130 What Correlation Between Transmigration and the Fourth Miss? (1/2)

Yujia discovered that she accepted things far too easily.

It shocked her how little she considered so many things in the past— how much she ignored them— and how obviously they stood out now.

First, how did she transmigrate? She dismissed it under the fact that she had been exposed to ideas like transmigration in the past from all those television dramas and novels which constantly reused this trope, but all of this wasn't a novel or a TV show. It was real life. In reality, how was it possible for an individual to transmigrate, to cross times, and to cross worlds?

She already knew that the Xiang Empire wasn't an actual empire in history. Everything she had experienced so far, from the laughter to the conversations to the touch of death, was all too real to be just a dream or a hallucination of her mind. Science couldn't explain the scenario she was in now. Could it be that fantastical elements like transmigration could truly occur in real life, then? That some sort of magic or god of higher power truly existed in this world?

Yujia began to piece together the limited facts she did know. In her past life, she had transmigrated after getting drunk and drinking paint— which thinking back to it made her feel very foolish at her actions. In this current life and body she resided in, the previous owner had gotten drunk as well, yet there was no sign that she took any life risking actions. The previous Fourth Miss had the same name as her, but not the same body or mind.

Now that Yujia began to think carefully about these things, she discovered more and more things that simply couldn't be possible. How was it that she transmigrated into this body, but didn't share the same brain as this individual? If she was able to, then why didn't she have all the memories of the old Fourth Miss? Yujia wasn't a scientist, but she could definitely see that there was something conflicting in the current situation she was in.

Through the rest of the night, Yujia could only keep these thoughts looping in her head, trying to make some sense out of this pile of illogical logic. There was only one conclusion she could come up with.

There was no science to this all. It was pure otherworldly, incomprehensible force that brought her here. She would never be able to truly find out the reason behind it all in this lifetime.

Her acceptance of the idea that she would never be able to truly understand calmed her a little. Yet still, Yujia wanted to smooth out some of the mysteries in her life, and one of them still remained as the unresolved past of the Fourth Miss. She wanted to be able to know the exact background of the old owner of her body. It seemed like the first step to smooth out some of the problems she knew of.

The only real issue was that Yujia had no idea how she was going to find out about more of the past. She couldn't just waltz up to the Old Master, Madam Zhang, Madam Liu, or anyone else and demand for them to tell her anything when there was no reason for her to logically ask about them.

When early morning came, Yujia felt worse than normal. She didn't feel extremely down emotionally— though perhaps a little tired— but she felt sick. Very sick.

Falling into ice cold water was definitely not a good thing to do.

With tomorrow being the deadline for her payment, as well as the day of her marriage, if things didn't work out, Yujia could only feel more nervous. She felt extremely dizzy, and her legs were weak underneath her, but she still managed to get up with the aid of Hui'er. Since tomorrow was the deadline, she needed to check on the profits of Three Inks to see how things were going. Based on the progress she saw over the course of the past few days, she expected that she would have just enough taels to pay her father back.
