Chapter 1 Time Travel
“She’s dead, second brother. You saw it yourself. I only gave her a light push. She bumped into it herself.”
"You've already received the compensation. Who told you to be so greedy and steal the jade she was wearing?"
"I only thought that the jade was of good quality and that I could exchange it for three or five hundred coins. Who knew that Lin Zhaozhao, who was easy to bully, would suddenly rebel."
"Alright, stop dawdling. Go get a doctor first. Tell everyone that Lin Zhaozhao couldn't bear the shock of Li Jue's death and fell and cracked her head when she fainted."
......
She heard clear voices and opened her eyes. She saw a dilapidated thatched hut and a table with a broken leg. A man and a woman were standing in front of the table. When they saw that she was awake, their panic was replaced by anger.
"Lin Zhaozhao, you little whore, how dare you play dead right under my nose!" The woman was a sharp-tongued old woman with triangular eyes and prominent cheekbones; when she got excited, she would spit out saliva.
Lin Zhaozhao rubbed her forehead. As the dizziness subsided, she found herself with a memory that wasn't hers.
This body shares the same name as her, Lin Zhaozhao. However, compared to her defiant and assertive nature, the Lin Zhaozhao of this era is meek, lacks assertiveness, and is easily manipulated by anyone.
The two people in the house were her mother-in-law, Xu Juanzi, and her brother-in-law, Li Zhong. Yesterday evening, news came from the town that her husband, Li Jue, had died in battle, and they also sent fifteen taels of compensation.
With outsiders present, Xu Juanzi and Li Zhong, even though they coveted the money, dared not make a move out of consideration for their reputation. But as soon as the outsiders left, the mother and son colluded and, under the guise of the Li family, forced the original owner to hand over the compensation money. The original owner was still immersed in the pain of her husband's death in battle, and handed over the compensation money without much persuasion.
But after receiving the compensation, the greedy Xu Juanzi set her sights on the jade pendant the original owner wore around her neck. When the original owner refused to give it to her, Xu Juanzi forcibly took it. During the struggle, the original owner's head hit the corner of the table. When she opened her eyes again, the body had been replaced by a different soul.
"Second sister, open the door, Mother and I have come to see you." A knock came from outside. Xu Juanzi and Li Zhong exchanged a glance and breathed a sigh of relief. Lin Zhaozhao saw this, propped herself up and ran outside.
She's not the pushover she used to be; everything she's taken from her has to be returned.
Xu Juanzi and Li Zhong only felt a gust of wind pass by, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Zhaozhao disappeared.
"Quickly grab her! If she runs out with her face covered in blood, what will the Lin family and outsiders think?" Li Jue had just died, and Lin Zhaozhao had almost lost her life. Outsiders would spread rumors that the Li family had forced Lin Zhaozhao to her death. Although that might be the truth, they couldn't let that fig leaf fall.
"Mother." Lin Zhaozhao opened the door and saw two burly men standing outside, one tall and one short. She almost choked, but she reacted in time and her slightly cracked voice immediately became heart-wrenching.
"Zhaobao, my dear Zhaobao, what happened to your head? Why are you bleeding so much?" Li Xiujuan was genuinely distressed. She held Lin Zhaozhao tightly, afraid of hurting her.
