At 3:45 AM, the sun had just risen, scattering its light across the ground; it seemed today would be another rare and beautiful day.
"Miss, you're up so early today, is there something you need?" Gu Yu brought the water for washing up and placed it aside to serve her.
"Okay, I'm going to have breakfast with my parents and brother, and then I'll go out for a walk. It's been so long since I've been out, I'm getting all stiff," Yan Wan said while washing up.
Actually, the purpose of this trip was to help the female lead's younger brother. The female lead and her brother's mother died early, and their father made his concubine his official wife. The concubine had been tormenting the two children. The child born to the concubine, Jing Lian'er, was tormenting the female lead, Jing Xi, to death. It was at this time that the female lead from another world transmigrated.
The female lead's younger brother, Jingmo, suffered from severe physical hardship since childhood, resulting in extremely poor health. However, thanks to Jingxi's years of dedicated care, his condition gradually improved. Unfortunately, this improvement was short-lived. As he grew up, Jingmo joined the army to protect his sister, hoping to secure a future for her and prevent her from being bullied or oppressed. He ultimately died protecting his sister, Jingxi. Ultimately, the root cause was the lack of proper care in his childhood, which resulted in an unstable foundation when he later practiced martial arts. This led to his defeat and death when he fought the assassin who killed Jingxi.
Judging by the days, the female lead should be arriving soon, and it's time to go and meet her.
"Let's go, Guyu, to the main hall to have dinner with Dad, Mom, and Brother."
"Wan'er, you're not feeling well, why don't you rest a little longer?" her brother Yan Jin said.
"Greetings, Father, Mother, and Brother. Wan'er has been recovering from her injuries for a long time and wants to go out for a stroll. If she stays here any longer, she'll grow mushrooms."
"Alright, Wan'er, come and eat. You'll be full when you go out." The beautiful woman pulled Yan Wan to sit down.
"When Wan'er goes out to play, if anyone dares to bully you, just tell your father, and I'll get revenge for you, hmph."
The beautiful woman rolled her eyes. "Wan'er went out to play, not to seek revenge. Who would have bullied her?"
"Hmph, anyway, no one can bully my fair-skinned, delicate daughter. If anyone bullies her, I'll fight them to the death."
Seeing how protective she was of her family, Yan Wan felt a lump in her throat. So this is what it feels like to be protected. Yan Wan, don't worry, I will protect your family for you.
After saying that, Yan Wan felt a lightness in her body. The original owner's obsession had been resolved, and it was time for her to leave.
"Father, Mother, don't worry. If anyone dares to bully me, I'll fight back."
"Good, good, that's more like Dad's daughter! Like father, like daughter! Hahahahahahahaha!"
Yan Wan walked out of the mansion and looked at the bustling street, full of the sounds of everyday life. Looking back at the mansion, she realized that she now had a place to shelter from the wind and rain in this other world.
"Miss, where are we going?" Gu Yu asked.
"Let's go to Jing Lian'er's house." Jing Lian'er's father, Jing Hong, was a fifth-rank official and the Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies. In the capital city, where a single brick could kill two officials of the fifth rank or above, he was not particularly conspicuous. That's why Jing Lian'er clung to Yan Wan, asking her to take her to various banquets to show off and secure a good marriage for herself.
The Jing family.
"Miss Yan, you've arrived. I'll go and inform you." A servant from the Jing family hurriedly stepped forward and said.
"It's nothing, no need to announce it. I'm not here to see her today."
After Yan Wan entered the Jing residence, she walked towards the small courtyard in the southeast direction. The book says that Jing Xi and Jing Mo lived in a dilapidated house in the southeast, and their living conditions were very poor. Despite being the legitimate daughter and son, they were bullied to such an extent. It seems that Jing Hong is indeed no good person.
"Go quickly and tell Miss Lian'er that Miss Yan went to that pair of sluts' courtyard," the steward instructed the servants.
Yan Wan looked at the dilapidated wooden door in front of her, pushed it open, and went inside. There was only a run-down house. In the courtyard, a thin, bony little boy looked at her warily. A maidservant ran out from a side room to protect the little boy and said...
"May I ask what brings you to this humble courtyard today, Miss?"
“Miss, this, this, this, there are still people living in such a dilapidated house. The Jing family is so harsh on their servants, it’s too much.” Gu Yu said indignantly.
"More than that, this is not the residence of servants, but the residence of the legitimate daughter and son of the Jing family."
"I'm here to see your young lady. Please inform her." Yan Wan said with a smile.
"Oh? There are still people looking for me in this dilapidated courtyard. I wonder why Miss Yan is coming to see me instead of my dear sister?"
Yan Wan looked up toward the source of the sound. Dressed in black, she leaned against a pillar in front of the door. Her pale face was strikingly beautiful, and it was clear from a young age that she was a little beauty.
"I wouldn't presume to offer advice; I'd rather be your friend," Yan Wan said with a gentle smile.
It seems she's here. I reckon the Jing family will be in chaos in a couple of days. Thinking of this, Yan Wan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
