Chapter 303: Sadomasochism (Part 8)
Gu Qingcheng's clever move turned the jade pendant from a valuable item into a token of trust.
This has two benefits:
First, the jade pendant given to him by his mother would not be sold casually, leaving any regrets; second, others would not be able to find out the whereabouts of Gu Qingcheng because of this jade pendant.
"Your Majesty the Queen! Did you do this on purpose?"
Huoshui withdrew his God's perspective and asked in a muffled voice, "You not only want to test Wu Yanniang, but also want to protect your jade pendant."
"Also! Have you noticed that there is something wrong with Wu Yanniang?"
Gu Qingcheng: ...
What has this little idiot been stimulated by? Could it be that he saw something from Wu Yanniang? Originally, Gu Qingcheng didn't want to explain his words and deeds to others.
However, seeing the troublemaker's depressed and greatly irritated look, the thing called "conscience" was slightly touched.
Well, after all, he is my own little idiot. I will have to continue to cooperate with him to complete tasks in the future, so I shouldn’t go too far.
The way to control subordinates is to be ruthless when necessary and to appease when necessary. Both the big stick and the sweet dates are indispensable.
"How is that possible? I'm just smart, not a god. How can I know a stranger's temperament in advance?"
Gu Qingcheng said calmly, "I just know that I was rescued."
"Whether the person who saved me was truly kind and did not ask for anything in return, or was selfish and had other ulterior motives, is still unknown."
"And the odds of good and bad are fifty-fifty."
Half of them are really good people, and the other half are ordinary people with flaws.
Such high odds are enough for a politician to take a gamble.
"Then how could you—" Pretending to have amnesia, what kind of test was that?
Huoshui scratched his head, becoming more and more confused.
Its CPU started to work. "What if Wu Yanniang is a really good person and she didn't lie to make the best of a bad situation?"
What if Your Majesty the Queen made a wrong bet?
Since the probability of good and bad is half and half, there is a possibility of failure.
"Then we should change our strategy and turn 'passive' into 'active'."
Gu Qingcheng was rarely patient, and explained carefully to the little idiot, "For example, Wu Yanniang did not lie to me when I had 'amnesia', but asked about my condition and actively helped me find a doctor."
No selfishness, just kindness.
That’s easy.
"I could be suffering from amnesia, or my intelligence could be degenerating and my memory could be confused—"
Gu Qingcheng said casually.
Huoshui: (⊙_⊙) If pretending to have amnesia fails, then just pretend to be stupid?
Gu Qingcheng was amused by Huoshui's little expression and raised the corners of her lips, "I will 'recognize' this truly kind person and regard her as my relative. For example: my wife!"
Just imagine, if there is a handsome young man, blinking his big innocent and pure eyes, pulling a young girl and calling her "wife".
Even if that person really has no selfish motives, he can't help but be moved.
A virtuous woman is afraid of being entangled by a man. Not only is the man shameless enough, he is also probably good-looking.
Otherwise, it is not "pestering" but harassment.
Besides, she is really kind-hearted. Seeing a good young man become a fool, she will definitely be overwhelmed with compassion and take the responsibility of taking care of the "little fool" regardless of the consequences.
Maybe people have already made preparations: once the little fool recovers from his illness, they will let him go.
If the little fool can never get better, I will take care of him forever!
Trouble: Σ(⊙▽⊙“a “No! Your Majesty, why do you insist on me being your wife?”
If pretending to have amnesia fails, then pretend to be a fool!
Just to marry the one who saved her life? Could it be that the Queen of Heaven is a person of sentimentality - she is willing to give herself to the one who saved her life, unable to repay him?
As soon as this thought popped up in the CPU, Huoshui shook his head desperately.
Come on! Her Majesty the Queen of Heaven is a person who will not do anything without profit.
This time, her character value is terribly low. She can't even maintain the three basic values. How can she talk about "being grateful and repaying kindness"?
Not to mention, the words of Her Majesty the Queen, "I am noble, and it is an honor for others to save me," are still fresh in my mind.
"Because of all relationships in the world, the relationship between husband and wife is the most wonderful and special one."
Gu Qingcheng's voice was very calm, as if she was stating a fact.
The closest or the most distant couple.
Although they have no blood relationship, because of a marriage certificate, two strangers became a couple that transcends friendship and family ties.
In most cases, the relationship between husband and wife can be compared with or even exceed the love that parents have for their children! Huoshui still looked confused.
Gu Qingcheng knew that with this little idiot's intelligence level, it was simply incapable of understanding the complex emotions of humans.
She simply gave an example, "For example, some men in later generations, when they need care, they don't hire a caregiver or a nanny, but marry a wife."
"It's not just because of the 'free babysitting', but because of the different status, women will take care of things differently."
"A nurse or babysitter is just a profession. They are paid to do a job. Whether they do it well or not, and whether they are attentive, all depend on their 'conscience'."
And conscience is the most uncontrollable thing in this world.
It is the most unwise behavior to gamble your own safety on whether others have a conscience.
"A wife is different. She is an identity, one of 'our own'."
"It is her responsibility and obligation to take care of her husband. There are relevant requirements both morally and legally."
"To give another example, in ancient times, ordinary families with surplus food would buy a maid, but most of them were used as child brides, not maids."
"Because even if she was a child bride, her treatment was similar to that of a maid, but because of the word 'wife', she was considered a family member and was given the opportunity to give her her all she had!"
It’s different for maids, they only sell their bodies, not their hearts.
How could someone who had been beaten and scolded since childhood feel close to and loyal to the master's family? Just like the reborn sister-in-law who Gu Qingcheng met during her first mission, she had lived such an unhappy life in her previous life. She hated her mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law, but she still regarded her husband as her own.
It’s not just that husbands have more conscience than other relatives, but the word “husband” itself is different for women!
Gu Qingcheng now has a broken leg and has nothing on her body except a jade pendant.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
There is also a little princess outside who has been reborn and is looking for "him" to do some "counter-abuse". Among the envoys who are supposed to be his entourage, there are people who want to kill him.
Even Huoshui, the idiot, knew that she was facing "internal and external troubles", so how could Gu Qingcheng not know her own difficult situation.
She must find someone reliable to take care of her as soon as possible!
When it comes to serving people, is there anyone more attentive and considerate than a wife?
If they were not husband and wife, Gu Qingcheng would still thank the other person for saving her life and would be very prudent and not cause trouble for him.
But as long as their identities change, they become the so-called "husband and wife".
The positions between the two people will be reversed.
Gu Qingcheng doesn't even need to spend any money, she only needs to say some sweet words to coax a silly woman into working like a slave for her.
Trouble: ...
It was completely convinced!
A big boss is a big boss. His brain is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
However, there are still too many questions about Huoshui.
It thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, what about the future?"
What in the future? Oh, the little idiot is asking, when he is out of trouble, how should he deal with that "cheap wife"? "Ahem, Wu Yanniang is indeed problematic. She stole your jade pendant and lied about it. In the future, you can just throw it away after using it. It seems that you don't have to bear any moral burden."
"But if you meet a really good person and he is deceived by you, how should you deal with it after you are safe?"
Of course, if he is a real villain, he will definitely pull up his pants and ignore everyone.
Maybe he would even turn kindness into enmity and kill to silence the witness.
But Huoshui always felt that her Majesty the Queen still had some bottom line.
"What else can we do? Either give her some money, or keep her by your side as a concubine."
Gu Qingcheng deliberately sneered at Huoshui: Bottom line? You let someone with a character score of only 40 tell you the "bottom line"? Huoshui: ...
"Concubine? You let a woman who truly treats you well be your concubine?" Is this repaying a favor or seeking revenge? Gu Qingcheng frowned, "Do I need to remind you again! My current identity is the ninth prince of the Qing Dynasty, the 'beloved son' of the emperor's favorite concubine."
A royal family!
The "really good person" that Huoshui used as an example was just a country girl.
There are several layers between the royal family and the common people.
Gu Qingcheng letting the woman become a concubine was already a grace that allowed her to cross the class line, and it was also extremely honorable for her.
Don't speculate about the ancients based on the ideas of later generations.
In ancient times, class was really not just two words, nor was it a joke among keyboard warriors.
It is not an iron law, but a shackle that penetrates deep into the soul!
As for those who would rather be the wife of a poor family than the concubine of a rich family, there are such cases, but they are very rare.
The real lower class in ancient times did not have that much "dignity" and their first priority was to survive.
Furthermore, the Ninth Prince is not an ordinary “rich family”; he is a member of the royal family.
Not to mention the ancient times when imperial power was supreme, even in later generations, let alone the crown prince, even the richest man would have many girls clamoring to be his personal assistants.
Even in this novel world, a virtual space and time derived from a love online novel.
It seems that love can conquer all.
But the fact is, only princesses and princes can talk about love, slaves are still slaves, and common people are still common people.
"So what?" As a product of black technology, although the CPU contains countless knowledge and common sense.
But what it recognizes is still freedom, equality, civilization, science, etc.
Ancient natives like Gu Qingcheng who strictly adhered to the hierarchy found it difficult to adapt to the disaster.
Gu Qingcheng: ...I don’t care whether you can adapt to it or not.
As long as the “person involved” knows that it is grace and that the change in fate is caused by the smoke rising from their ancestral graves, that is enough!
Trouble: ...
