Traveled through time and became the darling of the whole family

"Ugh~"

Ye Ziyu: The sky is towering, the earth is vast, why do I still feel carsick after traveling through time? It seems that my original body’s vestibular balance was not good either.

"Miss, drink some water and calm down. We will soon reach the inn. When we get there, ask the doctor to check on you."

"No, do you have any sour candied fruit? Let me suck it, it will make me feel better."

"I'll buy it for you." Lixia said and got off the carriage.

"Li Qiu, how long will it take us to get home?"

"Miss, it won't be that fast. It took more than half a month to come and pick you up. Now you are not feeling well. We have to stop and rest along the way. It will probably take even longer."

Ye Ziyu had a sudden feeling of powerlessness, 'It's still better in the modern times, with advanced technology, it only takes a few hours to get from the southernmost point to the northernmost point.' Forget it, what else can I do, just endure it.

After a while, Lixia came back with some sour candied fruits. Ye Ziyu took one and put it in her mouth. The feeling of vomiting disappeared a little and she felt much more comfortable.

Because he had to take care of Ye Ziyu's health, the journey that was supposed to take two hours took two and a half hours. Fortunately, there were still rooms available when he arrived at the inn.

Back in the room, Ye Ziyu sat on a chair to rest, Li Qiu made the bed, and Li Xia served the meal.

Ye Ziyu: "Li Qiu, come here, I have a question for you."

Li Qiu had almost finished laying the clothes, so he turned around and came to Ye Ziyu's side, "Miss, please ask."

"How many people are there at home now?"

"17 people."

"So many people, a whole family living together? Can you give me a detailed introduction to the situation of each room?"

"The old lady gave birth to three sons and one daughter. Our master is the oldest. You have two brothers and a sister who is not your biological sister."

"A sister who is not her biological sister? A half-sister?"

"Yes, after you went missing, Madam couldn't bear the shock and was bedridden. In order to ease Madam's pain of losing her daughter, Master adopted an orphan girl and raised her in Madam's name. The eldest daughter is older than you."

"Does my father have any concubines?"

"No, my dear lady."

Ye Ziyu: Oh, so you adopted an orphan not long after she went missing in order to ease the pain of losing your daughter? Maybe, like in those novels, that daughter was a concubine's daughter, and in order to let that daughter enter the mansion legitimately, you deliberately let me go missing.

"What's the situation with my maternal family? Is it particularly powerful?"

"Madam's family is a merchant, huh? As for the greatness, does it count as having money?"

"Rich? Very rich?"

"I guess so. The Jiang family owns 70% of the shops in the entire capital, and there are many Jiang family shops in other places as well."

Ye Ziyu: So rich? Then I am a wealthy woman. Did my father fall for my mother's money? Then he abandoned his beloved and married my mother? Isn't this the routine in novels? I feel like I am getting the truth.

"Although the madam's family is very rich, the general's mansion is not bad either." Li Qiu said immediately

Ye Ziyu: ??? That’s right, I forgot it was the General’s Mansion. If the General’s Mansion is favored, the emperor’s reward should not be small.

"Next, what about my eldest and second brothers? How old are they?"

"The eldest young master is 16 this year. He followed the old master into the army. He is amazing. He became a commander after one year. The second young master is 14 this year. Although he is not yet of military age, he does not like martial arts but business. Madam handed over half of the shop to the second young master. The second young master is a business genius. In less than half a year, the shop's revenue has doubled."

Ye Ziyu: They all sound impressive. If they pamper me, I should be able to be a useless person, which is pretty good.

"Let's continue talking about the second and third rooms."

"Squeak~" Lixia pushed open the door, holding a basket, and placed the meals on the table one by one, "Miss, there are many guests in the inn today, and the ingredients are limited. I made some simple food, please make do with it for now."

"Well, good. You guys sit down and eat together."

"Miss, we will serve you. We will go down to eat later."

"I know you have a lot of rules, but you don't have to follow so many rules in private. Sit down and eat together, otherwise it will be boring for me to eat alone. And don't call me your servants all the time, it's uncomfortable to hear." Ye Ziyu was really not used to others standing by and watching, so she forced Lixia and Liqiu to sit down and eat together.

"Please continue." Ye Ziyu took a bite of the food and said to Li Qiu while eating.

Li Qiu: "Miss, don't talk while eating and don't talk while sleeping."

"It's so boring to eat without gossip, and there's nothing to eat with rice." Ye Ziyu was unhappy, "You guys, everything is good, except for one thing, there are too many rules. Don't tell me so many rules in private, and move on."

"Miss, I will go see if there is any dish to make for you." Lixia stood up and said

"Look, you guys are starting over again. The food I mentioned is different from that. Hey, sit down and eat. This is enough. Liqiu, continue. Hurry up."

"The second master and the third master both served as officials in the imperial court, but their official positions were not high. The second master had a wife, Lu, whose family was also in business. The second master also had two concubines, Yun Yi Niang and Wei Yi Niang. Wei Yi Niang was more favored by the second master and gave birth to a son and a daughter. Yun Yi Niang had a daughter."

"The Lu family has no children?"

"Yes, the Second Madam has never gotten pregnant. If it weren't for the pressure from the Old Madam, the Second Madam would never have let Madam Yun and Madam Wei marry into the family. After all, Madam Wei was the Second Madam's maidservant during her dowry."

"What about the third room?"

"The Third Master has a concubine, Aunt Tao. The Third Madam, Mrs. Li, and Aunt Tao have a very good relationship. They are like real sisters. The Third Madam has a son and a daughter, but Aunt Tao has no sons or daughters. However, the Third Master does not particularly favor Aunt Tao. On the contrary, he has a very good relationship with the Third Madam."

Ye Ziyu: They have a very good relationship but she still takes a concubine and doesn't pamper her. What is Aunt Tao trying to achieve? Is she playing around?

The master and servants chatted about the family history of the Ye family. Near the hour of midnight, Ye Ziyu fell asleep. Li Qiu lit some sleeping incense and left the room.

"You go and have a rest. I'll stay here. You'll have to take care of the young lady tomorrow." Lixia said to Liqiu when she saw him come out of the room.

"Okay, you are good at martial arts, so it shouldn't be a problem for you to guard alone. There are guards outside too. I'll go to sleep for a while."

Ye Ziyu suddenly felt a gust of cold wind in her sleep. She shook her body and touched the quilt that she had kicked away, preparing to cover herself with it and turn over to continue sleeping when she heard a rustling sound. She opened her eyes and saw a dark shadow. The dark shadow also saw Ye Ziyu open her eyes, and before Ye Ziyu could make a sound, her mouth was covered.

"what!"

A scream broke the silence of the night.
