After treating the girl's, Lu Lou's, injuries, Su Lou decided to explore her new environment and after her inspection, Su Lou really wanted to cry again.
Everything is rotten! There's no proper equipment inside the courtyard! From her huge Victorian room to this depilated courtyard, and only having one maid in hand, Su Lou really feels like it will take an awful a lot of time before she gets use to her new situation.
On another note, when the pain on her body finally lessened to the point that she can completely ignore it and she explored her new room, she accidentally saw her face on a bronze mirror and Su Lou screamed in fright when she saw an unfamiliar face reflecting back at her. Lo Lou, the little maid arrived instantly to ask what happened but Su Lou ignored her, focusing on studying the face in front of the mirror.
After a thorough investigation, Su Lou concluded that, yes, that's really her on the mirror and not some kind of ghost that's hunting her. The eyes is still the same, the nose and mouth is still the same, the shape of her face is still the same but… it doesn't show the face that Su Lou is accustomed with. After a few more minutes of staring, Su Lou found out that… it's still her face, only more average looking, not unlike her previous face which millions of women is envious of. She also checked her body for her birthmarks and moles just to make sure that they're still at their respective places to cement the fact that she's still Su Lou. Only when she solved her identity crisis did Su Lou finally calmed down, shooting a reassuring smile to the worried Lo Lou by her side. And besides, Su Lou have a feeling that it will not be the last crisis she'll face. With the most problematic mystery being why she grew up in this Su family. She checked the other Su Lou's memories, she doesn't look like Su Zian and her concubine mother, and she really did grew up in this place from infantry.
How did she arrived in this Su Manor and got taken in as their Fourth Miss?
"Miss, Third Miss and Fifth Miss are taking a stroll in the garden. The two did not bring any maids and I do not know what they are discussing." Su Lou was brought out of her thoughts when Lo Lou entered while carrying a small box.
"Third Miss? Isn't that the person who…" slapped me, Su Lou didn't continue, too caught up watching in horror as Lo Lou revealed the content of the box and started placing the on the table. A plate of rotting vegetable leaves, a bowl of molding dried tofu, and two bowls of rice. Su Lou's stomach flipped and the sudden urge to vomit rose. Gently pushing away the chopstick with questionable origin and forcible calming down her stomach, Su Lou left the room to get some fresh air.
Staring at the clear blue sky filled with fluffy white clouds, Su Lou finally remembered who the Third Miss and Fifth Miss is. Other than being the two girls that tormented her, the Third Miss was someone called Su Wan who, like Su Lou, was born from a mistress but her mouth was sweet and she usually used it to fawn over Su Xi.
Su Xi, also known as the Fifth Miss was born from the first wife so her status was higher. Her innate talent had also astonished many at a young age; she was the darling of the entire Su Family.
Thinking about Su Xi treatment in this family, Su Lou thought about how her parents and everyone in the mansion treat her and the feeling of loss and longing completely filled her being.
Before she can feel even more homesick, voices, familiar voices reached her ears. Su Lou blink in surprise, now noticing that she's no longer in her depilated courtyard but in fact manage to reach a clean and beautiful hallway. Hearing the familiar voices again, Su Lou ignore her current lost status and decided to follow the voices till she can finally hear what they are saying clearly.
"Fifth Younger Sister, I heard that the damned girl woke up again?" Su Lou ducked behind a fake rock before the two girls can see her. By the brief glimpse she manage to get, its definitely Su Wan and Su Xi and it looks like they are once again talking about her. Su Lou frowned, she doesn't want to see these two barbarian girls at the moment. The torment she suffered in their hands is still fresh in her mind and right now, her thought is full of unsavory things and cruel revenge. She knew that having this kind of mindset is not healthy and she wanted to clear her mind first before she thought of how to teach this girls a lesson.
Su Lou knew that she can be very cruel, that she is capable of scheming terrible things for this two girls, but her morals, her ethics will never let her go through it. She will be eaten by guilt if she does.
Deciding to leave the girls, Su Lou turned to leave but their next words completely stopped her in her tracks, bringing back the feeling of rage, disgust and anger.
"Her life is so cheap but when poisoned, she wasn't poisoned to death and when beaten, she wasn't beaten to death. How hateful!"
"Then what do we do? Doesn't it mean that the marriage is still…?" The other voices, Su Wan, asked again.
Su Xi fiercely fisted: "don't you worry. I'll definitely kill her next time!"
Su Lou continued listening, her eyes glinting in a fierce light. Her aura completely change, as if a different person. A cruel smirk appeared on her lips, couple by the murderous intent in her eyes completely change the usually soft expression of Su Lou into something… demonic. Whoever will see the expression on her face right now will definitely have a fright.
At the moment, the two girls are currently walking along the Lotus Pond, unaware of the cold eyes watching them. Su Xi walked along the inside while Su Wan walked on the outer side.
Su Lou changed her hiding place to a more suitable one to execute her plan. Managing to reach a parasol tree without being seen by anyone with skills that certainly doesn't belong to a pampered young miss from a rich household, she started her plan.
Picking up a small pebble by her feet that will accomplish the result she desired, she lightly threw the small rock, watching it tumble perfectly near Su Wan's foot. The girl is facing forward so why would she take into account what was underneath her foot? She took a step and her balance immediately became unstable as she swayed in Su Xi's direction.
When one was about to fall, they would inevitably activate their instinct of grabbing anything near them that they could possibly hold on to, and Su Wan was fortunate enough to firmly grasp at Su Xi's sleeve.
But how could Su Lou let them foil her plans. Besides, all they need is a little 'push.'
With a wicked smirk, she nimbly move towards the two is currently busy regaining their balance to pay attention to their surroundings. Giving a kick towards Su Wan's backside, Su Lou watch in demented glee as Su Wan once again firmly grabbed Su Xi's dress and together, they flew towards the canal with a bang and heavily fell in while looking like drowned rats.
Ignoring the two shouting girls in the pond, Su Lou started phase 2 of her plan which is, gather the audience to watch the show!
Staring at the dead branches by the parasol tree, Su Lou grinned in excitement.
While Su Xi is ordering Su Wan to get some clothes for her, the trees suddenly ignited in flames.
Distant cries sounded out: "Fire… The trees are on fire… Quickly, we must extinguish the fire…"
Su Wan and Su Xi panicked, once again arguing. Su Lou returned to her original hiding place on the fake rock, waiting to watch the great show.
'Heh. That's what you get for plotting against me! I, Su Lou, may not have the ability to take revenge now but collecting a little bit of interest was no problem at all!'
'Even if my innate talent was zero, I could still break through and a piece of the sky would one day be mine!'
'And besides, who told them to stubbornly offend me who should never be offended? I, Su Lou, who had experience ten or so years of the devil's… devil's… what?'
Su Lou jolted, as if awaken by a very lucid dream. The cold and cruel light from her eyes disappeared, replace by confusion. Soon the memories of what she did a few minutes ago surfaced on her mind and watched in fascination as the feats that she, a pampered young miss, definitely is not able to achieve placed her tormentors in their current situation.
Once the wonder recede, the feelings of guilt and shame assaulted her. Even though she already said that she'll wait till she make her move, she still goes and lost her cool and acted anyways. She have more self-discipline than that!
Su Lou decided to leave before people arrived in the Lotus Pond and found out that this is her doing. Giving one last looks at the flustered girls at the pond and holding in the urge to laugh out loud, Su Lou left. Beside, Su Lou doesn't feel that guilty.
A sharp glint appeared on her eyes, her mouth unconsciously hooking up giving off a dangerous feeling.
They deserved it.
...Hmm... didn't they also mentioned something about a marriage? Its probably nothing important.
