Quick Transmigration: My System is a Big Liar

Du Yuejiao ultimately refused to accept the crystal sapphire hairpin. Since she couldn't give him what he wanted, she couldn't give him any hope.

Although Shi Xiao had long anticipated that Du Meizi would not accept it easily, he still couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when she actually refused.

He took back the hairpin and handed a bundle to Du Yuejiao. "Since you don't want the hairpin, I won't force you. There's a set of clothes inside, you must accept it."

Seeing his expectant eyes, and hearing that the bundle contained clothes, Du Yuejiao no longer refused and gently nodded to take it.

Not counting the clothes she made for Shi Xiao last year when she sold wild boar, she made two sets of clothes for Shi Xiao just in the cave, so it shouldn't be a big deal to accept a set of clothes from him!

Thinking about it this way, Du Yuejiao felt no longer uncomfortable.

But when she returned to her room and opened her bundle, she realized she had been making some assumptions.

Inside the bundle was a crescent-shaped phoenix-tail silk skirt. She had seen it at a clothing store before. It was beautiful, but it cost five taels of silver, so she didn't buy it. Instead, she bought a few cheaper ones.

The dress that Shi Xiao bought cost more than the dozen or so dresses she made.

Did this guy spend all those ten-odd taels of silver on gifts for her?

What a fool!

Du Yuejiao was happy, but also somewhat disappointed.

I can't help but wonder if Ping An will suddenly appear at any moment and tell her that Shi Xiao is her side quest.

Unfortunately, she waited for a long time but Ping An never appeared. Just as she was about to give up, a line of text appeared in her mind: [He is the side quest of this world.]

Does "he" refer to Shi Xiao?

[right]

. .

That night, after returning home, Du Yuejiao did not practice martial arts, but instead drifted off to sleep with a smile.

bang bang

Du Yuejiao was awakened by a knock on the door. When she looked outside, it was already bright. She had slept very soundly.

"Madam, are you up? I've come to bring you some water to wash up." A joyful voice came from outside the door.

Du Yuejiao opened the door and saw Da Xi standing respectfully at the door, holding a glass of water.

Da Xi and Er Xi are twins, ten years old this year. They look almost identical, but they can be distinguished by their personalities. Da Xi is quiet and sensible, while Er Xi is lively and active.

Du Yuejiao took the handkerchief Da Xi handed her and wiped her face. "Who's outside?"

Da Xi thought for a moment. Her mother called the person "Aunt Wang," but she didn't know her and didn't know how to address her.

"My mother called her Aunt Wang."

"Oh!"

Du Yuejiao quickened her pace, skillfully tying her hair up and securing it with a silver hairpin before leaving.

Da Xi followed behind her, saying, "Go back and rest! Come back to serve me when you're better."

"Yes, Madam." Da Xi bowed respectfully.

Du Yuejiao didn't stop her; she just thought the little girl was quite amusing because of her serious and methodical manner.

In the living room, Aunt Wang sat in a chair with a bowl of sweet soup next to her.

Du Yuejiao patted her head and realized that she had forgotten to buy tea sets and tea leaves, so when guests came to visit, Qiu Niang could only serve them sweet soup.

When Xiao Xi saw her arrive, she bowed and quietly...

Backed out.

"Du Meizi, you're up? It's all my fault. I forgot you just got back last night. You must be tired from the journey. Did I wake you up?" Aunt Wang said apologetically.

Du Yuejiao certainly didn't take these polite words seriously. "Auntie, you're too kind. I've had enough rest all night. I just didn't want to get up and stayed in bed for a while. Please forgive me."

"Du Meizi is really pretty. No wonder she's the daughter of a wealthy man. She's prettier than the girls in the village. Look at her face, so tender and delicate. I like her very much." Aunt Wang praised Du Yuejiao profusely.

This straightforward praise left Du Yuejiao speechless. She didn't understand Aunt Wang's intention. Why did she come all this way so early in the morning just to praise her?

Moreover, the way she was addressed had changed. What was he up to? It completely confused her.

After a series of straightforward compliments, Aunt Wang finally got to the point.

"Miss Du, we know each other well, so I'll just be direct. If there's anything wrong with that, please don't be angry."

"How could that be, Auntie? Tell me," Du Yuejiao said with a smile.

"Shi Xiao was in the carriage yesterday, wasn't he? You've been together these past few days. I came to ask about this matter. What are your plans?"

“Don’t think your aunt is being nosy. You know Shi Xiao’s situation. If you two are sincere, your uncle and I will help you make arrangements. A family can’t function without a man.”

Aunt Wang took a sip of the sugar water, observed Du Yuejiao's expression, and seeing no displeasure or aversion on her face, continued speaking.

"Shi Xiao is a down-to-earth and capable boy. He raised his younger siblings without complaint because of his father's last words. This shows that he is a responsible and capable man. He was just held back by his family until now."

"After your family gets married, your life will definitely get better and better."

Du Yuejiao did not deny what Aunt Wang said.

In the end, Aunt Wang didn't get the answer she wanted. Instead, she was completely confused. Remembering what Du Yuejiao had said before she left, she quickened her pace.

"Auntie, could you please pass on a message to him, asking if he still keeps his promise?"

Since Shi Xiao is just a side quest in her world, there's no need to worry about it.

If Shi Xiao finds the house unpleasant after the marriage, then sell it and rebuild a new one.

If Shi Xiao doesn't mind, then he can continue to live here.

Over the past year, she has moved many fruit tree seedlings from her space and planted them in both the front and back yards, as well as many flowers and plants.

In the evening, Shi Xiao arrived, carrying the crystal sapphire hairpin in his arms. His voice was slightly breathless, and his first words upon meeting were...

"I always keep my word, including when I married you."

He hunted a wild boar in the mountains during the day, carried it to town to sell, and then returned home. As soon as he got home, Aunt Wang rushed over, saying she wanted to pass on a message from Du Meizi, asking if she still stood by her promise.

He immediately understood what Du Meizi was asking.

Although he didn't know why Du Meizi suddenly changed her mind, his long-cherished wish was about to become a reality, so how could he refuse?

He quickly washed up, changed his clothes, and rushed over with his hairpin in hand. He wanted to tell her in person that his word would always stand.

Du Yuejiao shook her head. "Men who marry into families will be gossiped about. We should just get married normally." She didn't want Shi Xiao to feel uncomfortable about this in the future.

"I'm not afraid of what they say. As long as I can be with you, what does it matter if I marry into your family? Let them say what they want. I won't lose anything," Shi Xiao said nonchalantly.

Du Yuejiao said, "No, you may be willing to be talked about, but I am not. Why should my man be pointed at and gossiped about?"
