Quick Transmigration: My System is a Big Liar

“Yes, Miss.” Gu Yu nodded in agreement.

"Cousin, what exactly happened this afternoon?"

Chu Mu's question struck a chord with everyone; they also wanted to know what had happened that afternoon that had caused Chu Qing to burst into tears.

Chu Qing simply handed them the letters on the table and told them to read them themselves.

It turns out that it wasn't just Hengyang Trading Company, Third Uncle, Ji Jinnian, Brother Chao, and others, but also tens of thousands of Nansang people whose names she didn't know. They were working hard day after day for the restoration of their country, and she couldn't let them down, much less let them down.

Revenge and restoration of her country—this was the responsibility and mission she bore.

"Cousin, is this true?" Chu Mu could hardly believe his eyes, his voice stammering with barely perceptible trepidation.

So they were all citizens of the Southern Sang Kingdom, and the aunt was the empress? The cousin, Chu Qing, was a princess?

Yang Chao took the letter, and Song Jingyuan and the others immediately crowded around it, eager to know what was written in the letter.

The way Song Jingyuan and the others looked after reading the letter was exactly the same as Chu Mu's back then.

Only Yang Chao remained calm, as if he had known all along.

After a brief moment of surprise, they said indignantly,

"Is the leader a princess of the Southern Sang Kingdom?"

"I never imagined that such an ugly face was hidden beneath their sanctimonious facade."

“Miss, I support your restoration of the kingdom and your revenge for the Emperor and Empress.”

"..."

Chu Qing remained silent throughout, leaving everyone wondering what she was thinking.

Yang Chao glanced at everyone and warned, "Don't talk about what happened tonight. Miss's true identity cannot be revealed yet. You all need to keep your mouths shut, or you know the worst punishment in the stronghold."

After giving them a pep talk, Yang Chao gave everyone a treat, saying, "As long as Miss succeeds in restoring the country, everyone here will be a founding hero. At that time, you will enjoy endless fame, fortune, and glory."

Chu Mu stated directly, "Cousin, I will absolutely not tell anyone."

Bai Lu and Gu Yu exchanged a glance, then knelt before Chu Qing, saying, "We swear to follow Miss to the death."

Song Jingyuan knelt down without hesitation.

Xie Qi swore directly, "I, Xie Qi, will not do anything unfaithful, much less betray Chu Qing. May anyone who breaks this oath be struck by lightning."

Qin Jing looked at Chu Qing and said seriously, "Husband and wife are one, and Qingqing will always be number one in my heart."

Chu Qing helped each of them up. "Alright, get up! Of course I trust you, otherwise I wouldn't have let you know. It's getting late, go and rest! We'll leave Silvermoon City when the city gates open tomorrow."

"Yes, ma'am."

"You guys should also go to bed early."

Yang Chao led everyone out.

The next morning, the gates of Silvermoon City opened, and people could enter and exit as usual. The murderer was naturally not caught, and the toll at the city gate was also cancelled.

Because the city lord was killed, one of the charges on the notice of apology at the city gate was the illegal collection of entry fees.

The other officials were terrified and kept a low profile, fearing they would become the next target.

After packing their luggage, Chu Qing and the others prepared to leave. Yang Chao was worried and planned to accompany them personally. As for the new manager of Tianxia Diyi Lou, he would arrive no later than tomorrow.

Three carriages, two for passengers and one for luggage.

They left with several times more belongings than they had brought.

Apart from what they bought in the past few days, everything else was prepared by Yang Chao's people—food, drinks, daily necessities, clothes, and accessories.

Just before setting off, Chu Qing stopped Yang Chao, who was about to board the carriage, and asked, "Brother Chao, would you like to reconsider? I really won't act impulsively, and I certainly won't seek revenge against them in private. I know the gravity of the situation."

Yang Chao asked with a smile, "Miss, do you not want me to come along?"

Chu Qing said, "No, I was just afraid of delaying your business."

"You don't need to worry about these ladies. My current task is to protect their safety."

Seeing this, Chu Qing stopped trying to persuade him.

Fine!

You're the boss, so you get to decide.

The carriage successfully left the city and headed towards the next town, Jinzhou.

After a day's journey, the carriage stopped outside a dilapidated temple at dusk.

They only saw a few small villages along the way that day, and did not find any towns. If it weren't for the fact that this was the only road to the west, they would have thought they had taken the wrong turn.

Thanks to Yang Chao, they enjoyed a delicious dinner of roasted meat and several cold dishes, and everyone ate until they were stuffed.

Chu Mu rubbed his stomach and exclaimed, "Brother Chao, your cooking skills are simply amazing. It's just a pity I'm not a girl, otherwise I would definitely stick to Brother Chao."

Chu Qing: ...

This idea is a bit dangerous. Does my second uncle know about it?

Chu Qing couldn't help but wonder if she was not doing a good enough job as an older sister, otherwise why would her younger brother want to rely on a man just for a bite to eat?

Her cooking skills are quite good, but she just didn't have the chance to use them in this world.

Song Jingyuan: ...

That's really something, is it worth it just for a bite?

The White Dew and Grain Rain seasons are also quite speechless.

How come they hadn't noticed this characteristic of Chu Mu before?

Startled, Yang Chao took a few steps back and moved behind Chu Qing and the others before stopping.

"Xiao Mu! If you like it, I'll make it for you again in the future, but don't try to cling to me like that. After all, I don't like you doing this, and there's no point in you insisting."

Hahaha

Upon hearing this, everyone burst out laughing. Chao Ge is too funny!

She knew perfectly well that Chu Mu didn't mean it that way; he just simply liked to eat.

Chu Mu understood, of course, and said nonchalantly, "Brother Chao, you said it yourself! I want to eat roast chicken and roast fish for dinner next time."

Chu Qing looked at Chu Mu with disdain, "You're so unambitious. I'll let you experience my cooking skills tomorrow. I guarantee that next time you're craving something, the first thing you'll think of is your sister, not anyone else."

"Really?" Chu Mu obviously didn't believe that his cousin, who had never been in the kitchen, could really cook.

Chu Qing squinted and asked, "You don't believe me, kid?"

Chu Mu shook his head honestly.

"I believe in Qingqing." Qin Jing blindly believed; in his eyes, Chu Qing was omnipotent.

Chu Qing praised, "Ah Jing has good taste, unlike some people who only know how to eat."

Chu Mu understood perfectly well that his cousin was talking about him. Just as he was about to explain, he heard the sound of horses' hooves approaching from afar.

Judging from the sound of horses' hooves, there should be three or four people approaching.

It was late at night, in the middle of nowhere.

The group immediately became alert and instinctively surrounded Chu Qing and Qin Jing.
