After that, Yang Cheng married countless wives and concubines. Later, news of his extinction spread, and all sorts of troubles broke out in his family, making him a laughing stock.
As for the second wife, she was in a state of panic after Lin Su woke up. Every time she saw Lin Su, her face turned pale. One day, she was so scared that she fell into a well. When she was fished out, her body was already cold.
When the elder of the Lin family passed away, Lin Su should have observed three years of mourning. However, His Majesty directly issued an edict to exempt him from the mourning period because she was only his stepmother. Although some people complained, no one opposed it.
Although the events of the Lin Mansion that day were not known to everyone in the city, people with connections knew a thing or two. The stepmother poisoned her legitimate son, who was also a high-ranking official in the court. Such a crime deserved to be cut into pieces, but unexpectedly, she committed suicide out of fear of punishment. Such a person was naturally not worthy of Lord Lin's mourning for her.
The rumor was that he committed suicide out of fear of punishment, but even Lin Qingtang felt that such a person would not commit suicide: "Is there any clue to this matter? There are rumors outside that it was you, young master, who did it."
"Do you believe the rumors?" Lin Su asked with a smile.
Lin Qingtang shook his head: "Of course I don't believe it. The young master is decisive in his actions, but he will only punish the guilty. He will not easily ignore the law and kill people."
Even if he wanted to punish the second wife, he would not use such means.
"Just trust me and ignore what others say." Lin Su said.
The person who did this was none other than Lin's father himself. If he really sent the person to the government, I'm afraid both Lin Wang and his father would suffer, and his stepmother's family would also be implicated. Although Lin's father had doted on her for many years, he would do this for the sake of the family.
Everyone is dead, and Lin Su has no intention of implicating innocent people.
With such a reason, Lin Su moved into a new residence with Qing Tang. After the seventh day after his second wife's death, Emperor Zhaoyang issued an imperial decree to grant them a marriage.
Everyone in the court was shocked, but Lin Su accepted the order and thanked the emperor, assuring him that he would have only one wife in his life and would not take concubines or mistresses.
This is equivalent to cutting off one's own descendants. After all, the three imperial doctors diagnosed that the Shangshu had no hidden illness, so the previous rumors were naturally self-defeating.
There were rumors in the court that the emperor was afraid that Lin Su's achievements would become too great and threaten his sovereignty, while others said that this was Lin Su's strategy of showing weakness. However, when the woman heard this, she was mainly filled with envy.
In this world, women are not allowed to be jealous, but if a woman truly loves her husband, she will feel bitter because her husband favors someone else.
Although some people said that this Shangshu may not be as infatuated as he said, their wedding really moved the world and was recorded in history books.
Years, years, decades passed, and the two of them remained the same as before, just the two of them facing each other. When they walked together, they smiled at each other, their affection so strong that it made others envious. It even led to the men in the capital following their example and marrying only one wife, and many of them became famous stories.
[System evaluation: The reward for completing the mission is S-level. Mission one earns 5,000,000 star coins, mission two earns 5,000,000 star coins, and an additional 5,000,000 star coins, for a total of 15,000,000 star coins. This has been transferred to the account. The reason for the additional reward: The fate of the two protagonists was not changed, but their brother was found and saved from death. Please continue to work hard.]
Lin Su stretched. In his previous world, he had to pay attention to his appearance and posture when walking, sitting or lying down. Although he was self-disciplined by nature, sometimes he also wanted to relax.
As for why it was rated S, Qi Qingyi and Yang Cheng were already following a tragic love story. Even with Lin Qingtang around, it would have been difficult for them to fall in love. Even if they did fall in love, their personalities were incompatible and they tortured each other.
When you can't have the person, you naturally look up to them and think they are extremely beautiful. But when they are with you, you don't need to look up to them all the time, and there will be friction between you. If you don't maintain them carefully, even the strongest feelings will be worn out, and you may even be worse than an ordinary couple, who will only get tired of each other.
Lin Qingtang eventually became a high-ranking official, but until his death, his eyes and heart were filled with only him.
Lin Su thought about that look and smiled: [Let’s start the next world.]
06 I feel like the host is more proactive than before: [Okay.]
[06 System prompt: World loading, memory transfer in progress...]
When I opened my eyes, I saw a deep blue color. The light shining through it was not dazzling, but instead made the floating sand look as ethereal as fragments of the galaxy.
Is this... the bottom of the sea?
Lin Su raised his fingers. There were no wrinkles on them from being soaked in water. Instead, they were smooth and delicate when he rubbed them. Through the light, the skin and bones of his fingers were so white that they were almost transparent.
Although he was clearly in the sea, he felt no difficulty breathing. Lin Su moved his legs and wanted to stand up, but when he saw the fish tail rising in front of his sight, he raised his eyebrows.
[06, What is this?] Lin Su asked.
[According to research, this is your fish tail. You are now a two-and-a-half-meter-long mermaid.] 06 Data Scan said, [According to the settings of this world, you also possess extremely strong fertility.]
There is a lot to discuss when it comes to fertility. The ability to help others fertilize and the ability to fertilize yourself are definitely two different things.
Lin Su raised a question, and 06 answered dutifully: "They all do, but the species itself doesn't have the ability to reproduce, so having sex multiple times won't help."
Lin Su understood, but he didn't expect that his body could still have children.
Yes, it's interesting, but it makes people... not want to try it.
Lin Su only moved his tail and could not swim fast. In his memory, he had the experience of running out from the deep sea with another mermaid, but they encountered a water dragon. Even though mermaids could survive in the deep sea, they could not resist such a strong tearing, so the two mermaids who escaped out both died.
He is one of them, and the other one is the mermaid who is the protagonist and is reborn by Cheng Qi.
The protagonist is reborn with his body intact, but he can only exchange recovery potions with the system to avoid becoming a dead fish and being eaten by the extremely beautiful fish swimming around.
There were no humans here, so the recovery potion didn't need to be used at a miraculous speed. Lin Su regained his strength, and with just a few flicks of his tail, he flew a long way across the seabed, many times faster than humans could swim.
It was just that the speed was too fast and it was difficult to grasp the direction. The sudden movement also confused the fish on the seabed. When they found there was no danger, they gathered together again and swam leisurely.
It's not like Lin Su had never been a fish before, but he was a different species, his strength was different, and his adaptation to the sea was even more different. Fortunately, he had previous experience, so he naturally adapted much faster than others. This led to him swimming through this sea area and discovering that when the protagonist was injured, the mermaid with the azure fishtail was lying unconscious in the coral reef.
The long azure hair floated gently with the undercurrent of the sea, revealing the palm-sized white face and lips as red as roses. Although her eyes were closed, one could tell from the curvature of her eyes and the length of her eyelashes that this mermaid would be very beautiful when she opened her eyes.
