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

"Yes, a few years ago, the crown prince's wings covered the sky and the sun, how could I know a thousand miles away?" The seventh prince sighed, "It's really a pity... The emperor's uncle and aunt have always been gentle and kind, and they love the people like their own children. When I came to Fuzhou when I was young, they often took you and me to Xiwei Mountain to hunt. We competed to see who caught more prey. Do you remember?"

"Remember, my seventh brother is as good as a god on horseback, and I always lose."

"Brother Chuan is not good at riding and shooting, but he is good at using tricks and devices. He has set many traps in the mountains to catch prey. If we really think about it, I am the one who always loses."

"Seventh brother, you are joking. Now the art of traps and tricks is in your pocket. You can get whatever prey you want."

"Brother Chuan," the Seventh Prince spread his sleeves, turned around and looked at Chu Yunchuan with a smile on his face, "I don't just want a trick, I want the whole world."

Chu Yunchuan bowed and said, "I will follow the Seventh Brother and assist him in his great cause."

"Recently, the Di family has been restless and has frequently invaded the northern border. My father is afraid that the capital city is in danger, so he ordered me to investigate this matter." The Seventh Prince patted Chu Yunchuan on the shoulder, "Brother Chuan, I will leave this matter to you. This is a great opportunity. You must do everything you can to clip the Crown Prince's wings."

Chu Yunchuan showed no emotion, and replied in a businesslike manner, "Yes."

"Uncle, aunt, when I become emperor, I will announce it to the world and clear your grievances." The Seventh Prince bowed three times to the two tablets, "Let's go, Brother Chuan."

Chu Yunchuan took a final deep look at the two tablets, then clenched his fists and followed the Seventh Prince out.

A hundred steps away, the vine flowers bloomed silently.

When the rooster crowed for the third time, Changfeng called Baizhi.

Baizhi was not easy to wake up once she fell into a deep sleep, so she specifically asked Changfeng to wake her up early the night before. However, she didn't expect that Changfeng's early was not the same as hers.

"Changfeng." Bai Zhi half-opened her eyes and asked in a hoarse voice, "It's not Chenshi yet, is it?"

Changfeng: "One quarter of the morning hour."

"Isn't it too early?"

"It's not early. It's already daybreak."

"..."

After all, she was the one who didn't make it clear in advance, so Bai Zhi suppressed her anger when waking up, resigned herself to getting up and going to fetch water to wash her face.

After tidying up, Bai Zhi went downstairs and asked the waiter to bring breakfast to the room. Then she asked the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, have you heard of Feng Li Niang?"

The shopkeeper said: "Feng Li Niang..."

The accountant reminded: "It's the widow of the Liu family."

"This widow Liu was originally called Feng Li Niang... Sir, the woman you are talking about lives in Xiaogang Village. Are you her relative?"

Bai Zhi: "I guess she's an old friend. Where does she live in Xiaogang Village?"

The shopkeeper sighed, "When you enter the village, just look for the most dilapidated house. Widow Liu is just making do with herself now. Some time ago, I don't know who offended her, but a group of people went to her house to rob her. I heard they robbed a large sack of stuff. Alas, in this world, robbers are the bosses and soldiers are the grandsons."

It sounds like someone from the Bai family took the bones away. It seems that what Aunt Zhao said is true.

“Is Xiaogang Village far from here?”

"Not far. Just walk five miles east from the city gate."

Baizhi didn't ask any more questions. She went back to the house, had breakfast with Changfeng, mounted her horse and set off for Xiaogang Village.

Changfeng shouldn't be brought to a small place like the village, as he is too conspicuous. However, the area around Ruyang is not peaceful, and Baizhi hasn't had time to practice martial arts yet. Without Changfeng, she might not be able to move forward. Baizhi thought about it and bought a set of coarse cloth clothes for Changfeng, and tried her best to dress him up like a farmer, so that she felt relieved.

When they were almost at Xiaogang Village, the two men hid the horses a mile outside the village and then walked into the village.

Smoke was coming out of the chimneys of every household in Xiaogang Village, it seemed that they were just starting a fire to cook.

Bai Zhi looked around and found that every house was not in good condition, and each one looked more dilapidated than the other. However, she immediately spotted the dilapidated house that the shopkeeper mentioned.

It was indeed very dilapidated, as if a carriage had fallen into the woods and the couple had to spend the night here in a haphazard shelter made of branches. There wasn't even a fence.

Baizhi walked to the tree branch nest and knocked on the wooden door that was not closed tightly.

A trembling voice came from the room: "Who is it?"

Bai Zhi asked, "Are you Feng Li Niang?"

Suddenly there was a clanging sound in the room, as if someone inside was holding something against the door: "You, you've got the wrong person."

Changfeng stretched out his hand and pushed the door open a crack. Baizhi said to the crack, "My name is Baizhi, and I'm Aunt Tao's daughter. I'm grateful for your kindness in burying my mother. I want to thank you in person now."

After a while, the wooden door opened slightly, and a white-haired old man looked at Bai Zhi through the gap: "Are you Madam Tao's daughter?"

Bai Zhi said softly, "Yes, Aunt Feng, I'm late."

Feng Li Niang's eyes were filled with tears. She suddenly knelt on the ground and cried bitterly: "I am an old and useless woman. I asked them to take Madam Tao away! Miss! I am so sorry for you!"

Bai Zhi quickly helped Feng Li Niang into the house and asked, "Auntie Feng, what's going on?"

"More than ten days ago, more than a dozen servants of the Bai family came to my house, all holding wooden sticks, saying that they wanted Madam Tao's remains." Feng Li Niang wiped the tears from her face and said, "I was so old that I couldn't do anything, so I took them to Madam Tao's grave. These damn people dug up Madam Tao's grave and just... took Madam Tao away in a sack. I can't figure it out. It's been so many years, and you're so old now, why did they suddenly come to look for Madam Tao?"

Bai Zhi asked, "Is it true that what you brought back that year was my mother's corpse?"

"It's absolutely true. Madam Tao and I are both from Ningzhou. When I was at the Bai family, Madam Tao took great care of me. Madam Tao had a hard life. She was not as good at vying for favor as other concubines. Master Bai gradually disliked her and placed her in a small side room of the Bai family. He didn't even come to see her when she was pregnant. When she was about to give birth, Madam Tao felt that she might not survive, so she specifically told me that if she died, I should burn her and take her back to Ningzhou, and take the child with me." Feng Li'niang burst into tears when she said this. "It's my fault that I'm incompetent. At that time, I had just changed my mind with my five-year-old son. I married to Ruyang, and Ningzhou was a long way away. I couldn't leave, and I couldn't bear to burn Madam Tao, so I had to bury her on the mountain behind my home, thinking that I would move Madam Tao's grave back to Ningzhou when I returned home. I was afraid that you would die young, so I didn't dare to take you with me. I wanted to wait for the Bai family to raise you a little before taking you away. Who knew that my husband died not long after. Two men died in a row. Everyone said I was a disaster star. My husband's family drove me out, and the Bai family also drove me out. I had nowhere to go, so I had to go to Xiaogang Village to do some weaving work, thinking that when I saved enough money, I would take my son and Madam Tao back to Ningzhou. "

Bai Zhi listened quietly without saying a word.
