Chapter 3 The Mountain Backs Collapse



Li Baobei was just thinking about how to survive in this society when a group of people came in from outside.

The first to enter was a very noble-looking lady, whose elegance and grace could be described as dignified and luxurious. Her face was exquisite, adorned with colorful embroidery, and she resembled a fairy princess. She had almond-shaped eyes, willow-leaf eyebrows, a full figure, and a rosy complexion that exuded a spring-like aura without revealing her power.

"Nannan, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Tell your mother quickly, and we will call the imperial physician immediately if you feel unwell."

Looking at the woman in front of her, Li Baobei could clearly see the panic on her face and her slightly red eyes, as if she had been crying.

This must be the original owner's mother! So nice~

She replied weakly, "Mother, I'm fine, I'm much better now."

Li's mother secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued lovingly, "It's good that you're alright. You've been exposed to cold, so you need to rest and recuperate."

"Um."

Seeing that her mother's complexion had improved slightly, Li Baobei's anxiety subsided somewhat.

Fortunately, nothing unusual was found.

A moment later, another person entered from outside. He was imposing and handsome, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. His eyebrows were thick and dark, and his chest was broad. He had the aura of someone who could not be defeated by ten thousand men. He truly had the demeanor of a prime minister. This person should be the original owner's father, Li Hong.

Mr. Li asked gently, "Are you feeling much better?"

"Thank you, Father. I'm much better now."

Li Baobei looked at the two people in front of her and thought, "How nice! They both care about me."

"Then get some rest. Don't be so reckless in the future." After saying that, Li Hong turned and walked out. Li's mother stayed with her for a while and then left as well.

Only Bizhu and herself remained in the room, and Li Baobei suddenly felt very hungry.

"Go get me something to eat! I'm so hungry!"

"This servant will bring the meal immediately." After saying this, Bizhu quickly turned around and walked out.

"Small town, small town."

System: What can I do for you, host?

Li Baobei: I want to ask, I have already taken over the original owner's body, so where did the original owner's soul go?

System: I don't know.

Li Baobei: Is it possible for the original owner's soul to return again?

System: There's a 99% chance it won't happen, because you arrived in this body just as the original owner was passing away, which means the original owner has already died.

From what I understand, the original owner's death was not an accident, so you can find the murderer who harmed her and avenge her. Perhaps then she can rest in peace.

Li Baobei: Oh! Murder! How terrifying! Is there any clue? I want to know who the snake is, otherwise what if I get ambushed again down there?

System: We are not entirely sure either, so the host needs to find out the truth on their own.

"That's so useless."

Li Baobei thought to herself, "Forget it, relying on mountains will crumble and rivers will flow away. I might as well rely on myself and take it one step at a time!"

Bizhu brought over some light snacks: a bowl of white porridge and a bowl of light side dishes.

The food looked unappetizing, but Li Baobei ate it with gusto because she was so hungry.

Delicious food, there's plenty of time!

"Bizhu, have I offended anyone in the past? Did you see how I fell into the water?"

"Miss, you are the third legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's mansion, of noble status. There is no question of offending you. But this servant truly did not see how you fell into the water."

At that time, you asked me to fetch some food, and you and the Fourth Miss were enjoying the cool air in the pavilion. When I returned, you had already fallen into the water. The Fourth Miss was shouting by the pond, saying that you had accidentally fallen in.

"I see."

Oh~

At that time, there was only the Fourth Miss, who was my fourth younger sister in the original body.

Since she didn't fall on her own, the fourth sister is definitely not the murderer, or she must have witnessed the crime scene.

Ha! What demons and monsters, I'll make you all slowly reveal your true forms.

Li Baobei chewed the cold dish in her mouth hard, as if she were chewing up the bad guy as well.
