Prime Minister's Residence in the Capital of Chu Yun Kingdom
"Miss, you've gotten into trouble again."
"And this time, the trouble they caused included both big and small incidents!"
Which one would you like to hear first?
"The little one."
"Yesterday, you got drunk at the restaurant and overturned Zhang Lei's table."
Yu Zhizhi nodded.
It was just a minor mishap, nothing serious.
"I haven't finished yet! Their table was full of top-quality delicacies, worth several hundred taels of silver, and they didn't even have a chance to taste it before you overturned the table."
"Zhang Lei demanded that the woman compensate them for their losses."
Yu Zhizhi exclaimed in astonishment, "What? A table of dishes costs several hundred taels of silver!"
Isn't this a huge disaster?
At this moment, Yu Zhizhi felt her head buzzing and was in unbearable pain.
"Why didn't you stop me?" she asked her maid, Xiao Tao, rubbing her temples with a frustrated expression.
Xiao Tao replied with a pitiful expression, "I wanted to stop you too, but I just couldn't!"
Xiao Tao still felt lingering fear when she recalled the scene of the young lady getting drunk last time.
At that time, the young lady actually revealed to the madam that the master had been visiting brothels. As a result, the master's face was slapped by the madam until it was swollen like a pig's head.
It was later discovered that it was just a misunderstanding. The young lady was grounded for a full two weeks because of her drunken slip of the tongue.
Yu Zhizhi frowned: "What kind of big trouble did you cause?"
"You embraced the Sixth Prince in full view of everyone."
Upon hearing this news, Yu Zhizhi's heart sank, but she quickly felt relieved. After all, she had a modern way of thinking, and compared to the several hundred taels of silver she had just lost, hugging the Sixth Prince in a dazed state didn't seem like a big deal.
However, Xiao Tao's next words made Yu Zhizhi's expression turn serious.
"And you even called him an ugly monster, saying he deserves to be unwanted!"
"Sigh! This time we've completely offended this cold-blooded sixth prince," Xiao Tao said worriedly.
Yu Zhizhi looked bewildered and asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
Seeing that Yu Zhizhi's voice was hoarse, Xiao Tao picked up the teacup on the table, blew on it a few times, and handed it to her.
Yu Zhizhi took the teacup, tilted her head back, and drank it all in one gulp.
After putting down the cup, Xiao Tao replied, "Miss, do you really not remember? Five years ago, the Sixth Prince went to war and was slashed on the right cheek by the enemy's sword, which disfigured him."
"It is said that the scar on his face frightened children."
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhizhi couldn't help but exclaim, "Is it that serious?"
Xiao Tao nodded and added, "Since then, the Sixth Prince has always worn a mask whenever he goes out, and he is extremely averse to others mentioning his face."
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhizhi couldn't help but slap her forehead, muttering to herself, "It's over! It's over!"
The original owner went too far. Even if he was drunk, he shouldn't have called people ugly monsters!
This person's drinking etiquette is terrible!
She sighed helplessly, thinking to herself that she had really gotten herself into big trouble.
"I want to be alone!" Yu Zhizhi said weakly.
"Okay," Xiao Tao replied, then turned and left the room.
Yu Zhizhi lay on the bed, staring at the bed curtains, feeling somewhat agitated. She glanced once more at the antique-style room, touched the silk quilt covering her, and slowly began to accept the fact that her soul had transmigrated here.
What a terrible thing!
In modern times, she is also called Yu Zhizhi. During a dinner with her colleagues, she lost badly in a game and was forced to drink a lot of liquor. After her eyes closed due to alcohol poisoning, she opened them again and found herself in a fictional dynasty—Chu Yun Kingdom—and possessed the body of the original owner who shared the same name as her.
Even more coincidentally, both of them died from alcohol poisoning!
After receiving most of the original owner's memories, Yu Zhizhi couldn't help but swear a few times.
"Damn it..."
It turns out that the original owner of this body relied on her status as the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's family. She was spoiled by her family from a young age, which fostered her spoiled, willful, arrogant and domineering personality. She caused trouble everywhere.
Moreover, she was completely ignorant of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. If it weren't for her noble status, she would have been despised by other young masters and ladies of noble families long ago.
I lay there in a daze for half an hour.
At this moment, Xiao Tao hurriedly entered the room, her face tense. "Miss, Master and Madam want to see you in the main hall."
Yu Zhizhi asked in confusion, "What happened?"
Xiao Tao quickly shook her head, "I don't know."
Yu Zhizhi didn't ask any further questions and got up to follow Xiao Tao to the main hall. Along the way, Yu Zhizhi noticed that Xiao Tao seemed a little absent-minded and almost tripped while walking.
"Xiao Tao, are you hiding something from me?" Yu Zhizhi asked softly.
Xiao Tao shook her head in a panic, "No."
She didn't dare tell the truth; she had just seen a woman about the same age as the young lady in the main hall.
Moreover, the master and his family treated her extremely well.
Meanwhile, the main hall was filled with joy and laughter. The Prime Minister's wife held her own daughter's hand tightly, her eyes slightly moist, and exclaimed excitedly, "So alike! She looks exactly like her husband!"
The Prime Minister smiled and chimed in, "It's normal for a daughter to resemble her father, but this daughter's demeanor is more like that of the Madam."
The eldest son, Yu Zhaolin, and the third son, Yu Wenlin, exchanged a glance and shook their heads with smiles.
When Yu Zhizhi entered the main hall, she saw this heartwarming scene.
The Prime Minister looked at Yu Zhizhi standing calmly and felt that she was somewhat different from before, but when he recalled what happened yesterday, he was furious.
He strode up to her and angrily rebuked her, "You've almost completely disgraced our Prime Minister's Mansion! And now you've even provoked the Sixth Prince! You...you rebellious daughter!"
The Prime Minister's wife stood aside, coldly watching Yu Zhizhi, and echoed, "Master is right! Zhizhi, we are so disappointed in you. Yesterday, Master and I already gave you a chance."
“If you had stayed quietly in the Prime Minister’s residence and learned the rules properly, and had not gone out to cause trouble, we could have raised you as our goddaughter and prepared a generous dowry for you when you got married. But it seems that you are still a dog that can’t change its nature.”
Upon hearing these words, Yu Zhizhi frowned slightly, and suddenly some images flashed through her mind.
It turns out that the original owner already knew yesterday that she was not the prime minister's biological daughter, which is why she went to the restaurant and got drunk.
No wonder!
In the past, they would have immediately cared about her health and asked if she was feeling unwell, instead of scolding her and showing a completely different attitude like they do now.
Wasn't the reason the original owner developed such an arrogant and domineering personality because of their long-term indulgence?
Even if the original owner was wrong, they couldn't escape the consequences.
Now that they've discovered the original owner wasn't their biological child, they've started blaming her.
Yu Zhizhi ignored them and walked over to the woman, looking at her and asking, "Can I have a word with you alone?"
