Chapter 12
Even if he was tortured in Zhao's residence and his whole body was covered with scars, it couldn't compare to this kind of pain...

She suppressed the loss and sadness in her eyes, and looked down at the bluestone slab on the ground.

Even if she had to start her life again, she no longer felt joyful.

When I was feeling sad, I saw a person walking towards me in vain.

Chu Jiaoli raised her eyes and saw Hua Yuejin with a gloomy face.

She took a step back slowly, bowed her head, and said, "Second Miss Hua."

"Chu Jiaoli, shouldn't you be in Zhao's mansion? Why would you appear beside His Highness wearing a maid's clothes?" Hua Yuejin frowned displeasedly, gritted her teeth and said unkindly.

Chu Jiaoli paused for a moment, her identity should not be worthy of Hua Yuejin's attention right now, it is even impossible to know her at this time.

But Hua Yuejin even knew about the trivial matter of her being sold by the Chu family to the Zhao family, this is not right.

Chu Jiaoli pursed her lips lightly, and replied calmly: "The servant did almost enter the Zhao residence today, and was rescued by His Highness on the way. His Highness saw the pity of the servant, so he accepted the servant as a maid."

"Hmph." Hua Yuejin snorted coldly, and said, "You shouldn't be here, you should be sold into the Zhao Mansion, reduced to a ruined flower, and lived in inferiority and fear all your life! You ruined my good deeds ! I could have prevented you from meeting!"

Chu Jiaoli's pupils constricted, her heart skipped a beat, she couldn't help being shocked, this Hua Yuejin was not simple, she seemed to know something.

Could it be she too!

Chu Jiaoli swallowed her saliva, her palms were sweating a little under the tense nerves, but she still pretended to be calm and said: "Miss Hua Er may have misunderstood, the servant is only a grassroots bandit, and she has absolutely no respect for His Highness." If you think too much, you will definitely not block the way of Second Miss Hua, you are too worried."

"I'm worrying too much?!" Hua Yuejin's voice raised a little, she reached out and grabbed her chin, staring fiercely into her eyes and said, "Don't think that I don't know what dirty tricks you used to seduce His Highness back then. Yes! You vixen, if I don’t raise my guard against you, will I be killed by you again?!”

Sure enough... Chu Jiaoli's guess was right, no wonder she looked at her wrongly at the banquet.

Not only her, but Hua Yuejin who died on the same day as her was also reborn!

And judging from what she just said, she seemed to be reborn a little earlier than herself.

Chu Jiaoli could only pretend to be calm, showing an innocent look, and said with a little fear: "I don't know what Miss Hua Er is talking about, I really don't know what is making you unhappy, please let me go ..."

Hua Yuejin sneered, and a murderous intent flashed in her eyes: "Let you go? Only a fool will stumble twice in the same place."

Before Chu Jiaoli could answer, she heard a soft voice behind her.

"Second Miss Hua, what are you doing? Why do you have to make things difficult for a little maid?"

The sound fell, and a red dress appeared in the sight of the two of them.

Sun Wanwan grasped Chu Jiaoli's wrist, pulled her behind her, frowned and looked at Hua Yuejin unkindly.

From the perspective of outsiders, this looks very much like Sun Wanwan who sees injustice and draws his sword to help, but it's not that Chu Jiaoli doesn't know this woman, she will help herself, how can the purpose be pure?
She bowed her head silently, listening to the argument of these two stupid women.

Hua Yuejin looked at the girl in front of her. Although Sun Wanwan was charming, she had never even entered the harem, and Beigong Tengxiao had never glanced at her from the beginning to the end. None of the threats.

After thinking about it, Hua Yuejin's eyes became contemptuous. She crossed her arms and looked at her and said, "What? Who will be your turn to judge when this lady teaches me a lesson? It's ridiculous."

Hearing this, Sun Wanwan raised her hand to cover her lips, she couldn't help laughing a few times, her tone was full of bitter and sarcastic sarcasm: "Ridiculous? Who is it like a clown who made a lot of jokes at such an important banquet?"

"You!" Hua Yuejin was trembling with anger after being stabbed, and raised her hand to slap Sun Wanwan on the face.

The maid beside Sun Wanwan quickly pulled Sun Wanwan aside, and said to Hua Yuejin, "Second Miss Hua, please respect yourself."

Hua Yuejin was caught in the air, her eyes immediately sullen, and she was about to yell, but Sun Wanwan raised her voice and said: "Hua Yuejin, you are so disrespectful in the palace, making things difficult for His Highness's maid! You are disrespectful to His Highness! If you don't leave again, I will ask daddy to tell His Highness about this matter, and I will write a memorial for your daddy!"

Hearing this, Hua Yuejin immediately fell silent, shifted her staring eyes to Chu Jiaoli's face, and said through gritted teeth, "Let's wait and see!"

Then he snorted heavily, then flung his sleeves and left.

Seeing Hua Yuejin walking away, Sun Wanwan held Chu Jiaoli's hand affectionately, with a very friendly smile, and said softly, "It's okay, she doesn't dare to trouble you."

The wound on the back of Chu Jiaoli's hand was touched by a strong hand, and she immediately gritted her teeth in pain.

And Sun Wanwan also quickly felt that something was wrong with the touch on the back of her hand, and after looking carefully, she was so frightened that she immediately let go of her hand.

"Sorry, I didn't know you had an injury on the back of your hand."

Sun Wanwan frowned slightly, the disgust in her eyes was not because she was afraid of her pain that she let go.

A flash of anger flashed in Chu Jiaoli's eyes, she lowered her head and said, "It's okay, Ms. Sun doesn't need to blame herself. I just thanked Ms. Sun for saving the siege. This servant is very grateful."

Sun Wanwan covered her mouth and laughed, then walked to her side and took her arm, and said softly, "Look at what you said, I knew your face the first time I saw you, and I felt very kind, like someone who had been separated for many years. Like sisters, you and I don't need to see each other."

It was very kind, the scarred hand she held just now had once slapped her hard on the face.

Chu Jiaoli smiled faintly, and said, "Thank you, Miss Sun, for your love."

Hearing this, Sun Wanwan slightly raised the corners of her lips, and said to the maid behind her, "Bring it."

"Yes." The maid behind Sun Wanwan took out a wooden box from her sleeve and handed it to her.

Sun Wanwan handed the wooden box to Chu Jiaoli, and said with a smile, "It's the first time we meet, a small gift for my sister."

Chu Jiaoli watched as she slowly opened the wooden box, and inside was a beautiful jade hairpin.

Although it is not rare in her eyes, it is already a sky-high price for a court lady.

Chu Jiaoli lowered her head and said, "Miss Sun, this is too precious, I dare not accept it."

Hearing this, Sun Wanwan pouted, and said in a half-joking tone: "Sister, are you going to have an affair with me?"

Chu Jiaoli bit her lips lightly, before she could get annoyed, she calmed down, and immediately replied: "Miss Sun misunderstood, this is not what this servant meant."

When the words fell, Sun Wanwan took her hand and put the wooden box in her hand, not caring about the injury on her hand at all.
