Being a reborn legitimate daughter is not easy

003 Back to the Past

003 Back to the Past

Her consciousness suddenly sank, and Ye Pianran first felt a chill run through her body, followed by intense pain on her face. She groaned and tried to open her heavy eyelids.

Someone spoke anxiously beside her: "Why hasn't Doctor Xu arrived yet? Ling Shu, hurry and urge him again! Miss's wound can't wait!"

"Yes, Sister Lingyi!"

Lingyi? Lingshu?

Ye Pianran jolted awake, her vision clearing instantly. She quickly sat up and looked in the direction the sound came from. Before her was a familiar scene: various pieces of furniture carved with exquisite orchids, fluttering purple gauze curtains, and a sandalwood zither stand exuding a faint fragrance… All of these told her that this was her boudoir in the Marquis's mansion!

"Miss, you're awake!"

Hearing the noise, the little maid in green standing by the door immediately ran towards her. Who else could she be but the deceased Lingyi? But... why does she look so young?

"Lingyi... Ah!" Ye Pianran was about to speak when a sharp pain suddenly struck her face. A warm liquid slid down her face, and Ye Pianran touched her cheek with trembling hands. Her face turned deathly pale in an instant.

"Miss, please don't move! Your wound is bleeding again!" Lingyi's eyes reddened with anxiety, and she quickly grabbed her restless hand.

Ye Pianran's gaze fell on Lingyi's hand. The hand that Lingyi held was no longer calloused from the rough work, and had returned to its former delicate and soft appearance. There was also a small red mole that had inexplicably appeared on the tiger's mouth.

Connecting the intense pain emanating from her face, an extremely absurd thought suddenly flashed through Ye Pianran's mind.

Has she returned to five years ago, to the time when her face was disfigured when she was sixteen?

As if to confirm her own thoughts, Ye Pianran asked in a trembling voice, "Ling...Lingyi, what's wrong with me?"

"Miss, you've forgotten?" Lingyi was surprised, but recalling how she was injured, she was filled with hatred. "When Miss was playing with the young master in the back garden, the fierce cat that Miss Bijun kept suddenly jumped out. Miss tripped and fell while protecting the young master, and her face was injured by the pebbles on the ground!"

At this point, fearing that Ye Pianran would be upset, Lingyi quickly comforted her, "Miss, don't worry, I've already asked Lingyi to fetch the doctor from the manor. This injury will definitely heal!"

Yes, six years ago, she was also playing in the back garden with her mentally challenged younger brother when she was tripped and fell by Ye Bijun's cat. She never expected that she would be reborn and still be unable to escape this disfigurement.

"What about Kang'er? How is Kang'er?" Holding Lingyi's hand tightly, Ye Pianran's eyes reddened with emotion. "And Mother, where is she?"

Fortunately, my mother and younger brother were still alive at this time, and my maternal grandfather's family had not suffered the calamity of being wiped out. Everything was still in time!

Lingyi's expression suddenly changed, and she stammered, "Madam...Madam, she..."

A sudden pang of anxiety gripped Ye Pianran, and she called out, "Mother, what's wrong?"

"When Madam heard that Miss had injured her face, she was so anxious that she fainted and hasn't woken up yet," Lingyi said, choking back tears.

Ye Pianran panicked and, supporting Lingyi, tried to get out of bed: "I'm going to see Mother!"

Suddenly, a commotion arose outside, accompanied by the shrill cries of a child. Recognizing the voice as her younger brother's, Ye Pianran's expression immediately changed.

At this moment, Ling Shu ran back in a panic, crying out, "Something terrible has happened! Concubine Song has broken into Lanxin Courtyard and grabbed the young master, intending to beat him!"

Ye Pianran rushed out of the house and saw her mentally challenged younger brother, Ye Yankang, crying loudly as Song Yiniang's maid, Qingshui, held him in her arms and beat him. His trousers were half-down, revealing his tender buttocks, which had several clear handprints on them.

"You ill-mannered brat, give him a good beating!" Aunt Song stood to the side with her hands on her hips, cursing sarcastically.

Ye Bijun, the culprit who let the cat escape and caused her to fall, also stood aside and added fuel to the fire: "Really, idiots are a menace. Auntie didn't even bother to send someone to keep an eye on them properly."

"What a blatant distortion of the truth!" Ye Pianran was furious. She rushed forward, grabbed Qing Shui's wrist tightly, and shouted sharply, "Stop!"
