Transmigrated as A Farm Girl Making Her Family Rich

Meng Zhaojun gave a little skincare perfume to the shop for factory research, this bottle

of skincare perfume she intended to use on her own face.

Mrs. Meng, even more, did not want to give it to anyone else at all, and used it all on her own face, feeling the joy as her skin gradually improved.

She finally understood why Mrs. Li's skin was so good. Why hadn't she known that Mrs. Li would use such skincare products before?

Mrs. Meng realized that the cosmetics of Mrs. Li and her daughter came from the countryside, so she wrote to Mrs. Tang and those other noble ladies she knew to find out when skincare perfumes had first appeared in the new county.

...

Hongji and Mrs. Li, accompanied by the housekeeper and joined by Zhong Xingwang and the guards, passed the road where they had encountered the mountain bandits that day, trembling and preparing for battle.

It turned out to be an unlucky day for that group of bandits. Not only did they lose the loot that day, their own possessions suddenly disappeared without ample food.

Having fled without their belongings before, they could only wait in the coming days for a big catch.

After several days of robbery, civilians dared not pass by that road; those who did were either killed or maimed by theft, and the girls were abducted.

The government was aware that a group of mountain bandits was active in the area and advised all travelers to be cautious.

Merchants passing through had to bring many horsemen and bodyguards. There were many casualties in the fights with the bandits, and many of the bandits were killed. Although the merchants protected their goods, the losses were heavy.

Unluckily, some fell victim to banditry, and the bandits themselves were not overly happy about their loot, as it seemed they had little advantage there, and with casualties during the robberies, how could they be happy?

After a few days, they achieved a small success, having lost more than ten of over a hundred men, some of whom were injured and unable to fight.

At least they had stolen some belongings and acquired some food, but it wasn't enough to sustain over a hundred people for long.

Unable to construct houses in the mountains, the bandits all knew they were wanted by the government for murder, and they couldn't stay long in that place.

They planned to make a big score and then transfer their base, setting up camp on another mountain.

A spy reported back that a group of carriages and people on horseback was coming—a surely lucrative target.

After the spy's report, the Great King led a group to lie in ambush, eager to see how much "fat" the approaching party had.

From a distance, they saw many people on horseback, including old and young, and many martial artists.

They appeared to be soldiers. The Great King spotted among them a few guards and a young man who looked somewhat familiar. He thought he was seeing things, so he said to the person next to him,

"Look at that young man. Isn't he one of the ones from whom we tried to steal money but failed?

On that sudden day, the robbers had first looked at their faces. Their subordinates felt something strange and speculated that the travelers might be supernatural, whispering to the Great King,"

"Could these people be escorted by three gods? Look at the many soldiers among them, though they are in civilian clothes, they must have military training. Do we have any chance against so many trained soldiers?"

Listening to his companions, the Great King hesitated. There were troublemakers among them, and the King was too superstitious.

"Great King, what are you afraid of? Go ahead and act! There are so many of them, but we have even more people, and we haven't yet engaged in battle. Don't boost their morale at our own expense!"

Hearing this troublemaker's words, the Great King considered the wealth of the approaching convoy. Watching potential riches pass by, he felt a pang of reluctance.

"Huang Er, you take a team down first, we'll encircle them from both sides, we must snatch them away,"

"Yes, Great King!"

Huang Er waved his hand at his men and they all charged down, fighting fiercely.

With such a commotion on the mountain, the old housekeeper and those with military skills had already sent a spy to scout the area, knowing that there were indeed bandits here.

They needed to move quickly, as the opponents were charging down from the mountain, they had to pass this area at a gallop.

They also had to prevent the bandits from throwing rocks and branches, which would hinder the speed of the carriages.

After an incident with throwing rocks and branches, the mountain bandits vanished, believing that the Mountain God was protecting their goods, so they no longer used rocks and branches in subsequent fights.

The battle between the mountain bandits and the guards ensued. The guards, trained in military tactics, quickly dealt with the attackers who had come down.

They had to protect the carriages from advancing, with bandits both ahead and behind, there was no time to call for local government help because of the recent murders in the area that remained unsolved.

Thus, they had to eliminate these mountain bandits for the public good, to ensure that the common people could pass through here safely.

Hongji and Mrs. Li, trembling inside the carriage. This couple, unskilled in martial arts, held their son and looked out the window, worried about bandits attacking their carriage and also concerned about the carriage carrying their daughter.

Hearing the clashing sounds, Ye Wenjie wasn't scared. Boldly, from his father's arms, he peered through the carriage window, marveling at how formidable the housekeeper and his men were as they struck down each thief with a single blow.

Faced with the bloody scene, Ye Wenjie wasn't frightened at all, and even felt a bit excited, whispering softly, "Keep fighting, keep killing."

Mrs. Li, wanting to cover her son's mouth, feared that the bandits outside might hear and recklessly attack.

"Wenjie, don't be noisy!"

Mrs. Li, as a woman, dreading the heavy, bloody scene before her, was terrified that they might be overpowered and left without any way out.

Witnessing so many people being killed for the first time in her life, and seeing such strong guards, she felt very scared, so scared!

As a man unable to defend his wife and daughter with his own hands, Hongji was very scared and also dared not shout loudly.

In another carriage sat four maids. Oblivious to danger, they got down from the horses, weapons in hand, and surrounded their master's carriage, prepared as if trained in martial arts.

Hongji...!

Mrs. Li..., her maids nearby were fierce, fully alert, yet utterly calm, holding their weapons confidently.

Ye Wenjie..., so excited!

He didn't know if the maids and Attendant Student beside him knew martial arts as well.

In yet another carriage, other maids and the Attendant Student inside also took up weapons and exited the carriage, standing by to defend the carriages from any who might try to damage them.

Lady Ye Fengqi inside the carriage was both alarmed and scared, yet internally very excited. Her maids, peering through the windows on both sides, then got down and stood by the carriage to protect their mistress, swords now in their hands.

"Do you all know martial arts?" Lady Ye Fengqi's eyes sparkled, picturing a female hero emerging from her mind.

"Reporting to the Lady, we've been studying martial arts since childhood, which we can use for self-defense!" Bai Cai looked alertly outside as she responded to her lady, while the other maids did not speak but nodded in agreement.
