Ji Yingying remembered that when she last visited the Lu family, Old Madam Lu seemed like a nice person, always smiling and kind.

She was in a hurry back then, so she left after sitting for a while and didn't get to watch the drama unfold. Now that there's ready-made drama to watch, it's a good opportunity for everyone to watch the drama.

[Old Master Lu went out today, and it just so happened that Old Madam Lu's lover came, so they had an affair. Old Madam Lu is only in her fifties and still young. All three of her children are this lover's children, and her purpose is to seize the Lu family's wealth.]

The Lu family seems to be businessmen, quite wealthy, huh?

Yes, back then, Old Master Lu's sister married Prince Jin as a concubine, and the whole family moved to the capital. Not long after arriving in the capital, Old Master Lu met Old Madam Lu. This was actually a scheme devised by Old Madam Lu and her lover to drain the Lu family's wealth. Later, they learned that a powerful figure had appeared in Old Master Lu's life, which led to this meticulously planned conspiracy.

The reason why Old Master Lu's three children were not close to him was that they had known for a long time that Old Master Lu was not their father, so they did not want to be close to him.

[No way, those three kids were involved in this conspiracy too?]

[Yes, anyway, it was Old Madam Lu who schemed against Old Madam Lu, and she's been trying to poison him for years, but she still can't kill him.]

This made Ji Yingying give a thumbs up. Amazing! Old Master Lu is really tough.

So, Old Master Lu had no children at all?

Yes, his concubine bore him two children who are still living on the estate. He's blind and can't even recognize his own children. Now, it seems his lineage is about to end.

[That's true. They're all getting on in years, in their fifties or sixties. If they can't even recognize their own children, how can they avoid having no descendants?]

[Yeah, and he's the kind of ordinary yet confident person who listens to good advice but won't listen to anything bad. Anyone with a pure and innocent heart can easily win him over.]

[Wait, this is the "devoted second male lead" in the short drama. On one hand, he needs to be pampered, and on the other hand, he thinks he's the center of attention and that every woman loves him. He also says incredibly arrogant things, which can be infuriating at times.]

[That's why he pushed away his beloved concubine and kept the venomous beauty by his side. Such people usually don't have good endings. Now, even if he wants to reclaim his biological child, it will probably be very difficult.]

[I thought she was cheated on, but it turns out it was her own arrogance. You don't need to worry about this kind of person; she brought it on herself. Let me tell you about her affair.]

Because of their advanced age, Old Madam Lu and her lover engaged in a reversed kissing game, and the level of intimacy was so high that even Haitang had to applaud it.

[What, are we going to go this far?] Just as she finished thinking, Ji Yingying covered her mouth with her hand: Oh no, if I think like this, will I get banned again?

Not only was she surprised, but all the servants at the Four Seasons Residence were utterly astonished.

The old lady next door actually plotted to deceive her husband, how terrifying is that?

When Old Master Lu, who was traveling home at night, passed by this place, he overheard these words and was immediately consumed by rage. He spat out a mouthful of blood. If it weren't for the loyal servant behind him, Old Master Lu would probably have died here today.

[It wasn't just that they were playing such big games now; it was even bigger in the past. Once, after Old Master Lu got drunk, the two of them even crawled under the bed. The noise they made was so loud that the gatekeeper was too embarrassed to stay at the door.]

[What's even more outrageous is that this Old Madam Lu loves the "two dragons playing with a pearl" scene, and she often drags the butler along with her lover...you know what I mean!] Xiangxiang chuckled mischievously and continued, [Do you know who that lover is?]

[Who is it?] Ji Yingying was very curious and had long wanted to know who her lover was.

[He's Old Master Lu's cousin. He's long coveted Old Master Lu's fortune. If it weren't for Old Madam Lu, he probably would have killed Old Master Lu long ago, instead of waiting until now. However, this cousin knows he's getting old, so he plans to let his eldest son inherit the family property, and then pocket a large sum for his own enjoyment.]

[Not bad, not bad. Knowing she can't inherit such a large fortune, she still knows to keep a record. After all, the concubine who married into the Prince Jin's mansion is still alive. If something happens to her brother, she won't get any help and will likely investigate, which would be a loss for her.]

[If Old Master Lu were smart, he wouldn't have been fooled for so many years. Clearly, he's not smart. Never mind, it's none of my business. I'm going to eat.]

[Host, try your best to keep up with the drama and see the video of it as soon as possible.]

Is this even possible?

[Yes, it's possible, it depends on the host.]

Alright... Having eaten and drunk her fill, and finished her melon, Ji Yingying lay back in her chair reading a storybook.

In the dead of night, there was a loud banging outside the door. Ji Yingying, who hadn't fallen asleep, immediately became interested upon hearing the sound.

[Smells good~]

[Host, run! Someone within one kilometer wants you dead.]

【What? Why are you only telling me now?】 They've already come to the door.

Ji Yingying took out a fruit knife from her spatial storage. She didn't have any life-saving weapons in her space. What was she supposed to do?

"If I had known, I wouldn't have given up. I should have researched some powerful weapons instead of living in fear now."

[Host, don't you always say that dying early means being reborn sooner?]

How can they be the same? Engaging in verbal sparring is different from having your life threatened.

Reaching the door, he peeked outside and saw Xiangxiang's message again: "Rong Yi is outside. He's here to rescue you."

[This Imperial City Guard is really something; they even knew I was hurt. Looks like I'll have to be nicer to Lord Rong from now on. He's handsome and highly skilled in martial arts.]

Hearing this from outside, Rong Yi felt quite helpless. This little girl was truly fearless. Even though the fight had reached the door, she neither cried nor made a fuss, but calmly watched the battle from the doorway.

[Xiangxiang, can I have some gossip about the men in black? Let's see who's trying to kill me!]

[Yes, it's Princess Qi. She was demoted by the Emperor and is now divorced. She can't return to the capital, nor can she leave a village called Heping Village.]

"What? What does that have to do with me? I've never even met Princess Qi, and I have no grudge against her. Why would she send someone to assassinate me? Could it be Prince Qi? But when I met Prince Qi, I barely exchanged two words with him. If she were to assassinate someone, she should send someone to assassinate Prince Qi."

Besides, if she's going to rebel, she'll kill the emperor, why would she kill me?

【This… Xiangxiang can’t find out why Princess Qi wants to kill you. However, Princess Qi is now secretly returning to the capital. She’s already outside the city. She’s using her mother’s death as an excuse to come back and observe mourning.】

Oh, that's alright.

No, she brought back a force of ten thousand men.

[What? She's still planning a rebellion? I must say, Princess Qi is quite something. For a concubine's daughter to rise to this position is truly impressive. I admire her.]
