Chapter 48
It is naturally impossible to hang a person at the city gate for three days and three nights.
This was the bait that Chu Qiu deliberately put out to lure Jiang Shi into the trap.
Even if Jiang ultimately fails to lose weight, would she dare to run to Chu Huan and say that she heard the conversation between Chu Huan and the system?
With the threat of being hanged for three days and three nights, Yu Jiayan must monitor Jiang's scientific weight loss at all times.
You get a diligent and responsible free supervisor.
The system has to say: treacherous!
Even the time and what to say were all told to it by Chu Huan in the private chat channel.
They even take advantage of the system. This generation of hosts is so bad!
The system hummed unhappily, but then it thought that Chu Huan was not doing this for itself, so it couldn't get angry.
It once heard the main system say that after other hosts bound to the melon-eating system, they would just eat melons and please themselves.
Its host also likes to eat melons, but has also used it to accomplish many things, such as investigating corruption, killing corrupt officials, saving honest officials, and a series of other good things.
The system thinks this is probably what humans call a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction?
When Chu Huan's life ends, it can go back and brag to other melon-eating systems, showing off that it was once bound to such an excellent host.
This bait is indeed very tempting.
Jiang immediately became motivated to lose weight and his attitude was very positive, so positive that Yu Jiayan was horrified.
"Master Chu, may I ask what this scientific weight loss method is?"
Chu Hua: "It mainly involves three aspects: a regular work and rest schedule, a healthy diet, and adequate exercise."
Before explaining in detail how to do it, she wanted to get the basics: "How did you lose weight before?"
Jiang: "No, or eat less."
Chu Huan: “…” You’re amazing that you didn’t get a stomachache from hunger.
The system was stunned, then dove into the melon field and rummaged for a while: [Oh my god, she actually managed to stick with just two meals a day, vegetables and radishes for half a month, only giving up after her face turned green.]
[This is too much effort to lose weight. ]
Chu Hua: [You're working too hard.]
Jiang's eyes dimmed. No matter how hard she tried, wouldn't she still be unable to lose weight?
In the previous dynasty, fair skin and thinness were considered beautiful, and people liked women who spoke softly and tenderly. However, among the people, there were often women who were so hungry that their faces were pale and their bodies were thin, and their voices were weak.
Perhaps because he had suffered too much such torture, the founding emperor of the Great Sheng Dynasty liked plump women who spoke with full energy and looked very healthy.
After two such extreme aesthetics, the preferences of the second and third emperors of the Great Sheng Dynasty gradually shifted to a balance between the two. Until now, people like women who are plump but not too fat.
——The Queen and the Second Prince’s wife are both of this type.
Jiang is a little over 1.5 meters tall and weighs about 150 kilograms, which is considered quite fat.
Jiang's body proportions do not conform to the public's aesthetic standards. If she personally accepted it, it would be fine, but unfortunately she was not happy about it and cared about it.
Chu Huan began to ask about details, such as Jiang's daily routine, diet, and exercise habits.
When this question was asked, Jiang's two personal maids were also present.
Sometimes I am not aware of the problem, but others can see it more clearly and fill in some details.
Jiang: "I'll read a storybook when I have nothing to do. If I come across a storyline that I can't stop reading, I'll read it later, but not too late."
Maid: "The latest one is at Chou hour."
Chu Huan: “…” If it was any later she would have to get up and go to court.
You can really endure this night.
Jiang: "I prefer to eat meat, braised pork, pork elbow with rock sugar, and dim sum."
Maid: "Madam knows that eating often is not good, so she will eat every few days, three times a day. Two plates of snacks and one bowl of dessert every day."
Chu Huan: “…”
Jiang: "I used to go out with my friends to run horses and play polo, but later on we rarely went out."
Maid: "After the Madam gained weight, she would get tired and sweaty after just a little movement. She doesn't like to move much."
Chu Huan: “…”
To sum up, there are several reasons why Jiang has become so fat: he often stays up late, is addicted to meat and greasy food, loves sweets, and does not exercise.
Several factors that make it easy to gain weight are all present.
Looking more closely, there were traces of makeup on Jiang's face, and there were a few red and swollen pimples on her chin that were not covered by makeup.
Apart from not having a cell phone or internet, Jiang is exactly like a modern stay-at-home girl.
The system was shocked: [If I don't gain weight after this, is there still justice? ]
Chu Huan: […I didn’t expect that either.]
Jiang's face froze slightly. Although she had long given up hope, she was still disappointed to know that there was no hope of losing weight.
"Master Chu, if that doesn't work..."
Chu Huan quickly interrupted her: "As long as you listen to me, there's nothing I can't do."
Jiang gritted her teeth and said, "Okay." The bet has been made, you can't go back on your word at the last minute, right?
In the following time, Chu Huan took Jiang's personal preferences into consideration and made a detailed plan for her.
It wouldn't be so miserable for Jiang to just eat vegetables and radishes every day without any meat, but it also wouldn't allow her to eat whatever she wanted without any restrictions.
As for Jiang's favorite dim sum and desserts, there is no need to think about it. At most, they will exist as periodic prizes.
The moment the specific weight loss plan came out, Jiang's entire body turned gray.
How could there be a way to lose weight in the world that has fixed times for getting up, eating, how much to eat at each meal, how to exercise, and how much to exercise?
Such regular and standardized actions, perhaps even an army that obeys orders is no more than this?
Chu Hua: "Losing weight requires a lot of self-control and willpower. Just watch your mouth and move your legs. There's no fat you can't lose."
Jiang looked at the prohibited foods on the list, and tears of sadness quickly welled up in her eyes.
Ever since she tried the diet of eating vegetables and radishes every day, she has become more obsessed with her favorite foods and has become somewhat self-indulgent.
I'm already so fat, so what if I get a little fatter?
I can’t lose weight anyway, so what’s wrong with eating a little more?
The result of self-indulgence is that our meals and daily routines are now like being in prison.
Jiang regretted so much that tears almost fell from her eyes.
Chu Huan noticed Jiang's hesitation and regret, and was worried that Jiang would change his mind halfway.
[Tong'er, is this plan too harsh? ]
The system tells the truth: [Indeed, there is a little bit.]
It wasn't just a little bit. Jiang shed tears for many moments!
Chu Hua: [Then I need to think of a reward.]
The system responded: [What?]
Chu Hua: [The reward should be based on her favorite things.]
She pointed to the empty space in the phased plan and said, "Madam, every time you complete a phased goal, you can come to me and redeem a snack or dessert."
"They are not only available at Dasheng, but are definitely snacks and desserts you have never tasted before. Once you have tasted them, you will never forget them."
Over the years, Jiang has tried all the snacks and desserts from Dasheng, both famous and unknown, and he doubts the authenticity of this statement.
Chu Huan wouldn't lie to her, right?
The system has seen through the host's sinister intentions and still cooperates with her actions.
If you give out those snacks and desserts as prizes, won't you be able to run a profitable business?
Chu Hua: [How can making money be more important than her?]
Jiang:!!!
Someone actually put her before silver!
Jiang didn't know how to describe the feeling in her heart. Her chest felt swollen and sore, and something quickly filled her eyes.
"Master Chu, I will definitely follow your plan and there will be no mistakes!"
At this moment, Jiang felt that she could not let Chu Huan down, and she must lose weight!
"Then it's settled." Chu Huan smiled and stood up. "I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."
Jiang didn't try to persuade her to stay, but personally sent Chu Huan to the door.
After watching Chu Huan get on the carriage and leave, she returned to the main hall and handed the plan to the maid.
"Make a copy and send it to the kitchen. Starting tomorrow, strictly follow the recipe set by Master Chu."
Maid: "Yes."
Yu Jiayan handed over the bag of cold sugar-roasted chestnuts. "Madam, do you want more?"
Jiang looked at her beloved sugar-roasted chestnuts, and thought of Chu Huan who had come specially to help her today, and turned her head away with difficulty.
"No more."
Yu Jiayan felt extremely panicked. His wife no longer ate snacks and desserts from outside, and he had lost his job of running errands for her. How could he please her in the future?
At this moment, Jiang thought of something and gave Yu Jiayan a gentle smile.
Yu Jiayan thought that his recent flattery efforts had worked, and the lady had finally forgiven him and would no longer withhold his monthly salary, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.
Unexpectedly, Jiang said: "We are husband and wife, we should share the joys and sorrows."
"Starting tomorrow, we'll use the same diet. Whatever I eat, you eat too."
Yu Jiayan's smile suddenly froze on his face.
At the same time, the system was asking Chu Huan: [Sister Huan, I thought you were going to ask why Jiang Shi didn't divorce Yu Jiayan.]
Chu Hua: [What's so good about asking?]
System: [Aren't you curious?]
Chu Hua: [Jiang Shi isn't one to repay kindness with grievance. She has her reasons for staying in the Yu family if she doesn't want a divorce.]
When we met Yu Jiayan at the door, he was rushing back from outside, holding a bag of hot sugar-roasted chestnuts, and he was in a hurry.
Who do you think it was bought for?
The system finally reacted: [Jiang loves sweets, Yu Jiayan bought her some sugar-roasted chestnuts.]
Chu Hua: [The Yu family has servants, but Yu Jiayan still has to run errands. Why do you think that is?]
The system responded quickly: [Jiang did it on purpose!]
In order to verify its guess, it went to eat some melon and came back happily.
[Sure enough! The Minister of Justice knew that Yu Jiayan had been deceiving his daughter and visiting prostitutes for a long time. He told his wife about this and asked her to ask his daughter what her plans were and whether she wanted to divorce him.]
Jiang's response at the time was: "Why divorce? He's hurt me for so many years. How can I be worthy of his 'dedicated care' if I don't give him some more trouble?"
Jiang has turned evil! She's been married to the Yu family for years, using her dowry and the profits from her shop to support everyone in the family. Now that she's awakened, the monthly salary has stopped, the subsidies have disappeared, and the family has no other income. They have to rely on her to make ends meet.
Yu Jiayan, with her purse in her clutches, dared not complain. During the day, she ran errands, fanned Jiang, and read storybooks. At night, she had to wash her feet, keep mosquitoes away, and sleep on her footstool.
Chu Huan exclaimed: [Sister has awakened! ]
From being a fifth-rank official, the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple, a highly respected fifth-rank official, he was transformed into a comprehensive servant who had to run errands, wash feet, and serve personally. This move humiliated Yu Jiayan to the ground.
The system was a bit worried: [Is this kind of humiliation okay? What if Yu Jiayan is pushed to her limit and stabs Jiang while she's asleep? Or maybe poisons her food? Wouldn't that be the end of it?]
Chu Huan said, "He doesn't dare."
System: [How did you know that?]
Chu Hua: [If he had the guts, he would have bribed the midwife and taken advantage of Jiang's labor to save the baby, rather than showering her with supplements, hoping she would die from the child's size.]
Jiang's father is the Minister of Justice, and Yu Jiayan is just a commoner. Can he guarantee that his actions will not leave any traces? Even if there is no evidence, can he guarantee that the Minister of Justice will not vent his anger on him?
[Don't even mention hurting Jiang. Yu Jiayan's biggest wish now is for Jiang to live a long life. If he loses Jiang, he'll lose everything he has and live an even more miserable life than he already has.]
The system exclaimed: [I learned it! ]
Because the two of them did not have a private conversation, Jia Yi and Cai Gang, who were driving the carriage, heard everything and also noticed a person following the carriage.
Even if the others heard the conversation between Chu Huan and the system, they would still stay away from them because they saw the Embroidered Spring Knives in Jia Yi and Cai Gang's hands and were afraid of their identities as Jinyiwei.
The man followed quickly for a distance and obviously heard a lot of what was said.
Cai Gang's carriage was not going very fast, so Jia Yi jumped out of the carriage and stopped the man: "Stop right there!"
The man saw the embroidered spring knife in Jia Yi's hand and looked afraid, but he refused to leave because he was thinking of something.
He bowed deeply and said, "Your Excellency, would you allow me to have a few words with the distinguished guest in the carriage?"
Jia Yi was ordered to protect Chu Huan, but was worried that the man had ulterior motives, so he did not drive him away.
"What is it?"
The man thought for a moment, but saw that the carriage was going farther and farther away with no intention of stopping.
He didn't dare delay any longer and said hurriedly, "Just now, when I passed by the carriage, I heard the nobleman mention 'died in childbirth because the child was too big'. I couldn't help but think of my wife who died in childbirth."
"Sir, would you allow me to have a few words with you?" The man looked at the departing carriage with an anxious look on his face.
If it was something else, Jia Yi could still make the decision, but the man caught up with her because he heard the conversation between Chu Huan and the system. If he really brought it up, he would be completely exposed.
"Go to the Pacification Office and tell them you have something to ask Lord Chu, and someone will help you." After saying that, he went to chase the carriage.
The man hesitated again and again. He wanted to know the truth so badly that he mustered up the courage to go to the feared Pacification Office.
He informed the Jinyiwei guarding the gate of the Zhenfu Division as Jia Yi had said, and was then invited into the Zhenfu Division.
Because this matter involved Chu Huan, Commander Lin You accompanied the emperor in the palace, and Deputy Commander Pei Mingcheng rushed over.
He was accompanied by his servant brother who was tortured and killed by Lu Zhengye.
The younger brother's surname is Song, and his parents call him Goudan. He didn't want the name given by Lu Zhengye, so Pei Mingcheng gave him a new name: Song Zhi.
After listening to the man's story, Pei Mingcheng asked, "It's common for women to have difficult childbirths. Why would you chase after someone just because you heard someone mention it on the street?"
Suspicion is an essential characteristic of the Jinyiwei. Pei Mingcheng doesn't think this is a simple encounter. Maybe he wants to use this to harm Chu Huan?
Song Zhichu had just started working with the Embroidered Uniform Guard, but he already knew who had helped him bring down the Lu family so quickly, and he was very concerned about the affairs of his benefactor, Chu Huan.
He was afraid of something bad happening, so he didn't dare to speak rashly. He just secretly memorized Pei Mingcheng's expression, tone, and questions in his mind, and quickly learned the qualities that an excellent Jinyiwei should possess.
The man said with a bitter face: "Because this is my third wife who died in childbirth."
Pei Mingcheng was dumbfounded. "You're unlucky with your wife?" And one unlucky with three? So fierce?
Song Zhi lowered his eyes silently. Lord Pei didn't seem as smart as he looked. Did he need to find someone else to learn from?
