I was a housekeeper in ancient times

It was just after Qingming Festival and there were frequent rains, which produced hazy water vapor, like a piece of light and soft gauze, covering the residence of Pingrong Bo.

Green moss grew wildly due to the humidity, occupying every corner. Rainwater fell from the eaves through the gaps in the tiles, forming fine rain curtains.

Two half-grown maids came from both ends of the corridor, each with a white flower pinned in her hair, one holding a teacup and the other holding medicine.

With the sound of the rain falling in the background and no other sounds, they didn't care that their clothes were soaked by the rain and continued to talk about the secrets of the mansion in whispers.

"Does the old lady really want Madam to commit suicide for her husband? But Madam is still so young, the girl she has is still young, and the fourth girl hasn't been found yet..."

"How would you know? This is the will left by the uncle before he died. It is written in black and white that the wife should go with him. Not only our family, but also those over there think that this is the best way."

"No way? Madam is a legitimate daughter, born in a famous family, and has done nothing wrong. How can she not even be accepted there?"

"Tsk, you forgot, his family has an aunt who was divorced and sent home. If the affair is known to everyone, it will make it difficult for the unmarried girls in his family to get married. If the lady really dies for her husband, his family will have a bad reputation. I won't say more. I have to deliver medicine to Mother Lin."

After that, one of the little girls, Xiaohan, came to the servants' room at the end of the backyard with the medicine in her hand. She paused in front of a slightly spacious room and said, "Sister-in-law Wu, I'm here to deliver the medicine to Mother Lin."

Mrs. Wu, who was sitting on a low stool beside the bed, was talking about her dry mouth. She called the little girl in and said, "There is no water in the room. Go get some tea to quench your thirst. I want new tea, not the old tea from before Qingming Festival. It is bitter and hard to drink."

After saying that, Mrs. Wu looked at Mother Lin who was half lying on the bed, with an impatient look on her face.

Seeing that the other party remained silent, she coughed dryly, took out the newly acquired peony silk handkerchief, and couldn't help frowning, muttering in her heart: Why has Mother Lin still looked stupid and dazed after I have been talking for such a long time, as if she didn't listen? What a waste of words.

On second thought, with such a cowardly master, there will naturally be such kind of servants.

She still pretended to be considerate and caring. "Take the medicine first and serve the lady. Please persuade the lady that it is better to die for the sake of justice than to live a life of shame and shamelessness, so as to preserve the reputation of the Bo family."

Seeing Mother Lin on the bed nodding blindly, she became more and more disdainful and thought to herself that she was a proper companion after all, so why did she become so silly when she was sick?

She personally handed the medicine to Mother Lin. The medicine was steaming hot and hot to the touch. Mother Lin didn't pay attention and shuddered from the heat.

It was this scalding that brought Mother Lin back to her senses.

However, the one who came to his senses was not Mother Lin herself, but Lin Weiqiao, who had traveled through the book and entered Mother Lin's body.

Lin Weiqiao took the medicine and said, "Sorry to bother you, sister-in-law. After I drink the medicine, I will go and persuade Madam."

After hearing the satisfactory answer, Mrs. Wu stood up and left with satisfaction.

"Hey, sister-in-law, wait a minute."

"Anything else?"

"Today is the seventh day after Uncle's death, right?"

"You are really sick and confused. You fainted from exhaustion on the fifth day and have been unconscious for two days. Today is the seventh day."

Lin Weiqiao was the only one left in the room. She thought for a moment, looked at the bitter medicine in her hand, endured the bitterness and scald, and swallowed it in one gulp.

She wiped the corners of her mouth with her sleeve, and without caring about her frail body, she put on her clothes and shoes and hurried out.

As she walked down the corridor, familiar memories emerged in her mind. These were the memories of the original owner. These memories were 100% consistent with the content of the novel she read before going to bed.

She traveled into a book, into the novel she read before going to bed.

The novel is about the heroine Yu Muyan, who married Pingrong Earl Lu Yuxuan and worked diligently, taking care of household chores, raising children.

In the end, he was plotted against and killed, and then reborn to be slapped in the face.

According to the plot development, today is the seventh day since Lu Yuxuan faked his death, which is also the seventh day.

Under the double pressure from both her husband's and her own family, Yu Muyan will break down her psychological defenses and crash into Lu Yuxuan's coffin before the seventh day tonight.

Mother Lin, or the current her, is Yu Muyan's companion and confidante.

After Yu Muyan's death, Mother Lin was overly sad and had no one to rely on, so she was bullied and eventually died in her room after drinking arsenic on the day of Yu Muyan's funeral.

Her top priority now is to stop Yu Muyan from committing suicide.

It’s not that she is a saint, and she won’t die for Yu Muyan, but in this era, Yu Muyan is her support and confidence for survival.

She can live without a man, but not without Yu Muyan.

The original owner was an old maid who had signed a death contract with Yu Muyan's uncle. Later, she became Yu Muyan's companion and came to the uncle's house together.

Life and death are all in Yu Muyan's hands.

Even if Yu Muyan died, she would either continue to serve Yu Muyan's daughter or be sent back to Yu Muyan's uncle's house.

In the original owner's memory, Yu Muyan treated the heroine well and the relationship between master and servant was deep.

Since she occupied the original owner's body, she also had to consider the original owner.

If it were the original owner, he would definitely not watch Yu Muyan being forced to death by a group of villains.

As I stepped into Shuangxiyuan, I saw several old women and maids guarding the yard.

Chunqing was the head maid in the courtyard. When she saw her coming, she rushed over as if she had met a savior, "Mom, you are finally awake."

Before she traveled through the book, she was only about twenty years old. Although mother was a professional title, she was not quite used to it. "How is the lady?"

"It's still the same. I only had half a bowl of lotus seed porridge for breakfast. I feel weaker than the past two days."

"Well, who's in there?"

"The old lady and two girls in the family."

"it is good."

The old lady and two girls mentioned by Chunqing do not refer to those in the Bo's Mansion, but Yu Muyan's maternal family, her biological mother, the old lady of the Yu family, and her two biological sisters, the elder sister Yu Mubao and the younger sister Yu Muqin.

If it were someone else, they would just think that someone from her mother’s family came to comfort and support Yu Muyan.

Yu Muyan was a new widow with three daughters. Her second daughter, Fan, went missing some time ago and has not been found yet.

When the mother's family came to visit, they were there to help their daughter.

But the mother and daughter of the Yu family came not to help Yu Muyan, but to persuade Yu Muyan to commit suicide, just like the Bo family did.

As soon as I entered the room, I first smelled a pungent smell of incense, followed by the messy smell of Old Mrs. Yu, and the saliva flying all over the air.

Lin Weiqiao walked in calmly. No one would care about her as a servant.

Old Madam Yu said earnestly, "Sister Yan, it's not that I don't love you, but you have to think about our Yu family and your sisters. You can't just think about yourself. You don't have a husband, and you don't have a son by your side. Do you think your wolf-like in-laws can tolerate you?"
