"Asshole, give my mother back to me! You killed her."
"Get out of here, little brat. It's your mother who's a bitch. She's willing to cheat on your father for me. She's determined to die for me. What does it have to do with me?"
"You're talking nonsense! You're not allowed to say that about my mother. Now that she's dead, I'm going to die anyway. I'm going to fight you!"
The sound of fierce quarrel came into her ears, but Su Miaomiao couldn't open her eyes.
Suddenly, a lot of memories that did not belong to her flooded into her head.
She sat up suddenly.
She traveled through time!
She was 23 years old and a hard-working worker with a monthly income of 3,000 yuan. She died suddenly from working overtime late at night.
When she opened her eyes, her soul was transported to the eldest daughter of the Minister of Rites, who had the same name and age as her. Not only did she marry the great general Xiao Yunfei, who was so powerful that he threatened the emperor, but she also became a vicious stepmother to five children.
The original body started out in heaven, but played a good hand of cards badly.
In the memory, the original self ignored the handsome general Xiao Yunfei and instead tried to please the poor scholar Ji Baiqing.
Ji Baiqing didn't love the original body at all. He was just using the original body from beginning to end, trying to get the original body to do things for him and spend money on him.
But the original body foolishly thought that she had met true love and was willing to be Ji Baiqing's pawn and ATM. She even agreed to marry Xiao Yunfei, whom she didn't like, in order to get her father to agree to help Ji Baiqing cheat in the imperial examination.
After marriage, she became even worse. Not only did she not let Xiao Yunfei touch her, but in order to please Ji Baiqing, she also secretly emptied Xiao Yunfei's general's mansion and gave it to Ji Baiqing while Xiao Yunfei was fighting outside.
She would send any good things at home to Ji Baiqing first, and spoiled Ji Baiqing's children as her own. She also humbled herself and called Ji Baiqing's wife a sister. She also said more than once that as long as Ji Baiqing was willing to marry her, she would be willing to be a concubine.
Just five days ago, Xiao Yunfei, who had not been home for five years, suddenly returned to the general's mansion and brought terrible news.
The emperor was afraid that Xiao Yunfei's achievements would threaten his authority, so he ordered Xiao Yunfei to be exiled to Ningguta with his wife, children, and Ji Baiqing's family. In order to force Xiao Yunfei to go into exile obediently, he also captured all the relatives of the Xiao family within the nine clans and brought them to the capital as hostages.
At the same time, a system of exile with certain death was established, forcing Xiao Yunfei to take his wife and children to Ningguta within a month without any escort or protection from soldiers and with nothing on them.
If one person in a family of seven did not arrive in Ningguta when the time came, it would be considered a rebellion and the entire family would be executed.
The Dog Emperor was certain that it would be impossible for all seven of their family to reach Ningguta within the specified time. Even if they were lucky enough to reach Ningguta, they would not be able to survive in such a bitter and cold place.
The Dog Emperor really went to great lengths to eradicate Xiao Yunfei.
During such a difficult exile, the original body was even more excessive than before. He always secretly gave the hard-earned food and water to Ji Baiqing, leaving his own children thirsty and hungry, and he didn't care about his own children's life or death at all.
Just now, while Xiao Yunfei was out looking for food, the original body beat the children severely in order to force them to give the hare that her husband had risked his life to snatch from the tiger's mouth to Ji Baiqing. Then she even threatened to die by hitting her head against a rock.
According to the exile system, if the original body died, not only Xiao Yunfei and the five children would die, but all the nine clansmen who were held hostage in the capital would also die. That would be hundreds of lives.
Of course, the original person didn't really want to die. She just wanted to scare the children, but she didn't expect to backfire and was actually killed.
When the children saw that their mother was dead and they themselves could not survive, they went to Ji Baiqing to argue in anger, but were scolded by Ji Baiqing instead.
As soon as Su Miaomiao woke up, she saw Ji Baiqing raising his leg and about to kick his youngest son.
She didn't have time to think about it, and subconsciously rushed over, yelling at the same time.
"stop!"
Su Miaomiao protected her five-year-old son and held him in her arms.
She glared at Ji Baiqing.
"Ji Baiqing, he's just a child, how can you hit a child?"
When Ji Baiqing saw that she was not dead, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he sneered, as if he had seen a huge joke.
"Su Miaomiao, are you sick? This isn't the first time I've beaten them. What's the big deal? Don't you also beat them nine times a day? Why are you pretending?"
Su Miaomiao really wanted to retort, but what Ji Baiqing said was indeed true.
The oldest of these five children is 10 years old and the youngest is only 5 years old. They were all sent back from the military camp by Xiao Yunfei five years ago and placed in foster care with her.
She didn't love Xiao Yunfei, and even less did she love these five children who had no blood relationship with her.
For the past five years, she has either beaten or scolded them. Even though they live in the magnificent general's mansion, they still don't have enough food or warm clothes. They are abused and tortured by their stepmother every day, and even live worse than the beggars on the street.
Recalling the children's experiences, she thought of herself in her previous life.
Her biological mother died when she was three years old. Her father found her a stepmother just one week after her biological mother's death. From then on, she lived like a guest in someone else's home even though she was in her own home.
Her stepmother was two-faced. She treated her very well in front of her father and grandparents, but when no one else was around, she would beat and scold her, belittle her, and not give her food.
She lived a life worse than death during that period.
She knew too well the feeling of being bullied and abused by her stepmother, but no one believed her when she told them about it.
But at least her father came home every day, and even if he didn't believe what she said, she could still breathe a little easier when he was home.
But these five children were much more miserable than her. She couldn't even imagine how difficult life was for the children when Xiao Yunfei hadn't returned home for five years and they only had contact with their stepmother and had to make a living with her.
