Chapter 2 My mother is a foot-licking dog
In the 22nd century, a secret laboratory has mastered a top-secret technology and invented a inducer called S-factor that can stimulate human superpowers, but its clinical effectiveness remains to be tested.
Xie Yanyan is a leader in agricultural technology. He has a cold personality, but a high level of ideological awareness. He signed up for the clinical trial of Lead-S without hesitation.
It actually stimulates infinite space within you.
Moreover, this space is connected to her will, and the storage and deployment of materials are entirely based on her thoughts, without being disturbed by any external signals.
In order to collect relevant data, the secret laboratory specially approved her to conduct "street sweeping" operations at night. When she quickly collected all the supplies from a large supermarket, a grain warehouse, and a large comprehensive shopping mall along the street, a mechanical prompt sound suddenly came from her sea of consciousness.
[Material storage is full, the space starts the first upgrade]
A progress bar appears and the cursor moves quickly.
When the progress bar reached 99.99%, there was a loud "pop".
A sharp pain hit the brain and the body was suddenly torn apart.
The moment she lost consciousness, she watched in shock as her body was shattered into pieces and blood splattered everywhere.
When she woke up again, she became Xie Yanyan, the legitimate daughter of the second house, and the space also came with her.
Now, she angrily accepted the huge amount of materials from Huangfu family and faced the space upgrade again.
Another life-and-death test?
The progress bar crawls like a poisonous snake without emotion.
Drop by drop, on that chilly moonlit night in spring, Xie Yanyan was sweating profusely.
【Space upgrade successful】
[Scan transfer range: 500 meters]
[Upgraded derivative ability: mind reading]
[Mind reading effective range: 50 meters]
Xie Yanyan's tense nerves relaxed and he felt a little exhausted.
He led the horse back to the mansion and entered the yard through the back door as usual. He quietly led the horse back to the stable, and then slowly walked to his own yard.
Dinner is served.
Brown rice, half a barrel of watery vegetable soup, a dish of bland gourd, a dish of bitter leaf vegetables, a dish of pickled vegetables, and a few slices of boiled white pork skin.
There was no division in the mansion, and the household affairs had always been in the hands of old lady Shen. A few years ago, she handed over the management rights to my aunt.
The eldest aunt is the old lady's niece.
Young Shen was the head of the household, and the good things were given to the old lady, who was also used to subsidize the first wife for personal gain. When it came to the second and third wives, the treatment was much worse.
This table of dinner would be considered pig food if it were placed at any other restaurant on West Street.
Their mother, Jiang Shuang, the mistress of the second house, prepared such food for her three-year-old grandson, her eldest daughter-in-law who was four months pregnant, and her three growing siblings.
Even so, he still acts like a foot-licker for the old lady all day long.
The second brother Xie Yong and the third brother Xie Lingyu breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Xie Yanyan coming back.
"I met Prince Zhou this morning. He happened to be on his way to the camp outside Beijing to do some work. I asked him to take a letter to my father."
Xie Yong looked at the cold Xie Yanyan. He felt the same as Jiang Shuang, that his sister who had died once seemed different.
His sister used to be very gentle and kind, and he felt sorry for her.
His sister now looked cold and unruly, which made him feel even more distressed.
My father, Xie Anfeng, is the commander of the Yamen Army in the suburbs of Beijing and holds the fourth rank. He is busy with military affairs and has not been home for half a year, so the old lady is so unscrupulous.
Xie Yanyan had never seen Prince Zhou. She heard that he was the legitimate son of the King of Nanhai and had been raised by the Emperor in Kyoto for 10 years.
It is said that this man has a bad temper and has fought with princes and children of powerful people. He hates cats and dogs, but the emperor is kind and wholeheartedly protects him.
I don’t know if I can successfully hand over the letter to my father this time.
"Sister, father will not agree to you marrying a merchant as a mistress. At worst, we can separate and live separately." Xie Lingyu, the younger brother, took her hand and stuffed a bag of bean crisp candy into her hand. "This is a gift from my classmate. Try it."
Xie Lingyu was 10 years old, only as tall as her shoulders, and looked very smart.
Xie Yanyan took the bean curd and gave him a bunch of grapes: "Here you go."
"Ah, where did you get the grapes?" Xie Lingyu excitedly picked one and stuffed it into her mouth. "It's sour and sweet, so delicious. Sister, you eat some too."
Jiang Shuang was angry and desperate when she saw her coming back from outside as if nothing had happened and even buying grapes to eat.
"You still have the heart to eat grapes? The Huangfu Mansion was robbed, and it's hard to raise three hundred thousand taels of silver at once. If the treasures can't be redeemed within three days, your whole family will be sent to prison."
"It's better to send him to jail, but the scumbag who gambles should be beheaded!" Xie Yanyan said calmly.
If someone like Xie Anhuai lived in the 22nd century, he would definitely be working on a sewing machine.
"How can you talk like that? Your uncle wanted to make more money for the family, but he just had bad luck. You didn't think of a way to help the family, but you still made sarcastic remarks!"
"Is gambling for the family's profit? If he loses, my grandparents will sell me to pay off the debt?"
"When one prospers, all prosper; when one suffers, all suffer! Isn't your grandmother doing this for herself, or for the entire family?"
Xie Yong was filled with anger, and angrily said, "My sister finally managed to save her life, and you still want to force her to save the eldest wife? Are you my real mother?"
Xie Lingyu also shouted: "Uncle is not my father, why doesn't Sister Xiangxiang become a concubine to help her father pay off his debts? Why doesn't Xie Tingting from Uncle San marry a merchant as a concubine?"
"Xiangxiang is the most talented woman in Kyoto. She will definitely marry into a wealthy family, which will be of greater benefit to the whole family." Jiang Shuang said dissatisfiedly, "We should all consider the overall situation."
Xie Yongqi's face turned blue.
"Mom, I want to be my eldest aunt's son. Being Aunt Xue's illegitimate son is better than being your legitimate son." Xie Lingyu couldn't argue with Jiang Shuang, and he burst into tears and blurted out that he didn't want to be a legitimate son anymore.
The room was silent.
Jiang Shuang was shocked and angry, the handkerchief in her hand fell to the ground, and her face turned red.
My son would rather be his aunt's illegitimate son than her legitimate son.
Xie Yanyan thought, fortunately, the two brothers did not grow up to be bad.
"Second Madam, someone has come from the palace. The old lady asked the ladies of each room to go to Ci'en Courtyard immediately to greet the distinguished guest."
The maidservant beside the old lady came over, conveyed the old lady's meaning in a cold and stern tone with a bit of disdain, then turned and left.
Jiang Shuang calmed down her flustered mood and habitually urged Xie Yanyan to go quickly and not to keep her grandmother waiting for a long time. Women should be kind and docile.
Xie Yanyan glanced at her and Jiang Shuang shut up awkwardly.
When the mother and daughter arrived at the old lady's Ci'en Courtyard, the room was already filled with the direct female relatives of the first and third wives, sitting in order of seniority.
There was an old maid in palace dress sitting at the upper seat. When she saw Jiang Shuang and her daughter come in, she looked Xie Yanyan up and down with sharp eyes and nodded slightly.
"Pass on the order of the Imperial Concubine Gui, granting the eldest daughter of Marquis Wuyi as the concubine of Prince Xi, and the third daughter as the principal wife of the son of Marquis Cheng'en. The three letters and six ceremonies must be performed according to the rules. The Imperial Concubine Gui will definitely do her best to deal with the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion."
After the old nanny delivered the message, the old lady felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders.
Xie Xiangxiang lowered her eyes, and with the dignified and respectful demeanor of a lady from a noble family, she bowed properly to express her gratitude.
[These two marriages are set, the Marquis's Mansion and Prince Xi are tied together, and my father's matter can be suppressed]
[King Xi will ascend the throne in half a year, I want to get married as soon as possible]
[It's a pity that she's just a concubine]
[Man proposes, God disposes. It is still uncertain who will be the queen and who will be the queen mother in the future.]
Xie Yanyan was not far from Xie Xiangxiang, and was a little stunned when he heard her voice.
The old emperor is still alive and well, and the second prince, Prince Xi, who is not the crown prince, will actually ascend the throne half a year later?
Successful in forcing the emperor to abdicate? Successful in seizing the throne?
But how could Xie Xiangxiang know what happened half a year later?
I don't remember ever hearing that Xie Xiangxiang had the ability to predict the future.
So, Xie Xiangxiang was reborn?
The rebirth time should not exceed 10 days, right? Otherwise, she would definitely prevent Xie Anhuai from being reported in advance.
No wonder, a few days ago, Xie Xiangxiang collided with King Xi's carriage on the street and "accidentally" had physical contact with the other party.
Seeing Xie Yanyan remained silent, the old lady's face darkened and she shouted, "Jiang, Third Girl, why don't you thank me quickly?"
Jiang Shuang looked at the old lady and said hesitantly, "Mother, the son of the Marquis Cheng'en, no, no..."
Baohua, the son of Marquis Cheng'en and the nephew of Concubine Baogui, is known throughout the capital to be a fool.
