She Holds the World After Being Reborn-Chapter 333 - 332: It’s just so similar

She held a tray of clothes in her hand and stepped forward to show them to Yan Lingzhen, "Miss, would it be alright to wear this set to bed tonight?"

Yan Lingzhen glanced at them, they were decent enough, though they couldn’t compare to the ones her elder sister had prepared for her, but they were still much better than the coarse clothes she was wearing.

So she hummed indifferently.

One must acclimate to the circumstances.

Yan Lingzhen always dealt with situations with composure.

Wang Suying, seeing those clothes, clenched her fists in jealousy.

"What about mine?"

"Yours?" The maidservant looked at her puzzled, "You, a mere maid, also dare to ask for these clothes?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Suying’s face turned red, "Who told you I was a maid?"

"Otherwise, are you the miss?" The maidservant scoffed coldly, examining Wang Suying from head to toe, "Since you’ve come here, you must abide by the rules. Don’t let the words ’I’ and ’you’ slip out of your mouth so freely, lest you invite trouble."

Having said that, she put down the clothes and then turned around, taking several maids with her, showing no intention of staying to serve.

Wang Suying bit her lip and with a stomp, headed to the room next door.

The room grew quiet, and Yan Lingzhen struggled to rise from the bed.

Just as well, she didn’t like having others around when she bathed.

Inside the ear chamber, she laboriously took off the clothes that had stuck to her skin, reopening wounds that had begun to scab over, causing fresh blood to flow fiercely.

In the mirror, she saw that there wasn’t a single good spot on her entire body.

In some places, the flesh was turned inside out, even showing signs of rot. Yan Lingzhen, undisturbed and enduring the pain, dabbed water with a clean piece of cloth, cleaning all the bloodstains from her body.

By the time she was done, a basin of clear bathwater had turned a shocking shade of red, and the once white cloth was now stained a red that couldn’t be washed out.

Then she carefully sprinkled the medicine from the plate onto her wounds, and the moment the powder met the wounds, she wept from the excruciating pain.

When she had finished applying medicine all over her body, the bathwater was already chilled through.

Only then did she slowly dress and leave the ear chamber. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

She pushed the door open.

Two burly maidservants turned to look at her, "Miss, do you need anything?"

Yan Lingzhen was mentally prepared to be heavily guarded. Now weak, she spoke, "I’m injured and need to see a doctor."

When the maidservants saw her exposed wrist, bright red and fresh blood staining the clean cuff, they were startled.

"Please wait, Miss. This servant will ask the Young Master for instructions."

Yan Lingzhen licked her cracked lips, "Thank you."

Throughout, she remained calm and polite, showing no signs of causing a fuss, which relieved the maidservants.

The women usually brought here were all making a fuss, as if they were facing life or death. But this one, so young, managed to stay impressively calm under both praise and criticism.

"Also, please bring a jug of hot water." Having stated her request, Yan Lingzhen then lay back on the bed.

She had sustained serious injuries and if she didn’t take medicinal pills internally and seek medical treatment externally, she probably wouldn’t survive a week, likely succumbing to infection from her wounds.

She didn’t want to die.

She didn’t want to die in such a confused and unnoticed manner here.

Her head burning with fever, Yan Lingzhen soon fell into a deep sleep.

When the maidservant came to bring the hot water, she found Yan Lingzhen breaking out in cold sweat, a sight that frightened her considerably.

Meanwhile, Wang Suying next door had already bathed, gone to bed, and was sound asleep, oblivious to everything like a dead pig, showing no reaction at all.

"The miss needs to be well cared for with these injuries. Here’s the prescription, take it to fetch the medicine, and decoct it three times a day for consumption." After writing the prescription and handing it to the maidservant, the doctor then reached out to feel Yan Lingzhen’s pulse.

Yan Lingzhen was deliriously feverish, but she still managed to muster some strength, her fingers twitching and scratching the palm of the doctor’s hand.

The elderly doctor’s eyes flashed with a keen light as he tucked Yan Lingzhen’s hand back under the covers.

"From now on, she will need your careful attention." He picked up his medicine chest and staggered towards the door. The symbols on the medicine chest were clearly the same as the ones Yan Lingzhen had drawn on the charred wood that night.

Yan Lingzhen couldn’t help but have tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Miss, why are you crying? Does it hurt too much?" The maid, following Chen Di’s orders, was to take good care of the delicate young lady.

Yan Lingzhen curved her lips into a broad smile.

She was crying from happiness.

This was a doctor from Tongren Hall, and he had recognized her.

She believed it wouldn’t be long before her sister appeared to rescue her!

Yan Lingzhen’s tears flowed more abundantly as she thought of her happiness.

She missed her sister so much...

As soon as the doctor left the City Lord Residence, he mounted his carriage.

In the carriage, Yan Wanqing’s beautiful face was as cold as frost, "How is the situation?"

"The hall master is covered in wounds. I’ve administered powerful medicinal pills to her, and with the aid of a medicinal broth, she should recover soon, but..."

"But what?" Yan Wanqing asked.

The elderly doctor sighed, "I fear that those wounds on the hall master will leave scars."

For a girl, having scars is a painful matter, especially so many of them.

Upon hearing this, Yan Wanqing clenched her fists and hammered the small tea table in the carriage, which broke into several pieces with a snap.

The loud noise made the elderly doctor shiver.

"Has Li San been caught?" she asked Hong Wu.

With a guilty look, Hong Wu lowered her head, "Not yet, Li San is still in the city, he won’t move so quickly."

"Be careful that he doesn’t slip past in disguise. The City Lord Residence has been throwing lavish banquets these past few days, with many guests coming from the north and the south. It’s a perfect cover for him to slip through," Yan Wanqing cautioned.

"I will bear it in mind," Hong Wu immediately responded.

"Tomorrow, I will officially move into the City Lord Residence and insert our elite guards inside," Yan Wanqing said, her eyes narrowing like peach blossoms, her red lips uttering cold words, "I want them all to pay the price!"

...

The next morning dawned.

The rooster crowed at the break of day.

The Northern Border City was bustling with activity once more.

Chen Di got up early from his indulgent slumbers and walked towards Yan Lingzhen’s quarters.

He had heard that the beauty had awakened yesterday, but he was tied up and couldn’t come.

Moreover, he really did not like ill beauties, fearing he might catch a disease from them.

Today, when he heard from the maid first thing in the morning that Yan Lingzhen was able to get out of bed, walk around, and sit at the table to eat, he became interested and wanted to have a look.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he dismissed the maid’s notice.

He had given Yan Lingzhen permission to move around in the courtyard, so upon entering, he saw her standing under a row of bamboo, wearing only a thin white shirt that made her appear even more slender and pitiable.

Indeed, she was like a lonely and helpless little white flower.

Chen Di deliberately made a noise and walked inside.

Yan Lingzhen turned around to look.

"Who are you?" she asked warily.

Chen Di was unconcerned, his eyes filled with amazement, "The resemblance, it’s simply uncanny."

Those brows, those features, she bore at least a seventy percent resemblance to the Commandery Princess.

If she grows up, what then?

"Resemble whom?" Yan Lingzhen took two steps back.
