Hi😆
Chapter 5 punishment
Nangong Yue's
eyes darkened. In past life, remember that she missed her mother. With the help
of An niang, she secretly sneaked into the back courtyard, but saw a
scene that she would never forget. The mother seemed to be decades old. Her
hair which was once black as ink became white and dry. Her skin was dark,
yellow and lusterless. Her lips were dark, purple and dry. The most frightening
thing was her eyes, muddy, empty and gray … Sometimes she is quiet and
sometimes she is mad. When she is quiet, she is like a baby. When she is mad,
she is possessed by evil spirits. She is no longer the graceful and beautiful
Lin Shi.
The past can't be traced back. Nangong Yue
never thought that God had such pity on her and she was lucky to live again.
This time, she would never let the tragedy happen again!
Seeing her mother's appearance, Nangong Yue
finally relaxed completely, and a sense of dizziness came over her. Actually, her
body was very weak, but for the sake of her brother she stayed awake. Just after such a toss and turns her physical
strength has already reached the limit. To be able to sustain up to now is
entirely dependent on a breath of hardness. At this point, she finally can't
hold on and her body falls back...
"Yue Jie’er!" At this time,
Lin shi rushed to Nangong Yue, quickly grabbed her body and looked at
her worriedly. Seeing her small face pale without a trace of blood, white lips
are a little scary like a corpse, the breath is weak. Even the Nangong Xin beside
her looks better than her.
"Yue Jie’er, Yue Jie’er,
What's going on?" Lin shi worriedly call again and also said to the
pozi and maids around her, "Still don't rush to hold the Second
Young Master and the Third Young Miss and send them to Qianyun yuan!"
It's still early spring and the weather is still very cold. Wearing this wet
and cold jacket, it is easy to freeze out!
"Mother..." Nangong Yue struggled to
raise her hand and tried to tell her mother that she was okay, but nothing
could be said.
"Yes, Second Furen!"
"Nubi[2]
came to support the Second Young Master..."
“……”
Conversation, footsteps and low voices came
one after another, but Nangong Yue couldn't judge. Her eyes were hazy and her
brain was dim. She only felt that she was picked up by a pozi with a big
waist and was carried into a courtyard. Then she put it on the bed and seemed
to be fed some medicine soup. Mother”s kind and gentle whispers lingered in her
ears, followed by her consciousness faded away and didn't know anything...
In this sleep, Nangong Yue slept very
restlessly. she kept dreaming, for a while dream of her crazy mother; For a
while dream of her appearance in a wedding dress; A moment later she saw the
high knife fall and the ground was covered with blood; After a while saw Han
Lingfu and Bai Muxiao that dog men and women personally met her; and then she
found herself in the cold palace ,
lonely room..
“……”
“hn——hn——”
Nangong Yue burst into a cold sweat and
suddenly sat up from the bed. For a while she didn't know where she was. The
pale yellow curtain seemed strange to her ... until she saw her petite body,
the small palms did not respond.
Not a dream! All this is true! She said to
herself that she was really reborn!
"Miss Third, you are awake. That's
great." A round-faced maid of fifteen or sixteen years old came over in
surprise, holding a bowl of steaming decoction in her hand. "Doctor Wang's
medical skills were brilliant indeed. Nubi only fed half a bowl to the
young lady. Now the girl's color is much better. When the girl drinks the bowl,
it will be alright."
Nangong Yue blinked. After a while, she
finally remembered that this was her first-rank maid, Yimei. At the age of 10,
she left her house and went to her maternal grandfather's house. She only took
An Niang to serve with her. When she returned to her home, Yimei had already
married long ago and never seen her again.
She grabbed Yimei's arm eagerly and asked,
"Where's my brother?" Is my brother all right?
"Miss Third, Second Young Master is
alright. He is in the next room. Doctor Wang has seen and prescribed several
medicines.” Yimei quickly comforted her. "Miss Third, drink the soup
quickly." With that, she handed the medicine to Nangong Yue.
Nangong Yue reached out and took over. The
familiar herbal smell smelt with the heat. She frowned slightly and drank the
medicine soup in a rush.
"Yimei, I'm going to see my
brother." She jumped out of bed and Yimei immediately waited on her to
dress. When they left the room, they heard the voice of dialogue coming from
behind the thick curtain, which made Nangong Yue stop.
"Second Furen, it's really not a
matter of nubi!" Yun Niang cried and said, "Really because the
Second Young Master wanted to play hide-and-seek. Nubi and Juan bi
couldn't find him for a while..."
"Caap!" It was obvious that someone
had thrown a cup or bowl to the ground.
"Shut up!" Lin Shi was so angry that
she couldn't help raising her voice. "I used to treat you very well
usually. I just hope you will serve the second young master wholeheartedly. I
didn't expect you to serve the second young master like this!"
"Nubi is wronged! Second Furen,
Please forgive me!” The voice of
begging for mercy is accompanied by the sound of kowtowing again and again.
"Good!" Lin Shi said coldly,
"I'll give you a chance. If you can make it clear how the second young
master fell into the water, I'll take it leniently!"
"Second Furen," said Juan Bi
in a hurry, "Second Young Master is not careful..."
"Pop!" A heavy slap interrupted
her."Bailu, tell me what you saw," said Lin Shi.
Then a strange young female voice said
nervously, "Half an hour ago, nubi was trimming flowers and plants
in the garden as usual. Then the second young master was playing alone by the
lake. Later, Biao Xiaojie[3] and her maid suddenly came. They had
a good time with the Second Young Master at first, but they suddenly quarreled.
Then the Biao Xiaojie pushed the Second young master
down...” She spoke more and more softly,
but at the end of the day she could not hear her voice.
Biao Xiaojie!? Bai MuXiao!
Nangong Yue frowned. She could not help thinking that she had seen Bai muxiao
in the garden. At that time, she only thought about her brother and didn't have
time to pay attention to her. Unexpectedly, it was her! It was her!
What about previous life?
Nangong Yue clenched her fist hard and the
memory of her previous life flashed into her mind again. She still remembered
that her mother passed out when she knew that her brother had drowned. When her
mother woke up, her grandmother had punished Yun Niang and her brother's
maid girls and beat them up to 30 boards each. Those delicate people usually
live like a ladies' life in the house. How could they survive? They were all
gone for one night. In the end, my brother's drowning matter was ended by his
servant's untidy service!
But don’t know, originally all of these were
grandmother’s to do to cover for Bai muxiao! However, I was so foolish as to
regard her as my sister in my previous life!
Thinking of
this, Nangong Yue trembled a little and two rows of jade teeth were grinding
each other to death.
Suddenly footsteps heard, followed by a
familiar voice: "Second Furen, old Furen invites you!"
Listening to the voice, it seems to be Donger, the first-rank maid beside Su Shi.
