The Ordinary Man's Guide to Fast Travel

Fang asked someone to open the gate of the courtyard, and after a while, Chao Yuanwai walked in.

The court official, who was over 40 years old, was a tall and thin man with an upright figure and a small moustache. He looked extremely elegant and his every move was graceful.

The guard closed the door again outside the yard. The "bang" sound seemed to knock on Chao Mumu and Aunt Huang's hearts.

"What exactly happened? Tell me."

Fang pointed to the boxes in front of her and recounted what had just happened.

"She is just a young girl who has just come of age, but she has already learned these skills. It was you who said that since the child was born by you, then you should raise her yourself. Now that she has been raised like this by Aunt Huang, she must not be allowed to stay!"

Chao Mumu suddenly raised his head and looked at Fang with fear.

"Stepmother, I was wrong, I was really wrong! You can send me far away, I will never tarnish the reputation of the Chao family!"

"My son is going to take the imperial examination. Xu'er is now a scholar, and Hui'er is also a student. As long as you are here, they will be stigmatized! Not to mention my soon-to-be-married Yaoyao and my already-engaged Ajin. Which one of them can be defiled by a lowly concubine like you?"

Mr. Chao looked at Chao Mumu coldly and asked Fang: "Have you examined her?"

"Nothing."

"Call Madam Liu to come and examine her!"

The maid came to Chaoyao's yard and took Madam Liu away for Chaomumu to examine her.

After finishing, Nanny Liu arranged the utensils, knelt down and replied: "Master and Madam, the second young lady is still a virgin."

He patted the folds of his clothes and said to Fang, "Since it is still useful, give it away. Minister Qin likes beauty and he loves unopened flowers the most. Doing so will also give Xu'er more options."

After that, he looked at Chao Mumu again and said sternly: "I'll spare your life, but don't forget who sent you to Qingyun Road! After all, you are a member of the Chao family. If my eldest brother can make a name for himself, he can also make your life easier in the backyard."

Chao Mumu broke down and cried, "Dad! Minister Qin is the same age as you! He is already this old, and it is time for him to get promoted!"

"Madame Liu, slap my face!"

Fang scolded sternly, "How can you say such a thing? Our family can send you to Qin Shilang's house, which is already considered climbing a high branch. You should be grateful, serve him well, and speak well of your brother in front of him!"

Chao Mumu looked around and saw Aunt Huang with her head lowered, wishing that everyone would forget her existence.

At this time, Chao Mumu was isolated and helpless.

Nanny Liu stepped forward and slapped her several times, causing the corner of her mouth to bleed.

After a while, the maid let go, and Chao Mumu lay on the ground like a dead dog, with red and swollen cheeks and dull eyes.

"Okay, I'll go!"

He stood up and looked down at her.

"You are already of age, so just be sensible. The Chao family will give you a sum of money to take care of the maids and servants in the Qin Mansion after you get married. This will not be a loss for you."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Chao Yao saw this scene through his wisdom eyes and was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

A girl, simply by playing with some adult products, had her future path determined. This was the first time she intuitively felt the harshness of this era towards women and the assessment of their value.

If this happened in modern times, parents would at most give their children a good education, but would not make such arrangements for their children's second half of life.

Of course, modern parents do not have the power to do this.

She began to feel a little anxious. In this era where divorce is difficult and the first choice is a lifetime one, how should she choose her husband?

Daughters are valuable, and this is always the case in any decent family, and they are given away casually as gifts.

As a legitimate daughter, isn't she more valuable and will they consider her more?

Is her fate also predetermined?

If you can't escape, what should you choose?

She no longer expects to meet the right person, she just hopes not to meet the wrong person.

Chao Yao lay on the bed, thinking a lot, and finally fell asleep in a daze.

When she woke up again, she found a familiar young woman sitting beside her bed.

Her eyes and eyebrows are so bright and charming that one can't help but forget the world.

Chao Yao stared blankly and couldn't help but sigh softly: "It's so beautiful!"

The woman frowned slightly, and her cherry-like mouth painted with vermilion lip balm opened and closed:

"How come you got yourself sick from anger, little girl? The concubine has been sent away and will no longer be a nuisance to you. Why hurt yourself?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Chao Yao suddenly remembered that the beautiful woman in front of her was her sister Chao Jin in this life!

"Sister~"

Chao Yao said three sweet words and lay on the bed, acting coquettishly towards Chao Jin.

"Look at you, how embarrassing it is that you got sick because of a concubine's daughter. If you tell others about this, everyone will laugh to death! Why didn't you learn your mother's temper? What will happen if you get married in the future!"

"Sister~ I didn't know I was sick."

"That's right. You've been unconscious for three days and three nights, and you wouldn't wake up no matter how hard we tried. Mother has been guarding your yard every day, and I just called her back to rest for a while. Girl, don't be like this in the future. If a concubine's daughter offends you, just sell her off. She's just a little thing, there's no need to get angry with her."

"Okay, sis~ I'm hungry!"

"Cuihua, bring the warm rice porridge over so I can feed my sister."

Chao Yao just looked at Chao Jin, reluctant to take his eyes away.

"Sister, how can you be so beautiful!"

Chao Jin flicked her handkerchief and said, "You've been watching it every day for more than ten years, how can you not get tired of it? I'll help you sit up first, don't talk nonsense, save your energy."

Chao Yao slowly sat up, his pale little face full of smiles.

"How can you get tired of looking at a good-looking person every day? The more you look at them, the more you love them! I really envy my future brother-in-law. How can he be so lucky to marry you in the future?"

"I don't think your future brother-in-law cares much about me. He only thinks about taking the imperial examination and becoming an official. He has become a fool from studying so much."

"Isn't that good? Wanting to be famous and an official is also a sign of ambition. He is also considering your future."

"My mother said so, but I have to think about my future now. What will I think about in the future? Forget it. What can I say to a girl like you who has not even reached the age of marriage? You don't understand love yet."

"Does love have to exist to get married?"

"That depends on what kind of feelings it is. The reason why I am worried about his success in the imperial examination is that I am afraid that I will become the abandoned wife. I have paid a lot, but when he succeeds in the future, it will have nothing to do with me."

"Sister, why worry so much? Just be true to yourself and leave the rest to retribution."

Chao Jin chuckled and tapped Chao Yao's forehead, "You little girl, although young, you are able to take things easy."

"Miss, the porridge is here."

Cuihua handed a bowl of boiled white porridge to Chaojin. She took it steadily and fed Chaoyao mouthful by mouthful.

The feeling of being cared for by loved ones is really intoxicating!

The only thing that puzzles me now is why I suddenly fell into a coma for so long?
