Quick Transmigration: My System is a Big Liar

Shi Xiao ate very quickly, but it didn't look bad at all. Instead, it gave the impression that the food was very delicious and appetizing.

Du Yuejiao only drank some soup; the rest went into Shi Xiao's stomach.

Shi Xiao couldn't find his clothes in the cave, so he mustered his courage and asked, "My clothes?"

"Oh! The clothes! Wait here." Du Yuejiao slapped her forehead, only then remembering that she had washed the clothes casually last night and they were still in her space. She had forgotten about them when she came out this morning.

After leaving the cave, she took out the clothes from her spatial storage, including the outfit she had worn yesterday.

She carried a bundle, which did indeed contain clothes, so she wasn't afraid of Shi Xiao's suspicion.

"Thank you, Sister Du."

Du Yuejiao handed the clothes to Shi Xiao, then turned her back and packed the clothes into her bundle. Hearing the address, she raised an eyebrow. Didn't Shi Xiao always call her Sister Wu? Why did he change it to Sister Du today?

"Don't worry, I'll take responsibility." In a short period of time, Shi Xiao thought about many things, from being shy at the beginning to being calm now.

???

Du Yuejiao was completely confused. What was she responsible for?

It does not make sense!

“When we get back to the village, I’ll ask Uncle Shi and Aunt Wang for help with the wedding arrangements. I’ve saved up some money over the years, so I definitely won’t let you suffer.”

After taking the knife for Du Yuejiao, Shi Xiao was certain of his feelings. He had unknowingly given his heart to Du Yuejiao, and it would probably be hard to get it back. Now he just wanted to follow his heart.

Ah!

Du Yuejiao immediately understood and quickly waved her hand, "Brother Shi Xiao, no,"

"Du Meizi, don't worry. Although I, Shi Xiao, am a rough man and not good at saying nice things, I know that a man's word is his bond. Besides, because of my injury, your innocence has been ruined, and I have to take responsibility."

Du Yuejiao said, "Really, there's no need. Brother Shi Xiao, you were injured because you saved me, so it's only right that I take care of you. You know my reputation in the village. If we're really going to talk about it, you're the one who's at a disadvantage."

"Then Sister Du, you'll have to take responsibility for me!" Shi Xiao said without hesitation, he was going to stick with her anyway.

Ah!

Du Yuejiao stared wide-eyed at the burly man in front of her, as if to say, "Are you kidding me?"

Shi Xiao was initially a little embarrassed, but since he had already said it, there was no reason to take it back. "I wasn't joking. Sister Du saw my body, so she should take responsibility for me. Doesn't Sister Du want to take responsibility?"

"No, it's just..." Du Yue's delicate face turned red. How did this man turn into a scoundrel? If she hadn't taken care of him yesterday, he probably would have been meeting the King of Hell long ago.

Shi Xiao looked like he knew it. "That's good. I knew Sister Du wasn't that kind of person. I'm waiting for you to come and marry me."

Marry him.

Is that what she thought?

"You want to marry me?" Du Yuejiao swallowed hard. It couldn't be what she was thinking, could it?

In ancient times, sons-in-law who married into a woman's family were looked down upon. Generally, any man who could survive would not easily become a son-in-law who married into a woman's family, let alone someone like Shi Xiao.

Seeing Shi Xiao nod without hesitation, Du Yuejiao really wanted to ask, "Big brother, what are you after? She may be beautiful, but she has a reputation for bringing bad luck to husbands. Aren't you afraid?"

After all, people in ancient times believed in superstitions. On the day she entered the family, the Wu family was wiped out. Even if there were other reasons, outsiders would think that she was the one who caused their deaths.

But before she could speak, she heard Shi Xiao say, "They also say I have a tough fate, that I brought death to my parents, so our fate is destined."

But there was no man in her plans!

"It's just the two of us here. If you don't say anything and I don't say anything, no one will know. It won't affect your ability to get married and have children."

Du Yuejiao didn't want to take responsibility either, mainly because she was there to complete a mission. What if she returned safely and was told that the side mission belonged to someone else? Should she get a divorce and remarry?

"Du Meizi also dislikes my appearance because I'm rough and eat a lot, so even if I'm willing to be a live-in son-in-law, you still won't marry me? Heh! I was just being delusional." Shi Xiao laughed self-deprecatingly. "Don't worry, I won't say anything bad about it and ruin your reputation."

"No, I didn't mean that."

Du Yuejiao wanted to explain, but Shi Xiao interrupted her, "Du sister, don't say anything, I want to be alone for a while."

"Then I'll go out for a walk." Du Yuejiao left the cave and, while processing the pheasant, she discovered fish in the stream. She planned to catch two fish to make soup for dinner.

Add some spiritual spring water to the fish soup tonight, and Shi Xiao's injuries should be almost healed.

In less than fifteen minutes, she arrived at the stream. The water in the stream was crystal clear, and small fish, about the size of a palm, swam around. Occasionally, she could see one or two large fish, about the length of an arm, appear and then disappear again.

She didn't rush to make a move, patiently waiting for the big fish to reappear before lifting it ashore with a single sword stroke.

After several such incidents, several large fish appeared on the shore.

Du Yuejiao then stopped, cleaned the fish, strung it with straw rope, and carried it in her hand, intending to go into the forest to find seasonings to cook the fish that evening.

She only added a tiny bit of salt to the chicken soup earlier. She was worried that Shi Xiao wouldn't have enough to eat if she only made fish soup for dinner, so she planned to stew two fish in soup and roast three fish.

After searching several hilltops, we found wild ginger, star anise, and chili peppers.

On the way back, I found a persimmon tree, the kind that bears sweet persimmons, even the green ones are sweet. I immediately climbed up, ready to pick more.

However, she did not see a pair of people approaching her. As they drew closer, she quickly entered her spatial dimension.

As they approached, before Du Yuejiao could even make out the faces of the newcomers, she heard a somewhat familiar yet worried voice.

"My lord, you haven't slept a wink for a day and a night. If you continue like this, your body won't be able to take it. I beg you, please go back and rest! I will definitely find Madam Wu and bring her back."

"No need, I'm not sleepy. We'll rest for a bit and then set off. The longer we delay, the more dangerous it will be for Madam Wu." Several groups of people searched the mountains last night, and he had to find her as soon as possible, otherwise Madam Wu and the account book would fall into the hands of thieves.

Du Yuejiao never expected that the imperial envoy would personally lead his guards to search in the forest for a day and a night. Even if it was just because of the account book, she was still very moved.

There are probably very few officials who can truly be wholeheartedly devoted to serving the people.

"My lord, are you looking for me?" Du Yuejiao asked, jumping down from the tree while holding a few sweet persimmons.

The imperial envoy rubbed his eyes, thinking he was seeing things. The person he had been searching for for a whole day and night had suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Madam Wu, it's so good to see you're alright! We were so worried about you!" Yuan Shao, the imperial envoy's personal guard, was the first to react and rushed over, sobbing.
