Chapter 205 The Heroine Whose Luck Was Taken Away
"From now on, our family will live together, just like before."
She just found it a little funny. Her father had just said that her personality had not changed, so how come it seemed better now?
Just like before.
Her past life had appeared in her dreams thousands of times. In her dreams, she was still the little girl who was loved by her family.
But such a dream would be broken by the cold Zhuangzi after waking up, and she no longer had the energy to continue fantasizing.
Later on, she even felt that it was nice to stay on the farm for the rest of her life. Although she had to do a lot of dirty and tiring work, Aunt Cui would scold her but rarely beat her.
In a sense, she lived a much better life at Zhuangzi than at the Ye Mansion.
She sighed inwardly, but still did not stand up, keeping her head down. "I dare not. If the master and the mistress are willing to show mercy and reward me with a bowl of cold rice to keep me alive, I will be very grateful."
Her tone was calm, without any falsehood at all, but this tone made the Ye family members start to panic.
Finally, it was Ye Furong who spoke. She smiled and said, "Father, Mother, Brother... maybe sister is still angry."
As she spoke, she feigned pity as she looked at Ye Ruoxing. "Sister, this is all my fault. Don't be angry with Mom and Dad. They've missed you so much these past few years. They'll be very sad if you act like this. Besides, I know you've always been very particular about your figure, but I also want to advise you that it's better for women to have some flesh on their bodies. A good balance of thick and thin. It's not right for you to lose weight so much like this."
She was actually a little angry in her heart. She had finally taken away the heroine's luck, but an imperial decree came down, requiring the heroine to enter the palace for selection.
However, she was given to the emperor's uncle as a concubine. It was said that the uncle was not only older, but also a Buddhist. He was devoted to Buddhism and had no worldly desires at all.
If she really married him, all the hard work over the years would be in vain, so she proposed to bring the heroine back. She wanted to bring back the heroine's luck.
Hearing Ye Furong's words, Ye Ruoxing just found it funny.
Over the years, she has lived a life worse than pigs and dogs. Before, when she was in the mansion, the servants flattered the powerful and bullied the weak. In her last days, she lived a life worse than a dog.
Ye Furong saw all of this, yet she could still say such words.
Therefore, she no longer cared about her parents' love.
After hearing what Ye Furong said, Master Ye became even angrier. He had originally felt a little guilty looking at the skinny Ye Ruoxing, but now he simply picked up the tea beside him and threw it at Ye Ruoxing.
"You bastard, are you trying to rebel? Why did I give birth to such a rebellious girl like you? Take off your veil for me. I want to see what kind of a mess you have become."
As he spoke, he watched as the scalding tea splashed all over her.
Her clothes were thin and the scalding tea soaked almost all of them. She subconsciously hugged herself, trying to relieve the burns from the tea.
Seeing her like this, Mr. Ye was stunned and his anger subsided a lot. He didn't understand why she didn't avoid him.
Ye Ruoxing has developed a habit over the years that he will not resist no matter what kind of punishment he receives, otherwise he will be punished even more severely.
She's used to being bullied.
The old nanny who had been taking care of her in the mansion saw this scene at the door and could no longer hold back. She rushed in, knelt down and kowtowed as a greeting, then quickly took off her coat and covered her with it.
"Master, Madam, even if the young lady did something wrong, please forgive her because she just came back."
Mrs. Ye looked at this scene and felt inexplicably uncomfortable. From this perspective, it seemed that the old nanny was Ye Ruoxing's mother.
With a cold face, she ordered the old nanny, "You should leave first. You cannot come in unless the master invites you. Have you forgotten this rule?"
Ye Ruoxing was holding back tears. She pushed the old nanny and tried to force a smile. "Nanny, you can go back first. I'm fine."
Just as she finished speaking, a second teacup was thrown at her. In a panic, the old nanny stretched out her hand to block it for her, "Please have mercy, Master. The young lady is weak and cannot withstand such a beating."
Scalding hot water splashed on the back of Ye Ruoxing's hand. The area where she had frostbite was suddenly splashed with scalding water, and her whole body began to tremble.
Seeing her like this, the old nanny hugged her tightly in her arms with heartache, and kept comforting her, "It's okay, it's okay, miss, it's okay." Just like when she coaxed her to sleep when she was a child.
Seeing this, Madam Ye was also unhappy. She sneered and said, "You are indeed a cheapskate. You leave your parents to please a servant. Since you like servants so much, it's just right. You call Mammy your mother and get out of here and become a servant."
A draft blew through the hallway, and Ye Ruoxing shivered all over. She now felt that all the frostbitten parts of her body were extremely itchy.
This twist of her body really annoyed Ye Yichen. He frowned and scolded: "You are a lady from a wealthy family, and you are acting so coquettishly. How can you be so disrespectful!"
"If you continue to be like this, you might as well go back to the manor. I think that place is perfect for you. Why are you putting on airs in front of the whole family? Even when Furong tried to dissuade you, you still insisted on having your own way. You caused Furong to lie on the bed for a whole year, and she couldn't leave the house for three years. Why can't you go to the manor and suffer to atone for these sins?"
After Ye Yichen finished speaking, he looked at his parents sitting in the hall and said, "Father, Mother, Furong, let's keep her here and let her think about her mistakes."
Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye looked at each other, and then stood up and left. Ye Yichen also took Ye Furong away. Before leaving, they also asked someone to take the nanny away.
Soon, Ye Ruoxing was the only one left in the room. As it grew darker, her wet clothes stuck tightly to her clothes. She was shivering from the cold and curled up in a corner.
……
In a daze, she heard Ye Furong's voice, "Ye Ruoxing, why do you think you can return to the Ye family? The Ye family just wants to use a trick to replace the prince with a cat, giving me the opportunity to enter the palace. And you will be married to that perverted uncle. Do you know? You come back because of my gentle words."
She had thought her heart had become numb, but it ached again and again. It turned out to be just like what she had guessed. It was just that she had not guessed what her own value was.
She didn't know how long she sat in that corner. Despair flashed in her eyes. She reached out and pulled out the hairpin, then stabbed it directly into her neck.
……
Fox was deeply moved by this memory. She asked the system, "So, after I took over the original owner's identity, are there any taboos?"
The system was a little panicked. It knew that the fox must be trying to do something by asking this question.
