The eldest sister was reborn and the younger sister traveled through time. I just want to survive.

Three days passed in a flash. At dusk on the fourth day, Dongyu ran into the house like a gust of wind.

"Miss, they're gone. Prince Rong and his men have left!"

Yin Xia followed in, and a bit of joy appeared on her usually calm face. "All the people and horses are heading south. They must be heading back to the city."

Yan Muxi was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't suppress her joy.

She jumped down from the bed neatly, "Let's go to the mountain to catch wild pheasants. Bring Lao Huang with you. It's time to stretch your muscles after the confinement period."

Lao Huang is a big yellow dog raised on the farm. He gave birth to two puppies a month ago. They are chubby and cute.

Yinxia laughed and complained, "The sun is about to set, can't we save the pheasants for tomorrow?"

"It's not too late today." Yan Muxi insisted.

Dongyu was the youngest of the four maids and the most outgoing. When she heard that they could go up the mountain, she immediately agreed, "It's still in time. It's still more than an hour before dark. We can even catch a hundred pheasants!"

Mrs. Man’s favorite food is braised pheasant. If she catches it today, she will send it back home early tomorrow so that she can eat it at noon.

Several days passed, and Prince Rong never came to visit again, and no rumors spread in the city. Yan Muxi was completely relieved.

Although the price of putting an end to the disaster was a bit high, the disaster was caused by A Niang herself, and since she didn't have to cut off her flesh and blood to pay it back, it wasn't a big loss.

The farm is surrounded by mountains and water, and the air is pleasant. Yan Muxi sleeps until he wakes up naturally every day. When he has had enough sleep and eaten enough, he walks the dog and plays with the chickens. When he is bored, he takes a few maids to the mountains to catch pheasants and rabbits. His days of lying down and enjoying himself are so comfortable.

Unfortunately, just as the twelfth lunar month began, the government sent someone to pick him up, and it turned out to be Yan San, Yan's father's personal attendant.

Yan Muxi asked with joy, "Can I really go back? Father said that I can't go back before the New Year."

"The old lady is not feeling well and said she missed the second young lady. The master specially ordered me to come and pick up the second young lady back home." Yan San replied respectfully.

Yan Muxi knew that it was his mother's credit that he could return home early, but he still had to pretend to be stupid and ask a few questions.

Grandpa once said that smart people don’t always have a good ending.

Especially for women who are imprisoned in the boudoir, their honor and disgrace throughout their lives depend on their fathers, brothers and future husbands. They have no control over anything. Instead of being a powerless wise man, it is better to be a sober and self-satisfied mediocre person.

Yan Muxi was unwilling to tie his life, death, honor and disgrace to others, but he was also powerless to break free from the shackles.

She followed her grandfather's teachings and tried her best to act mediocre, hoping to avoid the fate of becoming a pawn!

At the Yan Mansion, Qian Manman was waiting at the second gate early in the morning, and when she saw a group of people entering the house, she walked towards them with great speed.

"Finally I'm back. Let me see if you've lost weight!"

After looking Yan Muxi up and down, he asked, "Huh? How come he looks a lot fatter?"

Yan Muxi said with a smile, "Mother must have seen it wrong. My daughter doesn't eat or sleep well at the farm, how could she be fat?"

Qian Manman nodded in agreement, "Yes, mother must have had eyesight problems from seeing too many bastards. I wanted to take you home earlier, but your father refused to agree. You must have suffered for more than a month. Mother asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite sesame crisps. After you meet the old lady, go to mother's yard and eat as much as you want."

The mother and daughter chattered together as they walked towards Fujuyuan where Old Mrs. Yan lived.

"I just heard my mother say that she has seen too many offal. What offal?" Yan Muxi asked curiously.

Qian Manman's smile disappeared in an instant, and she pouted towards the small courtyard to the west.

"It's that bitch from Jun Lanyuan. She's looking for trouble with mother right after she got home. She pretended to be sick last night and called your father away. Your father didn't come back to the East Courtyard all night. Humph! A vixen is always pretending to be pitiful to seduce men. Just thinking about it makes me angry."

Yan Muxi felt that something was wrong. "Then what happened to Aunt Ge?"

Thinking that her own daughter was eager to care about others, Qian Manman was so angry that her round face puffed up, "Your father spoils her, how dare I really do anything to her, I can only punish her by making her kneel in the yard and repent."

Yan Muxi sighed in her heart. If nothing unexpected happened, her silly mother would be cheated again.

Aunt Ge was the concubine that Yan's father took in when he was sent to serve as a county magistrate. Not long after they married, she gave birth to a boy and a girl - the third daughter Yan Muyun and the eldest son Yan Honglin. The siblings were only one year younger than her and Yan Muqing.

Qian Manman was not able to defeat Su, the other legal wife, on a daily basis, and he never got the slightest advantage from the concubine, Aunt Ge.

In less than two years since Shan Yanmuxi returned home, Qian Manman has been cheated by Aunt Ge so many times that she can't even count them with two hands.

To go to Fujuyuan, one has to pass by Junlanyuan. Yan Muxi was worried so he thought of taking a look. But when he took a look, he was stunned.

Aunt Ge in the yard fell to the ground, and the bluestone floor beneath her was stained red. It was unknown whether she was dead or alive.

Seeing the scene in front of her, Qian Manman's body went limp and she was supported by Liu's mother to prevent herself from falling to the ground.

Yan Muxi suppressed his surging emotions and hurriedly told Jin Chun who was following behind him, "Hurry up, go and take a look."

"Go away, don't come near my aunt. I'm pregnant, and no one of you can afford anything if something goes wrong." Jinglan, the personal maid of Aunt Ge, stood in front and didn't allow anyone to get close.

Jin Chun didn't waste any time talking to her. He pushed the person away violently and knelt on the ground to take the pulse of the unconscious Aunt Ge.

After a moment, seeing Jin Chun shaking his head, Yan Muxi's heart sank to the bottom.

The sky had been gloomy for several days, and at this moment snowflakes began to fall. The cold wind and flying snow made the thin figure lying in a pool of blood look even more miserable and pitiful.

Old Lady Yan and the Su mother and daughter rushed over one after another, and the small courtyard was filled with people in an instant.

Old Mrs. Yan was born into a peasant family. She usually stayed in the yard to grow vegetables and flowers and never took care of anything else. When she saw Aunt Ge lying on the ground, not knowing whether she was dead or alive, she just covered her chest and sighed.

Su gave the order with a sullen face, "Jinglan ordered the maids to carry Madam Ge into the house, and Madam Li went to the front yard to ask the servants to call for the doctor. Remember to hurry."

The chaotic footsteps and the cries of maids and old women in her ears were like a hammer hitting Qian Manman. Even though she was extremely scared, she was so used to being so arrogant that she couldn't utter a soft word.

"You can't blame me for this. Mrs. Ge never mentioned that she was pregnant. I just made her kneel down as punishment. I didn't mean to kill her!"

"Shut up!" Su turned around and shouted.

Qian Manman felt aggrieved and held back tears, but she didn't dare to let them fall, and she didn't dare to speak any more.

The maids and old women were just about to carry Madam Ge into the house when they suddenly heard a shout.

"Aunt~mother~"

When everyone heard the sound and looked, they saw a girl in plain clothes running towards them in the drifting snow.

The lightly furrowed brows, the flowing eyes, the red lips, and the skirt fluttering in the wind, are like a painting of a lady painted by a master painter, so beautiful that it is beyond words.

Although everyone knew it was inappropriate to admire beauty at this time, everyone still stared at her, and Yan Muxi was no exception.

After not seeing each other for several months, the third sister has become more beautiful. Her face is still the same, but her whole person seems to have been reborn, cold and elegant.

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and carry your aunt into the house!" The girl's voice was as clear as a wind chime, and even her angry scolding words sounded pleasant to the ears.

After entering the house, Yan Muyun drove everyone out despite being stopped.

It is called the outer room, but in fact it is only separated from the bed by a translucent screen, and one can clearly see the swaying figure inside from the outside.

Looking at Yan Mujun's anxious and busy figure, others thought that she was just too anxious and making a fuss, but only Yan Muqing knew that she could really save Aunt Ge's life.
