After being wrongly married, I stabbed my husband to death and became famous throughout the world.

After Li Shu finished speaking in a serious tone, everyone began to discuss it enthusiastically.

She was new to the area, and the younger generation was only polite to her because of the Chen siblings; the others didn't originally consider her one of them.

It wasn't until now, when the news of her being visited in a dream spread, that these people began to take Li Shu's existence seriously.

Is it true that someone is destined to be a lone star? Some people believe this, while others don't care at all.

If the destruction of a family and the death of its members are considered an omen of misfortune, then in this martial arts village, whose life is not tough?

"Cousin!" After Li Shu finished speaking, Chen Ying pulled her over. "Do you know what you're saying? Three days! What if you don't manage to throw the wooden sign up by then?!"

“Don’t think this wooden plaque is easy to throw. Every year when we pray for blessings, some people have to throw it more than ten times before they can hang it on the tree branch! How are we supposed to practice in three days? And we can’t even practice in front of the sacred tree. If others see us, your dream interpretation won’t be true anymore…” Chen Ying lowered her voice, she was getting anxious.

"Don't panic, cousin. Our priority now is to catch the person who did the wrong thing. There's no need to be nervous about anything else," Li Shu said calmly.

Her swordsmanship wasn't great, but her archery was excellent.

Her days on the mountain were quite boring. She was timid and cowardly, and dared not venture into the deep mountains. Every day, after wandering around the area, she would draw her bow and shoot arrows. That bow is now broken, and she only bought a new one a couple of days ago.

She also knew that her physique and experiences made her appear harmless.

That's why, when she shot the wooden plaque high into the air, the absurd talk about "dream transmission" seemed both mysterious and real.

So, when faced with Chen Ying's concern, she didn't tell the truth.

It just gives me a sense of resignation, like things will work themselves out in the end.

Chen Ying became even more nervous.

The bad guy needs to be caught, but what Ah Li did was a case of hurting the enemy eight hundred while losing a thousand of her own! She was filled with melancholy.

Chen Feiqing, being somewhat intelligent, began to suspect that Li Shu might actually possess some real skills.

But after staring at Li Shu for a long time, he could only come to one conclusion: Impossible!

Two years ago, Ali was a timid little girl. She couldn't even beat her younger brother Li Linsheng, let alone fight her younger sister Li Man, who was even younger than her!

How could she possibly hide her talents?!

The other children were getting anxious, so Li Shu asked his aunt, Zhu, to help him find someone to organize a banquet.

A few taels of silver could make it quite lavish and respectable, but she didn't know anything about these things, so of course she had to find someone who did.

The Zhu family is in a bit of a dilemma.

Upon receiving her husband's letter, she was overjoyed. The man's life was saved, which meant her son would also be safe. Even if her husband retired from the army when he reached old age, her son could take over the guard duty!

Such benefits are something I'd be willing to trade away my entire fortune for!

She truly never imagined that one day, Ali would be able to help her!

There are mixed feelings in my heart.

She knew her attitude was bad and that Ali definitely didn't like her, so even though she wanted to thank him, she couldn't bring herself to do it as an elder.

At this moment, when Ali took the initiative to ask her for a favor, Madam Zhu agreed almost without hesitation!

“You’ve thought of everything. It’s right to treat everyone. We’re bound to be obliged to each other. Treating everyone to a meal will help us get closer. I’ll pay for it!” Madam Zhu said gratefully.

What's the point of saying those sour things? Madam Zhu thought it would be better to just give them money directly.

Although my family is also struggling financially, how can we continue to scrimp and save for such a joyous occasion?

“It’s my own happy occasion, how could I let my aunt pay for it? I know my aunt wants to help me, so I’m shamelessly asking you to keep an eye on other things…” Li Shu chatted with Madam Zhu for a while.

Although it costs a few taels of silver to offer a treat, there are still many benefits.

She had only been there a few days, but she could already tell that Wuzhuang was a place where people valued loyalty and camaraderie because most of the inhabitants were military households.

Li Shu could understand this. After all, the army was about fighting. People from the same place and of similar age were likely to be assigned to the same battalion. They would take care of each other, trust each other, and in critical moments, they might even give their lives for these brothers in arms.

Therefore, there is internal unity.

She wants to infiltrate the inside.

However, before they can infiltrate her inner circle, there will be quite a few people waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

The next morning, Li Shu declined the invitation from the Chen siblings and went to practice martial arts with Old Yu.

Old Yu was a man who didn't concern himself with worldly affairs, but the sudden addition of an apprentice made him somewhat dazed. He began to wonder if something had changed outside, causing these young girls to be so bold and unreasonable...

While Li Shu was busy yesterday, he shamelessly strolled around Wuzhuang and overheard others talking about Li Shu.

But after eavesdropping for a while, his old brain was even less capable.

Who exactly did he take in?!

The villagers all say that this child is unwanted and has been disliked by her own father since she was a child. Now that her family is all dead and only her useless younger brother is left, she has become her nemesis and has nowhere else to go, so she came here to make a living!

But... does it look like it?!

Why did he feel that the girl in front of him was completely different from the person in the rumors?

"You...you were really seriously injured before?" Old Yu couldn't help but ask, "And even killed someone?"

Li Shu nodded.

Old Yu took a breath: "Were you bullied as a child?"

"Hmph." Li Shu raised his head, seemingly with a hint of pride.

"..." Old Yu was a little confused. Looking at her expression, he felt helpless. "Tell me honestly, with this attitude, do you think you're the type to be bullied? What's real and what's fake?!"

This is so weird!

“This doesn’t conflict with anything, Master. I was indeed a weakling before, but when I saw you practicing martial arts that day, looking so majestic, I suddenly felt that I could be like that too. So I changed. I plan to turn over a new leaf and never be bullied again…” Li Shu’s face was tense, as if he were making a vow.

"!!!" Old Yu was about to spit out blood.

No, very wrong.

This little girl is a troublemaker; you can't believe a word she says.

A person's nature is not so easy to change, unless she originally had two faces!

However, he had also seen people whose personalities changed drastically after experiencing great trauma; those people were all ill.

Old Yu wasn't sure.

"I heard you're going to adopt a dead person as your godparent, and you even said it was a ghost story in a dream. Little girl, your thoughts... are a bit ruthless, aren't they?"

"Let me tell you, I'm not one of those kids who's easily fooled. General Nie, who has long since passed away, was a hero in life. If you tarnish his reputation a hundred years after his death, how can you live with yourself?" Old Yu's expression became more serious as he continued.
