After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

The next two months will be busy, and these days are her last leisurely days.

Nian Susu moved a lounge chair under the big tree in the yard. The weather was neither cold nor hot, which was a perfect time for a nap.

She lay down, and the cool breeze blew over her, making her feel refreshed. She looked at the mottled sunlight above that was blocked by layers of leaves, and slowly closed her eyes.

Suddenly, a pungent smell of medicine came. Nian Susu wrinkled his nose and opened his eyes reluctantly.

Nian Qiaoyue came at some point and moved a small stool to sit next to her. Nian Susu was startled and almost fell off the recliner.

"I...when did you come?" She steadied her balance and sat up, moving back defensively, ready to be attacked at any time.

There was a small basket on Nian Qiaoyue's legs, with some embroidery needles and colored threads in the basket. In her hand was a big red square scarf with a large piece of embroidery on it. You could make out the outline of a dragon.

She had a smile on her face and her hands did not stop. The embroidery needle was moved with ease in her hand. The stitches of the pattern were extremely dense. Although there was only half a dragon, it looked lifelike.

This is probably the red veil that she mentioned that symbolizes "dragon and phoenix".

"Did you scare me?" she asked with a smile. "I was just too bored in the yard alone. You know, embroidering is boring, so I wanted to come and chat with you, but I didn't expect you were sleeping."

"I just... moved a stool over and sat for a while." Nian Qiaoyue looked at her cautiously, as if she had done something wrong.

With her attitude, Nian Susu couldn't scold her. Nian Qiaoyue didn't do anything wrong. She just scared him accidentally and apologized and explained. If she kept harping on it, it would seem too petty.

Nian Susu sighed, "You can sit down if you want. I need to sleep and I don't have time to chat with you."

Nian Qiaoyue nodded and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Go to sleep, sister. I just want someone to be with me. I will be quiet and not disturb your rest." Her attitude was sincere.

Nian Su Su didn't say anything else. He lay back down with his back to her, believing that she wouldn't dare to do anything to him.

The surroundings returned to calm. Nian Susu crossed his arms across his chest and no longer felt sleepy.

I fell asleep as soon as I lay down just now, and now my mind is full of messy thoughts.

Nian Qiaoyue behind her suddenly spoke up, "I remember when I was a child, Madam Nian also watched over my sister to sleep like this."

"In the spring, the sun was shining and the weather was fine. Under a big, cool tree, there was a small rocking chair. My sister was lying on it, and Madam Nian was rocking her gently... rocking her..."

"I could only lie at the door and watch secretly. I envied my sister but was also worried about being discovered. Madam Nian didn't allow me to come to the front yard. She said I was a cheap bone and would dirty her place."

Having said this, she smiled bitterly and fell silent.

Nian Susu had no recollection of what they had told her. After all, it had only been two years since she came here. Even if she had many memories from the past, she couldn't remember such details.

But she still felt very sympathetic towards Nian Qiao Yue.

Nian Qiaoyue was embroidering her veil, not knowing whether she was speaking to herself or Nian Susu, "When my child is born, I will treat him well and give him lots of love. I don't want him to be like me, born by a mother but without her to love him."

"How pitiful..." Her voice suddenly choked.

For some unknown reason, Nian Susu turned over and faced her with a look of pity in his eyes.

Nian Qiaoyue saw that she had her eyes open, and said in panic, "Sorry, sister, did I wake you up? I...I won't talk anymore, please don't chase me away, okay?"

She clutched her veil tightly, her knuckles turned white and her hands trembled.

"No." Nian Susu looked indifferent, but when Nian Qiaoyue's eyes dropped, she said, "I can't sleep. Tell me about your past."

It was almost an imperative tone, leaving no room for negotiation.

But Nian Susu's attitude towards Nian Qiaoyue really couldn't be good. She had done so many bad things and harmed so many people. How could she be forgiven easily?

Recently, Nian Susu has felt more sympathetic towards Nian Qiaoyue, but it is only because she knows that if she wants to stay in this world, she must kill Nian Qiaoyue. She has thought about doing this in her heart, so she not only sympathizes with Nian Qiaoyue, but also feels a little guilty.

Nian Qiaoyue stared at her in astonishment. She didn't expect her to make this request and she didn't react for a long time.

“Forget it.” Nian Susu’s face darkened and he was about to turn his back again.

"No." Nian Qiaoyue explained quickly, "It's not that I don't want to talk about it, I just haven't figured out where to start."

She forced a smile, "What do you want to hear, sister?"

Nian Susu pondered for a moment and blinked, "Whatever, you can say whatever you want to say, or you don't have to say it."

After saying that, she closed her eyes and turned her back.

Nian Qiaoyue felt that she was being fooled, but she was not angry. She picked up the embroidery needle and talked about her childhood experiences while embroidering.

Nian Qiaoyue had a very unfortunate childhood because Yang Yuerong targeted her and Nian Chengyun didn't like her, so she always lived with Mrs. Zhang in the big bunk bed in the servants' room.

Those people have no manners, they speak without restraint, and they can say anything nasty. Nian Qiaoyue grew up amidst a barrage of insults.

Some people even deliberately made things difficult for Yang Yuerong and bullied her in order to please her, depriving her of food, soaking her quilt in the winter, and beating her with sticks. This was considered good.

It's a blessing for Nian Qiaoyue to be alive and grow up this big.

Nian Susu felt very sympathetic towards her, but fell asleep while listening.

When he woke up, Nian Qiaoyue had gone. The sun was setting in the west, the sky was burning red, and the setting sun was like blood. Nian Susu sat up and watched in a daze. Suddenly, he felt a sense of loss and felt depressed.

West Wing.

Nian Qiaoyue held her waist with one hand and a bamboo basket with the other, and walked into the yard step by step, and found that the doctor was waiting for her.

"Doctor Li, have you been waiting for a long time?" Nian Qiaoyue quickened her pace and walked forward.

Doctor Li was a doctor she hired privately. As long as she paid enough money, he would not ask too many questions and would not say anything nonsense, which was just right for her current situation.

She led Doctor Li into the house.

Doctor Li, carrying a medicine box, walked with a shaky step, "No, I just arrived not long ago, and when I saw that the girl was not here, I waited a little longer."

The two entered the room, and Doctor Li took Nian Qiaoyue's pulse with ease.

Doctor Li's brows furrowed more and more, he sighed and shook his head. After observing for a while, he put the things back into the medicine box.

"Girl, the situation is not good. Your foundation is weak to begin with, so it's not suitable for you to move around. Although it's almost April now, you still need to keep warm."

Nian Qiaoyue's face was still calm. "Doctor, just tell me straight, how many months can I survive at most?"

Doctor Li looked embarrassed and hesitated as he gestured, "He can be saved for two months at most."
