Rebirth: Her Sorrow - Chapter 4
SHUFEN woke up with a massive headache and fever. She felt that someone touched her forehead, checking her temperature.
“Bao, How is Fen–Er?”
“Answering the First Miss. Second Miss temperature is slightly better now unlike earlier”
Shufen heard a sigh. She slowly open her eyes wanting to know what is happening. Blinking she saw her sister Yaling, holding a wet cloth.
“Fe–Fen-Er!!”
Shufen heard Yaling’s scream and she frown. Her head was in so much pain, It’s like someone is tearing it into half. She tried to get up but was stopped by Yaling.
“You have to rest!! Don’t get up. Hurry call a doctor!!!”
Shufen didn’t listen to Yaling and she sat. Staring at the eyes of her Sister.
She could see the worry in Yaling’s eyes. This was real. She is alive and came back with a body of a 11 year old Ning Shufen. She tried to think analyze all the things but her head is making it difficult to think.
“Ji–Jie”
She called Yaling. Feeling dizzy her eyes turned blurry until she couldn’t see. Yaling made Shufen lay down.
“She Fainted!!”
Yaling was panicking. She didn’t know what to do so Bao had to interrupt her.
“First Miss we had to wait for the doctor”
Bao’s words calmed Yaling a little. But her breathing was still heavy. Yaling could only hold Shufen’s hands. Yaling doesn’t want to cry but her tears are falling continuously.
Bao closed her Eyes and didn’t dare to stare at Yaling. Although the First Miss is kind, Bao is still a servant and she has no right to stare at her Master’s face. She wasn’t serving Ning Yaling but she is the Daughter of the General.
“First Miss. Doctor Mu has come!”
Yaling quickly stood straight, welcoming the Doctor.
“The First Daughter of Family Ning , Ning Yaling is welcoming the Great Doctor Mu”
Yaling bowed her head a little. The Doctor saw this and just nodded.
“Is that her?”
Doctor Mu glanced at Yaling before looking at Shufen’s unconscious body. Yaling nodded.
“She’s weak”
Yaling heard this but she did not talk back. Afraid the he will not see Shufen. Doctor Mu checked Shufen’s pulse and glanced at her face. Yaling was nervous, She kept biting her lower lip.
She didn’t know what was happening. Doctor Mu’s straight face was making her anxious. She couldn’t kept her calm and asked him.
“Is my sister alright?”
The Doctor stared at Yaling and looked at the whole room.
“Miss Ning Yaling. This conversation must be kept.”
Yaling nodded. She ordered her personal maid and Bao to guard and wait outside.
“I won’t sugarcoat my words. Her body is weak. She was poisoned when she was still 3 years old. It’s not because she was weak naturally. Someone wanted her to die. I believe that you know this?”
Yaling couldn’t answer. She couldn’t refute his words, Because she knows about the poison. She was in the middle of searching for the antidote.
“Yes, I know. The Antidote is too hard to find. And up until now I couldn’t find it”
The Doctor nodded his head.
“I can help you but….”
“But?”
Yaling knew that there is no free in this world. Yaling bravely stare at Doctor Mu’s face.
“There is a condition, Of course”
Doctor Mu hid his hands in his back. He straightened his back…..
“I want her. The Second Miss to be my personal Disciple” Wuxiaworld for visiting.
Yaling’s mouth opened a little. Her eyes wide open. Shocked. She didn’t know what to say.
“I—I must ask my Sister about this”
Yaling stuttered a little. She immediately calmed herself. She breathe out.
“This matter is not for me to decide, Doctor Mu”
Doctor Mu only nodded. He clearly understand why the First Miss said this.
“I’ll wait for the Answer.”
The man turned his body. Walking towards the door. He glanced at Shufen before saying goodbye at Yaling.
‘*Sigh* I hope she’ll accept or else I’ll be beheaded by that person’
Doctor Mu shuddered at the thought. He remembered the persons cold face, Sweat filled his forehead. He wanted to cry but lack tears. This is clearly bullying!!!! The strong bullied the weak!! But Doctor Mu can’t even complain about it.
Doctor Mu was curious why a powerful person wanted to protect a Girl who is clearly dying. He pity her, Who would want to kill a weak girl such as her.
‘Aishh. Nevermind. I must know why the Master has taken a liking to that girl.’
Doctor Mu walked to fast like someone was on his tail, following him.
NING YALING was waiting for Shufen to wake up. She thought that this is important, too important. Why would Doctor Mu came at their house personally. Yaling bit her lower lip. Who was Doctor Mu? He was the Former Imperial Doctor of the Wu Kingdom and the brother of the previous Emperor. He was known for his aloof attitude and his rude behavior. And nobody wanted to mess with him. Nobody wanted to die horribly.
Yaling held Shufen’s hand. Her Second Sister is the most important to her. Seconds later, Shufen slowly open her eyes smiling lightly at Yaling. Yaling immediately hugged her tight.
“You kept me worried”
Shufen’s smile was still there. She slowly caress Yaling’s face.
“I am sorry. Now, now stop crying. You’ll look ugly”
Shufen teased Yaling to the point that Yaling was glaring at her. Shufen was only laughing lightly. Ahh! She missed this. Yaling was so annoyed but she can’t do anything about it. She had no choice but call Bao and her Maid to come.
Shufen ate a bowl of soup and lay down again. Just when Yaling wanted to joke around she remembered Doctor Mu’s proposal. Yaling thought that if Shufen will agree the poison will be cured. Yaling wanted Shufen to live happily and she wanted to be part of it.
“Fen–Er.”
Shufen hummed.
“I had someone checked your pulse. I don’t want to keep this any longer. The poison was slowly eating you.” Yaling wanted to cry. She wanted to keep this until she die. But she gotta tell Shufen now.
“I know”
Shock was understatement to describe Yaling.
“Ho—How??!”
Shufen wanted to bury herself. Why did she said that. Alibi!! She needs an alibi! How could she say that she knows it because she was reborn?? Shufen doesn’t know anymore.
“I kn-knew it all along” Shufen stuttered. She doesn’t want to lie but she has to. Yaling noticed that she stuttered but Yaling thought that it was because Shufen was scared.
“Sister is sorry. But I found a way” Yaling told Shufen what the doctor had said to her. Shufen nodded. But inside her she was confused.
‘This didn’t happen!!!!! I found out that I was poisoned but it was when the General locked me for three days without food and water. And that Doctor!!! Ahh! My head hurts with all this thinking”
“I will accept it. I have to find a Master too”
Yaling nodded. She was happy. Shufen will be cured. She thought. Shufen saw this and could only shake her head a little.
‘This sister of mine is really cute. Being reborn is so good’
Both of them talked and joked around until noon. When a servant interrupted them. Shufen’s eyes turned cold, She glared at the maid. How dare that maid come here arrogantly!
“First Miss the Master has called you”
The Maid didn’t even show even a little respect. Acting like she was some bigshot. Yaling sighed. This maid is getting in her nerves.
“How dare a lowly maid like yourself talk like that!! What!! you won’t even bow when you see your Master!!”
Yaling was shocked. She wanted to be the one to discipline the maid but Shufen has done it. Ah, I love my sister more now. Yaling giggled a little she didn’t even protect the maid.
The Maid was shocked. The Second Miss waa rumored to be Timid and silent girl. And even a servant like herself can belittle her and she will just hide her face and walk out. The maid can’t even say anything when Shufen talked again.
“Bao!! Whip this arrogant maid. 40 times! Let’s see if you can still act like that” Shufen snickered. Yaling didn’t stop Shufen and nod. The maid tried to get help from Yaling but Yaling only lift her brow and smirked at the maid. Mocking the maid for being arrogant.
‘That’s what you get’ Yaling wanted to laugh but she had to go now. Their Father called her.
“I have to go now Fen-Er. Father has called me”
Shufen nodded and wave a goodbye to Yaling. Even though they grew up on a different environment her sister loved her truly. And she is happy. Truly happy. She couldn’t wish for more.
