There is no hustle and bustle of the city, no work that will never be finished, and no need to wake up suddenly in your sleep and find that you are late for work. Lan Ruo, who has become more than ten years younger after coming here, lives like a pig, eating and sleeping.
, then eat, then sleep. What is shameful is that it is all like this, and the little girl named Butterfly still has to serve.
After accepting the truth, her life began to be filled with boredom. Lan Ruo was so depressed that she almost went crazy. Maybe she was frightened by the last time. No matter how she expressed her depression and begged for release, the mother and daughter Butterfly refused to give in.
She took another half step out of the courtyard.
On this day, the wet nurse was summoned by the madam, and Butterfly was sent back to the house because I wanted to drink tea.
After leaving the small courtyard named Lanyuan, where she had been imprisoned for a month, Lan Ruo groped forward along the winding gravel path. The huge garden was quiet, with only the occasional chirping of birds breaking the silence. The flowers in the garden were in full bloom.
It made Lan Ruo forget the trouble of not being able to go back.
I ran after butterflies for a while, picked unknown flowers and sniffed them, and jumping around felt like I was back in my childhood.
"Sister, look, isn't that Qingcheng?"
Just as Lan Ruo was enjoying herself, a strange voice sounded from not far behind her.
Lan Ruo turned around and stood still, carefully looking at the three girls who were coming towards her. The woman in green clothes walking in front was slightly taller than the two behind, she was about thirteen or fourteen years old, with rosy eyes and peach cheeks, and high-waisted temples.
She has a slim figure. The only regret is that her skin is slightly dark. However, this does not affect her beauty at all, and she has a little more charm. Behind her are two girls, one in pink, one in blue, and one in sky blue.
The girl's square face is somewhat similar to the girl in front, but she lacks the charm of the girl in green. Overall, she is mediocre. The girl in pink has clear eyes and is fair.
The innocent expression on her face makes people want to take care of her. At this moment, she is looking at me with her eyes like cold stars, full of confusion.
"Little bitch, if you look again, I'll put your eyes out." The woman in blue raised her chin and said fiercely.
"snort."
Lan Ruo looked at the arrogant girl in blue and the woman in green with contempt and disdain for her arrogance.
"Hello." Lan Ruo gave them a friendly smile.
The woman in green clothes was stunned for a moment, then smiled sweetly and said: "I heard that you are sick and have forgotten all the people and things. It turns out it is true."
"Oh, you should be Yunchu, Xinrui, and Qingqing, all of them are Qingcheng's sisters." Lan Ruo smiled and pointed at them one by one and called out their names. She still hadn't gotten used to the fact that she was Qingcheng.
, I always felt that she was a woman who had nothing to do with me.
The woman in green raised her lips and looked at Lan Ruo with a smile, her face full of sarcasm.
The girl in blue stepped forward and pulled the sleeve of the woman in green, looking at her like a monster, with a look of disbelief on her face.
The girl in pink looked at Lan Ruo pointing at her and calling out her name with a sweet smile and nodded. However, she saw the girl in blue looking at her with dissatisfaction, and quickly lowered her head and suppressed her smile as if she had done something wrong.
"Let me see if you are pretending to be crazy or not." After Yun Chu finished speaking, a flash of color flashed in his eyes, and his palms followed suit.
With an instinctive block, the flowers in Lan Ruo's hand scattered all over the ground, and Yunchu's fingertips swung past her nose without hitting them.
"You still dare to fight back, okay. Xinrui, take this guy, if you don't teach this bitch a lesson, she won't even know her last name." The beautiful facial features were twisted together, looking like a ferocious face.
Evil ghost.
Lan Ruo was stunned and instantly understood that they wanted to bully him. So he muttered, "It's inexplicable." He ignored them and walked back.
"Qingcheng's sister is too much. It's already a miracle that Qingcheng can live to be twelve years old."
Lan Ruo thought while walking.
"Pa"
There was a pain in my back.
Did she hit me?
Lan Ruo quickly dodged to the side to avoid the next attack, then turned around and glared angrily at Yunchu who was holding the teng bar.
"Oh, that's terrible! You've got a bad temper."
Yun Chu looked at Lan Ruo's expression and smiled sarcastically, and then swung the Teng Tiao over with all his strength.
Lan Ruoyi dodged, reached out and grabbed the Teng Tiao, and pulled hard angrily. Yun Chu staggered, and the Teng Tiao was in her hands. Before Yun Chu could stand firm, he backhand said: "Let
You also have a taste of it."
"ah."
"You rebelled. You...you...dare to hit Sister Yun." Xinrui pointed at her in horror and shouted loudly.
"Sister, I don't want it!" Qingqing screamed.
After Yunchu screamed, he covered the shoulder that Lan Ruo had slapped and looked at her fiercely with his big eyes, as if he wanted to eat Lan Ruo alive.
"Xinrui, Qingqing, let's teach this bitch a lesson together." After Yun Chu finished speaking, he and Xinrui, who was surprised, forced him up, and Qingqing followed behind.
"It's weird that I'm afraid of you." Lan Ruo said while waving the teng bar and jumping: "Come on, come on. I will let you fight Qingcheng and let you bully Qingcheng often."
Lan Ruo was slapped several times by that abominable heart core. Yun Chu stretched his height to grab it, but was also hit by it. However, Qingqing followed behind and cried out in fear: "Qingcheng, please don't hit me.
Stop hitting."
Just when Lan Ruo was swinging vigorously, thinking proudly that he could help Qingcheng vent his anger, the weapon in his hand was out of control, and he was slapped hard on the face. His cheeks also felt like burning pain, and there was something in his mouth.
A hint of salty smell came out.
She raised her head and saw a young man in green looking at her with eyes like fire. He also raised the wicker stick in his hand and waved it towards her.
"Wow, Brother Qingyang. Uh-huh... Uh-huh, Qingcheng, she hit me." Yunchu seemed to have been greatly wronged, crying so hard that Lan Ruo also felt that he had just beaten me really hard.
It's too much for her.
Following Yunchu's cry, the whip was louder, denser, and heavier, swung towards Lan Ruo's head and face.
Lan Ruo held her head and curled up on the ground like a kitten. Every time she was hit, she groaned in pain. Slowly, the white clothes on her body were dyed with dazzling red marks by the blood.
But Qingyang, who was beating her, had no intention of stopping.
"Miss."
Following a heartbreaking scream, a thin shadow rushed over like the wind and covered Lan Ruo's body.
"You bitch, get out of here. If you want to be beaten, you can't get beaten now. You'll get beaten later." Qingyang shouted violently.
"Butterfly, get out of the way."
Lan Ruo, who was underneath, knew that the butterfly was protecting her, and her heart felt hot. She endured the pain all over her body and wanted to push the butterfly away. Suddenly, a strange thought came to her mind: "If I die in this world, what will happen to me?"
Back to modern times?”
"Brother, okay. If you hit her again, you will really kill her." After a gentle voice sounded, Qingyang waved a few more times and stopped.
"Brother Qingze, she just hit me and Xinrui." Yun Chu's voice seemed a little dissatisfied.
The man she called Qingze frowned: "Do you really want her life? She is your sister."
The voice seemed a little reproachful, but it still passed by like the wind.
With the help of Butterfly, Lan Ruo stood up tremblingly and looked at the two handsome young men.
Qingyang, who had just beaten himself, was comforting Yunchu and Xinrui with gentle words.
Qingze frowned at Qingqing like a frightened rabbit, and turned to look at Lan Ruo with disgust on his face.
A breeze blew by, and Lan Ruo shivered.
Butterfly asked worriedly: "Miss, are you okay?"
Qingyang seemed to have been reminded when he heard the voice. He let go of Yun Chu who was smiling through his broken nose and walked towards Lan Ruo and the others.
As soon as Butterfly saw that posture, she quickly pushed Lan Ruo behind her and begged, "Master, please let Miss Si'er go!"
Lan Ruo looked over at Butterfly's trembling body, and saw Qingyang walking to Butterfly with a ferocious look, looking at her and saying fiercely: "You little bitch, if you let me see you next time, I won't fight you."
Even if you die, your skin will be peeled off."
Lan Ruo looked away.
"You..." Qingyang couldn't help but burst into anger when he saw Lan Ruo's expression, and angrily reached out to pull her behind Butterfly.
Butterfly pulled Qingyang's arm in fear, knelt down and begged: "Master, if you hit me again, it will kill the young lady. Please let her go!"
"Dog slave, I asked you to stop me." As Qingyang shouted angrily, he slapped Butterfly hard on the face.
Butterfly shook a few times, but did not let go of Qingyang's hand, still kneeling and pleading stubbornly.
"What are you doing?"
While they were making noise, a loud and majestic voice interrupted everything here, and everyone stopped.
"Father, wow... you have to make the decision for your daughter today! I was strolling around the garden with Xinrui and the others, but I didn't know where I offended sister Qingcheng, and I was beaten up by her. Uh... uh..."
Yunchu cried and ran over with Xinrui. The previous scene was played out again at this moment.
Qingyang, Qingze and Qingqing stood up and respectfully called out: "Father."
Butterfly seemed to be even more frightened than before, her body was shaking like a sieve, and the few blood stains seeping through the clothes on her back were very eye-catching.
Lan Ruo looked at the calm and powerful man standing in the corridor not far away without knowing why: he was Qingcheng's father, the mighty general of Tianchen Kingdom.
"Qingcheng." The deep voice was obviously full of anger.
Lan Ruo was stunned for a moment before she realized that she was calling him.
With the help of Butterfly, she moved forward with difficulty and called softly: "Father."
"General, Miss Si'er..."
"Unruly slave, who told you to speak?" Xinrui slapped Butterfly's swollen face again, knocking back what she had not finished speaking.
Lan Ruo raised his head and said word by word to the man called his father: "What is the situation like? Father, can't you see it?"
Yun Chu sneered at Lan Ruo's words, while Xin Rui responded with contempt. Qing Qing and Qing Yang did not react at all.
"Butterfly, how did your mother discipline the fourth lady, teach her to bully her elders? Did even I, a father, want to teach her a lesson that day?" The father's words were obviously filled with anger.
"General, I don't dare." Butterfly knelt down with a "plop" and slapped himself: "It's my fault, it's all my fault, I didn't take good care of the lady. If you want to punish me, then punish me!"
"Butterfly, you did nothing wrong, don't hurt yourself and give others the advantage." Lan Ruo stepped forward and wanted to hold Butterfly's hand and hit her.
"Come here! Drag this derelict girl to heavy responsibilities. Zhang Ma is not strict in discipline. I will reduce her monthly salary for this month. Qingcheng will think behind closed doors for a month." There was no warmth in the stern voice.
In the laughter of Yunchu, Xinrui and the others, Butterfly was taken away, and Lan Ruo fell to the ground: So that's it, that's it, they already knew the ending, they were just waiting to see the good show.
"Yun'er, Rui'er, Qing'er, go back quickly and take a look at your injuries. You need to let the doctor take a good look!"
The father led them away, greeting them with concern all the way. The coquettish voices of Yunchu, Xinrui, and Qingqing entered Lan Ruo's ears intermittently, and one or two teasing laughter from the Qingyang brothers could be heard in the middle.
Lan Ruo looked at the background as they gradually faded away: What a warm family!
Only now did she truly understand the sadness of being that woman named Qingcheng.
"Who am I? A soul thrown into ancient times by the sky? An orphan with a family? I am his daughter, but the man as my father is stingy and is willing to give me even a look. Even if he is, it is contempt.
and hate.”
"Why did you give birth to me in the first place? Why?" Qi Li's voice carried far away. People in the distance paused for a moment, then turned a deaf ear and walked forward with laughter.
"Wow..." After a long time, the earth-shattering cry finally burst out from Lan Ruo's chest. Is he crying for his immediate future? Or is he crying for the soul locked in this era?
Lan Ruo had never cried like this when her boyfriend Mu Yi, whom she had been dating for several years, broke up with her.
