I travel back and forth between ancient and modern times, hoarding goods to raise my grandchildren a

Her nose twitched as she spoke.

I was a little confused. It was strange that it smelled like rice.

Moreover, the rice smells delicious.

She had never eaten such fragrant rice before, not even at palace banquets.

She thought she must have been hallucinating because she hadn't eaten rice in so long.

Hearing what Madam Yu said, Madam Tao smiled and said, "Then it seems that I have come at the right time. You have been without food since the day before yesterday. That's perfect. Chengcheng must still be hungry, right?"

I brought rice and water. Could you please find someone to show me the way, Madam Yu? I'll take it to Chengcheng right away.

As if afraid that Madam Yu would not believe her, she opened the food box in her hand after she finished speaking.

A bowl of glistening, fragrant white rice appeared before Madam Yu.

The aroma became even stronger the moment the lid was lifted.

Mrs. Yu stared incredulously at the white rice in front of her.

He subconsciously licked his lips.

how come?

How could the Tao family possibly have rice, and even be able to cook such fine white rice?

Madam Tao only wanted her to see it once, and once she achieved her goal, she immediately closed the box.

"Madam Yu, as you know, in this world, everyone is starving. Let alone the servants in the mansion, even I in the past, if I had a bowl of white rice like this, I definitely wouldn't be able to resist stealing some."

Therefore, I must personally deliver this white rice to Chengcheng and watch him finish it before I can feel at ease.

Madam Yu is Chengcheng's mother; she must also be hoping he can eat rice and fill his stomach soon, right?

Madam Tao's words made Madam Yu swallow back what she wanted to say.

The first thing she wanted when she saw the bowl of white rice was for Madam Tao to leave it so she could share it with Yu Qingqing as soon as she left.

However, Madam Tao made it so clear.

She was someone who always cared about saving face in front of Madam Tao, so she could only grit her teeth and order her servants to lead the way for Madam Tao.

As soon as Madam Tao left, she immediately smashed the tea set on the table in a fit of anger.

"Damn Zhen, she must have done it on purpose."

"Ah ah ah..."

She was so angry.

She suddenly looked at her head maid.

"You said before that the people in the Ministry of Revenue's office could eat white rice. Is that true?"

The Zhen family generously filled a bowl with rice for Yu Chengcheng to eat.

This made her wonder if what the head maid had just said was true.

"But at this point, where did they get the rice? If they had always had rice in their household, why would they have gone hungry for so long and only now bring it out?"

Mrs. Yu couldn't understand it.

As for Madam Tao, she had already met Yu Chengcheng.

She came here today partly to spite Madam Yu, but more importantly, she was genuinely worried about Yu Chengcheng.

She grew up with Madam Yu and knew that she was very concerned about her reputation.

Since giving birth to Yu Wanwan, she has been ridiculed by others, both openly and secretly, to the point that even though she is Yu Wanwan's mother, she hates Yu Wanwan to death.

She hated him so much that she didn't even like her youngest son, who was closer to Yu Wanwan.

She only showed favoritism towards her eldest niece, who was not related to her by blood.

Yu Wanwan is now blessed with divine help, so she's no longer worried, but Yu Chengcheng is still staying in the Yu family.

As soon as she received the food, she couldn't wait to come and see him.

Yu Chengcheng is still locked in the room.

When Madam Tao saw him, he was already lying on the ground, barely alive from hunger.

"Chengcheng, what's wrong?"

"Open your eyes quickly, your aunt has brought you rice and water."

After venting her anger, Mrs. Yu suddenly scratched her head in frustration.

How could she forget that Yu Chengcheng had been locked up and fasted for several days?

If he had already fainted from hunger, that vile woman Zhen would surely go out and spread nonsense to others again.

But it was too late to send someone to stop Zhen.

***

Yu Wanwan's hopes of taking advantage of her dowry were dashed.

Finally, they set their sights on the betrothal gifts, the existence of which she didn't even know.

After asking the housekeeper, she laughed.

Her nominal husband, whom she had never met, was truly generous.

He actually gave her all his property as a betrothal gift.

In other words, everything in the General's Mansion now belongs to her.

No wonder the original owner was so domineering before, wanting to take all the food in the general's mansion for himself, while the other people in the general's mansion didn't even utter a sound.

Because those things belonged to the original owner, she could do whatever she wanted with them.

Yu Wanwan stood in the warehouse, planning to pick out a few items to take to the modern world to sell.

Suddenly, my mind went blank again.

[Ding dong, Yu Chengcheng's health has increased, rewarding 5 points.]

Yu Chengcheng?

Why not just go with Fan Chengcheng directly?

Wait, why does this name sound so familiar?

Yu Wanwan was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses.

Isn't Yu Chengcheng the original owner's kind and adorable younger brother?

In the original owner's memory, everyone in the Ministry of Rites' mansion hated her because of her madness, and even the servants would always bully her behind her back.

Only Yu Chengcheng, this little cutie, always liked to follow the original owner, even though the original owner would attack indiscriminately every time she went crazy.

He even foolishly told the original owner that he wanted to protect her.

Whenever he gets something good, he can't wait to share it with the original owner.

If you love someone because of them, you will naturally hate them too.

If he gets close to the original owner, then those who dislike the original owner will also come to dislike Yu Chengcheng.

Even their own parents are no exception.

The original owner, relying on her madness, was fearless at home. Even if someone bullied her, she would indiscriminately kill everyone.

It can be said that the original owner did not suffer much hardship at home.

Just like in the General's Mansion, even during the famine, she was still the one who lived the best life in the General's Mansion.

But Yu Chengcheng is different. This fool, Yu Chengcheng, lives worse than a servant in the Ministry of Rites' mansion.

Thinking of this, Yu Wanwan's first reaction was to exclaim, "So Yu Chengcheng is still alive?"

The second reaction was confusion as to why Yu Chengcheng would contribute points to him.

When she had Zhou Nan and the others deliver the grain, she had clearly avoided the residence of the Minister of Rites.

She glanced at the warehouse full of treasures and decided to ask Yu Chengcheng about it later.

She hadn't thought of it before, but now that she had, she was determined to have someone bring Yu Chengcheng back.

Let him enjoy a life of luxury with me.

Her most important task right now is to pick out things.

Her nominal husband was a war god general who, at a young age, had already led a large army to victory in more than a dozen battles and received countless rewards from the emperor.

He used the gold and silver to exchange for food to support his soldiers.

The rest of the jewelry, calligraphy, paintings, and antiques are all stored in the warehouse.

Yu Wanwan casually picked up an exquisite box.
