After traveling through time, I was raised by a little brat

After everyone had left the room, Tang Wenshu suddenly sat up and shouted excitedly, "Yeah, I actually traveled through time! God has been so kind to me!" Then, she knelt on the bed and kowtowed devoutly. Three kowtows and nine bows are the highest etiquette, and she chanted, "Thank you, God of Wealth! Thank you, Guanyin! Thank you, Jade Emperor!"

But she soon realized she was in another world and had to be careful. She thought: This time-traveling woman is either the Destiny Girl or a villain. In either case, she's bound to have a cheat code. So, what would my cheat code be? I wish I had a portable space.

Suddenly, she thought of something and said to herself, "Oh, the jade pendant! Generally speaking, space is often hidden in the heirloom jade pendant." So, Tang Wenshu fumbled around her body like a monkey, looking for the jade pendant.

She first felt a small red triangular bag in her arms, squeezed it, and felt like there was something like paper inside, but she didn't open it to look, but put it back in her arms.

Finally, she found a jade pendant around her waist. On one side was the word "wen" (literary), and on the other was the word "shu" (literary). "Looks like this is it!" she exclaimed excitedly. Then, she put her left ring finger in her mouth and bit it hard. "Ah! That hurts!"

Tang Wenshu's tears flowed uncontrollably, and the scream attracted the little maid guarding the door. She suddenly opened the door and rushed in. "What's wrong, Miss?"

The maids Mei Shuang and Mei Xiang had been guarding outside the door. They had already heard the strange noise coming from the room by sticking to the wall, but the scream still scared them. As Mei Shuang rushed into the room, Mei Xiang ran all the way to ask Madam Zeng Yuan.

Because Tang Wenshu's wet nurse had gone home to visit relatives, this time only a few maids in charge of cleaning and these two little servants were left in her courtyard.

Mei Shuang mustered up the courage to approach the bedside. Seeing Tang Wenshu kneeling there blankly, she breathed a sigh of relief. But Tang Wenshu was stunned. All the novels she had read before were lies! It was impossible to bite a finger. Apart from the pain and the white marks left by the teeth, there was not even a trace of blood.

So she shouted to Mei Shuang anxiously: "Do you have a knife? Bring me a knife quickly!" However, Mei Shuang pursed her lips tightly, said nothing, and just lowered her head to stare at the ground under her feet, as if a beautiful flower had bloomed there.

"What are you looking at? Look at me! Get me a pair of scissors!" Tang Wenshu paused, as if thinking of something. "Those scissors you usually use to cut clothes and handkerchiefs." Mei Shuang still pursed her lips tightly, and she kept looking out the door. Tang Wenshu remembered that she had two little maids, and only one was here, so the other must have gone to find her mother (to get help).

Thinking of this, Tang Wenshu knew that opportunity was fleeting. She strode off the bed, shoes off, and ran to the table. She picked up the tea bowls and threw them on the floor. She picked up the largest one and slashed her finger with it, drawing blood. With a satisfied look on her face, she pulled out a jade pendant and let the blood drip onto it.

Mei Shuang was frightened by the scene before her. She stared at Tang Wenshu with wide eyes and horror, and her body involuntarily took a few steps back. She had never seen such a crazy lady before, and her heart was filled with fear and anxiety.

Tang Wenshu turned around and glared at Mei Shuang fiercely, as if he wanted to devour her alive. "Stop! Don't come over here!" Mei Shuang was so frightened that she trembled all over, her legs weak and she could barely stand. But she didn't dare disobey Tang Wenshu's command and could only say in a trembling voice, "Miss... please... please don't hurt yourself... please..."

Tang Wenshu ignored her and continued with her own business. She carefully placed the blood-stained jade pendant on the table, then stared at it without blinking, a sharpness in her eyes that didn't belong to her age.

Mei Shuang was terrified by Tang Wenshu's actions. She felt like a man-eating demon, yet she felt compelled to approach her because of her status. She took a deep breath, mustered her courage, and walked over to Tang Wenshu, carefully removing the broken porcelain from her hand. Tang Wenshu didn't resist, but simply stared at her quietly, a cold expression in his eyes.

Mei Shuang felt a little relieved when she saw that Tang Wenshu didn't object, but she still didn't dare to let her guard down. She quickly picked up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, then timidly returned to Tang Wenshu's side, awaiting her next instructions.

Tang Wenshu was lost in her own world. She clutched the jade pendant tightly, silently chanting, "Space, space..." However, the pendant showed no sign of reaction. Frustrated, she squeezed the nearly closed wound, trying to soak the pendant with more blood. But no matter how hard she tried, the pendant remained motionless, as if it wasn't accepting her blood at all.

Just then, hurried footsteps were heard, and Aunt Rong arrived first. Seeing Tang Wenshu standing there blankly, her hands covered in blood, she couldn't help but cry out in grief, "Young Miss, what's going on? What happened?"

Nanny Rong looked at Tang Wenshu's hand with heartache, carefully picked it up, blew on it gently, and said softly, "Hoohoo, it won't hurt now. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have left the young lady's side."

When Rong Mama was young, her life was relatively easy. While her family wasn't particularly wealthy, they did have some modest assets. After marrying into her husband's family, she enjoyed a harmonious relationship with her mother-in-law. Her husband was also studious and ambitious, having already passed the examinations for the title of "Xucai" (School of Scholars) and was actively preparing for them, aiming for the title of "Junren" (Juren). In this family environment, Rong Mama also wanted to contribute to the family to the best of her ability.

Because she was already skilled in embroidery before her marriage, she received her husband's encouragement and support and began to earn money from embroidery. Her exquisite handkerchiefs, screens, round fans, and other items were highly sought after by the ladies of the imperial court, and her business flourished. However, fate was unpredictable, and a chance encounter plunged her into endless suffering.

One day, while making her usual trip to the embroidery shop, Rong was spotted by the owner of the neighboring restaurant. Enchanted by Rong's beauty, he harbored an evil ambition: to marry her. Rong firmly refused, stating she was married and even styled her hair in a bun. Undeterred, the restaurant owner not only secretly followed Rong but also led a group into her home, dragging her husband from the house and brutally beating him to death. Her mother-in-law, who tried to intervene, was also severely beaten, leaving her critically ill.

Nanny Rong, distraught, desperately rushed to protect her husband, but was restrained by the thugs, leaving her helpless to watch as he was beaten to death. This horrific scene attracted many onlookers, but fear kept them from stepping forward to help, and no one was willing to report them to the authorities. After all, despite the saying "scholars, farmers, merchants, and artisans," ordinary people were ultimately no match for the merchants, fearing retaliation and potential retaliation.

At this time, Zeng Yuan had not yet married and was still waiting to be married. It was because she had just made an engagement with the third son of the Duke of Tang's Mansion that this trip was to Lingyun Temple to burn incense and fulfill a vow, so she would pass through Liangmin Street in the north of the imperial city, which was the only way to Lingyun Temple.

Matron Rong was knocked to the ground, and her mother-in-law was also seriously injured. Zeng Yuan, upon seeing this, quickly ordered the guards to rescue Matron Rong and take her mother-in-law to a nearby clinic for treatment. Meanwhile, Zeng Yuan questioned the onlookers about the incident. Upon learning that the restaurant owner had attempted to seize Matron Rong's granddaughter, she immediately ordered the guards to hand the owner over to the authorities, who imprisoned him. However, despite timely assistance, Matron Rong's mother-in-law tragically passed away from her injuries.

After handling the funerals of her husband and mother-in-law, Nanny Rong decided to sell her family property and resolutely came to the Zeng family to become a nanny beside Zeng Yuan. Later, when Zeng Yuan married into the Duke of Tang's mansion, Nanny Rong also accompanied her and became a member of the Duke of Tang's mansion.

Nanny Rong had taken care of Tang Qi, Tang Zhengrong, and Tang Wenshu since they were born. It could be said that she had watched them grow up little by little, and she had even served as Tang Wenshu's wet nurse! Her feelings for Tang Wenshu were truly deeper than those of a biological mother! Even Nanny Huang, who was later hired as a wet nurse, could never compare to the deep affection between Nanny Rong and Tang Wenshu.

However, ever since Tang Wenshu fell into the water, Tang Qi, the eldest son of the third wife, had been suspicious, thinking that Nanny Huang's departure was too coincidental. So, he ordered an investigation into Nanny Huang's whereabouts, and the investigation is still ongoing, but she has yet to return home.

The final investigation revealed that it was all coincidence, but Tang Qi still felt uneasy. After all, Nanny Huang had been gone for so long. Who knew what she had been through? Why had she left so early? Did she create an opportunity for Tang Wenshu to get into trouble? Or was she in cahoots with the person who pushed Shu'er into the water? If there really was something wrong, wouldn't it bring disaster to the Tang family?

Therefore, after Nanny Huang returns home, Tang Qi plans to arrange someone to keep an eye on her. Only by keeping the bad guys under his nose can people feel at ease!
