"Drip, drip, drip，Bang——"
The last memory in Su Mu's mind before losing consciousness was the blinding white light and the countless honks of car horns that made her shiver!
Accompanied by severe pain, a drowsy Su Mu felt the car horns around her suddenly disappear.
What replaced it was——
"Wuu, wuu, wuu……"
The sobbing was getting louder and louder, drawing Su Mu's consciousness back.
What the hell is that crying for, it's so noisy!
Su Mu opened her eyes impatiently, but when she saw the scene in front of her, she froze——
The roof was patched up with worn-out tiles, the wooden beams were mostly rotten, and the air was filled with an unpleasant smell of decay.
What the hell? Shouldn't I be on the way to an international medical symposium with my professor?
Where the hell is this?!
She incredulously lifted her hand to rub her eyes, but the scene in front of her didn't change at all.
"Miss, you're finally awake!"
The voice came from beside Su Mu, full of unrestrained excitement and joy.
Miss?
"You are the real prostitute! Your whole family are prostitutes!!"
Su Mu turned her head towards the source of the voice, only to see an elderly woman dressed in coarse gray-green cloth. The woman gave her a kindly look, her face still damp with fresh tears.
It seemed that the crying she had just heard had come from this woman, so Su Mu firmly assumed.
Looking at the old woman, she could see more than just kindness in her face. She could see what seemed like heartache and sorrow.
These complex and heavy emotions had an unfathomable impact, sending a painful sensation through her own heart.
Su Mu hesitated for a moment, wanting to say something comforting to the old woman.
But as she opened her mouth to speak, an intense headache swept over her, as if a turbulent sea was crashing inside her skull.
Many strange memories, and unknown images flashed through her mind like a movie reel, gradually merging with her own memories.
The original owner of this body was called Su Mumo, just one character more than her own name.
The original Su Mumo, was the third young lady of an ordinary business family named Su in the Nan Qi kingdom. But her status in the Su family was even worse than a servant.
All because she was picked up by the head of the Su family and was a bastard child of unknown origin!
Even though her family elders were wary of the head of the Su family and treated Su Mumo respectfully, ever since he passed away several months ago, her status has dramatically fallen in the Su family.
The Su family did not intend to keep her, but had to do so due to the head of Su family's affection for her and his reputation in society. It was common knowledge that she, Su Mumo, was the third young lady of the Su family. Hence, they could not simply kick her out.
The reason behind this was to avoid becoming the subject of gossip and insulting the Su family's reputation!
The head of the Su family was a renowned general of the Nan Qi kingdom in his youth, and even decades later, his reputation remains well-known. He had a close relationship with the retired emperor.
For some unknown reason, the elderly Master Su decided to resign and lay down his official duties, living the life of an ordinary businessman, and slowly the Su family began to decline...
Now, Master Su is no more. But the late Emperor always remembered a joke he once had with Master Su. "We will marry our children," he had said and insisted before his death that his successor, the current Emperor, must be connected through marriage with the Su family.
But since the Su family has now fallen, the Emperor agreed on face, but was reluctant at heart.
Therefore, an imperial edict was issued, ordering the family's eldest daughter, Su Qiuqing, to marry the "Stable Prince" - Nan Muchen.
This made the Su family boil with unrest.
Everyone in Nanqi knew that this Stable Prince is nothing more than a fool with an empty title!
Su Qiuqing, the eldest daughter, caused a lot of ruckus at home. Her parents also couldn't bear to let their beloved daughter marry a foolish child in her prime years, so they came up with a plan to send a substitute.
The substitute Su Mumu, was to replace her and marry into the residence of Stable Prince, since no one from the palace has ever seen the real Su Qiuqing.
Su Mumu naturally disagreed when she learned of this. The family then confined her to her room, where she stayed until the day she was carried away in a sedan chair for the wedding ceremony.
The previous owner was thus pushed to the brink of desperation. Driven to despair, she hung herself.
After thinking about these memories, Su Mumu finally understood.
She, a doctoral student from a medical institute, had some achievements in her field but now found herself in such a pitiful situation.
Was it fate? Or was it the heavens finding amusement at her expense?
After cursing the Su family's ancestors in her mind for their deceit, she finally felt a little better.
"Young Miss, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell somewhere else?"
This old woman is the wet nurse who raised the original owner from childhood in the Su family and is the only person who treated her kindly, apart from the Grand Master Su — Wu Shi.
Upon seeing Su Mu, or rather, she should be called Su Mumu now... her face alternating between green and white; Wu Shi thought she was still feeling unwell somewhere and hurried over to ask with concern.
Seeing Wu Shi's look of concern, Su Mumu felt warmth in her heart and said softly, “Wet nurse, I am fine, please help me get up.”
Wu Shi nodded, gingerly helping her somewhat exhausted body to sit up, allowing Su Mumu to finally see the environment she was currently in clearly.
It was more a pile of tiles making up a simple hut, rather than a room.
Apart from worn-out tables and chairs, there were no other furnishings in the room.
The bed beneath her was merely a thin, hard wooden board, and the quilt that covered her was still emitting a mouldy smell. There was nothing but some old paper pasted in the window that was filled with holes. Even when it was completely closed, the cold wind still kept pouring in from the holes.
Damn it, how could this place be for humans to sleep, it's utterly a mess!
In line with her original character, she would burst out right now and skin alive that inhumane Su family!
But she was no longer Su Mu, but Su Mumu. Being too impulsive is evidently not a good choice.
Wu Shi let out a long sigh, pulling her hand with heartache and said, "Ah, miss, why are you so eager for death! Fortunately, I arrived on time. If the Grand Master Su was alive, how heartbroken he would be..."
"Wet nurse..." Somehow, a twinge of guilt flashed in Su Mumu's heart, "I'm sorry, I made you suffer."
Upon hearing this, Wu Shi suddenly teared up, "Listen to your wet nurse, marrying into the Prince's Mansion can at least secure your food and clothing. It's better than being looked down upon here. You'd be the princess, and live a good life. Grand Master Su would be at peace in the afterlife."
After hearing Wu Shi's earnest words, Su Mumu obediently nodded.
She is not the brainless original owner. Of course, she knows that if she continues to confront the Su family like this, it will not end well.
If she were successful in marrying into Prince Ding's mansion, then she would legitimately become Princess Ding. Even if Prince Ding was ignorant, he was still, after all, a titled prince.
In terms of advantages and disadvantages, she understood everything more clearly than anyone.
Furthermore, in the original owner's memory, she saw that this old Master Su was still in good health just a few years ago, yet strangely fell seriously ill a few months ago, and passed away. There might be something suspicious going on.
As the saying goes, "Take someone's money to dispel their disaster." Now that she has taken over Su Mumu's body, she also has the obligation to help investigate old Master Su's cause of death, to give an explanation to the original owner.
After she sent Madame Wu away, Su Mumu wanted to seize the opportunity to spend some quiet time alone, to sort out her thoughts.
"Younger sister…" A sharp, weeping voice echoed in Su Mumu's contemplating ear. When she looked up, she saw a delicate little face with tear-streaked cheeks.
It turned out to be her dear elder sister, Su Ji Qing, and ah yes, her second sister, Su Qing Xue.
Seeing the two of them holding hands and striding in, Su Mumu couldn't help but rub her throbbing temples.
Trouble comes wave after wave. She had just crossed over, and already she was confronted with such a large display.
In the memory of the original owner of her body, these two sisters had never ceased to trip her up behind her back.
Pushing the original owner into the pond, adding laxatives to the original owner's daily meals... There seemed to be nothing they would not do.
She wanted to see today, this green tea bitch and this white lotus flower, what tricks they could pull in front of her!
