Cowardly Stepmother Dressed As the Hero

When Cao Mi woke up, she only felt that it was a little difficult to breathe, as if something was blocking her nose and mouth, preventing her from breathing freely.

An inexplicable sense of crisis rose in her heart, forcing her to struggle to get up from the bed and push the window closest to her.

In the winter, the cold air poured into the room with the open windows, and Cao Mi was breathing heavily, like a drowning person who had just left the water.

The cold air invaded from her nose and mouth all the way to her heart, liver, spleen and lungs, and it also made her sanity clearer.

When she finally recovered from her shortness of breath, she was startled by the sight in front of her.

Outside the window, there is clearly a deep winter scene of snow pressing plum branches. There is a stone table and several stone benches under the plum tree, white snow, red plums and bluestones, which are enough to be drawn into the painting.

But she was not in the mood to appreciate the sight at this time.

She suddenly seemed to realize something, raised her hands, and checked repeatedly.

The five fingers of the hand in front of her are slender and white as beautiful jade, which is definitely not something that she who was born with yellow skin can have.

Combined with the quaint scene in the house he was in, Cao Mi could be sure that he had passed through.

Realizing this fact, she wrapped her arms around herself with trembling hands, letting the tears welling up in her eyes flow freely, and wept happily.

The cry was not pure sadness and pain, but implied the joy and gratitude of the rest of the life after the catastrophe.

Cao Mi was originally a college student who just graduated in the 21st century. She majored in veterinary medicine. After graduation, she plans to return to her hometown to develop agriculture and livestock.

Unexpectedly, the accident will come sooner than tomorrow. During a physical examination, abnormal shadows were found in her lungs. After a tossing through the examination, the final diagnosis was advanced cancer.

The doctor, who was used to seeing life and death, held a diagnosis sheet and talked to her rationally. Cao Mi didn't remember anything, only confirmed it at the end, and the cure rate was less than 10%.

After all the negative emotions were sorted out within a week, Cao Mi decisively chose to give up the treatment, and went on a journey as soon as he said it.

It was not until she felt that death was approaching that she returned to the small farmyard left by her parents.

Before crossing, she was lying on a reclining chair under the vines in the back of the courtyard, clumsily flipping through a family photo album. The moment she closed the album, she suddenly felt a long-lost Qingming, which was the ease and comfort she had not felt for a long time after being afflicted by a long illness.

But she knew that it was only the last gift of death.

Although all preparations have been made so that he can face death calmly, at the moment of leaving the world, Cao Mi still has too much unwillingness in his heart.

Obviously her life has just set sail, and everything is in the ascendant, but her life came to an end in the summer.

Therefore, after waking up, she found that she had traveled through and found that she had a healthy body again, and she naturally couldn't control her emotions.

After a good catharsis and sorting out her emotions, she turned her attention to the extra memory fragments in her mind.

After spending a little time sorting it out, Cao Mi had a general understanding of the current state of this body.

The owner of this body is also called Cao Mi, her status is not low, she is the wife of Qi You, the king of Bei'an. The last princess of King Bei'an was the sister of the owner of the body, and died of dystocia.

After that, out of his sister's dying wish, Cao Mi was married to the King of Bei'an as a sequel.

Although the two sisters grew up together, Cao Mi's personality is completely different from that of the deceased sister. When they were young, the two sisters' homes experienced great changes. The elder sister grew into a dignified and dignified appearance while carrying the wind and rain, while the younger sister became cowardly and timid, sad in the spring and sad in the autumn. Every day, she could cry to falling flowers.

This kind of original body does not have the posture and talent of the mistress at all. Of course, after marrying into the palace and gaining the power of the family, only the former princess's well-organized Bei'an palace made a mess.

During this period of winter, the original body was infected with the cold, and the originally delicate body became weak and lethargic. This afternoon, she drank the medicine as usual and fell asleep in the room at noon, but she didn't expect to wake up later, but became Cao Mi of the 21st century.

Thinking of this, Cao Mi subconsciously searched the house.

In Princess Bei'an's bedroom, all the utensils are exquisite. The dark yellow pear wood high stool is carved with layers of flying cloud patterns even on the table legs. On the high stool, in a bronze charcoal stove, the charcoal fire has been extinguished, and only occasionally a thin wisp of smoke can be seen.

Cao Mi thought of something, she got up and opened several windows in the house, then took a wet handkerchief and wet it with water, covered her nose and mouth, and approached the charcoal stove step by step.

In the charcoal stove, the winter charcoal on the surface has clearly been completely extinguished. Cao Mi took the charcoal clip next to it, fiddled with the depths of the charcoal stove, and unsurprisingly found a layer of ash charcoal that was pressed under the stove and was still burning with all his might.

Carbon monoxide is produced when coal is not sufficiently oxygenated and incomplete combustion occurs. In addition, due to the infection of the cold in the past few days, the original body will close the doors and windows when taking a nap every day. Under the action of the two phases, the original body should have died from carbon monoxide poisoning in his sleep.

Carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless. When Cao Mi first woke up, it was also because of the inexplicable strong sense of crisis in his heart that he was lucky to hang up without crossing over.

Carbon monoxide poisoning is not uncommon. Even in the 21st century, in winter, many people are still hospitalized due to poisoning caused by improper use of coal.

But was it a simple accident?

In Princess Bei'an's courtyard, there is a maid who specializes in managing the charcoal fire, and she will extinguish the charcoal fire or remove it from the room every day. In the memory of the original body inherited by Cao Mi, the little maid who managed the charcoal fire was an honest and somewhat dull maid.

If it weren't for an accident...

Some people want to murder the princess of the Bei'an palace, and they can move their hands and feet into the princess' bedroom. The entanglement in this must be not small. Although the original body itself does not have the ability to run the family, but there is no bad intentions, plus she is the only hostess in the backyard of the palace, there is no drama at all. At least on the bright side, the original body has no enemies at all.

Cao Mi thought to no avail, so he simply restored the charcoal stove and pretended to know nothing.

The person who can do this kind of thing must be someone close to the original body. When she doesn't have any clues or any direct evidence, she doesn't want to panic.

It seems that even with a relatively healthy body, he still has to face the challenge of life and death.

Cao Mi thought of this, but suddenly laughed lightly.

When she was battling an illness, although she retreated without a fight, she could be considered a magnanimous loser. Now, if you want to enjoy life, you need to fight with others, betting on two lifetimes of sincere love for life and gratitude and joy for the new life—

She will not lose.

Cao Mi said silently in his heart: "Although I don't know why, I occupy your body, but from today onwards, I will live well in your place. I know your hidden wishes and most important concerns, I will Do your best to finish it.”

After reading this sentence, she felt inexplicably relieved, and she didn't know whether it was the unwillingness of her original body that was dissipated because of her commitment, or a little psychological effect after she completed the psychological construction.

After restoring the charcoal stove to its original state, Cao Mi thought for a while, then got up and walked out of the house.

As the principal concubine of the Bei'an Prince's Mansion, on weekdays, there are several maids serving in the courtyard. But it was obviously too quiet today. The movement of her opening the window is not small, but no one has come to check it up until now, which is obviously different from the situation in the past.

When she came to the outer room, she happened to bump into a maid who was about to enter the house.

The visitor had a flattering round face, and more round than her face were her swarthy eyes. When looking at those eyes, Cao Mi thought of the cute stray dog ​​downstairs in the university dormitory.

"Peach?" Cao Mi called tentatively, relying on the memory left by the original body.

"Madam, why did you get up so early today?" The maid named Taozi hurriedly bowed to Cao Mi and asked in surprise.

"I'm tired of sleep." Cao Mi prevaricates.

Taozi entered the room, put the holding box in her hand on the table, and saluted: "It's all my fault, the maid is not good. The maid just counted the time and went to the kitchen to get the cakes for Madam."

Cao Mi nodded.

She learned from the original style, and asked weakly, "What about the others?"

Speaking of this, Taozi seemed a little angry, "The lord is back, and the stewards led people to the front yard to help."

"They've all gone?" Cao Mi frowned slightly.

Here we will talk about the original housekeeping ability. A mistress with no deterrent power and a soft temperament has no binding force on the subordinates at all. Due to the relationship between master and servant, the servants did not dare to disobey her openly, but once they caught the loophole, such as when she was taking a nap, these people dared to leave the post without permission.

On the other side, Taozi replied, "Apart from me, there are two rough maids in the backyard who didn't go either."

Cao Mi nodded, and suddenly had an idea, "In that case, let's go to the front yard to have a look. It's rare for the lord to come back, and I should have served there."

Taozi nodded, "The maid will change the clothes for Madam first."

Cao Mi nodded, turned around and took Taozi back to the bedroom.

Taozi was quick on her hands and feet, and quickly changed clothes for Cao Mi. Before going out, she casually wanted to tidy up the wrinkled bed that Cao Mi slept on.

But just as she was about to lift the quilt, a gadget fell to the ground with a thud.

"Hey, what is this?" Peach exclaimed in surprise.

Cao Mi turned his eyes to look over, and was shocked.

What fell to the ground was the photo album she held in her palm before she died in her previous life! The photo album is only as big as the palm of your hand, but there are dozens of photos in it, photos taken by the whole family when her parents and elders were still alive!

The author has something to say: QAQ is finally published
