Shen Jingwen was satisfied with the answer he wanted, but Ning Wan was not in a very good mood after returning to her room.
Perhaps she shouldn't have attacked Shen Jingwen. After all, offending the male protagonist, the future powerful official, would not benefit her or the Ning Mansion. It would even give the other party a reason to attack the Ning Mansion in the future.
The original plot described Shen Jingwen as a vengeful person, especially after he ascended to the position of being second only to the emperor, he sent all those who had bullied him to prison, tortured them, and executed them in the autumn to eradicate them completely.
The one who suffered the most was naturally herself. In the end, not even a complete body could be found and she could only die in a stinking dark room. In the end, she was extremely "generous" and left all the Ning Mansion's wealth to him.
As for her parents, Shen Jingwen did not intend to kill them. He just told them the news of her death and then threw them into a side yard and never cared about them again.
Although this move seems painless, it is a fatal blow to the two elders. It can be said to be a murderous move that breaks their heart.
Ning Wan looked at her slightly red palm and sighed, then began to caress it with her other hand.
Ning Wan's dazed look naturally made Xiao Qi feel distressed.
After looking at the host for a long time, who was still analyzing in his mind how cruel the male protagonist was, Xiao Qi was just about to say a few words of comfort when "dirty things" entered his ears again, instantly destroying the sad atmosphere.
——If I had known earlier, I would have hit him harder. Just because the other party had poisoned him with rat poison, he was definitely not innocent in receiving this slap.
Xiao Qi put away the emotions that were just stirred up by the atmosphere and said to himself:
It really is being fooled every day, but Dangdang is different. When will it stop being fooled by the host?
I'm really fed up with wanting to comfort the host and show my thoughtfulness but never having the chance to do so.
"Well, you're looking forward to it? Maybe it'll take a dozen years, or maybe even hundreds of years." An electronic voice suddenly popped up, looking at Xiao Qi sighing, and answered very sincerely:
"Given your current understanding of human emotions, it's difficult to comment. After all, different fields are like different worlds. I wish you success."
Xiao Qi clenched his chubby hands, forcing himself not to look at the black electronic sound. He wanted to say something to refute, but he couldn't find any point to refute. He could only take a deep breath.
Don't get angry, don't get angry. If you get angry, there's no way to stop it. If it gets angry, who will be happy? Be patient and everything will be fine...
No, it can't bear it!
Before Dianyin could react, Xiaoqi dragged him to a corner and had an in-depth emotional exchange with him.
"Seven, do you still remember who accompanied you through numerous planes, spanning the long river of time, and winning the praise of the main system?"
"Do you still remember who helped you conceal the loopholes in the mission, allowing you and the host to complete the mission smoothly?"
"No, you don't remember. You only have eyes for your host..."
At this moment, Xiao Qi was extremely regretful. He looked at the electronic voice coming back from the training and interrupted the other party's spell:
"Shut up! Don't think I don't know you're a spy sent by the main system!"
Having his identity exposed, Electronic Sound felt a little embarrassed and shrank into a corner, struggling to say, "Although I am the leader of the main system, my heart is on your side."
Xiao Qi sneered: "Don't think it doesn't know that the other party is reporting to the main system. How does the saying go: When you are in Cao's camp, your heart is sweating..."
The electronic sound that was inevitably beaten up huddled in the dark, touched its bruised face, and sighed slowly:
These days, even the truth is not allowed to be spoken.
Xiao Qi thought about it and finally revealed the protagonist's motivation for asking that question: [Host, the protagonist seems to have discovered that you gave him an order.]
[The reason I asked that question just now was to test whether the host really had the ability to control him.]
Ning Wan had already recovered from her shock. After listening to Xiao Qi's analysis, she couldn't help but feel that it was fortunate that the command only had one chance, and she could decide whether to use it or not.
Otherwise, with Shen Jingwen's vigilance, his abnormality might have been discovered.

After Shen Jingwen left the inner house of Ning Mansion, he walked out of the mansion.
On the street, there are vendors setting up stalls and shop owners, all of them smiling with their mouths open, trying to attract passers-by.
“Shen Jingwen?”
A voice came from behind Shen Jinggu. He turned around and saw that it was Wu Laoer, who lived next door to him, a craftsman who made a living by selling plasters.
"It really is you!" Wu Lao Er looked at Shen Jingwen, who seemed to have changed into a different person, and couldn't help but sigh, his eyes full of joy: "I thought I recognized the wrong person."
There were many people on the street, so Wu Lao Er naturally had no intention of reminiscing about the past in public. After glancing at the corner, Shen Jingwen understood what he meant and walked over.
"Where have you been these days? Why haven't I seen you go out?"
Shen Jingwen looked at Wu Laoer in front of him, his brows relaxed slightly, and he said truthfully: "Ning Mansion."
Wu Lao Er froze visibly for a moment, looking at Shen Jingwen who didn't seem to be joking. It took him a while to come back to his senses and said slowly: "These past few days, the neighbors have been saying that you are going to be very successful and climb up the social ladder. I didn't believe it at first."
After saying this, Wu Lao Er paused and said, "Now that I've met you, don't hide anything from me. Just tell me the truth. Are you really engaged to the daughter of the Ning family as they say?"
Ever since Shen's mother fell ill, Elder Wu often helped Shen Jingwen find some easy jobs, such as copying articles, which helped him get through a difficult time.
Therefore, Shen Jingwen had no intention of lying, "It is true."
Hearing this, Wu Lao Er was overjoyed at first, but then he lowered his eyes, "It's a good thing that you are favored by the Ning family."
"But the Ning family's purpose is probably not simple!"
Shen Jingwen frowned slightly and asked carefully, "Why do you think so?"
"Have you ever heard about what happened between Miss Ning and Young Master Zhou?" Wu Lao Er looked at the young Shen Jingwen and was not shy to speak. Instead, he explained seriously:
"You can establish a relationship with Miss Ning, but you can't break away from the young master of the Zhou family."
"I heard from the government that Master Zhou tricked Miss Ning into the mountains and left her alone. That's what led to the disaster, and you took advantage of it."
"But Xiao Jing, you have to think it through. The Ning family probably doesn't want you to become an official when they arrange this marriage for you. You should make plans early."
There was a hint of prejudice in Wu Lao Er's words, implying that Shen Jingwen's current identity was to climb the Ning family.
But this was not a mockery, but a fact, so Shen Jingwen did not care, but just carefully thought about Wu Laoer's last words.
