tely went to the carriage to rummage through things. After a moment, he returned, handing a white porcelain bottle and a medicine pouch to Lian Yi.The ripples first poured out a black pill the size of...Ripple's mission this time was completed very smoothly. The main reason was that modern society wasn't as dangerous, so after the mission ended, she directly chose to enter the next plane and continue her tasks.

"I'm sending you there now, but before we do, I need to know what from the last mission you want to keep"

The stone mill asked a question.

"I put my own hands-built resort into the space, after all, I am very satisfied with this work."

After thinking for a moment, Lian Yi said.

"Understood! The items will be sent to your space."

When the voice of the stone mill fell, the ripples' soul smoothly entered a body. When she opened her eyes, she was sitting beside an eight immortals table.

"Ripples, your illness hasn't recovered yet. No need to specially accompany me for breakfast."

The dignified man seated at the head spoke in a serious tone.

Ripple wasn't sure who the other party was, so she just smiled faintly and said:

"It's fine, I feel much better now."

"Miss, your master has been worried about you these past two days. He asks about your health every time he returns home. I think the foreign doctor's medicine really worked. After one injection, you were able to get out of bed."

Sitting opposite the ripples, a beautiful woman in a floral cheongsam smiled and said.

"That's right, we didn't believe it before, but this time we were truly amazed."

Another pretty woman with a round face also chimed in.

A ripple glanced at it and discovered that besides the man who resembled her biological father in the main seat, the other four people at the dinner table were all women. They were plump and slender, each with a unique beauty. It was obvious they had a close relationship with the men, otherwise they wouldn't be dining together.

Ripple rubbed her temples, unsure what this mission was about.

The man saw ripples rubbing her temple, and immediately glared unhappily at the women around him, saying in a low voice:

"Why are you speaking so loudly, can't you see my daughter is unwell"

Four women immediately fell silent.

Then Liàn Yī said,

"My daughter is still a bit dizzy, so she won't join us for dinner. I'll go back and lie down for a while."

"I told you not to force yourself, you child."

The men all wore expressions of fatherly kindness and said to the young girl standing behind Ripples:

"Purple Swallow, help your young mistress back to her room to rest. Watch over her as she drinks the medicine."

"Yes, Master!"

The fifteen-year-old girl readily agreed, immediately stepping forward and taking Ripples' arm, leaving the dining room.

Once the ripples had subsided, the four women who had been silent just moments before finally spoke up one after another.

"Master, please don't take your anger out on us. It wasn't that we didn't keep an eye on the young lady, it's just that she insisted on going to see Zhang Xuetao, the prodigy son of the Zhang family. None of us consorts could stop her."

“Yes! No one expected it to rain that day. Miss got drenched and caught a fever when she returned. Thankfully, the fourth sister was clever. Seeing that the doctor's prescription wasn't working, she went to the mission hospital and brought back a foreign doctor. Otherwise, when Master returned, Miss might not have been able to get up.”

"The lady misses her husband, that's why she's forcing herself to come and have breakfast with you."

"Master, how long will you be able to stay at the manor this time Please don't leave after just two days. The young mistress misses you, and all four of us sisters miss you too!"

All the women at the table chatted excitedly with Duan Zongqing about what had happened in the mansion after he left.

And the ripples, under Ziuyan's service, returned to her Chinese-Western fusion boudoir, lay down on the soft bed, and then closed her eyes, beginning to receive the memories of her original body.

Her original name was Duan Lianyi, the only daughter of the warlord Duan Zongqing. She had just turned fourteen years old this year. She was the only child of Duan Zongqing and his deceased wife. His wife died protecting Duan Zongqing when she was hit by a missile.

The daughter left behind by his deceased wife was naturally cherished by Duan Zongqing. During the attack, his wife had shielded him from a fatal blow but sustained severe injuries herself, to the point that she could no longer have children. To care for their little daughter, he took another wife.

This woman was born into a wealthy family. Although she took care of the original owner during her childhood, she actually wanted to have a son of her own. Unfortunately, she didn't know that Duan Zongqing was infertile, so she made a very foolish decision.

When Duan Zongqing returned from war, he discovered that his daughter had become thin as a skeleton, gnawing on raw sweet potatoes. His wife, whom he had brought back home, was supporting her waist and claiming that she was carrying a son. This enraged Duan Zongqing, whose temper was already volatile. He slapped her and told the self-righteous woman that because of his war injuries, he had lost his ability to have children.

Only then did the woman's face turn pale. She understood why she had been beaten, because the child in her belly was conceived when she had secretly slept with her cousin after calculating the days. She thought she had done a perfect job, but it turned out that the man she married was infertile.

Duan Zongqing was by no means a soft-hearted man. He ordered the woman's parents to be brought in and also summoned a renowned doctor at the time. After explaining the situation, he immediately administered an abortion drug to the woman on the spot. He absolutely wouldn't give the other party even a sliver of a chance to climb up to him in the future. Then, with a single divorce decree, he divorced her directly and from then on, he gave up the idea of getting married.

Duan Zongqing couldn't bring his daughter to war, so he left a squad of trusted guards behind with his wife and maidservants to care for her. He only brought in several concubines after he had conquered a piece of land in the south.

In the end, only these four concubines remained by Duan Zongqing's side. Knowing that their husband was infertile, they had given up hope of having sons and devoted themselves to caring for Lianyi, making their lives surprisingly comfortable.

As the only daughter of Duan Zongqing, a powerful warlord, marrying her would be like inheriting all of Duan Zongqing's power. Many people coveted her hand in marriage, so Duan Zongqing guarded his daughter very carefully.

But among these schemers was Zhang Xuetao, the son of the powerful warlord Zhang Xiefeng who resided in the north. Zhang Xuetao, three years older than the original him, was a true prodigy. Under his father's tutelage from a young age, he excelled in both literature and martial arts.

Most importantly, the original owner had only met Zhang Xuetao once and immediately considered him her future husband. Duan Zongqing saw that his daughter was willing, and the other party was indeed excellent, especially since the merger of the two largest military factions in the north and south held immense significance. Therefore, after the original owner came of age at sixteen, he betrothed the two.

To become a wife worthy of Zhang Xuetou, the original person was sent to the Y Country Bride School by Duan Zongqing. Four years later, she returned to prepare for marriage.

Unfortunately, Zhang Xuedao already had a girlfriend at this time. He fell in love with a war doctor and felt that she was the woman who could stand by his side. A pampered young lady like the original body was not what he pursued.

But the marriage of the two was no child's play, it involved the merger of two major forces. Zhang Xuetao feigned a marriage to the original owner, while on the other hand, he used a knife to kill someone else. At the wedding scene, an attack was staged, and Duan Zongqing was killed on the spot. The original owner was also seriously injured and disfigured.

And Zhang Xuetao, bearing wounds all over his body, led people to avenge his father-in-law and wife by killing the warlord faction responsible for the attack. He also successfully took control of the Duan family's power, becoming the number one warlord in Huaxia Country.

When she awoke, only her father and his four concubines were by her bedside. Then she realized they were under house arrest.

A year later, when she was able to get out of bed, she requested to see Zhang Xuetao. This time, the people guarding her did not refuse. However, it wasn't just Zhang Xuetao who came to see her, but also his current wife, Yun Siyu.s eyes, not particularly large, were a shade deeper than lake blue. He wore a white waistcoat, a navy tweed jacket and black trousers. It was clear he had made a special effort to dress up before goin...
