Chapter 3
This is perfectly fine for Gao Lan Mei. It's more comfortable for her as she is used to the smell of these bitter types of herbs.
She tried to feel her aching face and judging by the pain, the wounds are deep.
This type of wound leaves scars for a lifetime.
For the original Gao Lan Mei, it will be a big deal, but that's not the case for the new owner of the body.
She just needs the right medicine and spiritual energy, these scars can be removed like it was never there in the first place.
On the other hand, she also never cared about her appearance from the beginning, so why bother now.
a.s.sessing her physical condition, Gao Lan Mei frowned. That wolf beast really intended for the original body owner to die.
Her left ribs are broken, that is also the case with her left lower arm and right leg.
Aside from losing too much blood, her internal organs were also damaged.
"This body could have been a cripple." Gao Lan Mei thinks. "Do not worry, since I am now the one using your body, I will make them regret ever looking down on you. We will start collecting debt immediately."
This is her vow to the original Gao
Her eyes wandered to her "mother". She knows that she owes her new life this family. Returning the favor is her responsibility.
Judging from the previous owner's memory, the madam is in her late forties but still looks like she's in her late twenties. The Madam's husband surely dotes on his wife and daughter a lot.
Her "father" as she remembers as well, is a minister. Though he is very strict with other people, that is not the case to his wife and only child.
Through the years, as well, her "father" did not take a second wife or a concubine, despite not having a son. This remained the case even after knowing his wife cannot give birth anymore.
"How are you feeling?" Madam Gao asked. Her face shows her deep worry. She also looks tired due to the lack of sleep and is about to cry.
"Tired." She answered with a raspy voice. She tried to say more but was just too exhausted to do so.
This body can be considered a walking dead. Even with the spiritual energy, it will still take a while for it to recover.
Gao Lan Mei knows that she first needs to collect resources. "Feng Jin. You know what to do." She mentally called.
There are many things to take care of, especially since she is starting a new life. Let's then start with hitting two sparrows with one stone.
"Yes, miss." The soft voice of the child answered from her consciousness.
The Madam did not notice the small shadow that moved out of Gao Lan Mei body.
...
On the second prince manor, a little brown sparrow can be found on a redwood tree branch.
It's curiously watching the servants that are running around like headless chickens.
They are trying to fill the buckets of water as the guards were using them to stop the fire, paying much more attention to the treasury.
If not for the current situation, one will feel that it is strange to see a small bird like this, as it is known that sparrows are afraid of fire or don't like smokes.
If one looks closely as well, one would notice that the sparrow has a large ring around its neck.
