"If I can wake up today, nothing serious will happen. If I can't wake up, I'll prepare for the funeral." Chu Xi was woken up by this vague voice.
Chu Xi didn't feel very well right now. Her throat was burning with pain, and her eyelids were as heavy as a big rock. She didn't know who was speaking.
"Thank you very much, doctor. I won't owe you too much for the fee." A man's voice came into Chu Xi's ears. She felt that this man's voice was really nice, like mellow red wine.
Before Chu Xi could continue to recall the man's voice, a sharp pain in her head made her fall asleep again.
When Chu Xi woke up, she only felt bitter in her mouth. "You're awake." The man's voice that Chu Xi liked rang in her ears.
Chu Xi tilted her head and saw a man standing in front of her. He had sword-shaped brows, deep-set features, and a tall figure. However, his knitted brows contained a hint of arrogance, and his eyes were as deep as a deep lake. He did not hide his emotions at all, indifferent and cold.
Chu Xi's head was still hurting. The memory fragments of the original owner in her mind were like a movie, showing her the life of the original owner.
Chu Xi complained in her heart. To sum it up, the original owner was a selfish and useless idiot, and now she was replacing him.
The original owner not only felt dirty and tired, but also wanted to steal the child's food when he was extremely hungry. He also stole the last bit of money that the Xiao family had hidden to please the official they sent, just in order to exchange for a relatively comfortable accommodation qualification.
Because of this little amount of money, the officials who escorted them thought that the Xiao family still had money. They were extremely harsh on the Xiao family. It was common to beat and scold them, just to squeeze out the so-called money. It could be said that it was all thanks to the original owner.
What's more, the original owner had perfectly described the word "cripple". Xiao Yihan, who was handsome and well-bred, didn't like it. He even tried to seduce the officer of the Courier Station with his beauty to keep her.
The original owner didn't want to think that she was a sinner who was exiled by the imperial edict. She was destined to be tied with the Xiao family in this life. Even if she was a little beautiful, how could an official dare to touch her?
The original owner had been trying to escape the reality of being exiled to the Eastern Region. After several failures, she had given full play to the despicable nature of human nature. She had arrogantly commanded the Xiao family and treated them as her slaves. She had to eat and wear. The Xiao family spoke a few words, and her tears fell faster than anyone else. What she said implied that she had been implicated by the Xiao family, and the Xiao family owed her.
Not to mention Xiao Yihan, who was standing in front of her, even Chu Xi herself disliked "her" and was not thrown out of the wilderness. It was already the kindness of the Xiao family.
"I don't have much strength right now. Can you pour me a bowl of water? Thank you." Chu Xi's voice was as unpleasant as a broken gong.
Xiao Yihan knitted his brows even more tightly. He had learned a lot about this woman's tricks. The sun was shining in the west today? How could she say thank you? But seeing that she had just recovered from a serious illness, he reluctantly poured some water for her to drink.
"From now on, if you behave yourself, there will be a meal for you in this family. If you choose to do as usual, I'm afraid the Xiao family won't be able to keep you." Xiao Yihan's voice was as flat as a straight line, but he had already hidden his emotions in a few words.
