"Oh, something has happened with the host's parents," System Xiao Qi exclaimed in a hurry.
"What happened?" Luo Yun Shi asked urgently as she returned to the villa.
"Host, don't worry. Luo Dad and Luo Mom's current identities are the foolish son of a landlord's family and a rural girl about to be married in an ordinary ancient world.
Things were going well, but on their wedding day, a woman not in the plot suddenly appeared at the wedding and caused trouble, claiming Luo Dad had molested her. Now the scene is chaotic, and she insists Luo Dad marry her. The key is that the woman is quite attractive."
Someone is causing trouble at the wedding?
Luo Yun Shi breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's not a big deal, don't worry. Mom and Dad can definitely handle this small matter. System, let's upgrade to max level and go take a look as soon as possible."
Her parents had watched plenty of palace intrigues, power struggles, and other melodramatic shows in modern times. Now they had systems and had transmigrated through who knows how many worlds. Their experience was probably more than enough. Perhaps she would only be watching the show if she went.
"Understood, host."
Perhaps it was to spectate the scene, but System Xiao Qi acted with incredible speed.
Fortunately, Luo Yun Shi had already packed everything from the system inventory into her storage earrings, rings, space orbs, and space pouches. Supplies and equipment were neatly categorized and packed full. Five mobile villas were put away. Xing Yi, Da Li, the nanny robots, and others had also been placed in storage spaces beforehand.
"Ding dong! System has been upgraded to max level. Disengaging from the demon world's apocalypse." The mechanical voice announced completion, and the surrounding space twisted and instantly transformed.
...
Luo Yun Shi stood at the foot of a mountain and looked into the distance, seeing a crowd of villagers gathered in the most affluent courtyard in the village. Noises of chatter, criticism, and accusations reached her ears.
She found a gift box from her space, placed a relatively pretty but not overly expensive silver hairpin obtained in the ancient apocalypse world into it.
Then, she changed into a more ordinary ancient costume that suited the setting. System Xiao Qi also transformed into the appearance of a small white bird, perched on her shoulder, looking around curiously.
Luo Yun Shi noticed that Xiao Qi was clearly more active than when it was in its ethereal form. She smiled and strode forward.
...
"As a young lady, why would I disregard my own reputation and say false things? Cousin, everything I've said is true, believe me." Cai Lian's voice was delicate and sorrowful. Her appearance as a weak, innocent girl made her seem easy to bully.
"She's right. A woman's reputation is so important in this world. I heard Cai Lian was reluctant to marry originally, and that's why her cousin Xiu'er married over. If she's lying now, then that's not right either."
"Hmm, it seems this foolish young master really did see Cai Lian's body. Tsk."
The villagers exclaimed and discussed amongst themselves.
Luo Yun Shi, like the villagers who couldn't get a good spot, found an optimal viewing position and easily leaped onto the wall to sit.
Her gaze swept over, first landing on her father, who was pretending to be foolish.
Father and daughter's eyes met. Luo Yun Shi, with her sharp eyes, noticed her father's foolish grin freeze for a moment before he resumed his silly laughter.
Father and daughter exchanged a look that conveyed everything without words.
"Cousin, you say Young Master Cheng'an sneaked to the riverbank last night and watched you bathe. Do you dare repeat that? Heaven is watching."
Luo Mom, wearing a red wedding dress with the bridal veil lifted to reveal her thin but delicate face, asked the woman calmly.
"I... what do I dare not? I'm just stating the facts. Not a single lie."
Cai Lian's expression was one of hurt from being questioned, tears welling up in her eyes. Her pitiable appearance stirred compassion.
Luo Mom lowered her head and chuckled softly. Just as she was about to speak, an old woman, also dressed festively, interrupted her.
The old woman's voice was filled with anger. "You're spouting nonsense! Although my grandson is a bit foolish, he wouldn't do such a thing as you claim."
"Grandmother, Mother, I have already bowed to my husband, making me a daughter-in-law of the Liu family. Leave this matter to me, don't worry."
After speaking, Luo Mom gave everyone a reassuring look and then turned her attention to Cai Lian.
"Cousin, you say my husband saw your body. Can you tell me the precise time it happened?"
"I was too panicked at the time, how could I remember the exact time? Cousin, do you still think I'm lying?" Cai Lian showed no sign of panic.
"No, I'm not saying cousin is lying. However, perhaps you were mistaken at night. After all, the moon wasn't very bright last night, and it's very possible you couldn't see clearly." Luo Mom said.
"No, how could I mistake something like this? It was him. My purse is also gone. He must have taken it," Cai Lian insisted stubbornly.
Luo Mom's eyes narrowed. After a moment of silence, she sneered.
"Cousin, I gave you a chance, but you still refuse to repent."
Cai Lian's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. Could she know something? Impossible. This was definitely a ploy. As long as she held firm, the Liu family would have to acknowledge her. No one knew the real situation.
"You say my husband did it, but you have no proof. I have witnesses here."
After speaking, Luo Mom gave Cai Lian no quarter and unleashed her barrage of words.
