Zu Ling 'er expressionlessly looked at the group of people led by the "Green Flower Snake" and slowly faded out of her sight. After hearing Madam You's words, those servant girls seemed to be chased by evil spirits. They followed their master out of Third Miss 'courtyard in panic.
Now that the annoying people had left, they could finally have some peace and quiet. Zu Ling 'er sighed softly. She finally realized how weak her little body was. She just sat there and didn't make any big movements. At this moment, it was as if she had just fought a big battle. She couldn't muster any strength at all.
Lian 'er, who had been kneeling on the ground without Madam You's order, obediently got up from the ground. Ignoring the large bruise on her forehead, she quickly walked to Zu Ling' er's side and gently helped her to lie down. Then, she gently tucked her in.
Zu Ling 'er's gaze lingered on the little girl's forehead for a long time. She told herself that if she wanted to stand in such a big house, she had to force herself to be strong. Only then could she protect herself and the people she cared about from being bullied.
"Does it hurt?" Zu Ling 'er's skinny little hand touched the little girl's forehead like a dragonfly skimming the water, as if she was afraid of hurting her.
Lian 'er's eyes reddened, and she shook her head like a rattle-drum.""Third Miss, Lian 'er doesn't hurt! Nanny went to get the medicine. You must be tired. Take a rest first. I'll call you when the medicine is ready.”
The Third Miss was kind-hearted and treated the servants like her own family. She was never willing to say a harsh word, let alone beat and scold them. To serve such a master, although her days were a little bitter and she had to deal with Third Miss's occasional illness, but compared to those servant girls who were either slapped or pinched until their arms were purple, she felt that she was very happy. If only Third Miss wasn't so cowardly and didn't always be so paranoid, it would be even better.
But today, Third Miss actually talked back to Madam You for her, a little servant! In the past, when she saw Old Master and Madam, she would always cower at the side and did not dare to say a word. Could it be that it was really as the divinator said, and the young lady's soul had returned?
Lian 'er carefully sized up the young miss who was lying quietly on the bed with her eyes closed and thinking about something. She seemed to have noticed the change in Third Miss. Yes! Usually, Miss liked to curl up into a ball when she slept, covering her head and face with the blanket. It seemed like this was the first time in her memory that she was lying flat and steady like today, and her expression was so calm and serene.
Zu Ling 'er naturally noticed the little girl's probing gaze, but she didn't have the strength to pay attention to her. From the looks of it, this little girl, who was not much older than his small body, was still loyal and should be useful after training. Although the nanny had only interacted with her for a moment, he could clearly sense from her concerned gaze that the nanny still sincerely loved this Third Miss. It wasn't too bad. At least the little concubine daughter she was dressed as wasn't too lonely. Zu Ling 'er consoled herself.
The middle-aged man was called Master Gu, and Madam You called the Fake Immortal Miss, who had fainted from fear," Yan 'er ", and also called herself " Ling' er ". Did this mean that the original body of this body was called Gu Ling 'er, and the Eldest Miss was Gu Yan' er? With the Eldest Miss and himself, the Third Miss, there must be a Second Miss. I wonder if this Second Miss is as good as the Eldest Miss? Sigh! I don't want to think about it anymore. I'll cross the bridge when I come to it. I'll take it one step at a time!
Zu Ling 'er-no, she should change her name to Gu Ling' er. As Gu Ling 'er's little head was spinning rapidly, Lian' er's voice sounded softly in the room as if she was afraid of scaring her."Third Miss, Aunt Liu is here to see you.”
Gu Ling 'er opened her eyes, which were extremely large on her small, pointed face, and followed Lian' er's gaze to the door. A slender figure that was pitiable was pacing back and forth outside the door. She hesitated as if she wanted to come in but did not dare to.
As if sensing Gu Ling 'er's gaze, the pair of eyes that seemed to be carved out of the same mold as Gu Ling' er's shrank a little. Her red lips that had lost all color from her bite trembled a little before she stammered,"Third Miss, you're awake? It's good that you're awake, it's good that you're awake! Did the doctor say anything?"
Gu Ling 'er knew who Aunt Liu was the moment she met her eyes. She was the biological mother of this petite body, and an unfavored concubine of Master Gu. He looked indifferently at Aunt Liu, who was standing far away outside the door, as if there was a great flood and beast in the dark room. However, the words she said were not lacking in concern.
Third Miss's temperament was inherited from Aunt Liu. This was something that everyone in the Gu residence knew. Lian 'er was already used to Aunt Liu's timidity. "The doctor said that Third Miss 'body is too weak and needs to rest for a few days."”
Aunt Liu was a typical southern beauty. She was petite, timid, and her delicate body seemed to be unable to withstand the wind and rain. At the slightest movement, she was like a frightened deer, her expression terrified and helpless. Originally, her beauty could win the old master's pity. However, a woman like her who was like a dodder flower felt fresh for a moment, but after a long time, he got tired of her. In addition, the child she gave birth to had Yin-Yang Eyes since she was young. She could see some inexplicable things, causing her to always live in the ridicule and inferiority of others. She could not raise her head.
Aunt Liu loved and feared Gu Ling 'er. No matter what, Ling 'er was born from her womb for ten months. There was blood and kinship there.
However, ever since Ling 'er was still in her infancy, she would always stare at one place and cry. Sometimes, she would even cry until she fainted. She had already noticed that Third Miss was strange. Ling 'er, who had just turned two years old, shrank into her arms and cried out mournfully,"Afraid! I'm scared!" She hugged Third Miss tightly, her entire body trembling, almost unable to speak.
As Ling 'er grew bigger and bigger, her strange behavior became more and more obvious. Aunt Liu retreated. She allowed the four-year-old girl to be left alone in a desolate and remote courtyard. There was only a loyal nanny and a little girl with eight characters serving her. However, she did not dare to ask or care because she had been scared out of her wits in the past four years. She could only secretly send some pitiful jewelry and silver to help Third Miss in material terms. She had already mustered up all her courage to look at Gu Ling 'er from afar.
Avoiding Gu Ling 'er's gaze, Aunt Liu took out a cloth bag from her bosom and beckoned Lian' er to leave. Without any explanation, she stuffed the cloth bag into Lian 'er's arms and said quickly,"" Here's some silver. Buy some tonics for Third Miss to nourish her body…I still have something to do. I'll come back to see Third Miss in two days…" Before she could finish speaking, she fled like flying under Gu Ling 'er's unfamiliar gaze. It was as if he would be possessed by something if he was a step late.
Little cabbages, yellow leaves, poor children, no one dotes on them…Gu Ling 'er silently sang " Little Cabbage " in her heart. She was in a state of sorrow. Even her own aunt avoided her like a viper. How could she live like this!
Little sister, oh little sister, have you been reincarnated, or have you transmigrated like big sister? I hope you can find a good family and treat you like a treasure. Then, I can be at ease.
Ling 'er's eyes dimmed when she thought of her lovely sister who could still comfort her despite the torture of her illness.
Lian 'er carefully noticed the young lady's low mood and quickly comforted her,""Miss, Aunt Liu is still very concerned about you. When she heard that you fainted again, she immediately came to see you. Look, she was afraid that you would be short of silver, so she even gave you five taels of silver!”
She tried her best to sound cheerful, hoping to make the young miss feel better. It had not been easy for the young miss these years. Although her family was a little poor, at least her father doted on her and her mother loved her. Her elder brother, who worked for the eldest young master, often sent her some snacks from his master. But what about Miss? Since she was four years old, she had been alone. If she had not fainted from fear from time to time, no one in the residence would have remembered that there was still a Third Miss, who was afraid and struggling to survive in this forgotten corner!
