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

Lin Ruogui lay quietly on the bed, his face regained a bit of redness, but he still showed no signs of waking up. Doctor Zhao was sitting beside him, pinching his withered wrist and taking his pulse, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

After several rounds of first aid, Bai Zhi checked Lin Ruogui's neck pulse and breathing, and finally found some movement.

The Marquis's family was large and powerful, and they attached great importance to protecting their lives, so every few days they would invite doctors to come to the house to check the pulses of their families. Yishuiyuan never interfered in this matter. She should have interfered earlier, but she never knew that Doctor Zhao was actually a full-time doctor in the Marquis's house.

However, considering that Doctor Zhao had been instructed to harm her before, and that he was somewhat capable, Bai Zhi reluctantly did not kick him out directly.

Lin Chuqi stood at the end of the bed, clenched his fists tightly, pursed his lips, and stared at the withered wrist without saying a word. Qiaoqiao, who was standing by, didn't know how to comfort him, so she could only wipe the sweat off his forehead with her sleeve.

Baizhi hugged the two children tightly in each hand.

After a while, Doctor Zhao finished taking the patient's pulse and stroked his beard, saying, "Madam San, this lady's spirit has returned but her soul has not."

Bai Zhi's eyes shone: "Speak human language."

"This lady's life has been saved, but this is the soul-separation meridian, which is an incurable disease. Now her mind and spirit are exhausted, I'm afraid she won't live for many days."

Cook Xu covered her face with her sleeves and sobbed softly. Bai Zhi looked at Lin Chuqi in her arms. The child clenched his teeth tightly and didn't make a sound, but his face twitched again and again, his eyes were wide open, and tears rushed out. Qiaoqiao didn't cry loudly this time for the first time. As soon as the tears came out, she buried her head in Bai Zhi's arms and suppressed her sobs.

Bai Zhi simply hugged Lin Chuqi into her arms and gently patted the two children's heads.

"Doctor Zhao," Bai Zhi's voice was a little hoarse, "is there any medicine that can be used?"

Doctor Zhao sighed and said, "Madam, you are right. Even if the imperial physicians from the palace come, no one can cure the soul-leaving disease."

This result is not unexpected.

Bai Zhi took out a silver ingot from her purse and handed it to Doctor Zhao, saying, "In that case, Doctor Zhao, please go back. I'd like you to keep your mouth shut about what happened today."

She was not afraid of other people hearing it, she was only afraid of it reaching Ge Zhen's ears.

Doctor Zhao put the silver in his pocket and bowed repeatedly: "Don't worry, Madam Third, don't worry."

After Doctor Zhao left, Cook Xu wiped away her tears and said to Bai Zhi in a hoarse voice, "Thank you, Third Madam. I will... take my sister back right now. I hope Third Madam will grant me leave."

"Granted leave, I'll go with you." Bai Zhi patted the two children in her arms, "Qiaoqiao, you stay. Chuqi, let's go."

An unconscious person was as heavy as a thousand pounds and was difficult to lift. Bai Zhi called a strong servant from the mansion to come over, carry Lin Ruogui into the carriage, and then drove all the way to the Lin family.

Lin Chuqi just held Lin Ruogui's hand tightly in the car without saying a word. When they arrived at the place, the strong servant carried Lin Ruogui back to the shabby bed.

Bai Zhi gave him some silver and asked him to wait in the carriage.

Cook Xu seemed to be back home. She brought a stool for Bai Zhi and took out some broken tea leaves from an old wooden box to make a cup of tea. "Third Madam, my sister's family is poor and we don't have anything good to offer you. Please don't be offended."

Tea is served to guests, and it would be rude not to drink it. Bai Zhi took a sip, and the tea soup was so bitter that her tongue almost stuck to her upper teeth.

Looking at this almost bare house, it seems that the little salary Chuqi earned from the Marquis' Mansion was all spent on various doctors.

"Lin County Magistrate has explained everything to me." Bai Zhi put down her teacup and said in a serious tone, "Chuqi, please sit down. This matter should have been explained to you by Lin County Magistrate himself, but now I am stepping in to explain it to you."

Lin Chuqi tucked the corner of the quilt for Lin Ruogui, took a stool and sat in front of Bai Zhi, wiping away her tears, with a look of dejection after extreme sadness on her face.

"Mr. Lin came to me today because he knew he didn't have much time left, so he wanted to entrust you to me. I promised Mr. Lin that I would take you with me wherever I go from now on."

Lin Chuqi slowly opened her mouth: "My mother..."

"She also told me some old stories about your escape from Weizhou." Bai Zhi sighed, "Chuqi, I promise that if the Thirteen States recover one day, I will definitely take you and County Magistrate Lin back to see it."

"My mother...she dreams of going home."

Lin Chuqi twisted her sleeves tightly and finally burst into tears.

The flesh and blood of the Thirteen States, the pain of the survivors, now only a few cries remain.

Cook Xu wiped her tears and suddenly bowed to Bai Zhi.

"Madam Xu!" Bai Zhi quickly helped the man up, "What are you doing?"

"Thank you very much, Third Madam, for your help!" Cook Xu pulled Lin Chuqi over and said, "Quick, kowtow to Third Madam."

"No, no one needs to kowtow." Bai Zhi supported the two without saying anything, "Lin County Magistrate gave me a very valuable inkstone, and I took care of her children. It was consensual, and you don't owe me anything. No one needs to kowtow."

Besides, Magistrate Lin had already kowtowed long enough.

However, Bai Zhi couldn't say in front of the child that his mother kowtowed to others because he had a favor.

Bai Zhi took out fifty taels of silver and stuffed it into Cook Xu's hand, saying, "Keep it for Lin County Magistrate's treatment. This is my way of thanking Lin County Magistrate for telling me about the past."

Cook Xu's eyes were filled with tears: "Thank you, Third Madam, but this disease... Alas."

Soul separation syndrome.

Heart disease also requires heart medicine.

Bai Zhi's mind moved, and she leaned close to the sleeping Lin Ruogui's ear and said in a very light voice: "Lin County Magistrate, King Jing has left behind descendants, and the recovery of the thirteen states is just around the corner. You have to hold on."

Under the quilt, unseen by anyone, Lin Ruogui's fingers moved slightly.

Bai Zhi gave Lin Chuqi a few days off, told him to come see her when he came back, and then she went back to the mansion alone in a carriage.

In the pavilion of Yishuiyuan, there sits a living ancestor.

"Oh, you're back! Where have you been?" Qiao Wanwan stepped forward and grabbed Bai Zhi's sleeve, her face full of anxiety, "Something happened!"

Bai Zhi staggered as she was grabbed by her, but Qiao Wanwan's grip was too strong and she struggled several times but failed to break free. She said helplessly, "What's the matter? The position of head of the family is gone?"

"You, you, you, can't you just look forward to me? This has nothing to do with me, it's your business!" Qiao Wanwan said, "Let me ask you, did you eat alone with a man yesterday?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"What else? You're being gossiped about all over town, and you're asking me what's wrong." Qiao Wanwan said in a disappointed tone, "When I was greeting you this morning, my sister-in-law told me that it's being rumored that the third wife of the Marquis's Mansion is meeting her lover outside!"
