Xiang Xueer has not forgotten about the handsome man. She originally thought she was dead, but unexpectedly, she has been reborn in this ancient time. Joking aside, she must live life to the fullest and enjoy everything she missed while alive.
With her eyebrows drawn, blush applied, and a pearl hairpin inserted into her hair, Xiang Xueer looked at herself in the mirror and felt as if she had transformed. She appeared cute yet fresh and radiant. A satisfied smile crept onto her lips: "Hmph! I may look unassuming, but it turns out this little girl cleans up quite nicely!"
Xiang Xueer turned around and pushed open the door, stepping out of the room. She gazed at the vast courtyard and the blue sky. "Ouyang Jiaorong, from now on, I am you."
She walked confidently into the courtyard, and all the Housekeepers looked at her with astonished expressions. Hmph, of course! The foolish Third Miss has turned into an unbeatable beauty; let them stare a little longer, but they better not get too entranced.
It was June, the season when lotus flowers bloomed abundantly. As Xiang Xueer walked across the Small Bridge, she saw a pond full of vibrant lotus flowers. In the distance, she spotted Qingtian standing not far from the Rockery, surrounded by a group of Maids who were laughing at him. She sneered: "Good men are always in the spotlight! Just watch me!"
Just as she was about to head over there, she suddenly felt a sharp pain from behind. Xiang Xueer instinctively sensed someone was attacking her, but when she turned around, a force knocked her to the ground.
'Slap! Slap! Slap!' Her face throbbed with pain, feeling as if it were on fire. Slowly opening her eyes, she saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl with two buns on her head sitting on top of her, continuously slapping her cheeks.
"Beat her to death, that fool...!"
"A fool is a fool; she deserves to be beaten to death!" Laughter echoed around her.
"What are you doing?" Xiang Xueer quickly grabbed the girl's hands. With a swift motion, she stood up and turned around, gripping the girl's neck and throwing her to the ground.
The girl sitting on the ground was startled by her reaction. Two boys around seven or eight years old stood nearby with surprised expressions on their faces.
"You dare hit me? You're asking for death!" she shouted angrily, touching her painfully slapped cheek, filled with an urge to kill. If it weren't for Qingtian being nearby, she would have crushed the girl's throat already.
Xiang Xueer rubbed her face and hurried to the lakeside. She crouched down to closely examine her red cheek from being hit. Suddenly, before she could think clearly, the girl who had just struck her rushed towards her. She saw a sinister smile appear behind her in the water, and then the girl reached out to push her into the lake.
Xiang Xueer’s eyes twitched, and she quickly moved her feet. With a fluid motion, she had already left the lakeside. There was a splash as the girl fell into the lake herself, sending waves rippling across the surface. The girl flailed about in the water, crying out repeatedly, "Help! Help! I can't swim!"
The two boys standing on the shore panicked and began to flee in all directions, shouting, "Linglong fell into the water! Hurry and save her!"
"Hmph! Little girl, you thought you could plot against me? You must be blind!" Xiang Xueer stood calmly beside a rockery, with a cold killing intent in her eyes, watching the struggling girl in the water. She glared at her without any concern.
