Chapter 1: Transmigrate
Lin Xiao Ci has a very bad headache, her throat let out a painful groan.
With great effort, she opened her eyes. The glaring light made her unable to adapt for a while, and she lifted her hands to block it.
Her fingertips have not touched her forehead, she stopped.
With squinted eyes, she saw the bruises on her wrists.
Shocked, how did she get injured?
Belatedly realizing that her whole body ache.
What made her even more shocked was she felt that her body under the blanket is not clothed at all.
Her mind seemed to stop working.
She suddenly sat up, eyes swept across her surrounding, seeing an ancient room.
A dressing table was placed near the windows, and on both sides were all drawers.
On the counter, displayed all kinds of rogue powder boxes, seemingly very exquisite and below the dressing table was a wooden stool. On the other side, a rosewood wardrobe with flower carvings and many rosewood boxes were seen.
On the left, there was a carpet. Above it hung a gauze curtain. The rosewood boxes had spilled over into the neighboring room.
Below her, the bed was sturdy. Above her, the red yarn curtain was like smoke. (TL: I don’t really know what this mean…)
On the bed was a flowery patterned mattress, looking very new. The blanket covering her was embroidered with mandarin ducks, even the pillow too.
Was she dreaming?
Just as she was extremely confused, a careful knock on the door was heard, followed by a gentle female voice. “Miss, it’s time to wake up. Old master and madam are waiting for you to pay them respect. Eldest young master is already there waiting.”
Lin Xiao Ci: I’m really am dreaming!
Laying back down on the bed, she shut her eyes. If she sleep and wake up again, she should be able to return to reality.
But the pain on her body feels so real, she couldn’t fall asleep at all.
Pushing away the blankets, her body doesn’t seem to have anywhere unhurt.
The initiator must be a wretched male, too perverted!
At this time, the urging voice was once again heard, carrying an anxious tone. “Miss, did you hear servant’s words? It’s time to wake up, letting elders wait for too long will bring about punishment.”
Lin Xiao Ci was annoyed, decided to carry on this weird nightmare. Maybe the next moment, she would wake up? She responded “Waking up now.”
The maid outside the door: “Miss, do you need this servant to serve you?”
Lin Xiao Ci thought, right now her body was filled with marks and she didn’t want others to see, even if it’s just a dream. “No need, just wait at the door.”
Lin Xiao Ci wrapped herself in the covers and got off the bed. The moment she stood, she fell down. Though the blanket cushioned her fall, it was still painful.
This doesn’t seem like it’s a dream.
Especially the between of her legs, there was an unfamiliar strange pain.
Even though she has no experience, she understood what it means.
If this is truly a dream, the senses are too real.
The next moment, fear started to permeate her whole being.
She felt chills all over, a bold idea came to mind: she couldn’t have transmigrated?
Enduring the pain, she walked over to the windows, facing the bronze mirror. 15 years old, long hair reaching the waist, lofty dagger eyebrows, a beautiful face, giving off an amorous feeling.
She felt that using the word ‘stunner’ would be most suitable.
But this is not her!?
She’s the pretty daughter of a humble family kind, and her figure though can be considered seductive, but it cannot be compared with the lady in the mirror.
Just what is going on?
Last night she was clearly in her house, how come she has woken up in this place?
Forcefully pushing down the fear in her heart, she decided to take things a step at a time, and walked to the wardrobe to find something to wear.
The clothes in the wardrobe were as the owner, gorgeous. She flipped the wardrobe and settled on a light pink apparel, spending quite some time on figuring out how it’s supposed to be worn.
She washed her face at the washbasin, then sat at the dressing table.
Without knowing how to arrange her hair, she thought of the servant girl outside the door. Calling her miss, the servant should be her personal maid.
The original owner is able to bring her personal maid over after marriage, and there were so many dowry, without a doubt is a wealthy miss. Putting on airs: “Come in and help me brush my hair.”
“Yes.” The servant girl came in from the hall into the bed chamber, sweeping a glance at the bed, her facial expression slightly changed.
Lin Xiao Ci quietly measured her, only 13 or 14 years of age, very obedient looking.
Her hair was arranged in a servant style, her small face was round, seemingly living well.
She respectfully stood behind Lin Xiao Ci, very softly said: “Miss, didn’t you say you are only putting on a show with eldest young master? How did y’all…
But it’s good this way too, if not second young mistress would think that it’s because of second young madam, you married eldest young master, then egg on old master and madam to make matters difficult for you.
Lin Xiao Ci could not digest the words of the servant girl completely, other than feeling shocked was still shocked.
However, she still could not fully understand the entire situation, so she could only quietly observe, silently lowering her head not making a sound.
Servant girl: “Miss, do you want to put on makeup then brush your hair?”
Lin Xiao Ci looked up at the bronze mirror, reflecting a shocking beauty. If there was an additional layer on her face, it would just bring down the attractiveness. “No need.”
The servant girl made a sound of acknowledgement, taking up the brush, her actions light and gentle. But the moment her hair was being untangled, she still made a sound of pain.
Ssi!
She frowned, hand touching a big gun at the back of her head. Last night, the original owner must have been beaten up by the newly wedded husband.
Despicable!
He actually hit women! And it’s a charming beauty to boot!
Lin Xiao Ci facial expression became gloomy.
The servant girl hurriedly knelt and kowtow “Miss, servant didn’t do it on purpose, have mercy.”
Lin Xiao Ci gave a fright. This was the first time someone knelt before her, she quickly held her up “I don’t blame you, you did not have to kneel, stand up and speak.”
The servant girl looked at Lin Xiao Ci, surprised, and belatedly stood up. Very quickly, the servant girl arranged her master’s hair and inserted a golden buyao into her hair.
Lin Xiao Ci felt that her head was being weighed down, she took it down and in her jewelry box found a plain color silk flower “This will do.”
“Miss, normally didn’t you dislike pearl hairpins? This…. Actually looks like Second Young Madam. She’s has always plainly dressed, I’m afraid she would say you are copying her behind your back.”
Lin Xiao Ci: “….”
Second Young Madam very simple and neat, while she’s flirtatious and cheap?
She didn’t want to compare with a woman she has never met before.
Digging through the jewelry box, she found a hairpin that matched her clothing. “Then this.” Charming and yet not lose it’s cuteness.
Her servant girl helped her put it on nicely, and also arranged her clothing.
Her servant girl ordered someone to come in to tidy the bed chamber, while she accompanied Lin Xiao Ci to the front hall.
Lin Xiao Ci admired the scenery along the way. Small bridge, flowing water and fake mountains, prettier than a scenic garden. The background of this family seems to be quite wealthy.
Just paying respect, why did she have to go alone? That man was really hateful!
She thought of inquiring about that man but she’s worried of arousing the servants suspicions, didn’t dare to act impulsively.
Also, she noticed that all the maids who entered the bed chamber all held a respectful expression towards her, they are probably all her people.
However, all the servants in the courtyard held a malicious expression on their face, without the slightest intention of covering up.
Thinking of the words of her servant girl when she first stepped into the bed chamber, the original owner married the eldest young master for the second young master.
Her head started to spin, feeling that something is about to pop out.
With her discomforted body, she walked very slowly.
Taking this chance of being in a voided place, “Miss, later if Old Master and Old Madam asked you anything, you must endure your temper, do not argue with them, so as to not bring hatred.”
Lin Xiao Ci nodded, if they do not touch her baseline, she wouldn’t create trouble.
