Chapter 3: An Unspeakable Gift



Enduring the weakness and dizziness, Wen Xi supported herself on the corner of the cabinet next to her and sat up.

According to the body's memory, because of her status as a concubine, the original owner was often bullied in the mansion, which also led to her children being bullied. Also, the original owner had a slight disability in her fingers.

The reason why the original owner became so ill this time was because the second concubine's daughter, Gu Wenyue, got into trouble but wrongly accused the original owner of taking the blame.

The original owner usually took the blame, not just because of her status as a concubine, but also because of her cowardly character. Her face showed that she was easy to bully.

As a result, he was punished by his stepmother to kneel in the ancestral hall for a whole night.

Being afraid of the dark, a mouse that came in for no apparent reason, and the fact that it was the Mid-Autumn Festival and the temperature dropped at night, all led to a fever.

Although Aunt Mao was worried, she only dared to worry quietly. Otherwise, I'm afraid it wouldn't be enough to just kneel in the ancestral hall.

When Momo, who was guarding the ancestral hall, opened the door the next morning, he saw the original owner fainted on the futon.

Just as they were about to report to the inner courtyard, a group of soldiers suddenly burst in. Suddenly, the entire Gu Mansion was in a state of panic. The guards at the ancestral hall didn't dare to cause any more trouble at this time, so they could only carry the original owner to the nearby grocery store, then go into the inner courtyard and wait for an opportunity to report.

The original owner left quietly under such conditions.

Wen Xi rubbed her fingers subconsciously, and the little finger of her left hand felt particularly awkward.

Looking down...how can I describe it!

When looking at the little finger from the back, there is almost nothing wrong with it, but when looking at it from the palm, it is particularly obvious.

Unlike the round fingertips of normal people, the fingertips are rectangular and slightly gray in color.

Wen Xi was stunned for a moment, then muttered with a smile:

"It looks really unique, and it looks just like my coffin..."

The words "quite similar" were not even uttered.

The scene was white again.

Sniffing the scent of chrysanthemums beside me, I wondered if this was my coffin. Why was I back?

Wen Xi raised her hand to look...

"Why"

Little hands! Little coffin fingers!

He actually came in with Gu Wenxi's body.

I felt something slightly prickly under my body, and when I touched it...

Wow! Isn't this the necklace my modern corpse is wearing?

Then he touched the ring, the bracelet, and the clothes that he hated but desired.

"I was wondering why my soul was so light and slippery. It turns out that everything was left in the coffin."

After experiencing such a ridiculous time travel, I feel at peace when I return to the coffin that has always been with me.

Rubbing the extra conspicuous tip of my little finger, I tried to recite silently:

"go out."

Sure enough, we returned to the warehouse.

"coffin."

No response.

"Little coffin!"

No response!

"My coffin!"

Lying in his coffin again.

After trying several more times, he even took out the chrysanthemum and put a wooden stick in to test it.

Wen Xi couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.

Is this a blessing in disguise?

This must be the legendary space!

Although this space is a little hard to describe.

A coffin is a coffin! At least we have the benefit of traveling through time.

More importantly, this coffin seems to have some medical effect. After the little body has been in the coffin for a few times, the originally hot forehead has cooled down and the body seems to have gained some strength.

Wen Xi was just about to get up and walk around when she heard a knock on the door from the nearby ancestral hall:

“Bang, bang, bang…”

"Fourth Miss, Fourth Miss!"

Wen Xi immediately got down and lay down at the door.

Isn’t the fourth girl calling herself?

He opened the gap a little and looked towards the ancestral hall next to him.

Isn't this Sister Xiangye, the maidservant who served my aunt? Could something have happened to my aunt?

"Sister Xiangye!"

When Xiangye was about to push the door anxiously, she heard a soft call from the side.

Xiang Ye's eyes lit up instantly, she lifted her skirt and ran over quickly. She pushed Wen Xi into the room with both hands and quickly closed the door behind her.

"Fourth Miss, are you okay? Aunt Mao was so worried about you. She spent almost the entire night guarding the courtyard gate."

If regaining a life makes me happy, then Aunt Mao's love for the original owner makes me yearn for it even more.

Although Aunt Mao gave birth to another son later, her love for the original owner never diminished.

The memory always contains a gentle look in her eyes, a mother's love that I have never experienced before. If this is God's arrangement, it is so lovely!

"Sister Xiangye, I'm fine. There was a sudden commotion outside just now, and the ancestral hall guard asked me to stay here first. She went to the inner courtyard to ask for instructions from my stepmother."

"By the way, what happened outside? Why are there so many soldiers?"

Xiang Ye touched Wen Xi's hair and sighed:

"I'm afraid the Gu Mansion is doomed. I heard something on the way here. It seems they're going to confiscate the property. I need to find out the details. It's a mess outside right now, and I guess no one will come to take care of you! You should hurry back to Hexi Garden now. Your aunt is waiting for you!"

Wen Xi frowned: "Then Sister Xiangye won't go back?"

Xiangye shook her head:

"I'll go get more information quickly so that if anything happens, we can be prepared."

Xiang Ye saw Wen Xi nod and hurried out.

As he walked, he turned back, wanting to say something but stopping himself. In the end, it all turned into a forced smile. He bowed to Wen Xi and walked away resolutely.

Wen Xi couldn't describe her inner feelings, bitterness or touching.
