The bright sunlight from the high sun gradually dimmed down, and the brilliance flowing like water also gradually began to fade, wet clear different lovely sorrows. In the spacious and empty courtyard of Ning Huitang, it was so quiet that not a single sound could be heard. Only a few strands of white silk floating above the eaves could be seen moving back and forth between the pillars.

The doors of the ancestral hall were wide open, and through the door that was slightly high up, a faint sandalwood fragrance filled the entire room, spreading out along with the thick silence.

Although it was not dusk, there were several green candles lit inside. The dim light of the candles flickered on and off, unavoidably penetrating the quiet and sorrowful ancestral hall.

In the main hall of the ancestral hall, under the steps of over a hundred tablets, a slim, yet enchanting figure knelt on the cold stone floor. The candlelight illuminated the side of her face, but it couldn't conceal the arrogance on her exquisite face.

A warm breeze blew into the ancestral hall. Her hair fluttered gently as it brushed against her water chestnut, covering her tall nose. A pair of dark and elegant eyes were focused on the brush in her hands. Her eyelashes were raised, and her cherry lips were slightly pursed, showing her alluring actions.

Her slender fingers continued to write on the piece of paper, and only when the piece of paper was covered with black words did Luo Shang slowly put down the brush in her hands. She gasped for breath, and wiped the sweat on her forehead with her sleeve.

Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw several scrolls that had been written on the left side of the table. After a few hours, she had only written a dozen or so scrolls. If it wasn't completed, that man would definitely humiliate and ridicule her in three days. Similarly, he wouldn't let the Luo Family off so easily.

As she thought about it, she shook her head, changed her posture, and folded her legs in a half curve. Fortunately, the pain in her lower body was no longer as painful as it had been when she woke up in the morning.

Luo Shang once again picked up the brush, gracefully raised it, and was about to land on the paper, when she heard a footsteps sound rushing over.

Before she could turn around, she heard a 'plop' sound. When she looked again, she saw a small body lying flat on the ground. Her body lay flat on the stone floor, intimately in contact with the earth.

"Miss … "Pain …" Zhuo Jin raised her head with difficulty, pouted her chubby lips, and called out with a slight tremble. She looked at the woman who was sitting quietly in front of her. The tears of grievance rolled in her eyes, as if they were about to flow down.

Luo Shang immediately put down the pen in her hands and leaned on the table as she stood up. Her legs were already numb to the point that they couldn't listen to orders, which was why walking these few steps was difficult. She helped up the girl, looked at her ashen face and nose, and couldn't help but laugh as she lifted her sleeves.

She really was a little girl. She was about to reach adulthood, yet she was still so flustered. Can't she see that such a high threshold was right there? In this situation, it would be hard for her to get married out of it.

"Miss, are you laughing? Haha … The young miss laughed, then Zhuo Jin's fall was not in vain. " Zhuo Jin suddenly sat up, she straightened his body and blinked her eyes a few more times, grinning, revealing her row of childish white teeth.

Luo Shang's eyes were filled with love and concern, but her mouth was solemn as she patted her head. Get up and see if you've fallen anywhere. "

Zhuo Jin pouted and smiled childishly at sher. Then, he jumped to her feet and patted off the dust on his body. Suddenly, she remembered the box on the ground. She quickly squatted down and opened the brown lid. She took a deep breath and patted her chest as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders.

"You scared me to death. If I knocked you over, Sister Ah Yu would definitely scold me for a long time. Miss is still the best, she never scolds me." The girl stuck out her tongue and held her face close to his side. She squinted at the woman in front of her with a smile, as if she was waiting for her gentle caress.

Every time she was annoyed, Luo Shang would always feel calmer when she saw this girl. In Zhuo Jin, she could always find the appearance she longed for, but in this life, it was destined that she wouldn't be able to have that kind of free personality.

"Miss, look, Miss, what did Sister Ah Yu specially make for Miss," she said as she carefully brought out the two butterflies from inside, then took out the hot rice and quickly took out a bottle of pink foam from the box. She put it on her back mysteriously, forcing Luo Shang to guess what it was.

Luo Shang squatted in front of her with one hand holding her lower jaw. After guessing twice, she was still unable to guess correctly. "Alright, alright, what is it that made it so mysterious?"

"Dang, dang, dang ~" Following Zhuo Jin's brilliant smile, a pair of hands behind her back was slowly pulled out, and she held the bottle of pink colored foam in front of Luo Shang's eyes with both hands.

Luo Shang looked at it blankly, then slowly picked up the small bottle and couldn't help but smile. It was the cherry blossom powder, her favorite was the cherry blossoms, but there were very few cherry blossoms in the Duke Palaces. The cherry blossoms that she brought with her from the General's Mansion had only sprouted not too long ago and had not even bloomed yet.

"How did you get all this?"

Zhuo Jin intentionally avoided hshe question, she only picked up the dishes and put them into the basket. After that, he stood up, walked to the side of the table and sat down, and slowly placed the things down. She pouted and replied, "I got them just casually. Don't ask me too much, come and eat quickly. Sister Ah Yu has been preparing it for you for a long time."

They were worried that the maidservant who had secretly disguised herself as a royal garden would see a large part of the cherry blossom forest when she snuck in. Taking advantage of the music from the dance hall, she sneakily picked up a lot of petals, and after Ah Yu's cleaning and drying, she managed to get this small bottle. Ah Yu had warned Miss repeatedly to not let her know about this, otherwise, if she let Miss know about the dangerous matter of them sneaking into the garden, she would get angry.

Zhuo Jin handed her rice bowl and chopsticks to Luo Shang, and seeing the elegant way Luo Shang was eating, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

Luo Shang saw her smile and placed another bowl of rice in her hands. She softly said, "Accompany me to eat."

From a single glance, it was obvious that this girl hadn't eaten her fill and was still trying to show off in front of her. Zhuo Jin's hands continuously shook, her body that was sitting on the ground retreated, and shook her head.

"This is Miss's order." Luo Shang also put down her bowl and chopsticks.

Zhuo Jin pursed her lips, smiled and picked up the rice and started to eat it. Ah Yu's culinary skills had always been the best. No matter how unpalatable something was, as long as it passed through her hands, it would always become a delicious delicacy.

Zhuo Jin ate in big mouthfuls, not paying attention to her appearance at all. Her rice bowl covered her, and only revealed a pair of crescent moon-like eyes. She suddenly stopped and wiped her mouth with her sleeve as she mumbled something.

"How much longer does Miss need to stay here? servant heard from them that Miss purposely splashed water on the scriptures, but Sister Ah Yu and I did not believe that Miss must have been framed by Ma Gu and the others. They only allowed me to deliver food at this time, and I wouldn't be able to see the young miss at all other times. servant is really worried for the young miss. "

"Idiot, I'm fine, you guys have to take care of yourselves, don't ever talk back to Ma Gu and me, and anger her, do you understand?" Luo Shang's gentle smile made Zhuo Jin's eyes moisten. She put down the bowl in her hands and threw herself into Luo Shang's embrace, not wanting Luo Shang to see her tears.

"servant is really worried about Miss, since the moment I first arrived, Miss has been living a miserable life, unlike the previous Miss, who did not care about General and Madam at all, nor did she care about the life and death of everyone in the Luo Family."

Luo Shang frowned slightly. Why did she have to listen to so much? With her beautiful eyes wide open, she asked: "What previous young miss, other than me, was there another young miss with General's Mansion?"

Hearing her question, Zhuo Jin forcibly swallowed the lump of rice in her mouth, and got up from Luo Shang's embrace. She hurriedly said, "It's Miss … Miss used to. "

She was really careless and almost said the wrong thing. Luckily she was always this way when in a hurry, if it was anyone else, Luo Shang would definitely suspect something.

"Before …" Luo Shang's eyes sank the moment she heard these two words. She had tried countless of times, but could not recall anything from the past.

She did not even know whether this was a coincidence or the will of heaven. Even if she were to marry a demon for no reason, she did not have any right to refuse, because she did not have any memories, so she could only follow the instructions of others and do everything that a young miss of the Luo clan should do.

Life was always looking ahead, but only she knew how painful it was for someone who had no memory, everything she had ever been, including the repeated nightmares, who the woman named Ram was, who the man who had been blurred so many times in her dreams. Why did so many people want to kill him? Why didn't she want him to die? She wanted to know all this, but no one would tell her.

She had asked Nalan Rongya before, but she had only replied her with one sentence.

Was it really her imagination? Today, when Zhuo Jin mentioned the past, looking at the little girl's face full of complaints, could it be that she had done many wrong things and done many things that let the Luo Family down?

"What did I look like before?" She paused for a moment, but couldn't resist the urge to ask.

Zhuo Jin smiled sweetly, her eyes blinking lively and lively. She continued to hold the bowl, and continued to speak as she ate: "The previous young miss was also very good, it's just that she would always make the Madam and the General angry. But the current young miss is still very good."

It was the same as what Ah Yu and the rest of the Luo Family had said.

Luo Shang laughed bitterly, picked up the bowl, and slowly put away the sadness in her eyes …
