In the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed. Wan Qiu sat in the courtyard of the Green Caltrop Pavilion, staring blankly at the tender shoots on the tree. These ten over days, she had been recuperating in the Green Caltrop Pavilion, practically living a life cut off from the world.
Isolated from the world? A faint bitter smile appeared on her lips. Actually, he just hadn't thought of how to deal with Miss Chen. His strength was still too weak.
Having lived two lifetimes, she actually felt like she was on the other side of the river.
Perhaps the heavens had pity on her and given her another life, giving her a chance to save Xuan 'er. But what should he do next?
A leaf fell gently on her shoulder, interrupting her thoughts.
"Miss, it's windy. Come into the room. Be careful not to catch a cold!”Zhilan's gentle voice sounded.
"Got it." Wan Qiu responded and walked into the room.
Zhilan looked up at Wanqiu. Her palm-sized face carried a faint sadness. Perhaps it was because she had just recovered from a long illness, but her originally fair skin now seemed even more translucent, but it carried a slight tenacity and determination.
For some reason, ever since Miss woke up from her coma two months ago, it was as if she had become a completely different person…The innocence and naivety of the past seemed to have disappeared overnight, and was replaced by a pensive look from time to time.
Perhaps it was because his body had not fully recovered after the serious illness? Zhilan shook her head self-deprecatingly and lowered her head to continue arranging the fruit plate.
The curtains creaked as Jin Xin entered the room and said softly,""Young Miss, Old Master is here."
Lu Wanqiu also had mixed feelings about this father of hers. Back then, when she was divorced, Mother Zhang begged for help in all sorts of ways. However, he did not care about her biological daughter and refused to stand up for her. In his heart, this daughter was a disgrace to the Lu family and he wished that she would disappear from the world immediately. However, this was not strange. Under Miss Chen's subtle instigation and sowing of discord, she had never been close to her father. There was only estrangement and fear.
Thinking of this, she slowly stood up and said,"Jinxin, get a basin of water. I want to dress up.”
Jin Xin agreed and went out.
Wan Qiu asked Zhi Lan,"Where is Bi Luo?"”
Zhilan said," Yesterday, she packed up the young lady's jewelry and saw that the silver bracelet with double buttons was a little dark. She said that she wanted to wash it and just went out."”
Wan Qiu nodded and said,"Leave this matter to Mother Zhang in the future. Let her stay in the courtyard."”She didn't want Gabriella to do anything, so she had to keep an eye on her.
Zhilan placed the fruit plate on the table beside the book, thinking to herself that Miss really did not like Sister Bi Luo anymore.
The little girl brought in a copper basin. Jinxin tested the water temperature and said,"Miss, the water is here."
Wan Qiu raised her hand to probe the water and said,"Add some more hot water."
Jin Xin was slightly startled. He had just tested the temperature of the water. It wasn't cold, right? Jin Xin took the copper basin and placed it on the carved basin rack. She lifted the kettle and added some hot water.
Wan Qiu tested the temperature again. It was a little hot. Very good. She was the one she wanted. She did not want to experience the cold again.
The warm water brushed past the skin on his face, making his entire body feel relaxed. Wanqiu washed her face and took the handkerchief from Jinxin's hand to wipe the water droplets. When she raised her head again, Wan Qiu's fair face had already revealed a faint blush, and the remaining sickly paleness had disappeared.
Zhilan used a jade comb to comb Wanqiu's hair. Jin Xin looked at Wanqiu in the mirror and smiled,""Young Lady's body is really much better and looks even better than before.”
Wan Qiu pursed her lips into a smile and looked at herself in the mirror. With just a glance, her smile instantly froze. He was still unable to adapt to his eleven-year-old self. Sigh…
Zhilan carefully inserted the silver magpie pearl flower into Wanqiu's hair. After looking at it for a while and straightening it, she was satisfied. Wan Qiu came out with Zhilan and saw her father drinking tea. He paused and walked over.
"Father, your daughter is unfilial. She actually wants you to come and visit her personally.”Wan Qiu smiled and curtsied, paying her respects obediently. Lu Shiyuan looked at his eldest daughter and saw that her eyes were like paint. She still looked like his deceased wife. He suddenly remembered that when she was just born, he had hugged and kissed her. However, after his wife passed away and a new wife came in, this daughter did not like to get close to him. She was usually a little willful and ignorant, so he did not like her much. He even thought that she was not as lively and clever as Ling 'er. Now that he saw Wan Qiu's dignified and calm appearance, he remembered that she was his flesh and blood after all. In addition, she had risked her life to save his eldest son. His heart ached again, so he smiled kindly and said,"You silly girl. I know you want to save Xuan 'er, but you have to take care of your own health. Your illness has worried your family terribly.”Wanqiu smiled even more gently." It was my daughter who was reckless. At that time, I didn't think too much about it. I just wanted to save my brother." "However, she caused a lot of trouble at home. She even invited a doctor and made Father and Mother work hard…" Lu Shiyuan smiled in satisfaction when he heard this."Are you still feeling unwell?" Wan Qiu sniffed and said coquettishly,""Daddy, I'm fine. As long as you're not angry with me." She paused for a moment before tears fell. Lu Shiyuan suddenly felt his heart ache. He coaxed her,"How can I be angry? Don't be so rash in the future. Your brother's life is precious, but if something happens to you, I will also feel sorry for you, understand?”Wan Qiu raised her head and asked nervously,""Then will father still ignore your daughter like before?”Lu Shiyuan was stunned. He had neglected his daughter in the past and always thought that she was spoiled and unreasonable. Now, it seemed that she was just a child who had lost her biological mother. It seemed that he had to care for her more in the future. He could not help but think of his ex-wife's gentle and lovely face. He said more gently," Qiu 'er, you're my good daughter. How can I ignore you?" He comforted Wanqiu for a while before leaving with a thoughtful look.
Looking at his departing back, Wan Qiu's lips curled up…Very soon, she would turn him and Miss Chen into enemies.
