Rebirth of the Guardian Cute Baby

Zhen Jing found herself in a corner full of debris. After finally crawling out from the pile, she discovered that she had become a child of eight or nine years old.

"Ding, host, I have some bad news for you. The calculation of the time travel was a little off. For this mission, you were supposed to travel through time and space to become a mother and protect her child, but now you have traveled through time and space to become a child... You can handle the rest on your own!"

Without waiting for Zhen Jing's response, the system automatically disappeared.

"Miscalculation. Did your Chinese teacher teach you math?"

Zhen Jing had a headache, a real headache. She ignored the pain and asked:

"Whose responsibility is it that the target of the crossing is wrong again? Does this mission count?"

What answered her was the whistling northwest wind.

Unable to receive any memories, Zhen Jing could only walk towards crowded places, where she met a dignified and graceful girl who was obviously from a wealthy family.

The girl wore an emerald green jacket and pleated skirt, a pearl and jade hairpin on her head, and the bracelet on her wrist was faintly visible when she raised her hand.

The girl was stunned when she looked at Zhen Jing, then the corners of her mouth curled up, "Han Yan, why are you here? I thought you were beaten to death by Hong Li! You didn't die but you didn't know to go home. Your mother sits at the door of Yan's house crying every day. If you don't show up, she will cry to death..."

As the girl was talking, she suddenly covered her nose with a handkerchief and said, "How did you get yourself into this state? You stink so badly. No wonder you got beaten. You really bring shame to Yan's house."

Although the girl spoke harshly, she did not abandon Zhen Jing. She stood far away from Zhen Jing and ordered: "Follow me, don't get too close to me, come home with me quickly!"

The girl walked very fast, and Zhen Jing could only jog after her.

Zhen Jing took note of the scenery on both sides, the pavilions, towers, and large courtyards, but she had no idea which dynasty this was.

The girl stopped in front of a gate tower and looked back. Seeing Zhen Jing following her, she walked into the gate.

Zhen Jing also walked into the gate calmly, and did not see any crying woman at the gate.

"Fifth Miss"

The two gatekeepers respectfully bowed to the girl who walked in. When Zhen Jing walked over, the two men just stood up, gave her a disdainful look, and went about their business.

Zhen Jing continued to follow the Fifth Miss.

The Fifth Miss took her straight to a large room, which, judging by the furnishings, should be the family's reception hall.

Sitting at the main seat in the flower hall, a lady in her forties was being served by several maids while drinking tea and chatting.

The fifth young lady bowed to the woman and said, "Madam, I have found Xiao Qi. Please release Hong Li."

The eldest lady put down the teacup in her hand, sat up straight and looked over.

Zhen Jing met her gaze and felt that the eldest lady's eyes were quite kind.

The eldest lady spoke, her tone gentle but accusing.

"Han Yan, why are you so willful? You should tell your mother in advance where you are going. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a big fuss. Your mother is going crazy. Almost everyone in the county knows about it."

Zhen Jing tried hard to digest the word Han Yan. The girl's name was Han Yan, and the Fifth Miss called her Xiao Qi in front of the Eldest Lady. This relationship was quite complicated.

The eldest lady frowned at the droopy-headed, smelly child and continued:

"Although you are not considered a legitimate daughter of the Yan family, you and your mother also rely on the Yan family for your livelihood. You ran away without saying a word, and your mother made a big fuss, insisting that you were beaten to death by Master Hongli, and demanded that Master Hongli pay with his life!"

The eldest lady wanted to say something, but she was so irritated that she had to cover her nose and said, "Since you are back, I will not pursue you. Go back to your own place with your mother."

The eldest lady spoke faster and faster. After she finished speaking, she stood up and walked inside without waiting for Zhen Jing to respond. She was almost vomiting from the smell.

Seeing that the Madam was about to leave, the Fifth Miss quickly shouted, "Madam, did you release Hongli?"

"Let it go."

"Ruyan thanks the Madam on behalf of her brother."

Suddenly, Ruyan and Zhen Jing were the only ones left in the room.

Ruyan's eyes were cold and there was no smile in them as when they first met.

She said condescendingly: "Don't be grateful to me for bringing you back. Go find your mother as soon as possible! Don't provoke Hongli again!"

Zhen Jing rolled her eyes and looked at Ruyan. This Fifth Miss was a head taller than her, and had a round, slender figure, but her tone of voice was very annoying.

Zhen Jing asked sarcastically, "You brought me back just to save Hongli, right?"

"Of course it's to save Hongli. Hongli is my biological brother. Do you think it's to save you?"

Yan Ruyan was eloquent and spoke rapidly, but she was a little puzzled in her heart. This Ruyan didn't even dare to raise her head when she saw her before, let alone talk to her. Now she dared to question her? She looked at her with a new look.

Although she was the fifth daughter, she was the oldest child at home and usually liked to discipline others, so she said:

"What good will it do for you to go against Hongli? He is young but a rich young master. He likes to bully others. You should avoid him when you see him next time..."

Zhen Jing ignored the little girl's words. She was worried about how Han Yanniang was doing.

According to the information given by the system, she was supposed to travel through time and space to become Han Yanniang to protect the child. Now something went wrong, and she didn't know whether Han Yanniang was still alive.

She interrupted the little girl who was about to continue her sermon and asked, "Where is my mother?"

Yan Ruyan paused and told a maid:

"Willow, take her to see her mother."

A servant responded and walked up to Zhen Jing and bowed, "Please follow me."

The maid led Zhen Jing to the woodshed and opened the locked door.

He said to the inside: "Madam Zhen, your daughter is back."

The woman lying on the firewood pile slowly raised her head when she heard the noise. She had more white hair than black hair, and her wrinkled face was as pale as snow. She should be in her thirties, with disheveled hair, cracked lips, and eyes that were red and swollen like walnuts.

Seeing Zhen Jing, the woman's eyes suddenly lit up. She struggled to get up, stretched out her arms and hugged Zhen Jing tightly in her arms. "Hanyan, I'm so glad that you're okay." The woman's voice was hoarse and her body was trembling. The arms that were holding Zhen Jing were thin and weak.

"Mom, let's go."

"Let's go? Can we go back now..."

"I can go back now."

Zhen Jing supported Madam Zhen and slowly walked out of Yan's Mansion through the back door. Although Madam Zhen was very weak, she still led Zhen Jing and tried to walk forward steadily.

Lady Zhen was covered in wounds, but she was in good spirits. She kept asking Zhen Jing where she had been these past few days, what had happened to her, and why she had made herself smell so sour…

Zhen Jing had no memory of Han Yan. According to her own guess, she seemed to have been put in a sack and thrown into a ruin, where she was unconscious for several days before waking up.

Madam Zhen, with tears in her eyes, touched Zhen Jing's head with heartache, checking if she was injured. Sure enough, she felt a congealed wound on her head.

Madam Zhen withdrew her hand and asked nervously: "Does it still hurt?"

Zhen Jing touched her head and said, "It's okay. It doesn't hurt anymore."

It really doesn't hurt anymore. She had a headache when she first woke up, but then she didn't feel anything afterwards.

The two walked along the deep alley, stopping and starting, and finally came to a door. This was the resettlement house next to the Yan Mansion, used to accommodate refugees and relatives who came to seek refuge. The door of Zhen Niangzi's house was not locked, so they pushed the door open and went in.

Madam Zhen hadn't eaten for several days and her injuries were severe, so Zhen Jing helped her to the bed to rest. Then she went to the kitchen to find something to cook. She found some rice in a clay pot and some dried carrots in a jar in the corner, but there was nothing else to eat.

Zhen Jing had no choice but to cook some carrot porridge and serve it to Lady Zhen.

Madam Zhen couldn't hold the bowl in her hands, so she had to let Zhen Jing feed her.

She took a bite and her eyes turned red again, "Han Yan, it's all mother's fault. I shouldn't have let you suffer so much in this world."

Zhen Jing looked at this poor mother with tears in her eyes. She took a spoonful of porridge and put it into Zhen Niang's mouth. After watching her eat it, she smiled and said, "Mom, you are right. Han Yan is very happy to meet a mother who loves me so much. I will work hard to make us live a good life in the future."

Because she was living under someone else's roof, Han Yan was always silent and didn't like to talk. When she spoke occasionally, it was to criticize her for not being a good woman. Was there no man in the world? She had to be Master Yan's mistress. If she was a mistress, she was a mistress. Why did she give birth to her and be looked down upon and bullied?

What the child said now surprised Madam Zhen. How come the child changed his personality after being missing for a few days?
