After the group of maids and servants left, Song Shian asked Yunsheng to pick up Gu Xiaoqiao and walked forward again.
There was no way he didn't know about such a big thing happening in the mansion tonight.
So even though he was not feeling well, he forced himself to come over and take a look, but he did not go closer. Instead, he stood not far away and watched for a long time.
"Sir, why is Miss Lu so pessimistic? Even if you are not in good health, you will have enough food and clothing if you marry into our family. Why is she still..."
At this point, he sighed and continued to mutter, "Forget it, it's just a matter of fate. I just hope you don't get the reputation of being a wife-killer..."
After hearing Yunsheng's words, Song Shian smiled bitterly.
"Your worries may soon become a reality."
"Ah?" Yunsheng looked up in surprise, "Prince, you mean..."
Song Shian lowered his head slightly and looked not far away.
"Ahem... Miss Lu died in a fire right after marrying a sickly boy like me. I'm afraid the news has spread all over Kyoto by now. Which noble lady would dare to marry her daughter here again?"
"......"
Yunsheng was stunned and it took him a while to react, his face turning pale.
"But this is not your fault, Prince..."
"But in the end, it was because of me..."
Song Shian shook his head gently, his expression so indifferent that it was heartbreaking.
Yunsheng bit his lip, not knowing how to answer.
"Yunsheng, let's bury Miss Lu properly."
After all, she was the legitimate daughter of the Lu family, but no one came to take care of her even after the news had been sent out for so long. It seemed that she did not live a good life when she was alive.
After Song Shian said this, he coughed twice and Yunsheng hurried over to support him.
"Prince, please stop talking. You are not fully recovered yet. Go and rest first. Leave this to me."
Song Shian nodded, gave Yunsheng a few more instructions, and then turned and left.
After taking two steps, he stopped again and turned around to look at Gu Xiaoqiao in Yunsheng's arms.
"Will you come with me?"
Yunsheng: “Ah?”
Gu Xiaoqiao: “Meow~”
After meowing, it jumped out of Yunsheng's arms and ran to Song Shian's legs and rubbed against them.
When Song Shian saw a black mark on his clothes, he frowned subconsciously.
This little thing is really... ridiculously dirty.
But he still squatted down and put his hand on her head and touched it.
"In that case, I'll take you away!"
Gu Xiaoqiao meowed.
Song Shian held it in his arms, stood up and walked towards his yard.
…
After returning, Gu Xiaoqiao was taken to take a bath. After the bath, she let the maid wipe her hair, and then made a nest for her in Song Shian's study.
Not only that, she was placed closer to the charcoal fire.
After a whole night of tossing and turning, Gu Xiaoqiao was exhausted and slowly closed his eyes in the warmth.
I fell asleep soon after.
This was a very deep and comfortable sleep...
What she didn't know was that while she was sleeping soundly, Song Shian had been observing her, his eyes as deep as the sea.
......
The next morning, Gu Xiaoqiao opened her eyes drowsily, and what came into her sight was a strange yet comfortable room.
She lay in her nest and stretched comfortably.
You know what, life as a cat master is really comfortable.
[Host, you finally woke up! ]
In my mind, San San's resentful voice came.
When he heard San San's voice, Gu Xiaoqiao suddenly woke up.
[You damn system, you're finally online. Do you know that I was almost beaten to death last night...]
Gu Xiaoqiao cursed for a long time before she stopped, while San San kept apologizing.
[Oh, dear host, please don't be angry. I really had something urgent to do last night, so I logged off in a hurry.]
The key point is that this is the first time it has encountered such a thing. Once the small world is opened, there is no way to stop it.
When they came here, there was a small error in calculation, which caused them to arrive twenty minutes later than the scheduled time.
But because of those twenty minutes that night, the original heroine was burned to the point where not even a single piece of her body was left intact. How could the mission be carried out?
"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense. Just tell me what's going on. How did you turn me into a cat?"
Gu Xiaoqiao interrupted it, and San San reported to her honestly.
"Host, I originally planned a revenge storyline for you, but we arrived too late. The original owner had already been burned to death. And according to the rules of the small world, once we enter this world, we can't leave without completing our mission, so..."
Gu Xiaoqiao's face was full of black lines.
"So, you just put me on a cat? No, there are so many people here, people! Why did you insist on me being a cat?"
Having said that, Gu Xiaoqiao recalled what San San had just said, and something seemed to be wrong.
[Wait, what did you just say? The original heroine of the world was burned to death?]
San San hummed in frustration, "Yes, he was burned to death. No part of his body is usable anymore."
The scene he saw last night suddenly emerged in Gu Xiaoqiao's mind: a female corpse that was burned beyond recognition and pitch black, and the voices of people around him cursing and saying bad luck.
"Are you saying that the female corpse we saw last night was the new identity you assigned to me?"
[Yeah, yeah! What a shame we're late...]
[The original owner was a legitimate daughter of the Lu family in Kyoto, but because her mother died early and she was not valued by her father, she had no status in the family and was often bullied in the mansion.
