Chapter 346 Mary Sue’s Sister-in-law (1)
"What did you say?" Mu Yunchao couldn't believe his ears when he heard what Liu Yan said, "You said you want me to take Madam Zhou as my concubine? Are you crazy?!"
Ever since Liu Yan learned that Zhou Shichu was the meritorious person who donated the new grain seeds, she has been troubled by this matter. In addition, the drought came a year ago. Because of the existence of the new grain seeds, the area under Mu Yunchao's rule did not suffer a great famine as she remembered. Zhou Shichu's reputation once again reached its peak, and Liu Yan could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb.
She had always positioned herself as Mu Yunchao's good wife, so naturally she had to be generous and virtuous and take the initiative to take a concubine for her husband. So she had to suppress the bitterness and jealousy in her heart and took the initiative to bring up the matter.
But unexpectedly, Mu Yunchao's reaction seemed different from her guess?
"My husband, Madam Zhou has a very good reputation now. If you marry her, it will be good for your reputation among the people. It can also keep Madam Zhou under control and prevent people from other forces from targeting her. This is a win-win situation. Why not do it?" Liu Yan said in a self-righteous manner, acting like a virtuous wife.
Mu Yunchao looked at her in astonishment. "Because Madam Zhou and I don't have this idea! She is a very opinionated woman, it is impossible for her to agree to be a concubine. And don't you think that making her a concubine is not a reward for her, but a humiliation for her? With her merits, it is enough to be passed down to future generations. How can we let her be a concubine?"
Liu Yan's eyes widened immediately, and she asked in disbelief, "Husband, do you want me to give up my position as my legal wife to her?!"
Mu Yunchao was choked by her words. For the first time, he felt that his wife might not be as smart and considerate as he imagined, otherwise, after all he had just said, his wife would have misunderstood his meaning to this extent.
After a while, Mu Yunchao said with a headache: "No, what I mean is that I will not take Madam Zhou as a concubine, because this is not a reward for her, but a humiliation. I will not let you vacate your position as your wife to give her, because Madam Zhou will not be interested in such a reward, and I have no romantic feelings for her. If I accomplish my great cause in the future, I will naturally give her another reward, so you don't need to worry about it, Madam."
He said so much, but Liu Yan only heard him say that he would not take Zhou Shichu as a concubine, nor would he let her vacate the position of wife. Liu Yan was immediately moved to tears: "Husband, you are so kind!"
Mu Yunchao sighed helplessly. This wife was good in every way except that she seemed to be obsessed with being a good wife.
Zhou Shichu had no idea that someone actually wanted her to be a concubine. If she knew, she would twist Liu Yan's head off. She is rich and famous now, but she is a good person, so why does she run to be a canary in someone else's backyard and compete for favors with a group of women? Even if her brain is made of paste, she would not be so mean.
Five years later, Mu Yunchao unified the world and officially ascended the throne as emperor. After enfeoffment of those meritorious officials who had helped him conquer the world, he immediately enfeoffed Zhou Shichu as the founding princess, with fiefdoms and the same status as a marquis.
At this point, he finally fulfilled his promise to Zhou Shichu and gave her a stable status.
Also, because Zhou Shichu had made great contributions and was famous, and would not threaten his rule, Mu Yunchao was happy to make her a mascot to reflect his tolerance and magnanimity, so he always took good care of her.
Zhou Shichu would naturally not let him down. She acted like a free princess. No one dared to bully her. Instead, everyone wanted to please her and win her over.
Even Liu Yan, who had originally regarded her as a love rival, had to humble herself and win her over because she had given birth to a son and had to compete with other concubines for favor and to secure her son's position as crown prince.
Of course, Zhou Shichu would not be stupid enough to get involved in such things. She lived her life as a princess without any worries and only cared about eating, drinking and having fun. She even found a young scholar and gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. She lived a very happy life and lived to be 98 years old. She died only after three emperors had passed away.
When Shi Chu woke up from his deep sleep, he heard a crying voice saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. I will compensate you for your clothes. Please don't complain to me. I need this job..."
When she opened her eyes, she saw a young girl in waitress clothes, crying and looking pitiful, apologizing to the man in front of her.
“What’s the use of saying sorry? Are you blind? You can’t see a grown-up like me? And you want compensation? Can you afford it? One of my clothes is worth ten years’ salary of yours. How can you compensate me…” the young man who was splashed with wine shouted angrily.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! It's all my fault. Can I pay it back in installments..."
Shi Chu received the original owner's memories amid the two people's repeated accusations and apologies.
It turned out that the man and woman in front of her were the male and female protagonists in the plot of this world. The man was her younger brother, the rich young master Ning Zhiyi, and the woman was Cinderella's part-time waitress Chang Jiaer. This was the scene of their first meeting. Chang Jiaer accidentally spilled wine on Ning Zhiyu at a cocktail party, and the two began their tragic love story.
The original identity, Ning Shichu, was Ning Zhiyi's sister. She married Xi Ciming, the eldest son of the Xi family, who was a good match for her right after graduating from university. Xi Ciming was a typical workaholic, with no interest or romance. He married only to fulfill his life mission. He had a cold personality and only cared about interests, not friendship.
Naturally, the original owner had no feelings for such a husband. Because she had no children, she was emotionally empty and naturally focused her attention on her mother's family. It was for this reason that when her brother later fell in love with a Cinderella, she immediately exploded. Relying on her status as Ning Zhiyi's sister, she did a lot of things to break up the couple and made herself a villain.
Naturally, a villain like her could not separate the hero and the heroine, so in the end, she, the nosy and evil sister-in-law, was avenged by her own brother, cut off ties with the Ning family, and abandoned by her cold-blooded husband. She had no place in either her natal family or her husband's family, and finally she died alone at home in depression for half a month without anyone knowing.
When Shi Chu thought of his original body's fate, he shuddered all over and immediately stayed away from the scene before him.
This is a case of fighting, no friendship. But the original owner took it seriously and went forward to help his brother to scold Chang Jiaer. But after they finally got married, Chang Jiaer would not blame Ning Zhiyi. She would only remember the original owner's arrogance and the humiliation she brought to Chang Jiaer, and then whisper in Ning Zhiyi's ear. The original owner would have more evidence of bullying Chang Jiaer, and Ning Zhiyi would have another reason to "kill his own relative for the sake of justice."
Therefore, the original body's mistake was that he took his identity too seriously. For a male protagonist like Ning Zhiyi, the female protagonist is the only person he cares about. Others, even his parents and relatives, are irrelevant.
