The bald nun covered her nose in disgust as she pointed her finger at Yu Niang and cursed.
“Damned woman, why aren’t you slacking off when you’re supposed to be working? Have you done the laundry? Did you chop the firewood? Have you hoed the grass at the back mountain?”
“Master Miao Jun, I’ll go right away. I’ll go right now.”
Yu Niang put down the child in her arms and wiped the tears off her face as she prepared to leave.
Looking at the frightened Yu Niang, Yu Min couldn’t stop cursing the fierce, bald nun in her heart.
No matter the ancient or modern world, the monk and the priest were respectable and benevolent figures. She had not expected herself to meet an evil nun the moment she opened her eyes.
“Why are you still standing there? Waiting for a kick to keep you moving? We provided you food and lodging, and you did nothing to repay us other than lazing around.”
Yu Niang lowered her head and walked out of the door after a moment of thought, although she intended to protest earlier.
“Why aren’t you moving? Believe me when I say I’ll hit you, you lazy thing?”
Master Miao Jun glanced at the sickly person holding on to Yu Niang’s sleeves. She sneered at both of them before she slapped Yu Niang on her back.
Yu Niang let out a muffled groan after being hit. Since she braced herself for the blow, she only swayed a little.
She loosened her young mistress’s grip on her sleeves and caressed her face as she stood to leave.
“Young mistress, wait for me to come back.”
Yu Min finally realized that Yu Niang was her wet nurse.
She looked at Yu Niang’s similarly withered and weak face and whispered, “Yu Niang, I’ll wait for you.”
Yu Min clenched her fists as she watched Yu Niang wipe away her tears and rush out.
It was how the scene of the nun bullying daughters from well-to-do families that had fallen from grace played out.
However, she was still too young and too weak. She had no way of protesting against the evil nun for now. So she could only let Yu Niang suffer.
Master Miao Jun immediately stopped scolding after throwing the sickly little girl who glared at her earlier a sideways glance. All the curse words she was about to spill remained in her throat.
Mr. Yu visited their temple a few days ago and donated a handsome amount for the upkeeping of the temple. He even hired a doctor to treat this sickly little girl.
She would have to put up with this sickly girl and monitor Mr. Yu’s treatment towards this estranged daughter he had ignored all these years. She would have the chance to torture this little mistress when the time came.
“Just you wait, sick girl…”
Master Miao Jun couldn’t help scolding when she looked at the sickly little girl, who lowered her head in fear after glaring at her.
Left alone in the shack, Yu Min could finally calm down and think about her bizarre time travel experience.
Her real name was Yu Min, but she knew nothing of the person whose body she occupied when she transported through time and space.
She descended from a long family line of ancient martial arts masters but disliked martial art and preferred medicine and business despite being highly intelligent and a rare genius in the family. So she fell out with her family and went out into the world on her own.
She worked all kinds of jobs and learned many skills for the past ten years. Finally, she built her business empire with her ability and was well known as the prettiest CEO in the business world because of her beauty.
Yu Min touched her face at the thought of this. She had no idea how this person looked. Was she ugly?
Judging from the poor state they were in, they could not have possibly owned a mirror. There was no need for her to waste her energy getting out of bed too.
She sighed. No matter how she used to look like, even a celestial being could not withstand such destruction.
But no matter what, since she was already here, she would take things as it comes. Since she was dead in her original world, being reborn into this body was still a gift from heaven to live again.
Forget it.
She would need to find out more about the identity and background of this person she was in when Yu Niang returned. Then, she would be able to plan for their future.
Her stomach rumbled again at this thought.
After considering the situation, she resigned to her fate and picked up the moldy bun lying by her side. She nibbled at it.
