The next morning, during mealtime, Su Juan was obviously absent-minded, and all she could think about was last night's dream.
Duke Ping had people prepare a lot of her favorite foods. Seeing that she didn't eat much, he frowned and said, "Girl, these don't suit your taste?"
Su Juan finally came to her senses and shook her head, "No, I just had a lot of dreams last night. I guess I was a little too attached to my bed and didn't sleep well."
Duke Ping smiled and said, "Then stay in the Duke's Mansion. You will get used to it after a while."
Just then, Xie Xun, who had finally gotten up, walked over step by step. His steps were slower than usual, and it was obvious that his butt was still sore from being spanked last night.
When he saw Su Juan, he complained, "I was beaten with twenty sticks for you, and you, a heartless little thing, didn't even come to see me all night."
Although those twenty blows were not a big deal, seeing that Su Juan was still here, it was obvious that she did not leave last night. During this long night, she did not even come to care about herself.
Su Juan's eyes fell on his buttocks. "Men and women should not touch each other. How can I, a girl, go to your yard in the middle of the night?"
[Xie Xun's butt seems to be a little bigger than yesterday. Has the swelling not gone down yet? ]
Duke Ping's look was indescribable. Why did this little niece always stare at other people's butts?
Xie Xun sat directly on the chair, blocking Su Juan's gaze, and stared at her with resentful eyes, "As a girl, you are embarrassed to go to a man's yard in the middle of the night, but you are embarrassed to stare at a man's butt?"
Su Juan coughed lightly and retracted her gaze, "No, I just care about you."
[I was just concerned about your butt, but I didn't expect it to be quite big. It seems that the old emperor's twenty strokes of the cane were quite fierce.]
Xie Xun felt very disappointed. He thought that the twenty beatings he had received were in vain.
He buried his head in his porridge, and then heard Su Juan's voice again...
[If she were to wear a bun and play a song at Baihua Tower, she would be able to rival Miss Xianyun.]
"Cough—cough cough!" Xie Xun choked on the mouthful of porridge.
He coughed so hard that his face turned red. What the hell!
Comparing me with the girls in Baihua Tower?
How good-looking is this Young Master Xie? Can Song Qianfan’s old lover in Baihua Tower compare with him?
What's that look in Su Juan's eyes? Is she blind?
[No need for rouge, look at her blushing face, as rosy as a peach! ]
Xie Xun: “…”
He looked at Duke Ping, who was watching the fun on the side, with an unfriendly look: Old man, you are the one who found the person, why don't you do something about it?
Duke Ping spoke up for Su Juan, "Look, little girl Su cares about you so much."
Xie Xun: Do you care about my butt?
Duke Ping looked at him accusingly: What's wrong with letting the girl look at you twice? Why are you so pretentious? The Minister of War didn't say anything.
Xie Xun went crazy: Is it true that my butt isn’t a butt?
Su Juan sighed, "Actually, a big butt is a good thing. After all, there are some things he can't do, so isn't this a way to make up for it?"
Xie Xun: ??? What’s wrong?
Why didn’t I understand what you said?
Duke Ping also looked at his son. What's wrong?
Su Juan looked calm as she drank the porridge in her bowl. [A big butt can please many people.]
Xie Xun's eyebrows twitched. Who wants to be liked?
[After all, it feels good to play. 】
Xie Xun: “?!”
Thank you so much for praising my ass.
Su Juan stretched out her hand to pick up some food, but just as her chopsticks were about to fall, they were snatched away by Xie Xun. She turned to pick up something else, but Xie Xun snatched it away every time. This happened over and over again, and Su Juan realized that Xie Xun was holding a grudge against her.
[You are so stingy. I just looked at your butt twice. I don’t even look at other people’s butts. ]
Seeing that the two were about to fight with their chopsticks, Duke Ping had to speak up to ease the atmosphere, "Today is a day off. I have some things to do in the palace. You can take Su girl to walk around the mansion, or go out."
As he said this, he glared at his son in front of him, warning him with his eyes: Don't take Su Juan to such a messy place.
Don't think he doesn't know. Xie Xun takes Su Juan and Liu Xuan to the brothel all day long and is almost leading them astray. Look at Su Juan, he's almost become a drunkard now.
Knowing that Duke Ping was going to the palace, most likely to see the Queen, Xie Xun waved his hand and said, "I know, I know."
On that day, as soon as Duke Ping got on the carriage, Xie Xun came back to life, dressed up in fancy clothes, and was about to go out, waving his fan, ignoring Duke Ping's words.
Su Juan looked at his outfit, from the hair tie on his head, to the material of his clothes, to the accessories around his waist, and even the boots on his feet, she could tell at a glance that it was extremely expensive.
[The Xie family... is indeed rich. ]
Xie Xun was waving a fan, his eyes slightly curved. With the wealth accumulated by several generations of his Xie family, he was naturally rich.
[If Xie Xun hadn't been squandering the family's wealth, the Xie family would probably have been unable to spend it all in several lifetimes.]
Xie Xun paused in fanning himself and looked at Su Juan. What do you mean by wasting money? What he was doing was living a reasonable life. What's the point of keeping the money if he doesn't spend it?
[They are rich and powerful, and have produced three queens. Fortunately, Xie Xun is an uneducated playboy, otherwise the Xie family would not have survived until Song Qianfan ascended the throne.]
Xie Xun was slightly stunned. Song Qianfan ascended the throne... and he was not the King of Han, nor the King of Jing.
As Su Juan thought about it, she recalled her dream last night. That was everything she had really seen through the system. Xie Xun, who was in rags and had no water to drink, had his hands tied by the officials and was being dragged away on a tall horse, like a sick and miserable dog.
The picture gradually overlapped with the scene in front of him of a man in gorgeous clothes, behaving ostentatiously.
Su Juan suddenly felt very depressed. At that time, she was not familiar with Miao Qing, Duke Heping, Xie Xun, Song Qianhang and Liu Xuan. She had never even spoken to Liu Xuan.
In the past, she just thought of this as a fictional parallel world. As long as she completed the mission, it was fine. As for who died or how many people died, it was not her concern. To her, these people had nothing to do with her.
But now, when Su Juan thought that they would eventually end up on their destined path, she felt very uncomfortable and could not be happy. Her mood suddenly became a little depressed.
Every person in front of her was flesh and blood, and she seemed unable to regard them as ordinary people in a fictional parallel world.
Su Juan had never had such a strong desire before. She wanted to change everyone's fate, to have a wise ruler in the world and peace in the world.
“Sizzle—sizzle—sizzle—”
Su Juan was slightly stunned, [System?]
【Is the system restored? 】
Xie Xun paused and turned to look at Su Juan. System?
Is that the artifact that allows Su Juan to foresee the future?
Su Juan stopped and couldn't wait to open the panel to check the system. However, to her disappointment, the system still hadn't been repaired. But she found that the task panel had changed...
A progress bar showing the collection of wise ministers popped up on the system panel.
Even the taskbar has changed: The new emperor has ascended the throne and the world is at peace.
Su Juan was stunned. He clicked on it and saw several names on the list. [Collecting wise ministers?]
Xie Xun: “?”
