After the tragic death of the daughter of the emperor, she returned to her former marriage and refus

"How come she's become a completely different person! She's actually starting to take charge of the courtyard's affairs! She's even threatening us! Damn it!!"

"The voice is cold too! But you can tell it's her!"

"Do you think she's lost her mind? Isn't she usually easy to fool? One day she wanted to take a bath, and I delayed preparing it for her for three incense sticks. I didn't hear her say anything. I just saw her grinning foolishly at the gifts the eldest prince gave her. Or she would pester the eldest prince outside the palace all day long, rarely staying in the courtyard."

"What do you think? Did the eldest prince finally confess to her that he likes our Miss Shuyao and not her anymore?"

"What's the point of saying it? She's still clinging to me. I think she's gone crazy. She'll be fine after today!"

"That's better. I really miss the free days when the young lady was not in the courtyard!"

"By the way, don't you find that the young lady has become much prettier?"

"She's pretty, but not as pretty as me!"

"Bah! Shameless!"

"Maybe we saw it wrong just now. Let's take a closer look later."

"Well, I just glanced at her for a few seconds, so I really didn't see it clearly." Xiao Hong added hot bath water to the tub one by one, saying, "The young lady is so abnormal, should we talk to the aunt?"

Xiaolu thought for a moment and said, "No rush, let's wait and see for a few days."

"Then go find the housekeeper and clean up the yard first. I'm afraid our young lady will go crazy and kill us."

"What are you afraid of? The two of us can't beat her alone, not to mention our indentures are with my aunt."

"That's true, but our young lady has a special status. If she really makes a fuss, we won't be able to escape punishment. It's better to just perfunctorily do what she has arranged for us."

"Okay, I'll go find the butler now."

In the main house of Meilin Courtyard, Yan Yunshu was staring at herself in the mirror in a daze. The girl in the mirror had long hair like a waterfall, eyes as clear as autumn water, a beautiful nose, eyebrows as dark as distant ink, and skin as white as snow.

She smiled at herself in the mirror, and the corners of the girl's mouth in the mirror were raised like a crescent moon.

It’s really... beautiful.

But she used to hate herself for being like this.

Because they all said that the eldest prince liked her heavy makeup and disliked her light and elegant style. Heavy makeup showed off her personality, while light and elegant style was like bland boiled water, which disgusted him.

So she loved herself with heavy makeup and could not accept the plain and elegant look in front of her.

After waking up from love, I realized that the current self, the original self, is the best. I didn’t deliberately change myself to please others.

There will never be a good ending.

She lightly frowned and took off the jeweled hairpins in her hair one by one. Her waterfall-like hair fell down, and her beautiful face was hidden in her hair.

Like a captivating elf in the dark night, charming and beautiful.

Little Green and Little Red were stunned when they stepped into the room.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiaohong finally broke the silence, "Girl, the water is ready."

Yan Yunshu stood up and walked slowly to the cubicle.

He said in a deep voice, "Undress."

After saying that, he turned around.

The snow that had just stopped started falling again. Yun Shu leaned against the edge of the bathtub and looked at the snowflakes dancing in the sky through the window. The water was of suitable temperature and was sprinkled with rose petals. She was completely immersed in the scent of roses.

Although there was still a piercing pain in my scalp and palms, my whole body and mind felt much more relaxed.

Speaking of these wounds, the one on the palm of her hand was caused on purpose so that she could show it to Xu Jinghuai, and the one on her scalp was an accident. Well, let Xu Jinghuai see them all.

Act more pitiful and make him agree to form an alliance with you.

The water is warm.

But in a moment, beads of sweat seeped out of her clear and transparent face. The sweat slid down her face and dripped onto the water surface, making her peerless face even more beautiful.

In this way, she could truly say goodbye to her former self.

There was no trace of her previous makeup on her face anymore. After getting out of the bathtub, she put on a soft and comfortable nightgown and slowly walked to the dressing table.

Xiaohong's voice came from outside the door, "Miss! The master has sent the butler to urge us!"

Yan Yunshu paused with the comb she had just picked up, stopped in mid-air, and then continued to comb her hair carefully.

"Miss! Miss! The master said you should come over right away!"

"I know!" Yun Shu replied coldly, continuing to comb her hair slowly.

"Miss! Do you need a servant to come in and dress you up?"

"Need not."

Yan Yunshu exhaled deeply and carefully applied medicine to the wound on the top of her head and the wound on the palm of her hand. Then she gently lifted the hair between her ears and made it into a simple bun.

The rest of her hair fell naturally and smoothly like seaweed. Her long hair was not overly decorated, with only a simple and elegant ribbon. The ribbon hung lightly, wrapped around her long hair like colorful clouds, just like flowing moonlight, delicate and soft, like a dream.

Then she picked up a paintbrush and paused between her eyebrows.

Her hands unexpectedly became uncontrollable and she began to draw thick eyebrows as before. When she had already drawn several heavy strokes with the eyebrow pencil, she woke up as if from a dream, her pupils dilated, and she was terrified.

Quickly put down the eyebrow pencil.

I didn't expect that the habit I had formed over the years would be so terrible.

It actually made her lose her mind just now.

She began to feel uneasy and irritated. She had never felt so uneasy before. She didn't want to see Xu Jingye again, and she didn't want to get entangled with Yan Shuyao anymore.

But she knew that she couldn't just escape from these two people. Her escape didn't mean they would let her go. Both of them had something they had to get from her. She had no way to avoid them and no way out.

She looked at the finger-thick eyebrow pencil in the mirror, picked up a handkerchief, wiped it off carefully, then picked up the eyebrow pencil again, wanting to add a light layer. When the tip of the pencil touched her eyebrows, her hands began to tremble.

She quickly put down the pen. At this time, a thin layer of sweat had already appeared on her forehead.

She no longer focused on drawing her eyebrows, but picked up the lipstick paper and gently licked it. Just a little bit of vermilion made her originally simple and beautiful face even more charming and passionate.

Outside the door, the butler was shouting.

"Miss Yunshu! The master wants you to come right here, right now! The master said that if you haven't come here within half an incense stick, he will keep you in solitary confinement!"

Yan Yunshu stood up, her face as cold as ice. She looked out the window with a serious expression. The housekeeper was still shouting anxiously, as if he was going to break into the room if she didn't come out.

There was chaos in the Meilin Courtyard, with people shouting and screaming one after another, all coming in waves to "invite" Yan Yunshu.

Yan Yunshu, however, took her time and cleaned up everything at her own pace.

She slowly walked to the closet and opened it.

He glanced at the clothes in front of him, threw them all on the ground and stepped on them.

They were all cheap dresses and brocade robes sent by Aunt Zhu or Yan Shuyao. They were colorful and gaudy, and extremely tacky, no different from the way the girls in the brothel dressed.

then.

She found a plain dress and a plain brocade robe from a dusty corner.

After getting herself ready, she glanced at the silver fox cloak hanging on the hanger, thought about it, and put it on.

He wrapped himself tightly and pushed the door open to go out.
