The original owner was called Chang Miaoer.
His father, Chang Yongnian, came from a prominent family and was the current prefect of Qingzhou, while his mother, Concubine Qing, was a singer from a brothel, which put her in a lower position among the concubines in the mansion.
When Concubine Qing first entered the mansion, she was favored by Chang Yongnian for a period of time because of her extraordinary figure and appearance, and gave birth to Chang Miaoer, the third child.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Chang Yongnian was extremely lustful. During the time when Concubine Qing was pregnant and gave birth to Chang Miaoer, there was a new person in the mansion, and she, the old one, was forgotten. She could only survive under the control of the mistress Lin together with the other concubines in the mansion.
Aunt Qing is beautiful but weak and indecisive. She struggled to raise Chang Miaoer in this ferocious backyard. Over time, her appearance gradually faded like a flower that has passed its blooming period.
The servants in the courtyard saw this and gradually understood Aunt Qing's character day after day, so they often pretended to obey her but actually disobeyed her, and when they saw that there was no more money to be made, they each found a way to leave.
The only one left was the little maid Luo'er, who was brought by Concubine Qing when she entered the mansion, and she had been guarding this yard ever since.
A few days ago, the weather was warm and cold, and the charcoal fire in their yard was cut off, so they had no way to keep warm. The two adults, Aunt Qing and Luo'er, were fine, but Chang Miao'er was young and weak and couldn't bear the cold, and she kept coughing intermittently.
She had a high fever last night. Seeing that she had no other choice, Aunt Qing went to the mistress of the mansion, Madam Lin, for help, which led to the condition she just diagnosed.
“Ahem…”
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but cough twice again.
According to the original owner's memory, Lin rescued her not out of kindness, but in order to marry off her concubine's daughter as a bargaining chip and add connections to the Chang Mansion.
In the original owner's memory, she was finally sent as a gift to the bed of the Sixth Prince, King Ning. King Ning was notorious for his cruelty towards women. The original owner died at his hands after only a few years with him.
Chang Yongnian took advantage of this opportunity to get in touch with Prince Ning and was transferred back to the capital to join the Ministry of Revenue. From then on, he rose rapidly and became a second-rank official.
Poor Aunt Qing cried so much that she went blind, and she didn't even get to see her daughter's body. She died of depression in the small courtyard of the Chang Mansion, and was hastily buried in a thin coffin.
The original owner was unwilling to accept this ending and was filled with hatred.
As soon as Tian Miaomiao took over this body, she couldn't help but empathize with it, and was almost disturbed by this emotion to do something.
After a moment, she managed to calm down her emotions and looked at the mission.
Chang Miao'er's wish: to no longer be a victim of the Chang family, to have her own happiness, and to be able to support her mother, Concubine Qing, and to live in peace until old age.
Tian Miaomiao has now become the young Chang Miaoer.
She moved her body and found that she was only wearing a thin nightgown. She felt dizzy and dizzy as if she had caught a cold. As she moved, the quilt slipped off her body and the cold air in the room rushed towards her.
"Hiss~"
She quickly reached out and put the quilt that had slipped off back on her body, wrapping herself tighter.
At this moment, the wooden door of the room made a slight sound and was then pushed open from the outside.
"Miss San, are you awake?!"
When Luo'er came in and saw Chang Miao'er waking up in bed, her face was full of surprise.
"Yeah!" She nodded, wrapped the quilt tightly around her, adjusted her position, and half-leaned on the bed.
Seeing this, Luo'er put the two bags of herbs in her hand on the table, walked over and took a pillow and placed it behind Chang Miao'er, allowing her to lean half-way on the bed to feel more comfortable.
Seeing her lean back, Luo'er said, "Miss San, please sit down first. I'll go make some medicine for you."
"Sister Luo'er, where is my aunt now?" Chang Miao'er asked, pulling Luo'er's sleeve.
Luo'er had a pretty face and a straightforward personality, and her expression couldn't hide her true feelings. Upon hearing this, a trace of confusion flashed across her face, and she stammered, "Third Miss, Aunt Qing... went to the Madam's place for some business, and will be back soon."
When Chang Miaoer heard this, she knew that Aunt Qing had found a doctor for her, but it also cost a considerable price from the mistress Lin.
She was small and weak at the moment, and could not do anything for a while. After a long time, she could only purse her lips and say, "Sister Luo'er, please heat up some water for me. It's cold outside and the dew is heavy. I'll warm myself up when I come back."
Luo'er nodded and went out with the herbs.
The place where medicine was boiled in the yard was a small stove used to heat tea. It was crudely made and there was no stove originally. However, in order to heat up the cold rice brought back by the generals, Aunt Qing and Luo'er secretly built one.
At this time, Luo'er first added water to the medicine pot borrowed from the kitchen in the mansion to boil the medicine, and controlled the heat little by little to boil out the fragrance of the medicine. After boiling for a full hour, she took down the medicine pot and poured the medicine into a porcelain bowl.
Then, he heated a pot of water in a teapot.
When Luo'er entered the room carrying the bowl of freshly brewed medicine, she saw her third young lady in plain clothes wrapped in a quilt, quietly looking at the tree outside the window, wondering what she was thinking about.
"Miss Third, take your medicine." she said.
Chang Miaoer came back to her senses and saw the bowl of soup with a strong medicinal smell. She couldn't help but frown.
But she was not a real child after all. What she thought was one thing and what she did was another. After getting out of bed, she saw that the temperature of the medicine was suitable for drinking, so she pinched her nose and drank it in big gulps.
The strong smell of medicine almost made her nauseous, and her expression showed a little. Luo'er took out a piece of cake from her bosom and coaxed her: "Miss San, have a bite to calm the smell."
Chang Miaoer took it and found that the pastry was a little dry, perhaps because it had been stored for too long. However, the slightly sweet taste in her mouth did suppress the taste of medicine in her mouth.
Seeing that she had finished eating, Luo'er smiled slightly, took the medicine bowl and said, "Miss, I'll go to the kitchen to get some food. After you take the medicine, go lie down on the bed and rest for a while."
Chang Miaoer nodded obediently.
The three of them, the master and the servants, had to go to the big kitchen to get their meals, and no one would be waited for after the time was up. Seeing Chang Miaoer lying down, Luo'er did not delay any longer and hurried out.
As soon as Luo'er left, Chang Miao'er was the only one left in the room. She began to sit cross-legged and seize the time to practice the Green Water Technique.
This time she was lucky. Unlike the last mission where she couldn't practice, Chang Miaoer's physical training went smoothly this time. By the time it was completely dark, she had barely retained a trace of internal strength.
With this internal force in her body, her condition improved a little, her hearing became much sharper, and she heard the footsteps coming from outside the door.
"Aunt Qing, hold on to me. We'll be in the room soon."
"Luo'er, I'm fine..."
As the footsteps approached, the sound of two people talking gradually came from outside the room.
From the sound, Aunt Qing was supported by Luo'er back to her room. She didn't come to see Chang Miao'er, so she must have been seriously injured.
After all, what the mistress of the Chang family likes most is to set rules for the concubines in the mansion. It is common to make them stand for two or three hours. Chang Miaoer had expected this.
But when she heard the screams of pain coming from across the wall, her half-closed eyes still flashed.
She won't let this continue!
