When Pei Zhi regained consciousness, she was in an antique-style room.
【system? 】
Pei Zhi called out twice, but the system didn't respond at all.
Without thinking twice, Pei Zhi hurriedly lifted the blanket and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there was no man beside her.
Then, without even putting on his shoes, he rushed outside.
Because there was no system, Pei Zhi had no idea what situation she was facing.
But based on her previous experiences, Pei Zhi knew that nothing good was coming.
Pei Zhi planned to find a secluded place to hide and wait for the system to come online.
As soon as the door to the side room was opened, the maidservant guarding the door fell to the ground.
The two maids were momentarily confused, then immediately knelt down to greet her: "Greetings, Miss."
Pei Zhi looked outside and saw that the sky was still dark, making her even more confused.
It was still dark, and there was no sound outside. It seemed that nothing serious should have happened.
Something's not right, something's really not right.
"Why aren't you wearing shoes, Miss? Do you need to get up at night?"
The maidservant hurriedly went to fetch Pei Zhi's embroidered shoes and helped her put them on.
Pei Zhi observed her surroundings, vaguely recalling some memories.
Pei Zhi has completed too many missions; it's impossible for her to remember every world in such detail.
"Has anything major happened in the manor recently?"
The two maids exchanged a glance. "Recently, the manor has been busy with the engagement between the eldest young lady and the second prince."
Pei Zhi vaguely remembered something: "I understand, you may leave."
The two maids quickly bowed, then closed the door to the room and continued to stand guard outside.
Pei Zhi, wearing shoes, paced back and forth in the side room.
Pei Zhi tapped her head with her fingers, and could still vaguely remember some memories about this world.
The original owner of this body was the daughter of a pig butcher.
People in ancient times always thought about continuing their family line.
The original owner only had one daughter, but the father was unwilling to give up and spent the money he earned on other women.
Later, he contracted a disease and died.
To support her family, the original owner's mother picked up a butcher's knife and took up the mantle of supporting them.
The original owner probably witnessed what happened to her parents and had a wish since childhood: to be with one person for life.
The original owner of this body died in an accident, so Pei Zhi came to live with her.
Not long after Pei Zhi arrived, the original owner's mother also fell ill.
In her early years, the original owner of this body had taken a lot of random drugs in order to have another child for her husband.
She tried countless folk remedies, and because she could no longer have children, she was often beaten by her husband.
After her husband's death, the original owner of this body held on for two years, but her body was already at its limit.
Pei Zhidian pawned the family's valuables to pay for the original owner's mother's medical treatment, but ultimately the medical technology was too outdated, and she still passed away.
Pei Zhi held a funeral for him, and then picked up a butcher knife.
Pei Zhi had no intention of using the memories in her mind to go into business or to make a name for herself through her talent.
She has no one to rely on in this world.
Even if you succeed in business, let alone lack capital, you'll be crushed by those in power and influence.
As for her talent, anyone who investigates will find that she is just the daughter of a pig butcher and has not had much schooling.
That's too shocking; I bet someone will mistake it for a monster and arrest it.
Moreover, the original owner of this body was a woman, and no matter how talented she was, she could not participate in the imperial examinations or become an official.
Pei Zhi planned to slaughter pigs for two years, earn some money, find a reliable man, get married, and then live a life of monogamy with him.
Pei Zhi has found a target and made an appointment with someone. They will get married after the mourning period is over.
Who knew that one day, Pei Zhi's courtyard would be surrounded by a group of guards.
She was then taken to the Duke's mansion.
Pei Zhi then realized that the original owner of this body was actually the real daughter of the Duke's mansion.
When Pei's mother was pregnant with the original body, she went to a temple to pray for blessings, and then gave birth in a heavy rain.
After giving birth, she rested at a temple because the road was slippery.
The original owner's butcher mother spent some money to have the wet nurse switch the original owner with her daughter.
Pei's mother was born prematurely, and because she lived in a temple, she didn't have many people to serve her.
There was only one wet nurse taking care of the baby.
Because she couldn't properly recover after childbirth, Pei's mother scolded the wet nurse.
The wet nurse, who also harbored resentment, hit it off with the original owner's butcher, getting the money and getting back at Pei's mother.
The baby has just been born and changes every day.
Because she gave birth prematurely, Pei's mother was physically weak and barely had time to take care of herself, so she didn't realize that her daughter had been switched.
Even after Pei Yin grew up, she didn't resemble her elders at all.
His appearance was also somewhat unremarkable.
It should be noted that both of Pei's parents were famously beautiful.
To save the sow-killing woman, Pei Zhi pawned many things from her home, including a jade pendant.
It was because of this jade pendant that the Pei family started investigating, which led to Pei Zhi being approached by people from the Pei family.
Upon seeing Pei Zhi, Pei's mother instantly realized that this was indeed her daughter.
Then, Pei Zhi naturally became the second young lady of the Duke's mansion.
The official explanation given was that he was unwell in Beijing's climate in his early years and was raised by his maternal grandparents.
Pei Zhi also went from being a pig butcher to the second young lady of the Duke's mansion.
After Pei Zhi became the second young lady of the Duke's mansion, her life naturally became much better.
No more getting up early and working late to slaughter pigs and sell pork; there are people to take care of you now.
She didn't need to attend any banquets, probably because the Duke's family was afraid she would embarrass herself.
Pei Zhi still remembered the original owner's wish: to be with one person for life.
