Chapter 5: Rebirth of the Useless (4)

The red robe had long since been changed; she now wore a pale yellow dress that trailed onto the ground, a simple and ancient-style belt around her waist, and a red gemstone hairpin in her hair. It was simple, yet it made her face appear incomparably fair and tender.

Her phoenix eyes were enchanting to all living beings, yet they also carried a hint of coldness and majesty. Her dark hair flowed like a river, and her vermilion lips parted slightly to let out a helpless sigh: "This is truly fucking unbelievable!"

This face was actually identical to her face in the modern world, only with a few more traces of ancient elegance and youthful tenderness—one a mature modern version, the other a youthful ancient version.

Yet, both possessed the same world-shaking beauty.

"Hmph, idiot? Ugly freak?" Various unpleasant memories surged in like a tide, and Yi Weicen couldn't help but sneer. "Since I was dragged here by you, it seems if I don't follow your wishes, I won't be able to go back. Don't worry, I will definitely help you settle this score with the world!"

The door creaked open, and Xiao Ling entered weeping, holding a bowl of water in her hands.

One look at her expression and it was clear she had been bullied again.

"Who bullied you this time?" Yi Weicen stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Ling's hand.

Just as Xiao Ling was about to speak, she saw that Yi Weicen's face was as smooth as an egg white; the mottled birthmark had vanished completely.

Was this still her "Ugly Miss"?

"Miss, your face?"

"It might be the effect of the medicine Mother left behind. My head was also bumped, making me much clearer-headed. This is what they call a blessing in disguise."

"That's wonderful!" Xiao Ling was a simple and kind-hearted person; in her bones, she believed she belonged to the Miss, and whatever the Miss said was right.

Yi Weicen stared coldly at the bowl in Xiao Ling's hands; there was only half a bowl of water inside.

"Were you made difficult by someone!?"

Based on experience, it was perfectly normal for Yi Weicen to think of this possibility.

Xiao Ling nodded. "I went to fetch water for Miss, but I ran into the old maids from the Second Miss's room. They said..."

"Said what?" Yi Weicen's voice wasn't loud, but it was incredibly chilling. Xiao Ling felt an inexplicable shiver and could only tell the truth.

"They said that Miss is a money-losing brat who was swept out into the street by people, and that money-losing brats shouldn't waste water, so they only gave this little bit!"

Yi Weicen gave a cold smile. Using that half bowl of water, she cleaned her shallow wounds, then turned to head out the door.

"Miss, where are you going?" Xiao Ling, following behind, couldn't keep up. She only heard Yi Weicen say: "I am going to seek justice for you," before Yi Weicen's figure had already vanished.

At the distribution area in the backyard, a middle-aged woman was leaning against a doorway, incessantly cracking melon seeds. The shells were scattered all over the ground. As soon as she saw Yi Weicen, she looked as if she had seen a ghost.

"You... you are..."

Yi Weicen gave a cold, grim smile, her eyes flashing with a frigid light.

"When Xiao Ling asked you for water just now, what did you say? I'll give you one more chance. Speak. Clearly!"

The woman was completely stunned.

This woman was wearing the clothes that lowly money-losing brat wore, and her voice was also that of the money-losing brat, but this gaze and countenance were not that Third Miss.

After counting to three, the woman remained frozen in place without answering. The time Yi Weicen had given had passed. Without a word, she flicked her sleeve, performed a turn, and flipped the woman, along with her stool, into the well.

"It's too late to scream now." Yi Weicen gave a gentle smile, closed the lid, patted her hands, and walked away gracefully.

Not many people came to this place. If she could come out alive, it was her luck; if she died in the water, she deserved it.

Yi Weicen turned to go to the pharmacy to get some things, but before she even reached the door of the pharmacy, she heard a mocking, sarcastic remark.
