Chapter 186 So that's how it is
Sheng Sheng wanted to say that she hadn't robbed them, that she didn't know what had happened, and that she wanted to stand up and question them about why they had treated her this way.
But she was so hungry, so cold, and she had lost so much blood that she didn't have the strength to speak.
My stomach is empty; it feels like I haven't eaten in ages.
The woman in front of me was wearing thick winter clothes, but she was only wearing a thin cotton coat with several holes in it.
She was so hungry and so cold!
Sheng Sheng felt extremely aggrieved. Where was she? She missed her father, mother, and her brothers and sisters so much.
Footsteps sounded outside the door, and Butler Wang led in a man dressed in a gray Taoist robe, calling out, "Madam, Madam... the Master has arrived!"
master?
What master?
Sheng Sheng felt dizzy and tried to see the face of the man who walked in, but the woman in front of her casually tossed her aside, and she was thrown into a corner as lightly as a piece of paper.
She struggled to her feet, curled up and hugged herself, ignoring her still-bleeding wounds, her only thought was to warm herself up.
The old woman once said that before a person dies, they will feel very, very cold, until they faint from the cold, which means they are about to die.
So, is Sheng Sheng going to die now?
"Congratulations, Madam. Miss's condition has stabilized. She only needs to take her medicine for the last time today, and then she will no longer need to take any more medicine."
"Really?! Master, is what you're saying true?!"
"Of course it's true. I personally treated Miss's illness. Would I lie to you?"
"Master, that's not what I meant! So, will my Weiwei be able to live like a normal person from now on?"
"No, Miss's fate is not good. She was born weak and should have died at full term. For the past five years, she has had to drink blood and take medicine every month. She has only survived by borrowing the good fortune of others. Although she will not need to take medicine in the future and will live peacefully to the age of sixty, she will still be weak and need to be extra careful."
"Good, good, it's good that you're alive, it's good that you're alive!"
Sheng Sheng was about to lose consciousness when she heard another cry, followed by what seemed like a heavy rain outside.
Sheng Sheng kept her eyes closed, too weak to open them to see how heavy the rain was.
However, it will definitely be a torrential downpour.
The sound of the rain was so loud that she couldn't hear anything else.
"Butler Wang, throw her out. Her good fortune has already been taken by my Weiwei. Now she's just a jinxed little slut. Throw her out quickly, don't let her stay here and bring bad luck to our mansion."
"Yes, madam."
In a daze, I felt myself being lifted up and then wrapped in a tattered cloth.
After walking for a long time, I heard the sound of a door opening.
The bolt was opened, and a sound could be heard.
"Throw her into the back alley, far away, so her bad luck doesn't harm our young lady again."
Um……?
She struggled to her feet in agony and saw the man's face—it was none other than the beggar she had seen on the street that day!
She remembered—it was the Duke of Jingguo's mansion. It turned out that she had been kept in the Duke of Jingguo's mansion to make blood packets for Bai Weiwei, the eldest daughter of Jingu Shares.
So that's how it is. She was abandoned by the Duke of Jingguo's mansion and was picked up by her brother who happened to be passing by!
She tried to call out, but her voice, barely loud as a mosquito's buzz, was quickly drowned out by the torrential rain, and no one could hear her.
"It hurts so much..."
The little dumpling was soaked through by the rain and felt cold all over.
Is Sheng Sheng going to die?
She didn't want to die; she wanted to tell everyone the truth and seek justice for herself!
A few barks rang out in front of me, and after a while, a man carrying an umbrella walked briskly towards me.
Sheng Sheng smiled happily. It was her brother; she wouldn't die...
...
Stone looked at his little master, who was frowning in pain and sweating profusely. He was extremely worried, but no matter how much he pushed her, she didn't respond.
Having no other choice, Shi Tou ran out of the tent and found Zi Juan, who was chatting with other palace maids. He grabbed her skirt with his mouth and pulled her back into the tent.
Zijuan was startled. Seeing Shitou's unusual behavior, she didn't bother to say goodbye to the others and quickly followed Shitou back to the tent.
Stone was howling and thrashing about on the bed. Zijuan, seeing her covered in sweat and still crying out for help, was terrified. She quickly pulled back the covers to let her air out and called out, "Princess, Princess, Princess, wake up!"
"ah!"
She sat up, panting, her small face already streaked with tears. Zijuan felt a pang of heartache and hurriedly wiped away her tears and patted her back.
"Princess, did you have a nightmare?"
Sheng Sheng's emotions gradually calmed down under Zijuan's gentle pats, and her blurred vision cleared. As far as the eye could see, there were still familiar tents. She breathed a sigh of relief, but the tears still wet at the corners of her eyes reminded her of the palpitations she had just felt.
Was that just a dream?
"Princess? Are you alright?"
Sheng Sheng looked somewhat helpless, raised her hand to look at her wrist, and saw no bright red blood beads as in her dream, nor any glaring wound.
He wasn't wearing tattered clothes, and his belly was full.
She was not bullied, nor was she thrown out into the rain.
Sheng Sheng pouted and burst into Zi Juan's arms, crying, "Waaah, Sister Zi Juan, Sheng Sheng had a nightmare..."
The little dumpling was sobbing uncontrollably, feeling incredibly wronged, her voice trembling as if she were dreaming of some terrible monster. Zijuan rarely saw Shengsheng like this, and she couldn't care less about anything else, her heart aching for her, her eyes only on the little dumpling.
Zijuan gently stroked Shengsheng's back, softly comforting her, "Princess, don't be afraid, it's all fake, it's all a dream, it's not real."
After the noise subsided, Shi Tou, with his short legs, huffed and puffed as he carried the blanket to cover her, afraid that she would catch a cold.
The little dumpling whimpered a few times, biting its lip and murmuring softly, "It's not fake..."
Zijuan didn't hear her clearly: "Huh? Princess, what did you just say?"
Sheng Sheng shook her head, not wanting to recall the things in her dream for the time being.
After a moment of silence, she asked, "Sister Zijuan, do you know what happened the day my brother brought me back to the palace?"
Zijuan was still patting Shengsheng's back to calm her down when she heard this. She stopped and shook her head. "Princess, I was only assigned to Yuqing Palace by the Imperial Concubine later. I really don't know much about what happened before that. After all, the Second Prince kept it a secret from the Imperial Concubine. We didn't even know that the Princess had returned."
Sheng Sheng seemed lost in thought. She loosened her grip on her lower lip and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Zijuan was still a little worried about her, so she poured her a cup of hot tea and let Shengsheng drink it from her hand.
"Princess, would you like me to prepare some refreshments?"
