She also dreamed of a phoenix undergoing nirvana. Its entire body was covered in flame-like feathers, and its cries were pleasing to the ears. She saw it undergo nirvana and undergo rebirth, turning into a baby the size of a palm. It gently pecked at her palm, and suddenly turned into a ball of fire, disappearing from her hand.
Ye Zhen seemed to hear the phoenix telling her that it would be her protector in the future.
All of this was just a dream. When she woke up, she heard someone talking beside her.
"Father, mother, Yao Yao … What happened to Yao Yao?"
"Do I have to ask you this? Yao Yao has obviously improved. Why did she suddenly faint?" Lu Shiming glared at his son.
Although Yaoyao was their adopted daughter, she had grown up in the palm of their hands. Although she was a little unruly, she was still innocent and lively. With her by their side, their days were filled with joy. Now, they saw that their adopted daughter had become so thin in just half a month that she looked like she was no longer breathing.
Lu Xiangzhi didn't know how Ye Zhen fainted. He only told Lu Shiming what he had just said to Ye Zhen. Before he finished, Lu Shiming had already kicked him in the buttocks. "You don't have a lock on your mouth. You say everything in front of your sister. When did your sister ever hear about beheading? You …"
Pei Shi saw her husband's curses getting louder and louder. She could not help but whisper, "Stop arguing."
Lu Shiming and his son immediately quieted down. They looked at Ye Zhen with the same worry. Looking at the little girl who was originally as beautiful as a pearl and as beautiful as a jade, they felt their hearts clench.
"Yao Yao's pulse is much calmer than it was in the morning, but she is still too weak. She needs to recuperate carefully." Pei Shi breathed a sigh of relief and said to the maid next to her, "First, change the girl's clothes."
When Lu Shiming heard that his adopted daughter was fine, he was relieved. Carrying his son by the nape of his neck, he walked out of the room, leaving his wife to take care of his daughter.
Under Pei Shi's careful care, Ye Zhen was able to get out of bed after half a month.
After this period of recuperation, she became more clear-headed and calm. She had reincarnated into her younger sister's body, and even the time had been delayed by two years. This was a fate she could not change, but God had given her a chance.
Ye Zhen stood on the steps of the courtyard, looking at the carved beams and painted rafters of the mansion. She looked down at the palm of her right hand, which only appeared after she fainted that day. In her palm, there was a flame-like gorgeous phoenix that seemed to spread its wings and fly. The image of the phoenix was lifelike. Ye Zhen recognized at a glance that the shape of the phoenix was very similar to that of the jade pendant. However, the jade pendant was in the shape of the phoenix's neck, while in her palm, there was only the phoenix bird, not the phoenix bird.
The phoenix that had been reborn from nirvana in her dream, could it be true?
She didn't know if she was crazy, but a drop of red water actually appeared on the phoenix's eye in her palm.
Ye Zhen was stunned. She went back to the room and asked the maid to fetch water to wash her hands. The drop of red water fell into the clear water and instantly lost its color. The water in the basin was no different.
"Third Miss, are you all right?" The little maid who served Ye Zhen saw her staring at her hand and couldn't help but ask worriedly. She thought that the third miss who came back from the border town was really strange. Since she recovered from her illness, she always hid in this courtyard, unwilling to go anywhere, and didn't like to talk. She didn't look like a little girl at all.
Ye Zhen came back to her senses, clenched her hands, and smiled faintly. "It's all right, remove the water."
The little maid responded and walked out of the room with the basin of water. Seeing that the flowers and plants in the courtyard were showing signs of withering, she poured the basin of water over them.
In the room, Ye Zhen opened her hands again and looked at the lifelike phoenix. She remembered that she was trapped in the palace for two years, and finally broke the jade pendant given to her by Mo Rongzhan to escape. Before her soul flew away, the burning heat from her palm was probably caused by the jade pendant.
Now, she wasn't worried about anything else. What she was most worried about was her appearance.
In fact, her younger sister was not very similar to her. She was a delicate girl who was raised in a boudoir since childhood. Her skin was as white as jade. Her younger sister grew up in the border town and had no restrictions since childhood. Her skin was slightly darker than hers, but her eyebrows and eyes were still very similar. However, because of a serious illness, her face was dark and thin. Probably no one would think that she was similar to the former Princess of Qin.
This was good. She didn't want anyone to know about her relationship with the Ye family.
The enemy was in the light while she was in the dark, so it was convenient for her to act. In the past half a month, she did want to take revenge, but now she was just an orphan girl living under someone else's roof. Lu Lingzhi and his younger sister had already enjoyed a high position and wealth because of the merit of helping them become the emperor. How could she take revenge?
She just wanted to see these bitches who harmed her family and stepped on her to have a miserable end. With her current strength, she was afraid that she couldn't do anything.
The person she hated the most was the most powerful person in the world. How could she avenge him?
"Yao Yao." Lu Xiangzhi's voice came from outside the door.
Ye Zhen woke up from her hatred and looked at herself in the mirror with a bright and cheerful smile. She was not Ye Zhen who was reborn with resentment, nor was she the delicate girl of the Ye family, Ye Yaoyao. She was Lu Shiming's adopted daughter, the third daughter of the Lu family.
She was Lu Yaoyao, so she wanted to smile and live like her.
Ye Zhen took the initiative to greet him. "Big brother, why are you here?"
"In the future, you can't call me big brother in this house. Call me fourth brother. There are three brothers in front of me." Lu Xiangzhi looked at his sister, who had recovered, and his heart was full of love. He raised his hand and rubbed her head. "Today, big brother was made an assistant minister of the Ministry of War. Grandmother is going to hold a family banquet to celebrate. Mother asked me to pick you up."
Lu Lingzhi! A touch of hatred flashed in Ye Zhen's eyes. At the same time, she was also a little self-deprecating. After her rebirth, she actually lived in the house of her enemy and called him 'Big Brother' hypocritically. She had been in the Lu family for more than half a month, but she had never seen Lu Lingzhi.
"Big brother, I'm afraid that my illness will spread to everyone. I'd better not go." Ye Zhen lowered her head, showing a little timidity.
Lu Xiangzhi said distressingly, "How are you still sick? Don't talk nonsense. Don't think too much. You are the third daughter of the Lu family. How can you not attend the family banquet?"
Only then did Ye Zhen smile. "Okay."
"Look at how thin you are. You have to take good care of your body in the future, or you will become like a black monkey." Lu Xiangzhi habitually teased his sister.
