Chapter 2: Humble Background

Look at this woman’s dress, the texture is rough, the edges are worn and old, it seems that the family she was reborn into is very poor!

Not right either!
There is even a little maid here to serve! Which poor family can afford a maid?
Just now the little girl called her Madam! Could it be a wealthy family that has fallen on hard times?

Doesn't seem to match either!

I looked around in confusion and unfamiliarity. It was indeed too shabby!

Suddenly I remembered that I was a child, and that I had come back to life from the dead. If I said that I had lost my memory, it should be normal!

But Xu Yan didn't know how distressing his blank look was.

The woman touched Xu Yan's little head worriedly: "My son, what are you looking at? This is mother's room!"

"Hmm." Xu Yan pondered for a moment, blinking his ignorant eyes, and asked in a daze: "Are you my mother? But I don't seem to remember anything. Where is this? Who am I? And who is the little girl just now?"

"You don't remember?" The woman was quite surprised. Looking at the skinny little boy, her eyes were already filled with tears. "My son, what should I do?"

"Don't cry, mother. Although I don't remember anything now, this is only temporary. Mother only needs to say it once, and maybe I will remember it!" Xu Yan gently wiped away her tears and comforted her.

"My son, what you said makes sense! I'll tell you everything!" The woman lay down next to Xu Yan and spoke slowly.

"Your name is Ye Liuyun, you are 9 years old this year. You fell seriously ill half a month ago and had repeated fevers. The night before yesterday, you suddenly became weak in the high fever. The doctor came to see you and said that there was no hope of saving you. He asked us to prepare for your funeral and to rush to the hospital. What happened..."

When talking about the sad part, her voice choked up for a while, "Fortunately... Fortunately, God has eyes and let you come back!"

"That girl just now was your little maid, the same age as you. You were the one who gave her the name Canxue!"

"Your father, Ye Feng, is a very talented man. He built this family business from scratch. In my heart, he is an amazing man!" When the woman said this, her voice was dry, as if she had thousands of words to say but couldn't bear to express them, but her eyes revealed her true feelings.

"Your mother, Cui from Yuzhou, is your father's legal wife. I am your father's concubine, and my surname is Bai!"

It turned out that she was a concubine. He had a wife, a concubine, and property. So this family was not poor!
But why is the Bai family in such a situation?
And her own funeral, which was so shabby, with only two people weeping, where were the other servants? And most importantly! Where was her biological father? Wasn't he sad that his daughter had died? Wasn't he by her side?
There is a problem here!

"Yun'er, you can call me whatever you want in this courtyard, but if there are outsiders here, you must call me Auntie! Yun'er, do you remember this?"

"Yun'er remembers it!"

"Your mother, Cui, gave birth to a pair of twins, a girl named Ye Qingyin and a boy named Ye Zhenghong! They are legitimate children, three months younger than you!"

"Our family is small and has only one population. It's also because of my mother's incompetence that we have only had you for so many years. Alas! In the end, you are a burden to the Ye family! We haven't been able to have any offspring!"

Hearing this, Xu Yan became even more suspicious.

She's just a concubine, how dare she say that she's a burden to the Ye family?
The Ye family's expansion depends on a concubine?
This is ridiculous!
There were still many questions in my mind and I wanted to talk for a while longer, but the original owner's little body had suffered a serious illness and was very weak.

I couldn't open my eyes at this moment, I felt tired and sleepy. I yawned loudly!

Bai tucked the corner of the quilt for Liuyun and coaxed her softly, "Are you tired, Yun'er? Go to sleep quickly. Mother is by your side!"

"Hmm." Xu Yan responded in a daze.

Ye Liuyun! Ha, it seems that Xu Yan is dead!
There is no more Xu Yan in this world!

Since God has given her a healthy body and since God has allowed her to live again, she must live well.

Carrying the self of the previous life and that unwillingness, live fiercely and brilliantly!
To commemorate the deceased souls and comfort the living relatives!
In the haze, I seemed to see flames jumping in the yard.

I guess it’s the Bai family burning the funeral clothes!
Tomorrow is a new beginning!
The next day, there was a noisy sound in the hall.

The noise made Liuyun unable to sleep.

Rubbing his eyes, he saw Canxue standing by the side in an orderly manner, but he could not see his mother. Liuyun stood up and asked, "Canxue, where is mother? Why is there so much noise outside?"

Canxue hurried forward to help Liuyun wash and change clothes: "Auntie is going to make soup for Miss! The mourning hall is being dismantled in the hall!"

"Oh! How's the demolition going?" Liuyun asked casually. She suspected that she had heard wrongly. Isn't the Ye family rich and powerful? Asking the aunt to get up early and make soup herself?
Thinking of Bai's situation again, I think there must be some cause and effect!

"Well, quite a few people have come, and they've been dismantling the clothes with the clanging noise for a while. It will probably take a while longer!" Although the snowman is small, he is nimble with his hands. He doesn't delay his work while talking and puts on his clothes in no time. Although they are worn out, they are neat and tidy!
Liuyun felt uncomfortable being served, but the clothes were so complicated that he was confused even though he didn't do anything. It seemed that the next step was to study carefully how to wear the clothes!

"Canxue, let's go take a look! And look for mother by the way!" After everything was packed, Liuyun took Canxue to the hall.

This is a magnificent sight!
The small hall was filled with people, including servants, maids, housemaids, and strong men! Some were clearing away tables and chairs, and some were climbing up the ladder! It was so lively!

Liuyun stood at the door, and the hall suddenly fell silent!

Dozens of pairs of eyes shot over at the same time as if receiving a command.

Looks of shock, curiosity, and disbelief surrounded Liuyun from top to bottom.

Are they watching monkeys in the zoo?

Even Ye Liuyun, who had traveled through time, felt that it was very inappropriate. As a servant, he did not focus on the work at hand, but stared at the young lady. It was too rude!

It’s not true to say that the Ye family has no rules. For example, Canxue is so well-behaved that it makes people feel sorry for her!
In just a few seconds, everyone withdrew their gaze and continued with the work in their hands, as if what had just happened had never happened!
The clouds are filled with anger!

No matter what, the problem still lies with them!

Is she really the daughter of this family? Even if she is a concubine's daughter, this is too much!

Strangely enough, as soon as Ye Liuyun appeared, everyone packed up their tools, lifted the coffin lid and left.

It's done! The remaining HP stared in disbelief!

The noise of the morning disappeared!!

How ridiculous! After all this commotion, these people are here just to watch the fun!

Come to think of it, people are curious. It's just a coffin, a brazier, and a few feet of white cloth. Why bother so many people? I've only heard of the term resurrection from the dead. It would be an eye-opener if I could see it with my own eyes!
