What to do if you receive the wrong package?

"Miss, wake up, Miss, wake up." Chunxiu gently nudged the sleeping person on the bed, her heart filled with unease: The Second Miss had just woken up, and the First Madam had already sent someone to invite her over to pay her respects. What if the Second Miss was agitated again? (⊙o⊙)

Gu Yan was half asleep when she suddenly felt someone push her and call her "Miss," instantly waking her up with a start. She quickly sat up, looked at Chunxiu standing by the bed, and asked abruptly, "What are you still doing here?"

"Miss, the Madam heard that you have woken up, so she sent someone to invite you to come and pay your respects."

After calming down, Gu Yan looked around and found that he was still in the same old place.

Did she really time travel?

This is too ridiculous.

"Miss, Miss. Let's not keep the Madam waiting too long." Chunxiu looked at the person sitting on the bed in a daze and thought that her young mistress was still afraid to see the Madam.

"Alright, then... help me get dressed up a bit." Gu Yan snapped out of his daze. The matter of time travel was complicated and couldn't be explained in a short time. Since he was already here, he might as well make the best of it. Right now, he should first solve the problem of meeting the First Madam. While numbly cooperating with Chunxiu in washing and dressing up, Gu Yan recalled information about the First Madam.

It seems this guy isn't exactly a pushover either.

On my very first day after transmigrating, I encountered a power struggle within a family, which made me quite eager to try it out.

Unfortunately, Gu Yan was sent back by someone from the First Madam when she was halfway there with Chunxiu. The First Madam said that something came up and told her to rest first.

Gu Yan wanted to roll his eyes to the heavens after hearing this, but he still had to thank the First Madam for her kindness.

Ugh! This feeling is so unpleasant!

Gu Yan, who had wandered back after turning around, made an excuse to persuade Chunxiu to leave, and then sat down in front of her dressing table with a heavy sigh. Although in modern times she really wanted to be as thin as a lightning bolt and have hair that reached her waist, she now felt that neither of those things was so desirable. She tossed her hair, which reached her lower back, and couldn't help but sigh, "As expected, long hair means short-sightedness. That's why I had suicidal thoughts because of a scumbag."

But isn't it difficult to wash such long hair? Isn't it heavy to wear on your head?

The more I thought about it, the more frustrated I became. "I might as well just cut it off."

Ever since the idea popped into his head, Gu Yan had been searching everywhere for tools, rummaging through his hair until he finally found a pair of scissors. He ran his fingers through his hair to roughly estimate the length, and then, with a few snips, he made a few cuts.

Looking at the hair falling to the ground, I felt less agitated. I casually pulled out a hairband and tied the rest of my hair into a single ponytail at the back of my head.

Indeed, he truly lives up to his reputation as the genuine Tony Gu.

After cleaning up the hair on the floor, Gu Yan started wandering around the room. Now that she was "Bai Yanhuai," she definitely needed to learn more about herself. The room was decent, and there were a few clothes in the wardrobe. Although the main colors were pink, this girl had fair skin, so they shouldn't look bad on her.

There weren't many pieces of jewelry in the jewelry box, and no hidden cash was found either. What if someone had to run away? They wouldn't have any escape funds. That shouldn't be the case; even unfavored people have their own hidden "treasures." That's how it's always written in novels.

However, after searching under the mattress and bed, Gu Yan still found nothing. "My physical condition isn't good enough. I'm already getting tired after just looking for something," Gu Yan said, sitting back down at the table. He poured himself a drink of water while resting, but his gaze was drawn to the sewing basket where the scissors were kept.

"Hehe, let me see what treasure this is." Inside the sewing basket was something wrapped in a handkerchief. Gu Yan carefully unwrapped the handkerchief and frowned: "This thing looks so familiar!"

After waving the item in the handkerchief in front of his eyes, Gu Yan suddenly realized. Wasn't this one of the jade pieces from the wrongly delivered package? Gu Yan found it unbelievable; first, he inexplicably received this item, and then he miraculously transmigrated to this place. Even a fool could tell that the two must be connected.

Gu Yan leaned closer to the jade and whispered, "Hello, I don't know if this will work, but could you please take me back? Time travel is great, but I still have a whole bunch of tasks to finish, and we get penalized for taking time off!"

After talking for a long time, the "magical" jade block didn't react at all. Gu Yan sighed silently, poured himself another glass of water, and was about to continue talking when he heard a knock on the door.

"Come in, come in," Gu Yan called out.

Chunxiu, who had just entered the room carrying the herbal medicine, was shocked by her young mistress's new hairstyle. "Miss, what happened to your hair! Please don't do anything rash!"

Gu Yan quickly waved his hand, explaining, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I just wanted to change my hairstyle and change my mood." Heaven knows what's going on in Chunxiu's little head; her imagination runs wild. Gu Yan shook the jade piece in his hand, pretending to be casual as he asked, "Why is such a valuable item kept in the sewing basket? Aren't you afraid it will get lost?"

Chunxiu placed the medicine on the table and replied with some confusion, "Miss, didn't you put this here yourself? You even said that the more dangerous the place, the safer it is."

"Ah, right, right. Look at my memory. But I've changed my mind now; it's better to keep such a valuable item with me at all times." With that, Gu Yan tucked the jade pendant into his clothes.

"Yes, Miss, this jade pendant is the only keepsake Madam left you. Miss, this is today's medicine. Would you like to drink it now or later?"

Seeing the blackened medicine in Chunxiu's hand, Gu Yan shook his head and said no, "Chunxiu, look, I'm awake now. I don't need to drink this medicine anymore. Haven't you heard that every medicine has some toxicity? For my health, it's better to drink less of it."

"Okay, Miss, then I won't be decocting your medicine starting tomorrow."

"Don't wait until tomorrow. You can take it away today." Gu Yan deftly took the medicine bowl, opened the door, poured the medicine over, and it was done.

"By the way, Chunxiu, when do we start dinner?" Gu Yan looked at his thin arms and legs and was really not used to it. With such a small body, he would be blown over by a gust of wind.

“Miss, we’ll be having dinner in the flower hall with the master and his wife, so it’ll be a while. If you’re hungry, I’ll go to the small kitchen and get some snacks for you to have a little something to eat,” Chunxiu replied after thinking for a moment.

"Sure, sure. No problem!" Upon hearing about desserts, Gu Yan immediately thought of the palace pastries she had seen in dramas like "Empresses in the Palace" and "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace," and her anticipation grew instantly.

Losing weight is difficult, but gaining weight is even harder. Gu Yan stared at the jade pendant in her hand, thinking: If she transmigrated because of this thing, then Qi Qi, Mu Mu, and the other three are very likely in the same situation as her. She just wondered where they were now and how they were doing. Thinking of this, Gu Yan gripped the jade pendant tightly, secretly resolving, "No matter where you are, I will find you."

Unfortunately, it wasn't until Chunxiu brought the pastries that Gu Yan realized there was still a difference between the palace and the common people. She casually grabbed a piece of mung bean cake and, while eating, began to plan her evening family "meeting." She only had a general understanding from Chunxiu, and if she were questioned further that evening, it would be tantamount to giving herself away.

Gu Yan beckoned to Chunxiu, "Xiuer, will you have dinner with me tonight?"

Chunxiu nodded, thinking: Although Miss often asks strange questions since waking up, it's really great that Miss can now eat and chat normally.

"Xiuer, you know I was unconscious for a while. My head is a bit muddled after I woke up. If there's anything I can't remember tonight, I'll need you to remind me." With Chunxiu as a good helper, Gu Yan's troubles were reduced by more than half.

"No problem, miss."

"Great!" Gu Yan happily took a big bite of mung bean cake. "When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it. I refuse to believe that I, a 22nd-century, upright woman, can't defeat feudalistic ideas from hundreds of years ago."

Oh no, I'm choking.

"Cough cough cough cough, water." Gu Yan, who was successfully rescued by water, gave up on the mung bean cake. Alas, what a bad start.
