Time Travel: Female Cannon Fodder of the Republic of China

Ai Shutong took advantage of the gap between Meng Bailu's words and held her hand with her backhand, "Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years."

"Don't worry, I will go to Rongshou Hall and Ruyi Hall right away to pay my respects to the old lady and the madam and thank them for their kindness."

With a casual glance, she saw Jin Hengsu looking at Meng Bailu intently.

Ai Shutong said meaningfully, "You are really a good wife to the master!"

Meng Bailu turned her head and looked at Jin Hengshu shyly, "Master works hard every day for this family. I should do anything for him."

Ai Shutong looked at the couple who were looking at each other affectionately, and thought of Li Yanran, Chu Yiwan, Wang Xuehui, and the many concubines who had no children and were sold out by Li Yanran...

She thought that Meng Bailu would grow old one day, and when her charm faded, another young, beautiful, and smart woman would replace her and stand next to Jin Hengsu.

Rong Shou Hall.

Ai Shutong, accompanied by Liu Shun, Shuangxi and two servants, came to Rongshou Hall which had been sealed long ago.

The old woman on the kang was wearing a purple-red robe with dark patterns and a dark brown fur-edged vest. Her gray hair was covered by a wig, and she had a big wig on her head. Unlike the last time I saw her with a head full of pearls and jade, this time it was mostly covered with velvet flowers.

The wrinkles around her mouth were sunken, and she was holding a big pipe, which flickered with her inhalation and exhalation, leaving a mark on her face, making her look like an old monster.

Ai Shutong stood straight in the middle of the room, frowning.

Liu Shun suddenly coughed.

Ai Shutong bowed down directly,

"Shutong, pay your respects to the old lady."

The old woman handed the pipe to Haitang and glanced at Ai Shutong. "Your father is an ungrateful person, and you are no worse. Get out of here! Don't embarrass yourself in front of me!"

The last sentence was said a little hastily, causing a coughing fit.

Ai Shutong's expression remained unchanged, still smiling, "Shutong will remember the old lady's teachings."

The smoke was too choking, so she didn't stay for long. She quickly stood up and walked out without looking back.

Liu Shun, Shuangxi and others hurriedly followed.

After a while, Ai Shutong came to Ruyi Hall again.

Ruyi Hall is now more majestic than Rongshou Hall. There are two maids standing outside the door. At this moment, a little maid with a beautiful nose and almond eyes is reaching out to stop Ai Shutong, "Miss, please wait. I will go and report to the Madam."

As he said this, he exchanged glances with another maid before lifting the curtain and entering the room.

It took more than half an hour since she entered there, and Ai Shutong was shivering from the cold.

What an honest man being bullied. If I had just entered the mansion, I would have jumped up and smashed things...

Now Li Yanran and Jin Hengshu think they have her under control and are trying to intimidate her in various ways.

Just as I was thinking about it, the little girl came out, "Miss Lao, you've been waiting for a long time, Madam, please."

After saying that, the two little girls cooperated tacitly to help Ai Shutong lift the heavy door curtain.

As soon as Ai Shutong stepped in, she felt a warm breeze coming over her.

My nose was irritated and I sneezed.

Li Yanran, who was already seated in the hall, immediately covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief in disgust.

"You have a cold?! Why don't you just stay in Chun Yi Pavilion? Are you trying to infect me by coming here?!"

Ai Shutong didn't stop, she made a semicircle with her legs, turned around and walked away...

The old lady is not serving me anymore!

A bunch of lunatics!

Early in the morning of November 7th.

Ai Shutong got up, took out the Beiman Girls' School uniform and put it on, then told Shuangxi, "Go and bring me breakfast. I'll eat it so I can go to school."

Shuangxi and Cailian put down their toiletries and left the house together.

One ran to the kitchen and the other went to Caiyun Pavilion.

Jin Hengsu and Meng Bailu just stood up.

The maid Bai Zhi reported through the curtain, "Cai Lian is here and said that the young lady is going to school today."

Jin Hengsu thought for a few seconds and looked at Meng Bailu.

Meng Bailu smiled and said, "We have someone in Beiman Girls' Club. If she wants to go, she can go. It won't go wrong!"

Jin Hengshu touched her nose affectionately with his finger, "When you have time, invite your senior sister out to listen to a play and drink tea!"

"The master will pay you!"

Meng Bailu snuggled into Jin Hengsu's arms with a smile on her face.

***

Ai Shutong jumped onto the carriage happily, pretending not to notice Jin Minfan, who was looking conflicted.

After the two of them sat down, the carriage drove out of the Jin Mansion with a "da da da" sound.

"Do you want to get married?"

Ai Shutong knew that this girl was not someone who could keep her words to herself.

She replied indifferently, "The master chose me. I don't want to marry, so what can I do?"

Jin Minfan fell silent.

Ai Shutong began to close her eyes and rest. Although they met many times, they usually ignored each other.

Unexpectedly, when they were almost at Beiman Girls' High School, Jin Minfan whispered, "If you really don't want to, you can find another way. I have six dollars here. Do you want it?"

Ai Shutong opened her eyes in surprise and looked at her.

Jin Minfan twisted his body uncomfortably.

Ai Shutong immediately withdrew her gaze.

She really didn't expect that a young lady raised in a feudal family would have such bold ideas.

She couldn't help but reflect on her past arrogance.

Just because she was a time traveler from the 21st century, she always regarded the people around her as antiques. When interacting with them, she unconsciously developed a mentality of "you are not as good as me".

But today she realized that she was wrong.

Jin Minfan, a little girl who had been brainwashed by feudal ideas for more than ten years, was able to break through the shackles and come up with such bold ideas.

Who dares to say that she is an old-fashioned person who has no thoughts or opinions of her own? !

Of course, Ai Shutong would not be so shocked and moved by this as to be foolish as to tell her that she was planning to run away.

But at this moment, she felt curious about Jin Minfan, "Don't you want to get married?"

Jin Minfan nodded innocently, "No, I like going to school. I can't go to school after I get married."

Ai Shutong suddenly became worried about this silly girl.

Because she knew that Jin Hengsu sent them to school not because he wanted them to learn a lot of knowledge, but just wanted to raise their value so that he could sell them for a good price in the future.

"Then you should save more money. No matter what you want to do in the future, you can't do it without money."

After thinking for a while, she gave an example, "Look, you want to study, but if the master doesn't pay for you to study, you can't study!"

Jin Minfan nodded in agreement.

Ai Shutong continued, "I'm not much older than you. You will probably be sent out by the master soon."

She stared hard into Jin Minfan's eyes, trying to make her see the worry in her eyes. "So you should save money..."

Jin Minfan seemed to have thought of something and suddenly shuddered.

Ai Shutong didn't say anything else, leaving Jin Minfan in deep thought.

Soon the carriage stopped, and Ai Shutong got off the carriage and walked towards the school without saying hello, as she did in the past.

Her arrival surprised her deskmate Yue Shuyi.

"Shutong, I thought I would never see you again! I heard you were getting married soon."
