The Rebirth Of Han Yuxi

As Yuxi and her entourage walked into the garden, a gust of autumn wind blew past them with waves of light flower fragrance greeted them along the pavement. Although it was already late autumn, with the moisture from the drizzle, the garden also appears particularly lively.

Yuxi was admiring the chrysanthemums when she saw Yujing coming over with her two maids. She cheerfully greeted her, “Second Sister.”

Yujing saw Yuxi and her eyes were filled with resentment. If it weren"t for Yuxi, how would Teacher Song knew about her fraud? Now, she had not only lost the chance to learn from Teacher Song, but also been locked up for so long. She shouted to the maids around her, “All of you get out from here!”

Mama Shen, Hongshan and others looked at Yujing"s appearance. How could they dare to go away? What if once they were far away, their Miss suffered losses?

Yujing saw that not only did Yuxi not move, but also the maids and old women around her did not dare to move. Her anger became more and more intense. “Get the h.e.l.l out of here!” If they didn"t leave, they would make this dead girl (Yuxi) looked good.

Yuxi ignored Yujing and said, “Let"s go back!” It was hard for her to get out for a walk and had relaxation. As a result, despite with the garden being so big, she still could accidentally meet Yujing. It was really an unlucky year for her.

Yujing had dislike Yuchen, who always had a faint look of never put people in her eyes, for a long time. With Yuchen"s background which was extremely good, also with the Old Madam protecting her, even if Yujing was so angry, she dared not do anything to Yuchen. However, Yuxi was different. She used to see her hide herself before, but now she dared to ignore her. How could she tolerate this? She rushed forward and grabbed Yuxi"s arm, “You"re not allowed to go.”

Yuxi also became angry as she watched Yujing grabbing her arm, “What are you doing?”

While they were in Magnolia Courtyard, Yujing had to be patient because she was afraid of Teacher Song. Since she was unable to go there nowadays, why should she be like that anymore? She said with a smile, “What do you say I will do, you, the bearer of ill luck?” After that, she gave Yuxi a strong push.

Yuxi didn"t put on guard against Yujing as Yujing suddenly went crazy and pushed her. There was water on top of the blue brick just behind her. She slipped on it and fell to the ground.

Everyone was stunned.

Yuxi cried in pain on the ground while Yujing only snorted coldly, “That"s a pretty good one.” After saying this, she went back to her courtyard without paying more attention to Yuxi.

Yunqi and Yunbo were terrified. Yunqi said with great courage, “Miss, let"s go and see how Fourth Miss is doing. ” Yujing could not see what she had done right now, but the two maids knew clearly that Yuxi was not the same girl who had been easily bullied by her family before. Moreover, the Old Madam"s att.i.tude towards the Fourth Miss had also changed. This time their Miss would definitely not going to get good results.

Yujing snorted coldly, “What is there to see? It was just a push, and it won"t kill her.” Her att.i.tude was not without reason. At the beginning of the year, she pushed Yuxi down the steps. Yuxi fell to the ground and just wiped her b.l.o.o.d.y arm. As a result, Yujing was scolded with only two sentences, and nothing else.

Yunqi looked at Yujing"s att.i.tude, and became more worried. It was merely that Yujing had a very bad temper. If you irritated her too much, she would grab something and tried to kill you. Therefore, Yunqi became more worried. In the end, she didn"t dare to continue persuading Yujing.

Mama Shen was the first to react by rushing to Yuxi"s side and anxiously asked, “Miss, what"s wrong with you?”

Yuxi"s other body parts were fine, but one of her leg were particularly painful, “Mama Shen, my leg hurt.” Her foot were probably sprained.

Mama Shen wanted to lift and carry Yuxi up, but somehow she accidentally touched her injured leg. Yuxi immediately painfully cried, “The pain is killing me. It won"t work this way.”

Mama Shen cried out to Hongshan, who was standing foolishly on one side, “Go find Madam and tell her that Miss" leg is injured.” Then she turned to Yuxi, “Miss, please endure, the doctor will come in a minute.”

With this situation, Hongshan couldn"t care less for her image, as she ran to the main courtyard.

Mama Shen saw Yuxi, who screamed when she touched her, and thought for a moment and ordered nearby maids, “Go and bring over the soft couch.” Since she couldn"t hold her, then she could only carry her back.

Qiu Shi was talking to her stewardess when she heard Hongshan came over. Seeing Hongshan came in with red eyes, she hurriedly asked, “What"s wrong?”

Hongshan quickly answered, “Please, Madam, can you get a doctor for our Miss?”

Qiu Shi was shocked, “What"s happened? She was fine just now. How come such big thing happened to her?”

In a few words, Hongshan explained the conflict happened just now to Qiu Shi.

Hearing this, Qiu Shi was furious that Yujing had became more and more domineering. However, rather than looking into Yujing"s responsibility regarding the conflict, she immediately sent for a doctor and rushed to Rose Courtyard to see Yuxi.

When Yuxi saw Qiu Shi, she embraced her and cried, “Aunt, my leg hurt so much. Aunt, is my leg broken? Aunt, am I going to be crippled?” She used to hide and cried when she was wronged, but now she was no longer stupid. If she felt wronged, she had to say it out. She would stop crying under the covers.

When the maids and the old women around her heard such a mournful sound of weeping, their hearts were filled with bitter feelings. While, Moju and Motao just directly cried.

Qiu Shi hugged her and said, “Nonsense, the doctor will certainly cure you. Bear with me. The doctor will come soon.”

Yuxi cried herself hoa.r.s.e, when the doctor finally came. The doctor, who was good at treating bone injuries in the capital, examined Yuxi"s leg and said, “The girl has sprained her muscles.”

Qiu Shi asked, “Doctor, I heard that this kind of injury need one hundred days to heal, does this mean the child has to stay in bed for three months?”

The doctor looked at Yuxi"s eyes, which were as red as rabbits, as if they were asking him to appease her, “No, the girl just twisted her muscles. Not actually hurting them or broken any bones. So, don"t worry.” 

“Ah...” A shrill cry resounded three li (an ancient Chinese measurement for lenght, approximately 500m) away, making the birds on top of the trees fluttered and flied away disorderly. Hearing this sad cry, the people in Rose Courtyard were all feeling wretched in their hearts.

Qiu Shi looked at the fainted Yuxi and felt very worried, “Doctor, didn"t you say it would be alright?”

The doctor also didn"t think Yuxi was faking. The young misses from large families were all very delicate, so it was normal for them not to be able to bear such pain and it was not even surprising for them to faint. “Don"t worry, Madam. The girl pa.s.sed out because of pain and will be fine when she wakes up.”

When Yuxi woke up, she saw her left foot was wrapped up like a zongzi (glutinous rice dumpling), so she grabbed Moju who was sitting by the bed and asked, “How is my leg?”

Moju hurriedly answered, “Miss, don"t worry. The doctor said as long as you take medication for your injured leg muscles, you will only need to take a good rest for 2 days only.”

Yuxi looked at her own leg and suddenly asked, “Then, what did Grandmother said?” If Yujing was not taught a lesson this time, she would never let this matter dropped.

Moju also hated Yujing, “The Old Madam had locked Second Miss up in the family Buddhist temple and ordered her to copy Buddhist scriptures.”

First, Concubine Rong nearly cause Yuxi lost her life, now Yujing came to provoke her. She really hate them. However, it was impossible for her to deal with them now. Not to mention, she didn"t have the ability to do so, she also didn"t dare to do anything with Mama Shen and Hongshan beside her. Ah~ she was too weak. She wanted revenge but had no ability. She had lived a lifetime in vain.

Qiu Shi was also quite furious about this incident. She thought that the Old Madam"s punishment was too light. If Yujing bullied Yuchen, she didn"t believed the Old Madam would just punish her by copying Buddhist scriptures only.

Mama Li felt that this was still good. At least this time, Yujing was locked up in their family Buddhist temple. Last time, if she had to say, the situation with Yujing was without pain or itching (Chinese idiom : not getting to any matter of substance). “Madam, our top priority right now is the piece of meat in Concubine Rong"s stomach.” Concubine Rong had been favoured so much these few years. This time, Concubine Lian had managed to s.n.a.t.c.h some of the favours with so much difficulties. If Concubine Rong gave birth to a son, she would definitely rise up once more and became more arrogant.

Qiu Shi shook her head and said, “We could not get involve in this matter.” Deep down, she also hoped that Concubine Rong would not be able to retain the child, but she could not do it. There were too few children in the official residence, and every one of them was valued by the Old Madam.

Mama Li sighed in her heart. Her master was too kind and always worried about the Old Madam. She could not do anything.

In the evening, Qiu Shi went to Rose Courtyard to visit Yuxi. When she arrived there, she saw Yuxi lying on the bed reading a book. She was so absorbed that she didn"t even noticed that Qiu Shi had came into her room.

Qiu Shi felt somewhat sorry for her as she said, “You should have a good rest since you just injured your leg, but you"re reading books instead.”

Yuxi shook her head and replied, “I can"t sleep anyway, so I might as well do some reviews on books I"ve learnt. Otherwise, when Teacher Song comes back for spot checks during cla.s.s, I will have to suffer the consequences.”

Qiu Shi was somewhat surprised, “Why do you need to go to school when your leg is already like this? Just ask Teacher Song for leave of absence.”

Yuxi said with a smile, “I just hurt my leg. It does not interfere with me listening to lectures and writing.” It won"t get in the way of her listening in cla.s.s like this, but she wouldn"t be abled to finish her homework. However, she felt that Teacher Song would not be so harsh to her just because of this.

Qiu Shi touched Yuxi"s head, with her heart filled with mixed feelings.

Yuxi looked at Qiu Shi"s face and said, “Aunt, she gave me a cut on my head last year, bruised my arm at the beginning of the year, and now she twisted my leg. I wonder if Second Sister will kill me next time.” These matters were nevertheless told by Moju. She didn"t remembered any of these at all. Otherwise, she wouldn"t have spend twenty years of her past life being unguarded against Yujing.

After hearing Yuxi"s words, Qiu Shi felt terrible in her heart. “You don"t have to worry. The Old Madam has locked up Second Girl in the Buddhist temple. This time around, she has certainly been taught a lesson.”

Yuxi said all these not to gain sympathy, but for a purpose, “Aunt, I want a strong servant girl, preferably the one being bought from outside.” If she had to choose one from among the children of the family servants, because of some misgivings, it was estimated that the maid wouldn"t dare to touch a hair on Yujing. If she bought a maid from outside, hold on to her and trained her herself, the maid would be very obedient to her.

Qiu Shi hesitated, but under Yuxi"s pleading, she finally agreed, “When you meet the right one, you can redeem her. Aunt will send you the maid life contract in due course.”

Yuxi was busily nodding. Only by holding the other person"s life contract in her hand, tantamount to her controlling that person"s life and fighting power. That person was completely hers.
