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

After saying this, without waiting for Madam Gu to ask further questions, she untied the silk scarf around her neck. After a nap, the bruises on her neck became even more shocking.

This wound blocked all the questions that Madam Gu had prepared. Madam Gu was so angry that she didn't know where to vent and was unable to speak for a while.

Bai Zhi thought to herself that the last time she was beaten she avoided a disaster, and this time she was beaten she avoided a disaster again. This really is a blessing in disguise.

Ge Zhen asked, "Third sister-in-law, what happened to your injury?"

Bai Zhi: "It was my husband who did it."

I can only tell the truth, mainly because there is no one else to blame.

Ge Zhen suddenly became excited, and her smile widened. She pretended to be concerned and said, "How could Third Brother be so cruel? No matter what wrong Third Brother's wife did, we should have tried to persuade her with kind words first."

Bai Zhi looked up at Ge Zhen's smug face and swallowed back the excuse she had prepared. She put on a helpless look and said slowly, "My husband learned the art of sex from somewhere, and he used it on my sister as soon as she recovered from her illness. He used too much force, and she ended up in this shameful state now."

Ge Zhen's smile froze on his face.

"It's really immoral!" Madam Gu waved her hand with an embarrassed look on her face, "Go back and recuperate quickly. Don't go out again until you are well!"

Bai Zhi glanced at Ge Zhen, whose face was trembling, tied the handkerchief again, and politely left.

Gu Yan didn't have to wait for long before Fang Zhiheng came rushing over, exhausted, carrying a medicine box on his back.

When he saw Gu Yan, Fang Zhiheng first looked him up and down, then pinched his wrist to feel his pulse.

"I'm fine now." Gu Yan said, "Zhiheng, I was so grateful to you last night."

Gu Yan's memory stopped at the moment when Changfeng pressed his acupoints. He only found out about the following events after he asked Changfeng in the morning.

"Your Highness, please don't be polite with me. It's all thanks to Miss Bai." Fang Zhiheng's face was very solemn. "Your Highness, what exactly happened?"

After going crazy this time, most of the heavy burden that Gu Yan had been carrying for the past few days was lifted, and he could actually speak calmly about the incident that almost made him go crazy.

He leaned close to Fang Zhiheng's ear and whispered a few words.

With a "bang", Fang Zhiheng fell to the ground, his face full of horror, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Gu Yan helped Fang Zhiheng to sit on the chair and patted him on the back calmly.

Fang Zhiheng's lips trembled as he said in a trembling voice: "We...we...never doubted it..."

"We never doubted him." Gu Yan continued, "No wonder Madam Gu was so secretive. I couldn't get her to talk no matter what."

"Your Highness... then aren't we wasting our energy... in vain?"

Gu Yan shook his head: "What we have done is not in vain." There seemed to be a dark surge in his eyes again, but this black was brighter and purer. He suddenly smiled, "Zhiheng, I have had an intersection with the Seventh Prince before. He is a man of great foresight. When he was young, he often came to me to play chess, just for the secret art of mechanical devices passed down to me by my mother. Among the princes today, only the Seventh Prince can compete with the Crown Prince for the future throne. To fulfill my great wish, how about I surrender with this face that the Seventh Prince has seen and the secret art of mechanical devices? What do you think, is it okay to gamble?"

Gu Yan asked "Can we gamble?" but Fang Zhiheng heard it as "You must gamble."

Fang Zhiheng's scalp was numb: "Your Highness, if you take a wrong step..."

"If you make a wrong step, I will let Changfeng take you to find Fu Yao. You can dig out those boxes of secret treasures and live happily." Gu Yan leaned back in his chair, "I will take the murderer to apologize to my parents."

"The matter of the Marquis' Mansion..."

"Things are happening in the Marquis' Mansion all the time."

Fang Zhiheng calmed down after a while and said, "Your Highness, the emperor is now in his prime. If we want to help the seventh prince ascend the throne, we either have to wait another ten or twenty years, or force the emperor to abdicate... Do we really have to do this?"

Gu Yan turned his head and glanced out the window. Yesterday's rain had all ended, and Yishuiyuan was completely dried out by the sun that had just come out. There was no sign of rain at all.

He said, "Zhiheng, 72 people in the palace died tragically, including my grandfather's family. Only Changfeng and I survived. Hundreds of thousands of people became refugees, and my parents were carved into statues of people carrying thorns and spitted on by the local people for five years. If I don't take revenge, do I have to pray to the gods every day and hope that they will suffer retribution?"

He turned his head and looked straight at Fang Zhiheng, his eyes seemed to be ablaze with fire: "Don't mention waiting for ten or twenty years, forcing you to abdicate, even if you have to cripple my hands and feet and tear apart my bones and blood, I am willing.

"I will use my body to wash away the name of King Xuejing."

It was past dinner time when Bai Zhi returned to Yishui Garden. She had only eaten a few dishes since she woke up, and now her stomach was growling with hunger, so she quickened her pace and rushed to the small kitchen.

Qiaoqiao just came out of the small kitchen and saw Baizhi with sharp eyes: "Miss!"

Bai Zhi: "Qiaoqiao! Is there any food left?"

"Miss, the Third Master has already ordered dinner to be served. Cook Xu has already prepared the food and is now serving the dishes."

The faint smell of firewood and food wafted from the small kitchen. Bai Zhi put her nose forward and took a deep breath.

Qiaoqiao: "Miss, why didn't you sleep well last night?"

Bai Zhi blinked around and said nonsense: "Last night... I ate too much and had indigestion. I didn't go to bed until this morning."

Qiaoqiao clapped her hands and said, "Miss, I'll get you some hawthorns to help you digest your food." Then she turned around and tried to go into the small kitchen. Baizhi quickly grabbed her with one hand and said, "Qiaoqiao! No need! I'm fine now!"

There is no food in my stomach now, how can I digest the food? Do I have to digest the stomach?

Qiaoqiao said "Oh", then lowered her voice and asked worriedly, "Miss, I heard from Mingxin that you were called away by the old lady just now? Did the old lady bully you?"

Bai Zhi patted Qiaoqiao's braid and said in feigned anger, "Why are you always worried about the young lady being bullied? How can the young lady be so easy to bully?"

Qiaoqiao then smiled and went into the small kitchen to help carry the dishes.

Bai Zhi entered the room and found that Gu Yan had returned to his usual place to read. Seeing her return, she asked her anxiously, "How is it?"

Gu Yan knew everything she did and said in the past, so she didn't need to waste her words. Bai Zhi was stunned for a while before she realized - oh, Gu Yan had removed the spy who followed her, and now he was blind.

"I forgot to greet you after I recovered from my illness. Ge Zhen instigated the old lady to pick on me, but I turned it over by saying that I had a new injury and shouldn't go out."

Although it sounded like she was in a difficult situation, Bai Zhi looked relaxed. Gu Yan smiled to himself in his heart - he knew her abilities very well, so why should he rush?

Cook Xu knocked on the door outside the house: "Third Master, Third Madam, the meal is ready."
