After Shi Guang confirmed that he had indeed traveled through time, in addition to being happy to see Lin Momo again, he also realized a helpless and sad fact.

That means he might no longer exist in another time and space, or he might have already drowned.

The elderly bury their children.

His parents didn't know if they could bear the devastating news of losing their son.

Fortunately, my parents still have a son, which is some consolation for them.

What's done is done; there's no point in dwelling on it.

He could only pray across time and space that his parents would recover soon, take care of their health, and forgive him for his unfilial act of leaving halfway through.

After figuring things out, Shi Guang focused his attention on finding Lin Momo.

In this backward and remote ancient time, everything that came into view was so unfamiliar upon first arrival.

Even his family members, who were his family members, showed no affection for him.

Moreover, the so-called family members did not seem to be friendly to the original owner.

From the part of his memories that he inherited after waking up, it's clear that his position in this family is quite awkward.

This is an official family, and their background seems to be quite good.

Shi Yu, the father, belonged to the first generation of officials and had climbed up from the bottom. Therefore, his first wife did not come from a high social class; she was the daughter of a scholar in the town.

Back then, in order to ensure that the family's only son would have children as soon as possible, the grandfather arranged for his son to marry the daughter of a scholar who had missed the best age for marriage because she was observing mourning for her mother.

The woman was three years older than her husband, and soon after their marriage, she gave birth to a son.

This child was the original owner of the body, who had been pampered by his grandparents and mother since childhood.

His father, perhaps due to his youth and obsession with fame and fortune, devoted himself to studying day and night and did not have much affection for his son.

This is not surprising.

In that era, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy was still a child. How could he possibly like another child so much younger than him?

Four years later, Shi Yu, who had devoted himself to preparing for the imperial examinations, passed and became a Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations).

At this time, he was only twenty-one years old, and he had become famous at a young age. Many officials and wealthy families in the capital wanted to marry their daughters to him, but unfortunately, they already had wives and children, so they could only suppress their restless desire for marriage alliances.

However, Shi Yu's first wife was not blessed.

Before she could enjoy any happiness with her husband, she and her unborn child died in childbirth in less than a year.

As a result, Shi Yu, who was in the spotlight, remarried less than three months later. He married the daughter of a fourth-rank official in the capital, and she gave birth to two sons and a daughter for him.

This stepmother seemed to treat the original owner of the body as her own daughter.

She would unconditionally satisfy whatever he wanted; even if he did something wrong, he would not be punished in the slightest, and even if he had a conflict with her own child, she would not be the one to be criticized.

The stepmother's attitude towards the eldest son of the Shi family can be summed up in one word: spoil!

Spoil them rotten!

The original owner was young and ignorant, and had never seen the wickedness of human nature. In his limited little mind, he only knew that his stepmother loved him especially, even more than her own son.

But time saw through the intentions of this high-born stepmother at a glance, and it boiled down to two words:

Praise to death!

He wanted to destroy the original owner of the body to remove obstacles for his son to inherit the family business.

Later, he went to live with his son's grandfather, but the more he looked at his son, the more he felt something was wrong. He wanted to change his eldest grandson's bad habits, but it was too late; the child's personality had already been formed.

They've also entered their rebellious phase and are very disobedient.

Only by putting in tremendous effort can we hope to straighten this crooked sapling.

However, Shi Yu, the son of an official, devoted all his energy to officialdom. In addition, he had little fatherly affection for his eldest son from his first marriage and always let his second wife discipline their son, almost never interfering.

Let him manage it himself; firstly, he won't be able to bring himself to be too harsh, and secondly, there will always be someone blocking his way.

Just as he was about to teach his eldest grandson a lesson, his daughter-in-law would jump out and cause trouble, either trying to calm him down or pleading for his grandson.

After several such incidents, the grandson actually became estranged from his grandfather and avoided him whenever he saw him.

He was so angry that he fell seriously ill.

Two more years passed awkwardly like this, and then Grandpa Shi suddenly said he wanted to take his eldest grandson out to visit friends, and they left without warning.

The original owner was initially quite happy to hear that he could go out and play, but after going out, he realized how hard the journey would be, so he gave up halfway and cried and begged his grandfather to take him home.

Old Master Shi was not about to give in to his wishes and refused to give up halfway.

Who knew that the boy would try to sneak out of the inn's window in the middle of the night and then run home by himself.

As a result, he tripped and fell, killing himself, which was fortunately taken advantage of by the time traveler.

*

The boy also bumped his head and broke it open. Old Master Shi felt sorry for his grandson, so he let him rest at the inn for two days before the two of them continued their journey.

When I first arrived in this strange world, I was completely clueless. I took advantage of these two days to recover from my injuries to adjust my mindset and sort out my thoughts.

She also began to accept this identity.

He knew in his heart that he was not alone in this unfamiliar dynasty.

Although it was still unclear where the old man planned to take his grandson to visit friends, the jade gourd that had come with him gave him a hint.

It seems they want him to go with the old man.

Time knew the wonder of this gourd and felt that this matter was very unusual, so it was probably right to listen to it.

In truth, he and this jade gourd had a life-or-death bond, so it would never betray him.
