Luo Lan felt that she was the most miserable time traveler in history!
At this moment, she was sitting by the Wei River, which had taken the original owner's life. In this late autumn weather, she was shivering from the cold after just getting wet. Thinking back to the inhuman treatment the original owner had suffered, she was horrified.
The original owner, Shui Luolan, was seventeen years old this year. Seventeen years ago, her uncle picked her up in swaddling clothes on the way to the mountains to chop firewood. Seeing that she looked pitiful, he kept her. However, after her younger sister Shui Chunhua was born, her aunt began to dislike her.
Ever since she could remember, she could only eat the leftovers of her family, and she was the one who did all the laundry and cooking. Her sister, who was one year younger than her, could go to school to learn to read, but she could only carry a bamboo basket and go up the mountain to collect grass for pigs at dawn.
Even though she worked hard, her aunt still didn't like her.
Just yesterday, for some reason, her aunt suddenly became nice to her. Not only did she buy her a new set of clothes, but she also bought her rouge and powder. For seventeen years, the skinny girl had been wearing her sister's old clothes. It was the first time she wore new clothes, and she was so happy that her aunt kept praising her.
Thinking of that scene, Luo Lan's nose felt sore and tears fell.
"Lan'er, why didn't your aunt notice it earlier? You are so beautiful. If you get married, you will definitely have a happy life."
It was the first time that Luo Lan was praised like this by her aunt. She was so happy that she couldn't help herself. She even felt that her aunt was so good to her and her future life would be very sweet.
In the evening, she took off the new clothes her aunt bought for her, put them away, changed into her own work clothes, and prepared to boil water for her aunt to wash her feet, which was her daily routine.
When she passed by her aunt's room, she heard the conversation between her uncle and her aunt.
"No." Uncle's voice suddenly rose.
For some unknown reason, she felt that this must be related to her, so she squatted at the door and eavesdropped.
His aunt interrupted him with a hiss, "Could you please keep your voice down? We've raised her for seventeen years, it's time for her to contribute something to the family."
"That prince is about to die. If you let Lan'er marry him, you're sending her to her death."
"The prince won't necessarily die right away. If she marries him, she'll be his principal wife. Besides, that's one thousand taels of silver, enough for our family to spend for half a lifetime."
"If I say no, then it's no. Why don't you let Chunhua go? I'm telling you, if you have any ideas about Lan'er again, I'll beat you up."
After saying this, my uncle walked towards the door with heavy steps.
Luo Lan was afraid that her uncle would find out that she was eavesdropping, so she trotted back to the woodshed where she had lived for more than ten years.
Sitting on her wooden bed, she burst into tears. It turned out that there was a reason why her aunt suddenly treated her well. She had heard before that there was a prince in the capital who was seriously ill and would not live long, so his mother, Concubine Chang, wanted to find him a wife before he died. Of course, according to the rules of Daning Kingdom, after the prince's death, the newly married princess had to be buried with him.
Naturally, the daughters of officials would not do such a thing, so Concubine Chang ordered the posting of an imperial decree, seeking anyone in the capital and nearby countryside who was willing to send their daughters to the prince's palace, offering a reward of one thousand taels of silver.
Although the prince's status is noble, no parent would want to let their daughter die. The imperial edict has been posted for almost a month. Although several women who are greedy for fame and fortune have visited the prince's palace, for some reason, they all regretted it after entering the palace, so the imperial edict is still there and no one has uncovered it.
Yesterday, Luo Lan's aunt went to the city to sell eggs and heard about this, so she came up with the idea of sending Luo Lan there.
The original owner, Luo Lan, sat in the woodshed all night. Thinking about being buried with a dying man, he felt hopeless and began to think that it would be better to die quickly.
Early the next morning, while everyone was still asleep, she jumped into the bottomless Wei River wearing her new dress.
At this time, Luo Lan, who was born in the 25th century, died suddenly after working in the laboratory for three consecutive days and three nights. His soul attached itself to the dead Luo Lan in Daning Kingdom.
Fortunately, she can swim, otherwise she would have drowned after traveling through time.
Sitting on the river bank, she gently stroked the wounds on her body, feeling a pang of pain in her heart.
These were all secretly pricked by the original owner's aunt with needles when the uncle was not around, and some were beaten with wooden sticks. The aunt always said that she was stealing food to eat, but in fact it was because she had stomach problems from eating cold food all year round. She wanted to go to the kitchen to boil some hot water to drink at night, but her aunt misunderstood that she was stealing food.
The original owner had developed a cowardly personality over the years, so even when her aunt beat her, she didn't explain or resist, and just let her aunt whip her...
After learning all this, she couldn't help but mutter to herself,
"Alas, I was born at the wrong time. In my previous life, I was a medical genius that everyone admired. In this life, I turned into a poor girl covered in wounds, without even a bottle of red cream."
The red cream was an ointment she invented in her previous life. It was very effective for this kind of skin injury, so at this moment, she especially missed her red cream.
As soon as she finished speaking, a silver circle of light suddenly appeared before her eyes. She looked at it in surprise. Inside was her previous life's laboratory, an operating room, and various ointments, pills, potions, and advanced medical equipment she had invented...
Oh my God!
Seeing these, she was actually a little excited. It seemed that God was kind to her, and she actually brought all the fruits of her labor in her previous life here.
With these things, she can live a prosperous life in this world.
Just as she was about to apply ointment to her wound, she heard someone calling her.
"Lan'er...Lan'er..."
