Ruan Ruan could know her thoughts, but she couldn't tell the other person that she was the original owner, so she didn't need to feel guilty, as it was originally hers.
…
Wan Ge stayed in the mansion for a few more days. No matter what medicine she took or what acupuncture she did, she couldn't recall any of the original owner's memories. The imperial physician said that it might not be effective in a few days, and that she could only try again in half a month. If there was no progress, he would think of other methods.
However, she is physically fine now and can go out more often to see places she used to be familiar with; perhaps she can remember something.
So Wan Ge can go out for a walk as long as she takes her guards and maids with her, and she can go wherever she wants.
Upon hearing this news, Wan Ge naturally wanted to go out for a walk. After all, she had been in this world for quite some time and hadn't been out at all. She didn't know what this ancient world was like.
…
After going outside, Wan Ge felt that things were not quite the same as she had imagined.
The papermaking technology in this world seems to be quite advanced. Xuan paper, which is white, clean, and feels great to the touch, can be seen everywhere.
Moreover, she saw perfume and soap in some places, and hot pot in many inns. Could it be that there were already time travelers in this world besides her?
Wan Ge looked at the soap and realized that it wasn't as good as modern soaps, but it was still quite good. With such a masterful craftsmanship, it should be the best one that could be made here.
However, Wan Ge secretly inquired and found that this world did not have gunpowder or anything like that. Presumably, the time traveler did not know about that kind of knowledge, or even if he did know, he would not want to change the nature of war, so he had no intention of producing it.
However… after asking the maid, Wan Ge discovered that the perfumes, soaps, and the like were all owned by the Shen family, and now she controlled most of the shops.
Wan Ge's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the original owner was also a transmigrator? Or had she really lost her memory, and was she truly the original owner?
Wan Ge's feelings were particularly complicated. She thought about the inexplicable sense of familiarity she felt, felt sorry for Mu Yanxing, and had a genuine sense of closeness to her family...
Wan Ge began to doubt whether she was the original owner of the body. To be honest, she really hoped that she was the original owner, but she also wondered if she really was the original owner, then she must have already taken over someone else's life.
What was I thinking back then? If it really was me and I still chose to get married, then I suppose I no longer feel guilty.
However, she is currently unsure whether she is the original owner of this body. If she only has doubts, then there are certain bottom lines she must adhere to.
Moreover, what if the original owner was another transmigrator, perhaps just like me, who transmigrated from the modern world and also happened to know how to make perfume and soap? Wouldn't I still be taking away someone else's life?
…
After finishing her stroll, on her way home, Wan Ge suddenly came across a rather dilapidated mansion.
Wange stood at the door, looking at the decayed doorplate, and asked the maid beside her with some doubt, "Is this the Marquis's residence? Why is the signboard in such a state? And it doesn't look like anyone lives here."
The maid standing to the side didn't know how to explain to her mistress, after all, she had quite a deep connection with this Marquis's mansion.
"How are you feeling, Madam?" the maid asked tentatively, since Taiyi had said that letting her touch familiar things might help her regain her memories.
The lady is very familiar with this Marquis's residence; I wonder if she can recall anything.
Wan Ge frowned and replied, "I don't know, it just feels strangely familiar, but with a hint of disgust."
The maid patiently explained, "This mansion was originally the residence of the Marquis of Jing'an. The lady once married the heir of the Marquis of Jing'an."
"What! I've been married before? So I'm a second wife?" Wan Ge really didn't expect this. She never thought the original owner of this body was a second wife.
She remarried and married a powerful minister. Moreover, Mu Yanxing liked the original owner so much that he definitely wouldn't care about her past.
"Then my child can't be his, right?"
The maid nodded: "Don't worry, young master. He belongs to the prime minister. You and that scumbag never shared a room."
"Scumbag? You mean the young master? How could you call him a scumbag?"
The maidservant replied obediently, "It's because you call him that, Miss, that's what we call him too."
Hearing the maid's answer, Wan Ge felt even more strongly that even if she wasn't the original owner, the original owner must have transmigrated from the modern world.
Otherwise, how would they know the term "scumbag"?
"Oh, I see. Then tell me about my past with him." Wan Ge was indeed quite curious.
Even if I am not the original owner of this body, as a modern woman, the original owner should not have married a scumbag so easily. So what is the story behind this?
When the maid heard her ask that question, she continued to recount the original owner's past.
It turns out that the Jing'an Marquis's mansion had already begun to decline, and many aristocratic families in the capital city already regarded them as a second-rate family.
But all of this changed starting with the original owner and the crown prince.
Since returning to the capital, the original owner took the initiative to get to know the prince, finding him not only the best tutors but also the best masters to help him excel in both literature and martial arts.
The Marquis's family also thrived in the capital city thanks to their connection with the Marquis's family. The original owner of this body really liked him back then, so the two families arranged a marriage early on.
However, on the wedding day, the original owner discovered that the prince was actually a scumbag. He was unwilling to have marital relations with her, so the original owner investigated and found that he actually liked someone else.
She was definitely unwilling to accept that she had put in so much effort to make him the most outstanding scholar in the entire capital.
Therefore, the deal was made with Mu Yanxing, who had already established himself in the imperial court at the time.
The original owner wanted to make the Marquis's family pay the price and successfully divorce her. As for what kind of deal she made with Mu Yanxing, the maid didn't really know. She only knew that the two of them developed feelings for each other during the deal, and after the divorce, she married Mu Yanxing.
The song sounds like something out of a novel. Was the original owner's past really that dramatic? Or was my own past really that dramatic?
She thought that if she were the original owner of this body, she would have transmigrated on her wedding night, right? In the original story, the original owner was probably just a cannon fodder second female lead, and that prince was the male lead.
Then, once you are familiar with the plot, try to break free from it.
However, she didn't seem to remember it. She probably hadn't read the book. Perhaps she really wasn't the original owner of this body.
After all, you're from the same era as her. In this age of short videos, you can learn about things like soap making by watching a few videos.
She wasn't the only one who learned handicrafts in the orphanage.
…
After the maid finished speaking, she asked with a hint of anticipation, "Did you remember anything after hearing this, Miss?"
