Just because she looks weak doesn't mean she's easy to bully.

When the carriage was moving on the street, Cheng Jinchu was bored and lifted the curtain to look outside.

Although the weather is cold, the streets are still bustling, and the sounds of hawking from street vendors can be heard from time to time.

The car was not driving fast. After slowly passing through the downtown area, there was a noodle stall just before leaving the city gate.

It looks like a very inconspicuous stall. It is a shed that looks like it may collapse at any time, but the stall is already full of people. Some people who don’t have seats are willing to eat while standing.

Cheng Jinchu had already smelled the rich aroma and was extremely greedy. With her sharp eyesight, she could see directly the thin slices of meat in the people's noodle bowls, which showed that the chef had excellent knife skills.

Cheng Jinchu swallowed her saliva. She has never been able to control herself when it comes to delicious food. Oh... what a pity. It will probably take some time before she has time to taste this delicacy.

Cheng Jinchu lowered the curtain and began to close her eyes to rest. When she lowered the curtain, she did not notice the two people who hurried past.

Both of them were women, one looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a slim figure and very beautiful, especially her pair of fox eyes which were very attractive;

Next to her followed a short little girl who looked to be under 15 years old. She had dry yellow hair, a skinny body and was very thin.

I have to say that the two of them are somewhat similar, especially the eyes, but the older girl's clothes, although made of the cheapest fabric, also have some cotton padding;

The younger girl's clothes were very thin and had patches all over them, but both of them were holding bags in their hands.

The snow outside the city had piled up very thickly. Normally, there were ox carts available for riding in the village, but after a period of heavy snow, the ox carts could not move easily, so people had to walk out of the village.

When they first left the village, they had to walk on a very difficult road. Once they reached the main road, it became easier to walk on. The snow was lighter, and many dignitaries wanted to go out for fun, so people had been arranged to clean the roads.

The little girl hugged the small bag tightly in her hands. She was too cold. All she could do was to hold the bag which might block some of the wind and snow. She didn't even dare to take a deep breath because the air she inhaled into her lungs was too cold.

"Remember this. Once you enter the Duke's Mansion, we won't know each other. You should do your job well and don't cause any trouble. This is all I can do. Do you understand?"

The one who spoke was the older woman. She was just looking ahead and didn't notice the expression of the girl next to her when she said this.

The girl lowered her head and hummed softly, with disdain in her eyes.

Thinking back to when Ma Xiner, she used to be the daughter of a wealthy family, how could she have ever suffered such hardship? After waking up and returning to that "home", she almost collapsed. To be honest, she had never seen such a shabby house. The house was dark even in the daytime, and her parents were so reluctant to light a candle.

The most important thing is that the original owner did everything at home. The most tiring thing that the two adults in the family did with her useless brother was scolding people. Moreover, it seemed that they quite liked doing this kind of tiring work.

Ma Xiner had played that kind of weird rule game before, the kind of eyes that were waiting for you to make a mistake and then swallow you up, wasn’t that what these people looked like? They just stared straight at him with a faint smile on their lips, especially in that room, with that kind of light and dark scene, that expression was like an unknown creature without any expression, and in order to look more like a human, they barely pulled up the corners of their mouths with external force...

The most terrifying thing is that whenever there is a problem, those people will immediately have a hint of excitement on their faces, and then they will either beat or scold you. After a long time, you will be "swallowed" by them.

Ma Xiner couldn't help trembling every time she thought of such a scene. She was raised as a rich lady and didn't know anything, so she was naturally beaten many times.

The days she spent in that place were so dazed that she even walked to the center of the yard every night when it was quiet, knelt on the ground, and confessed to the moon. She kept wondering if it was because of what she had done in the past that she was sent here to be punished.

To be honest, she would rather be thrown into the frying pan than continue to live here. Unfortunately, she tried to run, but it was useless. Her body had been abused for a long time and she could not run away. Besides, she was young and had no money. Although she often thought about dying, when it really came to a life-and-death situation, her desire to survive would be infinitely magnified.

And then there was that couple, they were simply like demons, always staring at her. Whenever she ran away and was found, they would beat her up so badly that she would have only one breath left. Even if she wanted to die, it would be impossible.

The turning point happened on the day of her grandfather's birthday when the whole family returned to the old house. As soon as she returned, she was thrown into the kitchen to help. The scene around her and the names that sounded familiar made her take several deep breaths and tears came to her eyes.

The aunt who was also busy nearby saw her crying, and noticed that the knife in the child's hand had cut her finger, so she thought she was crying because of the injured finger. The aunt was kind-hearted, so she took her to the back of the house and gave her a small stool so that she could rest on it.

After crying, Ma Xiner scooped a spoonful of water from the large vat next to her and washed away the blood. She bit her lips to hold back from laughing.

Great, she discovered that she didn't just travel through time, she traveled through a book. She had just finished reading the book the day before she died. She remembered every detail of the book. Her identity should be the best friend of the heroine in the book.

The book definitely spends a lot of words describing the heroine and the hero, and her identity is also written about a lot. The most important thing is that she is the heroine's most intimate friend and the strongest assist.

The reason why she discovered that she had traveled through a book today was because the main text did not write about the previous life of this supporting character. She first appeared in the Duke's Mansion. She and the heroine met in Duke Xie's Mansion and worked as maids together.

The heroine Ning Jiao'er and the hero Xie Yu are childhood sweethearts. The heroine was forced into slavery because of her father. Later she was rescued by the hero and bought into the Duke's Mansion. The hero is the eldest son of Duke Xie. The Duke's wife has no son, so this eldest son has always been raised under the name of the Duke's wife, and later he was recorded as the legitimate son.

At the end of the story, the heroine's father was rehabilitated and she was conferred the title of county lady. With her status, she was able to marry the hero.

In the end, her character married the male protagonist's most capable servant, who eventually became the biggest steward of the Duke's Mansion.

Although the main text did not write about the supporting character's previous life, it was mentioned in the extra chapter of the novel. At that time, the heroine was pregnant, and the supporting female character went to chat with her, and the story started with the turning point in the supporting female character's life. At that time, the supporting female character told the heroine that the turning point in her life began with her grandfather's birthday party.

That day, according to the rules, she could have eaten the leftover food after the guests left, but her parents thought it was rare to have good food at a birthday party, so they drove her out and didn't let her eat.

She had been busy all day and her stomach was empty, so she thought of going to the foot of the mountain to dig some wild vegetables to eat. Unexpectedly, she met her aunt who was almost bullied. It happened that the man had his back to the original owner. She took advantage of the night, raised a big stone and knocked the man unconscious, and took away the aunt who was crying and about to faint.

This aunt is her great benefactor. She is the daughter of her grandparents in their old age and also their only daughter. She is usually very favored. The whole family dotes on her, including her incompetent father. Even her younger brother's status in her father's heart is behind this only sister.

Her younger aunt had a childhood sweetheart, a very smart and capable man who worked at the mansion of Duke Xie, under the chief steward. He had already begun arranging for his fiancée to come to the mansion.

The original owner didn't want to live at home, and her aunt happened to say that she wanted to repay her. She tried to ask her aunt to take her to the Duke's Mansion. Unexpectedly, her aunt really told her future uncle-in-law, and her uncle-in-law was really capable and got her in as well.
