After transmigrating, I became a stepmother.

"Zishao, what exactly is going on?" The master asked, noticing that Gu Liunian was not as panicked as the others.

“Sir, this matter begins with this Miss Lian’er.” Gu Liunian bowed to the gentleman and began to recount the story.

It turned out that when this girl Lian'er appeared during the day, Gu Liunian felt something was wrong. How could a girl appear alone in a remote and desolate place, and then be bullied by them?

After they came to their rescue, the group ran away quickly without any hesitation, which seemed rather strange!

Years of business experience told him not to meddle in other people's business, but no one knew his thoughts or the other party's strength. He was also afraid of alerting the enemy, so he had no choice but to play along and hope that he was just overthinking things!

So, after the teacher and his classmates had all gone to sleep, he instructed the bodyguards and attendants not to fall into a deep sleep, but to work in pairs and keep a close watch at all times!

Sure enough, Lian'er's accomplices were spotted!

Having understood the whole story, the teacher nodded slightly. At the time, he felt that this student was not the type to stand idly by and watch someone die! But since he didn't know what the student was thinking, and the person had been saved, he didn't say anything more. Now it seems that he was right about the person!

Because of his trust, the gentleman was quite calm at the moment, but the others were not!

"You mean it was all a show? The fact that Miss Lian'er was bullied by them was fake, just to trick us into falling for it?" Jiang Ming looked at Gu Liunian in disbelief.

Gu Liunian gave him a look that said it was the truth, and Jiang Ming's mentality collapsed instantly!

"We kindly saved you, and you lied to us?" He looked at Lian'er angrily.

"Pah, that's because you're stupid! Someone like you, trying to pass the imperial examinations and become an official? You'd probably be a muddle-headed official!" Lian'er, abandoning her previous gentle demeanor, spat at Jiang Ming with disdain.

"You, you..." Jiang Ming was so angry by her words that he couldn't even finish his sentence and could only keep breathing heavily.

"Wimp!" Lian'er couldn't hide her contempt for him when she saw him like this.

"How did you manage to spot us?" Ignoring Jiang Ming's anger, the man stroked his beard and asked.

"You're just unlucky. Who told you all to look so rich! You just never expected that you'd get pecked in the eye by the goose that was hunting you all day!" She glanced at Gu Liunian, her expression indignant.

It seems this group of people deliberately ambushed them on this road, waiting to strike when they encountered a fat rabbit like themselves. They used every trick in the book, from feigning injury to using their charms, successfully coordinating their attack from the inside! They just didn't expect to run into someone as heartless as Gu Liunian, leaving them with no choice but to follow him!

Thinking of this, everyone broke out in a cold sweat. If Lian'er and the others' plan had really succeeded, they would have been robbed of everything! The consequences would have been unimaginable. Everyone couldn't help but look at Gu Liunian with gratitude. Thank goodness he was there!

"Why are you doing such shameless things here? You are all able-bodied people, can't you find a proper way to make a living?"

The man voiced everyone's question, since these people all looked to be in their prime and fully capable of supporting themselves!

"Ha, it's easy to say. If everything were as you say, there wouldn't be so many beggars and vagrants in the world!" Lian'er looked at the people's expressions of agreement and thought they were fools who didn't know the hardships of ordinary people, so she couldn't help but mock them.
