Everyone Wants to Pamper the Lucky Daughter

Chapter 2: Stealthily Substituted

Translator: Vicky_

The hall was full of joy and laughter. Nobody noticed that a sneaky figure carrying a basket sneaked out of the house through the back door and got into the single carriage that had stopped at the door.

Crack!

In the darkness, a light whip sounded, and the horse pulling the cart panted, raised its front hooves, and dashed forward.

The carriage ran fast in the silent street, the clattering of horses’ hooves made people fretful, and the servant in the carriage with a basket could not help but shiver.

“Young Miss, don’t blame me for being so cruel. It’s Mrs. Xue’s fault. She can’t tolerate the fact that your mother got a daughter and would be rewarded greatly. Therefore, she sent people to detain my parents and siblings and forced me to do this to you.”

The carriage flew to the southwest gate of Jing City. The coachman showed the token of the Duke to the guards and left the city smoothly. The carriage continued to run along the southward government-financed road.

At dawn, the carriage was tens of miles away from Jing City and stopped at the Wei River, which flew from north to south across The Qilian Mountains. The servant shivered and jumped out of the carriage with the basket in her arms. At the urging of the coachman, she went closer to the river step by step.

“Young Miss, I am sorry. I am guilty. I will be your faithful servant in my next life to make up for my crime in this life.”

The servant held the basket tightly, but she couldn’t be so cruel. She did not want to drown the baby herself. She put the basket in the water and let it float away when the coachman wasn’t looking at her.

Swish!

Two arrows were shot in the mountain forest along the pipeline. In the blink of an eye, the coachman and the servant were both killed by arrows and fell to the ground.

Two masked men in black came out of the mountain forest, threw the body of the carter into the river, cut off the shaft, pulled back the horse, and lit the carriage. The two people cleaned the spot quickly and looked at each other. After that, they jumped on horseback and rushed into the mountain forest.

The baby girl kept crying.

In the basket drifting downstream along the Wei River, there was a soft cry of a baby. The little girl wrapped in a quilt was listening to the sound of flowing water, pouting her mouth and rubbing her empty stomach with tearful eyes.

“Well, my poor Master. You actually met an unreliable couple just after reincarnation. They didn’t even know that their daughter had been stealthily substituted.”

The little girl’s eyebrows flashed with gold, and a fluffy baby bird just as big as a palm appeared in the basket.

The little bird suddenly blinked its black eyes, looked down at the tearful baby girl, who was its master and felt really sorry.

Its little master must be hungry. There were no people nearby. Where could it get her some milk to drink?

“E-i-e-i.”

When the baby girl saw the baby bird, her eyes lit up with tears. She removed her pink hands from the quilt and gently stroked the bird’s feathers.

Although she was just born, too young to speak, the little bird still heard the meaning of her unique baby language.

“Don’t worry, master. There seems to be a small village on the river bank in front of us. I will control the basket and float along the river. Maybe we can find a suitable family.”

“Cluck, cluck, cluck.”

The baby girl understood the meaning of the bird. Then there was a smile on her pink face, which looked really lovely.

“Oh, my poor Master.”

The little bird looked down at the little pink face of her Master and complained for a long time.

“You are born into the Duke’s family and should have lived a wealthy and happy life. However, your parents are not reliable. I don’t know which poor family will adopt you. And also, I don’t know what your future will be like.”

“E-i-e-i.”

The little baby girl understood the complaint of the bird. Then she used her pink and tender hands to gently stroke the bird’s feathers as if she was comforting the bird.

Since it was God’s will, she should just accept it.
