This widower had two previous wives, both of whom he had beaten to death. However, he was quite capable, so people around him generally turned a blind eye. Even the families of his first two wives chose not to pursue the matter as they received satisfactory financial compensation.

The original owner was married off just like that, and not surprisingly, she was tortured and covered in bruises. This man not only beat her, he also practiced perverted sexual abuse.

Not only that, the widower wanted to sleep with the original owner less than a month after she gave birth to the child, and the original owner died in the end.

During the years she was beaten, she tried to escape and struggle, and she also asked her father for help, but it was all in vain. They watched her suffer without any sympathy, and even thought she was ignorant.

The original owner died just like that, and the widower, fearing a major incident, lied and claimed she had died of illness, as she was the Shangshu family's daughter.

Rong Xi listened to what the system said and was so angry that she couldn't help shaking. If possible, she wanted to kill the widower right now.

"What about the mission object?"

The system spoke again, "It's quite a coincidence that the so-called outsider in the mansion is the target of this mission, the current emperor Ji Cheng'an. The reason why he left the palace this time is because the secret guards found out that a miracle doctor had come to the capital.

He had been childless for many years, and the palace doctors all said that he would never have his own children in the rest of his life. He didn't believe it and kept trying for all these years.

However, his action was discovered this time, and assassins were sent to kill him. He was injured and fled to the Shangshu Mansion.

The first person to discover him was Jiang Rongyuan, the woman who just appeared in your yard, but when she saw the target of the mission, he was seriously injured. She wanted to call for help, but was threatened with a knife by the target of the mission.

Although she didn't dare to tell anyone, she still thought of a solution and threw the clothes that the task target had changed into the original owner's yard, which led to everything that happened later.

"So what you mean is that the target of the mission will soon be hunted down and brought to the Shangshu Mansion."

System [Yes.] The system was silent for a moment, then spoke again. [Rong Xi, the man is already on the roof. He looks seriously injured.]

"Take me there."

System [OK.]

After lying in bed for a while, Rong Xi felt much warmer. He got up, put on some thicker clothes, and followed the system's instructions to go out.

While walking on the road, I listened to the system explain the mission this time.

System [Task 1: Give birth to a child for the task target, break the childless situation, and avoid the suffering caused by the struggle for the throne in the future.

Mission 2: Avenge the original owner by making the widower suffer a thousand times more pain than the original owner.

Mission 3: Find the original owner's aunt and ask her why she abandoned him, thus resolving the mystery that has plagued him for years.

Rong Xi still held the basin in his hand, with two pieces of dirty clothes in it, so that going out would not seem so deliberate.

It was still drizzling outside. Rong Xi's thin figure was walking in the backyard. Many servants saw her but pretended not to see her, and would not go up to greet her. She seemed like a transparent person.

System [Rong Xi has arrived. This is Jiang Rongyuan's residence. The target of the mission is in the utility room next to her.]

"good."

The sky gradually darkened, and Rong Xi walked in. As she expected, the door was closed as soon as she entered. At this time, a knife was placed on her neck, and the person holding the knife was the target of the mission, Ji Chengan.

"Don't scream, or I'll kill you."

Rong Xi was indeed frightened. His heart was pounding at the moment and he spoke nervously and fearfully.

"You, who are you and why are you here?"

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. Where is this?"

Ji Cheng'an was indeed in a bit of a mess this time. There were too many people chasing him, so he separated from the guards and ran randomly to the yard of a family. He really didn't know where he was.

"This, this is the residence of the Minister of Works. You'd better leave quickly, otherwise if someone finds you, you will be sent to the government. My father is very powerful."

The little girl's chest was heaving violently. She looked really scared and her voice was trembling.

Ji Chengan wanted to say something, but the wound on his abdomen was getting more and more painful, and he had lost a lot of blood while running all the way. If he stayed here any longer, someone might come looking for him soon.

"Find me a quiet place and heal my wounds. I will repay you in the future."

"Then, can you give me a lot of silver?"

Ji Cheng'an didn't care about what she said about money. As long as she agreed, it wouldn't be a problem.

Besides, having a purpose makes people feel more at ease.

"Okay, but you have to keep me safe."

"good."

Rong Xi was now frightened from the bottom of his heart, knowing that the original owner was timid and had never encountered such a scene.

Ji Cheng'an slowly put down the knife in his hand and sat down on the ground weakly.

Rong Xi turned around and looked at him, and asked tentatively, "If I save you, can you promise to give me fifty taels?"

Ji Cheng'an was so angry that he laughed at the small amount of silver she quoted. If she could really save him, let alone fifty taels, even five hundred, fifty thousand, or fifty thousand taels would not be a problem.

But now he really didn't have the energy to argue with her, so he could only nod.

The little girl rubbed her hands excitedly as if she had received a satisfactory answer.

"Hold on for a while. I'll take you to my yard later. I have some leftover medicine there."

"Um!"

Ji Chengan's tense nerves slowly relaxed, but what followed was a dizziness.

He felt that everything in front of him became blurred, as if a veil was covering his vision.

I tried hard to stay awake, but my body involuntarily tilted to one side. In the end, only a blurry figure was left in front of my eyes, and then I slowly fell to the ground and lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, he saw a strange scene and the woman was gone.

Just as he was about to get up, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. He looked down and found that the wound on his body had been bandaged.

Rong Xi also walked in at this time, holding a food box in her hand. Seeing Ji Chengan woke up, she asked in a low voice.

"You're awake now. Are you feeling any discomfort?"

Ji Chengan shook his head and said weakly, "You were the one who bandaged me."

"Do you see anyone else here?"

The little girl was no longer as scared as she was in the utility room before, and instead became much more casual.

"You've been unconscious for a day. Get up and eat something."

Rong Xi did not arrange the person directly in his own room, but placed him in an abandoned woodshed on the east side of the yard. Generally, no one would come here, so he would be safer here.

Ji Chengan was indeed a little hungry now, but he was still very vigilant, wondering if she had poisoned the food.
