Chapter 44 of the Diary, Part 7: Discovering the Secret

"Oh, Miss, please tell me about it." Green Bamboo pestered Chu Lengyu, wanting her to tell her the details of what happened today.

These past few days, Lüyun has witnessed Chu Lengyu's abilities and knows that her young mistress has many amazing skills, so she is not worried about her safety.

Chu Lengyu had previously wanted to take her to the Jingzhao Prefecture, but when Lüyun saw that if they all left, such a large garden would be left unattended.

Even with the door gods and Huang San and Huang Si around, she still couldn't put her mind at ease.

This garden was bought with a full five hundred taels of gold. Even the slightest problem would break Green Bamboo's heart.

Seeing that she was really insistent, Chu Lengyu kept her there. Now that she was very curious, he told her the whole story, picking and choosing what to say.

Upon hearing that the Prefect of the Capital was biased towards the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and repeatedly found excuses to exonerate it, Lü Yun was naturally very angry and accused them, saying, "These corrupt officials protect each other and have made the capital a mess. When the Master was alive, he refused to associate with them and was thus isolated by them."

She pouted, clearly indignant on behalf of her mistress, and then asked, "Miss, what happened next? What happened after that?"

"Then Steward Zhao came and said..." Chu Lengyu repeated his words.

"This... Surely the Prefect of the Capital wouldn't just believe him so easily? If he's really so incapable of distinguishing right from wrong, how did he become an official in the first place!" Green Bamboo frowned deeply and hurriedly asked, "Oh dear, Miss, please tell me quickly, I'm so anxious!"

“He did believe it. But later, someone came forward to testify for me, and the Prefect of the Capital immediately changed his attitude. He not only threw Steward Zhao into jail on the spot, but also promised me afterwards that he would personally visit the Duke of Zhenguo’s mansion to seek justice for me.” Chu Lengyu briefly recounted what happened next.

"Huh? Who testified for you?" Green Bamboo muttered softly again, "How come the Prefect of the Capital... he believes everyone he hears?"

She still couldn't quite believe that someone's attitude could change so quickly. Just moments ago, she was cursing him in her heart, calling the Prefect of the Capital a blind, sycophantic official. Could it be that she had misunderstood him?

“The people who testified for me were those who were following me outside the park.”

"What? It's actually them?" Green Bamboo was genuinely surprised.

Aren't they bad people? They actually went to the Prefect of the Capital to testify for the young lady. Could it be that... those people realized their mistakes and repented?

Seeing that she had no intention of explaining herself, Lü Yun wisely refrained from asking any further questions.

……

Night falls again.

Chu Lengyu returned to her room, recalled the events of the day, and prepared to start writing in her diary.

A virtual diary appeared before her. Chu Lengyu flipped through it and thought with emotion that today was only the seventh day since she had transmigrated here.

In just seven days, it felt like so much had happened, and even today, the Chu family continues to cause her trouble.

As her thoughts wandered, words began to slowly appear on the blank pages of her diary.

"So today is the seventh day since I traveled here."

"My days were so full that I forgot for a moment how time was passing."

"I've been here for a week, and I wonder how my hometown is. I miss it so much."

"However, I'm doing quite well here. My life is gradually getting back on track. I've made some new friends and slowly gotten used to the local customs and culture."

"Daily meditation and cultivation, refining swordsmanship, mastering magic, writing in a diary, and enjoying the scenery—if I could continue like this, it wouldn't be bad."

"..."

……

The same content was read by the emperor the following morning.

He raised an eyebrow slightly, surprised to realize that seven days had already passed. No, it should be said, how come only seven days have passed?

Over the course of those seven days, this "Cultivation Diary" surprised him time and time again, and Chu Lengyu herself gradually revealed the strength of a cultivator to him.

However, where exactly does she mean by "hometown" in this diary?

She was an abandoned baby left at the entrance of a Taoist temple, so she wouldn't know where her real parents or hometown were.

Moreover, judging from the meaning between her lines, it seems that she was referring to something else entirely.

Chu Lengyu also said, "I've been here for a week." What does "week" mean in this sentence? Is it the time when the stars meet?

Could "here" refer to... the Great Xia Dynasty?

Could it be that she is not from this world?

This sudden, brilliant guess startled even the emperor himself.

If that's the case, it seems to explain Chu Lengyu's sudden change and all the amazing things about her...
