Chapter 1 Reborn Through Fire (2/2)

Her first thought was that G.o.d was indeed fair. She had been reborn!

G.o.d must have seen her tragic circ.u.mstances and allowed her to seek her own revenge. She did not have to wait for the next life. She could seek revenge in this life! Auntie Fang, Mo Xuemin, Sima Lingyun. She would not trust the wrong people again!

This time, it'd be her turn to send them to h.e.l.l!

”Miss, do you want some water? Does your head still hurt? You mustn't scare your nursemaid again. How am I to live if something happens to you! How are you feeling now? Are you hurting anywhere...”

A middle-aged woman wearing a grey robe lifted the door curtains and entered. She paused for a moment when she saw Mo Xuetong sitting in bed dazedly. Then, there remained only pity on her face. She hurried forward and she reached out to tuck the blankets in and then touched Xuetong's forehead out of habit before she relaxed and started nagging.

This nagging made Mo Xuetong feel warm and happy!

Mother Xu. It was her nursemaid, Mother Xu, who had stuck by her through thick and thin. When she saw the familiar haggard face, she could not help but cry, blurring her sight.

She took in Mother Xu's familiar scent and the warm body beneath her hands. Mo Xuetong's tears fell unceasingly. She recalled that incident.

It was her mother's death anniversary the day before yesterday. She was praying beside the lake. She had picked time after dinner when there were fewer people to go since she was not at her own home. She had brought two maids, Mo Yu, and Mo Zhu, with her. She hoped that the river would be able to bring her yearning for her mother back to her home.

She had left her mother's fan behind. Mo Yu had returned to retrieve. Mo Zhu retreated to behind her after preparing the incense table. She knelt quietly on the floor and started to pray. However, she did not know that trouble would descend from the skies! A rock had loosened from the fake mountain, cras.h.i.+ng upon her. She got up hurriedly and wanted to run away, but her skirts had been tangled up with something and she fell into the river.

She had almost died that time! She had only regained consciousness after two days!

That's right. She remembered clearly that there were not any things that could have tripped her nearby. The ground was empty around her and there was not even a blade of gra.s.s. However, she was tripped and landed in the water. The feeling as if there was something choking her at her throat so that she could not breathe felt so real. She dove into Mother Xu's embrace and sobbed so hard she could not catch her breath.

”Miss, Miss. What's wrong? Are you hurt? Let Mother Xu see!” Mother Xu thought she had been shocked by the incident when she saw her crying. She heart ached as she held Mo Xuetong and patted her back lightly. She coaxed her in a gentle voice, ”It's alright, Miss. Miss, it's fine now. Mother Xu is here!”

She held Mother Xu tightly and cried even harder. She cried as if her heart and lungs were tearing. It was as if she wanted to cry out all hatred, anger, and fear. After this time, she would not cry again. In the future, those people would cry!

Those people would hurt several times over more than how she hurt now!

”Tong'er, what's wrong? Who bullied my Tong'er!” There was a clear and familiar laugh at the door. She had not yet entered and the sound of her laughter could already be heard. The curtains outside were lifted highly by a person. Mdm Yu entered with a smile on her face.

She was about 30 and was beautiful. She wore a light coral pleated skirt and seemed especially young. When she entered, she sized up Mo Xuetong. When she saw that the girl was lying weakly against the bed, she went up to her bed and sat down, holding her hand affectionately.

”Aunt!” Mo Xuetong tampered down on the sharpness in her eyes and looked up tearily. She looked at Mdm Yu dazedly!

Through the hazy tears, she saw the coldness in the shrewd eyes. She did not look a little sad or worried at all!

”You look so pitiful. You're so skinny! Your body is too weak. You have to rest more.” Mdm Yu quickly ordered Mo Zhu who came in with her. Her smile was kind, and she looked like an elder who doted on a younger family member. However, she did not mention anything about Mo Xuetong falling into the water!”

”Miss, lie down and rest. You tripped because you're so weak. Look, madam was so worried after you fell into the river that she couldn't sleep! You're so lucky to have an aunt like madam to dote on you.” Mo Zhu walked up, wanting to help Mo Xuetong lie down.

She was a maid wearing a cotton floral dress. She was about 15 or 16 and was in the prime of her life. She looked weak as if a gust of wind would blow her away. She looked like a good servant who was worried about her mistress!

However, when one listened closely, they would hear that she was not speaking up for Mo Xuetong, but was praising Mdm Yu. Instead, she said that Mo Xuetong was weak and made her elder worry for her!

Mo Xuetong looked up and glanced at her. She laughed coldly in her heart.

Mo Zhu, how could she forget her...

She was ill right now, but Mo Zhu had not cared for her but went to Mdm Yu to court her affections instead. She was blaming Mo Xuetong for not knowing her place while leaving in someone else's house, getting into trouble.

Now that she thought about it, it was obvious that someone had tripped her up by the lake. There was no one else but Mo Zhu there!
