Chapter 1 Rebirth
The scorching and boiling temperature, the heart-wrenching pain... In a daze, Lu Xiang vaguely heard someone talking outside.
"It's been two days, and the fourth sister hasn't woken up yet?"
"To reply Miss Mingzhu, not yet."
"Let me go in and see if the medicine for Fourth Sister is ready?"
"Right away."
"Well, bring it over when it's ready."
"Yes, Miss Mingzhu."
There was the sound of the curtains being lifted, and a faint fragrance wafted into his nose. Lu Xiang slowly opened his eyes, but before he could see clearly what was in front of him, he immediately heard a surprised voice.
"Fourth sister, you finally woke up!"
The voice of the person who spoke was so familiar that it was sickening. Before Lu Xiang could come to his senses, he saw a red figure coming over and sitting down on the edge of the bed.
When he suddenly saw the face clearly, Lu Xiang's pupils shrank sharply, and the hatred in his heart poured out uncontrollably, with a scorching gaze as if he wanted to eat someone.
Lu Mingzhu...
It turned out to be Lu Mingzhu!
Could it be that God saw that she died miserably and sent Lu Mingzhu to accompany her?
No, this face is still childish.
A trace of doubt flashed through Lu Xiang's mind. How could such a young Lu Mingzhu be the charming and vicious one she saw before she died?
Her fingers subconsciously clenched the quilt on her body. The softness and silkiness of the quilt made her subconsciously lower her eyes to look.
I saw a pair of small hands as white as jade, and each finger was as tempting as green jade.
Is this... her hand?
Lu Xiang's eyes were filled with shock. Her hands had clearly become rough and ugly, like dry branches. Moreover, due to being shackled for many years, her fingers had also become deformed and no longer had the luster they once had...
Lu Mingzhu was so immersed in the joy of Lu Xiang waking up that she did not notice the constantly changing expressions on Lu Xiang's face.
"That's great, Fourth Sister. I was so worried about you during the past few days when you were in a coma. How are you? Are you still feeling unwell... Yunzhe, bring the medicine in quickly."
Clouds cover...
When Lu Xiang heard the name, his heart skipped a beat. The next moment, a girl in a pink skirt and jacket hurried in. When she saw Lu Xiang with his eyes open, a look of surprise immediately appeared on her round face. Then her eyes turned red and huge tears fell down like crazy.
"Wow, miss, you're finally awake." Yun Zha stood by the bed holding the medicine, crying with both grievance and joy.
Lu Xiang's throat tightened, and she suddenly threw off the quilt and got out of bed. She stood in front of Yun Zha, raised her hand, and touched Yun Zha's face with a trembling hand.
The palms of my hands are wet, they are the tears covered by clouds, so real.
It felt like someone had smashed a hole in Lu Xiang's heart with a hammer. Sorrow rushed through the gap, but was instantly filled with joy.
“Clouds cover… Clouds cover…” Lu Xiang murmured softly, feeling both self-blaming and happy.
This was a maid who was loyal to her, but she believed Lu Mingzhu's lies and ignored Yun Zha's explanation, allowing her to suffer injustice and die in vain.
At this moment, Lu Xiang was absolutely certain that she was reborn!
Yun Zha stared blankly at Lu Xiang who was crying silently. He was a little confused and didn't dare to move.
Lu Mingzhu frowned slightly, not understanding what Lu Xiang was talking about. After hesitating for a while, she said, "Fourth sister, are you feeling unwell? Huamei, go get the doctor."
When Lu Xiang heard Lu Mingzhu's voice, he withdrew his hand, wiped away his tears, and then looked at her again: "No need."
His voice was faint, but with a hint of hoarseness as if he had just recovered from a serious illness. His black eyes were like a quiet mountain stream, seemingly so clear and harmless, but in fact, deep in his eyes, there was an invisible and deep hatred surging.
Oh……
Lu Mingzhu, karma and reincarnation, I am back.
In my previous life, you bullied me, humiliated me, harmed me, and killed me!
In this life, I will make you taste all the pain and despair.
When the hot oil from the boiling soup poured into her mouth and then flowed into her body, the heart-wrenching and corrosive pain made her feel worse than death just thinking about it.
She would repay this grudge and hatred a thousand times.
"I'm glad you're okay." Lu Mingzhu smiled innocently, then looked at Yunzha, took the medicine bowl from her hand, and said softly, "Yunzha, go to the kitchen and see if there's anything to eat. Fourth sister has been in a coma for two days, and she must be hungry when she wakes up."
Yun Zhai didn't know how cruel Lu Mingzhu was, and felt annoyed when she heard her say, "Yes, yes, look at my brain, I'll go right away."
"No need to go." Lu Xiang took the medicine bowl expressionlessly, called Yun Zha, and then looked at Lu Mingzhu: "Do you have anything else to do?" She tried hard to suppress the hatred that was surging in her chest. Because she was suppressing it so much, the words she spoke were trembling.
Don't worry. After she is reborn, she will not be as naive as she was in her previous life, and she will not be fooled around by this mother and daughter again.
Are you going to kick us out?
"No... I'm fine." Lu Mingzhu was stunned and suddenly felt embarrassed: "Fourth sister, then you have a good rest, I'm leaving first."
Lu Xiang looked at her quietly, neither nodding nor speaking.
Lu Mingzhu felt uneasy when she saw her dark eyes, so she turned around and left in a hurry.
"Yun Zhai, pour out the medicine." Lu Xiang looked at the black medicine in his hand and spoke coldly.
"Ah? Why?" Yun Zhe was stunned: "Miss, is there something wrong with the medicine?"
“I smell disgusting.”
Yun Zhai glanced at Lu Xiang in surprise, only to see that her brows were furrowed and her face looked unsightly, as if she really smelled something extremely disgusting.
only……
"Miss, good medicine tastes bitter, but drinking it will cure your illness."
Lu Xiang gave her a faint smile: "Make me another bowl."
Yunzha doesn’t understand, nor does he need to understand.
In this life, she will definitely protect this loyal little girl and make her worry-free forever.
What's disgusting is not the medicine, but the things mixed in the medicine bowl.
From the time she woke up until now, Lu Xiang also remembered that she was reborn eight years ago. This year, she was thirteen years old. And two months ago, her father took Lu Mingzhu and her daughter back to the Lu family.
She was unconscious because she fell into the water.
In her previous life, everyone, including herself, thought so.
But after experiencing betrayal and tragic death, Lu Xiang believed without a doubt that it was Lu Mingzhu who deliberately pushed her into the water.
At this time in her previous life, Lu Mingzhu also showed such a concerned look. She personally fed her the prepared medicine and then pretended to accidentally reveal her injured arm.
She asked in confusion: "Why is the third sister injured?"
Lu Mingzhu smiled and said that she bumped into you accidentally, and then her maid Huamei said indignantly: "Miss Four doesn't know that you accidentally fell into the water and the cold air entered your body, and your life is in danger. Our lady is worried. I heard that there is a folk remedy that can cure all diseases by using human flesh as medicine, so I cut my own flesh to make medicine for you."
It’s funny how moved I was at that time.
She is the third legitimate daughter of the Lu family, but because she is younger than Lu Mingzhu, she became the fourth daughter.
Lu Mingzhu became the third daughter of the Lu family, and Liu was promoted to the mistress. Later, most people thought that Lu Mingzhu was the legitimate daughter, and no one cared whether she was a legitimate daughter or a concubine.
Lu Xiang couldn't help but laugh at himself for not seeing through such a lame trick in his previous life but foolishly believing it.
