Chapter 4: Goodbye, scumbag

The woman in the mirror had an exquisite and captivating beauty, but it was marred by a thick piece of silk cloth on her forehead.

Jiang Chenhe slowly reached out and touched the wound. She remembered clearly that once the cloth was removed, a scar would be left on her forehead.

And this scar was a gift from Lu Chengjun!

Yes, Jiang Chenhe's lifetime of glory was destroyed by this man's hands. So, she would naturally be able to see Lian'ou and Lianzi, and also Lu Chengjun.

Thinking of how arrogant and triumphant Lu Chengjun had been in the death row, Jiang Chenhe couldn't help but tremble. She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh, leaving faint bloodstains, but she seemed unaware of the pain.

Fourteen years old, yes, fourteen!

That year was the second year Lu Chengjun came to the Jiang family. At that time, she had been completely won over by Lu Chengjun's extraordinary talent and had already regarded him as a confidant. Little did she know, he was scheming against her at every turn!

She had been foolishly deceived at that time. Now, looking back on the whole incident, she realized that Lu Chengjun had intentionally instigated the rift between her and Jiang Sinin, leading to Jiang Sinin accidentally pushing her onto the artificial mountain, causing her to hit her forehead and sustain a severe injury.

She had been in a coma for a day and a night, but neither her caring mother nor her doting grandmother had come to see her. They had given up on her because she, the once dazzling daughter of the Jiang family, had become a disgrace due to her constant troublemaking. Unfortunately, at that time, she didn't care much about the elders' cold treatment. She was born with auspicious signs and had been pampered since childhood. She was also the designated candidate for the future queen, so she didn't care about the temporary loss of power.

Moreover, she was exceptionally intelligent and had enough confidence to ascend to the throne without letting anyone down. At that time, the family would surely support her.

Furthermore, Lu Chengjun always put on a pitiful appearance and begged her for help. How could she bear to watch everything he had built collapse? So, she had gritted her teeth and taken the blame for him, little did she know that her efforts would be in vain...

Thinking of this, a cold smile crossed Jiang Chenhe's lips. At that moment, Lian'ou suddenly said, "Miss, Rehualai has come to see you!"

Jiang Chenhe was taken aback and turned to see a slender and delicate girl with willow eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes standing beside her. It was undoubtedly her mother's close maid, Rehualai. She was intelligent and capable, and they had been close, but because of Jiang Chenhe's frequent troubles, she had always asked Rehualai to speak well of her in front of her mother, causing Rehualai to gradually distance herself from her.

At this moment, Jiang Chenhe didn't have time to think about it. She quickly put on a smile and said, "Sister, please sit down!"

Rehualai frowned and a hint of disgust and impatience flashed in her eyes. "Madam is waiting for me to report back. Since Miss is fine, I won't sit."

Jiang Chenhe realized that Rehualai had misunderstood and thought she was going to ask for help again. She immediately said, "Since Sister needs to report back to mother, I will accompany you. Mother will be relieved to see me."

Rehualai's expression turned cold and she said, "If Miss insists, then I won't stop you."

With that, she turned and left in a huff!

Lian'ou and Lianzi were shocked and didn't understand what had happened to their young lady. She had been rebuffed when she tried to help. Had she gone mad? But seeing her genuine anger, they didn't dare to intervene and silently followed her.

Jiang Chenhe suppressed her anger and carefully observed the scenery in the garden. Every plant and tree looked exactly the same as in her memory, so real and familiar... How could this be a dream?

Could it be that she... had been reborn?

As she was lost in thought, she suddenly found herself in front of Madam Jiang's room. Rehualai had curtained for her without a word and went to meet Lu Chengjun inside the room, smiling and saying, "Oh, Miss, your tea has gone cold. Let me get you a fresh cup."
