"Remember, this won't be the punishment next time."

He let go of her and left.

His expression remained calm as before, as if everything he had just done to flirt with her was just an illusion.

When the man left, he made sure to close the door behind him.

Xiao Tang stared blankly at the closed door.

She was stunned.

She subconsciously pinched her cheek.

I doubted myself several times, thinking I was dreaming.

But……

Why?

The main villain is behaving very strangely!

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have gained 3000 points.]

【？？】

It's one thing for the main villain to act strangely, but why is your damn system acting so strangely too?

She didn't do anything, so how did she get rewarded with 3000 points?

[Host, it's like this: you've unknowingly gained the special favor of the main villain. Just now, the villain showed some interest in you, so you've been awarded 3000 points.]

[...Are you a detoxification system?]

Yes, host. I am the detoxification system, and I am also responsible for detoxifying love poison.

[...What kind of love potion?]

[Exactly, it's not just a physical poison, but also an emotional one. The main villain is poisoned by your emotions, and that needs an antidote too.]

【roll! 】

Xiao Tang wanted to kill this damn system.

Since it didn't speak, she wasn't that angry...

The moment it opened its mouth, her anger flared up instantly.

I don't know where this anger comes from.

He pinched the space between his eyebrows.

The villain's behavior just now was downright obsessive.

It seems she needs to cure the villain's poison as soon as possible and put the divorce papers on the agenda.

Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, running away is the best!

If you can't win, run!

When it comes to matters of the heart, she never dares to be careless in the slightest.

In the 31st century, she had become an older single woman, and when introduced to blind dates, she always thought things through carefully.

Moreover, it's in a book.

What I was facing was a two-dimensional character.

She always knew that as long as she didn't fall in love, she wouldn't get hurt!

If you really fall in love with the fictional characters in a book and then turn away, how heartbroken and painful that would be.

Cut the Gordian knot quickly, and you won't feel the pain.

...

The next day.

Xiao Tang was preparing to go to the Imperial Preceptor's residence to treat Ning Cang.

After instructing Yan Shi to prepare a carriage, she had just opened the carriage door...

Suddenly, they saw a silent man sitting inside the carriage.

Xiao Tang's eyebrows twitched in fright.

He had naturally changed his black robe; it wasn't the one from yesterday.

The black robe also had gold foil patterns on its lapel.

Noble and elegant.

But……

Xiao Tang asked instinctively, "Is my husband also leaving the manor? Oh right, I must have gotten on the wrong carriage, haha."

She had just put her feet down from the carriage.

The man simply ordered indifferently, "Come up. Aren't you going to the Imperial Preceptor's residence?"

Xiao Tang: "..."

"What, you're not going?"

She held her breath, but in the end she obediently followed him into the carriage and sat down beside him.

Her fingers gently twisted a corner of her sleeve.

I'm really torn.

Di Jingling took in her expression without saying a word.

Seeing that the silence was too strange, Xiao Tang whispered, "Husband, why is Ning Cang your mortal enemy?"

Why?

He turned his head to look at her.

“It’s alright if my husband won’t tell me. I just asked casually.”

She's still wearing Hao Fang's face.

Coupled with her somewhat uneasy appearance, she looked both pitiful and mischievous.

Di Jingling turned his gaze away, looking elsewhere. "He was once a close friend of mine."

Huh?

[Close friends turned into enemies?]

"However, since his sister died because of me, he has never spoken to me again."

Xiao Tang's eyes gradually lit up.

Oh, I see.

It seems that before meeting Xiao Rourou, this seemingly innocent but actually cunning villain, the main antagonist had a bit of gossip going on.

Ning Cang's younger sister was never mentioned by anyone, nor was she introduced in the book.

[Hey, hey, hey, why are you silent now? Hurry up and tell us! We, the onlookers, are really eager to hear it!]

The man looked into her overly bright and sparkling eyes and immediately didn't want to continue talking.

He was afraid that the more he talked, the more the woman would misunderstand.

He'll have to go through the trouble of explaining later.

Perhaps it would be better to end the story here.

Xiao Tang was disappointed when she didn't hear what happened next and lowered her eyes.

Never mind, if he doesn't want to talk about it, then so be it.

Anyway, I'll just ask Ning Cang later, right? He'll tell his savior a story from the past, won't he?

She didn't notice the twitch at the corner of the man's mouth beside her.

My wrist was grabbed.

She made a sound of surprise.

"His sister wanted to marry me, but I refused."

"that's all?"

"Hmm. What else?"

Xiao Tang went crazy.

What about the details, the process, and the intricate stories and entanglements in between?

How could you omit all of that?

The carriage stopped at that very moment.

Yan Jiu said, "Your Highness, Your Highness... the Grand Preceptor has arrived."

Xiao Tang felt helpless.

She got off the carriage and saw that Di Jingling was still inside. She figured that the man was unwilling to go in with her to see Ning Cang.

They are mortal enemies.

She didn't ask anything, just said, "I'm going in now."

He remained silent.

Xiao Tang took a few steps, then turned back.

The man inside the carriage remained unmoved.

It seems she really has no intention of going with her to see Ning Cang.

She shrugged gently and went into Ning Cang's house.

Having already received the villain's tacit approval, she arranged for servants to prepare a room for Ning Cang to rest.
