Just a moment ago, Liu Yue Village was having a merry time by bursting firecrackers; deafening sounds were ringing through the entire village.

However, the next moment, silence descended into the entire village.

The bride had gone missing.

The national adviser had prophesied that Chu Sihan, the county magistrate staying in the Lin Jiang Mansion, would have a life span of less than thirty. Chu Sihan had to marry the Lu Family's daughter from Liu Yue Village to escape his fate.

A few days ago, the Chu Mansion had sent betrothal gifts to the Lu Family. They were going to receive the bride today.

However, as the marriage procession reached the Lu Family, the Chu Family was told that the bride was missing.

All the Chu Family members became furious.

They blocked the entrance of the Lu Family, demanding to see the bride, no matter whether she was alive or dead.

"How can a living person go missing like that?"

The village head of Liu Yue Village frowned as he asked the bride's father, Lu Dahua.

The visitors were the Chu Family.

The entire Lin Jiang Mansion did not have the guts to offend the Chu Family, let alone Huang Yang Town. The Lu Family were only villagers of lower status.

"I don't know!" Lu Dahua cried out.

He had not expected his obedient daughter to go missing!

"Father, could Sister's disappearance relate to her reluctance to marry Lord Chu? This explains why she ran off."

A pretty girl timidly spoke.

"She doesn't want to marry our Lord?" The eyes of the Chu Family's housekeeper widened. "She should count her blessings to be able to marry our Lord."

"That's not the case!"

The lady frantically waved. She pursed her lips before explaining in a terrified tone. "You might be unaware of this, Housekeeper Chu, but my sister… She had a fiance before this. She likes that person very much."

"Fiance?"

Housekeeper Chu frowned, and he looked at Lu Dahua with inquiring eyes.

Lu Dahua's heart raced, and he contemplated the explanation.

His daughter indeed had a fiancee— Duan Zhen. He was the only scholar in the village.

However, ever since Duan Zhen had attained his scholar status last year, the Duan Family had been trying to break off his engagement with Lu Sheng.

They were afraid that the Lu Family would spread rumors about them. Therefore, they would indirectly express their desires.

Their speeches mainly revolved around the incompatibility of Lu Sheng and Duan Zhen.

Lu Dahua had initially turned a deaf ear to the Duan Family's words.

After all, Duan Zhen was the first such case in Huang Yang Town. He was bound to pass the provincial level of the imperial examination. Who knew, he might even become a high-level official.

How could Lu Dahua turn down such a good marriage arrangement?

However, a few days ago, Housekeeper Chu suddenly visited them and informed him that the county magistrate wanted to marry his daughter.

This news prompted him to travel to the Duan Family and break off the engagement.

Although the Duan Family did not know the reason for his sudden initiative to break the engagement, it was the result they had always wanted.

Thus, they agreed without a second thought.

After knowing this news, Lu Sheng had locked herself in her room and starved herself, crying for the whole night. She only came out the next day.

She also promised Lu Dahua that she would marry the person from the Chu Family.

Moreover, she was still here the previous night during dinner.

How could she be gone the next day?

"That… was a matter of the past. We broke off the engagement a long time ago."

Lu Dahua shot his stepdaughter a murderous gaze after finishing his speech.

Madam Liu pulled Lu Ning aside and castigated her. "Please shut up when the adults are speaking."

Lu Ning innocuously pouted her lips, but did not speak further.

However, ruthlessness flashed across her eyes.

Lu Sheng would never be back in this life!

Meanwhile, Lu Sheng, who everyone thought had gone missing, was casually shopping while chewing on her apple at Huang Yang Town.

After completing her swim at the lake, she had gone to a dilapidated house at the front of the village and spent her night there in front of a campfire.

She had only left Liu Yue Village at dawn.

The memory of the owner of this body had given her the knowledge of the murderer and their motives for her death.

The owner's sister, Lu Ning, wanted to replace her and marry the county magistrate.

Therefore, she had collaborated with the owner's stepmother, Madam Liu. The duo had suffocated the owner to death when she was sound asleep in the middle of the night. Then, they had thrown her into the lake.

Thankfully, she had reached there fast, or the body would have decomposed.

She had been dining at her noodles' restaurant when she died from gas poisoning. As she woke up, she found herself inside the water.

It was only after a while passed that she realized she had transmigrated.

She had sat at the lakeside for long and only left when she had accepted what had happened.

For now, she did not want to return to Liu Yue Village, for the owner would have died in vain then.

She had to let Madam Liu and Lu Ning voluntarily admit their crime. Only that could give the owner's soul some peace.

"How much is this meat bun?"

Lu Sheng passed by a bun shop, and she could not help but drool.

The space bracelet her master gave to her only contained vegetables, live fishes, and prawns.

She had eaten grilled fish the previous night, and when she smelled the meat today, her stomach growled.

She realized she should have bought more pork belly and placed them in the space bracelet when she had gone grocery shopping with Master.

"Where did this beggar come from? Please leave."

The stall owner impatiently looked at her, his gestures were akin to a man chasing away an annoying housefly.

Lu Sheng paused and lowered her to scrutinize herself.

The sight left her speechless.

Her clothes were ragged, and she was missing one shoe.

Then, she took out a small mirror and looked at herself.

Her small face looked filthy, and her hair was unkempt as though she had not washed or combed it for years.

She silently kept her mirror. After eying the meat bun, she humphed and walked over to the next stall.

The next stall was also selling meat buns. However, this stall's owner didn't chase her off. He even gave her two meat buns in a paper bag.

"Lady, you must be hungry. This is for you."

"Thank you!"

Lu Sheng threw the apple she was eating, which was only left with a seed now, into a bamboo-made bin filled with garbage.

Then, she smiled and reached out her hands to receive the buns. After that, she took out the copper taels in her pocket and handed them over to the stall owner.

Amid his surprise, the stall owner saw that the taels had already been forced onto his hands.

He looked at the taels before shouting, "Lady, one bun costs one copper tael."

"Really?" Lu Sheng retraced her steps and looked at the stall owner. She smiled as she said, "Then, pack two more buns for me."

"Okay!"

After keeping the money, the stall owner merrily packed two more buns for her.

Lu Sheng had just taken two steps when she heard the owner from the first meat bun stall lament. "Even beggars can afford to eat meat buns now. How unlucky!"

Lu Sheng raised her eyebrows when she heard those words.

She then pulled out a yellow talisman and murmured some words.

The passers-by stared at her with dumbfounded expressions.

Moments later, the yellow talisman in her hand suddenly burnt, but no one noticed the scene.

It was only after the yellow talisman had burnt to ashes that an evil smile appeared on her lips.

Her master had once said that everyone had their own way of living. Others had the right to disagree, but they still had to respect it.

The first stall owner was one who bullied the weak and feared the strong. He bullied the kind and feared the evil.

After Lu Sheng left, the first meat bun stall had not sold any buns while the second stall had finished selling all of his not long later.

What Lu Sheng had just burnt was a Talisman of a Little Man, which she had drawn herself.

Her master was a cultivator, and ever since she could remember things, she had been cultivating alongside her master.

Even though she was not at her master's level, her master had acknowledged her talent in cultivation.

Her master had always commented on her frivolous attitude when she would refuse to learn the proper things. She would always try to learn the unorthodox and sinister tricks.

Hah!

If only she had listened to her master and not gone out to dine alone, she would have avoided the gas leakage and her eventual death.

Thankfully, God blessed her with another life.

It must have been for her kind character.

***

Liu Yue Village was still searching for Lu Sheng.

However, Lu Sheng was holding on to her buns in front of a pastry shop. She stared at the two taels on her palm and zoned out.

She only had six taels in total, which a lady had thrown to her when she was taking a break while sitting beside a wall by the street.

The lady had said that she did not have enough taels because she had left home in a hurry. She also said that if they were to meet again, she would give her more taels.

Moreover, the lady had even asked her servant to give Lu Sheng an apple, which was the apple she had eaten just before.

Her master had once said, "One should not be too greedy." Lu Sheng knew that since she already had buns, she should not ask for pastries.

After convincing herself, Lu Sheng sighed and put the remaining two taels back into her pocket.

Life is too hard!

Lu Sheng raised her head and looked at the sky. It was still early. When it was dark, she would go back to Liu Yue Village.

She had forecasted that the winds would be strong later, and the night would make it easier for her to do what she wanted.

"Lady, please exercise some kindness and give me some food!"

Lu Sheng was passing by the pastry shop when someone suddenly hugged her leg.

She lowered her head and saw a disheveled old lady eyeing pitifully at her meat bun.

A young boy stood beside the old lady. His face was filthy, but his eyes were clear and bright.

The boy scrutinized Lu Sheng and spoke to the old lady, "Grandma, you've begged the wrong person. She's also a beggar."

Lu Sheng was speechless.

When she heard those words, the old lady stared at Lu Sheng and then released her hand.

With an embarrassed expression, she spoke, "My eyesight is poor, so I can't clearly see things. I didn't expect you to be a pitiful person like us."

The words again left Lu Sheng speechless.

"Take it."

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Sheng reluctantly gave the only two buns she had to the old lady.

The duo wolfed down the buns, which made Lu Sheng sigh.

I am indeed too kind!

At the restaurant opposite her, a man in a white outfit was sitting on the second level. He happened to witness the scene happening below. His originally calm eyes became filled with interest.

"Lord, what are you watching?"

A high-ranking county magistrate, who was in his uniform, could not suppress his curiosity when he saw the usually-calm man chuckle.

The follower of the young man in the white outfit also could not help but peak down.

However, he only saw a pair of old and young beggars eating buns, and nothing special.

He retracted his neck in a confused manner.

"Nothing."

The man in the white outfit calmly retraced his gaze. He then stood up and said, "It's getting late. I have some matters to attend to. I shall leave now."

"Okay!"

Upon hearing the man's words, the high-raking county magistrate hurriedly stood up and sent him and the follower to the restaurant's entrance.

When Chu Sihan came out, he happened to see the kind-hearted beggar who had given the other beggars her food. She was standing on the bridge with her head slanted and a willow leaf in her mouth. Her thoughts were unknown.

He told Chu Yun. "Give that lady over there ten silver taels."

"Lady?"

Chu Yun followed his line of sight but remained confused. "Where's the lady?"

He only saw a beggar in ragged clothing on the bridge, but not a lady.
