The system immediately replied: "[This isn't his real voice. He's using a fake voice to try and fool you; he doesn't want to reveal his identity!]"
After the system finished speaking, the man in front of him became even more flustered.
Xu Wanying raised her hand and grabbed his hand tightly, scratching the back of his hand hard with her nails.
[System, why does he pinch you harder when you speak? Can he hear you?]
The system immediately retorted: "Host, you can't wrongly accuse me. My core program is meticulously designed; no one but the host could possibly hear it."
[Host, it looks like you're going to die here, but don't worry, Jiang Chengyi won't have a good ending either. He's currently involved with a peasant girl, and this peasant girl has an irresistible charm that has him completely captivated. He even brought her back to Wangjing and is keeping her on Wutong Street. Later, he'll bring this peasant girl back to the Marquis's mansion, and then one by one, the men of the Loyal Marquis's mansion will fall in love with her, leading to brothers turning against each other and fathers and sons killing each other.]
The system sighed softly, seemingly lamenting the tragic fate of its host, but Xu Wanying detected a hint of schadenfreude in its voice.
Before Xu Wanying could react, the hand that was gripping her neck suddenly loosened its grip.
She was slightly taken aback and subconsciously took two steps back to avoid his attack range.
"If you miss, then run." The man spoke again, but this time his voice was much more pleasant, no longer like a quack.
Thank goodness, they finally used the original audio; that quacking of the male duck was unbearable.
The system corrected: "[This isn't his original voice either; it's just a slightly better-sounding falsetto. He's a former member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and also served as a secret guard. Assassination, espionage, voice changing, and disguise are his forte.]"
"Hey, what happened? Wasn't he just trying to kill you? Why did he stop halfway through?"
Xu Wanying was extremely dissatisfied: [System, what do you mean? Do you wish I were dead?]
"Brave man, let's talk this over. Why are you grabbing a weak woman like me?" Xu Wanying coughed lightly.
Since he was covering his face, she pretended not to recognize him.
"Who are you?" the man asked in a cold voice.
“Me? I am the third wife of the Marquis of Zhongyi’s mansion.”
At the same time, she couldn't help but grumble to herself: "Tsk, why did you have to pick on me out of everyone else on the street? You almost strangled me to death, and then you asked me who I was? What are you pretending to be so important about!"
[Host, Jiang Chengli is currently suffering from amnesia.]
Xu Wanying was shocked: [Huh? Why are you arresting me if I have amnesia? Do you think I'm easy to bully?]
The system couldn't resist adding fuel to the fire: "[He probably just doesn't like you. After all, you used all sorts of tricks and schemes to marry him.]"
Xu Wanying immediately spat at it.
As Jiang Chengli listened to the woman's voice cursing the so-called system, his brows furrowed so deeply that he felt like he was suffocating a fly.
He's been in a very bad state lately and doesn't dare go back to the Marquis's mansion to face his family, also fearing he might bring disaster back with him. Therefore, he can only rent a house in Wangjing to live in.
I was out for a stroll today when I saw my sister-in-law. My first instinct was to chase after her and ask if she was alright at the Marquis's residence.
But when the waiter stopped him, he suddenly realized he was faking amnesia and couldn't reunite with his family, so he had to leave in a hurry.
But just as he was about to leave, he heard a strange conversation.
He recognized Xu Wanying's voice, but the other strange voice was completely unfamiliar and didn't sound like it could be made by a human.
He tracked her down until he confirmed that his newlywed wife truly harbored a huge secret. Fearing that this woman would bring misfortune to his family, he immediately decided to kill her.
That's why he kidnapped her. But he never expected that the system would mention the peasant girl and point out his predicament, so he temporarily put aside his murderous intent and wanted to find out more before doing anything else.
"Come with me." Jiang Chengli led her forward.
Xu Wanying was unaware of his intentions, but she was powerless to resist and could only obediently follow behind him.
[System, what exactly is this bastard trying to do? Killing someone is just a simple matter of beheading them, why is he going to all this trouble?]
[I guess they want to find a place where you'll suffer a more painful death.]
Upon hearing this, Xu Wanying immediately began cursing the system again: [Damn it, stop forcing me to swear! You're useless at everything, but you're number one at pouring cold water on things. Just you wait, after I escape, don't even think about making me expend a single ounce of energy!]
The system, as if taking on a human form, sighed sentimentally: [Host, this system didn't want this either. This system hoped you would live to be a hundred years old, but the reality is that you are in a precarious situation.]
[Enough with the nonsense, use up my energy before I die. From what you just said, this bastard is in a bad situation?]
Xu Wanying chatted with the system for a long time, which Jiang Chengli found very tedious. The reason he led her through all the twists and turns was simply to hear more information, not to gossip here.
Just as he was about to press for answers, Xu Wanying finally brought up the main topic, and he couldn't help but straighten his back, not wanting to miss a single word.
Yes, this is bad. That farm girl, like you, is a time traveler from the modern world. But she's far more powerful than you; she's the darling of this world, with a protagonist's aura, and every man who sees her is smitten.
[The farm girl's name is Xing Xiaoya. Jiang Chengli was seriously injured during a mission and fell into the river, unconscious. Xing Xiaoya happened to be washing clothes by the river and rescued him. When Jiang Chengli woke up, he had amnesia and couldn't remember anything. He met Xing Xiaoya and was touched by her sincerity and kindness. The two gradually fell in love.]
Because Jiang Chengli possessed a jade pendant that proved he came from a prominent family in Wangjing, he took Xing Xiaoya to the capital after recovering from his injuries. There, they encountered the Jiang family, recognized each other, and Xing Xiaoya successfully moved into the Marquis of Zhongyi's residence, where she became entangled in numerous romantic relationships with the men of the Jiang family.
