Rebirth of the scholarly lady

Chapter 1 Wedge's Absurd Past Life

After the seventh month of the lunar calendar, it still rained non-stop.

The drizzle was like a pinprick of rain.

Thick clouds covered the sky, and the sun did not shine directly down, but an unknown light source existed in the sky, making the outdoor light not dim at this time.

Weeds were overgrown in a large courtyard closest to the main house in Duke Wei's mansion. The originally planted flowers and plants were covered by vigorous weeds, and the grass leaves swayed by the rain, making it look very desolate and desolate.

A strong smell of medicine emanated from the inner room, even in such rainy weather, the smell could not be eliminated. Accompanied by this smell was a kind of faint dead air.

In the dark inner room, the smell of medicine was so strong that it was disgusting. The serving girls stood outside the door with some disgust. If there was nothing wrong, they would rather stand outside the door.

Nan Surou lay pale on the soft couch, weakly looking at the girl sitting beside her.

Yu Xincan, who was only eight years old, gently held Nan Surou's hand, comforting in a low voice: "Auntie, Can'er will be by your side."

Auntie... Hehe, Nan Surou showed a wry smile on her face. She is only ten years older than the child in front of her this year, but her seniority in this family is too high, so she was awarded at such a young age. With such a title, Yu Xincan is the eldest granddaughter of Nan Surou's eldest cousin, Nan Suyan.

"Why?" Nan Surou asked feebly, she was struggling to speak.

Yu Xincan looked at Nan Surou ignorantly, and replied obediently: "Because Mrs. Wei Guo said, after you pass away, I will inherit your will and continue to work hard for the glory of the family."

When the child said such words, the voice was intermittent. It was obvious that Mrs. Wei Guo had sent her to recite them. Reciting such emotionless recitation was similar to reciting poetry, and it was not from the heart at all.

Looking at her childish face and cute appearance, Nan Surou couldn't help feeling a burst of sadness in her heart. This child in front of her is just another tragedy, right?

Nan Surou recalled herself. When she was ten years old, her family was in ruins. She was sent to Wei Guogong's mansion by her father, and she was brought up by her little cousin Mrs. Wei Guo who was 20 years older than her. , but the big family is rich and powerful, but the right and wrong are the most. She gradually changed from being simple at the beginning to sinister and treacherous.

Over the years, Nan Surou has not hidden her edge, but she has never resisted the family's arrangements for her. She will try her best to complete whatever tasks the family arranges for her. In the end, she only gets the support of most people. Appreciation, without any real benefits, she has worked hard in Wei Guogong's mansion for eight years, but in the end she became sick from overwork, and is now terminally ill.

When she was about to die, everything from childhood to adulthood appeared in front of her eyes like a revolving lantern, recalling everything in the past eight years, Nan Surou suddenly felt that she was so stupid?She has been playing pawns for others all her life, and she still enjoys it without knowing what it means. In the end, when she is dying, only this eight-year-old cousin is willing to be by her side.

When Mrs. Wei Guo knew that she was hopeless and treated her extremely coldly, she realized that her eight years of struggle were all meaningless;

Only when her niece of the same age married her husband who made peace with her, did she know the real purpose of Mrs. Wei Guo's persuasion to make her divorce;
When she raised her family to the pinnacle of prosperity, but she herself died from overwork, she realized that she was just a stepping stone for others to reach a high position...

It has been nearly 20 years since I came to this world of mortals. It turns out that her existence and everything about her are just a joke. The so-called family and relatives are all a drama without warning. She is just a puppet who is self-righteous and manipulated by others. , no matter how cunning and talented she is in the eyes of outsiders, in the end, what happened to her is just a sigh of relief, and she gets nothing.

Nan Surou did not expect that when she was dying, she would be filled with resentment. She secretly swore in her heart that if there was an afterlife, she would get out of the chessboard and become the chess player, never to be manipulated by others... Even though leaving the family will encounter thorns all over the ground, she believes that she can also walk out of a bright future, let it be blown by wind and rain, she will be enchanting herself.

Based on such resentment, Nan Surou slowly closed her eyes, eyes were dark, and Yu Xincan's soft and childish voice gradually faded away.
