Then, she suddenly realized that a pink, square object had appeared in her mind, just like... the kind of memo paper she had seen in her future life, with lines drawn on it...
Then……
She then noticed a line of text: "That bump just now really hurt! Ouch!"
Xiao You Ran: ……
What?! Wasn't that what she just thought to herself?
So, has the legendary cheat code of time travelers finally appeared?
She became excited.
But what use is such a piece of paper?
The note disappeared from sight very quickly.
At that moment, she strangely felt something appear in the palm of her right hand.
Yunnan Baiyao Ointment?
She stared at the thing in astonishment.
She had seen this thing before. When she wandered into the future, she spent decades in a hospital that combined traditional Chinese and Western medicine, and saw countless doctors in every department who treated her...
This medicine...
She couldn't help but look down at her elbow, which she had just injured. Could it be... the one she used to wipe it?
So, you don't need to open this space. Just silently recite a sentence on the note, and it will deliver the medicine by itself.
She became instantly excited and silently recited several medicine names she remembered, but the bracelet did not react, and the note disappeared.
She poked it again with her finger, but apart from a faint glow where her fingertip touched, there was still no reaction.
Well… she shrugged and examined the Yunnan Baiyao ointment box from all angles, but there was no production date at all.
So, now that I've been reborn, even time seems to have given me a hard time?
They were afraid of revealing which era it came from.
She opened the lid, stretched out her arm, and applied a little with her fingertip. It felt so cool and so real.
Most importantly, she could smell a strong medicinal aroma in her nose.
Her eyes suddenly reddened. It was real, it was all real, she had really been reborn as a human.
For thousands of years as a ghost, she had no sense of smell or taste.
Feeling cool and comfortable, Xiaoyou leaned back on the bed and slowly closed her eyes.
The lump on the back of her head began to throb faintly. Slowly, during this brief moment of rest with her eyes closed, she reviewed everything that happened in her previous life as if in a dream.
When Su Yue woke her up, she opened her dazed eyes and once again felt as if she were in a dream.
Su Yue helped her sit up. "Miss, everything is ready on Madam's side. We can go now."
Xiao Youran hummed twice, hid the ointment in her palm, let Su Yue change her into outdoor shoes, and then took Su Yue's hand and left the room.
With Zhao Mama and Jiang Youchen supporting her on either side, Madam Su walked out, coughing lightly every now and then.
Xiao Youran remembered the bracelet on her left wrist, and a thought struck her.
I wonder if this space could provide her with a box of cough syrup and some cold medicine?
As the group walked outside the courtyard, they saw people coming and going in a hurry.
When Wang Mama and Hongyu saw the group, they came forward to greet them. "Grandma, the Madam is currently checking the records from the Old Madam's side with the Minister of Justice and cannot leave yet. The Third Young Master is already waiting outside the Second Gate."
Ms. Su nodded to the two of them, "Thank you for your trouble."
Granny Wang represents the aunt, and Hongyu represents the Lady of the Marquis, which shows how much they value her, so she naturally has to treat them with courtesy.
The two men repeatedly said they dared not, though they were already filled with gratitude. But now that they were surrounded by city guards, they dared not say anything more.
The passing soldiers carried, moved, and shouted as they went.
Xiao Youran saw a soldier who looked like a leader from afar; he seemed somewhat familiar.
Granny Wang and Hongyu were heartbroken. So many valuable items originally belonged to the Marquis's mansion, and in one fell swoop, they were all confiscated...
As the group walked to the second gate, they saw a young boy wiping away tears—the ten-year-old third young master of the Marquis's main branch, Yun Tiankuang, standing by the gate leading to the main entrance.
Just now, he witnessed his second uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle and his twelve-year-old second brother Yun Tianbai being taken away together.
The eldest brother, Yun Tianbai, was already on the northern battlefield with their father, and may have already been captured by imperial decree and exiled together.
He was just half a month shy of his tenth birthday this year, and barely escaped this disaster.
In just one hour, he felt as if the eaves that had been covering his head had suddenly collapsed. He had no idea what kind of sky was outside or what kind of future awaited him.
Footsteps sounded behind him, along with Granny Wang's greeting, "Greetings to the Third Young Master."
He quickly wiped away his tears and forced a smile, saying, "There's no such thing as a young master now, please don't stand on ceremony, Granny."
He greeted the Su family members, "Aunt, cousin, cousin, I just made sure Uncle Fu and the others helped load your things onto the cart. The officials from the Ministry of Justice have also checked them, and there's nothing from the Yun family."
Uncle Fu was the family's steward. Although he had signed a contract of servitude, he knew he couldn't just leave, so he asked a few servants to stay and help temporarily.
Madam Su nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, Kuang-ge'er."
She turned to Wang Mama and asked, "My health isn't good, and I can't leave the capital and return to Dingzhou immediately. I'm afraid I'll have to find an inn to stay at for a few days. I wonder which inn in the capital is spacious and comfortable?"
Granny Wang knew that this was telling her where the three of them should stay. She suppressed the tears welling up in her eyes and said, "There is a Xilai Inn, about twenty feet south of East Street. You can stay here for now and take good care of yourself."
Madam Su nodded, then led Xiao Youran and her brother out the door and boarded the carriage.
The carriage gradually disappeared into the distance, leaving Yun Tiankuang and the other two with reluctant gazes.
Xiao Youran kept peering out of the car door. The shops and tavern flags along the street all told her that she was back.
We returned to the sixteenth year of the Shunqing reign of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
...
In the Yun family mansion, the women of the second, third, and fourth branches of the family were ready to leave. However, when they saw the devastation before them and thought of their sons and husbands who had been taken away, they were overcome with grief and wept bitterly inside the hanging flower gate in the backyard.
The more I cry, the sadder I become.
Inside the house, Zhou felt heartbroken as she watched everything being cataloged, realizing she couldn't take anything with her. She regretted not having sent Jiang and her brother first. Meanwhile, she listened to the wailing and crying outside, her heart filled with worry for her husband and fourteen-year-old son far away in the north.
Although she doesn't have to endure the immediate pain of separation like the other three wives, her husband is suspected of treason, and her son, who is in the army, will inevitably be arrested and exiled to Ningguta. They, including her second uncle Yunzhao, who is also a military officer, are being taken away from the army and may face the furious curses and retaliation of their colleagues; who knows what suffering they will endure.
