"Ahem - water!" Lu Xuanxin's voice was weak and hoarse, as if he was using all his strength to say these two words.
"Okay! The water is here, Xuanxin, go slowly, I'll help you sit up." Tianying hurriedly picked up the water cup and carefully helped Lu Xuanxin up. Her movements were gentle and skillful, as if she was taking care of a fragile porcelain doll.
Lu Xuanxin slowly drank half a cup of water from the cup that Tianying handed to her, and then she felt her throat was a little better. She looked up and scanned everything in the room. She knew that this was her room after integrating the soul of the original owner, and the excited girl in front of her was her sister and personal maid, Tianying.
The furnishings in the room are simple and elegant, with pink gauze curtains, exquisite tables and chairs, and landscape paintings on the wall, all exuding a warm and peaceful atmosphere. The sunlight from the window shines in through the gauze curtains, adding a bit of vitality to the room.
"Xuanxin, how do you feel? Do you want to drink more?" Tianying asked with concern. Her voice was full of anxiety and worry, as if she was asking a patient who was about to recover.
Lu Xuanxin's sight returned to Tianying again. Tianying was a beautiful person. She had dark and lively eyes, like the bright stars in the night sky, filled with countless starlight. Her eyelashes were curled like trembling butterfly wings, and under her tall and small nose was a touch of cherry blossom-like pink lips, full and plump. Her oval face was delicate and small, her skin was white as snow, and her neck was slender like jade. She had a slender figure and was wearing a green gauze dress. Her waterfall-like black hair was lightly tied with a hairband, and she exuded a cold and offensive aura.
"I'm fine!" Lu Xuanxin moved her weak body, seeking a more comfortable position: "How long have I slept?" Although her voice was weak, it revealed a kind of tenacity and indomitable spirit.
"Xuanxin, you've been sleeping for half a month. You scared me and Madam to death." Tianying put down the cup and picked up a soft pillow and placed it behind her to make her sit more comfortably. Her movements were gentle and careful, as if she was taking care of a newborn baby.
"Ah! It's already been half a month?" Lu Xuan was annoyed. This body was really terrible. She still felt weak all over, which made her very uncomfortable. "No wonder I was so hungry. It's already been half a month." Her voice was full of helplessness and self-mockery.
Although Tianying and the others fed her Soul-Enriching Pills every day, this body had been extremely evil since she was young. No matter how precious the elixir was, after she took it, it was like rain falling into the ocean, without causing any ripples. Therefore, the Soul-Enriching Pills she took every day only barely kept her alive, and did not help her body functions at all. At this moment, she really felt the hunger unbearable, as if she didn't even have the strength to speak.
At this moment, Mrs. Li, wrapped in a black robe, walked into Lu Xuanxin's room with an indifferent look on her face. When she saw the weak girl sitting on the bed, her indifferent expression eased a little. Although her eyes were cloudy, they revealed a sharp light, as if she could see into people's hearts.
"Awake? How do you feel?" Her voice was a little hoarse, and if you listened carefully, you could vaguely hear a hint of relief in the hoarseness. Although her tone was stiff, it revealed an indescribable concern.
"Hmm!" Lu Xuanxin hummed softly from the bottom of her throat. The original owner had been afraid of this strict old lady since she was a child. Although she behaved a hundred times better in front of him than in front of outsiders, her majesty and indifference still made Lu Xuanxin feel a little uneasy. However, after integrating the soul of the original owner, she already had her own pride and persistence.
Old Lady Li frowned unhappily, but didn't say anything else. She walked to the bedside and sat down, scanning Lu Xuanxin from head to toe with her cloudy but sharp eyes. Her tone also became much stiffer: "Why did you run to the Chifeng Mountains?" Her voice was full of reproach and confusion, as if she was questioning a disobedient child.
Lu Xuanxin looked back at her calmly. After merging with the soul of the original owner, although she was still afraid of the old lady from the bottom of her heart, it was she who controlled this body now - Lu Xuanxin. She had her own pride and persistence, and would not bow down to anyone easily.
"With Madam's ability, the truth should have been revealed in half a month." She responded calmly. Although her voice was weak, it revealed an unquestionable firmness and confidence. She knew that Madam Li must have found out the truth of the matter and was just waiting for the right time to speak it out.
Old Lady Li raised her eyebrows. The girl in front of her was still the frail young lady, but at this moment, she seemed to see the shadow of the young lady in her. Her elegant and calm temperament; her intelligence and wisdom that seemed to be prepared for everything in the world; all of them were the most beautiful scenery in her memory. This feeling made her both surprised and relieved.
"You should be more careful in the future. Your physique is different from that of ordinary people." Old Lady Li's voice softened. Her tone was full of concern and admonition, as if she was giving the last instructions to a child who was about to travel far away. She knew that Lu Xuanxin was not a simple girl. She had her own secrets and mission.
Tian Ying blinked her eyes. In her memory, Old Lady Li would only speak in this tone in front of the lady. She was moved and admired by Old Lady Li's concern and advice to Lu Xuanxin. She knew that Lu Xuanxin must not be an ordinary girl. She had her own uniqueness and extraordinaryness.
Lu Xuanxin nodded gently. It wasn't that she was pretending to be aloof, but she was really powerless. It was difficult for her to even say one more word. She looked at Tianying pitifully with her round and lively eyes: "Sister Tianying, I'm hungry!" Her voice was full of helplessness and pleading, as if a starving child was begging for food from her mother.
Outside, the sun shines through the carved wooden windows, casting mottled shadows, interweaving with the faint herbal fragrance in the house to form a warm picture. The cheerful call, like the crisp bird song in spring, penetrates the quiet air: "Great, great, the porridge is here!" The voice is full of eagerness and joy, as if even the wind is dancing for it.
Old Lady Wang appeared at the threshold, her steps were hurried but steady, followed closely by two maids in light green dresses, the food boxes in their hands seemed to carry the tenderness and hope of the whole world. Old Lady Wang's face was filled with a kind smile, and the fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes seemed to be shining with happiness at this moment.
"Mammy!" Lu Xuanxin called softly, with a long-lost warmth and dependence in her voice. Her eyes were fixed on the food box in the maid's hand. The porridge aroma emanating from it was like a ray of sunshine in winter, warm and tempting. In her memory, this body had enjoyed countless delicacies, but at this moment, what she longed for most was this simple but caring bowl of porridge.
"Mammy knows that Xuanxin must be starving, but after being hungry for a long time, her stomach needs to be healed slowly." Old Lady Wang said as she hurriedly prepared the food. Her movements were a little flustered, but full of care and love. The hands full of traces of time gently opened the lid of the food box, and in an instant, a stronger aroma filled the whole room. It was the unique aroma of spiritual rice porridge, with a hint of spiritual power, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
Tears flashed in Mrs. Wang's eyes, a mixture of joy and heartache. She carefully picked up the small bowl, sat down beside the bed, and coaxed Lu Xuanxin softly: "Come, let me feed you, eat slowly." Lu Xuanxin wanted to take the bowl herself, but her body was still weak, so she could only obediently let Mrs. Wang feed her mouthful by mouthful. Every mouthful of porridge she swallowed was like a warm current flowing into her limbs, gradually restoring her spirits.
Just as the house was warm and cozy, a steady sound of footsteps was heard outside the door. Song Danshi Song Wen finally arrived. He was wearing a light blue robe with fluttering sleeves, looking extraordinary. Although he was about 40 years old, the years did not seem to leave too many marks on his face, except for a trace of fatigue in his deep eyes.
"Miss, are you awake?" Song Wen's voice was filled with anxiety. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Lu Xuanxin, who was weak beside the bed, and his face immediately showed surprise. He walked forward quickly, and before he sat down, he reached out and put his hand on Lu Xuanxin's wrist. His movements were skillful and focused, as if he was performing a sacred ritual.
Lu Xuanxin looked at Song Wen quietly, thinking in her heart. The half-month coma was not only a physical recovery for her, but also a spiritual baptism. She felt as if she had been reborn and had a new understanding of everything around her. Under Song Wen's hand, her pulse was stable and strong, and she was obviously recovering quickly.
"You've recovered very well!" Song Wen nodded in praise, his eyes full of admiration and curiosity. He noticed the changes that had taken place in Lu Xuanxin, an indescribable change in temperament, as if overnight, she had transformed from a sleeping flower into a newly blossoming rose, both delicate and full of vitality.
"It's good that he's recovered, it's good that he's recovered..." Old Lady Wang repeated this sentence excitedly, and finally couldn't help but let her tears flow down her cheeks. Lian Tianying and the two maids couldn't help but burst into tears, and were delighted by Lu Xuanxin's recovery.
"Okay, I've recovered, why are you still crying? Don't you want to see me recover?" Lu Xuanxin tried to force out a comforting smile, although there was still a hint of sob in her voice. Her heart was filled with gratitude and warmth, and the love from her family made her feel unprecedented happiness.
At this moment, there was another burst of hurried footsteps outside the door, accompanied by a slightly surprised voice: "Is Miss Xuanxin awake?" A graceful woman walked quickly into the room. Her temperament was noble and elegant. She was the wife of Lu Xuanxin's father and brother - Zeng.
"Auntie!" Lu Xuanxin smiled and nodded to the visitor. Zeng walked to the bed and sat down, gently holding her thin little hand, her eyes full of love and care: "Look at you, girl, you are so thin. You must take care of yourself in the future! But it's good to wake up, it's good to wake up..."
Zeng's words were as gentle and powerful as the spring breeze, making Lu Xuanxin feel the deep care from her elders. She nodded gently in agreement, but her mind was full of thoughts. She thought of the handsome young man in white clothes - Lu Fengshan, her brother Fengshan. Where is the young man who once accompanied her through countless happy times? Does he still remember the little girl who once relied on him?
"Is Brother Fengshan coming back?" Lu Xuanxin asked softly, her voice full of anticipation and nostalgia. Zeng smiled slightly, a gentle light flashed in her eyes: "Yes, he will be back soon. The Imperial Academy will soon start recruiting students in our Haoyue City, and your brother will return with the recruitment instructor."
A warm current surged in Lu Xuanxin's heart. She seemed to have seen that familiar figure standing in front of her, smiling and stretching out his hands to her. Her thoughts could not help but drift back to those warm and beautiful times in her previous life. Those brothers and sisters-in-law who doted on her seemed to be right beside her...
However, reality must be faced. Zeng's eyes accidentally fell on Tianying, and a complex look flashed in her eyes. She knew Tianying's talent and potential, but she knew her identity and fate better. As Lu Xuanxin's personal maid, she could only silently accompany Lu Xuanxin and wait for the arrangement of fate.
"Well, the young lady just woke up and needs more rest! Madam, don't delay here!" Old Lady Li spoke at the right time to break the silence. There was a hint of unquestionable majesty in her tone. Zeng patted Lu Xuanxin's hand and said reluctantly: "Then you have to take good care of yourself! I will come to see you in a few days!" After that, she left the room, looking back every few steps.
With Zeng's departure, the room returned to peace. Old Lady Wang also packed up and left with two maids. Only Lu Xuanxin and Tianying were left in the room. Tianying helped Lu Xuanxin lie down and kept muttering, "Xuanxin! You really scared Sister Shuang to death! Don't trust others easily or run away with others in the future! Do you understand?"
