Chapter 175 It’s Absolutely Impossible to Marry Her

After dinner, the court doctor came on time to check Shen Qingyi's body.

After a few days of rest, she finally didn't have to lie in bed all day. This was good news, and Shen Qingyi was almost overjoyed.

After feeding, Chen Wan lay on the bed to digest the food.

Bored to death, she closed her eyes, let her consciousness sink into her mind, and slowly flipped through the chat history between Su Haitang and the system.

[I almost forgot, after Su Haitang fails the mission, a new mission will definitely appear.]

【Let me see what her new mission is.】

[Could it be related to Xiao Yelin again? ]

Soon, long passages of conversation came to her mind.

System: [System prompt, host mission failed, the host will be punished soon, please prepare yourself.]

There was no record of Su Haitang being punished by thunder in the dialog box, but the number of mission failures was refreshed.

System: [Reminder: The mission has failed 3 times so far. Once the failure count reaches 10, the penalty will be doubled. I hope the host will work hard to complete the mission.]

[The task has been refreshed.]

[Mission Target: Lu Jinghuai.]

[Quest content: Please, host, capture Lu Jinghuai, make him feel good about you, and successfully alienate him from the princess. The task period is 15 days.]

"Great! The mission objective has finally changed."

"Finally, a mission that has nothing to do with Xiao Yelin has arrived. Damn, this was so difficult. It was worth it for me to be struck by lightning this time."

Even through the dialog box, one could sense her ecstatic mood even though she was struck by lightning.

"Lu Jinghuai isn't the male lead, and he's not even ranked high among the supporting actors. It's definitely easier to capture him than the male lead."

"This time, I must complete the mission."

"System, where's the item gift pack?"

"The mission has been refreshed. Shouldn't you give me a new item pack?"

[Beep, the props gift package has been sent, please check it.]

[Beep, congratulations to the host for obtaining 1 Fragrance, 1 Beauty Pill, and 1 Powerful Invincibility Talisman.]

Su Haitang did not send any conversation content related to props, so Chen Wan did not know what these props were used for and could only guess based on their names.

[They say that products produced by the system are of the highest quality, so this fragrance is definitely not an ordinary item.]

I thought about it carefully and realized that besides smelling good, this fragrance must have some additional functions, such as intoxicating or addictive properties.

[The Beauty Pill is supposed to be a type of medicine that can make the user more beautiful and attractive.]

[The Invincible Power Talisman might make Su Haitang incredibly powerful, making him invincible.]

[I just don't know if these things are time-limited or permanent. If they are permanent, then I'm afraid Dad and the others won't be able to do anything to Su Haitang from now on.]

“????”

Mrs. Shen had just returned from the bath when she heard her last few words, and a wave of suspicion crossed her mind.

It seems that she missed some important news during her absence.

Yesterday I heard Xiao Naibao say that Su Haitang’s mission failed, so, could those previous voices be related to the new mission?

Alas, if she had known earlier, she should have waited for her husband to come back before taking a bath.

What if I really missed such important news?

Mrs. Shen sat in front of the dressing table with a heavy heart, wiping her hair with a dry cloth.

On the bed, Chen Wan moved her nose and smelled a light floral scent, and her mind was immediately drawn back.

[It's the smell of my mother. It smells so good.]

[So boring, I should continue to cultivate my spiritual power.]

[Perhaps once my mental strength reaches level three or higher, I'll be able to capture the system.]

After the inner voice fell, Shen Wan closed her eyes and entered a state of cultivation.

*

Pei family.

After Pei Lin woke up, he learned that someone from the Taiwei Mansion had come to tell him to marry Su Haitang, and his parents had already agreed to it on his behalf.

He was so angry that his head was about to smoke. He was very upset and was thinking gloomily about how to cancel this marriage.

No, no, absolutely not!

He likes Sister Qingyi. Even if he can't marry Sister Qingyi, he will definitely not marry Su Haitang.

Who is Su Haitang?

She is a fool and has no brains. She is also arrogant and domineering. Apart from her face and figure, she has no redeeming qualities.

Looking throughout Kyoto, apart from Princess Huayang, there is no other noble lady with a worse reputation than her.

And he had followed Duke Shen in his battles, made countless contributions, and had a promising future. How could he marry a woman like this?

While Pei Lin was racking his brains to find a solution, Su Haitang was not idle either.

She put on a maid's clothes and swaggered out of the house. After letting the system locate Lu Jinghuai, she planned to go and have a chance encounter with him...

Soon, Su Haitang collapsed.

Why did even Lu Jinghuai's plot collapse?

[Lu Jinghuai is having a tryst with a woman, and now they are both in bed.]

[But he was destined to be the prince consort. In the plot, in order to convince Princess Huayang of his sincerity, he always kept himself clean.]

[Before marrying Princess Huayang, he had never been involved in any relationship with other women.]

[But now, he's having a tryst with a woman who appeared out of nowhere. I just monitored that woman and found out that she's almost twenty days pregnant.]

[This plot is so fucking broken.]

[But the question is, why would the plot of a male supporting character like him also fall apart?]

[Is this someone's fault, or is it his own fault?]

The system completely collapsed, and looked like it was about to explode with anger at any moment.

Su Haitang: “…”

She did not respond immediately, but instead took out Lu Jinghuai's story and read it again. She felt extremely complicated after finishing it.

In the plot, in order to please Xiao Jinmian, Lu Jinghuai has indeed always kept himself chaste and has no close women around him.

Later, when he met her, he was completely bewitched by the heroine's aura. His heart and eyes were filled with her, and he could no longer see any other woman.

On the eve of his wedding, she just said that she was not feeling well, so he stayed to accompany her, even at the cost of missing the auspicious time for his wedding with the princess.

After the marriage, because the princess was dissatisfied with him protecting her everywhere, he endured the humiliation and secretly planned to take control of the princess's mansion.

After a lot of effort, he finally eliminated the princess's trusted confidants one by one and replaced them with his own people.

The princess's wings were chopped off, her claws were cut off, and she became a lonely and helpless person. In the end, she was drowned by her own husband.

Lu Jinghuai, on the other hand, created the illusion that the princess had fallen into the water and died.

From then on, no one could control him, and he did his best to serve her and go through fire and water for her.

But now, he is involved with a woman of unknown origin and has a child.

Su Haitang's mind was blank, with only a buzzing sound.

The confidence I had when I went out collapsed at this moment.

I thought that guy was just a supporting actor, so it shouldn't be difficult to conquer him, and this mission would be easy to complete.

But unexpectedly, this kind of incident happened again on the way.

Lu Jinghuai would definitely not ruin the plot on his own. There must be someone fanning the flames. So, who is that person?

Could it be the Shen family?

The Duke's Mansion.

After reading the dialog box, Shen Wan was also confused and couldn't recover for a long time.

【……】

「This, ah this……」

[Why did Lu Jinghuai's plot also collapse? 】

[Outrageous, too outrageous...]

Immersed in this explosive news, Shen Wan was so absorbed that she didn't notice at all that after she finished speaking, the people on the ground all turned their heads to look at her.

By the end of the month, a lot of affairs had piled up in the mansion, and Mrs. Shen was too busy to handle it alone, so she called her three brothers and sisters to help after dinner.

The mother and her sons were working hard and seriously. Suddenly, they heard her thoughts and put down their work at the same time in tacit understanding.

As for Chen Wan, after being shocked for a moment, her inner voice became active again.

[Why would Lu Jinghuai get involved with a woman out of nowhere? And even have a child?]

[Tsk, that woman is almost twenty days pregnant. Calculating the time, these two have been together for quite some time.]

Swish!!!!

The three of them looked at Chen Yaoxing in unison, their eyes full of questions.

Chen Yaoxing touched his nose, his expression remained unchanged, but a hint of joy flashed across his eyes.

Is that woman pregnant?
