Xia Yixin gasped. Chu Mubai's words instantly ripped off the mask of the original Mary Sue NP novel, revealing its dirty and selfish interior.
If you think about it carefully, which man, especially men in ancient times, could tolerate sharing a woman with other men?
At this moment, there was a commotion in the teahouse next door. Xia Yixin saw from afar that a man in brocade robes was going downstairs and getting into a sedan chair. Judging from his back, the Ninth Prince was indeed as described in the original novel, exuding the air of a mature man. Suddenly, she thought of something.
"If I remember correctly, the Ninth Prince is almost forty years old this year, and Zi Linglong is only fifteen. My goodness, how could he bring himself to kiss such a young girl?"
"Pfft, cough cough!" Chu Mubai choked on his tea at her sudden inspiration, coughed a few times, and said helplessly, "It's normal in Nanyu. When the late emperor was ninety, he took two thirteen-year-old concubines. You are twenty this year. If you were an ordinary woman, you would have been a mother of two children long ago."
Xia Yixin sighed.
In this wicked ancient society, 20 years old is still the prime of youth in modern times, and 13 years old is just a child starting junior high school.
Chu Mubai's eyes were full of doting affection. "However, the earlier the better is not necessarily the best. Didn't I wait for you, my wife?"
Xia Yixin blushed again at his words, muttering to herself, "Wasn't this guy supposed to be very serious in the original story? How come he's spouting all sorts of lewd nonsense now?"
Just then, the owner, who had received orders from his true master, arrived late and brought over some of the new dim sum from Tianfu Restaurant.
Eating the pastries that blended modern and ancient elements, Xia Yixin wasn't as excited as she was the first time she ate them. She casually gazed at the bustling crowd downstairs, lost in thought.
The system in his mind was urging, "Host, don't you sympathize with the Mary Sue heroine? Do you really not want to take that 2000-point mission that requires her to have a one-on-one duel?"
She ignored it, glancing at the man who looked like a painting even while drinking tea. She was somewhat glad that she had transmigrated into this body. Judging from Chu Mubai's words, he didn't seem to care about the female lead as much as in the original story. Perhaps she didn't need to do anything. Letting him continue as regent would be fine too? Anyway, all she needed to do was max out his happiness level and help the original owner avenge her.
Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.
It turned out to be Chu Tan.
