Due to that I have not been able to find time to translate. However, now that all of that is over but then I forgot to post this chapter so yeah……. Well, hope you enjoy this chapter~
Chapter 2 Discovered a New World
Don’t know how long she slept like this, Wu SheYue suddenly opens her eyes. From her chest area she feels a splitting pain that makes her softly shout. Immediately afterwards, cold sweat appear on her forehead turning into droplets of water sliding down from her forehead. She, with difficulty, presses her hand to her chest. Although the palm of her hand is a little numb, she is still able to feel the dampness at her chest area.
She wheezes while looking at her surrounding. This….had she not died?
In front of her eyes is an old wooden beam and at the top she can clearly see some broken cobwebs. Looks like she had been thrown by that man into some unknown desolate old house. But why did he….why didn't he allow her to die in the fire.
Wu SheYue uses one hand with strength cover her chest and the other, with difficulty, to prop up her body. Nearby is a wooden box, her body is very weak right now. She leans against the box, lowers her head to open her clothes to look at the wound. But when she looks at her clothes, she becomes confused.
This…….this is a costume? She hurriedly opens the collar of her clothes. The skin inside is smooth and soft nothing like her own. The place where her chest is in pain is also not bleeding, instead it is black and blue and has extravasated blood. Looking at it, probably someone had kicked her strongly resulting in this.
T/N: For anyone who is going to search up what extravasated blood looks like, I suggest you don’t unless you have a strong stomach. Instead, you can look at the manga for a picture of her .
After Wu SheYue is stunned she gathers up energy, she endures the pain and stiffly gets up and is then able to see clearly that she is wearing a worn-out white ancient costume. She looks at the wooden box next to her, which she realizes is actually a coffin!
She hurriedly looks at her own finger, after years of making props and makeup, she has never been able to paint her nails. But the fingers in front of her are slender, fair, have round edges, and in the crevice there are no pigment.
A thought that she herself does not believe but still thought of appears: This is not her body!
This body's limbs are stiff and incongruous, obviously lacking exercise. On the other hand, although her strength is not up to standards, it is better than the average person.
Wu SheYue quickly looks at her surrounding, this place is a simple and crude mourning hall with a single memorial tablet on top of a table——Yin QiuMing. Although the furnishing in the surrounding area is worn-out however, every object's detail and design give a sense of ancientness to it, like there are actually antiques.
Yin QiuMing – 尹秋茗. 尹 – her surname meaning rule, administrator. 秋 – autumn. 茗 – tea, tender tea leaves.
Wu SheYue quickly walk to the door, this dilapidated small courtyard has paper money floating about, appearing to give off a sense of loneliness and bizarreness. She hurriedly looks around for a mirror, wanting to see who she has turned into.
She is about to walk outside when the courtyard door is pushed open. A girl with a maid hairstyle walks in. The newcomer's face does not look good. Coming to the mourning hall yet still wearing a peach and pink colored clothing carrying a food box.
Seeing Wu SheYue, the 2 people stare blankly at each other.
Wu SheYue is thinking of what to say when the maid opens her mouth first. "Yo~ Third Miss is willing to wake up? Just in time, Chun Tao is sending the food over. Wake up and eat, after eating continue to sleep." This Chun Tao says this with the corner of her mouth raised to laugh as if afraid Wu SheYue is not able to see that she is sneering.
Chun Tao – 春桃. 春 – spring. 桃 – peach.
Third Miss? Wu SheYue immediately is curious about her identity. But…….this Third Miss's ending seems to be very bad? Even a maid is allowed to bully her?
Wu SheYue is trying to figure out the situation she is in but Chun Tao sees she is silent and just shakes her head while walking in. Her mouth has not stopped speaking. "He*~ keeping vigil by your own mother by still able to sleep like the dead, some people's hearts really are big.
*He: 呵. I just put the pinyin of the word. Basically, Chun Tao is laughing sarcastically.
"What did you say?" Wu SheYue finally opens her mouth to say coldly. The deceased Yin QiuMing is her, this Third Miss's mother?
Chun Tao had just put the food box on top of the coffin lid and stopped her motion of taking the lid off when she turns around to stare, impatiently saying "I say, are you annoying or not, all you know is keep vigil by the coffin, why can't you just obediently kneel? Don't tell you still want to think of a plan to go out and search for 8th prince. 8th prince himself said very clearly that he will not like an ugly person like you. Madam and Master have already said that you obedintly stay in the mourning hall and go out less lest you make a fool out of yourself. You creating this big mess making us servants life hard, can you not be a little kinder? Whatever, your mind is stupid anyway so you won't understand. It's still us servants who are very busy……."
Good, Chun Tao has finished scolding and Wu SheYue has also found the key point. The most important thing is this body was originally an idiot….Wu SheYue at this time is not able to say how her heart feels about this, she can only say that no wonder this Third Miss was taken care of this badly.
Although there was no relationship between her and this Third Miss, from today onwards, she is Third Miss. Right after waking up and was scolded by someone, she is not in a good mood.
At this time, Chun Tao does not gently place a plate of napa cabbage on top of the lid of the coffin causing most of the soup to spill. She also fishes out an ashen steamed bun and places it on the side. "Okay, eat."
After saying this, Chun Tao does not look at Wu SheYue again and turns around to leave.
"Now that a person has died, yet you still wear pink clothing here, isn't this disrespectful of you~" Wu SheYue's mood carries a faint sense of danger.
Chun Tao seems as if she had heard a great joke, "He*~ Who do you think you are? Prime Minister's Third Miss? Calling you Third Miss is already giving Master, not you, some face! Just someone born from a slut. Your mother died, do you think the whole world should be mourning with you? Sending you food is already taking care of you, you still dare to be picky."
Chun Tao doesn't want to waste anymore time, she gives a contemptuous look, preparing to steer clear of Wu SheYue. Wu SheYue raises an eyebrow, suddenly lifts her leg and kicks Chun Tao behind the knee. PUTONG Chun Tao without warning kneeled on the ground.
PUTONG – 噗通
"Ah-" That knee hits the ground with a DONG sound as if hitting gravel. Chun Tao feels extreme pain from her knees and tears come out.
DONG – 咚
Chun Tao just heard Wu SheYue * say "Didn’t you kneel the wrong way?"
*阴测测的 – don’t know how to phrase it. 阴 (yin) as in yin and yang in which yin is the negative, shady. If you guys have a way of phrasing it to fit in the sentence please do comment below. You guys can see this scene in the too.
