(The order of worlds is not fixed. This novel is essentially a feel-good story, so please be kind, dear readers.)
After Bai Yuzhi died from an illness, she was bound to a system and gained a ...
Bai Yuzhi now suspects that Xu Hanshan gave her a gun because he knew what kind of people these people in the Xu family were, so he found an excuse to give her a gun.
After Xu Hanshan left, Xu Lanyin did not stay for long. As an unmarried girl, it would be scary for her to stay in the house where her father had died for a long time. So a group of maids and servants escorted the frightened Sixth Concubine and Xu Lanyin out.
As for Bai Yuzhi holding a gun in his hand, no one cared.
In the room where she was now, Mr. Xu's body had been carried out. It was said that Mrs. Guan's original intention was not to have it carried away, and that it could only be carried out after the burial three days later. However, Xu Hanshan's adjutant got back at her and insisted on having the body carried away.
So Bai Yuzhi was just staying here alone, and didn't have to share a room with Mr. Xu's corpse.
However, even if one really has to share a room with a corpse, Bai Yuzhi will not have any taboos at all.
What a joke! She herself died once and went to the hospital morgue. How could she be afraid of a mere dead person?
However, without Mr. Xu's corpse rotting and stinking here, the living experience is much better.
Bai Yuzhi lay down safely on the small couch, which was fully equipped with pillows and quilts. It was no worse than the bed that Master Xu had slept on. Bai Yuzhi was small in stature, so it was just right for him.
A night passed like this, and the peaceful days came to an end. Bai Yuzhi was still asleep. She could feel that it was just dawn outside when an rude maid came to call her.
"Ninth Concubine, please be awake. The master just passed away, and you can still sleep in this room until noon. You are really careless."
Behind the girl was the old woman who had carried Bai Yuzhi last night. The old woman had been cold and rude to Bai Yuzhi, but now she was very respectful to the girl.
Bai Yuzhi knew after a moment's thought that this girl was probably from the eldest wife's family.
The maid still had some manners. After all, this was Mr. Xu's residence when he was alive. She didn't dare to push the door open without permission, but just knocked a little louder.
But Bai Yuzhi was in a bad mood after being woken up like this. If she was unhappy, no one else could be happy.
[Host, maintain your character! ]
The system was worried that if Bai Yuzhi couldn't be controlled, all previous efforts would be wasted, so it quickly reminded him.
However, Bai Yuzhi revealed a sly smile: "System, tell me, what is the original body's personality?"
The system didn't understand why Bai Yuzhi would ask this question now, but that didn't stop it from answering: [My original self was a traditional lady from a wealthy family, receiving strict education from a lady from a noble family. I was sensitive and sentimental.]
Bai Yuzhi gently coaxed: "Then tell me, how would such a delicate and sentimental young lady feel after sleeping in a strange mansion where someone has died?"
The system responded without hesitation: [That must be very scary]
Bai Yuzhi: "Isn't that right? The original body was a fragile and sensitive girl. Her husband died on the day of the wedding, and she was forced to sleep in the bridal chamber where the deceased had died. So isn't it normal for her fragile nerves to cause morning daze?"
The system suddenly understood and was convinced by Bai Yuzhi's words.
That’s indeed true.
No matter how much this world restricts the behavior of the tasker, it only depends on whether the logic of the tasker's behavior is consistent with the original body's way of thinking. If the task is completed, then normal changes in the world line are within the allowed range.
Therefore, as long as Bai Yuzhi's behavior can be reasonably explained, it can be filled in the big shell of the character at will.
Like now.
Faced with the maids and servants' arrogant "wake-up service", Bai Yuzhi remained silent for three seconds, and then suddenly started screaming. The girl's crisp voice was particularly penetrating in the early morning, and because this was the place where Master Xu died, these maids and servants always felt it was eerie.
Suddenly, a woman's terrified scream was heard from the dim inner house, which would make anyone who heard it shudder.
The system is no longer a small system without any permissions. It turned into a big black crow, calling non-stop on the branch, and actually attracted a few "kindred birds" to circle around Master Xu's room with it. Combined with the white jade-like call, it was really creepy.
The girl who was so arrogant just now was frightened. Fortunately, there was a maid beside her. The maid was old and had experienced many things about gods and ghosts. She calmed down and this time she pushed open the white jade door directly.
"Ninth concubine, the wives are waiting for you in the front hall. If you don't go..." Don't blame her for being rude.
The old woman's unfinished words were completely blocked. She looked at the gun muzzle less than a few inches away from her forehead in horror. This was no joke. The black muzzle was pointing at the old woman's fatal spot. As long as Bai Yuzhi pulled the trigger, the old woman would die today.
Matters concerning gods and ghosts cannot suppress this old fox from the big house, but guns can.
The old woman's knees went weak and she fell to the ground with a thud.
"Ninth Concubine, please spare me! Ninth Concubine, please spare me!"
Bai Yuzhi's face was covered with tears and her eyes seemed half closed. The old woman plucked up the courage to look at her and found that Bai Yuzhi seemed to be possessed by something. The muzzle of the gun was spinning around, pointing at people while she cried and said don't come over.
The old woman breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that she was frightened.
Come to think of it, how could an inexperienced girl in the boudoir be able to handle a gun?
The old woman bravely stood up to subdue Bai Yuzhi, but the next second, the black muzzle of the gun was pointed at her forehead again.
"Ouch! Ouch! Spare me! Spare me!"
At this point, the old woman was completely out of her mind. She begged for mercy again and again, and when the white jade muzzle of the gun was moved away, she crawled out of the door, fearing that she would be shot by the gun if she was a step late.
The old woman now regretted everything. She wanted to curry favor with the eldest lady, so she asked to follow Miss Songzhi to this place. However, she never expected that the concubine who was just bought back to the Xu family for the purpose of getting married would have such precious things. Now, she failed to accomplish her goal and got into trouble.
Isn't this like being neither a human nor a human?
The old woman turned around and went out, and was shocked again. The moment she walked in, Songzhi's face was covered with blood, which was scary!
When I looked closely, I found that my eyes had been pecked by a crow!
The system flapped its wings and flew away, and when it reached a place where no one could see it, it returned to Bai Yuzhi.
【Host, I've vented your anger! 】
They were all very happy, but the maids and servants outside the door were miserable. The servants hurriedly supported Song Zhi and went back to the front hall to ask to see the eldest lady.
In the front hall, the eldest wife sat in the first seat, and the other seven concubines sat in the seats below in order. The eighth concubine had offended Xu Hanshan last night and was taken away, so there was a vacant seat.
The Seventh Concubine was unaware of the severity of the situation and even told the First Wife bad things about the Eighth Concubine, not knowing that the Sixth Concubine was making fun of her.
As he was saying this, a girl with blood all over her face suddenly came in from outside.
"Madam! Go and have a look! The Ninth Concubine is holding a gun, and no one can get close to her! I think she's crazy!"
