Chapter 301 It’s really hard on you
Before I knew it, it started snowing again.
I thought I would be free after taking the money and leaving the Ye family, but now I am back to the time before I returned to the Ye family.
Ye Qingran sat on the ground and let people passing by point at her.
Her hands and face were numb from the cold, but her mind was still in chaos, just like her future, with no end in sight.
She just sat on the ground until dark, and didn't stand up until the snow stopped.
A thin layer of snow had accumulated on her body, which shook off as she stood up.
The lanterns on the street were still on, and the warm candlelight stretched her shadow. She looked up at the flickering candlelight in the lanterns, imagining that she was warming a brazier in a warm house.
But before her body could warm up, the howling cold wind brought her back to reality.
She didn't know where she could go now, so she just walked forward, leaving the town and walking to the river.
The wind by the river was stronger than in the town. Ye Yunlian subconsciously pulled her cloak to try to block the wind, but it had no effect. She was still shivering in the cold wind.
There were no lights by the river, and in the darkness, she could hear the sound of the wind blowing the water. After hearing it for a long time, she felt like it was like a low voice, pulling her forward.
After stopping in place for about a moment, she began to move forward until she reached the water. The biting chill spread from bottom to top, and she paused slightly, but it did not stop her from continuing.
Slowly, the water reached her chest, and then she lost her balance and fell into the water.
The cold river water enveloped her, and her survival instinct caused her to struggle, but soon her whole body began to sink, and she gradually lost strength and lost consciousness.
Ye Yunlian could feel her consciousness drifting in mid-air, far and near, as if the connection would be lost at any time.
After an unknown amount of time, she began to dream, dreaming of many illusory things, and finally woke up in a warm place.
"Where is this?"
Ye Yunlian was lying on the bed at this time. The room was warm and there were exquisitely made snacks on the table.
There was nice-smelling incense burning next to the bed, a smell she had never smelled before.
The clothes on his body have been changed into new ones, and his original clothes have been washed and neatly folded on the bedside, but I don't know who made them.
Before she could think clearly, someone pushed the door open and came in.
"Hey, miss, are you awake? Drink the medicine first, and I'll go and notify the queen right now."
The girl who came in was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl. From what she said, she seemed to be an ordinary maid.
It's just that this maid's dress is even better than that of the ordinary people outside. I don't know who her master is.
She put the medicine on the stool beside the bed and said with a smile: "Girl, you must remember to drink it while it's hot. The medicine will lose its potency when it's cold."
"Who is your queen?"
Ye Yunlian took the medicine bowl and drank it in no hurry.
The maid replied: "It's Concubine Xian. The concubine has specifically told her that she is our concubine's sister, so we should take good care of her! If the concubine knows that the girl is awake, she will be very happy."
After she finished speaking, she quickly left the room, probably to report to Concubine Xian.
Ye Yunlian was a little surprised. Isn't this Concubine Xian her cousin? It was Concubine Xian who saved him, so could he be in the palace now?
She stared at the medicine in the medicine bowl, hesitated, and drank it.
After all, he has died once. Even if he dies again, what does it mean?
However, after she drank the medicine, her body felt a little warm and she felt much better.
Soon, footsteps came from outside again. When the door was opened again, Concubine Xian walked in from the outside. She had a smile on her face and looked very approachable.
When they were children, Concubine Xian, Ye Qingran and Ye Yunlian often got together to laugh and have fun. Although they always had their own thoughts, at least they had a good relationship on the surface.
It's just that Concubine Xian was jealous of Ye Qingran who entered the palace to become the queen, while Ye Yunlian was jealous that both of them could enter the palace and enjoy the glory and wealth. She was the only one who stayed at home and waited for her parents to arrange the marriage. She still feels it's unfair to this day.
"Sister Lian'er, you finally woke up. You have been sleeping for two days, which makes me very worried."
Her voice was pleasant and her tone was soft, which made Ye Yunlian feel at odds with the cousin in her mind.
"Ye... I've met Concubine Xian."
Ye Yunlian still stood up and saluted obediently. After all, this was in the palace, and there were still rules to follow. She didn't want to be beaten to death with a stick.
Concubine Xian stepped forward to help her up: "No need to be polite, you haven't recovered yet, so rest first. I also asked someone to bring some supplements, oh, by the way, there are also some foods that you loved to eat in the past. , I don’t know if you still like it now.”
Seeing these things and the very intimate Concubine Xian, Ye Yunlian felt as if she was from another world, and couldn't help but ask: "Why do you want to save me?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? You are my sister, how could I not save you even if you die?"
As if she was afraid that she would not understand, Concubine Xian continued to explain, "The servants I sent from Gong Caimai happened to pass by the river and saw you falling into the water, so they rescued you. Fortunately, otherwise your life would have been in danger. "
After hearing her words, Ye Yunlian felt grateful and moved in her heart.
"Thanks……"
"It's okay. Although we haven't seen each other for a long time, the relationship between sisters is still there. I won't ignore you. You can live here with peace of mind these days. If you need anything, just tell these palace ladies and they will prepare it for you."
Concubine Xian held her hand and said, "Lian'er, how did you fall into the water? What were you doing by the river at night?"
When asked about this, Ye Yunlian lowered her head and felt aggrieved: "I...I was bullied and all my money was robbed. Now I am penniless. Sooner or later I will freeze to death and starve to death outside. I would rather die in such a helter-skelter manner." , it’s better to just die.”
As she spoke, her nose became sore and she cried, "Anyway, this is how it is in my life. My parents favor my sister, and my brother always favors her. I am like an outsider at home. Even my former husband was just Beating me, scolding me, lying to me...what's the point of living for a person like me?"
Concubine Xian covered her mouth with a handkerchief and was very surprised: "How could this happen? I remember, sister, you have always been the most favored in the family. How could you be robbed of your favor by that Ye Qingran?"
Her words touched Ye Yunlian's heart, and Ye Yunlian gritted her teeth and replied: "It's all because of that bitch Ye Qingran. She has been trying every means to exclude me, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am today."
Concubine Xian seemed to be very satisfied with her reaction. She nodded and agreed, "It is indeed her. It's really hard on you, sister."
