Xu Wanzhi spent most of her days lying in bed in a daze. However – an entire month had passed! This body is not her true self, with the wrong gender; having used it for a month, it’s completely impossible to develop any feelings. Moreover, various physical and mental discomforts are gradually pushing her patience to its limit. She doesn’t care if her bones might fall apart, nor does she care if she might never wake up.
But this purposeless blindness is gradually making her anxious, almost starting to consider using “radical” methods to escape this absurd dream. Xu Wan sighed, truly a child who reads the atmosphere. Perhaps triggered by that “radical” idea lurking in her confused mind, she suddenly felt a sense of relief. Having been here for a month, sleeping in a daze, she hadn’t stepped out of her room except for her “son’s” Hanzhang courtyard. The child had come to visit a few times, but she had casually dismissed him. Moreover, in a new era, in a foreign body, and seemingly in an upper-class society with no worries about livelihood, if she didn’t explore around, wouldn’t that be a loss? Harboring this “play around for a few days before leaving” thought, under Qi’er’s puzzled gaze, one morning Xu Wan got out of bed, first standing under a tree to do some aerobic breathing.
Then, she began wandering around the Qu family mansion. The Qu family seemed quite wealthy, with carefully crafted flowers, trees, pavilions, eaves, rockeries, and pools. The idle person carefully observed everything, occasionally stopping to sit quietly when she found the scenery pleasing, which greatly surprised the servants coming and going.
“My lord, is there something wrong with this flower…”
Master Yu, who had been growing flowers for the Qu family for decades, was used to this. During the flowering season, occasionally receiving praise from the master was considered an honor. Unexpectedly, this lord who had been bedridden for a month and hardly left the courtyard had now wandered through the entire mansion’s garden. Just now, seeing him working the soil, the lord had walked over, silently watching for a long time, leaving him unsure of the lord’s thoughts and speaking cautiously.
