This is where?

Liu Zhirou's mind was in a mess.

She was clearly staying up late last night to memorize words for a few points, but when she opened her eyes today, she found herself inexplicably in this quaint house.

Well, maybe I encountered something as unreasonable as time travel? However, it doesn't seem to be something unacceptable. Since I have traveled through time, maybe I don't need to take exams or worry about grades.

But soon, she found that her imagination was too good.

"The girl is awake, the girl is awake!" As a female voice as melodious as an oriole sounded, a group of people filed in, filling up her seemingly spacious house in an instant.

"Zhirou, my son, what happened to you? You were in class, but you suddenly fainted? The palace selection is just around the corner, and we can't let anything happen at this time!" A noble lady who looked to be in her thirties rushed in with a worried look on her face, and immediately hugged Liu Zhirou, who was still in a daze.

She looked a little haggard, probably because she was extremely worried about her daughter's inexplicable illness.

Not long after she finished speaking, an old lady with silver hair came in, supported by a maid, and scolded the woman who looked luxuriously dressed in front of a group of people.

"Ming'er, what are you talking about? Is it Rou'er who decides whether or not to get sick? You have been in charge of household chores for so many years, but you are still so stupid. All these years of experience have been wasted on you!"

Liu Zhirou felt a slight pain near her temple, but still couldn't remember anything more. However, her instinct made her recognize the identities of the two women in front of her - the middle-aged woman in luxurious clothes was undoubtedly her mother, and the old lady with silver hair was her grandmother.

"You mean, those little bitches are jealous of my Rou'er..."

"Shut up! Can you say such things in front of children? Zhao, don't go too far!" The old lady was furious.

"It's because our Rou'er is a smart and good child that she hasn't been corrupted by a stupid and vicious woman like you! No matter what you think, those people are Ming'er's concubines, and their children have to call you mother!"

Since waking up, Liu Zhirou had not had time to rest properly and sort out her thoughts. She was forced to watch the verbal fight between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. It must be said that it was quite miserable.

She desperately wanted the two women to go outside to quarrel and stop competing with her for the thin oxygen in the house, but she didn't dare to speak casually, for fear of showing that she was different from the original owner and thus arousing suspicion from this group of people.

Even if they would not do anything bad to their daughter just because of some fabricated things, it is better to be safe than sorry.

She could only frown, narrow her eyes, and look quite painful.

Soon, a young woman nearby noticed that something was wrong with her.

Although she was a young woman, she looked only a few years older than Liu Zhirou, and her hair was tied up like a woman's bun. The woman looked quiet and elegant, and quite bookish.

"Madam, Madam, Third Sister seems to be feeling a little uncomfortable. Why don't we ask the doctor to come in and take a look. If we have anything to say, let's talk outside first, so as not to disturb Third Sister's rest."

Liu Zhirou couldn't help but thank her in her heart.

After hearing this, the old lady calmed down her anger and realized that her granddaughter-in-law was right. She knocked the floor twice with her cane, and then said to her daughter-in-law behind her with a tone of disappointment: "Hurry up! Look at you, you have grown so old, but you are not as sensible as Zhen'er's daughter-in-law!"

The middle-aged woman adjusted her hair full of pearls and jade, with a hint of anger evident in her eyes, but in the end she said nothing and obediently followed the old lady away.

After Liu Zhirou said a few words to fool the doctor away, she finally got some space to herself.

She first took out a bronze mirror and looked at herself in the mirror. Well, it was completely different from before, and she seemed to be several years younger.

Then she organized her thoughts and recalled whether she had done anything strange in the past few days and whether there was any possibility of saving it.

After finishing the sorting, she unexpectedly found that she had brought a very rigid system.

Calling it a system might be a bit of a compliment, after all, this thing only has two parts, a long energy bar and a strange-looking gashapon machine. As long as she has a slight thought in her mind, she can summon these two things.

She didn't know exactly what she would use to fill the energy bar, nor did she know what she could get from the gashapon machine, but at least it was a thought.

However, now is not the time to study these things. She must first understand the original owner's status in the family, the crisis she faces, and what she will do next, and then quietly keep this character, protect herself, and make her life better as much as possible.

She called in the maid who had been sent outside earlier.

The maid's name was Chuntao. She looked one or two years older than she is now. She wore a green jacket without any patterns and had no makeup on her face. However, one could tell that she had delicate features and pretty eyebrows.

She couldn't help but show anxiety on her face, and it was obvious that she cared very much about the girl she had taken care of since she was a child.

"Miss, do you want to eat something? The kitchen has been heating up the green stem rice porridge. I'll bring it up right away."

"Don't bother for now. I don't have much appetite now and don't want to eat. What happened before I fainted?"

Liu Zhirou had thought about it for a moment and decided to open the topic with a topic that was least likely to go wrong.

The previous quarrel between her mother and grandmother had clearly shown that there was unrest in this family, so Liu Zhirou had to first be concerned about the content of the quarrel.

Since she fainted, it was understandable that she had no clear memory of what happened before and after. It was much easier to test a maid than to test the masters, and she could relax a little.

Even if Chuntao really discovered something, it would be difficult to attract other people's attention.

Chuntao didn't have any suspicions. Seeing her daughter wake up from her coma and suddenly become energetic again, she was so happy that she couldn't express it in words.

She chattered on and on about a lot of things, some of which Liu Zhirou had asked about and some of which she had not asked about.

Liu Zhirou listened to her words and sorted out some of her thoughts. She felt hungry at this moment, so she asked someone to bring in some porridge. While drinking it, she sorted out the information revealed in her words.

Liu Zhirou's memory was not completely lost, otherwise, no matter how careful she was, she would not be able to cope with this complicated situation. Whenever Chuntao mentioned someone, she would always quickly recall the person's voice, appearance and smile.

It is precisely because of this convenience that she is able to quickly grasp this information and force herself to put herself into it.

Soon, she understood what she was facing and what she had experienced.
