Thirty-ninth bowl of soup (2)
The female ghost didn't observe where she was at the first time, but looked at her hands with a little fascination—although the hands were not very clean, and there were even some scars, but they couldn't match the excitement that she had a real body.
It doesn't matter even if the body is a little broken, it's already very good compared to being bitten by a hundred ghosts in the Wangchuan River. The female ghost admired her body for a while, and then suddenly realized a problem—except for Wang Chuanhe, she had no memory.
Why she jumped down the Wangchuan River, she couldn't remember. She only knew that she must go back, to that world. But what do you do when you go back? She stayed in the Wangchuan River for an unknown amount of time, so what if she went back
Don't know, don't remember.
But, by all means, go back.
No matter what the cost. The female ghost clenched her fists silently, her eyes were as cold as winter snow, the pain in her body was nothing at all, compared to what she suffered in the Wangchuan River, this injury was nothing painful.
She forgot, but she will slowly remember.
At this moment, the window of the firewood room was opened, revealing the head of a middle-aged woman. Seeing the female ghost standing there, she asked triumphantly, "Miss San, did you realize your mistake? Go and make amends to Mrs. Master and the Eldest Miss and the Second Miss, and this matter will not be mentioned."
The female ghost wasn't sure what the situation was, but she also knew that people had to bow their heads under the eaves. She didn't have any principles to keep as a ghost, so she immediately acted like she was lying low and being small: "Yes, I know I was wrong. , please let me out."
"That's about the same." The woman nodded, and then the windows were closed, and the firewood room became dark again, and the light was dim, covering the slightly raised smile on the female ghost's mouth.
With a creak, the door of the woodshed was opened, and the middle-aged woman didn't even come in. She looked very disgusted with this abandoned woodshed that exuded eerie dampness, but waved at the female ghost casually, although she shouted Miss San, but obviously, "Miss San" is just a title.
What kind of lady would be treated like this at home? Hearing that the old lady and the other two young ladies are juxtaposed by the mother-in-law, I think I am alone. The female ghost followed behind the woman without a trace, and during the period, the mother-in-law babbled a lot of nonsense. The female ghost listened carefully and found some useful information from this pile of nonsense.
It turns out that she is Miss Xu's family now, named Xu Lianyi, the product of Mr. Xu's accidental drunkenness many years ago. Her biological mother had a difficult delivery when she was born. Since then, she has been a dispensable figure in the mansion. Master Xu regarded her as a disgrace, and because of her beautiful appearance, which resembled her birth mother, she was hated by his wife, and even the two concubines also looked down on her.
I don’t know how many times I have been beaten and tortured since I was a child. I don’t know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I don’t know a few big characters. The only thing is my temper.
Earlier, when the king heard that the Xu family had two daughters, both of whom were well-known and talented, he was very interested, so he ordered Master Xu to send a daughter to the palace.
This is a great thing - if it is not the current king.
Today's king is an out-and-out tyrant, let alone the daughter of the Xu family. Five years ago, the daughter of the prime minister's family, who was known as the number one beauty, was sent to the palace. Being so different should be able to win the king's heart, but who knows, the lady was very sympathetic to the king at first, but after a few months, she was dragged out because of a momentary negligence and said something that the king didn't like to hear Beat to death!
As for what he said - the king is moody, what he likes today may not be liked in a few days, and what he hated yesterday may not be hated today, it is impossible to fathom.
So when he heard that the king wanted the Xu family's daughter to enter the palace, the eldest lady and the second lady rushed to the yard of Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu and cried tearfully. Your Majesty is born handsome, but who can stand that bloodthirsty and brutal temperament? No matter who of the two of them enters the palace, they probably won't live for three days!
Looking at ancient and modern times, probably only the harem of the current king is the most harmonious. The concubines and wives are very united and friendly, they never compete for favor, and even give in to each other. Today, I have been favored, and maybe I died in a daze in the middle of the night, and I don't know why.
In addition, the king never cared about other people's feelings, every time he was favored was a kind of torture for the beauties of the harem. They like the splendor and wealth, but they don't like their lives hanging on the knife's edge every day.
So the Xu family naturally thought of Xu Lianyi. Isn't there a ready-made one? Except for the cruel character of the king, he also has a very wicked taste. He deliberately didn't say which one he called into the palace - he just wanted to see how the Xu family would respond. He probably didn't expect that the Xu family had a father who didn't love his mother. Do not love the daughter
But Xu Lianyi's character is extremely stubborn, and no one can force her to do something she doesn't want to do. When she heard that she was going to enter the palace to serve the cruel king, she immediately refused. Although she can't read and hasn't read any books, she is not deaf. People in the house have already spread the word about what the king looks like, and it can stop children from crying at night!
She refused to enter the palace, no matter how persecuted by the Xu family, Master Xu was so angry that he asked for family law. Xu Lianyi was beaten and thrown into the firewood room. He did not drink a sip of water or eat a mouthful of food for seven days and seven nights. Master Xu just waited. She gave in.
The middle-aged woman would come to ask Xu Lianyi every day if she admitted her mistake, and Xu Lianyi always answered no. The little girl survived for seven days, her wounds were so serious that she didn't heal her body and she didn't eat any food. She was afraid she might die, so she was possessed by a female ghost.
But this was exactly what the female ghost wanted, she was still thinking about how she would get into the palace to meet the king, and then assassinate him.
In the flower hall, Mr. Xu's family of four was waiting there. After Xu Lianyi entered, he was forced to kneel on the ground, humbly prostrating. She doesn't look like a lady from the Xu family, but rather a dog.
The treatment in this mansion is not even as good as that of a servant.
Xu Lianyi knelt on the ground without changing her face. The bloody wound on her knee did not make her feel pain. She just lay on the ground and begged for mercy: "I know I was wrong, and please forgive my father, mother and sister."
Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. She has been able to endure in Wangchuan River for so many years, so she is afraid that these little humans will not succeed.
The sadness and pain that belonged to the real Xu Lianyi in her chest have not yet dissipated. The female ghost is not afraid of any physical pain, but she can't ignore what's in her heart—that's not her heart, she is hurting for others.
Master Xu and the others can't really let Xu Lianyi die. After all, sending the daughter of the Xu family to the palace is different from sending a fake one to the palace. No matter what, Xu Lianyi is indeed the daughter of the Xu family. Entering the palace, even if the king doesn't like it, if he cuts off his head, he won't lose anything.
And getting rid of an annoying broom star is a once-in-a-lifetime event.
Mrs. Xu picked up the delicately drawn willow eyebrows, and said: "Lianyi, let me tell you, don't bite Lu Dongbin because you don't know good people. She will be the king's woman after entering the palace. If you can win the king's favor, you will To be able to rise to the top, such a good opportunity is given to you, but you don't want it, you really have no knowledge."
Xu Lianyi knelt down and said, "Mother is right."
She didn't talk back or be stubborn, but Mrs. Xu had nothing to say. In the past, every time she said a word, the other party always had to refute, and it was the first time that she accepted her fate quietly like this.
But Xu Lianyi was clear in his heart. The reason why the king wanted the daughters of the Xu family was because the daughters of the Xu family were all talented women, but this Xu Lianyi was an illiterate who could not read a single word. completely different - what would he do? That is a master who shouts to be beaten and killed when he is not happy. What a good opportunity, I am afraid it is a good opportunity to die.
When the time comes, the king will be furious, isn't Xu Lianyi the one closest to him? It's hard to say whether he can save his life at that time, so how can he talk about rising to the top? It's really his spring and autumn dream!
"Since you are sensible, let's stop this matter." Master Xu nodded. "You pack up, it's only half a month before you enter the palace."
"Really, I wish I hadn't promised earlier. Now there is only half of the one-month period left, and it's all because of you!" The young lady spat at Xu Lianyi, very disdainful.
Second Miss also rolled her eyes at the sky.
Xu Lianyi raised her head and said: "Since I have agreed to enter the palace, it can't be like this now, right? Sending a scarred daughter into the palace - father can think carefully, if I don't get the favor of the king, the king will be very angry Gongxin, slashing me with a knife is naturally a hundred, but the Xu family who gave away a daughter like me, can they be praised?"
Master Xu's complexion changed slightly, "Come here, invite the doctor!"
After finishing speaking, he gave Xu Lianyi a threatening look: "You'd better give me a little peace of mind. You can ask for anything in the next half month, but you'd better not have any wrong thoughts."
Xu Lianyi smiled a little: "How could it be, father."
Mrs. Xu seemed to really hate Xu Lianyi to the core, so the servants who attacked her also exerted all their strength every time. The wounds on many parts of Xu Lianyi's body had festered, and some places were festering. After all, the weather It was hot, and the woodshed was very humid, and there were even many bugs.
But when the doctor treated her wound, she was expressionless, as if she didn't feel any pain at all.
Because there are too many scars, the king will be angry immediately after being sent to the palace. After all, Master Xu has to consider the whole Xu family. Xu Lianyi can anger the king and die later, but she can't because of her own scars. At that time, the king will definitely anger the entire Xu family, and at that time, it may be too late for him to regret it.
So Mr. Xu ordered someone to send the Scar Removing Jade Ointment treasured by the Xu family. A small piece was priceless, and the whole bottle was used by Xu Lianyi. The jade ointment had a miraculous effect, and the scars on Xu Lianyi's body fell off in a few days, leaving no trace.
