Chapter 4 (1/2)

I want to amaze the world

The next day, Xuan Cao woke up early because she was working for the whole night, when she walked into the room, she was surprised that Yu Ling Long was already sitting in front of the dressing table.

”Miss, why did you woke up so early?” Xuan Cao carried a heavy barrel of water with much effort inside the room, when she looked up she saw an unimaginable scene.

Her slender willow-leaf shaped brows were tightly wrinkled together, her black crystal-transparent eyes were staring tightly onto the mirror, holding a comb that was missing a piece on her hand, cruelly stroking her neat long hair, it was as if she had deep grudges with her hair.

Yu Ling Long was troubled, why did people from ancient ages would want to keep their hair long? How many years would it take to finish combing her hair? She was starting to miss the neat short hair she once had in her past life.

”Miss, let me help you.” Xuan Cao tried to take away the comb as if she was stealing it, worrying that if this goes on, her Miss would likely become bald.

It was too strange, Miss had always cherish her long hair, using much time to carefully comb her hair each and everyday, why would she suddenly be so rude to her hair?

When Yu Ling Long let go of her hand, she felt helpless but also cooperated Xuan Cao, she s.h.i.+fted her attention onto the dressing table in front of her.

In this times, gla.s.s mirrors had not been invented yet, it was lucky enough for them to be able to use a smooth bronze mirror that was able to reflect light, but the mirror in front of them was obviously a defective mirror. The uneven-surfaced mirror could only reflect a blurred silhouette, cracks were starting to appear on the table, when she pulled the drawer, the drawer was also missing the bottom.

Not only the dressing table, looking around, the furniture in the room wasn't less, but they were all dilapidated, the table was missing half of a leg, bricks were piled up to reluctantly support and hold the table in place, a few stools were also shaky and unstable, the holes on the window was obviously filled by Xuan Cao by gluing papers onto it. Not to mention yesterday's bed that could make noises if her breath was slightly larger, it seemed like it was ready to collapse anytime, what's up with all these c.r.a.p!?

Which part of it looked like a big Miss' boudoir, it was simply just a broken warehouse.

Yu Ling Long let of a cold sigh, it was no wonder that she would live in a place like this, General Yu was outside battling in war, everything that happens in Yu Courtyard would be settled by Madam Mu herself with n.o.body to go against it, helplessly entering the courtyard was already despicable enough, not to mention she is also only a illegitimate daughter, of course Madam Mu wouldn't be kind to her. Have you seen anyone loving a daughter born from a mistress?

Even so, Madam Mu's actions was completely unacceptable, wouldn't she feel afraid if rumors started spreading and ruining General Yu's reputation?

But she completed her purpose, the past Yu Ling Long had been tortured until death. Unfortunately for Madam Mu, G.o.d toyed her, swapping the weak-natured Yu Ling Long's soul with a st.u.r.dy-natured soul.

Yu Ling Long smiled slightly, a blurry silhouette appeared on the mirror but her bright smile was still uncoverable.

Isn't all she has to do is start from scratch? She had already died once, she wouldn't possibly fail to overcome even this little problem?

”What's the time now?” Yu Ling Long asked Xuan Cao who was carefully combing her hair.

”It's almost time, you should be hungry by now right Miss?” Xuan Cao asked softly while observing her countenance.

Yu Ling Long was injured yesterday, she couldn't have a good night sleep yesterday too, it should be normal for her to feel hungry by now.

”Do not worry Miss, food will be sent to each room soon, n.o.body is in the kitchen, I shall go and find something for you to eat.” Said Xuan Cao while purposely using a soft tone.

Having stolen much food for days, Xuan Cao was getting more experienced with it, she was very familiar with the best timing to go and steal from the kitchen.

After listening what Xuan Cao said, a trace of cold light flashed in front of Yu Ling Long's eyes.

Must she keep on relying on stolen food in order to live on? Perhaps the past Yu Ling Long wouldn't mind, but now, she absolutely couldn't tolerate living this inferior life.
