This data in Quick Transmigration has become sentient!

Although Liang Churen, who was tied up, looked like he had been beaten badly, judging from his still struggling spirit, he should have only suffered some superficial injuries.

Considering that her younger sister had no injuries other than the ligature marks, which must have been specifically instructed to do so, Yi Yi felt that the upcoming negotiations should be a sure thing.

After everyone had left, before Yi Yi could figure out what to say, Ma Yuliang spoke first: "Patriarch Zhu, you... are indeed a woman, right?"

Since he went straight to his goal, Yi Yi didn't hesitate and turned around to give a soft "hmm".

Unexpectedly, Ma Yuliang suddenly rushed towards her, almost touching her face as he carefully examined Yi Yi's features.

Yi Yi was a little startled and took a half step back, but she quickly realized that he just wanted to observe her carefully, so she stood still.

I'm still a little embarrassed...

After a short while, Yi Yi slowly turned her head, reached out and stopped Ma Yuliang's face from getting closer and closer, and said helplessly, "Young Marshal Ma, just ask him what you want to say, there's no need to go to such lengths."

Upon hearing this, Ma Yuliang blushed instantly, his reaction even stronger than that of Yi Yi, the one being stared at.

He took two steps back abruptly, scratched his face, and asked somewhat embarrassedly, "So... the person I saw in the Zhu family courtyard that day was you, the head of the Zhu family?"

“It’s me.” Yi Yi reached out and rubbed her Adam’s apple, then took it off and continued, “I didn’t expect you to still remember this. I’m sorry for the misunderstanding.”

"No, no, no, there's no need to apologize. It's my fault for being too hasty and immediately concluding that you are the eldest daughter of the Zhu family." Hearing Yi Yi's apology, Ma Yuliang felt a moment of panic for some reason.

Even though his analysis was perfectly sound from his perspective, he immediately took all the blame upon himself.

Yi Yi was speechless for a moment, but quickly said, "Young Marshal Ma, please ask me any questions you have. I will tell you everything."

Upon hearing Yi Yi's words, Ma Yuliang was taken aback. He had already asked the question he was most concerned about, and it seemed that he had no other questions.

but……

Ma Yuliang secretly glanced at Yi Yi, whose face was serious, his mind racing. Suddenly, he realized a question that any normal person would be concerned about: "Why...why are you dressed as a man?"

"It's a long story, but to put it simply, for the sake of our family's stability, I was arranged to be dressed as a man from birth."

"Ah...I see."

I didn't understand at all; I just agreed without trying to make Yi Yi think I was stupid.

Yi Yi sighed and looked at Ma Yuliang, who had become inexplicably clear-headed and foolish ever since he confirmed his gender. She still took pity on him and explained seriously: "When I was born, our family's status was being challenged. In order to consolidate our position, my mother lied and said that she had given birth to the eldest son. So I was required to dress as a boy from a young age and live as the eldest son of the Zhu family."

Seeing Ma Yuliang staring blankly at her, Yi Yi felt somewhat discouraged.

But I don't intend to explain anything further.

She continued reciting her prepared statement: "This is the biggest secret between my sister and me; we must never tell anyone."

Upon hearing this, Ma Yuliang finally reacted: "Then what do you do now..."

“I’m telling you this secret so that you have something on you.” Yi paused and then said, “I hope you can do me a favor.”

"Don't bring up the issue of helping or not, just ask whatever you want."

Looking at Ma Yuliang in front of him, who seemed to have been given a mentally challenged aura and was just short of clapping his hands and saying "Aba aba".

Yi Yi suddenly realized that all her previous preparations had been a waste of time.

There's no need to keep testing them.

Although I knew that love affects IQ, I didn't expect it to be so obvious in Ma Yuliang, who was so familiar with data.

Yi Yi rubbed her throbbing temples and, abandoning further preamble, directly stated her request: "I hope you won't cancel your engagement with Xiao Xiao."

"Huh? Why?" Ma Yuliang seemed genuinely puzzled by Yi Yi's words.

“The Zhu family’s situation is still very complicated. Canceling the engagement now would shake up the Zhu family’s internal situation.” Yi Yi raised her head and looked directly at him. “As my ally, I believe that Commander Ma would not want to see you and Xiao Xiao break off your engagement.”

"But……"

Seeing that Ma Yuliang seemed to have other ideas, Yi Yi asked, "You weren't just thinking about something ridiculous like changing your engagement to me, were you?"

"Can't I?" Ma Yuliang asked innocently, leaving Yi Yi at a loss for words.

She rubbed her hands together, then gently touched her forehead and sighed, "How could such a thing be possible? To outsiders, I'm a real man!"

“As long as you regain your female identity, that’s fine!” Ma Yuliang said matter-of-factly. “Anyway, with the Marshal’s Mansion behind you, it won’t matter if you’re a woman.”

Yi Yi gave Ma Yuliang a deep look, and couldn't help but feel unhappy: "You think it's so simple. You really don't know how much prejudice a woman has to suffer in this era."

Although I've only played three games, I can actually sense that the so-called "Aiyi" data has an impact on later characters, but it doesn't seem to change the core of the character.

If you really want to put it simply, it's about getting the character who is...infected? to have 100% affection for her. The specific way the character is portrayed is still based on the character's own personality.

As for Ma Yuliang... as one of the top tiers in the game's lore, his thinking in certain aspects is far too presumptuous.

To put it bluntly, he's a bit of a chauvinist.

Although not as obvious as his father, Ma Dashuai, it can still be clearly seen from some unintentional actions.

Because the game was released relatively early, this wasn't considered a major flaw at the time.

After all, although he requires the female lead to listen to him in most matters, he also takes responsibility himself.

Make decisions on everything, and resolve everything.

Not to mention, given the historical context, he has already granted them considerable freedom and respect.

only……

"From my own perspective, Ai Yi and Xi Ze are still the cutest..." Yi Yi murmured softly.

Ma Yuliang didn't hear clearly, but seeing that Yi Yi seemed to be in a bad mood, he didn't dare to say anything more, and his eyes turned red with anxiety.

Yi Yi observed his behavior and sighed almost imperceptibly.

Thinking to myself: it seems that it's not true that he wasn't affected by "Aiyi," at least Ma Yuliang wouldn't show this half-crying expression.

I really need to change this bad habit of venting my frustrations on people who care about me.

Admittedly, Ma Yuliang does have an arrogance in his bones, unaware that he has taken full advantage of the times. But how could Yi Yi, who is so familiar with the game Liangzhu, suddenly find him so annoying that she wears her face on her hand?

She already knew his character, and of the two people she was trying to win over, she preferred Ma Yuliang. Her current frustration was obviously more due to the bad mood caused by the suppressed emotions she had when she thought the plot was getting out of control.

Yi Yi slapped her face hard, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw Ma Yuliang looking like he wanted to step forward to stop her but didn't dare to.

Suddenly my mood improved.

"I'm fine, I just wanted to say..." Yi Yi smiled at Ma Yuliang and said, "Let's talk business, Young Marshal Ma!"
