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

Feng Li Niang sobbed for a long time: "Later, my son fell into the river and disappeared. The fortune teller said that I would bring death to those around me. No one in the village dared to get close to me anymore, and no one bought the cloth I wove. I could only grow vegetables to make a living. I moved Madam Tao's grave to the current place, so that we can be considered companions. It has been more than ten years now, and I can never...never return to Ningzhou again!"

Bai Zhi patted Feng Li Niang on the back to calm her down: "Auntie Feng, how far is Ningzhou from here?"

Feng Li Niang wiped her tears and said, "Ningzhou is the fief of King Jing, which is 108,000 miles away. I didn't know how lucky I was at that time, and I came to Ruyang on a whim. Now I think it would be better to stay in Ningzhou. Even if I die there, it's better than what I am doing now. If I were still in Ningzhou, how could I be looked down upon by others and have a hard time living like this!"

Bai Zhi took out a handkerchief from her bosom and wiped Feng Li'niang's tears, then sighed deeply.

King Jing's fiefdom is a place where you can't go back home. During King Jing's rebellion, there was a war for one or two years, and the people died or fled. Now it has become a dead place.

Bai Zhi left a silver ingot for Feng Li Niang: "Aunt Feng, if you still want to go back to Ningzhou to take a look, use this money to hire a carriage to go back. But the journey is long, please take care."

Feng Li'niang took the silver and burst into tears after a while.

Bai Zhi bowed deeply for the last time, then turned around and left with Chang Feng.

After leaving the village, Changfeng asked, "Miss Bai, are you going back to the capital?"

Bai Zhi stopped walking. Chang Feng turned to look at her, only to see Bai Zhi looking confused. She asked him, "Chang Feng, you said, my mother has no home, and I have no home either. Where should I bury my mother?"

Chang Feng had no choice but to answer politely: "According to the rules, he should be buried in the Bai family's ancestral tomb."

Bai Zhi asked, "Can that be considered her home?"

The wind is silent.

After a while, Bai Zhi asked again: "Did Chu Yunchuan's parents also pass away? Where are they buried?"

Chang Feng: "There is no trace of their bodies left, only two spirit tablets."

"...Where is the spirit tablet located?"

"In the master's hometown."

A strong wind blew over, bringing the smoke from all directions. Bai Zhi gathered her sleeves tightly and took a deep breath of the smoke.

"My hometown." Bai Zhi looked at the villagers' houses not far away and murmured, "What a pity, I don't have this thing." Then she turned around and patted Chang Feng's shoulder, "Let's go back to the capital. Send someone to the Bai family. No matter what method, they must bring my mother's bones to me."

Changfeng agreed.

After the bumpy journey there, Baizhi was obviously more adapted on the return journey. After arriving in the capital, she did not feel dizzy or vomit again. She just dismounted and rested for a while before she recovered.

After entering the capital, Changfeng began to hide his figure again, and Baizhi had to walk the rest of the way alone. She first went to Yuanyang Tower to order more than a dozen dishes that she had tasted, and then slipped back to the Marquis' Mansion through the side door carrying two large food boxes.

As soon as she arrived at the gate of Yishuiyuan, Mingxin spotted Baizhi with her sharp eyes. She quietly welcomed Baizhi into the house and then took the food box from her.

Bai Zhi ordered: "This is the dish from Yuanyang Tower. It will be a snack for everyone tonight."

Ming Xin: "Thank you, Third Madam. Third Madam, you were away today, and something big happened in your house."

Bai Zhi frowned and asked, "What happened?"

Ge Zhen? What has she done again?

Qiaoqiao had just come out of the house. Seeing Baizhi, she rushed up to her in a few steps, unable to hide her joy: "Miss! You are finally back! The eldest lady...the eldest lady has been put in solitary confinement by the old lady!"

Wow, Chef Zhang finally made a move!

Bai Zhi pulled Qiaoqiao and Mingxin to sit down: "Tell me in detail, what happened?"

Qiaoqiao: "Today, the old lady found that... found a straw man that cursed the old lady in the sedan chair of the eldest lady. The old lady was furious and ordered the eldest lady to reflect on the past behind closed doors!"

Bai Zhi pretended to be angry and said, "How could my sister-in-law do such a shameless thing in the mansion? Mother is usually very nice to my sister-in-law!"

Qiaoqiao followed her in singing a duet: "That's right! This time I think the eldest lady has been holding a grudge against the old lady for a long time!"

Ming Xin said, "The old lady was going to Dajue Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha today, but now something like this has happened. The old lady is furious and has not left the house. I heard that the second lady has been staying in the house with her all day."

Bai Zhi turned her eyes to Ming Xin: "Second sister-in-law got lucky this time. Ming Xin, do you think it's possible that Second sister-in-law framed the eldest sister-in-law?"

Ming Xin didn't hear the probing meaning in the words, and answered seriously: "I heard that the name of the old lady was written on the straw man. I think the second lady doesn't know it... The servants all said that the Marquis and the second master entered the official career with the help of the third master, and no longer needed to rely on the help of the Ge family. The old lady wanted to get rid of the donkey after it had done its work, and the first lady was resentful of it."

Bai Zhi sneered inwardly. There was a point in what these servants said, that is, the Marquis's Mansion did not need to rely on the Ge family's help anymore. The old lady protected Ge Zhen as much as she did before, but now she treated her as nothing. It seemed that the old lady also looked down on Ge Zhen.

I wonder if General Qiao behind Qiao Wanwan is enough to make the old lady jealous.

Bai Zhi wanted to ask Qiao Qiao something, so she found an excuse to get Ming Xin out of the way and asked in a low voice, "Ge Zhen just accepted such a big thing?"

Qiaoqiao smiled evilly, "I heard from the maid that the eldest lady tried to defend herself at the time, saying that she didn't do it, but the old lady didn't believe it at all. She said that this sedan chair was specially used for worshiping Buddha and was under the control of the eldest lady. No one except her could get close to it."

"Ge Zhen didn't blame me?"

“I haven’t heard of that.”

It seems that Ge Zhen also realized that times are different now and the old lady will no longer listen to her alone.

This is in stark contrast to the time when Ge Zhen accused her of stealing the hairpin.

Bai Zhi was in a good mood and asked, "How many days did the old lady ask Ge Zhen to confine himself to his studies?"

It shouldn't be long before the birthday party comes, which is a bit of a pity.

Sure enough, Qiaoqiao curled her lips and said, "Only three days."

Bai Zhi patted Qiaoqiao's braids and said with a smile, "Three days is enough for Ge Zhen to feel uncomfortable for a while."

Qiaoqiao: "The young lady spent a month recovering from her injuries... I don't know if she has any underlying illness."

Bai Zhi was touched and pinched the back of Qiaoqiao's neck like she was pinching a cat: "If I have the chance, I will definitely beat her up myself and let her recover from her injuries for a month."

Qiaoqiao nodded heavily: "Miss! You must beat her up!"

After a while, Qiaoqiao looked around and saw no one. She looked at Baizhi expectantly with eyes wide open: "Miss, please call my name."

Bai Zhi didn't understand what was going on, so she just called out, "Qiaoqiao."

"No, no." Qiaoqiao shook her head vigorously. "New, new name."

Now Bai Zhi understood what Qiaoqiao meant, and called out word by word seriously: "Bai, Ying."
