Quick Transmigration: Always Just a Passerby

Chapter 299 Not Being a Stepmother in Ancient Times 2

The old woman claimed to have come with a distinguished person and declined to reveal her identity.

Hua Ziyuan naturally expressed her understanding.

This old woman looks like a ruthless character. It's best not to bother her too much. Her principle is: I won't offend others unless they offend me.

If someone offends me, I'll first assess their character. If they're not up to par, I'll resort to petty theft or other underhanded tactics to annoy them.

After all, her father was just an imperial censor.

I simply can't protect myself too much.

I just don't know who helped Yu Ping get on board.

Hua Ziyuan shifted her focus from her role as the old nanny and began to multitask, concentrating on worrying whether her daughter had been frightened.

Intermittent, less focused thinking.

Who was making such a ruckus at the flower-viewing banquet, inexplicably using their clueless daughter as a scapegoat?

Ge Yuping leaned against the small couch, pretending to doze off.

He only opened his eyes when he heard Hua Ziyuan's footsteps.

"Mommy, I feel so dizzy..."

Ge Yuping spoke softly, her phoenix eyes filled with grievance and lingering fear.

Hua Ziyuan was distressed to hear that her daughter was upset.

I immediately banished the images of grand scenes of disciplining my daughter from my mind.

It's not that it's impossible to teach a daughter.

But it certainly can't be now.

"Pingping, let Mom blow on it and rub it for you, don't be afraid."

"Okay, I'm not afraid."

Ge Yuping acted self-righteously, behaving like a spoiled little girl.

Hua Ziyuan coaxed her obedient daughter.

When I looked up, I noticed the old nanny gesturing towards me.

Hua Ziyuan had no choice but to reluctantly distance herself from Pingping.

Seeing that the mistress and young lady were satisfied, the maidservant stepped forward and made a whispering gesture again, but her voice was not so quiet, so that her gossipy young lady could have overheard.

"This old woman claimed her surname was Yi... She said someone below had informed her that the man in the teahouse was that infatuated Shuiyun..."

at the same time.

The original owner's husband from her previous life, Shuiyun, was truly unconscious.

Shuiyun had already guessed that he had probably been given some kind of spice, so he pinched his thigh hard and muttered several times with a blank expression, "My brother has raised two good sons."

Before he could decide whether or not to climb out of the tea room and leave...

The maid who had been frightened away by the old nanny was then restrained by the old nanny and forced into the tea room.

The maid's face showed a strange expression.

He was very forthcoming when it came to admitting his guilt.

Basically, they'll recognize anything they see, including if a young lady they've helped is taken away by an old nanny they don't know.

Shuiyun made another note of it in her mind.

My feelings for you are as clear as day and night, so why do people keep trying to destroy them?

Think of this.

Shuiyun felt downcast.

The system administrator, who was keeping a close eye on this old man's movements, went on a rampage in the system space: "Love-struck people are terrifying! Love-struck people are terrifying!"

Unaware that they were being secretly criticized.

Shuiyun suppressed her dizziness and got up, sending the trembling little maid to find her servant.

I will never let another woman ruin my reputation.

Otherwise, after I die, how will I have the face to go and find Qingqing and ask to rekindle our relationship?

Not the eldest brother.

No wonder you're not sad.

So that's where we were waiting to go down.

...

With the help of an old nanny.

Hua Ziyuan summoned two other maids and servants, and found a suitable place for Ge Yuping to wash and dress up. She couldn't suppress the anger she felt towards the Shui brothers.

Ge Yuping patted her small chest.

That's good.

With someone drawing away her mother's anger, she could finally relax for a while.

Mama's boys are nice, though.

But she loved freedom more.

Suddenly, Ge Yuping remembered the original owner's treacherous maid, who seemed to be splashing around in the pond in the small garden.

The reason why the personal maid betrayed her master was that the original owner was in pain because he was getting married and couldn't take care of her.

The reasons for betraying one's master are always nothing more than for gold and silver, or for marriage and status.

Let Mother handle it.

Tongzi gave the answer—this maid longed for her master to get married soon, so that she, as a maid, could also become a concubine sooner.

"Aunt? She's quite ambitious."

"Isn't it because the Ge family has a good family tradition that she simply couldn't find an opportunity?"

"No, then why did she mention kings, nobles, and generals...?"

"That's because, hahaha, you've seen the video, right? It's because the maid saved Princess Kang, who had just transmigrated. Back then, Princess Kang didn't have many admirers. The maid helped out of curiosity, and then got brainwashed by her, which led to her having this lofty ambition..."

"Shouldn't they kick the emperor off the throne? These two are really unlucky. Look at the way he became emperor, even the time-traveling woman doesn't want him, she only wants his brother."

Ge Yuping used her hand to steady her hair ornament.

He was saying some outrageous things to Tongbao in his mind.

Hua Ziyuan could tell without turning her head that her daughter was definitely daydreaming again. She was already prone to spacing out, and this spiked tea made her even more absent-minded.

"Pingping, look up, give a fake smile. No, a faint smile..."

Hua Ziyuan's wild thoughts confused her own mind.

"Okay, Mother."

"My daughter Pingping is so obedient."

With the help of a small banyan tree using branches invisible to the naked eye, Ge Yuping's fake smile was so natural and "sweet" that the ladies in the beggar's hall never wanted to look at it again.

Good heavens.

This flower-wielding kite's daughter is truly different from her.

One look at it and I wish I could drink a pot of cold water to cleanse my palate.

And what's with the light in the sky?

Why are they still chasing after this young girl and hitting her? These women who came to choose sons-in-law and daughters-in-law are so dazzled by the sight.

...

The sky was not yet dark.

Lord Ge, who had finished his shift early, was extremely anxious and came to pick up the person.

Hua Ziyuan bids farewell to acquaintances.

The couple discussed matters in a carriage, while Ge Yuping dozed off in her father's carriage.

"Is Pingping really alright?"

"Let's go to my father's place first. Pingping said that the old nanny has a female physician by her side, who even took her pulse and gave her pills. She also said that the medicine bottles looked expensive... Maybe some important person is using the flower-viewing festivities as an excuse to seek medical treatment..."

"This is really lively..."

Ge Nanfei wiped the fine sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.

"I wonder if my father-in-law is home today..."

"Don't worry, I sent someone to tell my father. He'll be back soon after his shift."

Hua Ziyuan tore a piece of old cloth from her hand, her teeth grinding together. Soon after, she found a sewing kit in the carriage, took out a small figure, and started stabbing it wildly with needles.

The sapling banyan tree couldn't bear to see the beauty angry.

Swaying its little branches, it sends out a few gentle breezes, easing the worries and anxieties of Bao's parents.

There was a breeze blowing.

Hua Ziyuan's grip finally loosened a bit.

That's right.

Ge Nanfei felt uneasy and raised his hand to press down on his wig. Oh, the hair was still there.

The sapling hesitated.

Why don't you blow-dry some of this person's hair yourself?

Its baby can't have a bald dad! And the baby's little brother needs to be watched too!

Ge Yuping drank a pot of tonic.

His mental strength quickly stopped his companion who was fixing his elderly father's bald spot.

"Wait until I 'find' some he shou wu (Polygonum multiflorum) or something, then you can prepare the ritual for them..."

Otherwise, it wouldn't be a holiday.

It's quite startling when a bald person suddenly grows hair.
