There was a ghastly coffin in the central hall of the Su's residence, the mansion of the chief of Shunyang prefecture.
The cold wind brushed the white silk one the door, creepy and terrifying.
A young girl wearing white clothes lay in the coffin. Her eyes were closed tightly; Her face was drained of blood. She has completely lost her breath.
"Miss, the eldest Miss has been dead. Let it go, OK?"
"Let it go? I won't let her off even she died. Drag her out!"
In front of the coffin, a girl wearing a peach pink dress stared at the girl lying in the coffin with hideous eyes and ordered the servants to drag the dead girl out to abuse!
The dim candle flame flickered in the cold wind, flashing on and off the pale face of the young girl in the coffin, which made people feel creepy.
The servants who did not dare to violate the order reached their hands to grab the dead girl, shaking with fear.
When they were close to the girl, her fingers moved a little.
"Ah! Oh, my god! Ghost! Ghost!" The servants were scared to scream out, legs collapsed to the ground directly.
The second Miss, Su Jingwen, was also got a fright. But she was not scared even if the coffin girl was alive, let alone she's dead now.
"Useless things!"
Su Jingwen said and kicked them, stepping forward to look the girl in the coffin.
The coffin girl was still lying inside without any change. Su Jingwen was more convinced that the servants were merely scaring themselves.
"Such idiots, look at me..."
Su Jingwen glared contemptuously at the servants. When she looked back at the coffin, the coffin girl opened her eyes suddenly!
The eyes contact scared Su Jingwen out of response.
The coffin girl looked at Su Jingwen with her deep and dark eyes.
"Ah, Ah! The dead girl rises, she rises!" Su Jingwen screamed out, turning away from the mourning hall.
The coffin girl sat up stiffly from the coffin. Her bloodless face was so scaring under the candle flame.
"Ghost, there is a ghost, the elder Miss is back as a ferocious ghost!"
All people in the mourning hall were trembling with fear. They rolled and crawled out of the hall. The frightened scream shattered the night sky of Su Mansion.
The coffin girl named Su Muge looked at the people who were defeated and fled, a faint sneer hanging on her bloodless lips.
The sneer was so creepy on her pale little face.
"I didn't expect God to make such a big joke on me." Su Muge laughed at herself.
She was a medical elite in the 21st century. She had just developed a new drug that could rehabilitate quickly from drug addiction. Unexpectedly, a drug dealer targeted and caught her. When her friend went to save her, they both fell off a cliff and died.
Instead of dying like this, she traveled to an aerial country, Chu Country because of time-space transform and became Su Muge, the girl who dead tragically, the eldest daughter of the chief of Shunyang prefecture, Su Lun.
Su Muge was the first daughter of Su Lun's original wife, Zhao. The born-poor Su Lun had married to Zhao before he succeeded in imperial exam and had Su Muge. After his success, he was liked by the Minister of Revenue and married his daughter, An Yurong, to Su Lun. Unexpectedly, when An Yurong was giving birth to a child, Zhao came with one-year-old Su Muge, so An was so angry that she gave birth to Su Jingwen early.
At that time, many aristocratic men despised Su Lun and crowded out him, so the Minister of Revenue had to arrange him to a distance place, a county of Nantong prefecture, as a County Magistrate. Su Lun had no complaints. Gradually, he climbed to the position of the chief of Shunyang prefecture and the anger of the Minister was finally relieved a little. Once the time was up, Su Lun could go back to the capital to report on his work.
An was afraid of rumors, so she advised Su Lun to take Zhao and her daughter. On the surface, she treated them with due respect, while privately, she did everything she could to obstruct them, which made them live a terrible life inferior to some senior servants.
The reason why the predecessor was dead was that the son of Master of Hanlin Academy, Meng Xiuwen, visited Su mansion several days ago, and Su Jingwen, who admired Meng, saw that Su Muge peeked at him. She thought Muge dared to adore the man she liked, so she lured the predecessor to the lotus pond and drowned her.
Su Jingwen still felt that was not enough and she even wanted to abused the corpse after the predecessor died!
When Su Muge was thinking, there was some messy footsteps. Hearing this, the cold intention in her eyes were getting bigger.
Just arriving here, let me give you a big surprise!
Su Muge laid back to the coffin and closed her eyes, as if nothing had happened.
"My lord, it's true. We all saw that the eldest Miss opened her eyes! She dies with everlasting regret!"
"You all shut up!" Su Lun entered the mourning hall wearing a loose regular suite, with an impatient expression as if the dead girl was not her daughter.
He was woken up in the concubine's room, so he was filled with anger and impatience.
He didn't believe in the saying of "die with everlasting regret", however, when he swept into the hall, a chilly wind blew through his soles and ran straight to the back. He couldn't help shivering.
Into the hall, Su Lun caught sight of the dark coffin, he swallowed unconsciously. He always didn't like this daughter. Moreover, even if she had died, she continued to interrupt him.
"My lord, it's so dark in the evening. I'm afraid that they are dazzled. The doctor confirmed that the eldest Miss had had no breath."
The feminine voice was from the master mistress An, Su Muge recognized.
Hearing that, Su Lun put down his guilty conscience.
He walked quickly to the coffin and frowned to see it.
Su Muge was the same as that of being put into the coffin. Nothing's different!
"The eldest Miss is normal, what's wrong?"
"Bu... but, just...now, we and the second Miss all saw that the eldest Miss opened her eyes!"
"Nonsense!" Su Lun snorted angrily because a bunch of useless things jeopardized his joy.
An also took a glance at the coffin, the drooping eyes hiding her laugh in the eyes.
"My lord, it's so late. You should have a rest. You have to attend the imperial court session in the early morning, I will take care of here."
"OK."
"Aha!"
Su Lun was going to leave while hearing a heavy yawn suddenly, as if there was a breath that a person made when he was exhausted.
He stopped his steps and looked at An. He asked, "What are you doing?"
An flustered a little and said, "I did nothing."
"Aha!"
There was another yawn.
An also heart this yawn.
The two became stiff instantly, because, the sound was from the coffin!
"Aha!"
The sound was more and more loud, more and more frequent.
Su Lun mustered up his courage to turn back, he saw Su Muge reaching straight her arms, and sitting straight up from the coffin!
Su Muge's dark eyes shining weird light were on Su Lun straightly. Her bloodless lips opened a little, and it seemed that Su Lun could see tusks in her mouth which could eat people.
"Ghost, Ghost, there is really a ghost!"
An was to be scared to death, grasping the hand of Su Lun and shivering.
"Help, help, the eldest Miss has been a ferocious ghost, she has been a ferocious ghost"
For an instant, An's eyes turned around and she fainted.
Su Lun was no better than An. His legs were shivering and the whole body collapsed on the ground. His frightened eyes were staring at Su Muge who jumped out from the coffin.
"Help, help!"
Su Muge jumped to Su Lun like a zombie with legs together. Her dark eyes were close to him bit by bit, lifting up her mouth slightly.
"Surprise!"
"Ah!"
The screams almost ruptured the eardrums. Su Lun stared at Su Muge, shaking severely and going limp.
Su Muge sneered looking at the yellow liquid that was full of reeks under the body of Su Lun.
"That's all your courage."
People in the hall almost ran away, Su Muge loosed herself up and took a bite of the roast chicken in the altar.
"Mumu, is Mumu awake? Is my Mumu awake?"
Su Muge had not been replete and she heart a mournful voice outside the mourning hall.
Su Muge caught sight of a skinny and pregnant woman staggering to the hall, wearing a plain white dress.
"Mumu, you really are Mumu, my honey..." The woman had a pretty oval face, at first sight you would recognize she was a beauty. However, she cried a lot, so her almond eyes were red and swollen and her face was pale, which hid her original beauty.
She was Zhao, the mother of the predecessor. For no reason, Su Muge felt stuffy and sour in the heart when seeing Zhao.
Maybe it's the feelings of the predecessor. After all, she was her mother.
As an orphan, Su Muge had no idea about how to deal with the sudden affection.
Hesitating a second, she responded Zhao, "It's me."
"Mumu, Are you really OK? God bless you. God bless you."
Su Muge embraced Zhao, comforting her in a soft voice, and she felt Zhao was really skinny.
"Yes, I come back to live." And I will live a wonderful life on behalf of your daughter!
Su Muge and Zhao left the mourning hall to the Peachblossom Courtyard, even if she was prepared, she was astonished when seeing the yard.
This yard was remote and empty. Except for an old and dying tree, there was nothing in the yard, not conforming to the yard name Peachblossom Courtyard at all. The table and chairs in the room had lost much paint and were so mottled that couldn't recognize what's the original color.
Zhao and the predecessor lived a dozen years under this condition, however, as the husband and father, Su Lun didn't care at all.
"Mumu, you fell into water and scared, you should have a good rest tonight, I' will invite a doctor to see you tomorrow morning."
"OK."
She just woke up and was feeble, so she fell asleep as soon as she lay down, closing her heavy eyes.
This night, the whole Su mansion was messy, but the "chief criminal" slept tight.
...
"My Miss is to see the eldest Miss, go away quickly!"
"The eldest Miss hasn't wake up, Miss Jingwen, please...Ah!"
"Such a dirty slave, how dare you stop the second Miss!"
In the morning of next day, the dispute outdoor woke up Su Muge. When she sat up from the bed, the door was pushed open.
Su Jingwen walked in in a threatening manner with her maids. Su Muge saw the fleeting terror in her eyes, guessing that she was scared heavily last night.
Su Jingwen wore a begonia dress, belted at the waist. In the corner of her dress, there was a cute flower when she walked, which added a feeling of quip.
Su Jingwen looked like her mother An, with a pink and cute round face, full forehead and big eyes, slightly cocked nose and rosy cherry-like lips. All of these made people dearly love her whether she was smiling or being angry.
Unfortunately, she was always spoiled by An, bullying and arrogant. She was not adorable but hateful.
Su Muge turned her sight to the weeping maid Yueru, the close maid of the predecessor, the only one who tried to save her when she fell into water.
"Yueru, what's wrong with your face?"
Yueru sniffled and choked, "Miss Muge, I'm OK. I hit something accidentally."
Su Muge's eyes moved a bit, and thought "Do you really think I'm blink?"
"What did you hit that can leave a palm print?"
Su Jingwen noticed that Su Muge ignored her and thought of she's scaring her last night, she burst into anger.
"Sister Muge, this maid didn't behave, I guided her for you."
"Oh,really? Which maid guided her?"
Su Jingwen's close maid Yinghong bowed her head slightly without any respect and says, "It's me...Ah!"
"Pa!"
Yinghong hadn't finished her sentence and her face suffered from a slap.
The slap astonished not only Yinghong but also Su Jingwen.
After coming to herself, regardless of Su Muge being a human or ghost, Su Jingwen frowned and gnashed her teeth and said, "Su Muge, how dare you hit my maid!"
Su Muge looked at her and smiled slightly.
"Why are you saying that, my little sister. I'm teaching your undisciplined maid for you because she didn't bow to me when she entered the room. Don't you think she is undisciplined?"
"You, good, you dare to talk back!"
Su Jingwen glared at Su Muge and thought how strange the girl was, especially the face. It was the same as before, but with different feeling.
In the past, no matter how she bullied Su Muge, she just cried to faint, but dared not to talk back.
Was there a dirty thing in her body!
The sunlight shined on Su Muge's pale face. Su Jingwen saw the dark red birthmark on her whole right eye. It's conspicuous.
She was not afraid of light and she had a shadow. Su Jingwen now believed Su Muge was human, not ghost.
No matter what Su Jingwen thought of, now that Su Muge possessed the body and she should decide how to live.
"Kneel down."
"What?"
"Don't you come to apologize to me?" Su Muge wore a faint smile on the face and looked at her. Her eyes that seemed to see through the heart frightened Su Jingwen.
"You pushed me into water and tried to drown me. I just let you kneel down to apologize to me. Do you feel wronged?"
"Nonsense..."
"Greeting to my lord and madam."
There were some footsteps outside, Su Jingwen changed her attitude suddenly and some tears were in her eyes that glared a moment ago.
"Sister, please forgive me, I won't beg you to play in the lotus pond again."
"What are you doing!"
