Finally My True Self(1)

After the arrow incident, no one from the archery class dared to mock or bully Lu Fang Xiu anymore, but the rumors didn't stop.

Lu Fang Xiu was rumored to be very ugly and disgusting. In one day, the ninth princess was famous throughout the whole academy.

Fu Shun and Kun Ju were itching to kill the despicable people who dared to badmouth their mistress, but Lu Fang Xiu had ordered them to not do anything rash.

But it wasn't just Fu Shun and Kun Ju who were angered. All of Lu Fang Xiu's siblings were boiling.

They had to keep their image or it would cause more trouble for Lu Fang Xiu. If not for that, they would have beaten up those people till they wish they were dead.

Lu Fang Xiu didn't know what was happening and she didn't bother knowing. Li Yin was also mad, but he had to worry about his mistress instead.

Lu Fang Xiu may be intelligent, but even though she were a leader of a team and a girlfriend in her past life, she is very dense and abnormally unknowledgeable about human emotions.

Lu Fang Xiu can see it when others are in love or in hate, but she can't detect or understand any human emotions towards herself other than hate. Because of the way she died and lived.

Bai Fang Xiu lived quite a secluded life actually, but it all changed when she met Jin Cheng. He took her and Li Yin to the Association and they made her the ultimate weapon. They were afraid she would destroy them and you know the rest.

...

Lu Fang Xiu went home with her siblings after the last lesson. Which was history. They were all quiet because Lu Fang Xiu had fallen asleep.

Lu Xian Yun and Lu Han Chen were the two who were raging inside the most. Lu Xian Yun and his mother were good friends and close with the late empress and Lu Fang Xiu.

Lu Han Chen was close to Lu Fang Xiu in age and she was the only one younger than him. He felt that he had to protect her like an older brother should.

Of course, the other siblings were angry, but they knew better than acting too quick.

...

When they got to the imperial palace they went to the pavilion. Where Lu Gang Qiang sat and drank tea while listening to reports.

Lu Fang Xiu was stroking Li Yin when walking to Lu Gang Qiang. «Father.» When he heard her, he turned around and smiled dotingly.

«Xiu'er! How was the rest of the school?» Lu Fang Xiu couldn't help but care for this body's father. He was the ruler of a country but still acted like this.

Lu Fang Xiu smiled under her veil and answer. «It was fine father. Xiu'er is a little tired and will excuse herself and return home.» She curtsies and walks out gracefully with Li Yin in her arms.

After Lu Fang Xiu left, Lu Gang Qiang began to explain different problems and issues to the rest of the siblings. They may be his children, but they are also this country's princes and princesses.

While Lu Gang Qiang gave them information, Lu Fang Xiu was reading books in her room about herbs and plants.

She had ordered Fu Shun and Kun Ju to find a room which was well hidden and close enough to her room, so she could get to it fast.

There they would place a cauldron, pill furnace and other things written on a list she made for them in the room.

They didn't understand why their mistress needed all this but didn't ask since they knew she had changed much after the poison-incident.

Lu Fang Xiu got to know that there were five secret rooms and two escape routes in her room. Three of them were empty while two of them had things in.

One was filled with treasures and taels and liangs. The other one was filled with foods that never seemed to rot or get worse.

* Taels: Gold coins

* Liang: Silver coins

The three empty rooms were all in different sizes. The biggest one was big enough to squeeze in a million people.

The middle was like a hall, while the smallest was just a little smaller than Lu Fang Xiu's room. She chose the smallest one for them to work at.

Lu Fang Xiu was delighted when she found out about the secret rooms and escape routes. She already had plans for the biggest "room".

The middle one had a connection to the biggest, which were perfect for Lu Fang Xiu's plans.

Lu Fang Xiu closed her book and looked at the sun. It was almost dinnertime. Today she wants to eat outside.

Every day she would usually eat dinner with some of her siblings, but since she had been weak she hadn't gotten permission to move out of her bed or room so much.

Lu Fang Xiu knew from the former owner's memory that the siblings who had time would come to her Àomì palace to eat dinner with her.

Kun Ju and Fu Shun came out of the herb room. «Princess we're finished.» Lu Fang Xiu nod and stand up from her chair. She put the book down on the table.

Lu Fang Xiu make sign for them to follow and begin to walk out of the room. When she made her way to the garden, a maid run and whisper in Kun Ju's ear.

«Princess, Guo Jia wangye and Ki Huan wangye have arrived to eat dinner.» Lu Fang Xiu nod.

* Wangye or Wang means prince. Can be used on people who are declared Prince of the emperor.

«Let them in and show them to the garden. I want to eat outside.» They nod. Fu Shun went to get the wangyes while Kun Ju walks with Lu Fang Xiu to the garden.

The maid went to the kitchen and told then the princess wanted to eat in the garden.

Lu Xian Yun and Lu Han Chen followed Fu Shun to the garden. Lu Gang Qiang had sent them to have I mm dinner with Lu Fang Xiu.

He had not given them any work and since it has been a long time since they had dinner with Lu Fang Xiu, he decided that they would have dinner with her.

And he was a little(very) worried about her behavior and powers. She had changed so much after the poison-incident.

He wanted to make sure she was alright. He was, of course, happy that she finally grew up, but it just happened too fast.

Lu Xian Yun and Lu Han Chen understood his worries and agreed at once since they were a little(very) worried themselves.

When they came to the garden they were both surprised and happy. Usually, Lu Fang Xiu would eat inside or in the pavilion.

Mostly because of the cold. Lu Fang Xiu would get cold easily. And she didn't like to wear a veil while eating.

Lu Fang Xiu did wear a veil, but it had an opening for her mouth and mouth only.

Lu Fang Xiu smile at them and wave her hand for them to come. Lu Xian Yun and Lu Han Chen smile and walk to her.

«Yun gege and Chen gege are eating with me today.» Lu Fang Xiu didn't know if she acted or not but knew that this was not her real self.

Lu Fang Xiu knew she acted, but she felt that it wasn't just acting. She felt genuinely happy that they would eat dinner with her.

Soon the food came and Lu Fang Xiu's favorites were placed near her. She usually didn't eat much, but that was the past Lu Fang Xiu.

The new Lu Fang Xiu were planning to get strong, and in order to become strong, a person needs to eat.

Lu Xian Yun and Lu Han Chen were surprised to see Lu Fang Xiu eat so much. They had seen her eat when they visited Lu Gang Qiang when they were small.

When their other siblings talked about dinner with her, they usually say she almost doesn't touch the food too.

«Has Yun gege and Chen gege had a nice day at school?» They were pulled back to reality by Lu Fang Xiu's question.

They both smile and began to eat. «Of course, now that our favorite meimei is attending.» Lu Han Chen took a steamed bun and blew carefully on it.

«He's right. Our favorite meimei is attending the Jade academy. How can it be anything else than great.» Lu Xian Yun smiled as he began to eat some fish.

Lu Fang Xiu knew that something was off, but thought it was personal and didn't bother asking. Everyone has something they don't want to share.
