Bai Zhi understood in her heart that the rumor that the third son of the Gu family was unlucky in marriage must be related to this concubine Song.

But why did she do these things? Did she have a grudge against Gu Lao San?

Qiaoqiao was still crying. Baizhi heard the sound of several people outside the door walking towards the dilapidated house, so she quickly told Qiaoqiao to be quiet.

"Third sister-in-law, I was so worried. You are really a lucky person. I brought a doctor for you, come and take a look." A woman in luxurious clothes hurried in, followed by a maid and a white-bearded old man.

Bai Zhi tried hard to match the person in front of her with the person in her memory: "Thank you for making this trip, sister-in-law. I'm fine now."

"As the saying goes, illness comes like a mountain falling, and goes away like a thread being pulled out, let alone this time we are walking through the gates of hell." Madam Ge said firmly, "Doctor Zhao, please take a good look at my third brother's wife."

Doctor Zhao looked to be over 70 years old. He tremblingly put his hand on Bai Zhi's wrist and said, "Madam San is fine now, but she needs to rest for a while."

"Your life is no longer in danger?" Mrs. Ge repeated. "That's good news. Third sister-in-law, I'll ask Doctor Zhao to write a prescription and ask the kitchen to boil a dose of medicine to strengthen your body. You must take the medicine well and rest well."

Bai Zhi noticed Doctor Zhao's body tremble.

She smiled wryly and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law. I will drink up all the medicine without leaving a drop."

Mrs. Ge said happily, "Then I won't disturb your peace. Third sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, ask the maid to report to the first room. We are a family now, so please don't be polite."

Baizhi said a few nice words perfunctorily and asked Qiaoqiao to ask Ge to leave.

After Ge left, Bai Zhi stretched her muscles a little, but felt that she had no strength anywhere. Her limbs were soft as tofu, her chest felt tight, and the back of her head was throbbing with pain.

Bai Zhi tried to stand up slowly by holding the edge of the bed, stretched herself, and did a few chest expansion exercises, but she suddenly felt dizzy and fell back onto the bed.

"Miss!" Qiaoqiao hurried over to support Baizhi, "Miss, what's wrong with you, Miss!"

Baizhi slowly opened her eyes and gradually focused on Qiaoqiao's little face which was filled with worry.

Bai Zhi sighed: "Qiaoqiao, the Marquis' Mansion is full of murderous intentions."

Qiaoqiao seemed to understand: "Miss, are you talking about Aunt Song? Don't worry, Miss. I will never leave your side and will never let her harm you again."

Bai Zhi used some strength to raise her hand and touched Qiaoqiao's hair: "Qiaoqiao, you have been with me for ten years."

Qiaoqiao nodded: "Including this year, Qiaoqiao has been serving the young lady for ten years."

Bai Zhi asked again: "Does that mean you will follow me no matter what I do?"

Qiaoqiao nodded vigorously: "Even if the young lady wants to go to heaven or hell, Qiaoqiao will never leave her side."

Bai Zhi nodded and whispered:

"That's what I want you to say."

"Let's run away, Qiaoqiao."

"Running away?" Qiaoqiao exclaimed in a low voice, "Are you going to divorce, Miss?"

Bai Zhi shook her head: "It's not a divorce. Let's not talk about whether it can be a divorce. After the divorce, we have to go back to the Bai family. Isn't that like moving shit out of piss? We escape from the mansion in the dark night and fly far away to a place where no one can find us."

"Miss," Qiaoqiao was about to cry, "If we run away, the Marquis' Mansion will complain to the Emperor, and the soldiers will search the whole world for us. Where can we run? Can we hide in the ground?"

Bai Zhi's eyes almost popped out of her head: "Wait, are you going to report this to the Emperor? I don't think that's necessary!"

Qiaoqiao said anxiously, "How could it be possible, young lady? The old marquis once helped the emperor suppress the rebellion of King Jing, and was highly valued by the emperor. Although the old marquis has been buried, his ancestors have brought blessings to his descendants. Now this marquis is a waste, and he would rather go to the old lady to complain if he beats someone up outside and hurts his hands! If the marquis knew that his brother and sister-in-law ran away, how could he resist going to the emperor to complain!"

Bai Zhi took a deep breath and thought, damn, there is an emperor blocking the road to freedom. Isn’t this a bit too difficult?

After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi looked at Qiao Qiao quietly and said, "Someone in the Marquis' Mansion is trying every means to kill me. It's easy to block an open attack, but it's hard to defend against an arrow from behind. I'm going to die here. It's better to escape and try to survive."

Qiaoqiao scratched her head, looked at Baizhi from left to right and said, "Miss, you seem a little different from before."

That’s for sure, your lady has changed her mind, Bai Zhi muttered to herself.

"Qiaoqiao, I have escaped death, and I have thought a lot of things through." Bai Zhi was too lazy to pretend to be the original owner, "From now on, you should forget about the old lady."

Qiaoqiao thought for a moment and nodded heavily: "No matter what, I will always follow you, Miss."

Baizhi sent Qiaoqiao out, but Qiaoqiao was unwilling to stay too far away, so she simply went to the door to guard it.

As soon as the door closed, Bai Zhi scratched her hair. She had just come back to life and was forced to face this mess. Her brain, which had been trying to stay awake, was now severely overloaded and her brain was swollen.

Bai Zhi lay back on the bed and closed her eyes to rest. After about an incense stick of time, she began to think about her future.

I must escape, but now my body cannot even stand steadily, so running away would be seeking death. The most urgent thing is to save my life in the Marquis' Mansion and take care of my body.

No matter how you escape, you need physical strength. After you have a healthy body, you need to exercise more, it would be best if you can build some muscles, and it would be best if you can also learn some martial arts.

After escaping, we still need to make a living. We can't just kneel on the roadside and beg for food. Among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, it seems that merchants are more reliable. Why not open a restaurant? Opening a restaurant requires capital, but where does the money come from?

Where else to escape to? Why not run towards Xiandai’s home? The soldiers and officers in that remote city should not be able to catch up with him.

How to evade the pursuit on the road? Use the method of hiding in the city and pretending to be a beggar to get through?

Then you have to walk, and you won’t be able to get home even if you try for years.

The more Bai Zhi thought about it, the more powerless she felt. She opened her mouth and howled silently.

Damn God, you’ve given me another chance to live, can’t you just give me a simpler start?

I live my life again and find that death is everywhere!

Staying in the mansion would mean death, and running away would only lead to death to avoid being hunted down.

Dead... Bai Zhi suddenly opened her eyes. Yes! Dead! If dead, no one will chase her! Isn't it enough to just escape? There is no DNA testing these days. If you just put a corpse there and try to change its appearance, who can know who it is!

It would be best if we could set a fire and burn the house and the people together, turning them into charcoal. Even the king of heaven would not be able to recognize who is who.

Anyway, the first two third wives are gone, so it’s not surprising if she’s gone too!

There was finally a glimmer of hope ahead. Bai Zhi was so excited that her breathing became heavier. She dragged her sick body off the bed, shouting as she moved: "Qiaoqiao!"
