Chapter 12 The number one scholar’s father is a charlatan who always wins in gambling!
Si Yuan looked at the thick and long progress bar projected in front of him by the system. There was a hint of green at the beginning of the empty blank progress bar.
Si Yuan looked at the green spot at the top of the progress bar and was surprised: [Could this green spot be the moving progress you mentioned? 】
The system is very happy: [Do you know that everything is difficult at the beginning? It has been several years and there has been no progress. Today I finally see some hope. 】
Si Yuan asked: [Then do you know why the progress bar moved? Is it because I scolded Li Jingyuan today? 】After all, he had traveled to this world for several years, and only today did he meet Li Jingyuan, the father of the original male protagonist. Before, Li Jingyuan was either studying at home or was sent to serve as an official after entering the officialdom, and he had no intersection with Si Yuan.
The system is clueless: [I don’t know the reason, maybe it’s because you scolded the hero’s father, so you overshadowed him. After all, the task of competing for dad is all about dad. Your cannon fodder dad is more glorious than the hero's dad. You have won temporarily, so the progress bar moves. 】
Si Yuan listened to the system's words, raised his eyebrows slightly, and did not comment.
The system said excitedly: [Once the progress bar starts moving, you can unlock all the plots. 】
Si Yuan was stunned: [The whole plot? The plot you gave me before wasn’t the whole plot? 】
He recalled the original plot that the system had transmitted to him before, and felt that the plot was very complete. The plot related to the original owner's family was very detailed, and the plot related to the male protagonist's father and son and the third prince was not missed. Could there be something that he had not noticed before?
At this time, the system explained: [Because there was no movement in the previous task progress bar, you can only unlock the plot related to your identity. The original complete plot of this world is a novel plot based on the heroine's perspective. The complete plot is of course on the heroine's side. 】
Si Yuan: [? 】
System: [I’ll send you the complete storyline. 】
[Tan Zhuyue was reborn one day. She never expected that she would have the chance to start over again after being tortured to death by her scumbag husband.
This time, she would never listen to her vicious stepmother again, mistakenly thinking that the scumbag was a good match, and marrying him even at the cost of private dealings, only to end up with a miserable end of miscarriage, illness, and torture to death.
She wants to get her engagement back. She wants to marry her cousin who will become a close confidant of the new emperor in the future. She will never let that woman Tan Qingyue take her husband away from her again!
She wants to take back everything that belongs to her! >>>Click to expand and read the full text<<<】
Si Yuan had a face full of question marks: [? ? ? 】
[Is this Tan Zhuyue the heroine?] 】
System: [Yes. Tan Qingyue is the vicious female supporting role, and the two are half-sisters. 】
Si Yuan's tone was a little strange: [Then the cousin that Tan Zhuyue is going to marry could be the male protagonist Li Changwen? 】After all, both Tan Zhuyue and Li Changwen’s mothers have the surname Tan.
System: [Tan Zhuyue is the heroine, so the person she is going to marry is of course the hero. 】
Si Yuan: [……]
The system actively gave Si Yuan advice: [In fact, you can work hard and make progress, and snatch the heroine in advance. As long as Li Changqing marries the heroine, he will be able to suppress the hero. If you, the cannon fodder father, can help the cannon fodder marry the heroine, it is equivalent to suppressing the hero's father. The progress bar will definitely soar. 】
Si Yuan: [I don’t want it!] What bad idea did you come up with? At first glance, the heroine Tan Zhuyue is a fool. Rebirth cannot change her brain. Even if she is the heroine, I don’t want such a daughter-in-law. She will lower the IQ of my future grandson. 】
Si Yuan had already started clicking to expand and read the full text. In just a short while, he finished reading the story before the heroine Tan Zhuyue's rebirth, and then he became more convinced that Tan Zhuyue was a fool.
In the original plot, Tan Zhuyue was the eldest daughter born to Tan's father's first wife. Her mother died of illness, so Tan's father remarried and took over as his second wife, Wang, who gave birth to a daughter, Tan Qingyue, and a son, Tan Yun. Under such circumstances, Tan's father naturally favored his second wife and her two children, but he did not ignore his original wife's daughter, Tan Zhuyue.
Tan's father's sister was Li Jingyuan's wife, Ms. Tan. Ms. Tan wanted her son to marry her niece to strengthen the relationship, so she made a verbal engagement with Tan's father.
This marriage contract was naturally between the legitimate daughter of the Tan family and the legitimate son of Li Jingyuan. At this time, the person that Tan's father thought of was the eldest daughter, Tan Zhuyue.
After all, Li Changwen is the eldest son of Li Jingyuan and Tan, and the eldest son should marry the eldest daughter. Moreover, Tan's father loves the eldest daughter, Tan Zhuyue, very much. Of course, he wants to give this good marriage to the eldest daughter who lost her mother early.
Mr. Tan thought so, but Wang refused to agree. He felt sorry for his eldest daughter who lost her mother at an early age, and she also felt sorry for her own daughter.
Although Li Jingyuan was the illegitimate son of the Jingyuan Marquis's Mansion, he had a promising future and received strong support from the Jingyuan Marquis's Mansion. Li Changwen was also a good student and had achieved the title of Juren at a young age. Of course, Wang wanted to fight for such a good marriage for her daughter.
After all, the sister-in-law Tan just wants her niece to be her daughter-in-law. Isn’t Tan Qingyue also her niece?
Wang knew that although her husband was partial to her and her two children because she gave birth to a legitimate son, he also loved Tan Zhuyue, the eldest legitimate daughter who lost her mother at an early age. It was not hopeful for Wang to snatch the marriage from Tan's father, so she planned to let Tan Zhuyue give up the marriage herself.
Wang was well aware of the competitive nature of her stepdaughter Tan Zhuyue. Whatever she gave to her daughter Tan Qingyue, Tan Zhuyue would definitely fight for it. She would have to give something better than what her sister Tan Qingyue got, or she would not stop until she had snatched Tan Qingyue's things away.
So Wang deliberately revealed to Tan Zhuyue that she had set her eyes on the eldest grandson of Duke Cheng'en and wanted her daughter to marry into the Duke Cheng'en's mansion and become a lady of high status.
The man Tan Zhuyue was engaged to was only the eldest son of a fifth-rank official, but Tan Qingyue was able to marry into a wealthy and prominent family like the Cheng'en Mansion. She was filled with jealousy and resentment, so she tried to find a way to contact the eldest grandson of the Cheng'en Mansion.
The eldest grandson of Duke Cheng'en was a romantic man. When faced with the beauty Tan Zhuyue who came to his door, he naturally accepted her. With Wang's secret help, it was easy for Tan Zhuyue to communicate with her privately.
Wang took this opportunity to get hold of her handle and secretly reported it to Tan's father.
Tan's father was furious. The Tan family would never allow a daughter to be secretly given away as a concubine. For the sake of the Tan family's reputation, Tan's father planned to send Tan Zhuyue to the farm and let her "die of illness."
However, Tan Zhuyue was very lucky because the wife of the Crown Prince of Cheng'en Mansion was pregnant and gave birth to a legitimate son.
The Crown Prince's wife had a legitimate son, so the eldest grandson of Duke Cheng'en's mansion, the illegitimate son who was raised as a legitimate son, was very annoying to her. So she took the initiative to ask for Tan Zhuyue, who had a relationship with him, to marry him, on the grounds that she did not want to ruin his reputation.
The eldest grandson of Duke Cheng'en lost his status as the legitimate son and married a wife who could not bring him any help. He could not do anything about his own biological mother, so he took his anger out on Tan Zhuyue, making Tan Zhuyue's life in Duke Cheng'en's Mansion quite difficult and eventually she died in the infighting at the harem.
Since Tan Zhuyue had an affair with someone secretly, it was impossible for Tan's father to marry her to his sister's son. So he discussed with Tan to change the candidate to Tan Qingyue.
Of course, Mrs. Tan had no objection. After all, Tan Qingyue had a younger brother who was born to the same mother. If her son Li Changwen married Tan Qingyue, he would have closer ties with the Tan family in the future.
So this marriage finally became Wang's daughter's as she wished. Later, Li Changwen rose to prominence, and her daughter Tan Qingyue also became rich and powerful along with her husband.
Before her death, Tan Zhuyue learned that Li Changwen was a close minister to the new emperor. Her scumbag husband even blamed her for not having a close relationship with Tan Qingyue, which prevented him from having the advantage of being his brother-in-law.
Therefore, after Tan Zhuyue was reborn, the first thing she did was to keep her engagement and snatch Li Changwen back from Tan Qingyue.
When she was reborn, she was about to have an affair with the eldest grandson of Duke Cheng'en. She stopped the loss in time and wanted to catch Wang's handle to plot against her. However, she was not smart enough to beat Wang, her stepmother, and she had to suppress it temporarily and wait until she married Li Changwen. After Li Changwen became successful, she would use her husband's power to deal with Wang and her daughter...
When Si Yuan read the original plot to this point, he was amused by Tan Zhuyue's stupidity. Although there was her stepmother's calculation, she was the one who jumped into the pit dug by others. If she wasn't stupid, who would be stupid? Even after being reborn, you can't beat your stepmother, so you can only wait until you get married to use your power to suppress others. Have you ever thought about whether your stepmother's biological brother will agree if you suppress your stepmother? Does your mother-in-law, Ms. Tan, agree?
Si Yuan didn't want to watch the rest of the story. If she didn't have the halo of the protagonist, this reborn heroine would fail sooner or later.
The system also gave him bad advice, asking him to snatch the heroine to be his daughter-in-law, but he didn't want to pay any attention to the system.
Si Yuan was tired of chatting with Li's mother, so he found an excuse to leave: "Chang Qing is playing wild, I'm going to bring him back." He glanced at Li Jingyuan and his wife who were still sitting still, and said casually, "By the way, bring Chang Wen back as well."
Hearing Si Yuan's words of "meddling in other people's business", Li Jingyuan could no longer sit still. He only had Li Changwen as his only child, so he immediately stood up and said, "Third brother, I'll go with you."
Si Yuan nodded indifferently, and then the two of them went out together to look for the child, leaving his wife here to continue accompanying Li's mother.
Si Yuan knew where Xiao Changqing was as soon as he took a look with his spiritual sense. The child didn't go far. He was playing with Li Changwen in a small garden nearby.
When Si Yuan and Li Jingyuan came over, Xiao Changqing was telling Li Changwen a story, which was the same bedtime story that Si Yuan had once told Xiao Changqing.
Si Yuan and Li Jingyuan stood behind the tree and watched the two children listen quietly without rushing to show up.
Then Si Yuan heard Li Changwen's childish voice full of envy saying: "Brother Changqing, your father is so good to you. He tells you bedtime stories every day. I can only see my father once every few days. When he sees me, he always only asks me how I am doing in school. He never tells me stories or lets me read miscellaneous books."
Little Changqing boasted, "My father is very kind to me. He even built me an amusement park with swings, slides, and seesaws... You can come to my house and play!"
The system's excited voice sounded again: [The progress bar is moving again! 】
A long progress bar appeared in front of Si Yuan, and the green dot at the beginning became a little bigger.
Si Yuan looked thoughtful: "I see."
