The Daily Life of a Concubine's Daughter After Transmigrating

"The Zuo family is the Zuo family, and the Jingguo family is the Jingguo family. Now that you've married into the Jingguo family, don't use the same attitude you had in the Zuo family!"

The old lady's lips and hands trembled with anger as she continued.

"They may be born out of wedlock, but they are still the master's own flesh and blood, Anxiu's siblings! We were a perfectly good family, and you just had to tear us apart!"

“Although Anqi is born out of wedlock, she is considerate and thoughtful in everything she does, well-educated and courteous, far surpassing many legitimate daughters! Your brother actually dared to send someone to propose marriage, wanting to take her as a concubine! Does he deserve it?!”

The old lady grew angrier and angrier, eventually becoming breathless, closing her eyes, and holding her forehead, as if she were feeling dizzy.

"Mother!" Li Miao quickly came over to help the old lady.

Madam Zhao also rushed forward, looking at the old lady with concern.

Zuo Siyun's face turned bright red from the retort, and her expression was one of unprecedented embarrassment.

"The old lady thinks the second young lady is so good, so let her take charge of the household!"

Zuo Siyun complained softly.

"It's a thankless task, and good intentions are being taken for granted."

The old lady forced her eyes open, panting heavily as she glanced sideways at Zuo Siyun.

"Then let An Qi manage it!"

Although the old lady's voice was trembling, it was full of energy and quite intimidating.

Zuo Siyun's face turned pale, and she knelt before the old lady, as if to perform a grand ceremony, "Old lady..."

"No need."

The old lady interrupted her and continued.

"Anqi and the others will be going out of the manor to participate in the ritual tomorrow. Make the arrangements. After you return to the manor, give her the household management token. Once you are familiar with the various affairs of the manor, you can ask her to return it to you."

Zuo Siyun slowly stood up, her head lowered, her expression unreadable.

"understood."

She responded in a muffled voice.

During this trip out of the mansion, Li Anqi saw many people riding bicycles in the sedan chair, which gave him a feeling of returning to modern times.

However, most of the cyclists were men; I hardly saw any women riding bicycles.

After checking into the guest room at Qingyun Temple.

Li Anqi revisited the place and came to the Camellia Garden.

The same location, but the scenery is quite different from last year.

The green leaves and flowers are still there, but the weather has warmed up in the last few days, and most of the snow has melted. Even if someone wanted to lie drunk in the snow, it would be impossible.

Li Anqi took out a red silk ribbon embroidered with the words "Peace" from his sleeve and tied it to the camellia branch.

"Miss, who are you praying for?" Zhilan asked gently with a smile.

"a friend."

Zhilan pondered for a moment and said, "...The old lady said that Miss should also go and watch this year's horse race."

Li Anqi originally didn't plan to go this year, but since the old lady had already made the decision, she couldn't refuse.

"Ah."

"There is one more important thing."

Zhilan continued, "Originally, the young mistress did not arrange for the second young lady to come out of the mansion to participate in the wedding ceremony. However, after the old lady found out yesterday, she lost her temper again and told the young mistress to return the household management token to the young lady after returning to the mansion. The young mistress can return it after she is familiar with the affairs of the mansion."

Li Anqi paused for a moment.

"……understood."

Although he knew there was a reason for it, Li Anqi still felt uneasy, as if something was not right.

After the sacrificial ceremony at Qingyun Temple concluded.

Li Baoqin took the initiative to invite Li Anqi to go to the racetrack together.

The racecourse's outer field remains a track where horses' hooves fly and the grandstands on both sides are bustling and lively.

Li Baoqin sent Cuihong and Liuyun to find good seats in the stands first, while she took Li Anqi for a walk around the racecourse.

Li Baoqin searched the outer area but couldn't find Xiao Wang, so she smiled and patted Li Anqi on the shoulder.

"I'm going to visit the stables. You go ahead and look at the platform. I'll be there shortly."

After parting ways with Li Baoqin, Li Anqi walked alone along a dirt path lined with bushes on both sides towards the stands.

Suddenly, a figure appeared out of nowhere, darting out from behind and grabbing Li Anqi in a hug.

The man wrapped one arm around her slender waist and arms, covered her mouth with the other hand, buried his head in the crook of her neck, and sniffed desperately.

Li Anqi wanted to shout, but no sound came out.

She struggled with all her might, even stomping on the man's feet, but to no avail.

She was too thin and weak to put up any resistance against the other man's robust physique.

Li Anqi's feelings went from surprise, tension, panic, fear to despair.

Until she saw Prince Xiao and several unfamiliar young men passing by at the intersection at the end of the path.

"Well!"

Li Anqi seemed to have found a lifeline and wanted to call out for help.

But she was still far from the intersection, and Xiao Wang and his group couldn't hear her at all.

In just a moment, Li Anqi saw Xiao Wang's cold gaze sweep over him.

Saved!

However, the next second, Prince Xiao and his companions, chatting and laughing, disappeared at the end of the road.

Li Anqi couldn't quite describe the feeling in his heart, only that the gaze was chillingly cold.

He clearly saw it.

Why……

"Anqi, why are you refusing me? Wouldn't it be better to be my concubine?" the person behind him said.

It was Zuo Sinian.

Li Anqi's body stiffened, seemingly giving up the fight.

Seeing that the beautiful woman in his arms had stopped struggling, Zuo Sinian was stunned for a second.

Taking advantage of his momentary lapse in concentration, Li Anqi suddenly turned around and delivered a knee strike to his groin, followed by a slap.

"Hey!"

Zuo Sinian had a red mark on half of his face from being slapped. He looked pained, bent over, and clutched his lower abdomen.

"Anqi!" He reached out to grab Li Anqi.

Li Anqi took a few steps back.

Her almond-shaped eyes sparkled as she glared at Zuo Sinian with intense anger.

When Zuo Sinian saw her expression, he froze for a second, as if a soft spot in his heart had been touched.

Li Anqi fought back tears and angrily rebuked him, "With your status, which young lady in the entire capital wouldn't you be able to find? Why did you have to pick on me and harass me? Do you think I'm that easy to bully?!"

"Don't cry, please don't cry!"

Zuo Sinian waited for the pain to subside, then slowly straightened up, his face contorted in pain.

I really like you!

"Ahem, in broad daylight, under the clear sky, even if you two are deeply in love, you should go somewhere secluded." A strange voice rang out.

Li Anqi looked behind Zuo Sinian.

The newcomer was a man in his early twenties, dressed simply, carrying a medical kit, and with delicate features.

Li Anqi suddenly felt that the face looked somewhat familiar.

After thinking about it carefully, she remembered that in the original owner's memory, Physician Guo had brought his son Guo Yuandi to the Jingguo Mansion and had met the original owner once.

Guo Yuandi recognized the two and quickly bowed to them, saying, "Guo Yuandi, Imperial Physician of the Imperial Medical Academy, greets Second Young Master Zuo and Miss Qi."

"You two..." Guo Yuandi's gaze shifted between the two men.

"Imperial Physician Guo has misunderstood. There is nothing between me and Young Master Zuo," Li Anqi explained.

Seeing that someone had arrived, Zuo Sinian dared not make any further rash moves.

He chuckled and continued, "Yes, we have nothing now, but we'll have everything in the future!"
