C2 (2/2)

For some reason, looking at his sister's expression, Chu Xuanhua felt more at ease. He nodded and went back to his room.

Chu Yuehua wasn't asleep at all. She closed her eyes and felt Du Ruo watching over her. When she discovered that her breathing had become steady, she put out the light and opened her eyes.

For the past month, besides the old lady who came to visit often, she hadn't seen anyone else lying in bed. Plus, she had a weak personality, so no one was suspicious anymore.

However, in her mind, she thought of many things from her previous life.

Initially, she couldn't believe it. She had really been reborn, but her face, her sister's face, and the old lady's face were all real. She had no choice but to believe it later on.

Today, she began to feel that the heavens had given her a chance to start anew.

The dream was still warm in his mind. He could still feel the stench of blood in his throat and the pain from his body.

However, she didn't seem to be afraid anymore. From today on, she was going to be a completely different Chu Yuehua. She wouldn't go through the things from her previous life again.

When the sky brightened, she got up. When Du Ruoruo heard the sound, she hurriedly walked over. ”Why don't you sleep for a while more, Second Miss?”

”No, madame, they've come early. It's better not to be too late.”

”Are you still tired?” Chu Xuhua's voice came from the other side.

The maid Shi Lan followed behind with a comb in her hand, her hair still uncombed.

”I'll comb my hair with Second Miss.”

These words were said to Shi Lan.

The two sisters lived in the same room, with the door facing the door. However, Chu Xuanhua had given Xiang Yang's room to his sister, while he himself lived in a shady room.

The way she spoke clearly showed that she was very happy after hearing Chu Yuehua's words.

When he thought about it, he really didn't seem to notice this in his previous life. It was about time he got out of bed. By then, everyone in the old lady's room had already arrived.

As soon as the two sisters walked under the eaves, Lady Deng brought Zhou Ruxin over.

”Second wife.” The two sisters hurriedly bowed.

Madam Deng looked at them with a smile. ”You sisters have woken up early today. Is little Yue well?”

”Thank you for your trouble. It's been a long time since I've paid my respects. How have you been?”

”It's been a month since we've seen each other. Sister Yue Er's mouth is a lot sweeter now.”

Saying that, Mother Song came out. ”The old lady is letting the ladies in!”

The old lady had already finished dressing herself, and when she saw the Chu and Xu Hua sisters, she immediately broke into a smile, ”Yo!” Why are you up so early? ”Little Yue girl, let me take a look. I haven't been out for a month, are you alright?”

Chu Yuehua smiled shyly, ”The old lady only knows how to tease me! I don't dare to be lazy anymore! ”

The old lady was stunned for a moment and then burst into laughter. ”Seems like you're done for. You even know how to joke around.”

A trace of surprise flashed through Chu Yuehua's eyes. She did not ignore that gaze, but chose to pretend not to see it.

Second Cousin's wife, Lady Yang, and Third Cousin's wife, Lady Yao, came together. After they greeted each other, they went down to help the mother and maidservants in the old lady's room to prepare breakfast.

”Did the old woman take a good look at the birthday present that the empress had bestowed upon us yesterday?”

The Deng family's daughter, Zhou Ruyi, was currently the palace's concubine, Zhou Yu's concubine. These past two years, she could be considered to have been favoured, and it was precisely because of this that the Deng family stood the straightest between the third sister-in-law and sister-in-law.

”The things inside the palace are naturally good,” the old lady nodded. ”It's hard for the Empress to remember and know my preferences.”

”What are you talking about, old lady? You are the Empress's grandmother, how can you not remember?”

”Old lady!” A girl's crisp voice sounded and everyone's gaze simultaneously swept over Chu Yuehua.

There was no need to think about this voice. It naturally belonged to Zhou Ruyun, the person that was doted on the most in the long room. She was the only one with a voice that came in first before she even entered the door.

After a while, a pink figure entered.

When she had met her elders and walked over to the two sisters' side, Chu Xuohua was prepared to remind his sister, but Chu Yuehua already took a step forward.

”Long time no see, Sister Yun!”

When Zhou Ruyun saw Chu Yuehua, her face immediately became very long, and she coldly snorted.

”Sister Yun, are you still angry at me? If that's the case, then your little sister will apologize to your big sister! Big sister has a lot, so forgive me. ”
