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

Baizhi slept until noon the next day.

The weather was excellent today, sunny and breezy, so Gu Yan ordered Ming Xin to open all the doors and windows for ventilation. The scorching sun shone directly on Bai Zhi from the clouds, waking her up from the heat.

Qiaoqiao had been waiting by the bed since early morning. When she saw Baizhi open her eyes, she immediately howled, "Miss! You finally woke up! Does your body still hurt?"

Bai Zhi tried to move her hands and feet. The places where she was beaten yesterday were now sore, painful, numb and stiff. They were several times more uncomfortable than yesterday and she was grimacing in pain.

Seeing Bai Zhi's expression, Qiaoqiao was so anxious that she broke out in a sweat: "Miss, what's wrong with you? Miss! Mingxin! Third Master!"

Bai Zhi reached out her hand tremblingly and grabbed Qiaoqiao: "Qiaoqiao, you won't die, don't worry, you just feel sore all over, it will be fine after a few days. Don't howl anymore, or I'm going to go deaf."

Qiaoqiao scratched the back of her head somewhat embarrassedly: "Hey, I forgot that Mingxin and the third master went to the old lady's place."

Bai Zhi sat up suddenly, touching the bruises on her body, and then slowly lay back down, asking anxiously, "Did the old lady ask Gu Yan to come over?"

When this matter was mentioned, Qiaoqiao suddenly became dispirited and stammered, "Miss, I seem to have said too much. Yesterday, I asked the Third Master to help you vent your anger. The Third Master took Mingxin to the old lady's place early this morning... It seems that he went to help you vent your anger."

Bai Zhi pondered for a while, and suddenly changed to a relaxed tone: "It's none of your business, Qiaoqiao. Gu Yan has a good brain and won't act impulsively after hearing a few words from you. He must be sure of it."

Qiaoqiao finally felt relieved: "That's good, Miss. After this, I'll tell the Madam to never act rashly again!"

Bai Zhi raised her hands in front of her, clenched them and opened them. The original owner's ten fingers were as slender as green onions, but they were too pale and thin, and lacked strength, quite like a dead person.

"Qiaoqiao, I remember you said I had fair skin yesterday."

Qiaoqiao perked up: "That's right, Miss. You have loved reading since you were a child. You always stay in the house and rarely walk outside. You look as white as a piece of mutton-fat jade."

Bai Zhi propped herself up and said, "Qiaoqiao, move a recliner to the yard. I want to bask in the sun."

Qiaoqiao's eyes almost popped out: "Miss, it's a sunny day today. What should I do if I get tanned like a coal ball?"

"Get more sun to keep your bones strong, so why should you be afraid of black coal balls?" Bai Zhi said firmly, "If I fell down now, the eldest lady would laugh to death."

Qiaoqiao thought about it and nodded: "Okay! I'll listen to you, Miss!"

This was the scene that Gu Yan saw when he brought Ming Xin back to Yishui Garden—Bai Zhi was sprawled out on a recliner basking in the sun, with Qiao Qiao standing beside her, fanning her.

Gu Yan walked to the recliner and said, "Madam, you are so happy."

Bai Zhi was originally feeling warm in the sun, but when Gu Yan came over, he blocked all the sun. She waved her hand to push Gu Yan away and said, "Don't block me from the sun."

Gu Yan laughed and stood on the other side without hesitation: "Madam, don't you want to know what your husband has gained from this trip?"

Bai Zhi asked him, "Tell me about it."

Gu Yan dismissed Qiaoqiao and Mingxin, took the fan and fanned Baizhi slowly: "According to your explanation, I went to Old Madam Gu to seek justice. It was said that the Third Madam was injured and sick due to the beating the night before yesterday, and she has been unable to get out of bed. I claimed that I wanted to find the First Madam to confront her face to face, but Old Madam Gu changed the subject."

Bai Zhi rolled her eyes at him and said, "Can this be called a harvest?"

"Madam Gu treats you as an outsider, so she will definitely believe what I say. Now you and I are on the same page. No matter what Madam Gu says openly, the seeds of suspicion have been planted. Your accusation yesterday was not in vain."

"Come to think of it, I felt something was wrong yesterday. Madam Gu is a first-rank imperial lady, is she too afraid of Ge Zhen?"

"Old Madam Gu is determined to protect the First Madam, firstly for the reputation of the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion, and secondly for the influence of the First Madam's mother's family. The aristocratic families in the capital are intertwined and difficult to untie. They want to use Old Madam Gu to drive the First Madam out, unless they can provide evidence that the First Madam is unfavorable to the Marquis' Mansion."

Bai Zhi narrowed her eyes and said, "So it's the same old trick again. I thought Madam Gu was caught committing adultery with someone by Ge Zhen."

Gu Yan laughed so hard that his fan almost hit Bai Zhi's face.

Bai Zhi was afraid of getting another injury, so she grabbed the fan and fanned herself: "Old Madam Gu doesn't like me anyway, so even if I'm beaten half to death, it's no big deal to her. Judging from Old Madam Gu's personality, the rank of the Marquis in her heart is far higher than yours. I think your seed is sown in vain and will never sprout."

Gu Yan laughed softly and said, "The rest depends on you to water and fertilize. In the eyes of Madam Gu, Marquis Xuanping, the First Madam, me and you are far less important than the safety of Marquis Xuanping's mansion... That's why she raised Marquis Xuanping to be such a fool who can't accomplish anything great and can't make any big mistakes."

Bai Zhi fanned slowly, "It's hard for me to even move a finger now. I'm afraid I can't water or fertilize it."

After being reminded, Gu Yan suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to say something: "Oh, because you went out yesterday, I only left a spy to guard the study, and the eldest lady took advantage of the opportunity to frame you. This is my fault. I made new arrangements last night. Only Changfeng will protect you secretly, and the rest of the people will go back to guard Yishui Garden."

Bai Zhi was shocked: "You actually sent so many people to follow me! Why did I get beaten like this!"

Gu Yan felt guilty: "I reminded Changfeng again yesterday about this matter. It will not happen again in the future."

Speaking of Changfeng, Bai Zhi suddenly remembered what she asked Changfeng to do yesterday: "By the way, I asked Changfeng to cut off a few heads and send them to Ge Zhen yesterday. Did you place spies in the main room?"

"According to Changfeng, the eldest lady only glanced at it briefly and told the maid to take the bag and throw it to the back hill. She may have found out that her assassination attempt on you failed, so she tried to frame you."

"The Marquis' wife is not afraid of being killed. She is really ruthless." Bai Zhi sighed from the bottom of her heart, "She is really determined to achieve her goal. If she used this energy to make money, she would have become the richest person in Beijing long ago."

Gu Yan glanced at her: "Are you scared?"

"I'm afraid of her?" Bai Zhi's voice was raised three times louder by this sentence. "Would I be afraid of her? I told her to be afraid of me! When my injury heals, I will make her know what it means to regret it! Let her have nightmares in the middle of the night and dream that I came to punish her. In the dream, she will kneel in front of me with tears and drool and beg me to spare her!"

Bai Zhi became more and more excited as she spoke, almost jumping up. Gu Yan put out the fire at the right time: "You don't have to deal with her for this month. Just take care of your health and think about how to make her have nightmares every night."

Bai Zhi took three deep breaths and lay back down on her back.
