Female martial arts fanatics only love to fight, while men fight for their lives.

Manager Liu of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion could not control his gaze, which kept falling on the woman at the top.

She has beautiful facial features, very fair skin, clear eyebrows and eyes like a painting, slightly pursed red lips, and a cold look on her face.

She had no hair accessories and her clothes were very simple, but it only highlighted her beautiful features. No wonder she couldn't take her eyes away.

The woman asked in disbelief, "Say it again?"

Manager Liu adjusted his state and repeated what he had just said, "Please return to the capital to recognize your ancestors and resume your status as a young lady of the Zhenguo Mansion."

Lou Xiao looked her and the maid behind her up and down with suspicion, and her understanding of this world deepened.

When she traveled through time, this body was still small and had practiced martial arts in the mountains for many years.

A few years ago, I lost my only relative, my grandmother, and my elderly master. My senior sister also went down the mountain to inherit the family business.

She returned to her small mountain village, took the fertile land left to her by her grandmother, and became a small landlord with money, beauty and free time.

She realized later that this was a world where men and women were relatively equal, strength was respected, and that the current Majesty was the Queen.

There are many women who are the heads of the household, but──

"I'm just a small country landlord. I don't know where the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is. You may have come to the wrong place." Lou Xiao looked serious and waved to see the guest off, thinking that these scammers were really daring.

This was just like what she had heard in her previous life, about Qin Shi Huang wanting to unseal the treasury. It was so fake.

Manager Liu hurriedly stopped them and immediately led everyone to kneel down, "We are not in the wrong place! Miss is the only female heir of the Zhenguo Mansion. Please come with us to the capital."

Lou Xiao propped up the table with one elbow, looking relaxed, "If you say so, then so? How do I know if what you said is true or not?"

Manager Liu handed over a book with the seal of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion. Lou Xiao flipped through it casually. How could she tell the real thing from the fake? "This kind of thing is easy to fake."

This sentence made Manager Liu so angry that he almost rolled his eyes, "How can the seal of the Zhenguo Mansion be fake?!"

"As long as you follow us to the capital, you can immediately be granted the title of Princess, or even the title of Duke..."

"There's no one left in your house? Can you seal it off just like that?"

"Don't you want your family to live better? Even your mother doesn't want to be honored?"

"She got married a long time ago."

"When you go to the capital, you will find many good men, all of whom are better than those in this rural area!"

"I'm not interested in men. They're boring."

……

Manager Liu finally realized that this young lady didn't believe her at all!

Otherwise, how could someone abandon the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion and stay in this small manor!

"What do you want me to do to make you believe me..."

Lou Xiao picked up a piece of melon from the fruit plate in the hands of the maid Jiubai, and it tasted crisp and refreshing.

She looked at Manager Liu's bitter face and said with a smile, "Why don't you tell me first, how am I related to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion?"

She asked Jiubai to bring her a plate of melons. It was rare to have some fun in the small village, so she just treated it as a pastime.

She really wanted her fellow villagers outside the manor to come in, eat melons and watch the show.

The fat steward wiped the sweat off his face, thanked his master softly, carefully picked up a piece of melon, cleared his throat after eating it, and recounted the events of the past.

Lou Xiao listened casually and got the general idea.

According to this person, her mother, whom she had never met, was eager to climb up the social ladder when she was young, and she actually hooked up with the prince of the Duke of Zhenguo.

It was just that his rank was not high enough, so he could not enter the palace and was sent away with silver.

He lived here, gave birth to her, left her to her father, and then married far away and never heard from her again.

It’s a very old-fashioned plot, and it also labels her as an illegitimate daughter.

"The capital is so prosperous, how can such a graceful lady be buried in the countryside..."

When she was young and ignorant in her previous life, she had dreamed of a wealthy family recognizing her relatives. But now that she encountered the ancient version of a wealthy family recognizing her relatives, Lou Xiao just wanted to laugh.

"I'm not the richest person in a 10-mile radius. Why did you choose me?" She still felt it was a scam. "Because I'm younger?"

… Manager Liu felt like he was going to have a heart attack. “Everything I said is true! Miss, please explain clearly!”

There's no way Lou Xiao would believe a bunch of words that can't be verified!

"Change your target," she told Jiubai with a smile, "Send them out, and share the melons with the villagers outside the door."

Now that the fun is over, go do what you need to do.

Manager Liu was about to speak again, but Lou Xiao's expression turned cold. "If you say anything more, I'll report you to the police. How many lives do you have to pay for your crimes by using the name of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion in the capital to defraud people?"

When it comes to reporting to the police, they calm down instead. "Miss, you can report to the police and see if the seal in this old slave's hand is real or fake."

Lou Xiao was skeptical and told Jiubai to do as she said, but Manager Liu's calm appearance made her begin to have some doubts in her heart.

Is there really such a ridiculous thing?

"Once the officials come, it will be difficult for you to leave." Lou Xiao warned. She didn't want to cause trouble, but trouble had to find her, so she would not be polite.

The atmosphere in the small hall suddenly became cold and heavy.

At this time, a servant ran in from outside the manor with his head down, leaned close to Manager Liu and whispered a few words in his ear.

She immediately recovered her vitality and became full of energy. She looked at the woman at the top with bright eyes, "Miss, if you don't believe me, I can do it, but you still have to go to the capital!"

Lou Xiao raised her eyebrows, "What's the matter?" Can he still drag her away?

"His Majesty's imperial edict is on its way at full speed. You will know the result after a while." Manager Liu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling inexplicably relieved.

Why is there another imperial edict?

Lou Xiao felt that something was not right, as if it was beyond her understanding.

In fact, even if what the manager said was true, she didn't want to get involved in the muddy waters of the wealthy and powerful.

She doesn't like intrigues and conspiracies, doesn't want to be hypocritical with "relatives" she has never met, doesn't want to be used as a pawn in a marriage, and be tied down and trapped deeper and deeper.

The small countryside is wonderful, peaceful and free.

She can lie under the grape trellis all day to bask in the sun, go hiking whenever she wants, and go wherever she wants to travel.

Since she came here through time and space, she discovered that her young body had an excellent talent for martial arts, and she never slacked off.

It is to protect your own safety and to travel to famous mountains, rivers, lakes and seas.

It was an era without any restrictions on women, and they had some wealth, which was a freedom that was unimaginable in previous lives.

As for getting married?

Now her senior sister is her only relative. If she doesn’t want to, who can do anything to her?

The life she had planned for herself had not even begun, so how could she give up just because of an unexpected event that looked like a conspiracy?

But she could push away the troubles of her background, but she could not challenge the authority of this world.

If the imperial edict was true, she would have to go even if she didn't want to.

She didn't know if her senior sister would take her in if she ran away for disobeying her orders.

By the way, it seems that senior sister’s home is in the capital?

Then don't cause trouble for her.
