Chapter 3: Since one has come, one should make oneself comfortable

She observed for a moment and found that her luck was not too bad. This was a wealthy family, and from the conversations around her, it seemed they belonged to a noble lineage. There was no need to worry about food, clothing, or other necessities. The trouble was that this family appeared to be embroiled in internal strife. The grandmother of this body was a secondary wife, and the grandfather had just passed away. The uncle who inherited the title was not born of the grandmother, and he had intentions to suppress their branch of the family. However, she was not overly concerned. The grandmother had already mentioned that they would separate and establish their own household in a few days. From her tone, it did not seem like they were short of money, as she had already instructed someone to prepare a residence. It was likely that their future days would not be difficult.

The wet nurse asked her, "What is the matter with you? Do you have any worries? Please tell me about it. Although I cannot claim to be well-informed, I am a few years older than you, and I certainly know more than you do."

The voice of a woman speaking came from the main room, it was Mother Mi reporting to Grandmother Zhang: "The imperial physician has just prescribed medicine, and my daughter-in-law took a look at the prescription. It seems somewhat inappropriate, as it appears to be for adults; how can a child endure such fierce and harmful medicine? My daughter-in-law wishes to ask the physician to prescribe another remedy, but Concubine Qian has impatiently invited him over, saying that the young Hong over there is also ill and waiting to see the doctor. My daughter-in-law does not know what to do, as the physician seems to be closer to that side, and even if we invite him again, it would still leave one feeling uneasy." My daughter-in-law wishes to ask the physician to prescribe another remedy, but Concubine Qian has impatiently invited him over, saying that the young Hong over there is also ill and waiting to see the doctor. My daughter-in-law does not know what to do, as the physician seems to be closer to that side, and even if we invite him again, it would still leave one feeling uneasy.

Zhao Zhuo listened and immediately knew that this prescription was reliable. He hurried out to thank the doctor, sent the person away, and then dispatched someone to fetch the medicine. Upon returning, he said to his wife: "In the past few days, I have been so focused on taking care of our daughter that I have neglected our son. I just checked his homework and found out that he hasn't been sleeping well these past few days and looks quite listless. The attendants in his room didn't report this to me, you should inquire about it."

Zhao Yingjun felt somewhat uninteresting. Before her time travel, she was an only child, the apple of her parents' eyes, and everything was first for her. Now, with new parents, they not only cared for her alone, which made her feel a bit uncomfortable. However, upon reflection, she thought she was being unreasonable. Since she had a new family, she should not view things through the lens of being an only child. Having siblings was not a bad thing, right? Even if her parents passed away, she would no longer be alone. With this thought, she felt much better.

If she had to experience a supernatural event, she would rather be reborn than travel through time. If she could be reborn to a year ago, before her parents encountered the car accident, she would be able to save them. Now? She fears that she may never even see their photos again

The one-year-old infant was still very weak, having just recovered from a serious illness. Zhao Yingjun quickly fell asleep in exhaustion. When she woke up again, the first thing she saw was a five or six-year-old boy standing by the kang, staring at her with wide eyes, sporting prominent dark circles under his eyes, which looked quite frightening, and she was taken aback.

The wet nurse said: "What is so strange about this? If it were just Aunt Qian, it would be fine, but even Old Aunt is in the house. As long as the eldest lady is not a fool, she cannot keep anyone here, at most just one or two trusted individuals. That Old Aunt is not one to understand the rules; she is completely biased towards her niece and does not consider the background of the eldest lady's family. Whenever she gets the chance, she scolds people as if they were servants. She is not a respectable old lady to begin with, but unfortunately, the marquis is raised by her. If the eldest lady were to argue with her, it would create problems with the marquis and the eldest master. However, if she does not argue with her and accommodates her in everything, allowing her to trample on her dignity, what face will she have left to manage the household in front of the subordinates? Therefore, ever since the Duke passed away, the eldest lady has been helping the lady of the house manage family affairs, and when Old Aunt comes to her courtyard to talk, the attendants will not stay close by."

"Alright, Wei Ge'er, do not disturb your sister any longer. These past few days, your father has been preoccupied with other matters; have you been reviewing your lessons daily? Come here, your father wants to hear you recite your lessons." Zhao Zhuo called the little boy away, and Zhao Yingjun almost choked; what is this little brother's name? Wei Ge?

The wet nurse's complexion gradually turned pale

In the previous second, she was crying uncontrollably in front of her parents' graves, and in the next second, she found herself sleeping in this dimly lit room, lying on a heated bed, with old-fashioned windows, candle holders for lights, and several women dressed in ancient costumes surrounding her, shedding tears. A young handsome man in white stood at the other end of the room, sighing. If she couldn't figure out what had happened from all this, then all the web novels she had read over the past few years would have been in vain

I would never! The little boy puffed up his cheeks, looking very aggrieved

Zhang and Mi were both very surprised, and Mi felt even more guilty: "It is all my fault for being so negligent." Zhang's expression darkened as he said: "It has only been two or three days, yet the subordinates failed to report this matter. This is a dereliction of duty. They must have seen our decline and harbored other intentions. Such matters cannot go unpunished! What happened to my son Hong over there? If it weren't for everyone in the courtyard running away and neglecting their duties, how could they not have noticed that the child was in trouble? They must have seen our decline and harbored other intentions. Such matters cannot go unpunished! What happened to my son Hong over there? If it weren't for everyone in the courtyard running away and neglecting their duties, how could they not have noticed that the child was in trouble? My wife, come with me, we will go through the people in Wei's room, and Zhao will go find your nephew to offer condolences. They may be heartless, but we cannot be rude." He also instructed the wet nurse and Chun Cao to take good care of his granddaughter, and then took his wife to his grandson's room.

Mi left in response, and Zhang entered by lifting the door curtain, sitting down by the kang and gently touching her granddaughter's small face, her expression filled with affection. Zhao Yingjun felt a stir in her heart and reached out to grasp her grandmother's thumb. The young grandmother immediately broke into a radiant smile: "Good child, you will get better soon"

Zhang was taken aback: "How could it be gone? Just this morning, he mentioned he was ill, and his aunt didn't say it was serious. Didn't we just invite the imperial physician to take a look?"

After a short while, the old doctor wrote a prescription, which Zhao Zhuo solemnly delivered to Zhang Shi for her review. Zhao Yingxiu, who was sleeping beside Zhang Shi, caught a glimpse of a few words on the prescription. Not understanding much, she saw that it contained several medicinal ingredients such as purple aster, hemp, and apricot kernels. However, Zhang Shi nodded and handed the prescription to her daughter-in-law, saying, "Just prepare the medicine according to this prescription." She then instructed her son, "Be sure to thank the doctor properly."

The little boy suddenly laughed and turned to say to those behind him: "Sister is awake, sister is awake!"

The condition of my granddaughter is indeed serious, but she has already improved; we just need to wait for the medicine to be prepared and then administer it to her. It is my grandson's situation that is of utmost importance.

Zhao Yingjun is very conflicted. She thought that time travel was an outdated concept, especially since the broadcasting authorities have banned time travel dramas. However, she was mistaken; time travel, regardless of the era, still has its audience, and the masters of time travel are enduring it!

At this moment, there seemed to be some commotion in the distance, which soon subsided. Zhang called the maid and asked, "What is happening outside?"

The young father Zhao Zhuo stepped forward and smiled, saying, "It must be you being naughty, waking up your sister."

Chun Cao finally came to her senses, blushing as she handed the teacup to her, then resumed her frowning and lost expression.

Thinking positively, her current father, Zhao Zhuo, is a young and handsome man, seemingly well-educated, and is preparing to take the imperial examination in the future. Her mother, Mi, is also a virtuous and gentle woman, while her grandmother, Zhang, holds a high status, though she is only in her early forties, even younger than her mother was before her passing. All three elders possess striking appearances and carry themselves with an air of nobility. As their descendant, Zhao Yingjun may look forward to growing into an elegant beauty herself, which would compensate for the regret of her somewhat ordinary looks before her time travel.

It is said that by the time the imperial physician arrived, Hong Ge'er had already passed away. Chun Cao wanted to say something but hesitated, ultimately remaining silent

Zhang did not notice that she was still in shock over this unfortunate news

Not long after, Zhao Zhuo invited an elderly doctor over. Due to his advanced age, both the Zhang family and the Mi family did not avoid him. The old doctor took Zhao Yingjun's pulse, examined her tongue, inquired about the various symptoms since the onset of the illness, and requested to see the prescription from the Zhang family. He then retreated to the outer room, where he dropped half of his bag while discussing terms like "Qi fire attacking upward" and "excessive sweating injuring fluids." Zhao Yingjun did not understand a single word, but Zhang understood and quietly said to his daughter-in-law, Mi: "This time we are lucky. My prescription was not entirely appropriate, but fortunately, it has managed to reduce the high fever, which is somewhat effective. However, to cure it completely, we will need to prescribe another remedy."

Fortunately, she did not remain depressed for long; she has always been a strong-willed person. When her parents suddenly passed away in a car accident, she was devastated, but she quickly pulled herself together and handled the funeral arrangements meticulously. After the funeral, she resumed her normal life, working when necessary and resting when needed, because she understood that her parents, in another world, would wish for her to live well. If she were to truly fall into despair, it would only cause them to rest uneasily in death. Similarly, now that she has transitioned to another world, she must live earnestly and not cause her parents any worry.

The father and son went to the other side of the room, and Zhao Yingjun had just finished feeling sympathy for the young man's name when she began to worry about herself. What was the name of this body? In the past two days, she had only heard others call her "Elder Sister," but she had no way of knowing what her specific name was.

If you have the ability, then so be it. Why exert your power over her? She has no interest in time travel at all

Zhao Yingjun felt a stir in her heart; this little boy was her current brother? She had not seen him before, but this was not bad. In fact, she had always hoped to have a sibling.

The spring grass lifted the curtain and reported: "Old Madam, it is? The young master’s Hong Ge’er has passed away, and Aunt Qian is wailing, having been scolded back by the madam."

Chun Cao hesitated for a moment and then said: "Just now... I went to the old lady's place with the old madam. However, since Aunt Qian and Concubine Qian were both inside the house, I did not follow them in and waited outside. At that time, there wasn't even a maid in the courtyard; they all ran away.

Chun Cao seemed a bit distracted. The wet nurse called her to pass a teacup, but after calling her two or three times, she still did not hear. Unable to hold back, she gave her a push: "What are you daydreaming about? I called you, didn't you hear?"

She is willing to read novels, but she certainly does not want to experience it personally

The wet nurse was perplexed. After hesitating for a while, Chun Cao finally made up her mind. She peeked outside a few times and, seeing no one nearby, leaned closer to the wet nurse and whispered, "While I was waiting for the old lady in the corridor, I saw Ze Ge'er go into Aunt Qian's room. Just as he entered, Hong Ge'er's wet nurse was driven out. After a while, Ze Ge'er rushed out in a panic and even bumped into me. From the look on his face at that moment, it seemed he had been startled. However, he is from that side, so I didn't want to ask too much. Just then, the old lady came out, and I hurried over to attend to her. Earlier, there were discussions in the residence, saying that there was no one to attend to in the courtyard, and Aunt Qian had been with the old lady and the big lady causing a commotion. No one knew that something was wrong with Hong Ge'er. When the physician came to check, the person was already cold. This made me recall the matter..."

After hearing this, Chun Cao did not show a look of sudden realization; instead, she appeared even more distressed: "But there are actually people in that courtyard..."

Zhang sighed and said: "Very well, since my daughter-in-law has just relented, you may send someone to Huichuntang to invite a doctor. It would be better than the one they have over there. The child's condition is no longer critical; it is sufficient to have a doctor prescribe a remedy for adjustment. It is not necessary to summon the imperial physician."

Whenever Zhao Yingjun thinks of this matter, she feels somewhat listless; however, in the eyes of her parents and family, who are now with her, it appears to be a symptom of her recent recovery from a serious illness
