Two women came in together. The woman in pink clothes showed gentleness and tenderness between her brows, and the other woman in purple clothes looked a little more mature. Her dignified and noble appearance showed that she came from a famous family.
The woman in pink walked forward and sat beside Liuyun's bed, her eyebrows filled with worry, "Sister, you finally woke up. I was worried to death."
Liuyun raised his head slightly and looked at Lan Xi intently. Her younger sister, the second sister Mu Lanxi who was always gentle, pleasant and polite, had to admit that Lan Xi was very beautiful, and her beauty made people pity her, but it was just a little bit.
Apply powder and it will look like a budding hibiscus, spotless and charming.
She had rarely noticed Lan Xi before. In her eyes, she only had the status of a concubine, and a concubine like Lan Xi, no matter how beautiful she was, was nothing. Now that she thought about it, she understood the resentment in Lan Xi's heart.
, can be as dazzling as a pearl, but because of her identity as a concubine, she is buried in the sand, and Liuyun is the sand that prevents her from shining. Only by removing her can she become the focus of everyone's attention.
"Eldest sister, what are you looking at?" Being stared at by Liu Yun's serious eyes, Lan Xi bit her lip and took a step back. Timidity flashed in her eyes, and it was just right, one point more hypocritical and one point less.
Such a real and natural expression, if Liu Yun had not known her true face, Liu Yun would have been deceived again.
She remembered that that day, Lan Xi also had such a weak and timid face, as if she was the one who fell into the water and was frightened. Liu Yun made a fuss, saying that Lan Xi pushed her into the water, and Lan Xi was so frightened that she knelt down.
She fell to the ground and was kicked hard by Liu Yun. Her forehead hit the corner of the table and she was bleeding. At that time, her father and the second lady came in together and sent Lan Xi to the doctor in a panic.
From one day onwards, her father began to hate her from the bottom of his heart.
Now that I think about it, this scene was probably planned a long time ago. Whether it was a trick or a trap that was already laid out for her to fall into, she fell into it and became the turtle in the urn, the unloved one in the Mu family.
His daughter became a tyrannical and cruel young lady.
"Liu Yun, what's wrong with you?" The woman in purple beside Lan Xi stepped forward, carefully sat on the edge of the bed, held Liu Yun's hand, and frowned, "Why are your hands so cold? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere else?"
?”
This is Liu Yun's cousin Ji Yanran. The Ji family plays a very important role in the capital. The Mu Mansion's power is inseparable from the backing of the Ji family. Liu Yun's mother is Yanran's aunt Ji Mengxian. This Ji family
The eldest daughter of the family was the most talented woman in the Ling Kingdom. She came from a famous family and her talents and learning were praised by the emperor. Later, she married into the Mu family, which shocked all the noble gentlemen in the capital. No one expected this world-class talent.
A stunningly beautiful woman actually married a businessman, but after Mu Mansion married the daughter of this high official, he became even more prosperous and became the richest man in Linyang City.
Ji Yanran's father is a high-ranking official in the capital. She is Master Ji's legitimate daughter. She is very noble. She occasionally comes to Yangcheng to stay for a while, and she and Liu Yun are like sisters. However, the relationship between the two later becomes more and more distant.
, Yanran hated her more than anything, and in the end she never came back to Linyang City to take care of her affairs.
Thinking of this, Liu Yun bit his lip, and everything from the past came to his mind. She was originally a woman whom her father loved and loved by her cousin. It was because of the instigation of Lan Xi and the Second Madam that she ended up being betrayed by everyone. Now that
Given her chance to be reborn, she will never make the same mistakes again.
"Wan Qing, go and ask for the doctor." Seeing Liu Yun's dazed expression, Ji Yanran frowned even more tightly and quickly ordered the maid beside her. Wan Qing ran out immediately after receiving the order.
At this time, Liu Yun slowly turned his head to look at Ji Yanran. Seeing the anxiety in her eyes, a warm current suddenly surged in his heart. Her cousin Yanran was really worried about her. At least at this time, she really cared about her.
.
She suppressed the complexity in her eyes, her eyes turned slightly red, and looked at Ji Yanran who hesitated to speak.
"What's wrong? Is someone bullying you? Tell your cousin and she will help you vent your anger." Although he knew that Liu Yun was not a person who would be bullied, Ji saw the always arrogant girl's eyes red.
Yanran still feels unspeakably distressed. Liu Yun has lost her biological mother since she was a child. Ji Yanran doesn't say it, but she still feels sorry for her in her heart. She always believes that Liu Yun's arrogance and unruliness are just her protection. She is still the kind and innocent person she used to be.
The girl.
"Cousin..." Liu Yun pursed his lips, and finally threw himself into Yanran's arms, burst into tears, and muttered, "Cousin, I thought I was going to be like my mother. I was so scared. I stood there clearly
He was fine, but he was suddenly pushed into the lake. I thought...I thought..."
Yanran saw that she was crying out of breath, and quickly patted her back gently to calm her down, but there was a hint of deep thought in her eyes. She knew Liuyun's temperament very well. Although this girl was arrogant and willful,
She is extremely simple, probably because she is so well protected, and has never been defensive about anyone, especially... the people closest to her.
Thinking of this, Yan Ran glanced at Lan Xi who was standing aside without leaving a trace. Seeing her calm expression, she sneered in her heart. Even though they were both fourteen years old, Lan Xi was much more sensible than Liu Yun, but she forgot that sometimes she tried to hide her feelings.
Going too far can also expose someone's flaws. Lan Xi's calmness just shows that there is something wrong with her.
"Okay, okay, it's okay. My cousin is here, so I'm not afraid anymore." Ji Yanran is six years older than Liu Yun, and she is also the legitimate daughter of a high-ranking official in the capital, so her mannerisms are convincing.
Indifferently, she gently coaxed Liu Yun, sighing in her heart, no matter how unruly and mischievous she is, there are still times when she is afraid.
Sensing Yanran's observation, Lan Xi felt a chill in her heart. She didn't have time to think about why Liuyun became so timid. What she was worried about now was Yanran's suspicion. Her cousin was not a simple person. In the capital,
This well-known Miss Ji was extremely talented and intelligent. Lan Xi immediately had a clue in her mind and had to dispel her cousin's suspicion. Their cousin's status in Master Mu's heart was not ordinary, because they were both legitimate daughters.
Because of the relationship, Lan Xi always felt that Yanran looked at her with a bit of disdain and pity, so she could only endure it secretly. Ji Yanran could not afford to offend her more than Liu Yun.
"How did Liu Yun fall into the lake?" Sure enough, Ji Yanran asked about it and looked directly at Lan Xi, "I heard that you and Liu Yun were together?"
"Yes, Lan Xi was with the eldest sister. At that time, the eldest sister said that Mr. Shen was coming. Lan Xi was looking at the promenade on the other side of the lake. When Lan Xi came back to her senses, her sister had already fallen into the lake." A pair of clear eyes.
His eyes, coupled with his sincere words, seemed very calm.
It's just that such calmness was not recognized by Ji Yanran. Unlike Liuyun, she was not a woman who grew up in a boudoir. Her father asked her to study and practice calligraphy with her brothers. He never neglected her because she was a woman. On the contrary, she
He doted on her even more. As long as she wanted to learn, her father would never impose any restrictions.
Two years ago, she married Xu Yao, the only son of the Minister of Justice, and they had a very good relationship. Xu Yao was very busy with official duties and was highly appreciated by the emperor. He often had to leave the capital for work, and would go away for a month or two. Ji Yanran would often meet
Following Xu Yao to take care of his daily life, Xu's mother was quite dissatisfied at first, but later she saw that Yanran really took good care of Xu Yao, and she didn't even have any minor ailments, so she finally felt relieved.
This time, Xu Yao came to Yangcheng for business. Yan Ran also wanted to come and see Liu Yun and Master Mu, so she came with him.
"Liu Yun, is that true?" Yan Ran let go of her hand and saw Liu Yun's pale little face crying like a little cat. She shook her head helplessly and picked up the brocade handkerchief to wipe her tears while teasing, "
She is almost hair-length and is still crying like a child. If someone sees her, she will be laughed at."
"Cousin is not someone else." Liu Yun pouted and blinked coquettishly. The seemingly innocent look made Yan Ran smile slightly, but Liu Yun immediately put away his smile and turned his head to look at Lan Xi without saying a word.
There was a flash of anger.
Lan Xi's heart was shaken, and she clenched her fists with the hands hidden in her sleeves. She suppressed her emotions and kept her face as normal as usual. However, Liu Yun's next words suddenly broke the calmness that she had managed to maintain.
"Lan Xi, why did you push me?" The overbearing accusation was made without any hesitation, as if he had not considered at all how serious an accusation it was.
