After Time Travel, My Best Friend Became My Enemy
墨書 Inktalez
"Everything is just a fleeting cloud."
When I heard this signal, my soul trembled violently.
In my past life, I traveled to ancient times with Lu Zhenzhen; one of us became a young lady in the Prime Minister's Residence, while the other became a maid there.
Before the time travel, I learned that my best friend had been cheated on by a scumbag. I helped her teach him a lesson, but in a moment of desperation, he stabbed me.
My best friend took the blow for me and was hurt badly, but it wasn't anything serious.
However, due to my physical condition, I could not be saved and died completely.
After we traveled through time, to repay my best friend's act of shielding me, I respected her in everything.
I ran errands for her, made clothes for her, taught her poetry and songs...
If she told me to go east, I would never go west.
But she turned out to be an ungrateful wolf.
Ignoring my advice, she eloped with her lover.
When she was caught by people from the Prime Minister's Residence and brought back, I was punished for assisting them in delivering messages and was beaten nearly to death, ultimately sentenced to be executed.
On the day I was to be beheaded, Lu Zhenzhen was still in the high pavilion of the Prime Minister's Residence, enjoying the snow with Eldest Sister while sipping tea and playing the guqin.
She had long forgotten that I knelt for two days and nights to persuade her not to elope, nearly crippling my legs.
She also forgot that I gave her all my Monthly Salary to prepare money for her escape while starving myself for several days.
Even more forgotten was how I always encouraged her, supported her, and helped her.
On the day of my execution, she shyly wore the Golden Silk Eight Treasures Beaded Hairpin awarded by Old Lady under Eldest Sister's envious gaze.
That was my favorite hairpin; after saving up for several months of Monthly Salary, I had seen it in a jewelry shop and lingered there for a long time before reluctantly leaving without it.
Lu Zhenzhen knew this but pretended not to.
Right in front of me, she put on that pin.
My heart turned completely cold.
In this life, I will no longer foolishly stand in front of her as her stepping stone.
At this point, does she still want me to be used by her like before?
I lowered my head, pretending to be confused. "Miss, I am dull-witted and do not understand what you mean."
Lu Zhenzhen's eyes dimmed.
She frowned and said impatiently, "It's nothing, just a casual remark."
Seeing her awkward expression, a sense of satisfaction rose within me.
In this life, I would no longer act recklessly; I needed to be cautious and take careful steps.
No.
I could not be as reckless as in my past life.
I had to be careful to avoid a tragic end.
Azure Peach came to deliver a message: "Miss, Old Lady wants you to come over; the young general from the Duke of Wei's family is here and would like to meet you."
The Duke of Wei is a favored official by the Emperor, and his son has achieved significant military accomplishments, being the youngest general.
The Prime Minister's Residence has been eager to align with the general's household and has inquired several times before getting this opportunity for a marriage proposal.
Lu Zhenzhen pouted, "Mother really knows I don't like these sons of noble families; they all act so high and mighty, it's annoying just to look at them."
"I still prefer a carefree life."
"Forget it; I'll go deal with it anyway."
After Azure Peach left, Lu Zhenzhen waved at me: "Wei Yang, come with me to meet our guest."
As a maid, I had to do whatever my master asked.
I had no right to refuse.
On the way to Old Lady's courtyard, Lu Zhenzhen suddenly turned to look at me: "Wei Yang, you look a lot like my friend, but she is prettier and carries herself better."
"If you stood up straight, you would resemble her even more."
In my past life, it was precisely because of this remark that I straightened my back, which made Lu Zhenzhen notice my defiance and from then on treated me as a rival, secretly trying to sabotage me.
Having learned from my mistakes, I no longer dared to stand tall.
I humbly replied, "Miss is joking; I am just a servant and cannot compare myself to your friend."
Lu Zhenzhen frowned: "Why are you so humble? You have no backbone at all?"
I smiled lightly and said nothing.
Lu Zhenzhen continued, "If you want to stand tall and be yourself, I can teach you."
She had said the same thing to me in my past life.
