Year Six of Yuan Cang, Chang'an.
The wind in December was strong, and the snow fell heavily, blanketing Chang'an. However, it was limited to the rooftops; the snow on the streets had long been melted by the enthusiastic citizens of Chang'an. The streets were bustling with traffic, and the lanterns shone brightly, creating a lively atmosphere.
In the plum blossom garden of the Chancellor's residence in the eastern part of the city, the fragrance filled the path behind the courtyard. A few children dressed in thick coats peeked over the wall, hoping to pick a branch or two to take home as a hair ornament for their mothers.
The Prime Minister's Residence was also decorated early, with large red lanterns hung and exquisite paper cuttings made by the maids adorning the windows. It was a scene of harmony everywhere, except for...
"Su Peijiu, I tell you, you are nothing but a child born of a mother who didn't raise you! Don't you know your father has abandoned you? What are you still doing at the Prime Minister's Residence?" The girl’s angry expression was flushed with firelight. She swung a riding whip in her hand, striking it against the ground with a series of chilling cracks.
In her line of sight, a beaten girl lay curled up, her body bleeding profusely and soaking her pale clothing. Disheveled hair obscured her face, making her features hard to discern, but her neck was as white as snow, delicate and fragile.
"Enough, Sister Four. If you kill her, how will we explain it to Father?" The older girl sitting on the only chair in the room spoke up. Although she said this, her triumphant and cold gaze conveyed a different message.
The girl with the whip sneered: "Since you're the eldest sister, I'll spare her life." She lashed the whip onto the ground and then stepped forward to help the seated girl up, walking intimately toward the door. The two sisters left deep and shallow footprints in the snow...
After an unknown amount of time had passed, as the blood on the ground froze into clots from the cold, the curled-up figure finally murmured softly and moved slightly.
"Ouch—! It hurts!" The person on the ground sat up; beneath her disheveled hair was an extraordinarily beautiful yet youthful face. She frowned deeply as she surveyed her surroundings and saw her injuries along with pools of congealed blood.
She originally was not... Suddenly, her pupils constricted sharply, and her heart felt heavy!
After an unknown amount of time had passed, she let out a low laugh that grew louder. Good! Since Heavenly Fate had given her a chance to be reborn, how could she waste Heavenly Fate's grace? Those who had tormented her in her past life would be dealt with one by one!
Biting her lip and leaning against the worn furniture beside her, she stood up. Originally, this body had a maid, but a few years ago, that maid had been killed by the pair of sisters she had just encountered while protecting her master. That unfortunate maid had no idea that the master she risked her life for was still as cowardly as ever, living in the Prime Minister's Residence worse than a dog! The final outcome was truly desolate.
Three days later, relying on the memories of the body, she finally grasped most of the situation. It turned out that two years later, most of the continent had already fallen under the control of the Yuan Cang Kingdom. However, it was no wonder; after all, who could resist Yuan Cang with its invincible Mo Wang Qi Mo?
Just as she was thinking about this, a maid appeared outside, standing by the door without coming in. From her clothing, it seemed she was one of Concubine Two's subordinates.
"Second Sister, it's time to collect your monthly allowance. Hurry up; Accountant is waiting up front." With that, she twisted her waist and left. Su Peijiu was momentarily stunned but quickly set down the book in her hands, stood up, and walked out. Little did she expect that this maid would be so quick; as soon as she stepped out the door, she vanished from sight.
Thus, Su Peijiu could only rely on the memories of this body to find her way. Just as she reached the garden, she saw the two girls who had whipped her on the day of her rebirth, and her body instinctively stiffened.
"Big Sister, look at how rude Second Sister is; she didn't even greet you," one of the girls behind said with a smile, her tone clearly flattering.
The girl referred to as Big Sister frowned slightly upon hearing herself called "Big Sister," clearly displeased with this title. Unfortunately, the younger girl did not notice and continued to call her what she thought was an endearing name.
Su Peijiu stood there feeling the tension emanating from this body and sympathized with its owner. After all, she was the Legitimate Daughter of the Prime Minister's Residence; being bullied by these Concubine's illegitimate daughters was truly unreasonable! The Yuan Cang Kingdom was nothing but this!
"Su Peijiu! You have some nerve; you didn't even greet me when you saw me?" Su Xingyan said with a gentle yet unmistakably malicious smile as she blocked Qin Ge's path. "I didn't know that a child born from Jun Liuji could be so uncultured!"
