Everything in front of him seemed familiar, and Zi Ran couldn't help but think of the past again.

Zi Ran was orphaned at a very young age, wandering around, begging for a living.However, successive years of natural disasters and increasingly stringent taxes have gradually eroded the kindness in human nature, and more people choose to ignore it than to help a stranger.

When she was eight years old, the winter was extremely cold, and many people even froze to death.She finally snatched half a cold steamed bun from other people, but was blocked in an alley by a group of vagrants.The leader was a tall boy, well known to the street children in the neighborhood, and he often used his age and strength to bully the children around him.

"You little girl, you actually want to eat alone!" It is said that he is tall, but compared to normal children, he is still pale and thin. Although he is acting fiercely, he can still feel his lack of energy.

Zi Ran tightly protected the half of the cold steamed bun, she hadn't eaten for several days, and was dizzy from hunger.She always felt that she couldn't survive this winter, and would freeze to death even if she wasn't starved to death, but she just didn't want to give up the steamed buns she had so hard to grab.

She didn't want to be like the unlucky guy whose steamed buns were stolen from her.With a hint of determination, she stuffed the steamed buns into her mouth vigorously, she would rather be choked to death like this than starve to death.

Those children never thought that Zi Ran would be so ignorant. Seeing that this rare steamed bun was about to fall into the mouth of others, they were very unwilling. They thought it would be good to get some scraps, so they rushed forward to snatch it together.

The steamed buns are actually not big, but Zi Ran has already swallowed them all in two or three bites.Seeing that the steamed buns were gone, the rest felt resentful, so they punched and kicked Zi Ran.Zi Ran curled up on the ground, letting the pain spread all over her body, without even making a sound.

There was the sound of rutting in the distance, and it was getting closer and closer until it stopped at the entrance of the alley.Zi Ran raised her eyes and stared at the carriage, not because she had any hope, but because she just wanted to divert her attention away from the pain.She counted the spokes, over and over again, and in the end she couldn't remember how many times she counted and how many spokes there were.

The carriage didn't leave, but there was no movement, even the driver was no different from when he just stopped, like a stone statue, only the horse moved from time to time, but didn't take a step.

Although those kids didn't have much knowledge, they always knew that people who could afford a carriage were from rich families, not to mention that this carriage looked much more grand than the ordinary carriages on the street.Out of fear of the people on the carriage, the group of children lowered their strength, hesitating whether they should stop, but seeing that the other party had no intention of interfering, they relaxed and beat Zi Ran to death.

Shu Jiaoyan sat in the car and looked at Zi Ran, she wanted to know when the girl who was beaten would ask her for help.But no, Zi Ran just kept staring at the carriage, biting his lip desperately, blood came out from the bite, his eyes were desperate but firm, which made Shu Jiaoyan agitated.She thought that the girl would definitely call for help, and then she could leave gracefully and calmly, but now it was completely beyond her expectations, so she decided to save the girl.

With the support of the coachman, Shu Jiaoyan got out of the carriage and walked towards Zi Ran.

Seeing that the people on the carriage wanted to interfere, the group of children ran away without a trace.

Shu Jiaoyan didn't stop her, she looked at Zi Ran lying on the ground, a little smile appeared on her face.She squatted down, gently wiped the blood on Zi Ran's face with a handkerchief, and told her softly, "Don't be afraid, they won't bully you anymore."

But at this time, Zi Ran was no longer the little girl who was lying on the ground and beaten just now, Zi Ran's reborn soul returned to this moment, when she just met Shu Jiaoyan.She still remembers that when she heard this sentence, she hugged Shu Jiaoyan and cried out in her arms, staining Shu Jiaoyan's skirt, but Shu Jiaoyan just hugged her and let her cry.At that time, she felt that the person in front of her was like a fairy who strayed into the mortal world, beautiful and kind, but now thinking about it, it was just a means to buy people's hearts, but she was so stupid back then, and was bought by such a small favor, Willingly work for Shu Jiaoyan.

Although she didn't know why she was able to live again, but the moment she realized where she was, she had made up her mind not to be the same as in the previous life.

This time, Zi Ran didn't hold back her tears like she did in her previous life, she just lowered her eyes, looked away from Shu Jiaoyan, and gave a soft "hmm".It looks so fragile, so cautious, like a child who has suffered so much and doesn't know how to face kindness.

Seeing this, Shu Jiaoyan really felt a little distressed, and picked her up, not paying any attention to the blood on her body.She settled Zi Ran in the carriage, told the coachman to "go home", and began to investigate Zi Ran's injuries.

Shu Jiaoyan looked at Ziran's slender wrist, skinny and skinny, it seemed that it could be easily broken with a little force, and the movements of his hands unconsciously relaxed.

"I'm from the Shu family, do you have a name?"

The Shu family that the whole capital can say so lightly without explanation can only be that one Shu family.

The Shu family is well-known in the capital and even in the whole world. It is the most powerful family in the entire capital. From the princes and dignitaries to the three religions and nine schools, they all have more or less relationships with the Shu family. Almost all industries have a share of the Shu family.Moreover, it is said that members of the Shu family can communicate with spirits, and the current national teacher Shu Zhiyuan is a member of the Shu family.The Shu family can be said to be extremely powerful and wealthy, and for some reason the emperor trusted the Shu family so much that he was completely unprepared and allowed the Shu family to expand wantonly, almost to the point of sacrificing the imperial power.

There are still many rumors about the Shu family in the capital, and everyone can tell many different versions.Having stayed in the Shu family for so long in her previous life, Zi Ran knew that most of these rumors were nonsense, but the tip of the iceberg of the Shu family that she could glimpse as a servant was even more bizarre than the rumors.

"My name is Zi Ran." Her voice was very calm, without the fear that ordinary people often have when they see the Shu family, and it seems that they have no idea what the Shu family represents.

Shu Jiaoyan, who was used to being respected and feared by others, was not used to Zi Ran's attitude for a while, but this attitude made her a lot more comfortable. She never showed it, but she really didn't like other people's attitude towards her. With those gazes on her body, a smile from the bottom of her heart appeared on her face.

Seeing this smile, Zi Ran was a little dazed. In her previous life, she had been by Shu Jiaoyan's side for many years, but she had hardly seen such a smile, and the few times she had had nothing to do with her.

The car parked at the back door of Shu's house, everything was so familiar to Zi Ran, she could almost walk with her eyes closed.But now she let Shu Jiaoyan hold her, and walked around to a courtyard, which belonged to Shu Jiaoyan.

Everything is the same as in her impression, but she is no longer the original her.

In the previous life, for some reason, the imperial court suddenly condemned the Shu family and sent troops to surround the Shu residence, causing the whole residence to cry and howl.Zi Ran protects Shu Jiaoyan, trying to let her escape.At that time, Shu Jiaoyan smiled at her, warm and bright.It was that smile that made Zi Ran feel that she would die without complaint whether it was Daoshan or Huohai, because she was always with Shu Jiaoyan at any time, and she didn't expect Shu Jiaoyan's love, as long as she was happy as she is now Satisfied.

In the end, they were blocked by some officers and soldiers. At that time, both of them had many injuries, and Zi Ran was ready to die.But she didn't expect that without any hesitation, Shu Jiaoyan pushed her to the edge of the swords of the officers and soldiers in front.Zi Ran didn't react until the sword pierced her chest and blood flowed all over the ground. She watched Shu Jiaoyan take advantage of this short gap to get away without even looking back at her.

Now Shu Jiaoyan's small favors and benefits can't erase Zi Ran's resentment towards Shu Jiaoyan.Zi Ran spent all her life loving Shu Jiaoyan, and she can also use all her strength to hate her now.

Shu Jiaoyan knew nothing about Zi Ran's thoughts, she just saved the child on a whim.She likes this child's temperament, if Zi Ran can be made loyal to her, it will definitely be a great help to her in the future.

Shu Jiaoyan put her on the bed in the wing room, and called the doctor to look at her for her, and left after making sure that there was nothing serious.

Before leaving, Shu Jiaoyan touched Zi Ran's head and said softly, "Don't worry about anything, I'm here."

After Shu Jiaoyan left, Zi Ran snorted indifferently, but involuntarily put her hand on the place Shu Jiaoyan touched, to absorb the warmth she left behind.
