Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Chapter 158 Being a Marshal's Daughter Isn't Easy

"Good afternoon, Master. May I ask what your orders are?"

Yu Liu mimicked the maid's movements, gently stroking the thin ring on her left middle finger, and as expected, a transparent screen appeared.

This device, similar to a mobile phone, seems to be equipped with a smart program. As soon as the screen appeared, a figure slowly emerged. Unlike the little boy who was the maid before, the smart program on Tai Shushang's hand and brain was a cool and handsome young man with a cold and aloof appearance and very delicate features. He was wearing a black uniform that looked somewhat like a military uniform, with matching black boots on his feet. His overall temperament was cold, and when he spoke, the corners of his lips were slightly curved, which did not seem very warm and created a slight incongruity with his words.

Yu Liu glanced at the handsome young man for a moment, then ordered, "Open the search page for me!"

Searching online was indeed the right choice. Yu Liu gained a deeper understanding of this world. She focused her search on Tai Shu Yan Nuo's family, but unexpectedly, apart from the information she got from the maid, she didn't find any other important information. There was a lot of information about Tai Shu Yan Nuo, after all, he was a marshal, a heroic figure, and his every move in public would be spread. But this wasn't important information, and Yu Liu glanced at it casually and moved on. Unlike her husband, there was very little information about Tai Shu Yan Nuo's wife and daughter online. What she could find were just rumors from fearless tabloids. Yu Liu saw a discussion thread online that explained in detail why there was no information about Marshal Tai Shu's wife and daughter online. It was said that Marshal Tai Shu personally ordered the news to be blocked. A group of people in the comments section were lamenting Marshal Tai Shu's deep affection for his wife, unaware that it was simply because Tai Shu Yan Nuo's wife and daughter were both members of the Tianyan Clan.

Although others may not know about the Tianyan Clan, Taishu Yannuo has done a good job in taking precautions.

Yu Liu couldn't help but sneer. Seeing that she couldn't find anything useful, she was about to exit the search when, before making a decision, she suddenly had the AI ​​assistant search for Marshal Dongfang.

Since he's Taishu Yannuo's mortal enemy, I might as well learn about him; it might come in handy later. With that thought in mind, Yu Liu didn't close the search results page but instead began browsing intently.

In the alliance, the surname Dongfang itself represents a first-class family. Even before the alliance was established, the Dongfang family was already a top family in China, with members involved in various industries. The main family were all military personnel. After the alliance was established, the war began, and the regime changed, the then head of the Dongfang family, Dongfang Hexiu, was directly appointed as marshal, responsible for the overall command of the war.

Over the years of fighting, Dongfang Hexiu had suffered many injuries on the battlefield, and with his advancing age, he gradually became less capable. He simply stepped down from the position of marshal, letting his son take his place, while he himself retired to enjoy his old age. Therefore, when people talk about Marshal Dongfang now, they generally mean not the old marshal Dongfang Hexiu, but the new marshal—Dongfang Qingyuan.

As a member of the younger generation, Dongfang Qingyuan was directly parachuted into the position of marshal. Logically speaking, he should not be able to win the support of the masses. However, he is exceptionally strong and has carved out a bright path for himself through his strength, securing his position as marshal. In addition, his young and handsome appearance has attracted a number of female fans. Now, his approval rating is even higher than that of his father.

Furthermore, the Dongfang family itself was the ones who promoted Taishu Yannuo, so now it seems that Taishu Yannuo is far inferior to the Dongfang family!

Further down the line, there's not much informative content. Online discussions about Marshal Dongfang Qingyuan are mostly just female fans gushing over him, and Yu Liu simply ignores all of that.

Having gathered enough information, Yu Liu began to familiarize herself with the device in her hand. Since it was a communication tool, she would inevitably use it in the future, so it was best to quickly figure out all its functions.

As Yu Liu explored the new functions of her hands and brain, time flew by quickly and quietly, and before she knew it, more than two hours had passed.

"Knock down..."

Someone gently knocked on the door.

"come in."

Yu Liu put away the screen and said calmly.

Butler Zheng entered to inform Yu Liu to attend the banquet.

The banquet was held on the first floor of the castle. Because it was hosted by a marshal, many people came to show their support. The entire first floor was filled with people in various small groups, and their different statuses could be seen at a glance. Although the hosts had not yet arrived, the atmosphere was already very lively.

Yu Liu didn't make a grand entrance. Butler Zheng arranged for her to enter the first floor from the side and then left her side without attracting anyone's attention. This wasn't Yu Liu's own request, but rather a natural arrangement by Butler Zheng. Clearly, he had arranged such things quite often. Considering the post he had seen earlier, this arrangement was probably also given by Taishu Yannuo.

This arrangement suited Yu Liu perfectly. To be honest, the string of accolades surrounding Tai Shu Shang really intimidated her. As the marshal's daughter, even if she kept a low profile, Tai Shu Shang was quite skilled in many areas, things Yu Liu couldn't showcase. If she made a high-profile appearance, and someone suddenly decided to ask her to play a piano piece, she'd be in big trouble!

"Hi!"

Just as Yu Liu was secretly rejoicing, a hand landed on her shoulder. The person greeted her very familiarly, bending slightly to accommodate Yu Liu's height, with a smile in their eyes.

"Whose daughter are you? I've never seen you before."

The other person was a girl who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old. Her features were not particularly outstanding, but her smile was very charming. She was wearing a slightly retro warm-colored dress, which made a good first impression.

"...I've never seen you before either!" Yu Liu said honestly, "There are so many people in the world, isn't it normal not to know each other?"

"Oh dear, little sister, you're using a fallacy!" The other person's smile widened. "I clearly asked which family you belong to. Your clothes are obviously custom-made and very expensive. Your family must be powerful and influential. This circle is so small; there are hardly any people I don't know!"

The other woman spoke with such confidence that she bent down and put her arm around Yu Liu, acting quite familiar: "Let's get acquainted, little sister. My name is Li Tong, and I'm the second young lady of the Li family in the capital. I'm currently waiting to be married. My grandfather brought me here, saying that thanks to the Marshal's influence, I can choose a suitable husband."
