Lou Kui sat up straight.
"Aren't you mistaken? It should be the Minqing pomelo whose reputation has plummeted."
System: "It's not that it's reversed, it's just that the host's reputation has plummeted."
Then it told Lou Kui about the rumors circulating outside.
Lou Kui: "..." In just one day, it felt like the world had changed so quickly.
"Didn't Min Qingyou love Fei Yu very much? Why would she want to break off their relationship? Is she out of her mind?!"
Although she enjoys the rumors that she's a heartbreaker, she's very unhappy about it because it affects her popularity rating.
Favorability points can be used to exchange for items. The key is that appearance, temperament, and fair and supple skin all depend on increasing and maintaining favorability points.
System: "I don't understand human emotions, so I can't answer that for you."
"But I detected that the fortune that Fujian green pomelo had lost has begun to recover."
Lou Kui was furious. "She's not following our plan at all. This woman is so annoying."
She asked, "My reputation has plummeted, why should I lose 500 favor points?"
Five hundred favorability points can make your skin all over your body soft and smooth.
System: "Because of your actions, you have affected Fei Yu, the chosen one of this world, so you must be punished."
Lou Kui: "..."
She asked, "Then how can I win her back?"
System: "Hurry up and continue to increase the favorability of the Chosen One and those lucky men, and suppress Min Qingyou."
“Suppressing those women who have good luck is also an option.”
"I've already locked onto them. As long as their luck weakens, yours will naturally increase, and you'll receive a favorability bonus."
Lou Kui narrowed her eyes. "Alright, I'll think of a way to suppress Min Qingyou and the others."
If that Fujian pomelo doesn't follow her plan, she shouldn't blame her for being impolite.
In the past, whenever she showed a bit of provocation, she could provoke Min Qingyou and Fei Yu into a conflict.
She touched her chin, wondering if she should go for something even tougher this time.
However, doing so would likely expose the fact that she is a woman disguised as a man.
Just as Lou Kui was thinking about how to deal with Qingyou, Marquis Pingnan came to the courtyard.
Hearing the maid outside bow, Lou Kui came to her senses and stood up.
Marquis Pingnan was not yet forty years old. He was handsome and upright, and as a military general, he also had a masculine and tough temperament.
Lou Kui saw him and coldly stepped forward, saying, "Greetings, Father."
Marquis Pingnan looked at Lou Kui with a complicated expression, "What's going on between you and the Third Prince?"
Lou Kui guessed that he already knew about the rumors outside. "The Third Prince and I are good friends. Those rumors outside are all fabricated by Princess Ling."
Marquis Pingnan sneered, "If there wasn't some problem, would Princess Ling have broken off her friendship with the Third Prince in public because of you?"
Lou Kui was speechless. "What does this have to do with me? It's entirely Princess Ling's own misunderstanding and false accusation against us."
Seeing her like this, Marquis Pingnan knew that she wouldn't listen to him no matter what he said.
He frowned, then asked, "You want the position of heir apparent?"
Lou Kui raised an eyebrow. "Shouldn't the position of heir apparent be mine?"
"How did my mother die? Why was I sent to my hometown in Qingzhou to fend for myself?"
"Isn't it just that you want us to make room for your stepmother?"
She sneered, "You may dislike the child born to my first wife, but that doesn't erase my identity."
Of course she wanted to compete for the position of heir apparent. It would be difficult for a woman to go out and make friends with the young talents in the capital, so it would be more convenient to disguise herself as a man.
Having a good identity, in particular, has many advantages.
She has some of the original owner's memories, but the original owner did not resent her biased and scumbag father, the Marquis of Pingnan, which made her look down on him.
No wonder they were abandoned in Qingzhou for so many years to fend for themselves.
After she transmigrated, she took the initiative to return to the capital, wanting to reclaim everything that belonged to her.
Hearing Lou Kui's resentful accusations, Marquis Pingnan laughed.
"After living as a man for over ten years, you don't actually consider yourself a man anymore, do you?"
"But if you consider yourself a man, why are you so intimate with the Third Prince? I think you have no sense of propriety or shame at all."
Lou Kui's heart skipped a beat at these words. "I don't know what you're talking about."
Marquis Pingnan said coldly, "I originally didn't want to reveal those past events, but it seems you don't know the truth at all, so I'll make it clear today."
“Your mother’s death has nothing to do with me. It was because she insisted on going to the temple to burn incense and see her lover before giving birth that she fell and had a difficult delivery.”
"It wasn't my order to send you away, but your mother's dying wish was for her to have your wet nurse dress you up as a boy and send you back to your hometown in Qingzhou, never to come back."
"Because you are the child she had while cheating on her, she feels guilty and is afraid that she won't be able to tolerate you if I find out."
"And I don't accept your resentment and accusations. I only married your second wife a year after your mother passed away. I had never even met her before that."
“After she married into the family, I told her that you were a girl, so you pose no threat to them at all, and she won’t bother to deal with you.”
"Isn't it understandable that I'm cold to you?"
He sneered again: "Even if you are my own son, how can a woman be the heir apparent?"
"Besides, I'm not your biological father."
Originally, Marquis Pingnan wanted to keep this matter to himself, but Lou Kui secretly ran back to the capital.
Not only did she continue to disguise herself as a man, but she also deliberately went out to befriend scions of noble families and even got involved with the Third Prince.
He was a neutral party and didn't want this daughter, who wasn't his biological daughter, to ruin the entire Marquis's mansion.
