Traveling through time and space

"Second Young Master, take good rest. Young Master, you are too weak to bathe, but you can't wear this outfit anymore. You just sweated a lot, so you need to change into something fresh to avoid catching a cold. Use a hot towel to wipe your body to make him feel refreshed. Then, eat some light food and have a good sleep, and you will be fine."

"Thank you Miss Yuanyuan for your concern." Liu Yuanyuan bowed and went out. Mother Yan was already waiting for her. Liu Yuanyuan was flattered. Mother Yan had always been by the old lady's side, which meant that she was an important person.

"Mother Yan, Yuanyuan is not worthy of your service. If you have any errands, please tell me. The old lady has given Yuanyuan a new life. Yuanyuan is willing to be a slave in the Cai Mansion."

"Silly child, stop talking so much. Go wash and comb your hair, have dinner, and then go talk to the old lady. The old lady likes you very much. The mansion doesn't have many good clothes prepared right now. Madam Yan asked the maids to get some clothes that haven't been worn yet. You can put them on first. The old lady will send someone to the county town to buy some suitable clothes for you later."

"Then Madam Yan, can you ask someone to go later? Yuanyuan wants to prescribe some medicine for the Second Young Master to take. That way, his illness will heal faster."

"Okay, Meili, go tell the old lady that Miss Yuanyuan will be here later." Mother Yan asked a girl who followed her to pass on the message. After entering the house, Liu Yuanyuan was stunned. The big bucket and the water for bathing were ready, but as soon as she stepped in, Liu Yuanyuan stepped back.

"Mother Yan, Yuanyuan is a slave and doesn't deserve such treatment." Liu Yuanyuan saluted.

"Silly child, the Cai family is a kind family. They are very good even to their servants. You can go and take a bath without worry. Mother Yan knows that you have been beaten and it is inconvenient for you. Mother Yan will help you."

These words touched Lu Yuanyuan, not to mention Liu Yuanyuan, "Mother Yan, thank you, Yuanyuan has never enjoyed such an experience." Being able to take a bath was a great temptation for Lu Yuanyuan. Who cares what will happen in the future? Just feel comfortable first. Besides, the old lady of the Cai family looked really good. Liu Yuanyuan obediently entered the house. Mother Yan was also a woman anyway. Liu Yuanyuan turned his back to her and prepared to take off his clothes, but there was some blood on his clothes from the fight yesterday, so he could only step back gently.

"My child, does it hurt? It must hurt a lot." Mother Yan's voice was a little choked.

"It really doesn't hurt, Mommy Yan, don't be sad, it will be Yuanyuan's fault." Liu Yuanyuan endured the pain and took off all her clothes.

"Child, go into the water slowly, be careful of the wound, it might hurt a lot."

"Mother Yan, why are you so nice to Yuanyuan? And that old lady? Yuanyuan looked at the old lady just now and felt so familiar. I felt like I'd seen her somewhere before. But that's impossible. Yuanyuan has never left Yufang Village since she was born. It's impossible for her to have met the old lady. The old lady has a kind face. Maybe Yuanyuan saw her in a dream."

"Yuanyuan, do they beat you all day long?"

"Mother Yan, do you want Yuanyuan to tell the truth?" That memory made Lu Yuanyuan, not Liu Yuanyuan, burst into tears. "After Yuanyuan was two years old, she went to her uncle and aunt's house to pick pig grass. After she was five, Yuanyuan had to wash clothes for her brothers and sisters every day, cook three meals a day for the family, feed her younger siblings, and after putting them to sleep, she had to pick pig grass again, then go home to wash dishes and their clothes. By the time she finished all this, it was already daybreak and she had to make breakfast."

"Yuanyuan, when do you go to bed?"

"Aunt said that Yuanyuan is slow at work and has to sleep less to finish the housework. Only when the housework is done can Yuanyuan have food to eat, otherwise he will be beaten."

"Is this how you've been all these years?"

"More or less, but life has been better since then."

"Are your uncle and aunt treating you better?"

"No, it was Granny Jiang who taught Yuanyuan to be lazy. So every time we went to pick pig grass, Yuanyuan would pick the grass quickly so that he could take a nap. Granny Jiang would give Yuanyuan some food and the grass she picked. She said that Yuanyuan's father was very kind to her when he was alive, so she helped Yuanyuan a lot. She also taught Yuanyuan to read and write."

"Then why did your uncle and aunt sell you to this Dujiawan?"

"My uncle's older brother and younger brother both need to study. Without the tuition, my aunt is thinking of marrying Yuanyuan off to earn some money."

"Doesn't your uncle care about you? You are his niece."

"Uncle doesn't dare to intervene, and Auntie will beat people at any time. Mother Yan, it's so comfortable lying in the water. I don't feel any pain in my body." Liu Yuanyuan laughed while crying.

"Wash yourself. Mother Yan will go get some medicine and apply it on you. You have so many scars on your back."

"Thank you, Mother Yan. You've been so kind to Yuanyuan." Mother Yan left. Liu Yuanyuan sat up and looked around, confirming she was covered in bruises. The Du family had been incredibly cruel, beating her like this. The clothes she'd taken off were stained with blood. Lu Yuanyuan sighed deeply. How had she ended up here? The current dynasty was probably a figment of her imagination, as she didn't remember studying it. It was called the Qingyang Dynasty, and this was the 37th year. It was just that Liu Yuanyuan had been so miserable. She looked around, wondering if they hadn't given her some kind of space hack or something, at least to keep her alive. But she knew Liu Yuanyuan had entered the Du family in rags. The Du family had only prepared one set of clothes that one of their daughters had discarded, and that was probably it. They had nothing else. If there were none, there would be nothing. Wouldn't it be better for me to be self-reliant? She stood up and put her clothes on in the same order she'd taken them off.

"Yuanyuan, Mother Yan is coming in." I had just finished getting dressed when someone knocked on the door and came in. "Yuanyuan, the old lady has arranged your room. Mother Yan will take you to your room and apply some medicine on you so that your wound will heal faster."

"Thank you, Mother Yan." Liu Yuanyuan bowed. The more courtesy, the better. This dress is a little bigger, but it is still a hundred times better than before. As Mother Yan walked into a courtyard, she wrote a letter to the charity hall.

"Yuanyuan, this is the guest house in the mansion. The old lady asked you to stay here first. The Jishan Hall in front is the old lady's residence.

"Mother Yan, Yuanyuan is here to be a servant, what should we do..." Liu Yuanyuan was even more confused.

"Just do whatever you are told to do. The meal is ready. Eat well. After the meal, Mother Yan will take you to see the old lady." Mother Yan took Liu Yuanyuan into the small dining room because the table was full of food.

"Mother Yan, I'm here to serve you dinner," the girl standing by the table put dishes on the plate in front of Liu Yuanyuan who was sitting down. Liu Yuanyuan's eyes widened. It was so embarrassing, there were so many dishes.

"Meiyu, go out and see if the girl's bedroom is ready?" Yan's mother sent Meiyu out. "Yuanyuan, don't be polite or reserved. Eat whatever you want." Yan's mother put chicken and fish into Liu Yuanyuan's bowl.

"Mom Yan, if my mother were alive, would she be as good to Yuanyuan as you are?" Liu Yuanyuan's tears kept flowing.

"Silly child, eat well, and you will have delicious food every day from now on." said Yan's mother.

Liu Yuanyuan was really not polite and ate a lot of things she had never eaten before, but she didn't eat too much, fearing that her stomach wouldn't be able to handle it. "After you finish eating, Mother Yan will take you to see the house you live in and then to see the old lady."

"Thank you, Mother Yan." The dining area was in the same courtyard as the living quarters. They ate in the side hall, then entered the main house and the inner chamber. Liu Yuanyuan couldn't take her eyes off. This was a boudoir for a young lady from a wealthy family. It was truly luxurious. The quilt on the bed was made of satin. Chi Yizhi touched it and it felt soft. "Mother Yan, is this really where Yuanyuan sleeps?"

"Yes, this is the old lady's special order."

Liu Yuanyuan smiled embarrassedly, wondering how she could be so lucky. "Please ask Madam Yan to take Yuanyuan to see the old lady. Yuanyuan wants to thank her."

After walking a few steps, they arrived at the old lady's courtyard, Jishan Hall. Looking at this courtyard, Liu Yuanyuan was hesitant to go in. "Miss Yuanyuan, can you read?" The eldest son also came over. When he saw Yuanyuan standing at the door, he went up to ask.

"I know her. Granny Jiang taught me." Liu Yuanyuan answered honestly, because there really was such a person in his memory. Oh, and there was something else that had to be done as soon as possible.

"What is this word? What does it mean?" asked the eldest son.

"A family that accumulates good will surely have good fortune, and a family that accumulates evil will surely have misfortune. A family that accumulates good will surely be rich and noble. The Cai family is really a good family." Liu Yuanyuan said sincerely.

"Miss Yuanyuan, have you ever been to school?"

"I've had very little education. Granny Jiang taught me."

"Young Master, Miss Liu, the old lady wants you to come in." Someone came and delivered the message. It turned out that Mother Yan had already entered the house.

"Young Master, please come in first." Liu Yuanyuan invited politely.

"Don't worry, grandma. My second brother has eaten some porridge and is already asleep. He seems to be fine now." The eldest son replied as he entered the room.

"Yuanyuan meets the old lady. Thank you for being so kind to Yuanyuan," Liu Yuanyuan knelt down and kowtowed.

"Hurry up, hurry up, and talk to me, an old woman. Sit down," the old lady instructed them to sit down. "Yuanyuan, after your parents passed away, did you live with your uncle and aunt?"

"To answer the old lady, yes, I heard that my uncle is my father's younger brother."

"So when will they return to the village where you live?"

"I heard that when my parents returned to the village, my mother was already pregnant with me. Less than half a month after returning to the village, she gave birth to Yuanyuan, but she died of complications during childbirth."

"Oh, this child has such a miserable life." Mother Yan repeated what Liu Yuanyuan had just said while wiping away her tears.

"Mom Yan, don't be sad, Yuanyuan is still alive." Liu Yuanyuan stood up and wiped the tears for Mom Yan.

"Yuanyuan, did your biological parents leave you anything after they passed away?" the old lady asked anxiously.
