When Tenth Concubine heard this, she still did not dare to get too close. She leaned closer and frowned at her.
Xiao Ling smiled gently and walked toward her. He said clearly,"" I wrote it down myself. Mother taught me this to prevent future troubles. I thought I would never need it again, but I didn't expect-"
She clenched her fingers tightly, and the hairpin pierced her palm. She laughed maniacally. The hairpin shone with a silver light and pierced into her heart!
" Ah!" Tenth Concubine was so shocked that she took a few steps back. She watched as blood gushed out and splattered on Xiao Ling's white dress, but Xiao Ling's laughter grew even more maniacal."Tell him. Let him know what it means to be a woman's most vicious heart. Without me, Xiao Ling, the Han family's reputation will be ruined in less than two years.”
As soon as she finished speaking, her breathing began to wither.
Gradually, there was no more sound. She fell to the ground and blood spread to Tenth Concubine's feet.
Tenth Concubine trembled as she tried to avoid the blood. Her body was still trembling when she left the door. After she rushed out, she raised her voice again,""Second month of the second year, the matriarch of the Han family died!”
"Young lady! Miss, what's wrong with you? Wake up, girl?"
A very warm hand landed on her forehead and used a little strength to gently rub her forehead. An anxious voice sounded vaguely and gradually became clear.
Who was it?
At that moment, a warm stove approached, and the darkness around him gradually dispersed.
"Miss? Are you awake?"
Xiao Ling opened his eyes with difficulty. He could see the furnishings in the room clearly. Under the candlelight, he could see Jinniang's worried face.
Jinniang!
"Why is Young Lady's face so pale? Did you catch a cold today?"
She couldn't come back to her senses, but her forehead was covered in sweat. Her hair stuck to her neck and she felt unusually cold. She shivered for some reason and subconsciously hugged her arm.
"Sister? Sister? What's wrong with you?" A soft voice sounded, carrying the tenderness and worry of a young man.
Xiao Ling's face turned pale instantly.
This was…
She looked up in disbelief and stared deeply at the small figure standing by the bed.
"Sister?"
The soft little person was standing by the bed, looking at her worriedly. His delicate smile carried the innocence of a youth. If he grew up, he would definitely be a beautiful youth.
She hesitantly touched him from behind. Her movements were very light, afraid that if she touched him, only a dream would be left."Xiao Xiao?"
The soft person smiled and held her palm, shaking it gently. Sister, Xiao Xiao is here."
Xiao Ling was dumbfounded. His warmth came through his fingers. He raised his face that resembled hers and smiled obediently at her.
He was not dead yet!
They were all alive and not dead!
She looked around with tears in her eyes. It was such a familiar scene. She could describe it with her eyes closed. She had lived in the boudoir for more than ten years!
A light purple bed, a dark red zither in the distance, a chaise lounge, and her favorite incense.
Everything had happened so abruptly.
Her gaze gradually fell on the bronze mirror not far away. She could vaguely see her own face. It was very young, but there was an unnatural paleness to it. It made her look even more pitiful.
It was her face.
It was as if she was stunned. She kept looking at her own appearance and even reached out to pinch. She used a little more strength and it hurt a little.
All the memories flashed past her mind, but nothing could compare to the fact that she was still alive. Her hand suddenly tightened as she grabbed Xiao Xiao's hand and asked,""Brother, how old are you now?"
She was startled by Xiao Ling, but she still held his hand and whispered,""Sister, Xiao Xiao is already ten years old. Sister, don't complain anymore. Today's matter is Xiao Xiao's fault.”
Xiao Xiao was Yamato's bastard. When Xiao Xiao was ten years old, it was Yamato's tenth year. In other words, when she was thirteen years old, she had returned to fifteen years ago!
Xiao Ling was stunned for a moment. He could not suppress his excitement. He raised his head and laughed out loud. Xiao Xiao was frightened, but she still held onto Xiao Ling's hand and did not let go. Tears fell on the back of Xiao Xiao's hand. It took Xiao Ling a long time to come back to his senses.
At this time, she had not broken off relations with her family, nor had she left the Xiao family for Han Lingxue. Everything had not begun.
Then, there was still a chance.
Xiao Ling wanted to laugh when he thought about all the energy he would have in the future. However, when he tugged at the corners of his lips, tears fell uncontrollably. When they ran down his cheeks, Xiao Xiao, who was beside him, came over to wipe her face.
"Sister, should we call the doctor over?”
Xiao Ling wiped his tears and hugged him tightly. He choked on his sobs."It's okay, there's no need. Sister isn't sad. I'm just happy. Brother, I'm just happy.”
That was great.
Everything had yet to begin, and everyone was still alive.
"Sister?" Xiao Xiao was frightened by Xiao Ling's abnormal behavior, but she remained quiet and looked at her worriedly.
He could feel that Xiao Ling was very happy.
Xiao Ling held his brother tightly in his arms and frowned as he thought of something.
Ten years later.
Xiao Ling passed away in the tenth year of Yamato. On the day she was locked in the woodshed after arguing with her family, Xiao Xiao ran into the kitchen to bring her food. The kitchen caught fire and she was burned to death.
In an instant, all the blood on her face disappeared, and her palms were covered in sweat.
It was not an accident. She knew that it was not an accident.
Therefore, everything had to be done again, it had to be done again!
Xiao Ling tightened his grip on his arm and muttered softly,""Sister is fine, and you will be fine. Don't worry, you will be fine too. Everything has just begun.”
It was winter, and it was still dark outside. It was just that it was unclear whether it was day or night. It was all hazy.
Xiao Xiao had already been sent back by Xiao Ling. After some time, she recalled many things.
She sat on the bed and calmed herself down for a long time before she looked up at the sky outside.
"It's almost dawn, and it's getting late. Pack your things. It's time to pay your respects to mother.”
At this hour, it was indeed time to pay his respects.
Jin Niang instantly panicked,"Miss, your body, why don't you just tell us that you're sick?"
The young lady's temperament was a little violent, but she was unwilling to suffer a loss. Yesterday, after she went out with Fourth Young Lady and Fifth Young Lady, she came back drenched. She was afraid that she would not let it go today.
Moreover, the girl was just a sugar cane, how could she have any good clothes? It was freezing outside. If he went, he might not be able to return for a while.
Xiao Xiao smiled warmly. She only thought, How can I let it go just like that? How could he let it go? He just waved his hand and gestured for them to do it.
Jin Nian went down to pack his things.
Xiao Xiao leaned against the bed and sniffed the fragrance. She only felt warmth.
She had been too muddle-headed in the past. Moreover, what was there to be proud of when she was an unfavored sugar cane girl? Her father only had a slight fondness for her because of her deceased mother. If she continued to be so arrogant, she was afraid that she would be more and more embarrassed.
She could only blame herself for being too insensible.
Just like now, Fourth Young Lady and Fifth Young Lady were usually not close to her, but they did not have any conflicts. This time, they had attacked her because someone had deliberately pointed out that they wanted her to look bad, and they had also succeeded.
After that, because of some deliberate things, she completely broke up with her family. It was only in the past fifteen years that she gradually realized how difficult it was for a woman without a family to climb to such a height. But even if she really climbed up, how could she compare to a legitimate daughter with a family and background?
Therefore, in this life, Han Lingxue and everyone else had to be prepared.
Her fingers clenched her palms tightly before she came back to her senses. She thought, Madam must have planned for a long time for today just to bring her there, right?
As she thought about it, Jin Niang had already returned from the door. She was holding a basin of water and a handkerchief on her arm. She even nimbly brought over a set of smoked clothes.
"Miss, this is the thickest.”Holding the clothes in her hand, Jin Niang's expression was a little ugly.
No matter how cold the weather was, Young Lady rarely went out. As for Madam, it was as if she had done it on purpose. Clearly, everyone had clothes when she made them, but when they were given out, there were no Young Lady's clothes. The other Young Ladies each had two sets, but there were only so few Young Ladies.
"This one is quite good." She took it and smiled.”
Thinking about it, the clothes that Madam had prepared for her were almost done, so why should she care about what she was wearing now?
Jin Niang could only lower her head and help Xiao Xiao clean up, wipe her face, and change her clothes.
"Young Lady, what do you want to comb your hair for? Is it the same as usual?" Jin Niang helped her comb her hair while smiling at her.
A few days ago, in order to make the young lady happy, Jinniang went to learn the most fashionable hairstyle among the young ladies.
Xiao Xiao smiled." I'll just comb my hair like Third Sister often does."”
The way she combed her hair a few days ago made the older and younger sisters in the residence look at her differently. That hairstyle was too flamboyant, and it was not something a sugar cane girl like her could bear.
Jinniang was slightly shocked, but she quickly reacted.
The girl was sensible and knew that she couldn't just be beautiful.
A gust of cold wind blew in from the door. It was Su Yan who rushed in and smiled at Xiao Ling."Miss!"
However, she stood by the fire and waited for herself to warm up before walking over with a cup of hot tea in her hand. She handed it to Xiao Ling."I'm back. Young Master is playing with Young Master Zhang now.”
Xiao Ling took the tea and looked at his reflection in the bronze mirror. He frowned deeply.
This Young Master Zhang seemed to be the Second Miss 'cousin. Speaking of which, he was not that close to her. However, in her memory, he had only been with Xiao Xiao for the past few days.
She only remembered that she had fallen out with Fourth Young Lady and Fifth Young Lady that day. After Xiao Xiao died, she seemed to have lost half her life and only returned after a long time. Then, there were rumors saying that she was tough and was a jinx to her mother and brother. Her father had only liked her a little, but after experiencing this incident, he did not care about her anymore.
