Although Bai Chongjiang knew nothing about the reason, her keen intuition told her that there was no reason for the weasel to wish her a Happy New Year, and that the First Madam probably did not have any good intentions.
One obvious improvement is that her diet has been greatly enhanced. Every meal is a delicacy, with plenty of fatty fish and meat. In fact, late at night, someone will even bring her a high-calorie late-night snack.
"What kind of medicine is Zhang up to?"
She looked at her dinner and muttered to herself.
The two maids beside her didn't dare say anything, they just kept urging her to eat more so she could grow stronger.
During the day, tailors would often come to take her measurements, make her shoes with hidden heels, and give her medicinal baths.
"There's a conspiracy, there's definitely a conspiracy."
Having done nothing wrong, it's impossible for Zhang to suddenly have a change of heart and decide to start anew.
If there's no ghost involved, then her name should be written backwards!
"However... Jiang Chongbai seems quite good as well."
She tried to find a bit of humor in her bitterness. Although she had nothing to rely on now, she had transmigrated here and experienced so much, and she knew long ago that there were things in this world more precious than life itself.
Regarding Zhang's conspiracy, A-Jiang also had her own guesses, just like what the master had said at the beginning—her marriage.
Bai Chongjiang, observing the recent commotion in the mansion and listening to the whispers and murmurs, solidified her resolve.
"My marriage has been arranged? And it's closely related to this First Madam."
Bai Chongjiang felt that the Taoist academy's holiday was ill-timed, and wondered why he had encountered such a situation.
To have to face all this at the age of junior high school is truly a cannibalistic feudal society. A stepmother is like a stepfather, and a child without a mother is like a blade of grass.
She looked in the mirror at her thin, small self, who looked to be less than ten years old. Calling her a little yellow-haired girl would not be an insult at all.
However, this was her improved state after training; when she first transmigrated, the original owner's physical condition was much worse.
This is likely due to congenital factors causing a deficiency in both qi and blood, which cannot be recovered in a short period of time.
“They’re a pair of snakes and rats in the same nest. If they’re determined to marry me off, there’s nothing I can do to resist.”
After some consideration, A-Jiang concluded that with his current cultivation level, it was absolutely impossible for him to successfully resist. If he were to seek outside help, the only person he knew in Tianyu City was Linglong, but there had been no news of her since she entered the palace, and he had no way to contact her.
Bai Chongjiang intensified her daily cultivation, and also looked for people in the manor she could win over.
After observing for several days, she took a liking to her grandmother, Ms. Luo.
In this era, there was no custom of paying respects to one's grandmother morning and evening as in ancient novels. Ah Jiang also maintained a low profile in the household, only going with everyone when they visited her together.
After observing her for a while, A-Jiang gradually came to understand the extraordinary nature of this old lady.
She appears to be an ordinary, kind, and loving woman who cherishes her children and grandchildren. However, through A-Jiang's inquiries, it is learned that she had cultivated in her youth and reached the mid-stage of Qi Refining, possessing extraordinary insight.
Throughout several major events in the family's history, the old lady always managed to make the wisest decisions for the family at crucial moments, demonstrating her intelligence, decisiveness, and compassionate heart.
Her prestige within the family grew daily, and she not only held a high position but also wielded significant decision-making power in family affairs.
In this family, if you were to ask who most wanted Bai Chongjiang to be well, it would undoubtedly be this old lady.
