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

Qiao Wanwan widened her eyes: "What do you mean?"

Bai Zhi did not answer, but reached out and took a large bowl: "Pour the wine."

Qiao Wanwan opened the mud seal of the wine jar: "Okay, let's drink enough today!"

The two of them drank one bowl after another, gulping down the entire bowl in one gulp, as if they were trying to drown their sorrows in alcohol. Soon, after three bowls, both of them were a little drunk.

"You...hiccup, tell me, why do I get bored?"

"You don't have enough desire." Bai Zhi slammed the empty bowl in front of Qiao Wanwan, "I don't think you have any requests. You just want to be the head of the family because you don't like your sister-in-law."

"Just one sister-in-law is not enough!"

"What else?"

"Look at this mansion," Qiao Wanwan stretched out her hand and waved outside Yishuiyuan, "It looks so splendid at first glance, but it's actually just a big cage. I don't just dislike my sister-in-law, I dislike the entire mansion. After thinking about it, maybe I'll like it better after I take charge of the family."

"After you become the head of the family, you will be half a cage." Bai Zhi raised the bowl and knocked it against Qiao Wanwan, "When the time comes, you won't even like yourself, let alone the Marquis' Mansion."

"What should I do? I might end up like this for the rest of my life. I have to find a way to make myself live more comfortably." Qiao Wanwan drank another bowl of wine, and took the wine as if it were water. "Isn't it the same for you? Your family sold their daughter... But don't worry, you help me run the family, I will definitely take care of you."

"That's not necessary. Just do as I said before and don't let my sister-in-law have time to harm me."

"Speaking of this, I am a little puzzled. Why did the sister-in-law target you? Why did she find someone to beat you up for no apparent reason, and also asked you to admit the crime of stealing the hairpin? Could it be that you two had a personal grudge against each other before?"

Bai Zhi was delighted. Qiao Wanwan actually took her nonsense seriously.

But it's not entirely nonsense, after all, the person who beat her up was indeed Ge Zhen.

"I do have some personal grudges, but it's hard to go into details."

"It's really not easy for you. Your sister-in-law wants to harm you, and someone else secretly wants your life."

Bai Zhi didn’t understand what Qiao Wanwan meant for a moment: “Who still wants my life?”

"Why are you playing dumb? My third brother lost two wives in a row, and you fell into the water just three days after entering the mansion. Is this a coincidence?"

It turned out that Qiao Wanwan had not yet connected Ge Zhen and Gu Yan's dead wife. Bai Zhi avoided the main point and said, "Thanks to my good fortune."

Qiao Wanwan could tell that she was hiding something, but she didn't care much: "I don't know how capable you are, but I can see that you don't have any bad intentions."

Bai Zhi just smiled without saying anything, took the wine jar and filled it for herself, then drank two more bowls.

Qiao Wanwan was puzzled and asked, "What's on your mind? You keep drinking... Is it because you actually want to be the head of the family, but you are ranked third and can't surpass me, so you have to settle for the second best and help me?"

Bai Zhi seemed to have heard a joke: "What's there to be overcome? Didn't you overcome the eldest sister-in-law too?"

"That's right... I'm the boss now, what are you worried about?"

I drank too quickly just now, and the alcohol took effect all of a sudden. Bai Zhi felt a little dizzy, half drunk, leaning on the table, and said lazily: "Second sister-in-law, let me ask you."

Qiao Wanwan: "Just ask."

"If there is a person," Bai Zhi spoke slowly, word by word, with a big tongue, "some people say he is a good person, some people say he is a bad person, then is he good or bad?"

"What does this have to do with anything? Who are you talking about?"

"Don't worry about who it is. Just tell me whether this person is good or bad."

"You are so incoherent, how can I explain it?" Qiao Wanwan said, "But based on what you said, I think of someone."

"Who?"

Qiao Wanwan lowered her voice: "Prince Jing."

When Bai Zhi heard the name, she was startled and sobered up. She regained some consciousness and asked calmly, "What's wrong with King Jing?"

Qiao Wanwan thought about it and said, "Just as you said, King Jing obviously colluded with the barbarians for his own selfish desires and brought disaster to the people. But when I went to the southwest, I heard people say that King Jing was the most benevolent king in history. He must have suffered a great injustice. Don't you think it's strange?"

"What's so strange about that?"

"Look, Prince Jing is the only prince in the dynasty, the emperor's most beloved brother, second only to the emperor and above everyone else. Who would allow him to suffer injustice?"

Bai Zhi followed this and thought: "If he was really wronged, then the instigator must be someone who benefited from it."

"After all this, the Thirteen States are almost doomed. Who can benefit from this?" Qiao Wanwan snorted, "Whoever benefits will be a disaster."

Gained benefit from it... Gained benefit from it... Bai Zhi suddenly remembered that Marquis Xuanping was the one who benefited from it! If you think about it one by one, it was General Gu who framed King Jing, pretended to be a good man to suppress the rebellion, and finally got the hereditary title of Marquis. Chu Yunchuan sneaked into the Marquis' Mansion for revenge... Good guy, it really connects the dots. Is there really a hidden story behind King Jing's rebellion?

But the emperor actually believed a mere general who framed the prince. Does he have such great ability?

Moreover, General Gu had passed away. Who did Chu Yunchuan want to avenge when he came here? Why did he have to replace the real Gu Yan?

"Okay, stop looking away and drink!"

Another bowl of wine was brought up. Bai Zhi felt that if she continued to get drunk, she would lose her mind, so she waved her hand and said, "No more. Do you know why the old marquis died?"

"It seems to be some kind of acute illness. The old marquis passed away not long after he became the marquis. He really didn't get to enjoy happiness." Qiao Wanwan was also a little drunk. She pushed Bai Zhi's hand away and forcefully stuffed the wine bowl into her hand. "Why don't you drink? We agreed to drink as much as we can."

"Who told you..." The wine she drank earlier seeped into Bai Zhi's bones. She felt like her soul was going to fly away. Her hands softened and she dropped the bowl to the ground, smashing it to pieces. She said incoherently, "What kind of wine is this... Why does it have an aftereffect..."

"Of course it's good wine, collected by Gu Shou. This jar costs fifty taels." Qiao Wanwan filled her own wine bowl and handed it over, "Drink!"

Bai Zhi used her hands and feet to dodge to the side: "Whose wine is so good...it makes me dizzy..."

"That's all you can drink. Forget it. If you don't drink, I will."

"I...I don't want to drink with you...I want to go back to sleep..." Bai Zhi stood up shakily with the help of a stool. After taking two steps, she tripped over her left foot and fell forward.

The moment she fell, the only thing that flashed through Bai Zhi's clear mind was a sentence: Damn it, why am I injured again?

But before she could get hurt, she was wrapped in a warm embrace that exuded a soothing aroma. With only the scent of the soothing aroma around her, Bai Zhi vaguely felt that she had returned to the bed, so she naturally reached out to pull the quilt.

Even though her mind was fuzzy, all the boxing training she had done these days was not in vain. She exerted considerable strength on her own initiative and pulled Gu Yan's coat off one shoulder. At first glance, she looked like a drunkard flirting with a passing scholar.
