Rebirth of a Villainess Chapter 2

Feeling as though someone was shaking her by the shoulder, Xu Hui heard voices calling out a name she didn't recognize .

"Young Miss Li! Young Miss Li! Please open your eyes!"

Earlier on, the young woman had been playing by the stream, before she slipped and fell backward into the pool of water . The maids that was there when it happened, rushed to pull her out of the water, carefully laying her down on the ground .

They each tried different things to rouse the young woman, her elegant peach robe was already soaking wet and filthy from the fall and dirt where she laid . Some of the servants had rushed into the inner courtyard to alert everyone inside of what had happened .

Although, the young woman's eyes was still close, she was picking up on what was being said by the people around her, none of them knew that she was listening in on their conversation .

"What is going to happen to us! If anything happens to young miss Li, Master Li will not spare any of us!"

On hearing what one of the servants said, the rest began to cry in fear . In truth, they knew that Li Jiao was the YuanLi sect leader's only child . Her mother passed away while giving birth to her, there was no one that didn't know how much Li Guoliang treasured his daughter, for him to see her this way would mean, heavy punishment to all the servants .

Rushing out of the inner courtyard closely followed by the servants, Li Guoliang almost passed out, when he saw how pale and lifeless his daughter looked . He was a respectable looking man, in blue robes, his flowing dark hair was held in place by a plain white hair stick . His good looking face was beginning to show signs of passage of time . He rushed to the side of his daughter, firmly holding on to her icy cold hands, tears trickled down his cheeks, as he called out her name in sorrow .

"A'Jiao!"

Wondering who the strange man was, Xu Hui slowly opened her eyes, this didn't go unnoticed as the father of the young woman cried out in joy from seeing that his daughter was alive and well . The sect leader then issued a command to the servants .

"Get Physician Shen! Hurry! Take A'Jiao to her chambers!"

They all jumped into position as the male servants carried the young miss into her chambers, closely followed behind by her sobbing father .

Xu Hui chose not to say a word, as she took in her surroundings, none of them found it strange that she didn't speak to her visibly shaken father . Inside, she was still mulling over the fact that she might be someone else .

"It seems, that the heavens have chosen to give me another chance at redeeming myself . "

As the thought crossed Xu Hui's mind that she might actually have come back to life, hidden by the folds of the servants robes, was a face that had a smile of deep contempt . Now that she knew that she had been brought back to life . Although, frightened by the thought of coming back, yet she chose to savor the feeling of satisfaction .

One the ground was a hair stick that had fallen off when Li Jiao was placed on the ground, one of the young maid stooped to pick it up, before heading in with the rest of them .
