"Everything aside, how were we looking after death? We must be looking half burned pigs after that explosion right? Yang Xumei asked with a eww on her face.
Hearing her question, Gu Yanyan again started to cry remembering her horrendous look after being burned.
"So bad so bad. Xumei, I was looking so bad. This side of my face was fully burned... aaah" Gu Yanyan cried dramatically showing her one side of beautiful face which was burned in her dream.
"Oh my poor miss." Yang Xumei coaxed Gu Yanyan and cradle her face in her warm and smooth palm.
And then they both laughed as if they were not just crying over their death.
After facing so much troubles in their first world and travelling to this world and everything what they saw and experienced over the years, now it seemed even if they died now and again reincarnated in another world they won't be that surprised or worried as any normal human being.
You can just say...
We see such things, since we were young..
"Enough of this, any new report from north?" Gu Yanyan asked and Yang Xumei also become serious.
Hearing Gu Yanyan talking about serious matters, Yang Xumei clapped her hands and those maids who had left them previously to give them some privacy, entered the room again.
"Tell miss what Ah San told you." Yang Xumei looked at one of the maid, Yang Jingli.
Yang Xumei and Yang Jingli were cousin by blood and were sold to Gu Residence since they were kids. They were initially bought to be servants under Madam Lin and were to be groomed to take care of the future miss born by Madam Lin so when Madam Lin become pregnant and the famous daoist from the Wutai mountain predicted that the child Madam Lin was carrying would be a girl, Madam Lin personal invited a nanny to teach them, how to be a good head maid for their miss.
But the night Gu Yanyan borned, Yang Xumei transmigrated into real Yang Xumei's little and petite body and together with her cousin she became Gu Yanyan's maid.
Later because of how diligent and efficient she was, Yang Xumei was towards Gu Yanyan, she was appointment as her head maid and Yang Jingli became Yang Xumei's assistant.
In normal circumstances, the story should have been that Yang Jingli became jealous of Yang Xumei, thinking that they both were from the same family and they were both slaves bought to serve their miss so why could Yang Xumei become superior to her and got to order her, Yang Jingli around?
But in this story, because Yang Xumei got the wisdom and knowledge from her modern world and knew how to take care of her juniors emotionl damage, Yang Jingli had to concede her defeat from the beginning and she never got the chance to feel jealous because she always felt Yang Xumei was way better than her and was worthy of her position.
Yang Jingli came forward and greeted Gu Yanyan, while Gu Yanyan just waved her hand lazily in response.
While other maids giggled silently at how their miss was showing her lazy style early in the morning, Yang Jingli reported what Ah San had told her.
"Miss, Ah San said, the time we were waiting had arrived. Our dark lotus had already infiltrated marquis Ningxi's camp and had already started collecting the evidence in past three years but without any success. But this time we may have chance. If we increase our power a little more, we'll definitively have chance to uncover the deal between marquis Ningxi and that commander of northern barbarians in the winter battle last year." Yang Jingli repeated the words of Ah San.
"And what about the evidence of marquis Ningxi's betrayal to his superior The Great Marquis Zhiwu that took his life? The evidence between Marquis Ningxi and northern barbarians which took master Lin and 200,000 brave soldiers' lives? What about that. When they will uncover that evil dog's evil deeds?" Gu Yanyan asked in a dark and evil voice while her eyes oozed with darkness.
Remembering the first scene she saw when she opened her eyes in this world where 'her' mother was kneeling with her weak and bloody body after just giving birth, in front of lowly nanny and begging her to spare her daughter's life.
Seeing how she cried and begged for nanny to let her child live after all no matter what, she was still a Gu family blood, Gu Tianhao's blood and flesh and if he ever got to know that his new born child was killed, he won't let the killer off.
Oh! How confidently she had said those words, believing, no matter how cruel a tiger would be, it won't eat it's own cubs. She forgot, human's were not tigers and a man who was blind by ambition was even more animal than any carnivore animal and yes, he could eat his own flesh and drink it's blood just to achieve his goal and ambitions.
Her all hope and confidence died when she heard nanny say, "Madam, it was second master's order to not let you both survive this night, lest you both hinder his relationship with the New Marquis Ningxi, concubine Yun's family."
After hearing this Madam Lin froze at her place and even forgot to cry.
Her ears rang with only one sentence, 'it was second master's order to not let you both survive this night'.
Finally she reacted and grabbed nanny's hand and said with a very seriousness.
"You can kill me but let my daughter live."
"But Madam-" Nanny Jin who was ordered to silence both Mother and daughter duo had a look of hesitation and wanted to refuse Madam Lin's request right away but Madam Lin shook her hand furiously and interrupted her.
"Listen to me... Listen to me.. you.. you can kill me now but let my daughter survive this night. When Gu Tianhao will return tomorrow morning, just tell him what I'm going to tell you now."
