I was spotted by the heroines while doing the quick-travel mission.

As the sun set in the west, everyone greeted each other and then dispersed to go home.

On the way back in the carriage, Yang Liu suddenly said, "Cousin, your parents are here, I have arranged for the servants to settle them down..."

When Liu Ruying heard this, she looked up in surprise, with a hint of panic in her eyes. Life in the Yang Mansion was too comfortable, and no one scolded or beat her for no reason, which made Liu Ruying briefly forget what a hellish place her previous life was.

Yang Liu saw that Liu Ruying was in a bad mood, so she tried to comfort her.

"Don't be afraid, I will help you."

After hearing this, Liu Ruying was silent for a moment. Apart from Yang Liu, she had no one to rely on, so she nodded to show her trust.

The carriage drove to the gate of Yang's house. As soon as they stepped over the threshold, they heard the penetrating voices of Liu Ruying's parents gradually approaching. Liu's laughter was shrill, and when she saw Yang and Liu, she hurried to greet them.

When he saw the unfamiliar woman standing behind Yang Liu, he pretended to care for her. After Liu squinted her eyes and looked at her for a long time, she finally saw some familiarity in the unfamiliar woman, with a look of surprise and a little annoyance.

"Ruying!"

Ignoring Liu Ruying's face full of resistance, Liu stretched out her hand, grabbed Liu Ruying's arm and dragged her out, scolding her as she dragged her.

"You damned girl, you didn't even say hello to your parents when you saw them, have you grown wings!?"

Liu Ruying was a little frightened and turned to look at Yang Liu for help. Yang Liu reached out and grabbed Liu Ruying's wrist. After stopping Liu's mother from pulling her roughly, he gently turned his head with a smile in his eyes, but his tone was indifferent.

"Aunt, my cousin went out to play with the little princess of Yong'an Palace today, so she must be a little tired. Let her rest, take a bath and change clothes. If you have anything to say, we will talk about it tomorrow. Tomorrow I will set up a welcoming banquet for you and my cousin, and we can talk about what happened today."

Hearing Yang Liu say this, Liu knew that he was trying to protect her, but after all, she had no choice but to give up. She pretended to be a loving mother, pushed Liu Ruying into the inner room, and urged her to rest.

After sending the person away, Liu turned around and looked at Yang Liu and said, "Nephew, we came here this time just to see Ruying..."

Before anyone could finish, Yang Liu raised her hand to interrupt, smiling and saying, "Aunt, my nephew is a little tired today. We can talk about it tomorrow. Aunt, you should also go to bed early."

Before anyone could respond, Yang Liu signaled Yang Zhao to push her away. She was really tired now and didn't want to argue with the couple anymore.

After Yang Zhao pushed Yang Liu away, out of their sight, the Liu couple looked unhappy, spat a few times, and cursed softly before leaving hand in hand.

At this end, Yang Liu had just gone into the house to rest when the system sounded.

The current host score is 50

The host will continue to work hard. 】

Looking at the numbers, they are short and clear. Ah, it is indeed a novice system, so simple.

Thinking back to the system articles I had read before, with all kinds of long bars of numbers, Yang Liu was very suspicious whether it was just a trick.

Collapsing on the bed, Yang Liu began to think about her next step. For the past six months, it seemed that she had nothing to do except playing and brushing up her favorability.

Thinking about the things I had assigned people to do before, I don’t know if they can be done well. But it doesn’t matter if they can’t be done well, since it’s a side job after all.

Yang Liu's thoughts were in a mess, so she simply stopped thinking and fell asleep.

On the second day, Yang Liu woke up at noon. She helped him wash and dress as usual, and then went out to eat breakfast which was considered lunch.

But there were two uninvited guests at this meal.

The Liu couple didn't say anything, and Yang Liu didn't plan to speak either. It would be best to just stay for a few days and then leave quickly.

"Nephew, it's like this. Ruying is not a child anymore. She will be an adult next year. We have arranged a marriage for her at home. Thank you very much for taking care of her during this period..." Finally, it was Liu who put down her bowl and chopsticks and started talking.

After hearing this, Liu Ruying shuddered all over. She looked up suddenly and saw Liu glaring at her. Then she lowered her head and ate the rice in the bowl without saying a word.

Since ancient times, marriages have been decided by parents and matchmakers. Liu Ruying did not know and did not dare to refute her parents for fear of being gossiped.

Yang Liu knew that the couple's sudden visit must have bad intentions. Seeing Liu Ruying lowering her head and keeping silent, she could not hide her sadness and felt helpless.

Then he suddenly had an idea. He gently touched the back of Liu Ruying's hand under the table to indicate to her that she should be at ease. Then he looked up at the Liu couple with a smile, picked up a piece of fish and put it into Liu's bowl, pretending to be regretful.

"If I see my cousin find a good family to marry, I will be happy too. But you don't know that the princess of Yong'an Palace likes my cousin very much and has decided to let my cousin be a companion to the little princess in the future."

Without waiting for Liu to speak, he continued.

"You two also know that the royal family is very temperamental. If my cousin dies like this, not to mention that my cousin's good opportunity is gone, if his palace is furious, won't it also implicate you?"

At this point, Liu wanted to say something, but then she changed her mind and realized that a marriage in the countryside would not be as cost-effective as marrying a prince or nobleman. With her current beauty and her education with the princess, marrying a prince or a high-ranking official would be a great deal, right? "

Thinking of this, Liu couldn't help laughing out loud. The wrinkles on her face looked greasy and she looked so greedy that it made people feel sick.

"Oh, that was just a verbal engagement. If Ruying doesn't want to, she can cancel it if she wants. But this..."

Aunt Liu pretended to be embarrassed and secretly pinched Uncle Liu's leg. Uncle Liu felt a pain in his thigh and suddenly raised his leg to hit the table, which frightened Liu Ruying so much that she almost dropped the chopsticks in her hand. Uncle Liu was interrupted and was concentrating on cursing. When he saw Aunt Liu staring at him with bulging eyes, he was so scared that he shrank like a quail and said sorry, then cleared his throat with his eyes and continued with Aunt Liu's words.

"You don't know, their family has sent a lot of things to our house, and when they saw that other relatives were in trouble, they gave all the things to help them. If they go to cancel the engagement, it will be difficult for us to do it." Uncle Liu frowned, shook his head and sighed, looking really worried.

When Yang Liu heard this, she realized that this was not a problem at all. They were just asking for money. They were really two debt collectors. It was annoying to look at them. Unfortunately, she had to save face, so she pretended to be enlightened and generously waved her hand. She handed the two a plate of silver and money, which was more than last time. The Liu couple pounced on them like hungry ghosts, grabbing handfuls after handfuls and stuffing them into their pockets.

"Oh, why are you bothering me, nephew? As the two elders, we should help them. When we have money, we will pay it back, and pay it back..."

Yang Liu sneered and raised her head slightly. She despised people who sold their children for fame and fortune the most. She thought it was not a good thing to disturb them all the time, so she continued.

"Sister will be going to the palace in a few days. As you know, I am just an ordinary citizen now, and it is not easy for me to go in and out of the palace. If you two come often, I will miss you more. If you often miss things like this, I am afraid that the people in the palace will find it troublesome and will not ask you to accompany me to study."

How could the Liu couple waste such a good opportunity? They agreed repeatedly and prepared to leave under the pretext of farming at home.

"Don't worry, don't worry. After lunch, I'll prepare the carriage to take your aunt and uncle back." Yang Liu waved her hand to signal people to eat first.

It means that people will come back after having a good meal, and the work done on the surface is impeccable.

The Liu couple agreed repeatedly.
