When the sky suddenly brightened, Jiang Yi was shivering with cold.
There is nothing more painful than freezing to death.
She said to the system: "Can't you let me die in a different way?"
The system said in surprise: "Don't you think dying like this is very beautiful and meaningful?"
"I specially arranged this."
Jiang Yi said: "If you like, you can go and try it."
The system defended itself: "Under normal circumstances, after the male protagonist of this small world dies, you can freely choose the time and method of death."
"But this male protagonist is younger than you and has a lot of energy. As a result, a mission took too long. I couldn't wait any longer, so I forced you to die."
"Don't worry! It won't happen again next time!"
"I won't let you freeze to death again!"
Jiang Yi wasn't satisfied with this explanation, so the system, to prove itself, said, "Next time, I'll assign you an older person so you don't have to worry about this."
Jiang Yi: "Then I'd rather freeze to death!"
The system chuckled awkwardly, then cleared its throat and said, "Congratulations, host! You have successfully cleared the sixth world, achieved your mission goal, and given birth to an heir for the extinct emperor. You are rewarded with 17 million in cash and 5,000 points."
"The host completed this mission well, but there is still room for improvement. I hope the host can give birth to more in the next world, and soon exceed twenty!"
Jiang Yi thought about it and felt that seventeen and twenty were not much different.
So she said, "It's no big deal."
The system said: "The host is very motivated, keep going!"
"As before, I will introduce the basic situation of the next world to the host."
After the system finished speaking, Jiang Yi's gaze turned to the big screen.
The heroine of the next world is a noble lady, and her father is the Marquis of Wu'an, who was granted the title for his military merits.
But before being named Marquis of Wu'an, the heroine's father was a poor little guy.
The heroine's father lost his mother when he was young. He remarried and soon had a pair of children.
If there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather.
The heroine's father was sent out to work at a young age.
At that time, Marquis Wu'an was only seven years old. A seven-year-old child had to get up before dawn every day to work outside, and all the money he earned from work was taken away by his stepmother.
Sometimes if he failed to meet his stepmother's requirements, he would be beaten and made to stand in the corner as punishment.
The young Marquis Wu'an's memories are always filled with scenes of trepidation.
One winter, he lost the money he earned from working, and Marquis Wu'an was so scared that he didn't dare to go back.
Because it was too cold, he hid in the cowshed of his neighbor next door.
He was too young at that time and was afraid of being beaten, so he didn't know how to resist.
The elders used filial piety to pressure him. According to his father's words, he gave life to Marquis Wu'an, so Marquis Wu'an had to support him.
Not only did she have to support him, but she also had to help him support his new wife and young son.
Growing up in such a harsh environment, the only ray of light that Wu Anhou encountered was the heroine's mother Xie Yulan.
Xie Yulan was a female doctor. At that time, Wu'an Hou was injured while working and was seen by Xie Yulan. She bandaged his wound without asking for any money.
Later, Xie Yulan was nearly raped in an alley, and it was Marquis Wu'an who saved her.
After a few interactions, the two became familiar with each other.
Xie Yulan's background is similar to that of Wu'an Hou. Wu'an Hou has a stepmother, while Xie Yulan has a stepfather.
Although Xie Yulan's family conditions were much better, she was often ostracized and despised by her younger sisters at home.
Their similar backgrounds quickly made them feel like they had found a soulmate.
Xie Yulan fell in love with Wu'an Hou and was determined to marry him no matter what.
All the income from Wu'an Hou's work was given to his stepmother, but when it was his turn to get married, his stepmother was too stingy to give him a penny.
When he was short of money, Marquis Wu'an felt that he was not worthy of Xie Yulan.
But Xie Yulan didn't care about all this, she just wanted to marry him.
He was extremely ashamed and vowed to make sure Xie Yulan lived a good life in the future.
After the two got married, Wu Anhou for the first time did not give the money he earned from work to his stepmother.
A month later, the stepmother made a big fuss, saying that Wu'an Hou was so disobedient because he listened to Xie Yulan's instigation, and asked Wu'an Hou to divorce Xie Yulan.
Wu'an Hou naturally refused, so his stepmother threatened to commit suicide.
Marquis Wu'an turned his gaze to his father, begging him to speak a fair word.
It was fine when he was alone before, but now he is married. Xie Yulan doesn't want anything in return for marrying him. He can't let her suffer with him.
However, his father only sided with his stepmother, crying that Marquis Wu'an had forgotten his father after getting married.
Marquis Wu'an was completely disappointed.
His stepmother then said, "You don't have to pay me, then we'll split up the family. You can go out and live alone. You can't take anything with you. Just the two of you."
The meaning of "going out to live alone" is that Wu'an Hou and Xie Yulan will be kicked out of the house. After they go out, they will have no place to live, no food to eat, and they may even starve to death.
The stepmother was certain that Marquis Wu'an would not dare to do so, but she did not know that Marquis Wu'an was slightly moved.
He was fed up with this kind of life where he had to look at other people's faces. He could look at other people's faces, but he didn't want Xie Yulan to look at other people's faces with him.
He swore to let Xie Yulan live a good life.
Then Wu Anhou said: "Okay, let's split up the family."
His stepmother was surprised and said, "Do you understand? You can't take anything with you. You can't live here. You can't take even a single blanket or piece of clothing from this house."
"Have you thought it through?"
Wu Anhou said: "I have made up my mind."
His stepmother acted as if she had heard some ridiculous joke. "You really don't know your place. If you die outside, I won't collect your bodies."
She was unwilling to lose such a hard worker as Wu An Hou, so she rolled her eyes and said, "You want to walk out of this door so easily? No!"
"Your father gave birth to you, and I raised you. You must repay our kindness completely before you can leave this family."
"Well, you have to accept your father's blow and repay his kindness by cutting off your flesh. Only then can you step out of this threshold today."
His father then took a machete and chopped off the Marquis of Wu'an's head."
Marquis Wu'an didn't move.
The knife penetrated three inches into Marquis Wu'an's scalp, and blood immediately gushed out, but he didn't even frown.
Xie Yulan cried and threw herself on Wu'an Hou's body, but Wu'an Hou just touched Xie Yulan's head with his rough big hand.
He said, "Let's go."
On the first day after the two of them left the Jiang family, Xie Yulan bandaged Wu'an Hou's wound, and Wu'an Hou placed Xie Yulan in the small house where he used to work.
He said to her, "Just wait for me obediently."
He went to the arena and risked his life to make money.
It was also there that Marquis Wu'an won the favor of the late emperor, who was still a prince at the time.
Since then, Marquis Wu'an went to the battlefield. Decades passed in a flash. After several life-and-death experiences, he finally earned back the status of Marquis' wife for Xie Yulan.
Jiang Yi was born at that time.
