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

Bai Zhi: "Doctor Fang, this is..."

"Miss Bai, please be at ease. In order to make the mask fit better, Your Highness will have to suffer a little at this time."

"Is it like this every time?"

"Exactly."

After a full quarter of an hour, the mask finally killed all the bugs, covering the immortal face and acting as a flawless face. Gu Yan then relaxed and continued to pick from the pile of porcelain bottles, first picking up a porcelain bottle to drip into his eyes, and then picking up another porcelain bottle to drink in one gulp.

"I don't know when Your Highness will be punished for this crime." Fang Zhiheng sighed, turned to look at Bai Zhi, hesitated for a moment, and bowed, "Miss Bai, please forgive me if I offend you. Let me ask you, do you really believe Your Highness... do you believe that King Jing's rebellion is a conspiracy to deceive the gods?"

Bai Zhi: "Why do you ask?"

"Since ancient times, those who succeeded were kings and those who failed were bandits. Since King Jing was killed, the history books were written at will. Nowadays, only a few people in the thirteen states firmly believe that King Jing was assassinated. Excuse me for being blunt, but why did Miss Bai make such a conclusion..."

Gu Yan interrupted Fang Zhiheng and said, "At first, it was Miss Bai who knew my identity and then I told Miss Bai that there was injustice in the rebellion of King Jing."

"Miss Bai is so smart that she really believed His Highness's one-sided words? Have you never thought about how you would deal with it if what the history books say is true? Miss Bai is willing to stay in this dangerous place just for the one thousand taels of silver promised by His Highness? Isn't it..."

"Zhi Heng!"

Bai Zhi waved her hand: "It's poisonous to say it out loud, just let him finish."

Fang Zhiheng gritted his teeth and continued: "...Don't you have any other thoughts?"

"You can explain it more clearly. You are worried that I might have bad intentions and want to stab your Highness in the back." Bai Zhi leaned back in her chair, crossed her legs, and sneered, "How surprising! How could I have that ability? I am afraid that your Highness would kill me."

These words obviously failed to convince Fang Zhiheng, and his brows were still tightly furrowed.

Bai Zhi stopped smiling and said seriously, "I am not willing to stay here. I am tied here by your Highness. There are many different opinions about the truth of King Jing's rebellion. I really can't listen to one side. I can't run away anyway. Since your Highness doesn't look like a bad person, I'm betting that everything he said is true. Is this a sufficient reason?"

Suddenly there was a knock on the door: "Miss, are you there? The Second Madam sent someone to tell you to go to the Old Madam to pay your respects immediately."

Bai Zhi's face was long. She straightened her clothes slightly and walked out of the door in big strides.

The door slammed shut, shaking the two people in the room.

Fang Zhiheng rubbed his ears: "Miss Bai seems to be annoyed."

"She has always treated herself as a fish on the chopping board. Perhaps she never thought that there would be a day when she would be feared. I didn't tell her everything, but even if she knew the truth, she would only think about running as far away as possible. She would not harm me in exchange for great wealth. She is not interested in that." After Gu Yan drank the medicine, his voice returned to that inconspicuous scholar's tone, and he said calmly, "Zhiheng, if you have any doubts, you should ask me first. You are abrupt."

Fang Zhiheng cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Your Highness. But one cannot trust everyone. In my opinion, Changfeng should be more attentive and keep a close eye on Miss Bai."

"Okay, I will tell Changfeng and Zhiheng not to speculate about Miss Bai anymore." Gu Yan said, "Let's get to the point. How is Heyang Valley doing now?"

When this matter was mentioned, Fang Zhiheng's whole body became like an eggplant in frost: "Your Highness, Fu Yao sent a message that Heyang Valley has prepared to set out, but the carriages are slow to travel, and it will take eight or nine days to reach the capital." He took out a piece of letter paper from his sleeve and handed it to Gu Yan, "According to Fu Yao, this time they are going out in full force, with a full range of weapons. Your Highness, the people in Heyang Valley are all bandits, and they will not only seek wealth, but also kill people. You must prepare early to avoid disaster."

"Ask Fu Yao to keep an eye on Heyanggu's whereabouts. First, report the news in time, and second, don't let them cause any trouble. The emperor has noticed something fishy on the Beidi border. Don't let them get caught by soldiers before they get to the Marquis' Mansion." Gu Yan sneered, "I have been pulling strings at the border for more than a year, and the emperor has only just managed to get his eyes on this. As a king, it would be a shame to tell others about this."

"Your Highness, the Seventh Prince ordered you to investigate the Dizi Rebellion. He must have used this incident to test your ability, but he accidentally led your Highness to investigate me. How should I report this?"

"The Seventh Prince wants to use this incident to severely damage the Crown Prince's power, but I will let him do it. The sooner he ascends the throne, the sooner I will return to Weizhou."

Fang Zhiheng bowed deeply and said, "I hope Your Highness can get what he wants soon."

When Bai Zhi entered the main room, she found that Ge Zhen was also there, and the seating arrangement remained the same. She still sat next to Old Madam Gu, and Qiao Wanwan sat next to her.

Not to mention that the Marquis's family values ​​seniority, she almost ruined the reputation of the Marquis's family, but Madam Gu just let her go without saying that she would be locked up for a few more days?

Bai Zhi went forward to greet him as usual, then huddled aside to drink tea.

Madam Gu looked good today. She was radiant and smiling as she chatted with Ge Zhen and Qiao Wanwan about random things. She was so kind and gentle that she seemed to have been possessed. Bai Zhi took a break from the three people's casual chat and said, "Mother, Zhi'er sees that you look good. What's up?"

Madam Gu smiled and said, "I am happy. Your sister-in-law sent me a tonic last night, saying it can replenish qi and refresh the mind. This medicine is really magical. I just drank it once, and when I woke up, I felt refreshed and relaxed."

Ge Zhen covered his mouth with a handkerchief and smiled: "Mother, it was Zhen'er who was careless yesterday and made you angry. Zhen'er wanted to find a good medicine to nourish your body, which can be regarded as a way to atone for the sin."

Putting Ge Zhen and the medicine together, it sounds like nothing good. Bai Zhi looked at the old lady's face carefully again. Her complexion was ruddy and she didn't look tired at all. She looked like she had drunk a magical tonic.

Or maybe the medicine is good, and Ge Zhen uses it to please Old Madam Gu in order to return to the position of head of the family.

However, Qiao Wanwan always finds ways to restrain Ge Zhen, and the subsequent right and wrong have nothing to do with Bai Zhi.

——Not long after this thought came up, it was shattered by Qiao Wanwan.

It was almost lunch time, and after Madam Gu asked them to go their separate ways, Qiao Wanwan quickly caught up with them from behind and dragged Bai Zhi to the landscape garden, looking very distressed: "Third sister-in-law, you have to be a good person to the end."

Knowing that it was not a good thing, Bai Zhi turned around and was about to leave, but Qiao Wanwan held her back, "Third sister-in-law! We agreed that if I can't run the family anymore, you have to help me!"

Bai Zhi: "...Second sister-in-law, this is only your first day as the head of the family. Even if I push my Qiaoqiao to be the head of the family, she can at least hold on for three to five days."
