Chapter 35: Quick Action

Sheng Nianyao was speechless when she heard this. After returning to the Sheng family last night, she began to inquire about Qin Sheng and Chu Yian, and she had some understanding of this special couple.

Sheng Nianyao felt a little sad for Chu Yian. After all, most girls would not be willing to marry a ridiculous man like Qin Sheng.

But she also felt that Chu Yian's personality seemed more suitable for someone like Qin Sheng. After all, apart from Qin Sheng, no one else would be willing to take her to a brothel.

As they walked, they came to a pavilion. They were too lazy to walk anymore, so they just sat down there.

Sheng Nianyao suddenly took out a bulging purse from her sleeve and handed it to Chu Yian: "Sister Chu, I wanted to bring you some gifts today, but I didn't know what to give you after thinking about it."

"Besides, you came in such a hurry, and you said yesterday that you liked silver."

"I'm a little lazy too, don't mind..."

Chu Yian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he suppressed his excitement and prevaricated: "Look at you, it's enough for you to just come, and you're still so polite."

Sheng Nianyao shook her head: "If it weren't for you, I might have already... It's just a little silver, please accept it, otherwise I will be uneasy."

Having said that, Chu Yian is not a pretentious person, and she is indeed short of money now.

Because she helped Sheng Nianyao to get into debt, she felt at ease to accept the money.

"Since you've said that, I'll be disrespectful."

After saying that, Chu Yian reached out to take the purse and rubbed it carefully a few times before putting it into his sleeve.

The purse contained not silver but banknotes, and no one knew how much there was.

Just the thickness feels very unusual, so there must be a lot of it.

Chu Yian felt like he was stepping on cotton and was so happy that he felt like flying.

All the depression caused by the system was swept away.

Sheng Nianyao could see that she really loved money, so she covered her mouth and smiled: "Sister should accept this money, don't be polite to me. If you are short of money in the future, just send someone to tell me."

Chu Yian opened his mouth. Is this guy... very rich?

He said such lavish words without worrying about her getting jealous.

The two chatted for a while until Tao sent someone to look for them, and then Chu Yian and Sheng Nianyao returned to the main courtyard together.

Before Chu Yian had time to speak after entering the main courtyard, the system's voice suddenly rang in his mind again.

[Ding, the mission has been successfully triggered. Please comfort Madam Sheng Liu.]

Chu Yian:?

Chu Yian looked at Madam Sheng, not understanding why it didn't trigger when they first met but triggered now?

[Liu was the first wife of Sheng Hongyu, the Minister of Revenue. Her marriage to Sheng Hongyu was a family marriage, and they were romantically involved for a while after their marriage.]

[But not long after, Sheng Hongyu took his cousin as a concubine.]

He favored his cousin and allowed her to bully Liu, which led to Liu's depression. When she gave birth to her first child, she suffered a difficult labor and nearly injured herself. She took a long time to recover.

[The eldest son was born weak and died when he was just over a year old.]

This incident also became a source of worry for Liu. Although she gave birth to several more children, she always remembered the child who died in infancy and could not forget him.

[After enduring so many years, Liu finally managed to get rid of Sheng Hongyu's cousin, but unexpectedly, Sheng Hongyu found another woman who looked very similar to his cousin.]

[This new guy is not only younger than Liu, but also has a worse temper than my cousin, and is also a green tea.]

[Whenever Liu said something that upset her, she would cry and complain to Sheng Hongyu, causing Sheng Hongyu to become even colder towards his first wife.]

Liu was in a depressed mood, but she pretended not to care and accompanied Sheng Hongyu to various occasions.

[But recently, Sheng Hongyu even wanted to bring his concubine with him to important events, which made Liu feel even more ashamed.]

[But every time Sheng Hongyu asked her to do something, Liu had to complete it as soon as possible, but Sheng Hongyu repeatedly ignored her.]

This made Liu feel worse and worse, and she became increasingly sad. She began to doubt whether everything she had done for Sheng Hongyu over the years was worth it.

Liu occasionally mentioned their father's faults to her son, but he simply told her to be more magnanimous with a cold face and not to bring disgrace upon her as the legal wife by competing with a concubine who was not worthy of public attention. It would be a joke if the news got out.

[Living in such a dire situation, with her husband ignoring her and her children not understanding her, Mrs. Liu felt like every day was a year.]

[This is inconsistent with the core values ​​of the Renfu system, which is to provide every woman with the ultimate emotional value and help them find the true meaning of life.]

Live for yourself, love life, love yourself, and love every tomorrow that has yet to come.

[Host, please enlighten Liu.]

[Task Reward: Depends on the degree of completion, up to 500 taels of silver.]

Chu Yian observed Liu calmly. On the outside, she seemed very gentle, with a decent smile on her face and dressed elegantly and decently. You wouldn't tell that she had such a hard life.

It’s bad enough that he was ridden on by one concubine, but two?

One after another, endlessly.

When she looked at Sheng Hongyu last night, she thought he looked okay. How come he did something worse than a beast, favoring his concubine and abandoning his wife?

Even the death of his eldest son could not arouse his love for Liu.

Chu Yian curled his lips, not really knowing how to complete the task for the time being.

It was impossible for Mrs. Liu to tell her, an outsider, how difficult her life was, and it was not easy for her to ask directly.

Chu Yian could only remain silent for the time being.

Liu smiled, and several wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes.

Sheng Hongyu's face looks as old as tree bark. How could he have the nerve to tease a young girl?

But this was ancient times after all, and it was not uncommon for an older man to marry a teenage wife.

Liu led Sheng Nianyao and said goodbye, "It's getting late, I'll take Nianyao back first. I'm really sorry for bothering you today."

Tao shook her head: "No, I'm glad you came to talk to me."

After seeing off Liu and Sheng Nianyao, Chu Yian chatted with Tao for a few more minutes before returning to Fuhuayuan.

Along the way, I was thinking about how to complete the tasks assigned by the system.

Liu...

Sheng Nianyao...

She could use Sheng Nianyao to help her complete the task, but it might take a long time.

The mission reward is five hundred taels of silver.

Chu Yian compared the rewards of the previous three tasks and roughly figured out that the amount of each reward should be related to the situation of the task object at that time.

If the task is too urgent, the reward will naturally be more generous. If it is a task like comforting Mrs. Hua or Mrs. Liu, the reward will be less.

Chu Yian thought about it and had a rough idea in his mind.

When he stepped into Fuhua Courtyard, Chu Yian had been thinking with his head down, so he didn't notice at first that there were many unfamiliar faces in the yard.

When she came to her senses, Qin Sheng was standing in front of her, looking down at her and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Chu Yian shook his head: "Nothing?"

Qin Sheng didn't ask any further questions: "Turn around."

Chu Yian:?

Chu Yian turned around obediently and saw that several broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted, extremely handsome men wearing guards' uniforms were standing in the open space behind her.
