Chapter 785: The days she used to live
“That’s right, people who don’t know her will think that she is the mistress of this mansion when she’s only a mountain village girl. What’s so great about that?”
“I’ve heard that she is not the daughter of Houye at all. Houye’s real daughter lives with madam right now. Not only she looks pretty, but she’s much prettier than the second miss.”
“Really? Where did you hear that?”
“From Si Fu. Si Fu is always with Houye. He has seen the real eldest miss a long time ago. Unfortunately, the eldest miss doesn’t want to come here. Her relationship with Houye is not good.”
These people spoke with loud voices. They seem wanted to anger Bai Zhenzhu so they made their voices louder. Those words enter Bai Zhenzhu’s one by one, which forced her to cover her ears and ran away.
Bai Zhenzhu ran too fast. The snow on the road just melted, so when her foot slid on the road, she fell into the ditch draining. hole.
The muddy ditch was under the snow was biting cold. And the mud on that stick on her face had an inexplainable smell… …
She struggled to climb out of the mud with difficulty. Her shoes were filled with cold water, which made her foot painful in cold.
When she returned to Lan Courtyard, the sky was completely dark. She didn’t know where the flint was or even know how to light the delicate oil lamp.
In the darkroom, she looked for the box where her clothes were originally stored. It was originally full of clothes, but now there were only a few pieces left.
She didn’t care which one looks beautiful, she wore them all on her body. The only quilt in the room was left by her outside. The surroundings were dark, so she didn’t dare to go out and look for it.
She just stayed up all night cold and hungry in the corner of the bed.
This kind of suffering, she had never experienced it even in Huangtuo Village before.
When she was in Huangtuo Village, her mother always gave her the thickest quilt. She said that her daughter was most afraid of the cold, so she naturally had to cover her with a thicker quilt.
When making cotton-padded clothes, her mother stuffed most of the cotton into her jacket. She said that whether it looks good or not was just secondary. It was the warmth that was the most important.
When eating, even if she overslept or missed a meal, her mother would always leave her a portion. If it was in winter, she will warm her food first before giving it to her. She said that her daughter should eat less cold food because it was bad for her health.
When it was time to work, she will always say that she and her father will do the work. She should just rest at home. Getting dark skin was not too good.
When she thought of her parents, tears kept falling from her cheeks. And the more she thought about it, the more she felt sad.
Suddenly, she raised her sleeves and wiped the tears from her face, “I don’t regret it, I will never regret it! Huangtuo Village is not for me, this is my home, I belong to this place.”
Early the next morning, Bai Zhenzhu hurried out after simply freshening up.
Si Fu heard the news and immediately reported: “Houye, as you expected, the eldest miss went out alone.”
Pei Qinghan nodded his head: “Stare at her, see who will she meets. No matter who she meets, take them altogether.”
Si Fu retreated.

In Cui Jewelry Store
As soon as the building opened in the morning, two guests came in to look at the jewelry. They didn’t buy any jewelry. They just walked back and forth inside and looked around. They also craned their necks outside from time to time. They seemed to be waiting for someone and not to buy things at all.
The clerk was annoyed, so he approached the shopkeeper: “These two have been here for several days in a row now. They come here every morning and leave at noon. Then they will come again in the afternoon and leave until the evening. I really don’t know what are they here for.”
