chapter 1 - Detention

Chapter 1 - Detention

In the morning at Plum Flower Pavilion .

After tossing about in bed for a whole night and just having entered the land of dreams , Shu Huan was awakened by the push of someone .

Confusedly , she opened her eyes and saw maid Qiaoyun standing in front of the bed .

Maid Qiaoyun said to her , " Second young mistress , forgive my offense ! "

Before she could react , two servants came forward . With one at the right and one at the left , she was taken out of the room . She couldn't help but panic , " What are you doing ? "

Qiaoyun led the way in the front . She didn't turn , " Old mistress said to change a more suitable place for second young mistress , lest to avoid you committing suicide every other day . "

The so - called suitable place was a small room inside Plum Flower Pavilion .

There were only four walls . There wasn't even one piece of furniture inside the room . It was so empty that there wasn't even a bed .

There was only a pile of dry straws on the ground .

It seemed like a place where people used to sit on . How was this a place where people reside ? It was obviously detention .

Shu Huan was pushed to the pile of straws . Before she could get up , she heard the door being slammed . Not only was the door closed , but she could hear the sound of it being locked .

It seemed that they were bent on to lock her up .

Then , it wouldn't be of any use to scream and beat the door .

Then , she would not waste energy . She sat while hugging her knees and put her chin on her knees .

Suddenly , she felt her eyes stung and wanted to cry .

She was already unhappy that she inexplicably time - travelled .

And , the original owner of this body had to commit suicide by hanging herself , making the moment she time - travelled to here , she had to stay in bed for two days and was forced to drink very bitter medicine .

She didn't even have the time to think about what to do next , when she had fallen to the point where she was detained .

It seemed that this mess left by the original owner was more troublesome than she thought .

An abnormal experience , the physical pain and mental torture ...

Under such heavy pressure , Shu Huan wasn't able to take it anymore and fell asleep again .

Even in her sleep , her heart was still tangled . So , she woke up again and then slept again . She didn't know how many times she slept and woke up .

She also didn't know how much time had passed . When she truly woke up , she had completely figured it out and she had calmed down .

Cherish life and stay safe .

Anyway , a scorpion isn't afraid of being bitten . If one was already so unlucky , one would be unruffled .

She stood up and sorted out the pile of straws , so that she could sit and sleep more comfortably .

Suddenly , she heard the door being unlocked .

She turned and saw maid Huiyun came in while holding a red tray .

Behind her was the sunset . It was nearly night .

No wonder the room was so dark .

When Huiyun squatted down and put the red tray on the ground , she saw the food that was sent in the morning and at noon . They weren't touched .

She couldn't help but frown from worry , "Second young mistress , no matter how much grievances and sadness you are feeling , you should eat "

" Eat ! Of course , I will eat ! "

Before , the room was too dark . Shu Huan didn't see those meals .

Now , she was already very hungry .

She reached out and grabbed a Chinese steamed twisted bread roll from the tray , put it in her mouth and began to chew .

After Huiyun saw that she was willing to eat , she felt relieved .

She comforted her ( SH ) , " Second young mistress , first succumb to these grievances for a few days . Old madam said that after second young master gets well , she will let you out "

One mouthful of Chinese steamed twisted bread roll stuck in her throat and couldn't go down .

Shu Huan took over the tea Huiyun quickly poured .

After a few gulps , she showed a bitter smile .

While she was in bed for two days , although she was so in pain as to not want to live anymore and didn't have the mind to pay attention to other things , but she heard some rumors .

She vaguely knew that the original owner of this body was a girl from a poor family who married with the hope that the ' event of great joy ' would drive away his bad luck and hasten his recovery .

In the end , she committed suicide by hanging on the wedding night and caused the already very ill second young master Gu to faint .

Four or five doctors were invited and took turns to take care of him .

The event didn't bring great joy , but instead it brought bad luck .

In all fairness , that Gu family detained her here was pardonable . She was gloomy but wasn't angry .

She was thinking that after their anger was subdued , they would let her out .

She didn't expect that Huiyun would give her a thunder from the clear sky .

How was this comfort ? This was worse than comfort ! Shu Huan was afraid that she understood wrongly and asked , " I can go out after his illness got well ? "

Huiyun nodded a bit awkwardly , "Old madam said so ... "

Really want to smash the table !

Shu Huan lost appetite and put the Chinese steamed twisted bread roll on the tray , "When do you feel his illness will get well ? "

Huiyun hesitated and didn't answer .

It was the same as she had guessed !

He was already so ill that he needed a marriage so that the event of great joy would drive away his bad luck and hasten his recovery .

Presumably , it was some chronic disease that couldn't be cured .

It is a terminal illness ! Wait till second young master Gu get well , then doesn't she have to wait until the end of time ?

Shu Huan said resentful , " If his illness doesn't get well and if he .... "

Huiyun panicked , " Second young mistress , don't say this . Second young master is a good person . Heaven will help those worthy . He will get well"

Who was she deceiving ?!

Shu Huan picked up a straw and keep tying it in knots , " I didn't mean to curse him . I only wanted to understand the matter well . How long had he been ill ? "

Huiyun also knew those words were a lie . She lowered her head , " Ever since young , second young master's body hasn't been well . This illness had been lingering since he was four or five years old . Last year , he got seriously ill . Later , he got slightly better and was able to eat , but he wasn't able to get out of bed . Old madam had been looking forward to seeing him get better , but she didn't expect that the spring of this year , his illness got worse again ... "

After hearing this , Shu Huan couldn't sit still any longer .

She stood up and said , " I want to bother you to bring me to the old madam . "

In any case , she had to find a way of survival for herself . Whether it was possible or not , it was better than to sit and do nothing .

She didn't expect that Huiyun hurriedly stopped her , " Old madam was in a bad mood these past two days . People wanted to hide from her , why would second young mistress want to bump into her ? It was better to stay here for a few days and then see what to do after . "

" I can't stay any longer ! " Shu Huan raised her eyes , swept over the room and smiled bitterly , " Are you afraid that I would commit suicide ? You didn't even give me a bed ! I don't mind sleeping on the ground but letting me sit and lie for a whole long day , it really can let people go crazy from boredom ! Your old madam should be a reasonable person . I only want to tell her that I won't commit suicide . She didn't have to guard against me like this . Instead of locking me up like this and waste your food , it's better to let me out and serve second young master to atone for my crimes by meritorious acts "

The words were reasonable , but how could it be so simple ?! Locking her in here , aside from fearing that she would commit suicide , the old madam thinks that she was unlucky .

She just married and almost caused the death of second young master .

This was why old madam ordered her to be isolated .

It was just , although Huiyun understood this in her heart , but because of her status , she couldn't say it openly .

When she saw Shu Huan's persistence , she said , " Second young mistress , this slave can't decide on this . If you truly want to see old madam , you have to ask concubine Yun "

" Concubine Yun ? " Shu Huan was surprised .

" Mm " Huiyun didn't dare to look at her reaction .

She said with lowered head , " Concubine Yun was taken in by second young master last year . It was also because he was seriously ill that old madam wanted him to take a wife to let the event of great joy drive away his bad luck and hasten his recovery . It was just , at that time eldest young master hadn't taken a wife yet . It was not good to take one before him , so she was made a concubine instead of a wife . When concubine Yun married over , she didn't sleep for three days and nights and served second young master without resting . Second young master got slightly better and she fainted from tiredness . Because of this old madam often praised her and said that this affection was rare . She also praised her in everything . Now , second young mistress , you ... "

She paused and didn't continue , but Shu Huan understood .

" Now , I am detained . She is in charge of everything in this courtyard . "

Huiyun nodded and didn't say anything .

Shu Huan smiled bitterly .

Don't worry about not knowing the goods but worry about comparing them : a person's true value could only be determined through comparison .

Compared to the original owner , the actions of concubine Yun was like high the sky and her ( SH ) actions low like the ground !

The moment the other party married , her whole heart was on the patient . The moment the original owner married , she rushed to commit suicide by hanging .

No wonder even if she took up the identity of wife , she was still not accepted !

It was just , she didn't know whether there was a hidden secret inside of these .

Besides , everyone has their own aspirations .

She also couldn't say who was wrong or right . She only knew that the mess she had to clean up because of the original owner was big ! But no matter what , she first had to think of a way to get out .

This was the most important thing at the moment .

After thinking it through , Shu Huan insisted , "I bother you to please bring concubine Yun for me . "

Huiyun hesitated for a moment and the nodded .
