Chapter 2 I won't chase the prince anymore
"Miss, Miss?"
A gentle call sounded in her ears, and Lan Xiyue slowly came back to her senses, turning her attention to Chuchun, who was standing beside her with a worried look on his face.
She subconsciously touched her empty stomach and said, "Chuchun, I'm so hungry now."
Upon hearing this, Chuchun's eyes were filled with self-blame and heartache. She quickly bowed and said, "I will go prepare some food for the young lady. She has been unconscious for three days and has not eaten anything. She must be extremely hungry."
After saying that, she turned around hurriedly and walked out.
Lan Xiyue sat by the carved window and began to carefully sort out the memories of the original owner of this body.
The original owner, Lan Xiyue, was the daughter of a marquis, of noble status, and her maternal grandfather's family was the powerful general's mansion that protected the country.
The original owner's mother died of heavy bleeding when giving birth to her, leaving behind her and a young son who was still crying for food.
The original owner's aunt, her mother's younger sister, volunteered to marry into the Marquis's mansion and became her second mother, saying that she was taking care of the two children left by her sister.
This aunt gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, in the first year after she married into the Marquis's mansion. They were only one year younger than the original owner. The old lady in the mansion was overjoyed.
This aunt doted on the original owner to the core. No matter how much trouble the original owner got into, the aunt never blamed him. Instead, she personally came to apologize with gifts.
No, her stepmother's deeds have become a legend in the capital. Everyone says that her stepmother is really magnanimous and kind-hearted like a bodhisattva. She wholeheartedly takes care of the two children left by her sister. Which stepmother can do so well? Sisters are just different!
Lan Xiyue, however, read a different feeling from the original owner's memories. Every time her aunt forgave her, every time she apologized, it was like an invisible knife, turning the original owner's personality into an arrogant and domineering one. The original owner was a well-known vicious and infatuated woman in the capital.
The original owner disliked music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Her loving aunt never forced her to learn, while her loving sister was forced to learn by her own mother. The original owner had secretly been delighted by this. Thinking of this, Lan Xiyue couldn't help but sneer. How could this be considered pampering? This was clearly a case of sweet words and a hidden dagger, crippling the original owner!
What about doing it for the two children left by her sister? That's all bullshit, it's all excuses. But the original owner thought that her aunt really loved her.
Alas! What a silly girl, you were fooled around. I'm afraid you've been reunited with your biological mother now. I hope you'll be born into a good family in your next life. Wake up and don't be so silly anymore.
Chuchun came in with some porridge and a few side dishes and placed them on the table nearby.
"Miss, you haven't eaten in three days. Now, have something light."
Lan Xiyue walked over and sat down. She was really hungry, so she picked up the porridge and started eating.
After filling her stomach, Chu Xia also returned with the doctor. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Lan Xiyue lying on the couch and said in surprise, "Miss, you're awake!"
"Um"
Chu Xia said to the doctor beside her: "Doctor Qi, since you are here, please take another look at our young lady."
Doctor Qi was the attending physician at Baicaotang. He was a skilled doctor and was highly respected by the people of the capital. He nodded and walked over. "Stretch out your hand, I'll take your pulse."
In her previous life, Lan Xiyue studied Chinese medicine and pharmacology with a strange old man, who was also a famous doctor with ghost hands. She knew very well that the injury on her forehead was not serious.
I don’t know why the original owner disappeared, causing me to travel through time and space.
She shook her head and said, "I'm fine. No need to look."
Lan Xiyue untied the gauze on her forehead. There was still some redness and swelling on her forehead, but the skin was not broken. Doctor Qi looked at the red and swollen area on her forehead and said nothing. He just left some medicine to reduce swelling and relieve pain and left.
Chuxia saw Doctor Qi off, and Yunqing and Lan Lingrou walked in.
Yun Qing looked at Lan Xiyue lying on the couch by the window and hurried over. "Yueyue, you're awake. Are you feeling unwell?"
Lan Lingrou's voice choked with sobs as she spoke, "Sister, you've been in a coma for three days. Mother and I were terribly worried. As soon as we heard you were awake, we came to see you."
Lan Xiyue curled her lips and said, "My aunt and sister are here. Don't worry, I'm tough and I'll be fine."
Lan Lingrou frowned, "Sister, why do you call mother aunt? Don't you usually call her mother?"
Yun Qing's body also stiffened. Lan Xiyue had always called her mother over the years, but today?
Lan Xiyue knows that you deliberately crippled the original owner, so it would be strange if I could be nice to you. "I should call her aunt. My biological mother is in the underworld, aunt, don't you agree?"
"Yueyue, why are you so distant today? Although I am your aunt, I am also the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion. Yueyue, just call me mother like before, just like Rou'er."
Lan Xiyue rubbed her head and said, "Aunt and sister, please go back. I just woke up and my mind is still a little confused. I want to rest."
Just then, Lan Zhenrong walked in. "Yueyue, can you please behave a little better every day and learn from Rou'er? Don't get into trouble outside all day long, okay?"
Lan Xiyue looked at the person who came in. This man was the original owner's father.
"What are you staring at? Did you hear what your father said? Which girl in the capital is like you, running out every few days to cause trouble? Look at how bad your reputation is. Which man in the capital would be willing to marry you? And you still dare to covet the crown prince? From now on, you are not allowed to go to the crown prince again."
Yun Qing took Lan Zhenrong's arm and said, "Okay, Master, Yueyue just woke up, so don't talk about her anymore."
"Yes, Daddy, Rou'er made a painting today. Daddy is free now, why not go and take a look and give Rou'er some pointers on what's lacking?"
Lan Zhenrong immediately softened his tone, "Okay, Rou'er is still less of a worry, unlike this evil girl who always causes trouble every day."
Yun Qing looked at Lan Xiyue and said with a loving smile, "Just take good care of yourself, Yueyue. We won't disturb your rest."
Lan Xiyue looked at their backs as they left. Their family of three was so harmonious that she felt she was redundant. Also, the original owner was a troublemaker who was always causing trouble outside. Her cheap father had long been fed up with her.
Besides, there is Lan Lingrou, a good girl, and this cheap father can't stand her even more.
Chuchun said distressedly, "Miss, don't be sad. The master is really angry this time. I heard that the master has prepared a lot of gifts to send to the East Palace to apologize to the prince!"
"Ah? It was me who was injured and unconscious, why should I send gifts to the prince to apologize?"
"My lady, you... have been so persistent with the Crown Prince that you've ruined his enjoyment of Tianxiang Tower. He's very unhappy, so I'm sending him gifts to appease him. Every time you've upset him, I've always prepared gifts for him to apologize. It's clear how much I love you."
After Chuchun finished speaking, she looked at her cautiously, fearing that her words would make the young lady angry.
Really? The look she gave Lan Zhenrong just now showed that he was disgusted with her. He even called her a wicked girl, but it was hard to tell that he loved her at all.
She waved her hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. I was blind before. I won't chase the prince anymore."
Chuchun and Chuxia looked at each other when they heard this. They knew very well that the young lady was obsessed with the prince. Why was it so unbelievable when the young lady said this now?
