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

The food at Yishuiyuan was much lighter than the birthday party. Breakfast was light, and even lunch was mostly vegetarian and less meat. Everything was green.

As the saying goes, it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Even though the vegetable leaves were quite delicious, Baizhi couldn't help but miss the table full of delicacies.

It's not just that she likes to eat meat, but more importantly, she is a patient. How can a patient live without meat?

So Baizhi took Qiaoqiao all the way to the small kitchen to ask the reason.

The cook in the small kitchen was so frightened by Bai Zhi's fierce eyes that she almost fell to her knees. She explained tremblingly that Gu Yan liked vegetarian food, so the small kitchen always cooked mostly vegetarian dishes.

It was Gu Yan's fault again! Bai Zhi gritted her teeth and ordered the kitchen to cook more meat dishes for her in the future, and she must have meat at every meal.

Before the cook could react to the word "every meal", Bai Zhi had already left.

Counting on the time when Qiaoqiao would be back from buying medicine, Baizhi strolled into the shabby house alone and waited.

The furnishings in the shabby house had not changed, and it seemed that no one had cleaned it. Bai Zhi touched the familiar bed and slowly lay back down.

Although the time travel happened only yesterday, she can no longer remember the past.

But it’s better to forget. Bai Zhi raised one arm to cover her eyes. In her previous life, she grew up in an orphanage in a small town. Later, the orphanage was not managed well, and all the children, big and small, were sent out one by one by the director. Only she was unwilling to be adopted and live under someone else’s roof. She gritted her teeth and survived on the meager monthly allowance.

Take the high school entrance exam, the college entrance exam, graduate, work, work hard to make money... and then die suddenly.

Bai Zhi did not regret her life in her previous life, but she only regretted the money she earned but did not have time to spend, and the life she did not have time to live a good life.

Thinking of this, the original owner was even more pitiful. Her mother died in childbirth, and she was sent to live with an unfavored aunt. The aunt only cared about her own children and not her, so she could only read books day after day to pass the time, hoping that one day she could leave the Bai family and gain freedom.

Getting married allowed her to leave the Bai family, but it cost her her life.

The original owner was well-read and familiar with music, chess, calligraphy and painting, so he should be able to live a happy life no matter where he was.

It's a pity that she has no choice.

She pursued wealth and status. The original owner was born into a wealthy family, but they all had a bad ending.

Bai Zhi sighed deeply, she must not repeat the same mistake no matter what.

"Little... Third Madam?"

Qiaoqiao's voice came from outside the door.

The third wife? Bai Zhi frowned. Could there be someone else outside?

She straightened her clothes, stood up and opened the door, and immediately saw the familiar face of Gu Yan outside the door.

Gu Yan! Didn't he come back at midnight?

"Madam, why are you here?" Gu Yan waved his folding fan, and stared at Bai Zhi with his handsome scholar face without a smile, which made her feel creepy.

"I'm a little uncomfortable after moving away so I came here for a walk." Bai Zhi lowered her head and said coyly.

Gu Yan let out a long "oh" with an ambiguous tone: "I was too rude to Madam the other day. Qiaoqiao, go and tell the kitchen to prepare some medicinal food to nourish Madam tonight."

Qiaoqiao responded and looked up at Baizhi slightly. Her big watery eyes and furrowed brows almost showed the word "worry" written on her face. Then she gritted her teeth and walked away in small steps.

Bai Zhi forced a smile and said, "Thank you for your concern. Has your husband finished gathering with his friends?"

Gu Yan smiled and said, "I've been thinking about it and I think I should come back to have dinner with Madam, so that she won't be lonely. Madam has to move from the small kitchen to the study during the day, which must be very boring."

Damn it! This grandson really has spies! Bai Zhi's mind raced, he came over to knock me now, is he trying to test whether I have discovered any secrets?

Is that seal really that important?

Or something else?

"It's not boring. I read some books in my husband's study. The collection of books in the study is vast. My husband is indeed a man of unparalleled talent and learning." In order not to be found out, she could only tell the truth from the lies - she did read some books, and she did feel that there were too many books in the study.

Gu Yanyun asked calmly, "I just wonder if my collection of books suits Madam's taste. What books has Madam read?"

Bai Zhi tried to recall the familiar books she had glanced at: "I flipped through Shishuo Xinyu, Sanbao Lun, and Liaofan Sixun."

Gu Yan narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this: "I wonder which sentence in the Three Reports Theory Madam likes the most?"

At this point, Bai Zhi should have said a few words of praise, but she was hesitant to open her mouth.

This booklet only had a short article, all about karma. Bai Zhi only vaguely remembered that the original owner sat in silence in the room for three hours after reading it, wondering what bad things he had done in his previous life that led to such retribution in this life.

But Bai Zhi does not agree with what is written in the article.

Gu Yan didn't rush her, but just waited quietly.

"I don't like any of what you said." Bai Zhi said slowly, "In my opinion, there is no retribution in the world."

After a long moment of contemplation, Gu Yan put on his harmless scholarly air again and swung open his folding fan: "The sun is setting, Madam must be hungry, let's go have dinner together."

Is this the end of the interrogation? Bai Zhi was stunned.

Seeing that she didn't move, Gu Yan asked, "What's the matter? Madam, do you still want to walk around in this room? Aren't you hungry?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Zhi's stomach made a long, growling sound, which was very appropriate.

Gu Yan had an expression that said, "Why don't you come with me when you're so hungry?"

Bai Zhi straightened her sleeves, took a step forward and followed Gu Yan back.

Who cares? The world is big, but eating and drinking are the most important.

The small kitchen really remembered Bai Zhi's instructions and prepared a table full of chicken, duck and fish, with only a few vegetables. The moment Bai Zhi entered the room, the aroma made her drool.

Gu Yan gradually frowned: "Someone come! Call the cook!"

Bai Zhi immediately understood what he wanted to do and explained, "I asked the kitchen to make more meat for me in the daytime."

Gu Yan looked at her, his expression suddenly seemed to be much lighter than before in the shabby house: "Then I will sacrifice my life to accompany you, Madam. From today on, I will also eat more meat."

Bai Zhi waved her hands quickly: "I read in a book that people who like vegetarian food will vomit easily after eating meat. How can I let my husband be so reluctant for me?"

Don't steal my meat!

While Bai Zhi was talking, Gu Yan had already sat down: "Madam, don't worry."

Seeing that he was not convinced, Bai Zhi had no choice but to ignore him and sat down.

After half a full, Bai Zhi began to be absent-minded. She had too many questions to ask. Why did Gu Yan ignore her and send spies to watch her? Why did he bring up the drowning incident at the eldest lady's birthday party? Why did he sleep on the floor beside her? Was the woman in the painting his sweetheart?

And what exactly is he going to use her for?
