The girl gently held Xia Qin's hand and said, "Sister, I heard from Wei Wu that you fell into the water. I'm glad you're okay."

This seemed to be "her" half-sister. Xia Qin didn't like to interact with strangers. When she saw the woman approaching, she pretended to cough, broke free her hand and covered her mouth with her sleeve.

"Qi'er, the eldest lady might have caught a cold, so stay away from her!" The Second Madam said sarcastically, not hiding her disdain for Xia Qin at all.

After that, the Second Madam stared at Xia Qin and asked, "Yan'er, I heard from Wei Wu that you fell into the water? Do you remember how you fell into the water?"

Test?

"Flowers, Yan'er wants to pick flowers..." Xia Qin stared at the air in front of her and said in a deliberately foolish manner.

The second lady narrowed her eyes and looked at Xia Qin with a cold smile. Without saying anything else, she led everyone out of the room.

After everyone left, Xia Qin turned back to the inner room and lay down, continuing to "digest" the memories of this body.

"She" is the daughter of Mu Lie, the general of the cavalry of the Great Xia Kingdom. Her name is Mu Jinyan. Her mother has passed away long ago.

"She" is still a fool. Her memory before the age of ten is blank, and only some fragments of memory after the age of ten remain.

But why is she regarded as a thorn in the eyes of others even though she is in this state?

Her current memory couldn't piece together a reason.

In a side room in the corner of the Mu Mansion, the Second Madam looked unhappy: "What's going on? You can't even do this?!"

"Madam, the canyon is more than 20 meters high, and the water is fast and deep. Who knows if she can survive? I think this fool is not normal today." Wei Wu explained with his head down.

The second lady's words were full of disgust: "Nonsense! When has she ever been in her right mind?! Keep an eye on her!"

As one of the top special forces soldiers, Xia Qin has his own pride and stubbornness.

My fragile body now is so weak that it won’t work whether I want to protect myself or return to the modern world!

Soon, according to the memories of the previous life, Xia Qin made a daily training list for herself, and with her strong willpower, she made this fragile body strong as soon as possible.

After that, she would start exercising every night after Xiaolian and the others fell asleep.

In the early morning, before the servants got up, he began to lie lazily in bed again, playing the role of a fool.

Although life was depressing, it was generally peaceful. However, such days lasted for less than a month before bad news came from the court.

In the Great Xia Kingdom, in the fifth year of Yongjia, on the fifth day of the fifth month, the day was the day of Sui Po, and everything was unfavorable.

In the court, because General Mu Lie performed passively in the war with the Yuelan Kingdom, Emperor Gao Zhanyang stripped him of his military power and ordered him to return to the capital immediately to report.

Xu Haoran, the son of Grand Marshal Qin Huiqi and the younger brother of the favorite concubine Qi Guifei, was appointed as the new commander of the Western Route Daxia Army, and was given the title of General Zhenxi to continue the campaign against the Yuelan Kingdom.

A new emperor appoints new ministers. As a loyal minister of the previous emperor, Mu Lie had a very high prestige in the army, so it is not surprising that he is being suppressed now.

Xia Qin didn't react much to this matter. Her memory of this "father" was still fragmented. Her only thought now was to make herself stronger.

But the second wife's reaction was very intense.

"This damn fool! We can't wait any longer. I'm afraid there will be no chance after the master comes back this time," the second wife said with a ferocious look on her face. "Today! I don't want to see her face for even a moment!"

Wei Wu, who was bending over beside him, smiled sinisterly and said, "Madam, this poisoned dagger has been prepared for a long time."

But he hesitated again and said, "But if we do it in the mansion..."

The Second Madam snorted coldly, "What are you afraid of? Then we can say that she accidentally fell into the lotus pond and drowned. The master will punish her because Meng De and Xiao Lian failed to take good care of her!"

"I understand! Kill her and throw her into the pond," Wei Wu rolled his eyes and said hesitantly, "Meng Bo and Xiao Lian have been guarding her recently..."

The Second Madam frowned and glanced at Wei Wu, impatiently saying, "I will gather all the servants to the front hall tonight. Please be quick. There won't be any accidents this time, right?"

"Madam, rest assured!"

At night, the entire Mu Mansion was as quiet as a cemetery. Wei Wu tiptoed to Xia Qin's boudoir and looked at Xia Qin who was in a daze.

"Flowers, flowers..." Xia Qin murmured to herself while holding the lotus flowers picked for her by Xiaolian.

Wei Wu breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that he was frightened badly last time. It would be too easy to kill a fool like her. He walked closer quietly.

Just as Wei Wu approached her, Xia Qin suddenly turned her head to look at him. The strange and sharp look frightened Wei Wu.

Before he could come to his senses, Xia Qin had already kicked him hard in the wrist with his right foot.

"Ah! Ding!" Wei Wu's hand felt pain and the dagger fell to the ground.

The sound was not loud, but it was very harsh in the Mu Mansion tonight.

Wei Wu looked at Xia Qin in horror.

Xia Qin calmly picked up the rather exquisite black dagger, which was similar in shape to the saber he usually used. He thought to himself, I will keep it for self-defense.

Wei Wu looked at the strange young lady in front of him. Although he was nervous, he had no choice at this moment. He decided to go all out and pounced on Xia Qin with a ferocious face.

However, Xia Qin dodged it easily by just turning his body slightly, and then with a flash of cold light, the short sword in his hand accurately swept across Wei Wu's left arm.

"what!"

When Wei Wu saw the wound on his arm left by the dagger, he ran away desperately without caring about anything.

idiot.

Xia Qin looked at his embarrassed figure with disdain. These people were not only bad, but also dishonest.

"You useless thing! Not only can you not do the simplest things, but you also learn to talk nonsense?!"

"Madam, it's unfair! Everything I said was true. Fortunately, the poison was detoxified in time, otherwise I would be dead now!" Wei Wu thought of Xia Qin's cruel eyes at that time, and cold sweat broke out all over his body.

"Enough!" The second wife had obviously lost her patience.

Wei Wu looked innocent and could only change the subject: "Madam, the anniversary of the death of the eldest lady is coming soon, and the master may not be able to make it back in time."

The word "Madam" was the one she hated to hear the most. Just as the "Second Madam" was about to scold Wei Wu, a thought flashed through her mind and her face became full of viciousness.

Early the next morning, the second wife called the old housekeeper, Xiaolian, Lu Liu, and Wu Qi to the front hall.

She said in a hypocritical manner, "Sister Gu's death anniversary is coming soon. I'm afraid the master won't be able to make it. Xiaolian, you take the eldest daughter to Sister Gu's grave to pay respects."

Hearing what the Second Madam said, the old housekeeper immediately reminded: "Second Madam, the eldest lady was frightened a few days ago, so it is not appropriate for her to travel far."

Xiaolian also echoed: "Yes, Madam, there are still ten days..."

The Second Madam glared at Xiaolian, her words filled with impatience and threats: "So what if ten days? The place where my sister is buried is remote and the roads are inconvenient. The master can't come back, so can't we just hold a memorial ceremony?!"

Although the Second Madam was scolding Xiaolian, these words were meant for the old butler to hear. Upon hearing these words, the old butler immediately lowered his head and remained silent.

Although he had been in the Mu Mansion for more than 30 years and was deeply trusted by Mu Lie, he was just a servant after all. Now that the master was away, he could not disobey the Second Madam's orders.

Xiaolian naturally didn't dare to talk back.

"That's it! Xiaowu accidentally fell down and injured his arm yesterday. This time Luliu and Wuqi will accompany the eldest lady."

Hearing that she was suddenly asked to worship her "mother", Xia Qin knew that the Second Madam was probably up to something again. However, since she was so depressed in the mansion, it might be a good idea to take advantage of the situation and escape from the Mu Mansion.

Before leaving, the old housekeeper solemnly instructed the two servants: "You must take good care of the young lady. No more mistakes can be made. The master will be back soon. If anything goes wrong, you know the consequences!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Meng! We will definitely keep the young lady safe!"

As they spoke, the carriage headed south, heading for Tingfeng Valley, a hundred miles away.

In the fifth year of Yongjia, on May 15th, it is the day of God's punishment. It is suitable for offering sacrifices but not for traveling, as the snake evil spirit will come from the south.

The carriage was bumpy all the way, and Xia Qin's stomach began to churn less than twenty miles away from the capital.

Soon, her face became paler and paler, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Lu Liu and Wu Qi, who were sitting in front of the carriage, were chatting without any scruples.

"Sixth brother, I'm not the one who talks about the master behind his back, but why would the eldest lady bury herself alone in such a far place? Doesn't she need to go to the ancestral hall?"

"I heard that this Tingfeng Valley is where the master and the first lady met. When the master married the second lady, the first lady asked to be buried here, saying that it was a quiet and beautiful place."

Xiaolian in the car saw that Xia Qin's face was not right, so she took out an exquisite little box from her bag.

"Miss, here are the sour plum pills prepared by Miss Two. Putting one in your mouth can relieve the discomfort." Then, she shouted loudly outside the car, "Lu Liu, slow down, Miss is not feeling well!"

However, the two men paid no attention and the carriage continued to speed forward in the bumpy ride.

Xia Qin looked at the sour plum pills in Xiaolian's hand, took out one and placed it in her palm. After watching Xiaolian put one in her mouth, she put it in her mouth with confidence.

This thing is really useful. Not long after taking it, Xia Qin felt her churning stomach gradually calm down. This second young lady is quite considerate.

However, in less than half a moment, Xiaolian's body suddenly lost its support without any warning, and she slid down the seat to the ground, completely losing consciousness.
