Stupid family members

I almost fainted again.

I'm definitely doomed.

Is this a karma?

But I don't remember being an awful person in my last life.

Unless being a divorce lawyer is a bad thing, but I don't think so.

I was slightly money greedy, but that was expected from everyone who grew up poor.

"Mistress, hurry up. You need to change your clothes" little maid spoke up again.

I snapped from my thoughts and focused on her. Memory of her popped up in my head.

Oh, she is Daiyu. Maid I brought from home. She basically grew up with me.

Behind her was Chunhua and Huifen. They were palace maids temporary assigned to me. Sent to me by my aunt.

They fastly changed my clothes and accessories. Into everything plain. After all, the emperor died just moments ago. Very suddenly.

I sorted through my memories, so I can find more stuff. Especially how I ended up here.

This body's family, or now my body's, is second rate family in capital. They are powerful, but not powerful enough. Kinda veering off the edge.

Once upon a time they were famed noble family, and we still have a reputation of scholars, thanks to our ancestors. But my grandfather and my father and uncles were quite talentless. Didn't have knack for officialdom.

Luckily, my grandfather had a beautiful daughter, and she was sent to the palace fifteen years ago.

My aunt was favored for a time. She even gave birth to the little princess and was promoted to zhaoyi.

Unfortunately princess died when she was three years old.

And my aunt was kinda forgotten by the emperor.

Still, she managed to survive for all those years in the harem, so she definitely wasn't some simple character.

So, why I am in the palace now?

Well, my family started to get restless. They had zero achievements in these years, and would definitely be dropped to third rate count family soon.

They concocted a scheme.

Really, and now I have to suffer?!

Who can come to save me?

Please, send help soon~
