The Jiang family initially thought Xu Wanying had misread it, but after hearing what the artifact said, it was clearly true.
The group looked at each other, completely bewildered, not understanding why Jiang Chengli was doing this.
"What did Chengli say when he kidnapped you?" Cen Ying continued to ask, her tone very serious.
Before Xu Wanying could speak, the system roared again: [Wait, what do you mean? Does her attitude mean she already believes you? Does that mean she believes whatever you say? Would she believe you if you said Jiang Chengli ate shit?]
[Is this still her biological mother? Jiang Chengli is clearly her biological son, isn't he? Jiang Chengli doesn't seem like the kind of person who would do such a thing. Why doesn't she believe her son's character and instead believes her daughter-in-law's side of the story?]
Xu Wanying wanted to roll her eyes at the system, but she had no time to pay attention to it. She quickly said to the Jiang family, "After he took me away, he grabbed my neck as if he was going to kill me, but then he changed his mind. There was also a woman who called him Brother Dazhuang, but when my husband heard the voice, he quickly took me away and refused to see that woman. I don't know what happened."
"After the third brother brought you back, where did he go? Where did he take you? And where did you meet that woman?" Marquis Zhongyi was also shocked and hurriedly asked.
Xu Wanying couldn't help but frown: "Father-in-law, I don't know where he went."
She thought to herself, "No way, this old man is treating me like a walking encyclopedia! He asks me everything. I'm not an omniscient being, how am I supposed to know all that?!"
Before she could finish speaking, she heard the system cough lightly: [Host, having me is like having a know-it-all; I know everything from astronomy to geography, and I'm an expert on all sorts of entertainment gossip.]
[Pah! Trying to glorify yourself. Tell me, what is that bastard Jiang Chengli doing these days?]
The system immediately seized the opportunity: [It will take a lot of energy!]
Upon hearing this, Xu Wanying's expression immediately darkened, and she promptly refused: "Forget it then, pretend I didn't say anything. Whether he lives or dies is none of my business, so don't waste your energy!"
The Jiang family members were initially hopeful when they heard that they could find out Jiang Chengli's whereabouts, eager to know where he was. However, when they heard the rest, they immediately became dejected.
The system couldn't help but sigh: "Host, you really are a heartless and ruthless woman!"
Xu Wanying immediately retorted: "System, are you alright? You're supposed to be a cold and ruthless electronic program, how did you turn into a saint? Jiang Chengli kidnapped me first, then choked me. I'm not a masochist, why should I waste energy on him?"
The system surrendered: 【Alright, alright, this system is a saint, I'll investigate for you for free this time, okay?】
Xu Wanying didn't appreciate her flattery and directly exposed her: "You're just trying to make yourself look good. I'm afraid things didn't go according to your plan when you encountered Jiang Chengli today, so you're worried and want to check on him, right?"
The system completely ignored her words.
[Jiang Chengli is currently—] The system hesitated for a moment, then began to scream in alarm: [Holy crap! Holy crap! What is he doing with that knife?! Ahhh, where are you pointing it?! He's going to castrate himself, heavens!]
[No, you can't become a eunuch! If you become a eunuch, will Xing Xiaoya have a romantic relationship with a eunuch? Ahhh, big brother, please, stop gesturing, I'm scared, waaaaah—]
The system's screams nearly shattered everyone's eardrums. Xu Wanying was stunned for a moment, then burst into wild laughter.
[Hahaha, is he going to castrate himself? Wow, that's got some personality!]
[System, check quickly! Did he get his hands on a martial arts manual called "Sunflower Manual"? To practice this skill, one must first castrate oneself! Wow, young man, I didn't realize it before. To become a master, he's willing to give up anything. I'm really impressed!]
[Host, host, stop laughing! If he becomes a eunuch, won't you be living a life of widowhood too? How can you be so happy!]
The system was almost frantic. After hearing her laugh like that, it wished it could grow two hands and shake her frantically to bring her back to her senses.
Xu Wanying scoffed, her tone dismissive: "Hey, don't say things like that. Don't think I didn't hear you. You were clearly feeling sorry for Xing Xiaoya, it has nothing to do with me. Even if he doesn't become a eunuch, there's no story between us. But if he does become a eunuch, I could be his sister! Hahaha..."
From now on, I won't call him that dog anymore; I'll call him "Sister Jiang Sanjie," hahaha...
Xu Wanying found it increasingly amusing, and she could barely contain her laughter.
Having followed the system through so much gossip, she considered herself a seasoned person who had seen all sorts of bizarre things, but she never expected to be actually shocked by this outrageous news.
All the other men were forced to become eunuchs, but Jiang Chengli voluntarily wanted to castrate himself, and he was quite willing to do so.
Upon hearing this news, the Jiang family members were all like ants on a hot pan, and the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness turned red with embarrassment.
He was really about to burst out asking directly.
However, if they were to ask, it would be tantamount to revealing that the Jiang family could hear the conversation between the system and Xu Wanying, which could alert Xu Wanying and the artifact. If they didn't talk to the unified system when it came to them, it would be a complete loss.
On one side is a magical artifact that predicts the future, and on the other side is self-castration to save her son.
When both were placed on the scales, Marquis Zhongyi closed his eyes but ultimately remained silent.
Alright, it's not shameful for the Jiang family to have a eunuch. Anyway, Pan-ge'er will become a eunuch in the future. Let his uncle do it first, so that when it's Pan-ge'er's turn, he can have some experience to pass on and won't have to be castrated alone and all alone.
The system was almost in tears: [Host, stop laughing! I've never seen a woman more vicious than you!]
Hearing its impotent and furious curses, Xu Wanying laughed even more wildly.
[Hey, Tongzi, aren't I super excited right now? Full of energy, huh? The angrier you are, the happier I am, but this energy... sigh, I'm just not using it. I'll just let you watch, hahaha!]
Xu Wanying didn't forget to provoke it, displaying a smug and petty attitude, which angered the system to the point that the electrical current crackled, but it was powerless to retaliate.
It's a "poor man's happiness" system; it's useless except for watching gossip and charging up.
Unable to resolve the issue with the host at crucial moments, and also unable to punish the host when it's infuriatingly angry, it's essentially a useless piece of trash.
