It's over, this is bad. I had hoped that this bowl of carbs would help cool down Xiao Taohong, but it ended up making her even more irritable.

She pushed the porridge forward, stood up and was about to go out.

Lin Zhihe hurriedly tried to stop her, but she was too strong and was dodged by him.

"Where are you going?" Lin Zhihe asked, holding his waist.

"I'm going to ask these slaves why they sent rotten porridge to the Vermillion Bird Palace."

"My master, you have been imprisoned for ten years, but you are still a lady. How can you treat me like this?" Xiao Taohong looked aggrieved and rolled up her sleeves to prepare for a fight.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin Zhihe quickly stopped her and deliberately threatened her: "You can't even leave the door now. If you go out, you will be disobeying the Queen's order and your entire clan will be executed!"

Think about the bond between you and the Nine Clans!

When the Nine Clans were mentioned, Xiao Taohong calmed down instantly and looked at Lin Zhihe steadily.

"Yes!" Xiao Taohong suddenly realized, and then she was full of fighting spirit, "I am the only one left in my nine clans!" After saying that, she raised her leg and was about to walk out.

...

No, this is not a solution.

"Xiao Taohong, can you farm?"

The sudden topic made Xiao Taohong confused. "Miss, why are you asking this? You don't mean to..."

Lin Zhihe snapped his fingers and said, "My little Taohong is so smart."

In fact, Xiao Taohong's worries are not unreasonable. Either there is no food or the food is rotten. This is really not a solution. Instead of waiting for death, it is better to start farming.

"Miss, even if there is no food, there is no need to farm. If you want anything, I will ask someone to bring a letter to the master, and the master will send it to us."

"Hey, that's different." Lin Zhihe looked at Xiao Taohong and suddenly realized, "What did you say? You can write a letter to my dad, no, my dad?"

Xiao Taohong nodded and looked at Lin Zhihe with clear eyes.

"But I'm already imprisoned now. Can things still be delivered in?"

"Of course." Xiao Taohong nodded again, "Sending things to the palace has nothing to do with you, young lady. Our master loves you so much, he will definitely send anything you need to the palace."

"Besides, our master is a minister, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to do these things."

"Will Dad send it to me?"

Xiao Taohong looked annoyed, "Yes, I always forget that you have lost your memory! Your food, clothing, and the snacks you ate yesterday were all sent to the palace by the master from the Lin Mansion."

"Nothing in the palace tastes this good!" Xiao Taohong said the most vicious comment in the most innocent tone.

I had only heard that the original owner was favored before, but I didn't expect that she would be favored to this extent. The original owner's father even sent supplies to the original owner.

That’s not right. If the original owner’s father cared about her so much, he should have known about her being grounded. Why was there no movement?

"Has my family heard about me? Will they save me?" A spark of hope ignited in Lin Zhihe's heart.

"I guess the master hasn't heard about it yet. If he had heard about it, he would definitely write a letter to scold you." Xiao Taohong said in a cheerful tone, not feeling embarrassed at all.

It's over. All my plans have failed.

Seeing Lin Zhihe's good expression, Xiao Taohong quickly came to her and said, "Miss, don't worry. You used to be scolded every day at home, but now you are scolded every now and then, or in letters. It's much better than before."

Is this the case that too many lice won’t itch, and too many debts won’t worry you?

Before she could think about why Lin Zhihe was always scolded, she sorted out her thoughts and said, "Daddy, can you send me everything? We can't even eat right now, can Daddy send me food and vegetables?"

Xiao Taohong suddenly felt embarrassed. She seemed to be thinking very hard, and then she spoke slowly: "That's not possible. At most I can give you some silks, satins, cakes and pastries."

But these were the things they needed least. People couldn't eat snacks every day, and they didn't need silk and satin. They couldn't even go out, so what was the point of silk and satin!

So, they still have to rely on themselves.

Grow some vegetables, raise some chickens, and if allowed, raise some sheep for meat. If conditions permit, raise some dairy cows so that they can drink fresh milk!

That way, she would definitely be able to survive until the time came for souls to be swapped again.

As Lin Zhihe expected, the attitude of the imperial kitchen towards them changed from ignoring them to saying they would not die even if they went hungry for a few meals. As for how many meals they would go hungry for, it depended on the mood of the imperial kitchen. If they were in a bad mood, they would go hungry for nine meals in three days.

Xiao Taohong kept stuffing snacks into her mouth, and even carefully caught the snack crumbs that she usually disdained in her hands, for fear of wasting any.

He raised the snack crumbs towards Lin Zhihe and said, "Miss, you really don't want to eat any at all?" His eyes, like black grapes, rolled over as he looked at Lin Zhihe.

Lin Zhihe sighed helplessly.

There were not many snacks left, and Xiao Taohong was at the stage of growing up. As a female college student, although she had traveled through time and space to become the body of a young lady from a prominent family, she still had a will of steel and could hold on.

I don’t know when the supplies will arrive at Lin Zhihe’s house.

Lin Zhihe looked at Xiao Taohong weakly: "Xiao Taohong, how often does your family send us things?"

"I'm not sure about that. It depends on you, Miss, when you need it. Usually, you write to the master for what you want, and he will send it to you in two or three days."

Suddenly hearing the exciting news, Lin Zhihe opened his eyes and his voice became much louder: "When was the last time I wrote a letter?"

Xiao Taohong put all the snack crumbs into her mouth and cried out before answering Lin Zhihe's question, "The last time was probably six or seven days ago." Xiao Taohong rolled her eyes and said, "Yes, it was seven days ago. The food was delivered three or four days later. The weather was very good that day, and the moon was particularly round. The master also brought me a piece of moon cake to eat, so I remember it very clearly."

Now I can only passively wait for my family to find out.

But when did the family find out?

She wouldn't starve to death before traveling through time again.

In order to prevent this from happening, Lin Zhihe sat up abruptly, startling Xiao Taohong who was still pondering over the snack crumbs.

"We have to think of a solution. If we go on like this, the two of us might starve to death." When Lin Zhihe said the word 'starve to death', infinite sadness surged in his heart.

It's the same experience of traveling through time, but she doesn't even know why she traveled through time. The original owner left behind a lot of mess, and now there's a possibility that she will starve to death. This experience of traveling through time is not pleasant either.

Oh my god! She usually reads cool novels...

The heartless Xiao Taohong seemed to see Lin Zhihe's sadness. She took Lin Zhihe's hand and said to her solemnly, "Miss, believe me, you won't starve to death. The master will know your situation in the palace in a few days and will rescue you in a few days."

She knew that Xiao Taohong was trying to comfort her, but she got a greasy hand...

After eating snacks, you must wipe your hands with a towel!

Seeing that Lin Zhihe didn't believe it, Xiao Taohong continued to add, "Miss, you used to get into trouble all the time. The master always said he would not care about you anymore, but he always cared about you, really!"

Facing Xiao Taohong's clear and transparent gaze, Lin Zhihe slowly said, "Have you ever caused such a big disaster before?"

"That's not the case." Xiao Taohong herself was not sure, and even her voice became weaker.

……

She used to think that she was a pure and foolish college student. Compared with Xiao Taohong, she was still a dwarf.

In the middle of the night, Lin Zhihe tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.

Suddenly, a strange bird cry was heard outside the courtyard gate.

It's too regular, calling three times and then stopping, calling three times again and then stopping, and repeating this process over and over again.

Xiao Taohong instantly turned from sadness to joy, "Master, the master has sent us a letter."

This news gave the powerless Lin Zhihe hope. Even though she was under house arrest, letters could still be sent to her home. It seemed that her father, the Shangshu, had some ability.

But in a flash, Xiao Taohong jumped off the bed and ran to the gate of the courtyard. Lin Zhihe only saw a residual shadow.

A little eunuch wearing the same red clothes as Liu Li was standing outside the door, bowing and waiting respectfully for Lin Zhihe.

Xiao Taohong took the letter and asked the eunuch, "Did Minister Lin ask you to come?"

The young eunuch knelt down towards Lin Zhihe and said, "It was Minister Lin who sent me here to bring Miss Lin a letter from home."

"Can you help me pass a message to my father?"

"This..." The eunuch hesitated. He usually brought a reply letter, but why did he change it to a verbal message this time? What if he conveyed it wrongly? But Miss Lin was not easy to mess with, so he could only say: "Master, you say it."

Hearing that he could bring a message, Lin Zhihe almost jumped up with joy, and hurriedly said to the eunuch: "Tell my father that I am now under house arrest in the palace and cannot leave, so I need three things: food, seeds for growing vegetables, and tools. Just these three things. Do you understand?"

The young eunuch felt relieved and repeated Lin Zhihe's words: "A lady needs three things: food, seeds for growing vegetables, and tools." After that, he looked up at Lin Zhihe.

Lin Zhihe nodded in agreement.

The young eunuch first took a step back, then turned and left.

"Hurry up!" Lin Zhihe suddenly remembered and shouted at the eunuch's back.
