The Prime Minister's Residence, Snow Garden.
The sky was already bright, but Snow Garden remained deserted and desolate. It felt as if the place was devoid of any human presence; the courtyard was a mess, looking as if someone had ransacked it and no one had bothered to clean it up.
Qian Youxue climbed over the wall back to her courtyard. Looking at the mess, her mood wasn't much better. Damn this place, she thought, "I don't know how much longer I have to live this miserable life."
Yesterday, the fourth young lady of the Qian family came to cause trouble during the day. Unable to do anything about her, she tore up the entire courtyard in a fit of anger. Since she was going to steal medicine that night, she didn't bother with anything else. She gave her maid Lianxin some medicine and hurriedly went out.
She let out a big yawn. After a whole night of tossing and turning, she was exhausted, but someone had to keep an eye on the courtyard. Who knew what excuse that idiot would use to cause trouble again today? So, she went into the servants' room and woke up the unconscious Lianxin.
“Miss…” Lianxin realized that she had probably overslept. Fortunately, this young lady was kind to her and never scolded or beat her.
"Get up and tidy up the yard. I had a nightmare all night and I'm going to sleep now. Don't bother me unless it's important!" Qian Youxue said, then slowly went back to her room and lay down.
"Yes!" Lianxin was already used to her casual manner, so she got up, tidied herself up, and went out to tidy up the yard.
Qian Youxue yawned again. Although the original owner was the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's mansion, her spiritual root was damaged, making her a notorious good-for-nothing in Xuancheng. Not only that, but because of the red birthmark on her right cheek, she was considered an ugly monster that everyone avoided. Prime Minister Qian Sheng felt that she was a disgrace to the Qian family, and because of this, the original owner's mother was also neglected.
The original owner's mother later gave birth to her younger brother, Qian Bowen. Unfortunately, her joy was short-lived, as Qian Bowen fell seriously ill. He survived, but became a sickly child. His grandmother felt that the Qian family had too much yin energy, so when he was two years old, she sent him away to be raised elsewhere, and he has not been sent back to this day.
The only person in the Qian family who was kind to the original owner was her white-haired grandmother. However, her grandmother was old and couldn't take care of her too thoroughly.
In addition, the concubines and young ladies of the Qian family were no pushovers, and the original owner had suffered quite a bit over the years. As for that mother, after being punished by Qian Sheng for not taking good care of Qian Bowen, she spent most of her time in the Buddhist hall, saying that she wanted to chant scriptures and accumulate merit for Qian Bowen, and even the daily morning greetings to her grandmother were exempted.
It was precisely because of this that Concubine Liu, who married into the Qian family along with the lady, benefited greatly, and now Concubine Liu controls many things in the Qian family.
Aunt Liu gave birth to two daughters. The second daughter, Qian Muxue, was a famous talented woman in Xuancheng and the most beloved daughter of Qian Sheng. The other daughter was the fourth daughter, Qian Yingxue. Qian Yingxue was completely different from Qian Muxue. She did not have the dignified elegance of the second daughter. Instead, she took advantage of Aunt Liu's status and was willful and willful since childhood. Over the years, she had bullied the original owner a lot.
That's not all. The female protagonist's memories before the age of six are all blank, and she was also poisoned. It's a miracle that she survived. What's even stranger is that it seems no one in the Qian family knows about the original owner's poisoning.
Ever since Qian Youxue inherited the original owner's memories, she felt that the Qian family was a terrifying mystery. Unfortunately, although she knew medicine before, she wasn't familiar enough with the medicinal herbs here and didn't dare to act recklessly.
