Chapter 01 Who do you think you are?
"... By the Will of Heaven, the Emperor decrees..."
As soon as Bai Li regained consciousness, he heard a voice like something out of a drama.
"Sister, sister, wake up, we have to kowtow and express our gratitude!"
Her younger brother and sister who were next to her were shaking her arms softly, while her parents and grandparents in front of her had already bent down and started kowtowing with their heads to the ground.
Bai Li kowtowed in a daze, and then was led into a hall with his family. There were guards with swords at the door.
I looked up at these family members blankly. Some were crying quietly, some were complaining, and some were comforting others.
Then, when they saw the body's parents, General Bai Zongren and Li Mingyue, they couldn't help but cover their mouths and almost screamed out loud.
picture!
So similar!
They are exactly like her parents in her previous life!
Bai Li is a lonely soul from the future. One moment he was fighting zombies in the apocalypse, and the next moment he arrived at the General Bai’s Mansion in the Great Zhou Kingdom and traveled through time and space to the body of Bai Li, the eldest daughter of the general’s mansion. The original owner was fifteen years old this year and had just reached the age of marriage.
Her biological father, Bai Zongren, had fought on the battlefield for many years and was invincible. He was known as the Invincible General and was feared by all.
However, because his achievements surpassed his own, the emperor was wary of him and found an excuse to make him hand over his military command and disband the Bai family army.
Three days ago, a memorial was received accusing Bai Zongren of secretly communicating with the enemy country. The memorial also included letters exchanged with neighboring countries.
The emperor took advantage of the situation and sentenced Bai Zongren to the crime of implicating three clans and confiscating their property and exiling them.
Ugh!
What's with the so-called lenient sentence? It's clearly a trick played by the emperor to remove Bai Zongren's power, but at the same time to save his life, so that he can be sent to the battlefield in the future and continue to work for him.
The emperor took all the fame and benefits!
Bai Li believed that it was such an obvious setup that not only her entire family but even the entire court had seen through it, so there was no need for her to say more.
What she is thinking about now is the death of the original owner.
When the imperial edict to confiscate property and exile arrived, all the family members in the mansion went out to receive the order.
It was at that moment that she was pushed hard from behind by someone. Before she could spit out the core of the date she was chewing, she choked to death and her soul was replaced by the core.
Thinking of the culprit, Bai Li glanced around with a cold gaze. Her cousin Bai Yue behind her shrank back obviously with guilt, not daring to meet her gaze.
Is it her?
Searching through the original owner's memories, it was found that the original owner had always treated this cousin as a close friend, telling her everything and letting her take any good things.
Look at the colorful auspicious cloud tassel pearl hairpin on her head and the brocade silk on her body. They were given to her by her father from the emperor's reward, but her cousin who came to her room to play fell in love with them at first sight and asked her for them.
Haha, they are just some material possessions. She can’t wear them for long. I don’t want to bother with her.
But when she pushed her..., there was a huge force, as if she was pushing her with all her strength, it was definitely not an accidental collision.
Although we don't know what her purpose was, it is a fact that she killed the original owner.
This matter is not over yet. I will settle the score with her later.
Li Mingyue looked up and saw that her daughter looked unhappy. Thinking that she was worried, she walked over to comfort her.
"Don't worry, Li'er. Your marriage to the Zhao family has already been decided. I believe the Zhao family will come to pick you up today. There's still time for everything."
Bai Li knew that they were now waiting for people from the palace. They could only embark on the road of exile after the house was searched and confiscated, which would take at least until the afternoon.
Yes, there is still half a day left.
Zhao family?
Zhao Yuntian?
No, she doesn't want to get married.
"Mom, I'm fine."
The mother and the daughter were talking when someone came outside.
"Who is Bai Li? Come out, the Zhao family is here to pick you up!"
The guard at the door reported but did not come in.
Everyone in the Bai Mansion looked at Bai Li with envy, the lucky man who was about to escape from the sea of suffering.
Amidst the many envious gazes, Bai Li received a look that was sharp and chilling.
Turning around, I saw that the person looking at me was Bai Yue as expected.
baffling!
Bai Li shrugged and was pushed out of the door by his mother.
Outside the gate, an eight-person sedan chair was parked in front, and more than a dozen boxes and baskets were placed on both sides of the door.
As people came out, a tall horse with a bunch of red flowers hanging on it came forward, carrying a handsome young man in a red robe.
Without looking at Bai Li, he stepped forward, bowed deeply to the eunuch in charge, and spoke loudly.
"Captain Zhao of the Zhao Mansion has come as promised to marry Miss Bai Li. I hope Eunuch Li will help."
Eunuch Li took the invitation and read it, then waved his hand and said in a shrill voice, "Suit yourself!"
"Thank you, eunuch!"
After saying that, he drove his horse a few more steps, came in front of Bai Li, and looked down at her condescendingly.
Bai Li looked up and saw that he had contempt in his eyes and exuded coldness. He didn't look like a groom at all, but more like a ghost from the underworld collecting debts.
Seeing that she was unmoved, Zhao Yuntian frowned slightly.
"You, go aside, I'll tell you something."
Haha, you are so arrogant. Who do you think you are?
Bai Li rolled his eyes and didn't move.
"you……"
There were common people watching at the door, and people from the court were also staring. Zhao Yuntian had no choice but to dismount, throw the reins to his followers, reach out and grab Bai Li's arm, pulling her aside.
"Listen, I'm here to marry you today as promised. You better be smart and put on your wedding clothes and get on the sedan chair.
When you arrived at the gate of Zhao's house, you and A Zi entered at the same time, regardless of age.
From now on, you are the legal wife and she is the secondary wife, so you must not neglect her!"
"So, why should I marry you?"
If the wife and the concubine enter the house at the same time, how will the wife face people in the future?
It’s a good thing he thought of it!
"Do you have a choice?"
Zhao Yuntian spoke in a condescending tone, his eyes full of disgust.
"Since you already have someone you love, why do you want to marry me?"
"because……"
Could he say that his A Zi was born into a common family and couldn't even afford a decent dowry?
Although the Bai Mansion was ransacked, the dowry prepared in advance would not be confiscated. This was tacitly approved by the emperor.
Bai Li listened carefully and guessed that his purpose of marrying her was to get her dowry.
"Hehe, what if I don't agree?"
"It's your parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. It's an established fact and you can't be willful!"
Zhao Yuntian became anxious and reached out to grab her arms, unconsciously using strength.
Bai Li felt pain and stretched out his arms, then used a counter-grabbing hand to twist his arm.
Zhao Yuntian reacted quickly, pulling and tugging, trying to hold Bai Li in his arms.
Bai Li elbowed him from behind, hitting him hard on the chest with a "bang!". When he let go in pain, he raised his hand and slapped him twice.
"Bai Li!"
Zhao Yuntian was slapped in front of everyone and lost face. His face turned red and he looked murderous!
"Li'er, why are you..."
Li Mingyue, who was waiting for the couple to whisper in the distance, did not expect that the two would actually fight, and her daughter even hit the groom.
This was a serious matter. The people from the Zhao Mansion glared at Bai Li, as if they would rush forward to arrest him as long as Zhao Yuntian gave the order.
