The Concubine's Daughter Travels Through Time and Space and Takes the Road of Confrontation

Three years have passed in a flash. Today is the day when Lord Lu, the prefect of Qingzhou, returns to Beijing to report on his work. All the prominent people in Qingzhou have come to the dock to see Lord Lu off.

The eulogy at the dock was sung a few times, and Lu Ling said goodbye to several friends and colleagues. A large ship stopped behind him. Workers on the ship were carrying boxes and cages to the cabin. The housekeeper and several security guards were watching over the scene.

The female members of the family had entered the cabin early. Nanny Chang was leading a group of maids and servants to spread out the bedding. The entire journey back to Beijing would be by water, and it was expected to take a month, so all the necessities for daily life had to be put in place.

Several young masters in the mansion followed Zhang, along with Concubine Yao. Three years had passed and there was still only Concubine Yao in the mansion. Concubine Yao was slightly plump and looked even more wealthy. Behind her followed a wet nurse holding a baby.

Zhang warned, "The journey back to Beijing is long. Please send someone to tell me if you and your brother need anything." Aunt Yao nodded cautiously. Zhang looked to the side and smiled, "In the blink of an eye, the third sister has grown up so much and can already walk." Aunt Yao looked over and smiled, "Yes, it's Madam who takes care of her."

Lu Yun broke free from Caihe's hand and stepped forward, seemingly wanting to hug Aunt Yao's legs. Zhang watched quietly with a smile on her face. Aunt Yao hesitated for a moment before grabbing the Third Young Lady's outstretched hand, somewhat delighted. "As expected, our Third Young Lady is leaving."

Zhang laughed out loud, "Wang'er will be here soon. You as a mother have to be careful. A child's first words and first steps are always different."

After they had talked for a while, they heard firecrackers outside, knowing it was time to leave. Aunt Yao rose to take her leave. Zhang left Hui'er behind and asked Jinhe to take the eldest and third daughters back.

This time back in Beijing, the eldest and third daughters lived together. Last year, the mistress had given each of them a maid. The eldest daughter was named Xiaohong, and the third daughter was named Xiaocui. The names were chosen by Jinhe for their simplicity and ease of memory.

Lu Rong returned to the bedroom excitedly. She poked her sister's chubby cheeks and kept muttering, "Is Yunyun happy? She's going back to Beijing to see her grandmother."

Lu Yun pouted and stretched out her chubby hands to brush away the fingers on her face. "Mom told me that you should prepare an embroidery on your way back this time for the teacher."

Lu Rong withdrew her hand in annoyance and began to pick at the small gold bracelet on her wrist. "Not only that, mother also asked me to write ten large calligraphy pieces for the teacher." After saying this, she remembered something and looked at her sister cunningly. "I started learning embroidery from Jinhe when I was four years old. Yunyun, you are almost there too. I think it would be better for you to learn with me."

Cai He hurriedly said, "Miss, you can't do this. This is a master that Madam invited specially for you. My—my daughter is still young." Lu Yun nodded and said, "Sister Yun is still young. Big sister, you can teach her after you learn it." Lu Rong was puzzled, "Why not?"

Jin He interrupted at the right moment, "Miss, you haven't finished writing today's calligraphy yet. What if Madam asks about it tonight?"

After hearing this, Lu Rong didn't care about anything else and hurriedly sat down at the table to start preparing.

Jinhe winked at Caihe, and Caihe lowered her head and followed him out. When she came back, her eyes were red. She saw her young lady sitting next to the eldest lady, eating the cakes on the table, but her eyes were fixed on the table.

She walked behind the two of them and served them closely. For a moment, the cabin was very quiet.

The first half of the journey took them along a large river within Qingzhou, flanked by steep mountains. It was late autumn, and the occasional cry of monkeys could be heard. Although the current was turbulent, the Lu family's boat had a large draft and was deep enough for the crew to feel little shaking. Once they left Qingzhou and entered the plains, the river became windy and rough, causing the boat to pitch and roll constantly.

Zhang ordered Jinhe to collect the young ladies' and young masters' homework and brewed some anti-dizziness medicine, but it still didn't stop them. The eldest daughter, Lu Rong, was the first to collapse, clung to the bedpost and vomited non-stop. After three days of suffering, her face turned pale. Despite Zhang's anxiety, she could do nothing but ask Nanny Chang to personally oversee the situation.

Before one problem was solved, another one arose. Aunt Yao ran over with tears and snot, saying that something was wrong with her brother.

Zhang's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly sent for a doctor. The doctor replied that the young master was already experiencing some discomfort with the local climate and was also suffering from dizziness, so the attack was quite severe. Zhang asked if there was a good remedy, but the doctor shook his head and said, "The best way is to have the young master travel slowly by land. Otherwise, such a bumpy ride would be bad for him."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Yao collapsed to the ground in fear. After she came to her senses, she knelt before the mistress, hugged her legs and burst into tears. Wang Ge'er, who was lying on the bed, also burst into tears, and the cabin suddenly became extremely noisy.

Zhang rubbed her brows wearily. "Master, what do you think?" Lu Lingcong had originally wanted to take advantage of the next two days to carefully appreciate the scenery along the coast and express his feelings. However, the continuous series of family matters really made him a little overwhelmed. He nodded, thinking that this was the only way.

"But Madam will still have to take care of the personnel and vehicles." Zhang forced a smile and said, "Master, please don't be like this. This is all my job. After I have made the arrangements here, please assign a few guards to protect the mother and daughter." Lu Lingcong nodded.

There were ports along the official road. They chose the nearest port and got off the boat with several maids and servants. Two green-covered carriages carried the group towards Kyoto.

After a few days of shaking, they finally calmed down for a while. Zhang raised her hand and touched her daughter's thin cheek, saying with infinite love, "Thankfully, you made it through. The second half will be a smooth journey. When the time comes, listen to your sister Jinhe and take good care of yourself." Lu Rong nodded sickly and looked at her sister Lu Yun, "Mother, it's a good thing that Yunyun had a safe journey. Otherwise, she would have followed Aunt Yao."

Zhang smiled. "It'll be fine if we just get through these little storms. When I was sent to work with your grandfather, the boat we took was much smaller than the ones you're on." She tapped her daughter's nose with her finger. "When I first heard your grandfather say that children who jump and run are healthy, I didn't believe it. Now look at you, your sister, and your brother. There's actually some truth to that." She tucked her daughter in before quietly leaving. Rong Jie yawned slightly and fell into a deep sleep.

I don’t know how long it took, but in the darkness, a small figure sat up from the inside of the bed. She moved very quietly, got out of bed as if she was familiar with the place, picked up a cake from the table and put it into her mouth.

Lu Yun was so hungry that she felt very sad as she gnawed the cake in her hand. It had been three years and eight months since she traveled from the modern era to this unknown dynasty.

At first, Lu Yun thought she was a favored child of God, and perhaps she would have a system or space-time cheat. However, she waited for three full years before realizing that, not only did she not have a cheat, she might even be a substandard girl from a transmigrating girls' school.

One of her body parameters is abnormal - this body is very strong. At the age of two, she could lift one leg of the bed. The ancient beds were made of solid wood. And with her unusually strong energy, she was able to charge for three hours and last for three days.

The price is that she activates her gluttonous attribute. Others are full after eating one bun, but she has to eat seven. If she does any heavy work, she will never stop eating.

Third, she is a concubine's daughter, the kind of concubine's daughter who will either fly to the top of the tree and become a phoenix, or be crushed into mud under the flowers and stones under the feet.

To be honest, she hasn't had a full meal in more than three years since she came here. When she first arrived, she was confused and hungry and even snatched the snacks from her elder sister and golden egg brother. Later, when she grew up, she found that her elder sister and golden egg brother took the initiative to save their snacks to feed her.

But she still couldn't eat enough, so she had to get up every night while everyone else was asleep and finish her plate. Like any other night, Lu Yun easily devoured three plates of snacks, poured herself a pot of tea, and slowly crawled to bed, contented.

The next day, Jin He looked at the empty plate of snacks thoughtfully.
