The crazy daily life of the mistress

Chapter 196 There is nothing in the first place

On the other hand, Lu Hui chose to retire to the mountains and live a free life like a wild crane. In addition to practicing in seclusion, she would sit in the courtyard, sipping tea and appreciating flowers, recalling the beautiful moments of the past.

However, such a peaceful and comfortable life did not last long. At noon one day, a mysterious man covered in a black robe suddenly visited Lu Hui's residence. This man claimed to be a special envoy of the court, and came to convey the emperor's will - foreign tribes on the border are ready to move, the border is in danger, and the people are suffering! The emperor begged Lu Hui to return to the world and defend the country.

Hearing this news, Lu Hui couldn't help but frown and fell into deep thought. In fact, many years ago, after experiencing countless life-and-death battles, she was extremely tired of fighting and killing. But now that the country is in crisis, how can she ignore it? After hesitating again and again, Lu Hui finally made up her mind and was willing to put on the armor again and devote herself to the country and the people!

After arriving at the front, Lu Hui immediately showed her extraordinary military talent. She arranged the troops and deployed them in a proper way; she was able to predict the situation and win the battle thousands of miles away. Facing the enemy's fierce and brutal attacks, she was always able to respond calmly, turn danger into safety, and deal a heavy blow to the enemy. The children who followed Lu Hui to the battle also grew up rapidly under the baptism of this cruel and fierce war, and transformed into capable battlefield warriors and Lu Hui's most trusted and reliable right-hand men.

After a long and arduous battle, the dawn of victory finally came. Lu Hui and her children made great contributions to the country and were respected and loved by the people.

The war finally subsided, but the wounds it brought were difficult to heal. Lu Hui looked at the devastated land, her heart filled with endless sadness and exhaustion. She knew the cruelty and helplessness of war, and also understood that peace was hard to come by. So, she resolutely chose to retreat to the mountains and forests, away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

In that quiet valley, Lu Hui found a quiet place and built a simple hut. Here, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the birds are singing, and the flowers are fragrant, just like a paradise. Every morning, the sun shines in front of the window, and the breeze blows the leaves. Everything is so beautiful and peaceful. Lu Hui lived a self-sufficient life here, growing vegetables and flowers, reading books and drinking tea, enjoying the gifts given by nature.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, decades have passed, and the once high-spirited female general is now gray-haired. However, that magnificent experience is always hidden deep in her heart, becoming an indelible memory in her life. Occasionally, in the dead of night, those scenes of war would appear in front of her, making her feel deeply moved.

One day many years later, a young and promising general came here because he heard that a famous and legendary female general once lived here, so he made a special trip to pay her a visit. After a difficult journey, the general finally arrived at this mysterious valley. When he found the place where Lu Hui used to live, he was surprised to find that it had already turned into a ruin, with only broken walls telling of its former glory.

The general refused to give up and began to look for any clues about Lu Hui. His efforts paid off, and he finally found Lu Hui's name and a short inscription on a dilapidated stone tablet: "After success, I will retire and return to the dust; peace will last forever, and my wish will be fulfilled." These sixteen short words fully expressed Lu Hui's lifelong pursuit and belief. The general stared at the inscription and couldn't help crying. He deeply understood the greatness and selflessness of this female general and respected her with awe.

In order to let more people know about Lu Hui's heroic deeds, the general decided to pass on this history. After returning to the capital, he told the story of Lu Hui everywhere. People were moved by her spirit and expressed their admiration and remembrance for this heroine.

From then on, every Qingming Festival, groups of people would come to this valley, holding flowers in their hands, to pay tribute to the heroine who saved the country. They mourned in front of the ruins, remembering Lu Hui's great achievements. And Lu Hui's name, like the brightest star in the night sky, will always shine in people's hearts.

Lu Hui woke up slowly, looking at the ceiling with confused eyes, feeling that everything was so unreal, as if everything she had just experienced was just a dream.

Could it be that the thrilling scene that consumed so much energy was really just an illusory dream?

But if this is true, what does this dream mean? Is there any mystery or foreshadowing hidden in it?

Full of doubts, she slowly sat up, looked around, and found that the dawn was already breaking outside the window and the sky was bright.

"Xiaoju!" she called softly.

Before he finished speaking, a woman rushed into the house and said, "Second Miss, you are finally awake!"

Second Miss? Hearing this title, Lu Hui was stunned. Although she was indeed the second child in name, she had always regarded herself as the eldest daughter over the years. Why did Xiaolan suddenly call herself the Second Miss?

Something is wrong! After a closer look, the person in front of him was clearly Xiaolan, Lu Yi's personal maid. So the one who called out just now should have been Xiaoju.

Lu Hui was filled with doubts, frowning, and asked in confusion: "Xiao Lan? Why are you here? Where did Xiao Ju go?"

Xiaolan also looked at her suspiciously, her face full of confusion, and responded: "Second Miss, what's wrong with you? Xiaoju is the eldest lady's personal maid, so naturally I have to serve the eldest lady. And as your slave, I should accompany you and wait by your side."

Lu Hui's heart suddenly trembled, and an ominous premonition surged into her mind like a tide, instantly surrounding her entire body.

She hurriedly got up from the bed, staggered to the mirror, and when she looked carefully, she saw Lu Yi's familiar yet unfamiliar face reflected in front of her.

She actually turned into Lu Yi!

Lu Hui's eyes widened with astonishment and disbelief, as if she had seen the most incredible thing in the world. She stretched out her fingers tremblingly and gently touched her cheek, trying to feel the strange touch.

What on earth had happened? Her thoughts were tangled and confused like a tangled mess. Countless questions were circling in her mind, but she could not find a reasonable answer.

Could it really be because of that extremely strange dream? However, this kind of thing is too absurd and ridiculous... However, now that things have come to this, she feels that the most urgent thing is to find out the current situation first.

So, Lu Hui got out of bed without hesitation, quickly put on her clothes, and hurriedly left the room.

In the long and dark corridor, she happened to run into a busy servant. When the servant saw Lu Hui, he immediately stopped what he was doing, bowed to her respectfully, and addressed Lu Hui as "Second Miss".

At this moment, Lu Hui's guess about her own situation was increasingly confirmed, so she involuntarily quickened her pace and walked straight towards the room where Xiaolan was.

"Xiaolan, tell me quickly what happened? Why did I become Lu Yi when I woke up?" As soon as she stepped into Xiaolan's room, Lu Hui couldn't wait to ask, her words full of anxiety and confusion.

Faced with such a question, Xiaolan was confused. She murmured to herself: "Second Miss, are you confused after sleeping? You have always been our second lady."

Lu Hui was stunned. She realized that Xiaolan didn't know the truth.

Perhaps, only by finding the mysterious court envoy can this mystery be solved.

She secretly made up her mind to uncover the secret and find her true self.

Lu Hui searched for the imperial envoy in the mansion but found nothing. She decided to go out and find out if there was any clue about her life experience.

That day, Lu Hui disguised herself as a man and sneaked out of the house. She went to the busiest market in the city and asked around for the whereabouts of the imperial envoy.

By chance, she heard a group of people talking. When she got closer, she found out that they were talking about a mysterious woman who had appeared in the city recently. It was said that she had extraordinary skills and helped the people solve many problems.

Lu Hui was shocked. Could this mysterious woman be the special envoy sent by the court? With full of suspicion, she hurriedly followed the direction pointed by everyone. As expected, she saw a figure in front of her from a distance. The back of the figure was exactly the same as hers!
