Chapter 1: Dressed as a Farm Girl
When Gu Leyou woke up, it was already bright outside. The sunlight shining into her eyes was so bright that she raised her hands to cover them.
"Where is this?" She sat up despite the pain and rubbed her forehead.
Didn’t I fall down while picking herbs in Shennongjia? Not dead yet? Saved? Who saved you? Where were you rescued?
A series of questions came to his mind one after another, making Gu Leyou's already chaotic mind even more confused.
"What do you think of this Gu Leyou? She's already engaged, but she's still flirting with other men out there. She's really bringing shame to the Gu family." Before Gu Leyou could figure out what was going on, she heard gossip coming from outside the door.
Gu Leyou was full of questions. How could he get engaged on his own? Hooking up with a wild man? What the hell? Could it be that...
An idea suddenly occurred to her, and she carefully observed the environment in the room again. The furniture styles and house structures here really don’t look like modern things... I’m afraid I really have experienced the legendary time travel!
It seemed that he had figured out the crux of the problem, and the messy information in his mind also found its home. Those were the memories of the original owner.
The original owner of this body had the same name and surname as her, and was born in Gujia Village, Youzhou City, Yan State. She had previously been engaged to Zeng Sibai from the same village. Yesterday she received an invitation from Zeng Sibai to meet at the riverside. Today she showed up on time, but didn't see anyone. She also felt dizzy and fell into a coma for unknown reasons. She didn't know anything about what happened afterwards.
"Are you awake?" Gu Leyou had just figured out the original owner's experience when the door rang and a plainly dressed but handsome man walked into the room.
The man had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, regular facial features, a straight and strong posture, and a bow and arrow on his back, looking like a hunter. But Gu Leyou could sense a hint of murderous intent from him, and inexplicably felt that someone like him going hunting was like using a butcher knife to kill a chicken.
"Who are you?" Gu Leyou asked back, guessing that this person was the wild man that those people outside the door were talking about. But considering her looks, what's the harm in hooking up with her?
"My name is Lu Ting. I saw you fainted by the river, so I rescued you." Lu Ting said concisely.
"Then who are those outside..." Gu Leyou pointed outside the door. The gossip continued to pour in through the crack in the door.
"They are just idle people watching the fun." Lu Ting was obviously not interested in their existence. "The innocent are innocent. You don't need to pay attention to them."
Although Lu Ting and Gu Leyou were not familiar with each other, those who came outside to watch the fun said that they were having an affair, which was of course not true.
"Oh, right." Lu Ting remembered something and added, "It seems your brother is outside too. He wants to take you home. Go find him."
Gu Leyou didn't expect him to see the guest off so quickly. After hesitating for a moment, he still bowed and said, "Thank you for saving my life. I will repay you if I have the chance in the future."
Gu Leyou pushed the door open and walked out, not hearing Lu Ting's hard response without even turning his head, "No need."
As soon as he went out, Gu Leyou regretted it. As luck would have it, she actually had her period today, and there were some noticeable bloodstains on her clothes.
But she was already out, and she couldn't go back to borrow some clothes.
"Sister!" At this moment, a thin man squeezed in from the crowd of onlookers, and spoke in a somewhat weak voice, "Sister, you are okay! I am here to take you home."
Gu Leyou recognized that this was her younger brother Gu Leshu, who was timid and cowardly by nature and was most afraid of getting into trouble.
She looked her brother up and down, and saw that he was wearing thin clothes and had nothing to cover himself with, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk forward, "Let's go home."
She pulled Gu Leshu and left, escaping from everyone's sight. Even so, the bloodstains on her clothes still attracted everyone's attention.
"Look, there's blood on her clothes."
"That's right, what a disgrace."
"The Gu family has completely lost face now."
…
"Sister, are you really with...with Brother Lu..." Gu Leshu also heard these words and asked cautiously.
"No." Gu Leyou answered neatly without waiting for him to finish his question.
"Oh." Gu Leshu didn't dare to ask any more questions. He lowered his head and said nothing.
When they returned home, their parents didn't say much. They just told Gu Leyou to have a good rest with a worried look on their faces. The old couple sat together and sighed.
Gu Leyou wanted to explain something, but looking at the extremely depressing atmosphere at home, he felt that it was pointless to say anything, so he simply gave up. It is more important to get a good night's sleep and think about how to live a good life in the future.
While taking a shower at night, Gu Leyou discovered a red rash on his arm, which looked like an allergy symptom. Seeing that it was not serious, she ignored it and went to sleep peacefully.
The next morning, just as Gu Leyou got up, an angry voice came from her yard, "I didn't expect she would be such an unruly woman! I want to cancel the engagement!"
When Gu Leyou pushed the door open, he saw his parents surrounding an angry man, looking very humble. The man didn't care about the old people's face at all, and shouted loudly, as if he was afraid that the neighbors couldn't hear that he was there to break off the engagement.
"Mom and Dad, you guys go back and have some rest first. I will handle my own issues myself." Gu Leyou has a straightforward personality and he always takes responsibility for his own actions. Since the scandal was caused by himself, it has nothing to do with his parents.
"How dare you come out to see me?" Zeng Sibai raised his voice an octave higher when he saw Gu Leyou, "You slut, you're flirting with other women out there. Whoever marries you will be in trouble! I don't want a dirty woman like you!"
Gu Leyou was still thinking about whether she should have a good explanation with her fiancé last night, but she didn't expect that he would be such a person when she saw him today. It would be a good idea to cancel the engagement. She didn't want to marry such a scumbag.
"When you speak, you need evidence. You accuse me of having affairs. Do you have any evidence?" Gu Leyou took a few steps forward, his momentum not weaker at all.
Zeng Sibai blinked, a little surprised. In his impression, Gu Leyou was a good-looking but weak-willed woman who was the easiest to bully. Why was it that today... it was as if she had become a completely different person?
"I fainted by the river and was rescued by someone. It would have been fine if you didn't thank that benefactor for saving my life, but you indiscriminately accused my benefactor and I of doing something wrong. You have always considered yourself a gentleman, but let me ask you, can your behavior be considered the behavior of a villain?" Gu Leyou said aggressively.
According to the original owner's recollection, Zeng Sibai was a scholar. He was quite popular among girls because of his handsome appearance and upright behavior. Because of his engagement, the original owner was also envied by many girls.
Now it seems that he really read too much and turned out to be a hypocrite. The girls who fell in love with him probably didn't have a clear vision.
"Don't you want to cancel the engagement? Fine, but remember, it was me, Gu Leyou, who canceled your engagement." Gu Leyou didn't even give Zeng Sibai a chance to reply, "I am innocent and I won't marry a hypocrite!"
