In her previous life, Lin Wanqing was a nurse in the intensive care unit. While on night shift, she played video games and failed to make rounds on time as required. She was unable to promptly detect the patient's deteriorating condition and notify the doctor for treatment, which led to the patient's death.
When her family came to the hospital to demand an explanation, Lin Wanqing refused to admit any wrongdoing: "It's clearly because your health is poor and you can't handle it, yet you try to shift the blame onto me. This is extortion. I'm only being kind by not suing you."
One sentence immediately angered the patient's family, and the patient's wife bumped into Lin Wanqing.
Lin Wanqing was suddenly bumped, lost her balance, and fell, hitting her temple on the corner of the iron cabinet. When she woke up again, she was a three-year-old girl in Bali Village who was neither loved by her father nor her mother.
Lin Wanqing poured Cai Fanzhou another cup of tea, her voice gentle: "Master, it's already 5 PM, should we continue waiting?"
Cai Fanzhou had also drunk a lot of tea and was somewhat dissatisfied. Many high-ranking officials and nobles had come to him for medical treatment, and they had all waited respectfully in advance. Unlike today, he had been waiting all day without seeing anyone.
But considering that the other party was the Regent, someone no one in the entire Great Chu Kingdom dared to offend, they had to suppress their resentment no matter how great it was in their hearts.
Just then, there was a knock on the door of the private room, and a servant entered, bowing and saying, "Dr. Cai, the Prince is not coming today. Please make another trip tomorrow."
After saying this, the servant took his leave before Cai Fanzhou could ask any questions.
Cai Fanzhou stood up with a livid face: "Let's go!"
Lin Wanqing also felt regretful that she had not met the legendary God of War of the Great Chu Kingdom.
But it's okay, I can come again tomorrow, I'll see you eventually.
If the regent of the Great Chu Kingdom was truly as handsome as rumored, she believed that with her modern wisdom and unique charm, she would definitely attract his attention and win him over sooner or later, and even make him promise to marry only her for the rest of his life.
Wasn't that how it was written in all those time-travel novels I read in my past life? One life, one love, one partner.
How could I, a living, breathing human being, possibly live a worse life than the characters in novels after being reborn?
In her past life, she was just an ordinary nurse, earning a meager monthly salary. She couldn't even afford her favorite Hermes bag, and she had to take care of critically ill patients' eating, drinking, and toileting needs. She did the dirtiest, hardest, and most tiring work, squeezed onto the most crowded subway to and from get off work, and lived in a small single room without windows.
In this life, as long as she can become the Regent's Consort, forget Hermes, the entire Great Chu Kingdom will be hers.
Thinking of this, Lin Wanqing was somewhat excited, as if she could already see herself standing at the peak, with all the subjects of the Great Chu Kingdom kneeling and submitting to her as the Regent Princess.
"Qing'er, let's come again tomorrow." Cai Fanzhou, unaware of what Lin Wanqing was thinking, simply gave her this instruction.
Cai Fanzhou took Lin Wanqing, the only daughter of the prefect, as his apprentice mainly out of respect for the prefect; he did not really expect her to learn anything.
"Yes, Master," Lin Wanqing replied gently, and obediently followed him away.
Tomorrow, she must see the Regent!

Su Ruojin returned to Mu'an Village, handed over the peach blossom wine made by Old Madam Lin to the master chef, and then left the wooden house and headed east of the village. She arrived at a courtyard and knocked on the gate.
A moment later, a strong-looking middle-aged man opened the door. He had been looking wary, but when he saw Su Ruojin, he smiled and said, "Miss Su, you're here! Please come in. My husband has been thinking of you a lot."
Su Ruojin handed over the liquor in her hand: "Uncle Wang, this is liquor I brought you from Zhang's liquor shop, the one you like to drink the most."
