What's going on?
How come I found myself in a scene of violence the moment I stepped into this place?
The women's sharp rebukes echoed in Tongsu's ears.
"You and the adults aren't related by blood. To put it nicely, you're step-siblings; to put it bluntly, you're just a burden your mother brought in! Daring to climb into the adults' bed, you really are a little slut!"
The original owner's consciousness hadn't completely dissipated, and she could still barely control her body. With all her remaining strength, she weakly cried out, "Bai Shu wouldn't dare! I'm innocent! I could never have had any improper thoughts towards my brother..."
The crowd grew even angrier: "She still dares to say she didn't! That slut is a liar, beat her to death!"
"The government is merciful, only sending you to the estate to reflect on your actions, but we can't let you off so easily. If we don't teach you a lesson, you'll never learn!"
"If it weren't for the eldest young lady's insistence on protecting you, you would have been kicked out of the manor long ago!"
Tongsu barely opened her eyes and saw that she was surrounded by maids and servants wearing padded jackets and long skirts. Countless punches and kicks landed on her body, beating her mercilessly.
Atractylodes macrocephala?
This name sounds so familiar!
The women's eyes were filled with condescending malice as they grabbed Tongsu by the collar and dragged her up, saying, "You bitch, do you admit your mistake?"
Tong Su struggled to open her eyes. The original owner's despair and grievances still seemed to linger in her mind. She scanned the crowd one by one, memorizing their appearances. Her lips moved slightly, and she firmly uttered two words.
"No, I don't believe it!"
"You won't admit it? You actually won't admit the mistake you made? You're asking for a beating!"
More punches and kicks rained down. Tong Su was furious, but surrounded by people, she was completely unable to struggle and escape.
Without hesitation, she curled up on the ground to protect her head, gritting her teeth with unwavering determination, refusing to utter a single word of surrender.
After an unknown amount of time, the men got tired, finally kicked her to the ground, and then stopped with a cold snort.
"You're not the second young lady of the Grand Tutor's mansion anymore. Spend the night in the woodshed reflecting on your actions. You lowly wretch, you're disgusting!"
The woodshed door was slammed shut and locked with a clang. The women laughed and dispersed.
Tongsu gritted her teeth, propped herself up on her shaky arms, and moved stones to firmly block the door of the woodshed.
The stone walls were thick, but had many gaps. There were no windows, only a door that could be pushed inwards.
The original body's consciousness was slowly dissipating, while Tong Su's soul and body were gradually merging.
She could faintly hear the original owner's last plea to her: "Please... help me... clear my name... take good care of my brother..."
elder brother?
Tong Su felt a sharp pain in her head as a large amount of data was input into her consciousness. She flipped through it and couldn't help but frown.
What a coincidence!
She has arrived in an ancient world, and coincidentally, she had studied this period of history in detail in her previous life:
The Great Kang Dynasty, the era in which Xiao Lingchen seized power and usurped the throne.
She actually traveled to the historical period that inspired the novel "Chaotianzi"?
That year, Xiao Lingchen, the rebellious minister who would one day usurp the throne, was just twenty-six years old, yet he had already revealed his wolfish ambition to wield immense power and aim for the imperial throne.
The original body she possessed was precisely the character she had played:
Xiao Lingchen will enter the palace as the Empress's stepsister, Xiao Baishu.
Tong Su continued reading the materials, her brows furrowing deeper with each reading.
System 666 sent itself to this world because chaos had broken out there, causing the plot to deviate from the normal historical trajectory.
Xiao Qingwan, Xiao Lingchen's other stepsister and a sibling of Xiao Baishu, will be expelled from the Xiao family mansion, degraded into a dancer, and become the deposed emperor's plaything.
I've been reborn!
