Chapter 3 Human or Ghost?
Su Muge and Zhao left the mourning hall to the Peachblossom Courtyard, even if she was prepared, she was astonished when seeing the yard.
This yard was remote and empty. Except for an old and dying tree, there was nothing in the yard, not conforming to the yard name Peachblossom Courtyard at all. The table and chairs in the room had lost much paint and were so mottled that couldn’t recognize what’s the original color.
Zhao and the predecessor lived a dozen years under this condition, however, as the husband and father, Su Lun didn’t care at all.
“Mumu, you fell into water and scared, you should have a good rest tonight, I’ will invite a doctor to see you tomorrow morning.”
“OK.”
She just woke up and was feeble, so she fell asleep as soon as she lay down, closing her heavy eyes.
This night, the whole Su mansion was messy, but the “chief criminal” slept tight.
…
“My Miss is to see the eldest Miss, go away quickly!”
“The eldest Miss hasn’t wake up, Miss Jingwen, please…Ah!”
“Such a dirty slave, how dare you stop the second Miss!”
In the morning of next day, the dispute outdoor woke up Su Muge. When she sat up from the bed, the door was pushed open.
Su Jingwen walked in in a threatening manner with her maids. Su Muge saw the fleeting terror in her eyes, guessing that she was scared heavily last night.
Su Jingwen wore a begonia dress, belted at the waist. In the corner of her dress, there was a cute flower when she walked, which added a feeling of quip.
Su Jingwen looked like her mother An, with a pink and cute round face, full forehead and big eyes, slightly c.o.c.ked nose and rosy cherry-like lips. All of these made people dearly love her whether she was smiling or being angry.
Unfortunately, she was always spoiled by An, bullying and arrogant. She was not adorable but hateful.
Su Muge turned her sight to the weeping maid Yueru, the close maid of the predecessor, the only one who tried to save her when she fell into water.
“Yueru, what’s wrong with your face?”
Yueru sniffled and choked, “Miss Muge, I’m OK. I hit something accidentally.”
Su Muge’s eyes moved a bit, and thought “Do you really think I’m blink?”
“What did you hit that can leave a palm print?”
Su Jingwen noticed that Su Muge ignored her and thought of she’s scaring her last night, she burst into anger.
“Sister Muge, this maid didn’t behave, I guided her for you.”
“Oh，really? Which maid guided her?”
Su Jingwen’s close maid Yinghong bowed her head slightly without any respect and says, “It’s me…Ah！”
“Pa!”
Yinghong hadn’t finished her sentence and her face suffered from a slap.
The slap astonished not only Yinghong but also Su Jingwen.
After coming to herself, regardless of Su Muge being a human or ghost, Su Jingwen frowned and gnashed her teeth and said, “Su Muge, how dare you hit my maid!”
Su Muge looked at her and smiled slightly.
“Why are you saying that, my little sister. I’m teaching your undisciplined maid for you because she didn’t bow to me when she entered the room. Don’t you think she is undisciplined?”
“You, good, you dare to talk back!”
Su Jingwen glared at Su Muge and thought how strange the girl was, especially the face. It was the same as before, but with different feeling.
In the past, no matter how she bullied Su Muge, she just cried to faint, but dared not to talk back.
Was there a dirty thing in her body!
The sunlight shined on Su Muge’s pale face. Su Jingwen saw the dark red birthmark on her whole right eye. It’s conspicuous.
She was not afraid of light and she had a shadow. Su Jingwen now believed Su Muge was human, not ghost.
No matter what Su Jingwen thought of, now that Su Muge possessed the body and she should decide how to live.
“Kneel down.”
“What?”
“Don’t you come to apologize to me?” Su Muge wore a faint smile on the face and looked at her. Her eyes that seemed to see through the heart frightened Su Jingwen.
“You pushed me into water and tried to drown me. I just let you kneel down to apologize to me. Do you feel wronged?”
“Nonsense…”
“Greeting to my lord and madam.”
There were some footsteps outside, Su Jingwen changed her att.i.tude suddenly and some tears were in her eyes that glared a moment ago.
“Sister, please forgive me, I won’t beg you to play in the lotus pond again.”
“What are you doing!”
