Ouyang Tai assumed that today's medicine had made Nian Ruoqing uncomfortable. After all, in order to successfully cultivate the perfect medicine person, the elders had given Nian Ruoqing poisons that would cause her great pain. Some of these medicines were so painful that they could cause her intestines to break.
"Don't be sad," the boy said, reaching out to take the girl's hand. "Let's sneak out and go to the back mountain!"
That was their secret base.
"If you're in too much pain to walk, I'll carry you there. I've managed to save up a lot of spirit stones there recently. Once I've saved enough, I can pay back the spirit stones I owe the Ouyang family, and then you can go home!"
Often, the less loved a child is, the more homesick they are.
Even though her parents had more than one child, their first choice was to sell Nian Ruoqing to the Ouyang family. Deep down, Nian Ruoqing still hoped that she could go home one day.
She even dreamed that one day her parents worked hard to save up enough spirit stones to come to the Ouyang family to find her. They cried and apologized to her, begging for her forgiveness, and then took her home with them...
Ouyang Tai and Ouyang Ying often comforted Nian Ruoqing and helped her save spirit stones. That way, if Nian Ruoqing's family didn't have enough spirit stones, they could use the ones they had saved to make up the difference, and Nian Ruoqing could go home sooner.
But the arrival of that day is clearly very unlikely.
These naive children thought there was hope, but the time traveler was older than them and naturally knew that their ideas were ridiculous!
How could the Ouyang family, who had invested so much effort in training Nian Ruoqing, possibly let her go so easily!
With that thought in mind, the time traveler had an idea.
Instead of being so careful to pretend to be the original owner, it would be better to use the pain that Nian Ruoqing suffered as a drug user to show a sudden change in personality. That way, even if she does something that is inconsistent with the original owner, it will not arouse suspicion.
So, the time traveler deliberately slapped Ouyang Si's hand away, feigning anger, and said, "Don't mention them to me again!"
"All the suffering I'm going through is because of them! They sold me out and they'll never come back to me!"
"I never want to see them again!"
The transmigrator thought she had performed well, even deliberately showing off her wrinkled skin from being soaked in the medicinal solution. After arriving, she discovered that her entire body reeked of an unpleasant medicinal smell. It could be said that Nian Ruoqing's body had been thoroughly soaked in various medicinal substances...
The time traveler felt that Ouyang Tai should be able to understand Nian Ruoqing's pain, and that it was normal for someone to have a mental breakdown and say such things under such circumstances.
But Ouyang Tai's expression changed, and he directly asked the transmigrator, "Who are you?"
The time traveler froze for a moment, not expecting Ouyang Tai to ask such a question so suddenly.
"W-what are you saying..."
“She wouldn’t do that. Also, she always bites her fingers constantly after soaking in the medicine because she feels uncomfortable, but you’re different…”
Although young, Ouyang Tai is very perceptive. He noticed that Nian Ruoqing was homesick and specially saved up spirit stones to comfort her; he also noticed Nian Ruoqing's pain and brought her sweet candies...
Therefore, from the moment he entered, Nian Ruoqing's unusual behavior caught his attention.
Even Nian Ruoqing's usual little actions had changed. After just a few words, she seemed like a completely different person. Ouyang Tai quickly realized that this was not Nian Ruoqing!
What happened next was exactly as Ouyang Si had heard.
At the time, everyone thought that Ouyang Tai had gone mad, but the truth was not so!
Seeing Ouyang Tai begin to interrogate the transmigrator like a madman, Ouyang Si frowned. For some reason, he saw his own shadow in Ouyang Tai.
He was no different on his wedding day than Ouyang Tai is now.
