Quick Transmigration: She's a Heartbreaker: Ch 87, The Imposter Noble Lady What began this was Cen Bi becoming restless. Once people become too full of themselves, it’s easy for them to get carried away. In front of the original owner, she stopped regarding herself as a maid and stopped showing her respect. Gradually, she even started to threaten Jiang Xun. At the beginning, the original owner was worried that her matter would be revealed, so she would almost always give in to Cen Bi. She basically put her on a pedestal and gave her a share of whatever she had. However, Cen Bi only became more and more demanding. Even in front of the other maids, she wouldn’t give her face and would embarrass her every time they were alone. A few days ago, the two were talking by the pool and had a dispute. Cen Bi actually got physical, which caused the original owner to fall into the water. She was finally rescued back. Yet because during the period of recuperation, she was overly worried and didn’t properly recover her body. After that, her body became sickly. Later, the Yan family arranged a marriage for the original owner. The original owner was still thinking about her previous lover. However, when she secretly had someone to inquire about it, that person had already fallen off the list and went home to marry a wife. Heartbroken, the original owner agreed to the marriage. Who knew right after the engagement news was released, the original owner would be framed by a noble girl on an outing to offend a wangye with an unreasonable and cruel personality? In a moment of carelessness, she fell into a pond again. Although she was rescued, the chill still spread into her bones. Because her body hadn’t completely recovered from before, this only exacerbated her previous injury. Once the news of her being seriously ill came out, her marriage was postponed. Just as the original owner was recovering from her illness, an unexpected guest suddenly came, saying that she was actually the "real" Su Xun. When the original owner went out to see her, that person was actually Su Xun who had come back from the dead. Shocked, the original owner couldn't hide her panic. Everyone also became suspicious and asked that Su Xun about matters regarding her parents. To which, she was able to answer fluently without any mistakes at all. Before the people in Yan Residence could question the original owner, the original owner admitted it herself. This wasn’t a simple matter. Many people said the original owner should be given to the authorities, but Old Madame Yan couldn't bear it. She had treated the original owner with plenty of sincerity. After half a year of getting along with her, she also developed feelings for her. If she was sent to the authorities just like this, even if she didn’t die, she would be left with only half a half. Old Madame Yan couldn’t bear it, but Su Xun suddenly burst into tears. Someone, who couldn’t stand the decision, made a suggestion that she should send the original owner to a convent to be a nun, then it could be announced to the other people that she was seriously ill. As for Su Xun, they could only wrong her and said that she was the original owner’s younger sister and changed her name. With that, they could explain because she has been in poor health since young, so she was sent to a genius doctor for healing. Now that her health is better, she’s returning home. The original owner knew she was in the wrong and went to the convent, willingly. Who knew that Su Xun didn’t intend to let her go? She actually sent someone to secretly poison her. The original owner accidentally found out about it and wanted to escape, but was chased by the person sent by Su Xun. Before her death, she was also humiliated. Because the original owner died unclearly and lost her most important virginity, she couldn’t rest in peace. Her soul then followed Su Xun and discovered her secret. It turns out that she wasn’t the real Su Xun either. The real Su Xun had already died, she was just a floating soul that attached to Su Xun’s body and obtained her memories. Originally, after she came back alive, she was forced to become the Bandits’ Head’s wife. She couldn’t escape until the second son of the Xiao family led troops to suppress the bandits and raided this bandit den. Su Xun thought of a ploy and hid in the crowd of the kidnapped women and was rescued by the Xiao family’s Second Son. She lied that she had hit a stone and lost her memory, so she was able to follow him to the capital. Right after the Xiao family’s Second Son returned to the capital, his elders decided on his marriage with the original owner. Only now did Su Xun learn that someone in Yan's Residence had stolen her identity. Through investigation, she discovered that it was actually the daughter of a poor Scholar that the real Su Xun had saved before. A scheme quickly appeared in her mind. Knowing the original owner would come, she begged the Xiao family’s Second Son to go to the garden with her so that she could manipulate others to harm the original owner and offend the wangye as well as getting pushed into the water. Then she pretended her memory had been restored and asked the Xiao family’s Second Son for help, saying that she was the real Su Xun. Later on, once she drove away the original owner, she was afraid of leaving any loose ends, so she simply decided to kill her. Knowing the truth, the original owner was both hateful and regretful. She couldn’t accept how her life just ended like that and felt remorse for not cherishing her life along with hating how ruthless the fake Su Xun was. Therefore, the system summoned Jiang Xun to fulfill her wish and help this poor woman change her fate. The system explained, "This time, you don’t have a specific mission. Because the original owner doesn’t know what she wants either, you need to figure out her thoughts by yourself. Of course, there are also benefits in such a mission. I will try my best to help you. From me, you can obtain the information of the main characters in this world, which will be very helpful for you to complete the mission. Moreover, this world is different from the previous worlds. There seemed to be many lucky sons of the Heaven and has more than one superb quality lucky sons. " Jiang Xun smiled secretly, "Really? Then that’ll make me busy enough." The system cautioned, "However, what I want to remind you is that although there are many sons of the Heaven, there are also risks. Especially with how the superb quality lucky sons of the Heaven in this world hold the right to a person’s life and death. You should restrain yourself a little bit, it’ll be better to not be as promiscuous." Jiang Xun responded indifferently, "I know that. Don't forget, I’m also a person from this time period. Going back to the ancient times won’t affect my performance, just you wait and see." Once Jiang Xun finished communicating with the system, she opened her eyes and saw several maids guarding the bed. Ying Qiao was the first to notice that Jiang Xun opened her eyes. She reacted with joy, "Young Miss, you are finally awake." The other maids were also extremely happy. Everything was fine as long as she woke up. If Young Miss died, they wouldn’t have any good fruits to eat either. Jiang Xun said weakly, "Go get water." Ying Qiao brought forth a bowl of warm water and helped Jiang Xun take a few sips. Only then did Jiang Xun feel that her throat wasn’t as dry and uncomfortable. She scanned around the room and asked, "Where’s Cen Bi?" The maids glanced at each other. Ying Qiao hesitated to speak, but Shu Ying stood forward and replied with a sullen expression, "She’s locked in the wood shed, Old Madame said that she would wait for Young Miss to wake up before sending her off." These maids have long been uncomfortable with Cen Bi's arrogant appearance. Relying on that she grew up serving Young Miss, she considered herself as an important figure, while Young Miss also did, spoiling her without any restrictions. Jiang Xun wasn’t surprised. The mistress almost died from falling into the water, while the maid who was following her was fine. If she didn’t get punished, who would get punished? And all those things that Cen Bi did before were just looking for death. How could a big family clan allow a maid to ride on the head of the master? With so many eyes watching, her attitude towards Miss Su will naturally reflect Old Madame’s side. Since the original owner can't control her, it’ll be up to her to control her. "Shu Ying, go and bring her here. Don't disturb Old Madame, it’s too late in the evening." "Yes." Shu Ying left in response. Within the time for a cup of tea, Cen Bi had arrived. She wore a bean-green sleeved over-dress with a double snail bun. She appeared very delicate. Her pair of dark and lacquered eyeballs seemed rather bright and clever. Seeing the slight mess of her unkempt appearance, she must have taken some suffering in the wood shed. Cen Bi's face was full of trepidation. When she saw Jiang Xun, she was a little excited. Once she was inside the wood shed, she had regretted her action. If the mistress died, she wouldn’t be able to survive either. Jiang Xun faintly ordered, "You guys go down first." Since the original owner always talked to Cen Bi alone, all the other maids felt like they weren’t being favored and felt somewhat uncomfortable. Now Jiang Xun wanted to see Cen Bi as soon as she woke up, the frank-tempered Shu Ying couldn't hold herself back. "Young Miss." She called, but she didn't know how to say it. After all, they hadn't been waiting on Young Miss for long, while Cen Bi was different. Ying Qiao pulled Shu Ying, motioning her not to be impulsive. Only then Shu Ying stormed out angrily. As Jiang Xun watched these coldly, she felt that the original owner didn’t know how to handle things. This entire roomful of maids probably all held some objections against her in their hearts. It's just that this matter can't be rushed. She had to resolve the issue with Cen Bi first before she could do other things with a peace of mind. Seeing that everyone else had left, Cen Bi wanted to come forward and talk to Jiang Xun. However, as soon as she looked up, she saw Jiang Xun staring at her coldly, causing her feet to seem to be stuck on the ground, unable to move herself. Jiang Xun's eyes were like ice blades, directly piercing into her body, making her fearful. "Young Miss." Cen Bi called hesitantly. "Do you know where I went yesterday?" Jiang Xun said unhurriedly. Cen Bi thought to herself, yesterday? Hasn't Young Miss been unconscious ever since she fell into the water and only now came to her senses? She didn't understand Jiang Xun's meaning and felt that Jiang Xun was acting so strangely. It was as if her whole person had changed. She felt uneasy, "Cen Bi doesn't know." "I ah, I went to the gates of H*ll for a while." Although the corners of Jiang Xun’s mouth were smiling, the smile that didn’t reach the bottom of her eyes was nerve-racking. Cen Bi looked up at Jiang Xun in dismay, unable to speak for a while. Jiang Xun was very satisfied with her reaction and continued, "Cen Bi, I thought it out. Let's go to Old Madame and tell her about everything. I've already died once, at the worst, I’ll just die again. Why bother living such fearful days?" Cen Bi became anxious, "Young Mis, didn't we agree on it back then? How can you go back on your words?" "Yeah, we agree on it, but it was not me who repented first." Cen Bi's eyes widened, "I never regretted it. After I made the decision that day, I put myself out there. Young Miss, you mustn’t talk nonsense." Jiang Xun sneered, "Do you really think that Old Madame doesn't know what happened inside this Lian Yan Courtyard? With your usual attitude, where have you been treating me as your Mistress? This time you can’t rid yourself of how you made me fall into the water. Tomorrow morning, Old Madame will definitely deal with you. Can you guarantee that you will let Old Madame drive you out without saying anything?" Cen Bi furrowed her brows, but said nothing. "Therefore, let's work together tomorrow morning, maybe we can still save our little lives." Jiang Xun looked at her with a smile that was not a smile. She didn’t seem to be joking at all, scaring Cen Bi into a cold sweat. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Notes: fallen off the list (落榜): a slang for failing the Imperial Examination Wangye (王爷): title given to the brothers of the Emperor
