Time Travel: Female Cannon Fodder of the Republic of China

When Mother Li saw this, she raised her handkerchief and waved her hands in panic, "What are you doing, Princess? It's so disgraceful, so disgraceful!"

"You don't act like a princess at all. You're crazier than a crazy girl."

Ai Shutong: "I am a crazy girl. I will tell your master that my mother died when I was two years old."

"I heard that your master once had a child who died when he was two years old. Could it be that he has gone insane and mistook me for that child?"

"The barefoot are not afraid of the ones wearing shoes. Go back and tell her that if she wants the whole capital to know about her scandal, she should come at her with her horses."

These words shocked Mother Li. How did Gege know all this?

Could it be that the widow who brought misfortune upon her father, husband and children told her this? This is outrageous!

Seeing that Mother Li refused to leave, Ai Shutong gritted her teeth and swung the firewood in her hand hard at her.

Mother Li cried out "Ouch!" and came to her senses. Seeing that Ai Shutong was really brave enough to hit her, she ran out while shouting "Help!"

Hong Xing stared at Ai Shutong blankly, as if she was frightened. How could a lady from a rich family behave like this? She looked so weak and frail, yet she dared to hit someone with a stick?!

Ai Shutong bared her teeth and frightened Hong Xing, but when she saw her still standing there, she became extremely anxious.

Why don't you run? She didn't want to hit anyone, she was forced to do it. Since you don't run, don't blame me.

As he said this he picked up the wooden stick and poked it at Hong Xing. Before he touched her, she screamed "Ah--", covered her head and ran away.

Ai Shutong let out a deep breath, finally she was gone!

When I turned around, I saw Lin's mother sitting on the ground in fear, looking at Ai Shutong in disbelief.

He turned his head to look at Old Li again, and saw him standing at the door with an expressionless face. He nodded at him approvingly.

If you want to be brave, you have to be a man. Just look at Old Li and Aunt Lin and you will see it.

But what she didn't know was that Old Li's legs were so weak from fear that he stood there for a long time before he trembled and returned to the gatehouse on the east side of the gate.

Then again, seeing that Mother Lin was really frightened by her, Ai Shutong could only step forward to help her up and walk towards the east courtyard.

When we were almost at the Chuihua Gate, we saw Mrs. Li, Mrs. Ma and other tenants in the front yard looking out through the crack in the door.

Ai Shutong waved her hands and comforted him: "It's okay, it's okay. I drove away the person who came to ask for money. Everyone can live in peace."

After saying that, he turned around, passed through the hanging flower gate, and returned to the main room in the east courtyard.

After putting Lin Ma on the couch, Ai Shutong sat down on the ground out of tiredness.

Mother Lin: "Ouch! My lady, the ground is cold, get up quickly."

Ai Shutong rolled her eyes in an indecent manner, "You have the energy to shout now, but when you came back just now, why didn't you walk by yourself?"

Mother Lin muttered for a few seconds, then sighed helplessly, "Alas! I am useless."

Ai Shutong stood up, patted her skirt casually, sat down on the stool in front of the table, poured herself a glass of water,

"You are very useful. Let me ask you, who has the deed to this house?"

Mother Lin: "This house is your Guo Luoma's dowry, so it is naturally in your Guo Luoma's hands."

When Ai Shutong heard this, she choked on her drink, coughed a few times, and asked hurriedly, "What is Guo Luoma?"

Mother Lin: "Your mother's mother."

Ai Shutong: "Can you say something I can understand? Isn't it better to just call her Madam Li?"

Mother Lin said hurriedly: "Okay, okay."

Ai Shutong: "Is Madam Li still alive?"

Mother Lin: "Dead, died a long time ago."

Ai Shutong glared at Lin's mother, "Then what you said is just nonsense? It sounds just like what you said yourself. You are so useless."

Mother Lin was not convinced, "Who said I'm useless? I know who has the title deed."

Ai Shutong's eyes lit up, "Hurry up and tell me!"

Mother Lin: "Of course it's in your uncle's hands."

Ai Shutong, "How many uncles do I have?"

Mother Lin held up three fingers and said, "I have three uncles. The eldest uncle was adopted, the second uncle was born to Madam Li, and the third uncle was born to Uncle Li's concubine."

Ai Shutong: "The house deed should be in the hands of my second uncle."

Mother Lin shook her head. "Your eldest uncle and second uncle died a long time ago, even before Uncle Li and Old Madam Li died."

Ai Shutong opened her eyes wide and asked curiously, "Why did he die so early?"

Mother Lin rolled her eyes like Ai Shutong did.

Ai Shutong yelled, "Mother Lin, you've become a bad person. You don't follow the rules."

Mother Lin waved her handkerchief indifferently, "You can't follow the rules! I wanted to follow them before, but you didn't let me."

"Now you're asking me to guard it, I can't go back."

"It's just like you said, from what to what?"

Ai Shutong: "It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality."

Mother Lin clapped her hands and said, "Yes, that's it."

Ai Shutong quickly brought the topic back to the topic, "The house deed is in the hands of my third uncle?"

Mother Lin nodded, "Nine out of ten."

Ai Shutong asked whimsically: "If I ask for it, will he give it to me?"

Unexpectedly, Mother Lin nodded.

Ai Shutong asked in surprise: "Why?"

Mother Lin: "You don't know how famous Li Jingli is. If you grab someone, eight out of ten people will know his name."

Ai Shutong: "What do you mean?"

Mother Lin: "He is the youngest son of Lord Li. He has been dealing with foreigners since he was a child. Later, he did business with them and made a fortune. Everyone said that he was the Tao Zhugong of the modern world."

Ai Shutong suddenly realized that this was the case.

"With a brother like this, why is Li Yanran still so stingy and only gives him thirty taels a month?"

Mother Lin jumped up from the bed and said, "My dear young lady, how can you call your mother by her name? If people know about this..."

Before she could finish her words, Ai Shutong interrupted her, "Okay, Mother Lin, didn't I tell you that my mother died a long time ago?"

"Li Yanran would rather not have me. If her man didn't know about my existence, she wouldn't be able to do it openly, and I would have died long ago."

These words frightened Mother Lin so much that she sat back on the couch, stroking her chest and saying, "My dear lady, please don't say such things. Such words are too..."

Ai Shutong: "Is it too big to be rebellious?"

"I don't think so."

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense. I want to get the deed to this house."

Mother Lin sighed worriedly, "What's the point of getting the title deed?"

"As a young lady, I shouldn't tell you this. But you are already grown up, and the Prince's Mansion doesn't recognize you. What are you going to do with your life?"

"If you want to marry well, you must have a good family background, you..."

Ai Shutong: "Stop! Aunt Lin, stop nagging and say something useful. Where does Li Jingli live?"

Mother Lin looked at her with pity and said, "Your third uncle lives in Santa Alley, West City."

Ai Shutong: "Okay, I understand."

"By the way, Aunt Lin, do I have a household registration certificate?"
