Chapter 38: Suffer From Your Own Scheme

In the afternoon, Longyue returned home.

When she came back, she had already eaten a bowl of plain noodles in broth outside. Her stomach was already full, but her family still left some food for her. She had no choice—she was the one who was supporting this family now.

Madam Wang was still begging her to let her son go to school, so she could only smile.

“We should start planning in the spring. Let’s send him to school next spring.”

After Longyue finished speaking, she saw an anxious and disappointed expression on Madam Wang’s face. She added, “Have you forgotten? There’s only one school in Qingtian County. That Teacher Xu was injured by Qian Yi a while ago and is still recuperating at home. How could he have time to teach?”
“Oh…”

Only then did Madam Wang remember this. When she thought about how she had almost misunderstood Longyue just now, she felt a little embarrassed. Fortunately, she did not say unpleasant words, so there were no major problems.

“By the way, I think Xiangxiang and Ah Xue are almost done with threading. Come to my place to learn embroidery tomorrow. Let’s start with plain embroidery!”

Li Xiangxiang and Li Qingxue’s eyes lit up when they heard that they could learn embroidery. They said happily, “Thank you, Longyue!”

Then Longyue went to the fields to look at the herbs in the ground.

Her main purpose was to see whether the soil had been turned over and the weeds by the side cleared. In addition, she asked her elder brother and second brother to catch some earthworms and put them in the fields.

Li Qinghai stared at the fat earthworms and said suddenly, “Actually, you can also eat them after you wash and fry them!”

Longyue felt an itch in her throat and almost vomited. She held it in and said, “These things are very useful for the fields. Don’t mess around!”

‘With that, she went straight home. When she returned to her residence, she threw up violently until she vomited everything she had eaten for lunch.

Pang Shuangyue! I will definitely repay the sufferings I endured to you a thousandfold!

Longyue recalled those years when she was wandering around without anyone to rely on. She was lucky to have met a kind old granny who took her in. She was very grateful. The two of them were like mother and daughter.

However, that younger sister of hers could not tolerate having her as her elder sister. When Longyue’s life was slightly better, she tormented them, and the old granny almost died because of her!

In order to save the granny, Longyue was forced by Pang Shuangyue to eat an entire plate of earthworms. After that, she vomited for three days and three nights. She even vomited bile. She also had a high fever for seven days and almost lost her life!
Ever since then, her health had deteriorated. Then a plague that engulfed more than half of the Great Zhou Dynasty raged, and she fell gravely ill, with no one to rely on!

The suffering in her previous life was all because of her ‘good sister!”

“Hal”

She chuckled and slowly looked at the pale little face in the bronze mirror, which had turned pale from vomiting so much.

This little face was feminine but not seductive. She was delicate but not soft. Her skin was whiter than snow and translucent. She had beautiful eyebrows that were perfectly slanted. She also had big, bright eyes that were expressive.

This was definitely an outstanding beauty. No one could compare to her beauty. In the capital, even the royal princes drooled over her.

With such looks, it’s really a pity not to be a temptress that wreaks havoc in a country.

She laughed softly and looked out the window. From afar, a familiar and detestable figure was approaching the Li residence!

You’re finally here!

She sneered and took a box of rouge that she had bought a few days ago out of the drawer. She applied it gently to hide the paleness of her face before walking out slowly.

“Knock, knock, knock…”

There were several knocks on the door.

“Who is it?”

Madam Wang was drying clothes in the courtyard. When she heard the noise, she went to open the door. Then she was stunned.

A well-dressed girl stood at the door with a reserved smile on her lips. Her eyes were slightly raised, giving people the impression that she was aloof.

“You… You are…”

Madam Wang was intimidated by her arrogant demeanor, and her voice trembled as she spoke. She quickly looked towards the house. She seemed to be asking who would receive this big shot.
“Is this the Li family?”

Zhou Zhiqin tried her best to appear gentle. To be honest, she didn’t care about these country bumpkins at all. But how should she put it? She was here to set a trap for Longyue, so her attitude couldn’t be too bad.
“Yes, this is the Li family. May I know who you are…”

“Oh, I’m here to look for Cousin. Is she at home?”

“Cousin? Which cousin…”

Madam Wang asked with a dumbfounded expression, but she was interrupted by Longyue, who came from behind. “Why are you here? Ha, the weasel paying respects to the chicken? You have ill intentions, right?”
Longyue had an angry look on her face, but judging from her ruddy complexion, Zhou Zhiqin knew that her days in the Li family were not bad.

Zhou Zhigin felt jealous for a moment, but the smile on her face became even wider. “You’ve misunderstood me. We’re relatives no matter what. I was like a younger sister to you before, right? I was reprimanded by Dad when I got home. Now I’ve come specially to apologize!”
“Oh, is that so? Then aren’t you very sincere in compensating me? How long has it been? I’ve almost forgotten!”

The comers of Zhou Zhiqin’s mouth twitched slightly, but she immediately smiled and said, “What are you saying? Those few days, I was worried that you were angry, so I didn’t dare to come over. I wanted to wait for your anger to subside before coming over to apologize!
“Gosh we’re sisters. We were just bickering. Why should we take it to heart? I’ve come over personally to invite you for a good meal. Firstly, to apologize. Secondly, we’ve not seen each other for many years. It’s time for us to chat over a meal!”
Longyue smiled calmly at her lowly, harmless facade and said, “What you say makes sense. However, I’m afraid I can’t afford to buy you a meal now that I’m down and out.”

“So what? What’s yours is mine, what’s mine is yours. You just need to come with me!”

“This… Alright then!”

“That’s good. Please, be my guest!”

“Um… Do I need to change?”

“Your clothes look very good on you. You don’t have to change!”

In any case, she’s going to embarrass herself, so it does not matter whether she changes her clothes or not!

Zhou Zhiqin thought viciously. Little did she know that Longyue understood what was going on.

This scene had happened in her previous lifetime. Because she and Li Qingmu went to Jinxiu fabric shop to buy clothes together in this lifetime, she got to know Zhou Zhiqin sooner.

In her past life, Zhou Zhiqin paid her a visit out of the blue. She told Longyue that she missed her very much and wanted to have a meal with her to catch up.

Longyue ended up falling into her trap. She was drugged and after the drug took effect, someone came to harass her. At that moment, her ex-fiancé, Pei Jinheng, came in.

‘When he saw her hanging out with a sloppy man, her clothes in a disheveled state and her face flushed, he was so angry that he splashed wine on her and scolded her for being shameless.

In her previous life, she was in love with Pei Jinheng, so when she saw him, all the effects of the drug disappeared. Then she sobbed her heart out!

After that night, she felt as if she had lost her soul.. She became muddleheaded and constantly fell into the various other traps that her younger sister had meticulously set for her.
