A peasant girl travels through time with a hospital, rising to become an empress.

When Jiang Muxin entered the mansion, she wore a veil, so Zhao Jiaojiao had never seen her face.

Looking at Jiang Muxin's appearance and attire from afar, bathed in moonlight, she resembled a fairy. Standing with Chu Shaoyang, their words were intimate, like a perfect couple. A pang of sadness welled up in my heart.

Her proud family background, the huge mansion she lived in, and the delicious food she ate every day were all beneath Jiang Muxin's notice. Zhao Jiaojiao felt a sense of inferiority she had never experienced before.

Zhao Jiaojiao couldn't bear to watch any longer and turned to leave dejectedly.

Chu Shaoyang: "It's late, let's go back and get some rest."

Jiang Muxin responded and returned to her room with the help of her maid.

Back in the room, Pei'er helped Jiang Muxin change her clothes.

Pei'er massaged Jiang Muxin's shoulders, and Jiang Muxin said calmly with her eyes closed, "You talked too much just now."

Pei'er stopped what she was doing and quickly knelt down. "Pei'er wanted to explain to Miss that Miss grew up in luxury and it's only natural that she's not used to the food."

Jiang Muxin opened her eyes, her face expressionless. "This must have been told to Brother Chu by that girl from the Zhao family. A merchant's daughter dares to covet Brother Chu? She's dreaming. Never mind, go and investigate what happened at the Zhao family tomorrow. Find out who Brother Chu fought with. Be careful not to be too ostentatious and don't let Brother Chu know."

Pei'er accepted the order and continued to massage Jiang Muxin's shoulders, saying cautiously, "Young Master Chu went to great lengths to accompany Miss to this remote and impoverished place, which shows how much he values ​​her. Pei'er noticed that Young Master Chu spoke to Miss very gently just now."

Jiang Muxin's lips curved into a slight smile. If she hadn't happened to meet him in the provincial capital, why would she have thought of coming here?

"Although the journey was bumpy and arduous, the opportunity to spend several days alone with him made the trip worthwhile."

Among the prominent families in the capital, the Chu family and the Jiang family are equally powerful. Chu Shaoyang, at a young age, already holds a position in the palace, making him a suitable match.

Pei'er smiled ingratiatingly, "Now that my relationship with Young Master Chu has progressed further, I'm sure I'll get what I want in the future."

"There is nothing I, Jiang Muxin, cannot get if I want it."

Pei'er: "Miss is of noble birth and is the apple of the eye of the master and madam. Her beauty and talent are famous throughout the capital, so naturally everything goes smoothly for her."

Jiang Muxin paused slightly, her hand holding the sandalwood comb in her hair, and murmured, "Of noble birth..."

Jiang Muxin chuckled, "My older sister also comes from a noble family... and she's still..."

Pei'er immediately knelt on the ground, panicking, "How can Miss compare to her? She... she doesn't have that kind of fate..."

"Watch your words," Jiang Muxin interrupted her.

Jiang Muxin smiled and reached out to pull Pei'er up. "Get up. Kneeling all the time will make Brother Chu think I mistreat my servants."

Inside the Zhao residence, the lights in each room gradually went out, and the mansion fell into silence.

Just as everyone closed their eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep, Nie Qianqian opened her eyes.

She took out a set of night clothes from her spatial storage, changed into them, and silently headed towards Hu Wanwan's room.

Hu Wanwan gave birth in the room, which was filthy. After giving birth, she naturally wouldn't stay there anymore, but was instead placed in the South Garden. Most of the guards that Zhao Xuanmu had set up in the mansion were transferred to the South Garden to protect Hu Wanwan and the baby, which saved Nie Qianqian a lot of trouble.

Under the clear moonlight, Nie Qianqian secretly entered Hu Wanwan's room.

The room had been cleaned, but there was still a faint smell of blood. Nie Qianqian reached for the bed and searched it thoroughly, but she couldn't find the jade pendant.

She searched all the chests and boxes in the house carefully, but could not find the jade pendant.

"Damn it, where did Zhao Xuanmu and Hu Wanwan put the jade pendant?!"

Since the clandestine approach doesn't work, then let's ask for it openly. Now that Hu Wanwan has given birth successfully, the jade pendant is no longer of much use, so Nie Qianqian can come up with a reason to ask for it.

Nie Qianqian made up her mind, put the things she had found back in their original state, and then slipped out of the house.

As Nie Qianqian was about to leave the courtyard, she heard a very faint gurgling sound, like someone was drinking something.

She looked up alertly toward the source of the sound and saw Chu Shaoyang sitting on the roof, holding a wine jug and looking down at her.

Chu Shaoyang's voice was low and deep, "I didn't expect Doctor Qian to have a habit of stealing things in the middle of the night."

Nie Qianqian stared at him. "You were following me?"

Chu Shaoyang: "You've misunderstood. I just couldn't sleep, so I came out to look at the moon."

Nie Qianqian cupped her hands in greeting, "Then you can take your leave. I won't bother you any longer. Farewell."

Chu Shaoyang called out to her, "Admiring the moon alone can be lonely, why don't you join me, Miss Qian?"

Nie Qianqian raised an eyebrow and glared at him.

Miss Qian...

This is a threat to her.

Nie Qianqian: "What do you want to do?"

Chu Shaoyang tilted his head, "Why don't you come up and talk, Doctor Qian?"

Looking at the distance from the roof to the ground, Nie Qianqian said bluntly, "I can't get up there."

Chu Shaoyang was taken aback. "Your martial arts are so good, yet you don't know any lightness skills?"

Nie Qianqian really wanted to pull him down and explain Newton's laws to him. Is it strange that he doesn't know light-body skills?

Nie Qianqian said irritably, "No."

Chu Shaoyang smiled, leaped down from the rooftop, his clothes fluttering, and arrived beside Nie Qianqian.

He reached out and gently put his arm around Nie Qianqian's waist, leading her straight to the rooftop.

Before Nie Qianqian could react, she felt a gust of wind, and the scene before her eyes changed; she was now on the roof.

Once on the roof, Chu Shaoyang gently removed his hand and resumed drinking.

Nie Qianqian plopped down on the roof and realized that the moon looked different from the roof. The moon was big and round. No wonder the ancients loved to look at the moon and recite poems about it. When night falls and the lights are turned off, there is really nothing to see except the moon.

Nie Qianqian removed the black veil covering her face, stood on tiptoe, took out a bottle of wine, and started drinking.

Chu Shaoyang turned his head to look at Nie Qianqian. The moonlight was as clear as if it had been washed, and under the soft moonlight, Nie Qianqian's face was fair and translucent, with a faint glow, so beautiful that she seemed to belong to another world.

Nie Qianqian drank her wine, a small trickle of wine running down her lips. She wiped it away with the back of her hand, seemingly unconcerned. Her demeanor was quite different from the stern and indifferent one she had shown behind her veil when she was seen that afternoon. At this moment, Nie Qianqian appeared relaxed and carefree.

Chu Shaoyang, regaining his composure, clicked his tongue in amazement, "You drink too?"

Nie Qianqian: "What's so strange about that? My wine tastes better than yours."

Chu Shaoyang smelled the wine; it was indeed very fragrant, even more intense and intoxicating than his own.

Chu Shaoyang: "Do you have any more of this wine?"

Nie Qianqian glanced at him. "If I gave you the wine, would you not tell others that I am a woman and what happened tonight?"

Chu Shaoyang did not answer, and Nie Qianqian continued, "You must be the distinguished guest from the capital that Master Zhao mentioned. You have a noble status and do not seem like a gossip. I guess you will stay in this remote place for a few days and then leave. I am just a passerby, and Young Master Chu does not need to expose me."

"How about this, I'll give you ten bottles of this wine, and you can just pretend you've never met me, okay?"

Nie Qianqian patiently guided him, and as she spoke, she gradually closed the distance between herself and Chu Shaoyang, gazing at him intently.

As Chu Shaoyang got closer, he noticed that Doctor Qian had thick, long eyelashes that fluttered like butterfly wings, and his breath carried a hint of wine.

This wine smells so good.

Chu Shaoyang's eyes remained fixed on Nie Qianqian, but suddenly his right hand flicked, snatching the wine bottle from Nie Qianqian's hand and taking it for himself.

He gulped down the wine from the bottle.

Nie Qianqian was taken aback, her cheeks flushing slightly.

Damn, she drank from that bottle.

Chu Shaoyang finished the wine in one gulp, toying with the bottle in his hand. "It is indeed good wine, I have never tasted it before."

He stopped looking at Nie Qianqian, turned around and leaped down from the roof with the wine bottle in his hand. He left with his back to Nie Qianqian, shaking the bottle as he walked away, saying, "Just as Doctor Qian said, I will keep quiet after ten bottles of wine."

Nie Qianqian watched his retreating figure and said, "Okay, deal!"

Chu Shaoyang quickly disappeared into a corner. Nie Qianqian felt relieved after receiving the promise, and only then did she realize her predicament.

"Wait a minute, how am I supposed to get down?"

Chu Shaoyang hadn't gone far. Hearing Nie Qianqian's helpless voice, he smiled and looked at the wine bottle, muttering, "I really drank too much tonight."
