Chapter 2: The Fifth Sister and the Eldest Sister

When she came out of her room, her three maids bow to her. Their name was Fan Yi, Fan Er, and Fan San. She doesn't know but she frowns as she knows their name. It was simply as giving them a name or a number. The previous host just adds to her surname the number one, two, three in Chinese.

That was simply too lazy for naming her maid. But she was also too lazy to change it. "Young Mistress, do you have a command?" Fan Yi as Zexel. She just stared coldly and then she spoke.

"Don't follow me," she coldly said. She wears a Light Purple Hanfu with a Dark purple Lily embroidery. She walks elegantly and refines as she leaves her courtyard. She already browses the host's memory so she will not be lost her way.

As she walks out of the courtyard, Zexel heard a tiny footwalk sound so she began to alert herself to who is that person.

"This Lady did not expect to bump you here Hua Mei-Mei[1]. How are you? Do you want me to accompany you to your destination?" It was nom other than Fan Qinyou her Fifth sister. She was with her maid named Dong Ju.

'Bitch, let's see what scheme you have on your sleeves now. So this Lady will make you an entertainment' Fan Qinyou said to herself as she sees her mortal enemy.

"Really Jie-Jie[2]? Do you want to accompany me? I'll go to the Kitchen now because this Mei-Mei doesn't like her meal," Zexel pretends as if she disgust something which makes Fan Qingyou paled.

No one in the Fu[3] knows that Fan Qinyou's most hated place was the Kitchen. Nobody knows why other than Fan Lihua but she did not even realize that she knows it.

"Oh? In Kitchen? Mei-Mei this Lady forgot that she was called by Father. You should go now," Fan Qingyou tried to keep her Facade but as a Disguise Master, Zexel saw it clearly that's why she secretly smirk.

Fan Qingyou even murmur the word bitch a lot of times. She thought that Fan Lihua did not hear it but as a Mafia Queen, her sense is much sensitive to others.

Plus Fan Qingyou forgot that as a Cultivator, especially people with higher cultivation, they can easily hear a lot of sounds if they want to.

If not for her pretense she would probably laugh but she's too lazy to do it. She strolls for one shichen[4] until Zexel decides to go in her Eldest Sister.

She wanted to be close to this girl. She pitied her as she died at a young age before she even experiences happiness. This was the thing that she wanted to give in her sister.

She knows how sad to be lonely because that was her life before. She was only 13 in this body while her eldest sister is 15 right now. There still 2 years before she died and she wanted to make that two years the happiest moment of her life.

Her second intention was to have an alliance with the assassin that will transmigrate to her body two years later right now.

It was already at Shen[5] hour when she reaches the Hua Kai Pavilion[6] the whole place was really too old. The flowers are all dead, even the Planque was worn out and you can even tell that the place was already abandoned and not anyone was living inside.

But the truth is, this is the place of the weak and coward Di Daughter of the Prime Minister. The host only knows a little about this sister since she doesn't even bother to look for her.

They only have less than ten meetings before the death of this girl. She doesn't know why does even if she was a Di Daughter, no one even paid attention to her.

Perhaps because of her lack of a mother, that's why no one taught her something.

When she got there, her closest maid was the one who met her at the entrance. The maid was named Dao Lu. The maid was trembling to death as she saw the figure of Zexel.

She doesn't even greet Zexel because of her fear. "Where is your Young Mistress?" The maid hesitates for a bit because she doesn't want to betray her Mistress or let Zexel hurt her.

"Relax, This Sister won't do anything rash," she casually said. Dao Lu can't do anything as she was weak and can't do anything to save her mistress.

Dao Lu kowtows to Zexel which makes her shocked. "Nubi[7] did not do it intentionally, please forgive, Nubi," her voice was trembling as so as her body.

Zexel laughs as she helps Dao Lu to stand up. "It's okay, where is your Young Mistress?" She asked her again.

Dao Lu became confused about Zexel's action. She knows how vicious and scheming Zexel was so she was really hesitating.

"Si-sister?" Zexel looked in the direction where the low voice came from. She saw her sister who came out of her room.

Zexel looked carefully at her sister. She frowns as she saw that her sister looks like a skeleton. She was clearly malnourished and looks like she will be blown by the strong wind.

"Dao Lu, go to the Kitchen and tell them to prepare a meal here in Hua Kai Pavilion," Zexel gives her Violet Jade with her name to Dao Lu as if she saying that it was all her command.

"If they make the things difficult to you, free to use it. Now go," she coldly said. Because of Dao Lu's fear she immediately runs towards the Kitchen.

Fan Yaoli, the Di Daughter of the Prime Minister. The eldest among the 15 children of the Prime Minister.

"Sister Lihua, is there anything you want?" She can hear the fear in her sister's voice but she ignores it and grab Fan Yaoli's hand and go inside her sister's Room.

"Lay down there and don't ever stand up until the food came out," Zexel ordered her sister.

Fan Yaoli obediently lay on her bed while she was confused why her seventh sister become nice to her.
