Seven Unfortunate Lifetimes Chapter 2 (1/2)

Chapter 2

“Miss! My Young Miss!”

The girl’s loud and frightening voice from far away, slowly reached my ears. I saw the sunlight from the gap of my eyelids, yawned and rolled over. I feel that these days are more relaxing than the days when I was a cloud. Every day I regard sunning as my job and sleeping as my purpose. There’s no worries, no stingy Yue Lao, no hards.h.i.+p of saving money to buy a fan, no red dressed young man’s unlucky, vicious face…

Red dressed young man…

I opened my eyes. Just thinking about that person, will get me in a bad mood. I couldn’t sleep anymore.

I sat up and heard the girl’s screaming voice, making my eardrums hurt.

“Young Miss! Don’t move, Cui Bi will save you! No, Cui Bi will call someone to save you!”

Under the tree, my personal maid was looking for a pa.s.serby. I said without care: “I can come down by myself.”

I’m still not used to hearing my childish voice. I rubbed my throat and said in a husky voice: “You, get out of my way. I’m jumping off.”

Cui Bi’s pale face turned green.

“Young Young Young…Miss, don’t don’t don’t scare me! Don’t bully Cui Bi just because I’m timid!”

I ignored her, grabbed a branch and climbed down.

In a blink of eye, I was reincarnated as the now five year old daughter of the prime minister. This five year old is spoiled by everyone, doesn’t need to do the laundry, clean or cook. Even when climbing a tree, there’s a maid under the tree, trying to protect her.

I’m puzzled as to how Li Emperor will arrange his favorite play “the wife chasing the husband”.

Moreover my so called husband is probably still being punished in the Nether World. I secretly laughed in my heart.

Thinking about the day of the reincarnation, remembering Chu Kong’s resentful eyes, my mood instantly soared. Revenge is bliss.

When the ground is near I jumped off and asked Cui Bi, who was full of cold sweat: “What’s the matter?”

It took Cui Bi a while before she’s calm again.

“Xiang Ye (the prime minister) let this servant come search for you. He said to take young miss to the General’s mansion.”

“Oh.”

I gave an answer without much emotion and rubbed my dirty hands on Cui Bi’s skirt. Cui Bi gritted her teeth but didn’t say anything.

“Go tell my father that he can go first. I know the General’s mansion, I can find it myself.”

The emperor, my father and the general were friends since young. Especially the relations.h.i.+p between my father Song Qin Wen and General Lu Lian, is really good.

The two mansions are opposite each other. The two adults will go to court together. After the official duties, they’ll come home together. When the two families have nothing to do, they’ll visit each other. I know the general’s mansion as good as my own home. There’s no need for somebody to bring me there.

After hearing what I said Cui Bi helplessly frowned: “But today Xiang Ye said that I need to go with you…”

Those politically involved old men always have some business.

I pouted, cleaned my hands on Cui Bi’s skirt again and helplessly said:” Alright, alright, I’ll go now.”

I rushed into the living room. My father was sitting on the chair, he took a look at me and sighed helplessly:”I give up, might as well let her be a little wild.”

I tugged at my clothes and didn’t feel that there was something wrong with it. Comparing to my clothes from Yue Lao temple, this clothes have so many rules. What isn’t he happy about?

While walking to the General’s mansion he talked about the past. While I was in my mother’s belly, the General’s wife was also pregnant. The two families agreed that if we’re the same s.e.x, we’ll become sisters. If we’re the opposite s.e.x, we’ll be husband and wife. But no one ever thought that the General’s wife will fall and have a miscarriage. She hasn’t been pregnant since then.

I interrupted my father’s affectionately story telling.

“This isn’t right. A few days ago I saw the General’s wife. Her belly was really big.”

After saying those words, I got an auspicious feeling.

Father Song looked at me affectionately and nodded: “Yes, it’s today. The General’s wife gave birth to a son. Yun Xiang, now you can see what your future husband will look like.”

I looked up and saw the smiling face of my father, my tears nearly fell out. I asked him:” Have you ever seen a mud horse?”

Song father was stunned.

I lowered my head, cupped my heart and whispered:”Do you know the emotion when ten thousand of mud horse pa.s.sed by? No … you don’t understand.”

I wiped my tears and looked defeated at my father: “Let’s go take a look.”

When we walked into the General’s mansion every servant bowed and greeted us. Their happy voice overshadowed my gloomy words:”The b.a.s.t.a.r.d who came late.”
