I'm reborn, so it's not too much to kill the one who traveled through the book, right?

"Sanniang, what's wrong with you?" Liu Jinfeng's voice brought Shen Rong back to her senses.

"I... am fine." Shen Rong hurriedly picked up the basin and clothes on the ground.

Seeing that Shen Rong looked pale, Liu Jinfeng thought that she had not rested well, so she did not care and talked about what happened in Shen Erzhu's house yesterday.

At the Gu family, Shen Yuan sat in front of the window thinking about what happened yesterday. It felt like a dream and it was unreal.

She was actually the real daughter who was taken away by mistake from the Earl's Mansion.

It turned out that sixteen years ago, the head of the Chen family, Shen Yuan's biological parents' home, made some unknown mistake and the entire family was exiled to Lingnan, thousands of miles away, by the emperor.

The Chen family set out from Shangjing, traveling from north to south, passing through Yunmeng County.

Chen Bingsheng's wife, Wang, was ten months pregnant. When they reached Shili Pavilion outside Yunmeng County, they suddenly gave birth on the way due to fatigue from traveling.

At this time, Zhang from Taohua Village was pregnant with her first child and wanted to have a son. As the baby was due in a month, she went to the temple to burn incense with a big belly. When passing by the county town, she somehow got pregnant. As the baby was about to be born, Shen Erzhu carried Zhang to Shili Pavilion and gave birth together with Wang.

Although the Chen family was exiled, there were still quite a few people in the family, and many relatives were there to help Wang during the delivery.

It was the first time for Zhang and his wife to have a child. They were very busy and confused. In the end, Wang's mother-in-law couldn't bear it anymore and helped Zhang to give birth.

Both of them gave birth to daughters successfully, but they unexpectedly took the wrong child away. The Chen family did not realize it until they were halfway through their journey. Unfortunately, they were exiled, so even if the child was taken away by the wrong person, they could not go back to look for him. So, until Wang's two sons made contributions and were summoned back to the capital by the emperor, Wang immediately sent her trusted maid to look for him.

Of course, these are what Wang Po said to Shen Yuan.

The actual situation was that Wang deliberately took the wrong baby.

Wang was overly frightened and exhausted on the way to exile, which led to premature birth. The child was born weak. Wang was worried that her daughter would die on the journey. She saw that Zhang, who was standing next to her, was dressed like an ordinary citizen, but she was not so poor that she had to wear tattered clothes. She thought it would be better to exchange the child with a farmer's family than to follow her to Lingnan and risk her life. After Wang figured it out, she took advantage of Zhang's sleep to exchange the two children.

She didn't expect that Zhang also gave birth prematurely. Although the child looked a little better than Wang's biological child, it was still a premature baby after all. The child died before they arrived in Lingnan.

When Wang saw that the child was dead, she was filled with relief.

Shen Yuan didn't know the secret behind this and just thought that the situation was too chaotic and he took the wrong baby.

She quickly accepted the result. Who would want to be a country girl when she can be a rich lady?

Yesterday, when she found out that she was the daughter of the Earl's Mansion, she immediately asked someone to go to the county to inform Gu Zhaoming, asking him to come back quickly to pack his things and go to the capital.

Shen Yuan didn't have to wait long. Early the next morning, Gu Zhaoming returned to Taohua Village carrying his book box.

It was already late when Gu Zhaoming received the letter yesterday.

When he heard what the messenger said, his first reaction was disbelief. He thought that the messenger must be lying to him. But it was not until the messenger told him the whole story of the luxurious carriage that came to Shen Laogen's house that Gu Zhaoming believed what the messenger said.

It was already late when Gu Zhaoming received the letter. After he packed up, it was already night. It was not safe to walk at night, so Gu Zhaoming could only wait until dawn to go back.

He packed his things at night and lay in bed all night, but couldn't fall asleep.

When Gu Zhaoming thought about his wife who had suddenly transformed into a rich lady in the capital, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep.

Shen Yuan is the daughter of an earl. As a scholar, he knows very well what this means.

When Gu Zhaoming returned to Gu's house, his eyes were dark, and it was obvious that he hadn't slept well. His pale face couldn't help but show a hint of excitement.

When he saw Shen Yuan, dressed in silk and satin and with pearls and jade on her head, sitting in front of the window, his heart suddenly calmed down.

His wife is really a rich lady!

"Husband, you are finally back. We are going to the capital."

When Shen Yuan saw Gu Zhaoming coming back, she immediately went to greet him. She looked at him, her tone showing some anticipation for going to Beijing.

Shen Yuan had no attachment to Taohua Village. Even after learning that she was the daughter of the Chen family, she felt more grateful.

Zhang was a person who favored boys over girls. When she learned that the child was taken away by mistake and died on the way to Lingnan, she was a little sad at first. But when Wang Momo took out five hundred taels of silver, she immediately smiled.

Five hundred taels of silver. Even if her biological daughter was not taken away by mistake and was still alive, she could not exchange for that five hundred taels of silver.

After Zhang got the money, she didn't feel any reluctance to part with Shen Yuan, her adopted daughter who was not her biological daughter.

Shen Yuan had only arrived halfway, and she had no feelings for Zhang, who favored boys over girls. And seeing that Zhang didn't take her seriously and only had money in her eyes, she became completely disappointed.

When Nanny Wang said she wanted to take her away from Taohua Village, she agreed without hesitation.

When Nanny Wang saw that she was married, and learned that her son-in-law was a scholar and had passed the imperial examination, and that there was only a widowed mother at home, she thought it would not be a problem to take her away with them, so she gave her three days to pack her things and she could return to Beijing with them after three days.

The Gu family was extremely poor, and apart from Gu Zhaoming's old books, they had nothing valuable. Shen Yuan packed up his valuables last night, waiting for Gu Zhaoming to come back before leaving.

Needless to say, Gu Zhaoming asked Shen Yuan a lot after he came back.

Here, Shen Rong followed Liu Jinfeng like a trance and came to the canal in the west of the village.

Both sides of the canal were already filled with young girls and wives washing clothes. As soon as Shen Rong approached the canal, she heard them discussing the fact that Shen Yuan was a rich lady.

"The Shen Laogen family has finally become rich. Have you heard about it? The woman who came to pick her up gave Zhang five hundred taels of silver."

"What? Five hundred taels of silver? Oh my God! How much silver is that? I have never seen silver in my life, let alone five hundred taels."

"Yes! We dig for food in the soil all year round, and even if we don't eat or drink for twenty years, we still can't dig up five hundred taels!"

"It's really worthwhile to raise Zhang's daughter!"

"If we talk about cost-effectiveness, the Gu family still gets the biggest advantage. Didn't you hear that Mr. Gu and his mother went to the capital together?"

"Why haven't I heard of it? Mrs. Liu is so lucky..."

"If you ask me, Gu Xiucai has a really good vision. He chose Shen Yuan, who seemed unremarkable at first. I didn't expect that she turned out to be a rich lady. Gu Xiucai is really lucky."

"Hey! As the saying goes, a girl without blessings will not marry a blessed family. This is just because some people are unlucky!" A sarcastic voice came from the crowd.

Everyone followed Wang's gaze, and when they saw Shen Rong, their eyes flickered for a moment, and it was obvious that they agreed with what she said.

After all, if Shen Rong had not had that incident, she would have definitely married Gu Zhaoming smoothly.

Shen Rong couldn't compare to being a rich lady, but being a scholar's wife was also a very good destination. What a pity...

Shen Rong raised her eyes and looked at the person who said that.

It turned out to be Wang.

In this life, although Wang was not driven out by Patriarch Gu, she spent a lot of money to repair the ancestral hall. What's more, she lost so much face that she hated Changsheng and the group of children who discovered her affair.

She couldn't do anything openly for those children, but she hated Changsheng and Shen Rong who was with Changsheng's family.
