Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Chapter 155 Being a Marshal's Daughter Isn't Easy

"A fundraising campaign?"

What a simple and blunt name... Speaking of which, it's being held at Rose Castle, which is under the Marshal's jurisdiction. Does that mean the fundraising event is hosted by the Marshal? Shouldn't a Marshal be someone who leads troops into battle? Why...why would he be hosting a fundraising event? It feels strangely beneath him!

Yu Liu thought casually, and subconsciously followed the young man into the castle.

"Young Miss! Butler Zheng!"

As I walked along, every servant I encountered stopped what they were doing and bowed in greeting.

"Huh?" Yu Liu seemed to suddenly realize the situation. It seemed that she had heard the title of marshal from Tai Shu Shang a few times before. However, Tai Shu Shang did not give any special explanation, and she only remembered the important points, so she put this unimportant little title aside.

At the time, from what Taishu Shang said, it seemed that... she had a father who was a marshal... I don't remember very well, but I do remember that Taishu Shang's father was still poor and destitute when he found her mother.

So the current situation is... is she the daughter of the organizer, here to hold the fort for her father, who is a marshal?

Although Yu Liu's guess was not entirely correct, it was close enough. She was led by the young steward Zheng to the third floor of the castle and into one of the large rooms, where people had been waiting for a long time.

"Miss, this is the dress you're wearing to the banquet tonight. Please change into it immediately while we do your hair and makeup. The banquet will officially begin in an hour."

The female makeup artist, with a seductive look on her face, took out a pink dress from the wardrobe next to her and handed it to Yu Liu.

Yu Liu glanced towards the window. It was still light out; she didn't know what time it was, but it certainly wasn't evening yet. An hour later... the banquet...

I don't understand for some reason.

However, Yu Liu understood the makeup artist's instructions. She took the little dress, went into a small fitting room opened by the maid, and quickly changed into the dress.

After coming out of the fitting room, she met the female makeup artist's satisfied gaze. The makeup artist then grabbed Yu Liu, placed her in front of her, and began to apply makeup to her continuously.

"Alright, Miss!"

The makeup artist managed the time perfectly, making sure exactly one hour had passed.

Butler Zheng, who had been away for a short while, returned: "Miss, the guests are arriving one after another. I need to go and greet them. It will probably take another two hours for everyone to arrive. Would you like to rest for a bit?"

"Pfft!" Yu Liu couldn't help but choke. So this was the start of the banquet... But why was the butler in charge of greeting the guests?

Judging from Butler Zheng's words, it seems that even as the young lady, she doesn't need to show her face. Is it really appropriate to treat guests like this?

Although she had her doubts, Yu Liu did not ask them openly. She knew that this was probably a long-standing rule or something, and the original Tai Shu Shang would definitely know it. Asking it would only arouse suspicion.

"Then, I'll go and rest for a bit. Remember to let me know before the banquet officially begins." Yu Liu had no idea what Tai Shushang was like at this moment; she could only rely on her intuition.

Fortunately, Butler Zheng did not suspect anything: "Yes, Miss! You, come and take Miss back to her room to rest. Miss, I'll go greet the guests first."

"Go on, go on!" Yu Liu waved her hand, turned around and followed the servant who had been called out, thinking to take advantage of the rest time to learn more about the situation in this world.

Stepping out of the dressing room, one could sense the eerie stillness of the third floor of the castle. It seemed to be a place not to be visited casually, as there were not many people around.

"Da da da……"

The footsteps were clearer in the quiet corridor, and Yu Liu felt inexplicably uneasy, as if she had a bad premonition.

"Miss, this is the room prepared for you. Please rest here for a while, and I will come to call you after the banquet begins."

The maid opened the door and invited Yu Liu in.

"Thank you!" Yu Liu walked into the room, casually looked around, and subconsciously expressed her gratitude.

"No need to thank me, Miss. After all, you won't be thanking me for long."

The maid had a smile on her face. Instead of leaving the room, she closed the door behind her.

"Click——"

The sound of the door closing startled Yu Liu, who quickly looked at the maid: "Aren't you leaving?"

"Oh, this is the first time I've seen such naivety from you, Miss. Haven't you realized yet that I'm trying to kidnap you?"

Yu Liu's words made the maid laugh. She looked at Yu Liu with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot, and her words were full of merciless ridicule.

"Kidnap me? Why would you kidnap me?" Yu Liu was indeed a little confused. The main reason was that she had never experienced kidnapping before, and she hadn't yet adapted to Tai Shu Shang's identity. She didn't think she would be kidnapped at all. However, she wasn't stupid. She realized what was going on when the maid said it.

"Because I'm the marshal's daughter?"

After much thought, it seems that only this newly acquired identity has any value in being used for kidnapping.

"Otherwise what? Hehe~"

The maid was amused and laughed so hard she almost fell over: "Having been by the young lady's side for so long, I originally thought that the intelligent young lady would find a way to save herself immediately, but I never expected... the young lady would vividly demonstrate to me what it means to be scared dumbfounded!"

Her words were tantamount to admitting that Yu Liu's kidnapping was indeed due to her father, Taishu Yannuo, who was Yu Liu's father! Yu Liu felt somewhat depressed. No wonder Yue Sheng had warned her that this world was dangerous; she had only been here a short time and had already been kidnapped. Who knew how many more dangers she would have to face in the future!

Moreover, the body's adoptive father, Taishu Yannuo, is also a huge pitfall.

but……

Yu Liu looked at the smug maid, and suddenly a lightbulb went off in her head.

She had no memories of Taishu Shang and was unfamiliar with this world. She had originally planned to use this break to cram on the knowledge of this world, but she didn't know exactly how to do so. Going out to ask others would only expose her. Just as she was wondering what to do, it suddenly dawned on her: wasn't this maid the perfect breakthrough? Daring to kidnap the marshal's daughter, she must be a traitor. Since she was able to infiltrate the marshal's daughter's side, she must know everything about the marshal's family. Plus, she was also from this world. It seemed that all the problems had suddenly found a solution.
