She was given a second chance at life. She was determined to please Lu Yanqing, so that when he ascended the throne, she too could rise from humble beginnings to become a phoenix, her status beyond measure!
The village chief stroked his beard and directed the men from the village to use bamboo poles to pull the body from the middle of the lake to the shore.
"This Lady Wen is no good person to begin with, yet she thinks she's some kind of young lady. But once she comes to Lotus Village, she's destined to be poor, going out drinking every day... tsk tsk tsk."
"Unfaithful to women."
"I heard that she and Scholar Lu quarrel every day and their marriage is not harmonious."
The surrounding voices of contempt were incessant. The original owner of this body, who considered herself of noble status, always acted arrogantly and domineeringly in Lotus Village. She thought that the villagers of Lotus Village were all inferior people.
Now that the person is gone, not a single person around shows any sympathy.
"Look, Scholar Lu is here." A voice rang out, and everyone's eyes fell on Lu Yanqing, who was not far away.
Lu Yanqing was wearing a blue robe, which was very clean and even slightly white from long-term washing. Lu Yanqing's black hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin on the top of his head.
His skin was fair, like the finest translucent mutton fat jade, and his phoenix eyes were slightly upturned, as if they could captivate the soul.
Lu Yanqing's phoenix eyes and the beauty mark at the corner of his eye made him even more handsome, exuding an air of pride.
A humble scholar, a gentleman as elegant as jade.
Those around him were stunned. To be honest, they had never seen such a handsome man in their lives.
It's a pity that Lu Yanqing was holding a cane. At first glance, he seemed no different from an ordinary person, but upon closer inspection, one could see that his footprints in the snow were uneven, some light and some dark.
He was lame. Everyone sighed and looked away.
The woman in the lake had been pulled out and placed on the snow. She was covered in water, her hair was disheveled and covered her face, and her thin clothes clung tightly to her body.
"Scholar Lu, you've come at the right time. Your wife is gone..."
At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Wen Nan, but the embroiderer's eyes were fixed on Lu Yanqing.
Since she knows what happened in her previous life, she must live a life of wealth and luxury in this life.
"Ahhh!"
"ah!"
Amidst the screams around her, something suddenly grabbed the embroiderer's ankle, instantly soaking her trouser leg with cold!
"It's come back to life!"
"Lady Wen has risen from the dead!"
The timid villagers around them took several steps back, each one trembling with fear.
Some of the more timid ones had already sat down on the snow, trembling violently.
The embroiderer froze. Her gaze shifted downwards, and sure enough, she saw a pale hand gripping her ankle tightly.
The owner of that hand was none other than Wen Nan, who had just been pulled from the lake!
Wen Nan brushed aside the strands of hair on her forehead with her other hand, revealing a pale face. Her complexion was exceptionally pale, but her eyes were very bright and clear.
"I'm not dead yet." Wen Nan's clothes were soaked and water was still dripping onto the ground. His breath warmed as he spoke.
The embroiderer was already pale. She looked at Wen Nan in disbelief, her eyes filled with terror and fear that she could not hide.
The people from Wennan have already floated to the surface, how could they still be alive?
She clearly pushed the person into the water, watched until the person was completely dead and floated to the surface, before she called for help.
How could he not be dead!
As soon as the people around saw the hot breath Wen Nan exhaled while speaking, someone spoke up.
"She's still alive. She can even breathe warm air. She's not a zombie." The words fell on the crowd, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
