
Sun Wanwan took Chu Jiaoli's wrist and pulled her behind her, frowning and looking at Hua Yuejin unkindly.
To outsiders, this looks very much like Sun Wanwan drawing a sword to help her when she sees an injustice, but Chu Jiaoli doesn't know this woman. She will help him, but how can her purpose be pure?
She lowered her head in silence and listened to the argument between these two stupid women.
Hua Yuejin took a look at the girl in front of her. Although Sun Wanwan was charming, she had never even entered the harem. Beigong Tengxiao had never even glanced at her from beginning to end. Such a little guy didn't care about her at all.
There are no threats.
After thinking about it, Hua Yuejin's eyes became contemptuous. She folded her arms and looked at her and said, "What? It's your turn to judge who this lady is teaching me? It's really ridiculous."
Hearing this, Sun Wanwan raised her hand to cover her lips, and couldn't help but chuckle a few times, her tone full of bitter sarcasm: "How ridiculous? Who was just like a clown, making all the jokes at such an important banquet?"
"You!" Hua Yuejin, who was stabbed, was trembling with anger and raised her hand to slap Sun Wanwan in the face.
The maid beside Sun Wanwan quickly pulled Sun Wanwan aside and said to Hua Yuejin: "Second Miss Hua, please respect yourself."
Hua Yuejin jumped in the air, her eyes immediately became angry, and just as she was about to yell, Sun Wanwan raised her voice and said: "Hua Yuejin, you are so rude in the palace and making things difficult for His Highness's maid, but you are disrespectful to His Highness! You
If you don’t leave, I’ll ask dad to tell His Highness about this, and then I’ll write a memorial and send it to your dad!”
Hearing this, Hua Yuejin immediately fell silent, turned her glare to Chu Jiaoli's face, gritted her teeth and said, "We'll see!"
Then he snorted heavily, threw up his sleeves and left.
Seeing Hua Yuejin walk away, Sun Wanwan held Chu Jiaoli's hand affectionately, smiled very friendly, and said in a soft voice: "It's okay, she doesn't dare to trouble you."
The injury on the back of Chu Jiaoli's hand was touched by a strong hand, and she immediately gritted her teeth in pain.
Sun Wanwan also quickly felt something was wrong with the touch on the back of her hand. After taking a closer look, she was so frightened that she immediately let go of her hand.
"Sorry, I didn't know you had an injury on the back of your hand."
Sun Wanwan frowned slightly, and the disgust in her eyes was not because he was afraid of her pain before letting go.
A trace of anger flashed in Chu Jiaoli's eyes, she lowered her head and said: "It's okay, Miss Sun, there is no need to blame yourself. I just thanked Miss Sun for rescuing the siege. I can't thank you enough."
Sun Wanwan covered her mouth and laughed, then walked to her side and took her arm. She said softly, "Look at what you said. You looked familiar to me the first time I saw you. You felt very friendly, like a long-lost friend."
We are just like sisters, there is no need for you and me to see each other outside of each other."
It was quite kind. The scarred hand she was holding had once slapped her hard on the face.
Chu Jiaoli smiled lightly and said, "Thank you, Miss Sun, for your kindness."
Hearing this, Sun Wanwan gently raised the corners of her lips and said to the maid behind her: "Bring it here."
"Yes." The maid behind Sun Wanwan took out a wooden box from her sleeve and handed it to her hand.
Sun Wanwan handed the wooden box to Chu Jiaoli and said with a smile: "It's our first time meeting, so I'll give my sister a small gift."
Chu Jiaoli watched her slowly open the wooden box. Inside was a beautiful hosta.
Although it is not rare in her eyes, for a palace maid, it is already sky-high price.
Chu Jiaoli lowered her head and said, "Miss Sun, this is too valuable, and I dare not accept it."
Hearing this, Sun Wanwan pouted and said in a half-joking tone: "Sister, are you going to meet me?"
Chu Jiaoli bit her lip gently. Before she could get angry, she calmed her voice and immediately replied: "Miss Sun has misunderstood. This is not what I meant."
As soon as she finished speaking, Sun Wanwan took her hand and put the wooden box into her hand, not caring about the injury on her hand.
