Chapter 2 Who is that person outside?
When Wen Ling woke up again, it was already noon outside.
She was awakened by the intermittent sobbing sounds coming from the bedside, and her head felt a little swollen.
Wen Ling's mind is still a little confused.
She was originally the last remaining word spirit in another world, worshipped by thousands of believers.
Because he predicted the impending catastrophic natural disaster to mankind and leaked the secret, he was retaliated against and punished by heaven. He was reduced to ashes and died.
I didn't expect that when I woke up again last night, I had turned into the eldest daughter of the Minister of Revenue, who was born mentally retarded and the Princess of Chen who had just got married yesterday.
I originally thought that I had traveled through time, but I found that there was a remnant of her soul in this body.
This was originally her body, or rather, this Wen Ling was her.
Because her original soul did not come, she was born with an incomplete soul and became demented for eighteen years.
Wen Ling held her head and sat up on the bed, and the intermittent crying sounds at the head of the bed stopped abruptly.
"Miss, oh no, ma'am, are you awake?!"
A round-faced little maidservant at the head of the bed said with great surprise.
The round-faced little maid was called Tingyin. She was the biological daughter of her deceased wet nurse and the only person in the Wen family who was kind to her.
"Miss, you don't know that you have been unconscious for a whole day and night since the prince sent you back!"
"When the prince sent you back, you were covered in blood. It was so scary. I thought something had happened to you, young lady!"
Tingyin started to babble as soon as she saw Wen Ling wake up.
Perhaps she was used to the fact that Wen Ling, who was born stupid, would not respond to her, so she spoke more like she was talking to herself.
"Madam, you must be hungry. Here are two pieces of red date cakes that I hid from the wedding the day before yesterday. Eat them first to fill your stomach. I will go to the kitchen outside to make you something hot to eat."
Tingyin carefully took the red date cake wrapped in a handkerchief from the table and handed it to Wen Ling.
Wen Ling opened her handkerchief, picked up the red date cake and took a bite. Hmm... so rich and delicious!
As the only word spirit from another world, she receives worship and offerings from humans.
But she couldn't taste human food.
I didn’t realize until now that human food is so delicious!
For a moment, Wen Ling felt that her thousands of years as a word spirit in the human world were wasted.
"Madam, please eat slowly and don't choke. I will make you some hot food."
Tingyin felt so distressed when she saw Wen Ling eating so voraciously.
Just as Tingyin was about to push the door open and go out, Wen Ling, who was sitting on the bed, grabbed her hand and whispered, "Wait a minute, don't go out."
Tingyin thought Wen Ling was afraid of being alone in an unfamiliar environment, so she patiently comforted her: "Don't be afraid, Madam. This is the palace, your future home. It's very safe here..."
“Knock, knock, knock…”
Before she could finish her words, there was a rhythmic knock on the door from outside.
"Who is it?" Tingyin could only turn around and ask loudly.
A woman's voice came from outside: "It's me, Gao Zhi. Is Madam awake? I'm here to bring her some hot water."
Gao Zhi was another maid that came with Wen Ling as a dowry.
It's just that she was sent by the stepmother and the second young lady. When she got married the day before yesterday, she was indifferent to Wen Ling from the moment she left the house, and was very arrogant.
Just like all the servants in the Wen family who look down on Wen Ling.
Tingyin got angry when she heard Gao Zhi outside. She cursed and prepared to open the door: "You still remember to bring hot water to Madam? Madam has not seen you since she came back the day before yesterday. Where have you been..."
"Don't open the door."
Wen Ling's voice sounded again.
Tingyin's hand paused as she was about to open the door. She turned to look at Wen Ling, only to find that the lady today seemed a little different.
Her gaze was no longer unfocused like before, but now it was beautiful but empty.
Today her eyes were full of spirit. She, who was originally as beautiful as a rag doll, seemed to come alive all of a sudden.
"Madam, you are not stupid?" Tingyin asked in disbelief.
Wen Ling nodded: "Well, he should not be stupid anymore. I will tell you the details later."
"Knock-knock-knock—"
There was another knock on the door, and Gao Zhi urged: "Tingyin, I think I heard the young lady's voice, open the door for me quickly, the hot water is getting cold!"
"Don't open the door."
Without waiting for Tingyin to speak, Wen Ling repeated it again.
She got off the bed, snapped her fingers lightly, and an orange-yellow flame appeared on her fingertips.
Wen Ling blew on the small flame and said, "Look for a tall branch."
The flame paused for a moment, then drifted in one direction.
Wen Ling ignored Tingyin's jaw that was about to drop to the ground and just said, "Follow me."
Then he followed the flame first, and Tingyin had no choice but to follow behind.
The flames swayed forward and finally stopped in front of the side door of the ear room.
The room where Wen Ling lives is the master bedroom. In order to make it easier for the servants to take care of her, there is an ear room connected to it outside the screen.
There is a small door connecting the ear room and the master bedroom, so the servants on duty can sleep inside at night.
Wen Ling kicked open the door of the ear room.
As soon as the door opened, I saw a pair of feet floating in the air.
When I looked up, I saw that the tall branch that had been missing for a day and a night was hanging on the white silk on the beam with a distorted face.
Her face was full of pain, her eyes were wide open in horror, her mouth was wide open, and she had long since stopped breathing.
When Tingyin saw this scene, she was so frightened that she fell to the ground and forgot even to scream.
"Gao Zhi, dead...dead?!" He listened for a long time before finding his voice again: "Then...who is the person calling me at the door?"
“Knock, knock, knock…”
The rhythmic knocking on the door sounded again.
Gao Zhi's voice outside was already a little impatient, and he urged even more anxiously: "Tingyin, open the door, why don't you open the door when the lady wakes up? Open the door!"
Tingyin felt creepy at this moment, and the hair on his body stood up.
If the lady hadn't told her not to open the door, then what could she have let in? !
Tingyin got up from the ground and tried to protect Wen Ling: "Don't be afraid, Madam, I am here, I will protect you!"
"Although I am of no use, if you want to hurt the young lady, you should step over my body first!"
"If it really doesn't work, if we all become ghosts, I can still keep you company on the road to the underworld..."
Seeing that Tingyin was getting more and more outrageous, Wen Ling couldn't help but shout to stop: "Wait, who said she could hurt us?"
“Ah?” Tingyin was stunned: “But…but there is a ghost outside.”
"It's just a little hanged ghost. There's nothing to be afraid of."
As soon as Wen Ling finished speaking, there was a "bang bang" sound of the door being slammed outside.
Gao Zhi's voice at the door became sharp and piercing: "Open the door, bitch, I told you to open the door!!"
Tingyin was terrified: "Madam, I think she is very scary!"
