“I don’t need anyone to do what’s best for me. It’s none of our business what happens between husband and wife.” Lu Shiyan didn’t even glance at Lu Cuilan before jumping off the oxcart after saying this coldly.
Before anyone could see what he was doing, he leaped to a willow tree by the roadside, plucked a few branches from the top that hadn't yet dried out, and handed them to Jiang Tangtang.
From flying up the tree to picking the willow branch and handing it to Jiang Tangtang, the whole process was smooth and quick, completed in the blink of an eye.
The villagers of Dawancun were dumbfounded.
Several villagers who had been eyeing the pheasants on the Lu family's oxcart reluctantly gave up their desires.
Lu Cuilan, her face flushed with anger, was filled with regret. Her nephew was becoming more and more capable; she shouldn't have let her daughter be so willful in the first place.
Fang Peiru didn't even have time to cry anymore.
She was completely stunned.
She couldn't accept that her cousin would defend Jiang Tangtang so vehemently the moment she whimpered, while he wouldn't even glance at her as she cried so bitterly.
She also couldn't accept that her cousin became more and more outstanding after marrying another woman.
Meanwhile, Jiang Tangtang, the ultimate winner in life, is currently holding a willow branch and interrogating the system, asking if the male lead has feelings for her.
He not only took every word she said to heart, but also defended her without hesitation.
Even if they were a real couple, not many people could do this, let alone a fake one.
How could this not be falling in love with her?
Unfortunately, to Jiang Tangtang's disappointment, the system not only said there was no such thing, but also immediately brought up the data for her.
Looking at the data of -30 impression and zero heart-fluttering value, Jiang Tangtang almost lost control of her facial expressions.
What the heck?
Yesterday it was -20, and today it's -30?
What heinous thing did she do to cause his opinion of her to plummet?
He clearly protected her so much, even preparing mosquito repellent sachets for her and painstakingly cutting bamboo to stew pigeons with bamboo sap for her to eat.
Surprisingly, I had such a bad impression of her.
What an enigmatic man!
Jiang Tangtang pouted. Forget it, a man's heart is unfathomable. She'd rather have his body than his heart.
"Host, please calm down. Don't have such dangerous thoughts." The system earnestly advised, "You need to maintain your character, complete the mission, and make the male lead fall in love with you. If you fail to complete the mission, you will not only be punished, but you will also die."
"Everyone is going to die eventually, so what's the difference between dying once and dying twice?" Jiang Tangtang resigned herself to her fate.
[Here, "death" refers to your soul disappearing from the world.]
[Stop spreading alarmist rumors.] Jiang Tangtang squinted: [Besides, that's not what you said back then. Don't try to scare me into completing the mission by threatening me; I won't fall for it.]
The system was utterly speechless. [I was afraid of scaring you if I told you, that's why I didn't dare tell the truth! Who knew you were such a lazy bum? Now I have no choice but to tell you the truth!]
【real?】
Upon receiving the system's affirmative answer, Jiang Tangtang immediately flew into a rage, mentally cursing the system:
【Why?! I'm living a perfectly fine life in the modern world. I haven't had a car accident like the transmigrated woman, nor a plane crash, nor any other accidents. Why did you drag me into a famine relief story to do missions? Now you're threatening me with my soul disappearing! You damn system, get out here, or I'll beat you to death!】
The turtle-attribute system has once again vanished.
Jiang Tangtang's anger was still hard to quell.
She glanced at Lu Shiyan, who was sitting upright, and couldn't help but wonder why his impression of her was getting worse and worse.
At this moment, Lu Shiyan did not close his eyes to cultivate. He met Jiang Tangtang's gaze, and she said she wanted to clean her mouth, but she had not touched the willow branch after receiving it.
He had witnessed the power of this woman in the past two days. He took the willow twigs, shaped them into small brushes, and handed them back to Jiang Tangtang, saying, "When we see mint, I'll pick some more for you."
Jiang Tangtang watched as he pinched one end of the willow twig into a small brush with his bare hands, and thought to herself, "Awesome!"
He truly deserves to be called a Celestial Lord.
But why does he still have such a bad impression of me when he's so considerate of me?
Are all men this twisted?
Jiang Tangtang wasn't one to hold her temper, so she decided to get to the bottom of it. "Husband, is there anything about me that you're unhappy with? If so, tell me, and I... will try to change it."
Although Lu Shiyan was focused on cultivation, he had a mischievous friend who was very knowledgeable about relationships between men and women and liked to linger in the mortal world. Thanks to this friend's constant nagging, he was always talking about how to treat women and how women were hypocritical...
Clearly, this was the question his friend had given him that could be a death sentence, and he replied firmly, "No!"
Jiang Tangtang cursed inwardly, "You have no complaints about me, so why do you have such a low impression of me?"
She tried to be gentle, "Really not? Husband, you should think about it carefully."
Lu Shiyan hesitated for a moment, but then suppressed his answer and said firmly, "No, you are fine!"
Jiang Tangtang: "..."
You big dummy!
So you think my impression of me is negative?
Jiang Tangtang, having asked nothing, turned her head away angrily and used a freshly made willow twig toothbrush to clean her mouth.
As the sun rises, the temperature begins to gradually increase.
The fleeing caravan slowed down, and the old ox pulling the cart was panting heavily. Even when whipped hard, it moved slower and slower.
Lu Shiyan jumped off the oxcart, took the ox whip from Lu Shiwang, and personally drove the ox.
When he drove the cattle, he didn't whip them, but instead fed them some grass.
I cut this grass on the mountain last night. I fed some to the cattle this morning, and put the rest on the oxcart.
Because of the hot and dry weather, the cut grass has already wilted.
However, the skinny old ox didn't mind, chewing on grass as it walked, which made it a little faster than when whipped.
Jiang Tangtang pondered for a moment as she watched Lu Shiyan's actions.
He has a very bad impression of himself. Is it because he thinks he is too selfish?
Why don't she go down and walk like him, to lighten the burden on the ox?
Just as Jiang Tangtang was trying to stretch her feet on the ground, Fang Peiru's distinctive, husky voice rang out again in the sweltering air, "Some people are really shameless, making a patient get off to drive the oxcart, while she, a good person, sits on the cart."
Jiang Tangtang immediately pulled her foot back.
How could she be so out of her mind to think that in this sweltering heat, she would rather walk than ride in a perfectly good oxcart?
Just to make a good impression on a man?
Jiang Tangtang, realizing her mistake in time, rolled her eyes at Fang Peiru, "Mind your own business!"
After saying that, amidst Fang Peiru's distorted face of anger, he calmly summoned the system: "[Pull up the map and let me see if there are any suitable places to rest along the way.]"
