It's so good to have you.
"As expected, you are the master of cheat codes. I really regret that you weren't born in ancient times, otherwise my father would definitely admire you very much." Jiang Jingshu's eyes lit up. She knew that the system would definitely have a way.
"Your Highness, you should pay attention in class."
Jiang Jingshu sighed, then cleared her mind and began to listen to the lecture.
However, Jiang Jingshu didn't know many words at all, and English class was like reading a foreign language to her.
A day passed quickly. Jiang Jingshu packed her schoolbag, walked out of the classroom, and on the way, she ran into the old man who sold candied hawthorns again.
She was overjoyed. "This is wonderful! I thought I would never taste such delicious food again." She bought two skewers and ate them on the street.
While eating, I chatted with the system. "I never thought I could eat on the street before."
Women in ancient times were bound by the Three Obediences and Four Virtues throughout their lives, and by countless worldly constraints.
Jiang Jingshu felt that she was being too negative. Even though she had already gotten rid of all of this, could show her face in public, and didn't have to become the kind of person the world expected her to be, she didn't feel very happy.
"Your Highness, now that you're here, don't dwell on those unhappy things from the past."
Jiang Jingshu didn't know what she was feeling lost about. Perhaps it was because, in that era, countless women were bound by societal constraints. They could never escape the shackles imposed on women by society. Their minds were bound by the so-called "Three Obediences and Four Virtues," their talents were stifled by the idea that "a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent," and even their marriages were interfered with for the sake of the country and their families. It seemed that these women in ancient times never truly lived for themselves.
Just eating a candied hawthorn outside stirred up a thousand and one emotions in Jiang Jingshu's heart.
After a long silence, she only said one sentence: "I just hope that everyone's life is getting better."
The system did not reply to her, and Jiang Jingshu silently walked home.
Today is the last day that Auntie is here. Jiang Yuan will be back from her business trip the next day. She cooked a lot of dishes, all of which are the kind that Jiang Jingshu likes to eat.
As if sensing that Jiang Jingshu was in a bad mood, the aunt served her a bowl of soup and asked, "Did something unpleasant happen at school?"
Jiang Jingshu shook her head, "Auntie's cooking skills are really superb."
After dinner, she lay in her room, took out her phone, and logged onto the school forum.
The post has already been deleted.
Jiang Jingshu was a little confused. Soon, another post with the exact same message appeared.
Jiang Jingshu quickly took a screenshot.
The post sparked a lot of discussion as soon as it was published.
Contentment brings happiness: 666 I knew this kind of woman wasn't innocent.
111: Can the person upstairs shut up? Are you going to label someone just because they took a picture without their consent?
Kitten: Who knows what they're doing in the hotel.
111: Wow, who knows what's going on in your head? The only thing in the photo is that pink pendant in the hotel trash can, and the person isn't there.
Not full: This Jiang Jingshu isn't even good-looking, how come she's so flirtatious?
111: Don't you have a mirror at home? Don't you know what you look like? I don't even dare to look at you when I'm eating, for fear that I'll throw up my lunch in the pot.
Sediment: Uh, I wouldn't agree to date a woman like that.
111: Oh my, when will you ever feel a little inferior? Do people even notice you? You're just talking nonsense.
Jiang Jingshu scrolled through the comments and couldn't help but smile. "Help, what does Tian Li mean?"
"Your Highness," before the system could speak, Jiang Jingshu chuckled, "Does this mean 'man'?"
"Your Highness is wise. Has Your Highness guessed who sent this '111'?"
Jiang Jingshu took screenshots of the number of times she had forwarded those abusive comments. "Of course," she said, referring to the person who had always stood by her side and been there for her, someone she was truly grateful to.
She carefully preserved the evidence, then took out her phone and sent a message to the chat window. It contained only two words: "Thank you."
Soon, a question mark appeared on the other end.
A while later, another message came in, "Jiang Jiang, did you send this to the wrong person?"
The dark clouds of sadness and stigma had been dispelled by the reply from the person in front of her. She stared at the message for a long time before finally typing a few words: "It's so good to have you."

The post was quickly deleted by the school administrator, and Jiang Jingshu never saw such a post again. However, many people would subconsciously keep their distance from her whenever they saw her.
What's more, after Jiang Jingshu passed by, they began to "amicably" discuss her with their companions.
Every time Su Xiaoyue scolds these people away, she creates a new post to scold them again.
Jiang Jingshu had already confirmed with the system that the post was indeed sent by Wang Shengli, and the pink pendant was indeed hers. She ran to the hotel entrance and told the front desk everything, "That's how it happened. Could you please let me see the surveillance footage from that day?"
The receptionist seemed quite embarrassed. "Young lady, please don't make things difficult for me. Hotel surveillance footage isn't something you can just look at whenever you want."
"I've already explained the whole story to you, is that still not enough?" Jiang Jingshu was still unwilling to give up. She looked at the receptionist, wanting to try again.
"I'm so sorry," the receptionist said, refusing her again.
Jiang Jingshu stopped making things difficult for the receptionist and turned to leave. On the way, she spoke to the system, "Help, do you think the teacher already knows that Wang Shengli posted the message?"
"What makes you say that, Your Highness?"
Jiang Jingshu gave a bitter smile. "I can't trace it by IP address, but the school can, right?"
Not receiving a reply from the system, Jiang Jingshu said again, "That post has been forwarded a lot, so it must be illegal, right?"
"Are you worried about damaging the school's reputation?" Jiang Jingshu smiled instead of getting angry.
The system's silence further confirmed that Jiang Jingshu's guess at this moment was correct.
“I knew it, I should have thought of that sooner.” Jiang Jingshu walked out of the hotel. “In the past, scandals and royal secrets that occurred in the palace were often resolved in this way.”
She tilted her head back, her legs feeling weak. "Just like my mother, no one in the world would know that she was born a palace maid." Similarly, her eyes sharpened. "To prevent others from knowing, my father issued an edict early on to remove the mother and keep the child."
Outsiders were unaware of the existence of the Seven Princesses in Yongning Kingdom.
Just two days ago, her homeroom teacher, Zhou Xiao, held her hand and said, "It's okay, trust your teacher, I will definitely give you justice."
Then they protected the instigator.
"Help, I need to call the police."
I will absolutely not let this matter end like this.
Jiang Jingshu immediately went to the police station, but was not taken seriously. They told her to come back with her guardian to file a police report.
That evening, when she got home, Jiang Yuan had already returned from his business trip. Jiang Jingshu sat on the sofa and said, "Dad, I want to discuss something with you."
"What's wrong, Xiaojing? Why are you so serious?" Jiang Yuan chuckled and ruffled Jiang Jingshu's hair. Looking at Jiang Jingshu's serious face, he couldn't help but ask, "Has Auntie been taking good care of you these past few days?"
"The aunt is taking very good care of you. I have something very important to tell you."
I didn't want to tell Jiang Yuan about this, and I didn't want others to worry, but as a minor, Jiang Jingshu needed a guardian to accompany her when she went to report the case.
She sat on the sofa and recounted, word by word, what she had experienced over the past few days. Finally, as if unable to hold back her grievances, she said, "I want to protect myself, but my strength is still not enough."
After Jiang Jingshu finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Yuan, whose expression had become serious, even showing a hint of anger.
Jiang Jingshu was startled. The current Jiang Yuan was exactly the same as the Yongning Emperor who held a high position.
"Tomorrow," Jiang Yuan said after hearing the news.
Jiang Jingshu seemed not to have reacted yet, "What?"
"Tomorrow, Dad will go with you to report the case."
These words struck Jiang Jingshu's heart like a stabilizing force.
Jiang Jingshu didn't fall asleep at night. She went out of her room, where a faint light was still on in the living room.
Seemingly noticing the person behind him, Jiang Yuan sat up from the sofa. "Xiao Jing, aren't you asleep?"
"I fell asleep, I need to get up to go to the bathroom."
When Jiang Jingshu came out, the living room was empty. She went back to her room, lay on the bed, and still couldn't sleep.
"Your Highness, is something on your mind?"
The system voice sounded, and Jiang Jingshu said, "I never thought before that someone would lose sleep because they were worried about me."
“It seems that apart from Granny, no one else will lose sleep because of me.” Jiang Jingshu lay in bed. “So I basically don’t talk to Granny much.”
"I never dared to let her know about being bullied and beaten by my younger brother, or being harassed by the Empress." Jiang Jingshu didn't want to recall those painful memories anymore, so she closed her eyes.
"Your Highness, perhaps you should learn to rely on others for a short time," the system's comforting words came from his mind.
"I don't want to see the people who care about me unable to sleep because of me." Jiang Jingshu turned over. "Who can I turn to?
The system's voice became faint, and Jiang Jingshu wondered if it was just her imagination, but she thought she heard four words.
"You can contact me."
Seemingly unsure, Jiang Jingshu tentatively asked, "Help, did you just speak?"
"Your Highness, you misheard... I didn't say that."

Jiang Jingshu hadn't slept all night, and her dark circles made her look like a panda. She stretched and prepared to wash up.
Jiang Yuan told her that he would take her to school later.
After she finished packing, Jiang Yuan drove her to the school gate.
When they arrived at school, Jiang Yuan asked her, "Which floor are your teachers' offices on?"
"Are you here to see the teacher?" Jiang Jingshu asked, somewhat surprised by Jiang Yuan's words. "Is it because of what I told you yesterday?"
Jiang Yuan patted Jiang Jingshu's head. "Good girl, I've already talked to your homeroom teacher. I'll go see him today." After a pause, Jiang Yuan added, "It's not just about that. I also want to chat with your homeroom teacher and see how you're doing at school."
For some reason, Jiang Jingshu suddenly thought of her score of 300. She guiltily looked away and said, "Our classroom is next to ours. Come in with me."
Jiang Jingshu entered the classroom first and returned to her seat.
Su Xiaoyue came closer and looked at the dark circles under Jiang Jingshu's eyes, saying with some concern, "Jiang Jiang, did you not sleep well last night? Your dark circles are so heavy."
Xie Zhijin passed by Jiang Jingshu, glanced at her, and said, "You look like a red panda from the south now."
Upon hearing Xie Zhijin's words, Jiang Jingshu looked up and stared at him, but Xie Zhijin turned his head away awkwardly. "Why are you staring at me?"
"Thank you." Jiang Jingshu smiled slightly at Xie Zhijin.
Xie Zhijin:?
“Pandas are national treasures and very cute. Thank you for praising me.” Jiang Jingshu tilted her head and blinked at Xie Zhijin.
Seemingly unaccustomed to being stared at like that, Xie Zhijin coughed twice and returned to his seat.
Su Xiaoyue quietly leaned closer, "I think I just saw Uncle. Did you tell him?"
Jiang Jingshu nodded, but before she could speak, Zhou Xiaobian walked in from the classroom. "Shengli, Jingshu, come to the office."
