Chapter 1 The Young Lady 1
The Prime Minister's Residence
Frostfall Pavilion
On the bed, a woman with a thick white cloth wrapped around her forehead and a deathly pale face slowly opened her eyes.
A pretty maid, who had been squatting by the bed, saw that Shangguan Wan'er, who had been unconscious for many days, had finally woken up. She excitedly exclaimed, "Waaah, Miss, you're finally awake!"
Shangguan Wan'er felt a headache and weakness all over her body. She frowned uncomfortably, and after a while, she asked Xiaoju to help her up.
Shangguan Wan'er carefully touched the white cloth wrapped around her forehead, her eyes filled with coldness. "How long have I been asleep?"
Xiaoju's eyes reddened, and she choked out, "Miss, you...you've been unconscious for five days."
Shangguan Wan'er's face darkened. "Will the wound on my forehead leave a scar?"
Looking at Shangguan Wan'er's gloomy face, Xiaoju whispered, "Miss, the doctor said there will be a small scar."
Shangguan Wan'er: !!!
A doctor? She's so badly injured, don't the Prime Minister and the others want to get her a royal physician? Or do they think she's unworthy?
If she gets a scar, wouldn't her life be ruined?
She felt a surge of hatred whenever she thought about how Luo Xi had pushed her away forcefully that day, causing her to bump into a protruding rock in the artificial hill.
If it weren't for Luo Xi, she wouldn't have bumped into the rocks of the artificial hill, and she wouldn't have been left with a scar.
Shangguan Wan'er took a deep breath, "Did her uncle and aunt punish her?"
She suffered such serious injuries, it wouldn't be right for them not to punish Luo Xi.
Xiaoju: !!!
She stammered, "Miss, the Prime Minister... the Prime Minister did not punish you."
"Even your injury was kept completely secret by the people in the Prime Minister's residence, so that no word that could affect the young lady's reputation could be spread."
Shangguan Wan'er: !!!
She clenched her fists tightly, extremely unwilling to accept it.
Her parents are gone, and now she is living under someone else's roof with no one to rely on, which is why they treat her so badly.
Just wait, one day she will make them pay for what they have done.
Especially Luo Xi.
Shangguan Wan'er: "Has my second cousin not returned from Jiangnan yet?"
Luo Cheng was the prime minister's illegitimate son. She knew he liked her, but she didn't like him. So, in the past, she kept her distance from him.
But now, she has no choice but to use him.
Xiaoju: "Miss, the Second Young Master has not yet returned to the manor."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wan'er pursed her lips thoughtfully. Suddenly, she remembered her orange cat, "By the way, where's Little Fluffy?"
Xiaoju: "Miss, it...it's gone. That day, the eldest young lady had it beaten to death."
Shangguan Wan'er: !!!
That orange cat was left to her by her mother.
She gritted her teeth and shouted, "Luo Xi!"
On the other side,
Yuelingyuan,
Luo Xi: "Awake?"
That day, Luo Xi was passing through the small garden when she ran into Shangguan Wan'er. At that moment, Shangguan Wan'er's cat suddenly rushed towards her with a fierce look in its eyes, and she kicked it twice.
That Shangguan Wan'er seems to have something wrong with her. Instead of hugging her cat and moving it away, she rushed towards her, trying to hug her and tell her not to hit her cat, saying that her cat was very well-behaved.
At that moment, she forcefully pushed away Shangguan Wan'er, who was trying to hug her. Then, Shangguan Wan'er fell onto the artificial hill, her forehead bleeding, and she fainted.
Then her father arrived and sent someone to fetch a doctor for Shangguan Wan'er.
The orange cat that almost bit her was beaten to death by Luo Xi.
As for Shangguan Wan'er, pets resemble their owners; if her cat dislikes her so much, Shangguan Wan'er must feel the same way.
