Traveling through time and space to become a lady of a noble family, but she only wants to escape

"Miss, please wake up...Miss..."

Bai Zhi was woken up by a sharp cry. She rubbed her eyes and looked at the girl who was lying beside her bed and crying her heart out.

“Miss? Miss, you’re awake, Miss!” When the girl saw Bai Zhi wake up, she burst into tears and cried, “Wuwuwu, I thought you would never wake up, Miss… Wuwuwu… Someone come! Miss… No, the Third Madam is awake! Someone come!”

Bai Zhi hadn't fully woken up yet, and the girl's yelling made her head throb even more. She couldn't help but say, "Okay, stop crying."

The five words that came out were quite hoarse and were completely covered by the girl's voice.

The girl howled for a while but no one came, so she simply ran outside to call for help.

The sharp voice was getting farther and farther away, and Bai Zhi's ears finally quieted down. She rubbed her head and realized belatedly - what did that girl call her? Miss? What kind of cosplay was this?

Baizhi sat up and wanted to pour some water, but saw unfamiliar furnishings all around.

It was a dark, shabby little house with dust floating in the air. The house was bare except for a broken wooden table with a broken leg and a stone base, two paint-chip stools beside it, a large wooden box, and the creaking bed under her.

Bai Zhi was in a trance for a moment and closed her eyes to recall what happened before she went to sleep.

I remember working overtime for more than ten days straight, until late at night every day. Finally, I worked so much that my heart started to tighten and I had difficulty breathing. I called 120 to save my life, and then I vaguely heard someone put me on a stretcher, swaying along the way, and finally being pushed into the emergency room... I vaguely heard words like death from overwork...

Death from overwork! Bai Zhi suddenly opened her eyes wide. I wonder if I have traveled through time after death!

Before she could accept the fact that she was dead, a woman came in from outside the door, shouting, "Madam San, you're awake! Oh, I was so worried!"

The young girl behind followed suit and sobbed, "Our little... Third Madam is blessed with a great fortune!"

Bai Zhi heard the girl's howling so much that her ears hurt, so she quickly reached out and held her hand to show her that it was okay to stop crying. As she held her hand, a strange memory suddenly flooded into her mind.

It turned out that the owner of this body was also named Bai Zhi. She was the least favored concubine's daughter of the Bai family, a wealthy merchant in the capital. Last month, her family sold her to the third son of the Xuanping Marquis Gu family for a high price of two thousand taels of gold. She had just gotten married three days ago.

The third son of the Gu family, whose full name is Gu Yan, nicknamed Gu Keqi, had married two wives, both of whom died mysteriously within three days of their wedding. Therefore, no prominent family in the capital dared to push their daughters into this fire pit; people of low status were willing to take risks to seek wealth and fame, but the Gu family looked down on them.

Madam Gu's hair turned white with worry, and she simply announced to the whole capital: If any wealthy family is willing to marry their daughter to my third son, I will give you a large betrothal gift as well as a huge fortune!

There will always be brave men when there is a big reward. People signed up one after another. Finally, Old Madam Gu picked Bai Zhi, whose birth date and horoscope were most compatible with Old Third Gu.

Who would have known that on the wedding day, the Bai family raised the price to two thousand taels and threatened that they would not marry unless they paid.

The wedding invitations have been sent out. Wouldn't it be ridiculous to say that the wedding can't be held at this time? Madam Gu had no choice but to grit her teeth and pay the money.

The dignified mansion was fooled like this. There were many people in the Gu Mansion who disliked Bai Zhi. Even her husband had not been seen until now, and he did not show up on the wedding night. The Bai family treated her like spilled water and told her not to return. Her parents did not love her, and her husband's family did not love her. Finally, this morning, someone took advantage of Bai Zhi's relaxation in the garden and pushed her into the lotus pond from behind.

Bai Zhi shook her head vigorously. In her previous life, she chased fame and fortune and followed her boss around, but ended up dying from overwork. She hadn't had a good vacation for several years in her lifetime. She didn't know who would benefit from the money she couldn't take with her after her death. Since God allowed her to live again, she would truly live for herself.

Bai Zhi wanted to get away from this rotten mansion and go to the vast world to live a happy life!

The girl saw Bai Zhi holding her hand tightly and shaking her head back and forth like a crazy old man in the market, and she was so scared that she broke into a cold sweat and started crying again: "Miss, what's wrong with you? Miss, don't scare me, Miss!"

Bai Zhi was brought back to life by this shout. According to the original owner's memory, the girl in front of her was named Qiaoqiao, and she was her maidservant. The woman next to her was Concubine Song from the first house. The original owner had seen her yesterday when she went to pay respects to the first house, and they had no interaction.

Bai Zhi comforted her, "I'm fine, Qiaoqiao, don't cry."

Turning around, he smiled at Aunt Song and said, "Thank you Aunt Song for your concern. I'm fine."

Qiaoqiao started crying again after hearing this: "Miss, the doctor just felt your pulse and said that you were beyond help. I was so scared!"

Aunt Song immediately followed up, "Yes, yes, Third Madam, I heard from the doctor that you were dead, but now you are alive again. God is really watching over you. Third Madam, do you remember who pushed you into the lotus pond this morning?"

Before Bai Zhi could reply, Qiaoqiao interrupted, "How can Aunt Song be so sure that the Third Madam was pushed overboard, and not accidentally fell into the water?"

After hearing this, Aunt Song said awkwardly, "This is... This is just my guess."

Bai Zhi noticed that something was not right between the two of them, so she exchanged a few words with Aunt Song and sent her out.

She pulled Qiaoqiao closer and asked in a low voice: "Qiaoqiao, do you have something else to say?"

Qiaoqiao pursed her lips and spoke reluctantly: "Miss, I'm afraid that telling you this will make you sad."

Bai Zhi took a deep breath and said, "Speak."

Although she didn't really want to hear about the mess in the Marquis' Mansion, it was most likely related to her hard-earned life, so she had to listen to it even if she didn't want to.

"I saw it with my own eyes that it was Concubine Song who pushed you in!" Qiaoqiao lowered her voice, her face wrinkled with anger, "When you fell into the water, I happened to be going to bring you a cloak. I saw Concubine Song push you into the water from a distance, and then she ran away. I was afraid that I had seen it wrong. Just now, after you woke up, I went around looking for a doctor, and Concubine Song suddenly jumped out and said she wanted to come and see you. I couldn't stop her. Isn't this just trying to cover up the truth..."

Qiaoqiao gnashed her teeth and said, "I was afraid that Concubine Song was holding her fart in. She didn't even bother to find a doctor and just followed me here." Then she started crying, "It's all my fault. I heard that the third master was unlucky in marriage, so I should have followed the young lady everywhere. If anything happens to the young lady, I will go with her... wuwuwu..."
