Quick Transmigration: My System is a Big Liar

"Okay." Du Yuejiao nodded and returned to the inn. She was still a little curious about where Shi Xiao had taken the borrowed money.

But Shi Xiao didn't say anything, and of course she couldn't ask.

Not far from the two, at a small stall, a young woman stared intently at them, her eyes filled with a strong sense of gossip.

Upon learning that the two had entered the inn in the same carriage, his eyes shone even brighter.

A widow whose husband died on their wedding night, and a rough, uneducated man who couldn't find a wife.

One is a jinx to her husband, the other is a jinx to her relatives.

When did you all get together?

They're quite a good match. She needs to rush back to the village that night to tell everyone the news.

"Are you going to buy it or not? It's just a two-cent hair accessory, and you've been looking at it for almost half an hour." The vendor frowned, somewhat impatient.

This person is really strange. He asked a lot of questions. How could he tell the real flower from a two-coin hair ornament?

"Buy it!" The woman tossed down two coins, threw the hair ornament into the basket, and ran home excitedly, as if she had found a treasure. The vendor was completely baffled. Had he sold the hair ornament at a loss?

Du Yuejiao was unaware of all this, as she was sweating profusely in the space. She hadn't practiced her swordsmanship for many days and felt quite rusty.

Early the next morning.

Inside the clinic, Qiu Niang's family had already prepared everything and were waiting for the lady's arrival.

The man was covered in bandages and looked somewhat uneasy. The doctor said he had both external and severe internal injuries and would need to rest for several months to recover. But how could a servant who had sold himself into servitude have time to rest?

Qiu Niang also looked worried. The lady had kindly saved them, taken Peng Ge and his daughter to see a doctor, and even bought them clothes and food. How could she possibly bring up the matter of resting again?

But the doctor said that if Peng's injury isn't properly cared for, it might worsen.

The two little girls, whose faces were still a bit pale, stood obediently beside their parents, without making a fuss.

When Du Yuejiao arrived, it was the two little girls who noticed her standing at the door of the ward and tugged at Qiu Niang's sleeve.

"Madam, you've arrived." Qiu Niang hurriedly pulled her two daughters to kowtow to Du Yuejiao. "Brother Peng, great news! Second news! Madam saved our family yesterday. Madam is our mistress and our family's benefactor."

The man struggled to get up and try to bow to Du Yuejiao, but he was too badly injured to get up for a long time.

"Get up quickly, don't kneel down so easily. Country folk don't care about such things." Du Yuejiao helped the two children up and said to the man who was still struggling to get up, "If you're injured, just take good care of yourself. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

On the way back, Qiu Niang drove the carriage, and the rest of the people sat inside. Fortunately, the carriage was big enough, so it wasn't too crowded.

I learned from Brother Peng that his surname was Yang, his given name was Peng, and his wife, Yang Qiuniang, was his childhood bride. The two of them were bodyguards at a certain security escort agency in Hengzhou City. Because he offended someone, he was severely injured and sold to the human market along with his family.

After changing hands several times, the children arrived in the prefectural city. The two 10-year-old daughters were so frightened by the news that they were going to be sold to a brothel that they developed a high fever that wouldn't go down, and they couldn't get better even after seeing a doctor.

In the end, the market abandoned the family, intending to let them fend for themselves. After all, they were given away for free; if they died, so be it. If they were lucky enough to survive, they could earn a few more taels of silver.

This is how the scene Du Yuejiao witnessed occurred.

Qiu Niang held her child and kept kowtowing to the shopkeeper at the market, begging him to help her find another doctor to save her child, but the shopkeeper refused.

“I live in a rural village. There are few people in my family, and we don’t have much work to do. Just focus on recovering. We’ll talk about health later.”

"This servant thanks you, Madam, thank you, Madam." Yang Peng said gratefully, thanking her repeatedly.

Du Yuejiao was playing with a stone in her hand and said calmly, "Let me make this clear from the start: if you dare to do anything disloyal, I won't take it lying down."

As soon as she finished speaking, the stone was crushed into powder, and a slender hand reached out of the window, scattering the powder into the air.

The father and his two daughters unconsciously swallowed hard and quickly replied, "Madam is a great benefactor to our family. We would never betray her. Although we have never been to school, we would never do anything so disloyal."

Shi Xiao was also startled; he couldn't possibly crush a stone with his bare hands. It was too terrifying; he knew he couldn't afford to offend Sister Du so easily in the future.

If Du Yuejiao could hear what they were thinking, she would definitely laugh out loud. Even if she had taken the Power Pill, without profound internal strength, she couldn't crush a stone with her bare hands.

She had tampered with this stone last night and prepared it in advance, just to intimidate people today.

Seeing the expressions on their faces, Du Yuejiao knew that the effect was quite good. If they ever dared to betray their master in the future, she would definitely let them know why the flowers were so red.

Du Yuejiao didn't notice Shi Xiao's expression; otherwise, she would definitely have regretted using this method.

They rested once along the way. Qiu Niang used an earthenware pot to boil water for everyone, stewed pork rib soup, made cold wild vegetable salad, and ate it with flatbread for lunch.

Du Yuejiao didn't need to lift a finger; Qiu Niang and her two daughters took care of everything perfectly.

Having lived in ancient times for so long, this was the first time Du Yuejiao had ever enjoyed such a wait-and-see treatment. Qiu Niang's cooking skills were quite good, and this feeling was simply wonderful.

After resting for a while, the group continued their journey. Because there was a patient in the car, they did not travel fast. By the time they returned to Niujia Village, it was already dark.

Normally, by this time, most villagers would be resting, and there would be hardly any passersby in the village. Du Yuejiao stopped Shi Xiao from getting off the bus early.

To everyone's surprise, before the carriage even reached the village entrance, they found two rows of elderly women sitting there, chatting animatedly about something exciting.

There were only a dozen meters left, and it was too late to get out of the car now.

Upon seeing the carriage approaching from afar, they excitedly gathered around it.

Whom are you looking for in our village?

"You look unfamiliar to me. You're not from any of the nearby villages, are you?"

Are you here to visit relatives?

"You're amazing! A woman can drive a horse-drawn carriage too. My husband should take a good look at this and see if he dares to say again that women are only for giving birth."

"Hahaha, is what you said wrong, sir? You're not meant to have babies."

"Go, go, go."

Amidst the chatter, Qiu Niang was surrounded by the crowd. Not knowing the situation, she dared not speak rashly and simply smiled without answering.

Seeing that she couldn't hide any longer, Du Yuejiao lifted the curtain and came down to greet everyone. Before leaving, she gave Shi Xiao a wink, signaling him to stay put.

When women are arguing, men will only suffer if they get involved.

"Oh! It's Miss Wu! Where's Shi Xiao? Why isn't he coming down? Is he shy?" An old woman was about to lift the curtain when Aunt Wang stopped her.

"Let's hear what the Wu family has to say first."
