The sun was shining high, and the golden light spread across the earth, bringing a bit of life to the dilapidated courtyard. Sparrows were flying around on the branches, and occasionally a spring breeze blew through, making it seem much peaceful.
Last night, Shui Lianyue only slept lightly for a while. Although medicine was applied on her back, the wound was too deep and there was still a dull pain. In addition, from last night to now, except for the bottle of Yuxue brought from Baihui Mountain,
Fengsan ointment, and other medicines for treating injuries.
Shui Lianyue asked Hongying to open her arms and lay quietly on the bed with her eyes closed to rest. The wound had not healed yet and it was inconvenient to move.
"Miss, the eldest lady is here."[
Just as Shui Lianyue closed her eyes, Hongying walked in with an unhappy look. Before Shui Lianyue could speak, Shui Muyao stepped through the door.
But seeing the look of disgust on her face, he took two steps and dusted his clothes, as if the place she came from was dirty.
"Fourth sister, your place is too shabby," Shui Muyao said disdainfully while looking at the room. The pale pink water brocade was out of place here.
Shui Lianyue slowly opened her phoenix eyes, and a cold light disappeared in her eyes. After a long time, she calmly replied: "Yes, my sister's residence is naturally not as luxurious as my sister's Nuan Pavilion, but everything in the house has always been handled by the aunt."
I’m taking care of it, so”.
She did not continue talking, but Shui Muyao's face looked a little ugly, "Sister, are you blaming my mother for what you said? Don't forget that you and your mother have lived here for many years, and your father has never interfered."
"Oh, my sister is rich and valuable, but I don't know why I came here today." Shui Lianyue was too lazy to talk to Shui Muyao about this kind of thing, and immediately changed the subject.
"Oh, sister, I didn't tell you, but I have forgotten about sister. My mother feels sorry for her, so she specially asked her to bring some supplements to replenish her health." As soon as Shui Muyao finished speaking, a little maid came in from outside the house.
He was holding several packages in his hands.
Shui Lianyue just glanced at her lightly, waved her hand towards Hongying and said, "My sister will accept your kindness. When the wound is better, I will go over to express my gratitude in person."
Hongying reluctantly took the tonic, but because the lady didn't say anything, she couldn't get angry. She was afraid of causing trouble to the lady again, so she could only stand aside and swallow her anger.
Shui Muyao was slightly startled. She didn't expect Shui Lianyue to be such a polite subordinate. However, she quickly regained her composure, held up her flowers and smiled and said: "Then sister is recovering from her injuries. Oh, you must remember to go to my mother every day."
My dear, please say hello, otherwise, it won’t be twenty lashes next time, haha, my sister should have a long memory.”
Shui Muyao covered her mouth and chuckled. Without waiting for Shui Lianyue to speak, she walked out of the house. She breathed a long sigh of relief and whispered: "What a shabby place. Is this still for people to live in? It's true that my mother actually asked me to come here."
This poor place is really unlucky, Xiu'er, hurry back with me and change clothes to get rid of the bad luck."
Hongying and Shui Lianyue were both martial arts practitioners, so naturally they heard those mutterings. Hongying clutched the tonic in her hand angrily, wishing she could tear it into pieces.
"Miss, look at her virtues, she has shown her bad intentions, and she even said she was giving some supplements. Hmm, if it weren't for them, how would the lady have received these twenty lashes? No, I'm going to take them and throw them away, far away.
, I feel sick when I see it."
"Stop," Shui Lianyue shouted to stop Hongying, looked at the deformed packets of supplements in her hands, slowly closed her eyes, and said in a deep voice, "If you throw it away, within half a moment, you will be dead."
Someone will come."
"What?" Hongying was stunned for a moment, then understood, threw a few packets of supplements on the table, and snorted: "Miss, they really bully people too much, but what I don't understand is that they treat us like this, miss."
Why do you have to tolerate it again and again? Hongying can protect you, Aunt Cui and your wife. It is better for us to leave here than to be humiliated."
"You think things are too simple." After a long while, Shui Lianyue sighed softly and said slowly.
Others don't know it, but Shui Lianyue knows very well that she is a ghost from another world. If she is attached to Shui Lianyue, she is destined to be with her.
Shui Lianyue and her mother had suffered all kinds of sins back then, and now she wanted to pay them back one by one.
Sometimes, death is a relief, but sometimes, living is more uncomfortable than death.[
Yes, this is the result she wants.
What Shui Lianyue doesn't lack most is time. The cat cries while the mouse pretends to be compassionate. She likes the game of cat and mouse the most. Since they like to play, then she will accompany them to the end.
A mere twenty lashes were indeed not that important, but it did allow her to see clearly the true desolation of the world, and it was okay not to have a father like that.
