Except for Qi Mingxiao, everyone else who heard the inner voice suspected that they were hallucinating, but they all looked at Fujiwara Kounu who was standing behind them.
Seeing that the people in front were looking at him with strange eyes, Fujiwara Kounu was confused.
This time, he came to attend the birthday banquet on behalf of the Fujiwara family, and he had no plans to attack Jun Shutong at the banquet. If too many officials were involved, and if the emperor or any minister was injured, it would be difficult for him to deal with the aftermath.
He had never gotten along with the Jun family, and he disliked this "little freak" even more. He was not interested in drawing lots, so he stood far away and did not hear the conversation between Jun Shutong and the system.
The reason he was able to come today was purely out of face. Almost all the ministers in the court were here, and even the emperor came earlier than him. His Fujiwara family could not lose their composure and be criticized.
Especially Qi Mingxiao, who was afraid that others would not know that he was trying to curry favor with the Jun family, so he insisted on bringing a whole ox cart full of gifts.
[Humph, that old fellow is just a cheap bastard.]
Jun Shutong didn't know that while the system upgrade allowed her to enter and exit the space freely, it also brought a disadvantage, which was that any official of the kingdom above the fifth rank could hear her thoughts as long as they were close.
Just as everyone fell into self-doubt, the voice spoke again:
[Host, why haven't you chosen yet? Didn't your mother tell you to take what you like?]
[I know, but there are too many, I don’t know how to choose.]
Jun Shutong was in a dilemma. She looked at the golden bowl, then the jade bracelet, and then the jadeite. The dagger was also nice, with a crystal embedded in it, and the braised duck next to it. She wanted them all.
Everyone: [It turns out it wasn't an auditory hallucination. What I heard was actually the inner voice of this young lady from the Jun family.]
[But who is this person called the system? Why can't I see it?]
Neither the emperor nor his ministers said anything and pretended not to hear anything, simply because they all thought of one thing at the same time: the rumor about the Jun family six hundred years ago.
[Host, Master Qi also gave me a lot of toys. Don't forget to put them away.]
"Yes, I saw it. It was pulled here by an oxcart. So, why did Lord Qi use an oxcart instead of a horse carriage? Does he have a special liking for cows?"
Qi Mingxiao: Can you speak? Why would I have a hobby for cows? It’s because I’m poor.
The ministers' faces flushed red with embarrassment. They wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. They all glanced at Qi Mingxiao sideways.
System: [I've checked the host. Didn't you tell his fortune a while ago? He and his son have spent all their family savings on medical treatment. Today, to give you a gift, he sold all the carriages in the mansion, and now only has this cow left.]
Jun Shutong glanced at the large yellow ox beside him and said, "I didn't expect that Lord Qi is such a sentimental person. I accepted his gift, but I also accepted the ox. I can't let Lord Qi down."
System: [Yes, the host is very considerate.]
Everyone: Do you want to hear what you have to say? The man is so poor that he has sold his horse-drawn carriage, and you still want to steal this ox-drawn cart. What’s the difference between you and robbers?
Qi Mingxiao wiped his tears and said, "Well, since Miss Jun likes it, let's keep the cow. Salaries are only a dozen days away, so I can have the servants dig up some wild vegetables to get by."
Someone who was quick to react had already moved to Qi Mingxiao's side and said, "Master Qi is a man of high moral character and gratitude. He is a role model for our generation. If you have any difficulties, just ask me. I will not delay."
"May I ask, sir, is this Miss Jun really able to tell fortunes?"
Qi Mingxiao was surprised: [Can they also hear Miss Jun's inner thoughts? ]
