Chapter 1
The pliable white silk strangled deep into her neck!
The blood in her entire body rushed to her head, and the pain of suffocation came in a mountain of pain
Breathing became thinner and thinner, and the pain between her neck became more and more intense
No!
She didn’t want to die!
She hadn’t been able to watch her son grow into a man with her own eyes, she hadn’t been able to avenge her humiliated self, she hadn’t been able to wait for her husband’s return to ask him in person why he had failed her!
She was not willing!
She didn’t want to die!
The pain accumulated to its peak, and before falling into complete darkness, Ling Jingshu used the last of her strength to open her eyes, embedding a hideous and ghastly face in front of her deeply into her mindAh Shu!
What’s wrong with you, hurry up and wake up”
A distant yet familiar voice kept echoing in her ears, a hand clutched her arm tightly and kept shaking it
It was as if doing so would make her wake up from her lengthy nightmareShu!”
After repeating it for a long time, the voice finally choked
Slightly cold tears slipped from the corners of her eyes and dripped onto her hands
Her fingers moved and her eyelashes fluttered slightlyYoung Master, Miss’s hand moved and her eyes moved”
Another long-lost familiar voice rang in her ears
It was really noisy!
How could it not be cleared when one reaches the Yellow Springs
She frowned and slowly opened her eyes
A teenager’s face came into view
The teenager was about thirteen or fourteen years old, with skin as white as jade, red lips and white teeth, and eyebrows that were exquisitely beautiful and unbelievable
It was only a pity that a pair of eyes seemed to be shrouded in mist, obscure and unknownAh Xiao,” Ling Jingshu shouted out this long-lost name, her voice trembling slightly, the corners of her eyes moist: “Is it really you?”
This was her twin brother, Ling Xiao, who was born half an hour later than her
At the age of eight, Ling Xiao fell heavily, and after waking up, his eyes were accidentally blinded
Please a lot of famous doctors to diagnose and treat also not good, originally gifted and intelligent known as a child prodigy Ling Xiao, by this accident ruined everything
Can no longer read and practice calligraphy and painting, can only stay in the Ling House, just like a bird raised in a cage
Not only Ling Xiao, she is also just another bird in a cage that has been carefully nurtured
After she got married, the Ling family quickly arranged a marriage for Ling Xiao
A few days before the wedding, Ling Xiao died of an acute illness
She was too naive back then and only thought that Ling Xiao had died of an illness
It was not until much later that she realized that Ling Xiao’s death was not an accident at all, but was poisoned and framed
But this all know too late, at that time she mud feet deep in their own difficult to protect, let alone for the ah xiao revenge
Ling Jingshu, who was overly excited, did not notice that her voice was much more tenderAh Shu,” Ling Xiao was pleasantly surprised and reached out to touch Ling Jingshu’s hand, “Great!
You’ve finally woken up
For the past two days you’ve been suffering from a high fever and talking nonsense out of your mouth, scaring me”Yes, miss, you’ve finally woken up”
A maid in a green colored dress with a double maiden bun was filled with excitement and joy
This maid was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a goose egg face, a pair of large and bright eyes, a straight nose, and diamond shaped red lips, her appearance was beautiful and attractiveBai Yu,” Ling Jingshu’s eyes flashed with watery light, her voice choked, “So you’ve also come ” Bai Yu was four years older than her, and since she was six years old, Bai Yu had come to serve her
The master and servant had been together for many years, and their feelings were deep
Bai Yu had a calm temperament and was born with a beautiful face, and was the most outstanding among the maids in the Ling residence
Li Erlang, the nephew of her stepmother Li, fell in love with Bai Yu, and shamelessly wanted to take Bai Yu as a concubine
Li’s soft words and good words a basket, grinding her nod
Her momentary softness caused Bai Yu’s suffering
Bai Yu married into the Li family as a concubine in less than three years, was the main room tortured to death
The master and servant were separated forever!
Over the years, she was betrayed by the people around her one by one, when she was filled with bitterness, she often thought of the loyal Bai Yu, and her heart was almost filled with remorse and self-blame
Twenty-four years of life, the heavens treated her unfairly
After her death, the heavens had opened their eyes, allowing her to be reunited with Ling Xiao Bai Yu
Unconsciously, Ling Jingshu was already in tears
She pulled Ling Xiao with one hand and fumbled with her other hand to hold Bai Yu’s hand: ”Ah Xiao, Bai Yu, after so many years of separation, I’ve been holding you all in my heart
Now that I’m dead too, the three of us are reunited underground and we won’t be alone in the future”
Ling Xiao was stunned to hear this and didn’t react for a moment
Bai Yu smiles helplessly and compassionately, “Miss has been suffering from a high fever for the past two days, probably burnt out, talking nonsense
What’s life and death, it’s not auspicious to talk about that”
The voice is as soft and pleasant as in memory
Ling Xiao also came back to his senses and painfully held Ling Jingshu’s hand tightly, “Ah Shu, you must be having a nightmare!
Don’t be afraid, Bai Yu and I are fine, you will definitely be fine too”
Ling Jingshu finally noticed that something was wrong
Ling Xiao’s hands were warm and Bai Yu’s hands were soft
The aching concern that flowed from both of their faces was so clear
Also, she was sitting on an exquisite carved wooden bed, and through the pink light-colored tent, she could see the smooth dressing bronze mirror, the delicate vase, and the screen embroidered with peonies
This was not the Yellow Springs Hell, it was clearly her boudoir when she was a young girl!
Ling Jingshu’s mind was in turmoil as she subconsciously retracted her hand and touched her neck
She refused to kill herself, and was strangled alive by three feet of white silk
But now, there is no deep bone bruise on her neck, but it is warm and smooth
What the hell is going on here?
Ling Jingshu’s heart steeply sprang up with a shocking conjectureBai Yu, go get a mirror”
Ling Jingshu’s breathing was unsteady, her voice rushed, and her cheeks flew up in a strange blush
Bai Yu answered and busily went and brought over the bronze mirror, holding it in front of her chest
The smooth bronze mirror reflected a young girl’s face that was still a bit green
Eyebrows like far away mountains, not painted and diaphanous
Lips like Dan Zhu, not point and red
Skin delicate and smooth as jade
The most beautiful, is that pair of clear like water eyes
Slightly smile, like a spring breeze across the lake, rippling up the moving girl style
Fourteen-year-old girl, like the Ling family peony garden in the most expensive pot of Luoyang brocade, beautiful and moving, beautiful and incomparable
The beauty is clean and pure, the beauty is breath-taking
Returning from the dead, this kind of fact is shocking
However, this kind of absurd and unbelievable thing happened on the contrary!
Ling Jingshu looked at her familiar and unfamiliar self, but what flashed through her mind was the pale, thin and emaciated face from ten years later
Her eyes were blank and stagnant, and her heart was cold and numb
Muddled life is worse than death
Thinking about the past, Ling Jingshu’s heart seemed to be poked by a fine needle, and that bit of sharp pain spread rapidly
The stunning beauty of the city had brought her unbearable humiliation
She would have preferred to be born in an ordinary people’s family, with mediocre looks, and live her life in an ordinary manner
Ling Jingshu stared at the bronze mirror and did not speak for a long time
Bai Yu thought that Ling Jingshu was disliking her haggard appearance, and smiled and said: “Miss has been lying on the bed for two days, so she can’t help but look a bit haggard
When she gets well and changes into brighter clothes, she will definitely be more beautiful than before”
The Ling family has good feng shui and specializes in beauties
From the eldest house to the fifth house, there were eleven girls in this generation
A few died young, and only six grew up safely
Ling Jingshu was the ninth in line, and the one with the most outstanding looks and talents among her cousins
She had been famous in Dingzhou since she was ten years old, and had loved her looks since
Ling Jingshu closed her eyes and took a deep breath
Reopening her eyes, her eyes regained their clarity and calmness: ”Bai Yu, I’m hungry
I want to eat the chicken noodle soup you made with your own hands”
Bai Yu was very jubilant and immediately smiled, “Good, the slave girl will cook and make noodles”
Bai Yu’s cooking skills were excellent, her movements were sharp, and in less than an incense stick of time, she came with a bowl of steaming chicken noodle soup
The noodles were strong, the chicken soup was fragrant, and the turquoise leaves were dotted amongst them, making one’s fingers tingle
Smelling the familiar aroma, Ling Jingshu’s nose was slightly sore as she picked up her chopsticks, gently picking some up and sending it into her mouth, slowly eating it
The Ling family was very careful with their daughter’s upbringing, not only did they hire a female teacher to teach her qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, but they also invited Sister Liu, who had retired from the palace, to come into the house to teach them the rules
Sister Liu has a strict nature, sitting, lying, walking and standing, a word and a smile, all have rules
The young ladies of the Ling family suffered a lot
Ling Jingshu was no exception
However, a few years of teaching was quite effective
Even though she was starving, Ling Jingshu was still not too slow and ate beautifully
Ling Xiao’s eyes were blind, but her ears were exceptionally sensitive, listening to the subtle movements, she couldn’t help but say: ”Ah Shu, you haven’t eaten for two days, your stomach must be very hungry
Don’t mind those rules, just let go and eat”
Bai Yu also chimed in, “Young master is right
There’s no one else here, so Miss doesn’t need to have any worries”
Ling Jingshu’s heart warmed and the corners of her lips lifted slightly, “Okay, I’ll listen to you guys”
After a bowl of steaming hot chicken noodle soup went down, her cold hands and feet warmed up and her whole body gained strengthThe old lady also sent someone to ask how the young lady’s body is in the morning, since the young lady has woken up, she should also go to the old lady to ask for peace”
Bai Yu smiled and said, “The slave girl will wait for miss to change her clothes and freshen up”
Ling Jingshu gave a hmmm and lowered her eyelids, hiding the coldness in her eyes
There is a difference between men and women, and although Ling Xiao is a sibling brother whose eyes are blind, he also has to avoid suspicion
Taking the initiative, he got up and said, “Ah Shu, I’ll go out and wait for you”
Bai Yu brought a bunch of brand new dresses
Pink, goose yellow, light purple and light green, all bright colors suitable for young girls to wear: “These are the new clothes that were just made a few days ago, which one does Miss want to wear?”
Ling Jingshu said lightly, “No need to wear new clothes, bring that lake blue colored dress”
The young lady was the most beautiful in appearance and had a supple and agreeable nature, and was usually the most pleasing to Old Madame Ling
Old Mrs Ling liked her granddaughters to dress brightly and beautifully
The young lady had taken her liking, and had been extra attentive in her dress
But now, the young lady is wearing old clothes to see Ling old lady
The usual behavior is very different, puzzling
The half-new lake blue dress was slightly plainer, however, it still looked great on Ling Jingshu’s body
Bai Yu also combed a double flat bun for Ling Jingshu, with a beaded flower pinned on each side of the bun
Ling Jingshu stopped Bai Yu from choosing a bracelet collar, “No, this will do”
Bai Yu was stunned, and although she was surprised, she did not ask more questions
Ling Jingshu gazed at Bai Yu and suddenly said, “Bai Yu, I will never let anyone bully you in the future”
Bai Yu’s heart warmed up and her eyes were teary with stupidity
How lucky she was to have met a young lady with a generous and gentle nature
Ling Jingshu looked at the touched face in front of her, but what she thought of was Bai Yu, who had been abused and died tragically in her previous life, and her heart was sore
Spinning around, she shot to her feet, “Bai Yu, follow me out”
Ling Xiao obediently stands outside the door and waits, Ling Jingshu goes forward and pulls up Ling Xiao’s hand, softly saying, “Ah Xiao, let’s go together to greet grandmother”
Ling Xiao nodded, his smile pure and innocent
Ling Jingshu pursed her lips and straightened her back, pulling Ling Xiao towards Yonghe Hall
It was like running to the battlefield, fearlessly facing the upcoming storm
Bai Yu accompanies her silently and faithfully
Having experienced death, she knows more about the preciousness of life and cherishes the people around her more
The people who had failed her, the humiliation she had suffered, she had to seek justice one by one
Even if the other party’s status is honored and unattainable, even if she has to pay everything for revenge, she will not hesitate to do so
