In the past, Jingrou thought that after she transmigrated to this era, she would stay in the backyard, eat the snacks she wanted, listen to gossip, and maybe marry a law-abiding person with the help of her maternal grandfather's influence. Anyway, her daily life was quite nice and carefree. She didn't need to think about too many things. The only thing she needed to do was earn points. However, she hadn't thought that far ahead yet. After all, she was still a child and it wasn't time to think about these things. But Jingrou also believed that if she really thought about this in the future, her maternal grandfather and grandmother would follow her heart and wouldn't pressure her too much. Even after entering the palace, she wasn't involved too much.
Even her opinion was taken into consideration before she was allowed to enter the palace.
As for Mingxuan's matter, it was because he was a good friend of hers that Jingrou felt a little reluctant to do it. In addition, the other girls were also indignant, so it was a coincidence that brought about this.
So it wasn't something she intentionally wanted to do; it just happened by chance, and she felt it was very meaningful, as it helped her good friend and might have a more profound impact.
But now Jingrou's thoughts have changed a little.
Because of that long-term mission, and because of her uncle's near-death experience, Jingrou realized that these points would play an increasingly important role in protecting her family and improving her life in the future...
If before she only wanted more points for a greater sense of security, so she could do more to help her family, then in the future these points might become something that saves her life, ensuring her uncle's safety.
Back at Prince An's residence, Ayuxi recounted his ordeal, which left Jingrou terrified.
Others might be wondering if it was a miracle from the Eternal Heaven, or have many other speculations, but this person knew that it was the effect of his own pill!
If it weren't for that pill, would Uncle have been able to come back safely? Jingrou felt that this was a big unknown.
Moreover, it feels really good to help others, especially now that I see Mingxuan's bright and cheerful smile.
The thought that her smiling face, if it continued like this, would turn gray and then numb—like those old women with white hair who have experienced countless setbacks. Their faces don't show dejection or despair, but numbness.
Because they had lost all feeling for such things and had endured too much suffering.
This incident made her start to consider what benefits the long-term task issued by the system would bring her.
But do I really have to just lie around like a couch potato in this era?
Could you do a little more?
Or should we try to play our part and be more proactive?
Actually, she didn't need to put in much effort at all, because she had a cheat code like the system after quitting.
In addition, his current background naturally gave him a relatively good family background—which was a very important and fortunate thing in ancient times.
She came into this era and received a lot of love and affection—of course, there was also malice, but that was only a minority.
This made Jingrou start to consider what she could do, what she could do with the system's cheat code to do something extraordinary, or something useful for others, instead of just receiving without giving anything in return...
Although she had only considered it that way recently.
"What is it?" Yinreng asked with interest.
"How many times have you gone outside the palace?"
“Two or three times…” Yinreng thought for a moment and then said.
That was the only time I visited the temple, and also at the residence of Lord Chen. That was all.
However, it seems that he encountered Jingrou every time he had the few opportunities to leave the palace.
Moreover, since he started learning more and more, he hasn't had much time to go outside the palace, which worries his father.
“I used to feel so pitiful, losing my mother at such a young age, but when I paid attention to others, I realized how fortunate I am!” Jingrou thought for a moment, then rested her chin on her hand and said, “Not to mention other places, there are many people in the capital who have lost their mothers, or even both parents! But they not only went to Shuangqing, they also have no money, and their lives are very miserable, unlike us who lack nothing. Compared to them, we are fortunate…” Jingrou sighed.
This happened during one of her casual outings from the palace. She encountered several children begging on the street, and Jingrou felt compassion for them, fearing they were too young to be safe. So she didn't give them money, but only some food. Her steward went to check on them and learned about their plight. This made Jingrou feel a little sad.
“If you’re really interested, why don’t you come with me and take a look when you have some free time? What you saw when you went out before was probably much more superficial, right? How can you see the real capital city if you just take a stroll around the streets?” Jingrou’s eyes sparkled.
Previously, Yinreng simply thought she was cute, and sometimes her quirky and clever behavior was very endearing.
But at this moment, Yinreng felt that she was shining with wisdom, a radiance that emanated not only from her eyes but also from her body and from her heart.
This is not the same as knowing that she is clever and intelligent.
Yinreng nodded blankly, seemingly unaware of what he had just agreed to.
On second thought, it's actually a good thing to agree. Seeing how those people live their lives might stop me from feeling sorry for myself like this.
Yinreng thought about it seriously.
"Okay... If we've agreed on this, then we'll go back and persuade our elders at home!" After saying this, Jingrou winked and left playfully.
Yinreng glared at her. Jingrou was fine, but his elders... might not be so easily persuaded!
The thought of telling his father was giving him a headache, as he couldn't even articulate why. It felt like someone had secretly dug a huge pit for him!
Jingrou was quite pleased with herself. Instead of muttering to herself here, constantly thinking about how lucky she was, she decided to go out and see who was truly less fortunate!
It turns out I haven't experienced enough trials and tribulations, and I haven't seen enough of the world.
As for whether I should be more laid-back or more proactive, I hadn't actually come to a concrete conclusion.
She'll just follow her heart for now and do what she can. After all, she's still young, and even with the system as her advantage, her age limits her involvement in very few areas. She can only proceed slowly.
