When Zhu Wuxin woke up again dizzily, she understood one thing. The maidservant who went to call for the doctor, has slipped away.
This Miss being as her, has too much suffering. At first, she thought the tight slap would wake the maidservant up. Who knows, that servant actually ignored her completely. Her stomach is now growling.
Zhu Wuxin had no choice, she can only gather some energy to push herself up and went out to look for food. Her head was heavy as the head of an iron hammer. Her body feels hot, then cold the next moment, and it was unbearable. Other than that, in this Court that she is currently living, her room is located in farthest corner.
When she gripped the pillars at the hallway, and the window sills for support, looking at her hands full of dust, she really doubts if there is really anyone living here. Fortunately, heaven didn't make it more difficult for her. After seven or eight turns and detours, she finally found the kitchen. Looking around the kitchen for half of the day, she found nothing with the exception of a few hardened steamed buns.
Deep in the night, there's only the sound of the cicadas echoing in the quiet mansion. The cold wind blew, caused her to shiver. Taking the steamed buns with her, Wuxin pulled herself smaller into the deepest corner of the kitchen. If people don't care about her, then just let it be. But even when it's meal time, nobody came to call her. Zhu Wuxin finally understood why the owner of the body was this skinny.
This kind of ghost place is simply not meant to be lived in. The ancient version of Cinderella also didn't have this. The steamed bun in her mouth was so hard, it even knocked her teeth. Zhu Wuxin suddenly felt the urge to cry. What kind of sin has she ever committed to having the heaven torturing her like this? Suddenly, a loud roar was heard from the door.
"Who is it? Come out immediately! If not, this old woman will chop you!"
"You have the courage to come to the Zhu House to steal things!"
Zhu Wuxin was startled by this sudden voice, caused the steamed bun to roll down to the floor. A bit heartbroken, she picked up the bun, patted the dust off it and promptly stood up.
"It's me, Zhu Wuxin. Don't get so worked up."
"Why, Fourth Miss is here!"
The kitchen's old lady put away the kitchen knife in her hand to stick on the chopping board. At the same time, she grabbed the steamed bun from Zhu Wuxin's hand and threw it out.
"Miss, the bun cannot be eaten anymore."
Zhu Wuxin stared at the food that she managed to find with great difficulty, now gone. She wanted to chase after it but the kitchen lady pulled her back. Her eyes looked a little bit misty, "Miss, please wait for a moment. I will cook for you right away."
Zhu Wuxin nodded a bit, she simply doesn't have any strength left to move. Now, she can only trust the kitchen lady's word that she will cook food for her. The kitchen lady while cooking, said "Miss, if there's a chance, leave this Zhu House quickly."
Dizzily, Wuxin replied with an "Okay".
"Wuxin, why are you here?"
A clear male voice suddenly rang out.
Lifting her eyelids, Zhu Wuxin tried to see who just came. In front of her are rays of brilliant yellow light.
