Chuanwen sat down on a rock next to the artificial hill and began to organize the plot.
She noticed the plot was being rearranged when she went to the palace before, and now she has time to sort it out.
There are three main changes to the plot:
First: The Marquis of Changxing, who should have died, survived, but the fate of the Marquis of Changxing's mansion being destroyed did not change.
Second: Princess Chaoyang, who should have been tortured to death after the New Year, is now alive and well. Princess Baohui no longer hates the Marquis of Changxing's mansion. Princess Baohui is also absent from the plot of the Third Prince destroying the Marquis of Changxing's mansion.
As for why the male protagonist, the Third Prince, wanted to destroy the female protagonist's family, that's a standard feature of tragic novels. He had to physically and emotionally abuse the female protagonist before the male protagonist had to go through a "wife-chasing" or "cremation" scenario.
Chuanwen complained that the melodramatic plot was really annoying, and then went on to organize the third point of change:
Hmm? Chuan Wen was puzzled; the plot regarding the top scholar Zhang Qing had actually changed.
Chuanwen quickly ate the melon. She hadn't seen Zhang Qing since returning to the Marquis of Changxing's residence. Even if the above changes were the butterfly effect of her not fighting or grabbing, they shouldn't involve Zhang Qing, right?
In the original story, Zhang Qing is the youngest daughter of Prime Minister Zhang. She was sent to a remote village to be raised from a young age. She studied with a female teacher on the village and later disguised herself as a boy to participate in the provincial, county, metropolitan, and palace examinations. Until a year ago, she became the top scholar and amazed everyone with her essay on governing the people.
The emperor originally wanted to keep her in the capital as an official, but she had ambitions beyond the capital and requested to be transferred to a post outside the capital.
Later, a drought struck the region where she served as an official, and the relief funds were meager. She began to investigate the matter and later found some evidence of crimes. She then went to the capital with the refugees, but was intercepted and killed. She barely escaped death by meeting the Third Prince, but the Third Prince also discovered her secret as a woman.
Therefore, Zhang Qing and the Prime Minister's Mansion were bound to the Third Prince, which was a major boost to the Third Prince's ascension to the throne. However, before the Third Prince seized the throne, Zhang Qing's identity had already been questioned by his political enemies, so he had no choice but to agree to the Third Prince's plan, faking his death and being absorbed into the Third Prince's harem as a concubine.
For a long time, Zhang Qing served as the Third Prince's strategist, so although she was a concubine, she still held considerable influence in the Third Prince's household. This is why she was later able to help the female lead escape the Third Prince's residence.
Because Zhang Qing helped the female lead escape, he was blacklisted by the Third Prince. Once he was firmly established as emperor, he poisoned Zhang Qing to death and also used a fabricated charge to eliminate Zhang Hui, a minister whom he feared.
However, the above plot regarding Zhang Qing has now been changed.
Zhang Qing will arrive in the capital with the refugees in a few days, where he will also be intercepted and killed. However, he will not be saved by the Third Prince, but rather...
Chuanwen frowned as he looked at the name: Chaoyang?
Moreover, after saving people, Zhang Qing's female identity was not discovered. What's even more shocking is that Chaoyang actually fell in love with Zhang Qing at first sight!
Chuanwen's face was full of doubt, confusion and incomprehension. Wasn't Chaoyang head over heels in love with Zhou Yong? How come he fell in love with Zhang Qing at first sight?
Continuing on, Chaoyang repeatedly tries to win Zhang Qing's favor, but Zhang Qing remains as unyielding as a stone. Chuanwen aptly remarks, "It's impossible for her to be both warm and pliable with flattery." But then he reconsiders, "Being both warm and pliable isn't necessarily a bad thing. Who says two women can't have love between them?"
After that, the plot regarding Zhang Qing became unclear. Whether she became involved with the Third Prince again, or whether she was ultimately poisoned, remains unknown.
A commenter, halfway through reading the gossip, complained that the plot was too unintelligent, asking why it couldn't even be calculated based on the big data related to millions of tragic novels.
Just as she was sighing with her chin in her hand, she seemed to hear someone talking as they walked towards her.
"Why have you been getting so close to that country girl these past few days?"
A reproachful voice lingered, "Don't forget that your brother was sent to the countryside because of that peasant family!"
Then came an even smaller voice of defense, “Mother, my brother being sent to the estate has nothing to do with Second Uncle and the others. He was bewitched by that mistress and did something wrong. How can you blame Second Uncle and the others?”
"Also, didn't Father tell you to stop calling your second uncle and the others 'peasants'? It doesn't sound good to them. The eldest son of the Marquis of Changxing should rightfully belong to your second uncle; we've gotten the better deal. Please don't say that again."
The voice was somewhat exasperated. "How can you be just like your father, unable to distinguish right from wrong! How can it be that we're the ones who benefited, that they're just unlucky and have a cheap life? Why can't I say anything!"
"Also, you should stay away from that girl from now on. Didn't you see she offended Princess Bao Hui? This time she was summoned to the palace for a reprimand, but who knows what will happen next time! Do you want to suffer the same fate?"
“Sister Wen wasn’t summoned to the palace for a reprimand; she was even rewarded with a box of gold.” The voice defending her was still soft, but firm.
"You...you're going to drive me crazy!"
After saying this, Wang walked closer to the artificial hill and saw the inscription behind it.
Chuanwen sat on a large rock, his hands supporting his chin as if deep in thought. When he looked up, his eyes met those of Wang.
At first, Wang felt guilty for being overheard talking badly about others, but then she immediately became furious and pointed at Chuanwen, saying, "How dare you eavesdrop on other people's conversations!"
Chuan Wen looked innocent and said, "Because I had a dream yesterday."
What?
Both Wang and Chuanyu, who wanted to speak up for her sister Wen, were stunned.
"What...did you dream about?"
Chuan Yu tried to ask.
I dreamt of an old immortal.
Chuanwen blinked, paused, and looked at Wang Shi and Chuanwen with puzzled expressions. "So, what happened next?"
Chuanwen continued, "The old immortal told me there was a piece of gold behind the artificial hill, and told me to come and pick it up at this time today."
"Did you find it?" Chuanyu asked curiously.
Chuanwen looked at Chuanyu, who was even more naive than her, and smiled, "I didn't find it."
Chuan Yu was charmed by Chuan Wen's adorable smile and was about to comfort the naive and trusting Wen when she heard the trusting Wen say, "But I stepped in a stinky pile of poop."
Chuan Yu was stunned for a moment, and Wang Shi, who was about to sneer that Chuan Wen was obsessed with gold, was also stunned.
Then Wang's expression changed drastically, her face turning red with anger. "You, you, you brat! You're actually making veiled insults, calling me...you..."
Despite several attempts, Wang, a woman from a wealthy family who valued her reputation, failed to expel the stinky poop. However, Chuanyu quickly stopped Wang, who was about to slap Chuanwen.
"Mother, please calm down,"
Chuanyu patted Wang Shi's back to help her catch her breath, and then gave Chuanwen a look that signaled her to hurry up and leave. Chuanwen made a face at Wang Shi, then lifted her skirt and ran off in a flash.
Wang: No way, I'm so angry!
Especially when she saw the smile that her maidservant accidentally revealed, Wang felt even more ashamed. How dare a mere maidservant mock her! She glared hatefully in the direction Chuanwen had left, gritting her teeth. It was all that sharp-tongued brat's fault for making fun of her!
Wang's eyes rolled back and she fainted.
