Gao Zige pulled me impatiently. The sudden and violent movement made me choke on my chest and I couldn't lift it up. As soon as my eyesight went dark, I didn't know anything.

When I woke up, I was already back in the wing of Qingya Village. In the silent night, there was only the sound of the gentle breeze rustling the leaves.

I was very thirsty, and it took me a long time to get out of bed. I opened the window and a cool breeze came in. Under the dark night, the waning moon was like a hook, with a cold and unworldly light, and the surroundings were hazy.

After drinking a cup of cold, bitter and strong tea, my consciousness seems to be much clearer.

If you want to save your life and find out the truth, you must at least live a peaceful life before that.

Okay, no matter what conspiracy Gao Zige has, I have decided not to share the same country with you.

I was thrown away by Gao Zige's palm, so I had to lie in bed peacefully to recuperate for half a month. Fortunately, Gao Zige didn't mean to kill me for the time being, and at least he hired a doctor to see me and recuperate.

The servants in Qingya Village are cautious in their words and deeds, and are meticulous in their work, even giving people a lifeless feeling.

Because the maid who serves me always takes advantage of Gao Zige’s absence to show me her face and ignores my words.

Okay, I admit that I am petty, I did it on purpose

One day when Gao Zige was supervising taking medicine, I deliberately failed to take the medicine she handed over. I just wanted to spill the medicine, so Gao Zige scolded her a few words so that she would not dare to do anything in front of me in the future, and asked her to take it again.

Going to boil medicine will increase my workload, and maybe I can escape the tragic fate of drinking medicine...

Who would have thought that God would not be kind to him, and he would be punished if he had too many bad intentions...

I calculated the time, angle, strength, speed...

But I forgot that the bowl of medicine had just been boiled and was still very hot. It was not 100c but also 80c...

As a result...unfortunately, the bowl of medicine contributed to my hands and thighs...

This result is really not what I expected...

As a result, the maid went to the kitchen to chop firewood after being severely scolded, and I became a disabled person and stayed in bed for three more days.

This is what happens when you do bad things!

I looked at my two white rice dumplings that were covered with blisters and tightly wrapped with birdies, pretending to be calm, and glanced at the new maid as if inadvertently.

"You said you are the new maid the steward bought to serve me?"

This girl is quite pretty, although her expression is cold and unfriendly, but what I like is that I like it. Isn’t human trafficking illegal these days? She actually treats people like animals and sells them back and forth...

"Yes!" The new maid replied to me expressionlessly. Although she was cold, her eyes were gentle.

I glanced at her slightly bulging belly, frowned and continued to ask, "You are already a mother, and you are still being sold? Is it possible that your husband... er, your husband-in-law abused you?"

Darling, could it be that she was a maid from a wealthy family who got pregnant after being played by a henpecked master, and then had to resell her as a last resort?

"No, my father-in-law... he went out. We only got married for more than half a year. Since then, due to some reasons, I haven't been able to return home. Two days ago... my father-in-law passed away and I had no money for burial, so I sold myself."

"Ah... So that's what happened..." I felt ashamed, because the colorful imagination I had just imagined had gone too far, the plot of the tragic little maid and the henpecked coward... Oh, stop it.

Stop it!

"Have your father-in-law's affairs been settled?" I asked sympathetically.

"It's been taken care of, so today is my first day at work."

"What about...my mother-in-law?"

"My mother-in-law died many years ago and I have never seen her."

"Then, uh... just stay here peacefully, I won't make things difficult for you... By the way, after all this, I still don't know what to call you?"

"...My name is Mu Lian!" After saying that, he looked at me deeply, as if a little sadness flashed away.

Well, she should still be immersed in the grief of losing her loved ones and losing her freedom. I should understand her.

"Okay, Mu Lian, you can follow me from now on! However, my body is almost healed. Can I stop drinking this bowl of medicine?" I glanced at the disgusting bitter medicine and my face fell.

Talking pitifully

"...Madam, what's good just means that it's not good yet!" Mu Lian said sternly, completely ignoring my pity.

Oh, buy Karma, a tricky one left, and a dull one came. Life is really boring!

However, although this Mu Lian is very cold, she never plots against me. On the contrary, she takes very good care of me.

Gao Zige is often so busy that no one can be seen. It is said that my brother, who is always mysterious and invisible, often discusses things behind closed doors in a mysterious manner.

It's strange, am I not his biological sister? Why has he never summoned me after I have been in the capital for more than 20 days? On the contrary, I suspect that Gao Zige is his biological brother.

They're probably all stuck together.

Not allowed to go out, which is called recuperating, but is actually Gao Zige’s hegemony, another euphemism for asking me to be the canary in the birdcage.

In addition to eating, drinking, and having sex every day, I also visit the gardens and mountains behind the village...

My days were peaceful and uneventful, until one day I discovered that I was so moldy that I was about to grow mushrooms. I counted on my fingers and realized that three months had passed in a blink of an eye.

The Chinese New Year will be here in less than twenty days. Gao Zige means I won’t be returning to the Great Wall in the short term. This year I will celebrate the Chinese New Year in Chang’an.

For some reason, grain and grass began to be stored in the abandoned warehouse in the back mountain, and horses began to be raised in the large open space next to the back mountain.

Looking at thousands of horses of various colors, I blinked in confusion. Could it be that Gao Zige is planning to change his career to become a horse dealer?

"As a woman, don't worry too much. It won't do you much good. Anyway, the less you know, the better." Gao Zige looked at my doubts and dismissed me with one sentence.

"Then... Anyway, I have nothing to do, and I am very bored. Can I come over and watch other people raise horses?" I don't know why, but I feel very friendly when I see so many horses. I was not the right person in my previous life.

Are there any people who love animals?

"Raise a horse? Do you want to learn to ride a horse?" Gao Zige raised his charming eyebrows and glanced at me meaningfully.

"Ride?" I swallowed my saliva, "I don't have any plans for this in the short term. I don't want to blow my butt yet. I... am just bored. Come and chat with Brother Ma and Uncle Ma. You won't let me go out anyway."

"...Forget it, it's up to you, as long as you don't go out to attract bees and butterflies for me, just Hongxing comes out of the wall," Gao Zige said with a sarcastic glance at me.

I...fuck you, when did I have an affair with Hongxing? Why do you always like to talk about me...uh, what do you say about me?

Is Hongxing cheating? Gao Zige often says that to me?

I don't seem to remember... If my memory is correct, this is the first time I heard Gao Zige say that about me

But, why in my impression... is wrong, there is such a person who seems to often scold me like this...

Cold, yet tender, and jealous... doting...

What happened in a previous life?

I'm at a loss again...

The following words are not included in the chapter word count. I just want to explain that the issue of the burden between the first sentence of this chapter and the last sentence of the previous chapter is actually that I missed a few words in the previous chapter. For the sake of completeness, I will complete the sentence.
