"Miss Chu, where did you obtain the treasures of Qingshan Temple?"
Chu Xinxin's voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz: "I, I found it, I climbed the tree, the bird, the bird's nest."
Xu Ming probed a few more times, but Chu Xinxin remained timid.
He began to doubt whether he had made a mountain out of a molehill.
Maybe she just got lucky.
“Miss Chu, I don’t care what abilities you have or how much you’re hiding, once you’ve entered the Xu family and taken on the title of the Xu family’s cousin, you and the Xu family will share the same fate, whether it’s prosperity or ruin.”
"I will not pursue today's matter, but from now on, I hope you will behave yourself and not have any wicked thoughts about places you shouldn't go or people you shouldn't think about."
"You need to know that here, I'm the one in charge."
Xu Ming used a few more threats and inducements before finally releasing the man.
Chu Xinxin had just come out of the study when she was tackled to the ground by a figure.
"You ugly monster! How dare you ruin my plans! I'll beat you to death!"
Xu Ting went berserk, pulling hair and poking eyes, resorting to all sorts of vicious tactics.
The old woman and maid behind her rushed up to pull her away: "Miss, this is the master's study, please don't be impulsive."
Xu Ting gripped even tighter, and Chu Xinxin's head was bleeding from her grip.
"You bitch, you even made me get beaten by my father!"
Taking advantage of their numbers, Chu Xinxin dodged left and right, and Xu Ting's slap landed on the old woman and maid beside her.
The old women and maids, unable to bear it any longer, dragged and carried Xu Ting away.
Following the original owner's memories, Chu Xinxin returned to her small, dimly lit courtyard and asked the system if it had discovered the man's identity.
[No information found. This world has no spiritual power, no technology, no divine power; one can only rely on memories and calligraphy/painting. No one in Xuzhou has ever seen him.]
That's so heartless of them. They just left like that, even though they had a sex scene together.
Chu Xinxin took out the string of Buddhist beads from her bosom and studied them for a while, but she couldn't find any information about the man's identity.
What she gave the abbot was a copy created by the system.
"The abbot of Qingshan Temple is a tight-lipped fellow; he won't reveal a single word."
[Hmm? Sister, you've fallen in love at first sight?]
"Yes."
Chu Xinxin readily admitted it.
"Sister, we're just doing a task, just pick any one."
"Do you think those scumbags from the Xu family would choose a good one for me?"
Let's take the route of celestial beings descending to earth!
The system's meaning is that as long as Chu Xinxin regains her appearance, she can kill people just by looking at her face.
Chu Xinxin rolled her eyes: "If I regained my appearance, I'd probably be stuffed into Wang Shen's arms as a concubine the moment I saw it."
That makes sense. So...shall we go to the capital to find a powerful backer?
Chu Xinxin's true identity is the daughter of Chu Xuan, the prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Her mother was Qi Xiao, the daughter of Qi Lei, the Grand General of the State, who died in childbirth fifteen years ago.
Qi Lei's grief aggravated his old injuries, and he passed away after two years.
All that remained in the Qi family was Chu Xinxin's uncle, Qi Yi, a man who had been poisoned at birth, was physically weak, and whose lifespan was predicted by a divine physician to be no more than twenty-seven years.
So, Chu Xuan got carried away and immediately married his first love.
The first thing Bai Yueguang did after marrying into the family was to abandon Chu Xinxin, who looked exactly like Qi Xiao, in Xuzhou.
On the night Chu Xinxin arrived in Xuzhou, the courtyard where she stayed caught fire. If it weren't for her wet nurse's desperate rescue, Chu Xinxin would probably have been torn to pieces.
Although Chu Xinxin is not dead, she is practically dead.
His appearance was ruined, and everyone avoided him like the plague.
Thick smoke entered my brain, and my mind went from clear to confused.
Xu Ting took pleasure in tormenting her all day long. In the summer, she would kneel on the floor in the sweltering heat, and in the winter, she would wash clothes with her hands soaked in ice water.
If they were even slightly dissatisfied, they would be beaten and scolded at the slightest provocation, living a life worse than even the lowest-ranking maid.
"Terrible, so tragic." Chu Xinxin sighed as she flipped through the original owner's memories.
Originally, Bai Yueguang wanted to poison you, but since your uncle was still alive, she dumped you here at the Xu family mansion, which was many generations removed from yours, so that Xu Ming could find a way to get rid of you once and for all.
Xu Ming wasn't stupid. He was afraid that Prime Minister Chu and Qi Yi would settle scores later, so while telling Bai Yueguang that you were dead, he was also keeping you alive, waiting for the day Bai Yueguang lost power so he could use you to get promoted and make money.
"Tsk, trash."
"That's right, sister. Have you figured out how to get back to Beijing?"
"Let's send a message and medicine to my uncle who's been predicted to live past twenty-seven."
Okay!
Chu Xinxin clenched her fists, her eyes gleaming: "Thirteen years away from the capital, this time, I will take back everything that belongs to me!"
......
Chu Xinxin is petty and vengeful.
She decided to give the Xu family a good thrashing before her cheap uncle came to take her back to the capital.
She hasn't figured out exactly what to do yet.
On her way back to the Xu residence after sending the letter and the elixir, Chu Xinxin pondered for a long time but couldn't figure it out.
Sister, look! There's a carriage stopped to our left!
Chu Xinxin looked up and saw a lantern with the character "Xu" hanging on the carriage.
[Xu Ting secretly meets with Wang Shen.]
Oh?
Chu Xinxin secretly followed them.
In the side room, Xu Ting was held in Wang Shen's arms: "Ting'er, don't worry, I will definitely marry you and never wrong you."
Xu Ting lowered her eyes, concealing the resentment within them: "Brother Shen, of course Ting'er believes you, but Auntie, what Auntie said about the Miss Li from Pingzhou..."
Wang Shen's mother disliked Xu Ting to begin with, and after that incident, she felt ashamed and wanted to arrange for her son to marry her own niece.
As for Xu Ting, she either has to break off the engagement or be carried into the Prince's mansion in a sedan chair to become Wang Shen's concubine.
“Ting’er, I’ve never even met that Miss Li. I won’t marry her. Don’t worry, I’ll persuade my mother.”
As soon as Wang Shen finished speaking, he couldn't wait to kiss Xu Ting with his greasy lips.
Xu Ting suppressed her nausea and pretended to be shy, turning her face away. Wang Shen only kissed her earlobe.
After being kissed a few times by Wang Shen, Xu Ting pretended to cry.
"What's wrong with Ting'er?"
“Brother Shen, you and I have both been embarrassed this time, yet you still defend Ting’er so much, even going against your own mother. Ting’er is not worthy of this. Why don’t you just become a Buddhist nun and spend the rest of your life with a Buddhist lamp and a Buddha statue!”
Xu Ting has some acting skills; her crying was incredibly heart-wrenching.
Wang Shen was heartbroken and immediately offered to help Xu Ting get justice.
Xu Ting: "My cousin always pretends to be delirious from a fever, but she's actually quite shrewd. Knowing she can't get married, she came up with this plan to marry you. Luckily, I found out in time."
"Pah!"
Wang Shen cursed, "That ugly hag makes me sick just looking at her! Ting'er, think of a way to lure her out, and I'll have someone teach her a lesson!"
"good."
The two lingered for a while before Xu Ting left.
Wang Shen also left, but he turned right after leaving the house and headed to a brothel.
Chu Xinxin looked at the sun. It was only three quarters past noon. Was Wang Shen really that fierce?
uncertain.
Let's go take a look.
