Rebirth: Ordinary Life and Living

Zhou Xinyue sighed and said, "Forget it, forget it, just call it an egg. Why would I call myself that? I'm speechless!"

The girl smiled and consoled him, "This was given to you by your mother. Have you forgotten?"

Zhou Xinyue shook her head and said, "To be honest, I don't remember anything about the past. I'm afraid that my head was severely injured that day and I have lost my memory!"

Zhou Xinyue thought, since this is the case, there is nothing she can do to change the status quo, she can only stay in this strange place for the time being. It happened that this body had a serious head injury that day, so she could use this as an excuse and say that he had lost his memory. It would not seem so abrupt, and I believe that no one would suspect anything.

The girl's eyes instantly turned red with pain, and she said, "Fourth Aunt is so cruel. She clearly wanted to kill you and get rid of you that day. If Grandma Li hadn't arrived in time, Goudan, we would have been doomed that day."

Zhou Xinyue vaguely remembered that she was naked that day, the fourth aunt had a fierce quarrel with the young man, and then she fainted.

Zhou Xinyue asked hurriedly: "What happened that day? Why was I naked and injured so badly? Who are they? And who is that Grandma Li you mentioned?"

The girl explained hurriedly, "That's the fourth concubine of the Wu family. Her name is Wu Peishuang. She's from the Wu family, a big family in Western Wu. I heard that her family used to be very prominent. Her father was involved in a big case decades ago. All the male members of the family were executed, and the daughters were demoted to commoners. Later, the new emperor ascended the throne many years ago and rehabilitated the family and restored their treatment, but the male members were dead, and the family was no longer the same as before. Until she married into the family and became the fourth concubine, she gave birth to the second son, Jinlang, and the fourth daughter, Yuhan."

Zhou Xinyue listened carefully, and Erdan continued, "The man you saw that day was the second son of the 銆 family, Jinlang. After you fainted, it was Grandma Li, the maidservant beside the mistress of the 銆 family. Grandma Li is the old grandma who follows the mistress. She has been following the mistress since she married in from her natal family. For decades, it has always been Grandma Li who serves the mistress."

Zhou Xinyue nodded and agreed: "So that's how it is. She can be considered an old senior in the mansion. It seems that I have to thank her very much."

Erdan nodded and said, "That's right. If Grandma Li hadn't arrived in time that day, I'm afraid you, Goudan, would have suffered a lot more!"

Zhou Xinyue asked again: "What about me and that Jin Lang? Also, what about the tribe entry ceremony next month?"

Erdan sighed and continued, "It's a long story, Goudan. Your mother is Ye Ningfang. Her former husband, Liu Xinyong, was originally a general under the command of our master, Tianyu. In a battle, Liu Xinyong died while saving our eldest master, Shilang. In order to express gratitude to Liu Xinyong for risking his life to save him, our master and eldest master took your mother and your brother into the mansion to take care of them. Who knew that many years ago, our eldest master's only son, Ziyi, was naughty and took your brother to play in the wild. In the wild mountain stream, they encountered a flood caused by heavy rain. Your brother was washed away by the mountain torrent while trying to save the young master Ziyi. By the time our family spent half a month finding your brother, he had already..."

Speaking of this, even Zhou Xinyue couldn't help but sigh.

Erdan sighed and said, "Your mother was also the wet nurse of the young master Ziyi. At that time, I heard that she treated the young master as her own son and had a very good relationship with him. Your mother had no complaints. Later, there was a plague in Cangdu, and Ziyi did not survive it and passed away many years ago."

Zhou Xinyue listened carefully, feeling mixed emotions.

Erdan continued, "During that epidemic, the eldest young master of the family was unfortunately infected, so the old master Tianyu asked your mother to take the eldest young master of the family, Shilang, to a farm in the countryside to recuperate. The old master did this to protect the other people in the mansion. Later, the eldest young master survived and gradually recovered, so he moved back. Your mother also met your father in that country and gave birth to you. Sandan and I are orphans of the villagers in Guihua Village. Our family members also passed away in that epidemic. Your mother took pity on us and took us in. We can be said to have been raised by your mother."

After listening to this, Zhou Xinyue sighed and said, "I see."

Erdan said with tears in his eyes: "If it weren't for your mother, who knew some medical skills and saved us, Sandan and I might have died with our parents in that epidemic."

Zhou Xinyue sighed and said, "It turns out that Goudan's mother knows a little bit of medical skills. She saved the young master and you. She is such a kind woman."

Erdan smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, my godmother is a very kind and gentle woman. She saved a small number of villagers in the village. But after all, my godmother is not a professional doctor, she only knows a little bit, so the medicine she made didn't work for some other villagers. She couldn't save all of them, and she often sighed and cried alone."

Hearing Erdan describe Goudan's mother in this way, Zhou Xinyue felt that Goudan's mother was a good person and felt a sense of respect for her.

Erdan continued, "Later, godmother's health deteriorated. Her face became pale and she passed away. Sandan, you and I were taken back to Guihua Village by Rong Yanghui, the mistress of the family, and raised in the East Garden."

Zhou Xinyue nodded and said, "I guess my family is also grateful to the dog... Oh, no, they are grateful to my mother, so they took us back. Alas, no wonder my family is planning to include me in the family tree next month. It turns out that I am my brother. My mother's previous husbands all died to save the family. I understand now!"

Erdan nodded and continued, "Yes, we came to the 銆怆 family. The mistress of the 銆怆 family was really very kind to you. Because of you, Sandan and I were able to have a bowl of rice to eat in the 銆怆 family's East Garden and grew up without any illness or disaster. Although you and I are not biological siblings, we are better than biological siblings."

Zhou Xinyue felt guilty for a moment when she heard this, and she swallowed and said, "Um... Actually, that... is nothing? We are brother and sister, and I don't have any relatives in this world. Now, I only have you."

Zhou Xinyue looked at Erdan's sincere and touching eyes with a guilty conscience, dodging left and right, because Zhou Xinyue felt that after all, she was not the Goudan she was grateful for, and she felt very guilty. She also sighed that Goudan had a bad fate, and died at a young age for no apparent reason that day. He was also a pitiful person.

Erdan held Zhou Xinyue's hand tightly and said, "That's right, we are brother and sister, we are real brother and sister, and you are my only relatives."

At this point, Erdan burst into tears. Zhou Xinyue was moved and sighed. She slowly wiped away Erdan's tears with her hands and said gently: "Yes, we are brother and sister, forever brother and sister."
