It was a vast expanse of whiteness outside. It had snowed for several days in a row. The houses, treetops, and the ground were all covered in a layer of frost. Light shone through the windows that were covered with gauze paper. The house seemed much brighter than usual, as if there was a crystal clear glow.
Wan Qiu quietly walked behind the desk and took out a piece of white paper from the purple-red mahogany bookshelf. She slowly spread it on the table and began to grind ink. "Miss, it has been snowing for a few days. Today, it has finally cleared up. Do you want to go out for a walk?”Zhilan asked Wan Qiu in a crisp voice as she started the fire in the three-legged furnace.
Wanqiu glanced at her and a faint smile appeared on her lips." No, I want to paint today. It's cold outside. Be careful, Mother Zhang is going to nag again."”" Miss has really become much gentler." Zhilan smiled. She placed the kettle in the three-legged stove and walked over to grind ink for Qi Guan. Layers of steam came out of the kettle, and the room instantly became much warmer.
"Zhilan, is there anyone else in your family?”Wanqiu lowered her head to tidy up her brush and asked casually. "Young miss has forgotten that this servant is a child born in the family. There is also an elder brother and younger sister at home who have been serving in the main family since young.”Zhilan said with a smile as she skillfully ground the ink. Wan Qiu's thoughts were in a daze. She then remembered that Zhilan was indeed a child born in the family. Her father and mother were both gatekeepers. One guarded the main gate of the backyard, and the other guarded the inner courtyard's flower gate. Her elder brother was called Zhu Zi, and he was a servant in front of her father. Her younger sister seemed to be working in the sewing room. Later, Zhilan and Bi Luo followed her dowry and married into Lin Manor…”Wan Qiu picked up the brush and dipped it in the ink. Zhilan looked at Wanqiu with a puzzled expression. She thought that Miss had been acting strange these days. Previously, she thought that she had become much quieter because she fell into the water and fell sick. But today, she was so concerned about her family." This servant's elder brother is already engaged. It's Sister Ke 'er in front of Madam's room."”As expected! It was exactly the same as her previous life. Wan Qiu sighed lightly in her heart. Zhilan was a loyal and good girl. In her previous life, she wanted to give her face when she was pregnant and serve Lin Yulou. She refused no matter what. In the end, she was divorced and humiliated by other concubines. She felt unfair for herself and was sent to be sold by her concubines.
Gabriella was safe and sound.
He didn't continue asking questions and only focused on drawing on the paper. Zhilan saw that Qi Guan was no longer speaking and did not dare to disturb her. She just stood quietly at the side and waited. The water in the three-legged stove began to boil, and hot smoke rose. Zhilan hurriedly walked over and brewed a pot of Biluochun for Wanqiu, placing it on the side of the desk. Wanqiu would occasionally stop to take a sip of hot tea when she was tired, but her eyes never left the painting. Zhilan found it even stranger. Miss usually couldn't even sit still for half an incense stick to burn, but she was so good-natured today. She took the opportunity to take a look at the painting while serving tea. It was red all over, and she couldn't tell what it was. There was a piece in the middle that wasn't painted red, like a white lotus…After about two hours, Wanqiu put down her brush and lowered her eyes to look at the only red picture. "Miss, what is this?" Zhilan asked curiously. "Snow Scenery." Wan Qiu said softly," Keep it if it's dry. Don't put it in the cabinet. Just hang it in front of the desk."”Without another glance, he slowly walked out of the study. The fire before her death in her previous life was clearly imprinted in her mind. No matter what, she couldn't get rid of it. Wanqiu quickly walked out of the study and stood in the courtyard. She looked up at the blue sky that had been washed away by the heavy snow. Her eyes and neck were sore.
He stood there for a long time without moving.
" Miss, it's cold outside. Come in and rest," Zhilan called out softly from behind.
"Zhilan, where's Bi Luo?" Wan Qiu asked Zhilan as she walked into the inner room. If everything were to start all over again, that girl would be twelve years old this year.
" Big Sister Bi Luo is boiling medicine for Miss. She said that she doesn't feel at ease with others boiling it," Zhilan answered softly as if she felt Wan Qiu's tiredness. It was because of this loyalty that he liked her so much. That was why she was so disappointed and confused when she betrayed him. Wanqiu didn't believe that she was really doing this for her family…Perhaps this mystery would be solved after she was reborn. However, she would never get close to Gabriella again.
Her current body was eleven years old. She was still young and couldn't see anything. When she slowly grew older and was thirteen or fourteen years old, the Lu family would be famous for being talented. One of them was her biological younger sister, Second Miss Lu Wanling, and the other was her third sister, Lu Wanjing. However, the eldest daughter of the Lu family was not proficient in any of the four arts, and she was even less proficient in embroidery. She became a laughing stock in Jingdou.
In her previous life, she had married into the Lin Manor. She did not want to be laughed at by her sister-in-law and mother-in-law, so she had fiercely practiced embroidery for a period of time. She had some small achievements in Guang embroidery and Su embroidery. In this life, she had to properly learn everything she needed to learn. Wan Qiu secretly made up her mind. Gradually, sleepiness came over her. She put down the curtains and lit incense. Wan Qiu fell asleep.
"Young miss, take your medicine." "Big sister Bi Luo, the young miss is asleep, don't disturb her.”"Wretched girl, how can you say that? When did I dare to disturb the young miss? Don't think that Miss has spoiled you more and more in the past two days. I'm wholeheartedly doing this for Miss's good. If I don't take the medicine in time, Miss's condition will worsen. Can you bear this responsibility? You don't know your limits!"
" Sister Bi Luo…You…" Bi Luo was lively and was valued by the Eldest Miss. Zhilan did not dare to say anything. It was Gabriella's voice. Wanqiu woke up and immediately opened her eyes. She sat up and saw the angry Gabriella and the aggrieved Zhilan standing in front of her. "Bi Luo, what's with the noise?”Mother Zhang reprimanded softly. She was even more unhappy when she saw that Wanqiu had been woken up. "Mom, that's not right. I'm doing this for Miss's own good.”Bi Luo smiled and ignored Mrs. Zhang's reminder. Bi Luo was a servant girl sent by her stepmother. She was very beautiful. She was eloquent at a young age and liked Wan Qiu. She had been with Wan Qiu since she was seven years old. In less than half a year, she had been promoted from a second-class servant girl to a big servant girl. Compared to the gentle, silent, and honest Zhilan, Wanqiu liked this girl more back then. Not only did she marry her, but she also trusted her in every way.
That humiliating night…she was the girl on night duty…only she could get close to the man's underwear and put it beside her pillow. Seeing that the Miss was silent, Bi Luo did not blame herself at all. As usual, she smiled brightly and looked at Zhilan and Mother Zhang proudly. She held a bowl of steaming medicine in her hand."Miss, drink your medicine!" Looking at the bowl of thick medicine, Wan Qiu's eyes turned cold."Kneel down!" " Miss, what's wrong with you..." In the past few years, she had been very popular with Wan Qiu. She had never been reprimanded for contradicting Mother Zhang in front of her or bullying the servant girl behind her back. Miss had been getting colder and colder to her these days. She thought that it was because she was sick. As long as she stayed with Miss for a few more days, she would be as spoiled as before. Bi Luo could not recover for a moment. Wan Qiu sneered, took the bowl of medicine and threw it at Bi Luo. Gabriella was startled and subconsciously tilted her head. Although she didn't hit Gabriella, she flew toward a tea table and hit an antique vase on it. The vase shook a few times and fell off the tea table, shattering into pieces. There was a loud crash, and everyone was stunned.
