The Ordinary Man's Guide to Fast Travel

The original body was gentle in nature, and because he was spoiled by his brothers and sisters, he was still a little naive.

Chao Mumu would come to her from time to time to take some things away. Whenever someone asked her about it, she would say that these were given to her by her original body.

Most people would not really come to ask the original body, so such things have never been discovered by my mother.

Probably after the beginning of autumn, Chao Mumu would always wear a wooden hairpin on her head.

The wooden hairpin was bought by the original owner from a street stall while shopping.

It wasn't a very good item, but she bought it because of its unique shape.

The original body couldn't remember when Chao Mumu took it away from her. Anyway, it was just a hairpin, so she didn't care.

I'm just curious, why would Chao Mumu, who always wears gold and silver, love this wooden hairpin so much?

Chao Yao felt that the space might be the medium of this wooden hairpin, so she thought of a perfect idea.

But no matter what, you should go to bed now.

As for sneaking into Chao Mumu's yard to take the hairpin, after thinking it over again and again, she felt that she couldn't do it tonight.

If she was caught by the guards in the mansion, she wouldn't be able to explain herself.

The next morning, after washing up, Chao Yao went to his mother's yard to have breakfast.

"You clever little boy, why are you here to have breakfast with your mother today?"

Chaoyao imitated her original self, gently grasped her mother's arm and shook it, then acted coquettishly to Fang:

"It's because Yaoyao's makeup box is almost empty, so I came to find mother to go shopping together later."

Fang was stunned and gently tapped Chao Yao's forehead with her finger.

"Luckily, I knew that you greedy people always like to come to my place, so the small kitchen is always prepared. Xia Chan, go and ask them to serve the dishes. Aunt Liu, go to the young lady's yard and see if she has lost anything again. The maids in the yard don't seem to be very careful in their work recently. Go and teach them a lesson."

Chao Yao couldn't help but admire the wives of this kind of family; they were observant and attentive.

Just a casual action or a casual word can make them think of something deeper.

The two sat down at the table, and Chao Yao took a piece of each dish.

It’s really delicious!

The dishes are exquisite and taste great.

She had never eaten such delicious food in her previous life.

"Eat slowly, don't choke."

Fang would stroke her back from time to time, and this action made her eat faster.

She was afraid of crying. How many years had it been since she felt her mother's love?

My mother’s gentle voice and caring actions seem like distant memories.

Although this mother was not her biological mother, from that moment on, she had regarded Fang as her biological mother in this life.

She swallowed her tears and looked at Fang with a smile.

"The food here is really delicious, but it's not the same for me. Every time I have something good, Chaomumu will come to ask me for it. If I don't give it to her, she will just take it away. It's so annoying!"

Fang gently touched her head, "You are too soft-hearted. A concubine's daughter can bully you. Have you ever thought about what you will do when you get married if you can be bullied like this at home? In a few days, your mother will help you choose a good man, and you will get married when you are seventeen. You will have to learn a lot of rules in the future, so you must think carefully."

"Didn't Dad say that brothers and sisters should live in harmony?"

"How can you trust everything a man says? Moreover, from your father's point of view, it is best for brothers and sisters to live in harmony. The most perfect way is for wives and concubines to live in harmony. But how is that possible? These concubines came into our family to divide up the family property. We are born enemies. If it weren't for the compensation provided by the law, it wouldn't be surprising for those men to do anything."

Chao Yao felt a headache when she thought about the marriage system in this world.

She lived in an era of monogamy and had never had a boyfriend until she was 24 years old.

The main reason is that she has been struggling for survival all her life, and love is too much of a luxury for her.

In this life, she must get married. The law stipulates that if a woman does not marry before the age of 18, the state will arrange a marriage for her.

But I just can't agree to let her accept such a marriage system.

"Mom, can't I find a husband who is devoted to me?"

Fang burst out laughing.

"My daughter is still a little kid. Regardless of the dynasty, marital fidelity has a price tag. The greater your value, the higher his loyalty; the less valuable you are, the lower the cost of his betrayal. Only strength can protect yourself."

"So how can I improve my strength?"

"Silly child, your natal family and your dowry are your greatest strengths!"

But isn’t that also relying on others?

Can your mother’s family be relied upon?

Chao Yao didn't dare to ask such a question. Perhaps she knew she wouldn't get the answer she wanted.

After the two of them finished their breakfast, Fang's maids and servants went to Chao Mumu's courtyard.

On the way to her courtyard, Madam Liu was sent to call Aunt Huang to come along.

Since her daughter is disobedient, her aunt should be punished on her behalf.

The group arrived at the courtyard where Chao Mumu and Aunt Huang were. At this time, Chao Mumu was playing with some of Chao Yao's newly bought jewelry.

"Someone, search for me! I want to see today whether the family rules of our Chao family are still valid when a concubine's daughter dares to steal things in the yard of the legitimate daughter!"

Before Chao Mumu could come to her senses, she suddenly heard Fang's voice.

She was so scared that she put the jewelry in the box, covered it, and immediately knelt down.

The maids and servants brought by Fang quickly searched Chao Mumu's yard and found a lot of things.

Not to mention the various love notebooks, the jewelry alone filled five large boxes.

Chao Yao watched in amazement, how soft must the original person's personality be to be bullied like this?

When Fang looked at the things they had found, she was so angry that she almost exploded.

Aunt Huang was also kneeling in the yard. She said nothing and didn't even dare to raise her voice to cry.

"Mother, these things were given to me by my third sister. I really didn't steal them!"

Chao Yao said innocently, "When did I give you these things? How come I didn't know? You have more jewelry here than in my yard. I have to ask Dad why you, a concubine's daughter, eat and wear better than me."

Aunt Huang was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. She knelt down and ran to Chao Yao.

"Miss Third, Miss Second was wrong about this matter. I will ask her to pay it back right now. I will also ask her to pay you back the monthly salary for next year."

"Aunt, what nonsense are you talking about! How am I going to survive without my monthly allowance next year?"

Chao Yao said with a look of disdain: "I don't want things that have been used by others. What's more, it was used by a thief, who knows if it has any bad luck. But even if I don't want it, I don't want to let her get it for free. Take them all back to me, I want to destroy them one by one!"
