"Ding! The crisis at the restaurant has been resolved. The owner is rewarded with twenty taels of silver, plus a rare spiritual plant from the 'Medical Record'."
Nan Zhi: "When did you assign me this task?"
Cherry: "While you were sleeping."
Nanzhi was very frustrated that several missions were issued without her knowledge.
What if I don't finish?
Immediately afterwards, an electrical sound rang in Nanzhi's mind.
"Eliminate, erase," Cherry repeated several times.
As if afraid Nanzhi wouldn't know.
Nanzhi looked at the shadow that appeared before her eyes, a small cluster, which should be a cherry.
"What good would it do you if I died?"
cherry:......
Why would the owner ask such a terrible question? But thinking about it, I realized it was my own fault.
"Please, Master, do not have any unrealistic ideas."
Nanzhi could detect a hint of fear in his tone.
“From now on, do as I say. You need to know who the master is. It’s not you, it’s me.” Nan Zhi repeated this sentence twice.
Cherry was furious, but dared not voice her true thoughts.
What if the owner gets upset and tries to kill themselves again?
The main system stipulates that if the host it parasitizes dies, the corresponding system will also perish along with the host.
Left with no other choice, it had to agree to the task.
The matter at the restaurant has been temporarily resolved, and Chen Quan should not have time to cause trouble for them for the time being.
With Li Fu'er around, he wouldn't have an easy time.
She was the one who told Li Fu'er the news, and she wasn't afraid that Li Fu'er would turn against her, after all, she still had evidence of Li Fu'er's infidelity.
Nanzhi found a horse-drawn carriage in the county, but Liu Dezhi insisted on personally delivering it.
Nanzhi had no choice but to comply with him.
As soon as the carriage arrived at the city gate, a blue figure rushed out from the crowd and blocked the carriage.
Liu Dezhi quickly tightened the reins, bringing the carriage to a stop.
"How do you walk? Are you trying to die?!"
Liu Dezhi reached out and smoothed his belly fat, which moved along with the movement.
He was determined to see who this reckless person was!
Upon getting closer and seeing the person kneeling in front of the car, the curses that were about to escape his lips fell back down his throat.
At this moment, the person inside the carriage spoke.
"What's wrong?"
Liu Dezhi ran back: "Master, it's Miss Wu."
There was a moment of silence inside the carriage, then a pair of delicate hands lifted the curtain.
Nanzhi slowly stepped down from the carriage.
It stopped in front of Wu Nanshuang.
Wu Xue Shuang remained kneeling on the ground, her head pressed against the earth, refusing to raise her head.
Nan Zhi: "Miss Wu, what is it that you need to say like this? Get up quickly."
Hearing the voice above her, Wu Nanshuang straightened up and kowtowed again.
"I have no way to repay your kindness in saving me, young lady. Please take me in, my lord."
Nan Zhi was taken aback; Lin Chengyi must have told her the truth.
However, Nanzhi did not expect her to come to her door.
She helped the woman up with one hand. "Miss Wu, now that you have avenged your parents, you should take charge of your own life from now on. To become a slave or maid would be to lower your own status."
Wu Nanshuang was moved. "If it weren't for you, I would be dead by now. Since you saved me, my life belongs to you from now on."
Her persistence is heartbreaking; she is fearless of power and dares to fight back. This is how Nan Zhi describes her.
Nanzhi asked her, "Are you sure? If you come with me in the future, I..."
"Don't worry, Master," Wu Nanshuang interrupted Nanzhi, then took out a few things from her bosom.
Liu Dezhi was shocked; this girl was truly an honest person.
"This is all that I have, and I am now handing it over to you, Miss. From now on, it belongs to you."
A fifty-tael silver note and two land deeds.
With the three hundred taels of compensation from the government, this was all that Wu Nanshuang owned.
Nanzhi looked at her intently and placed the items back into her hands.
He said softly, "These things should have been yours. Since you plan to follow me from now on, let me make it clear in advance that I can help you with whatever you want to do. Of course, I can't tolerate betrayal. If you betray me..."
Wu Nanshuang knelt down: "Master, rest assured, if I were to betray you, I, Nanshuang, would commit suicide to atone for my sins."
Nan Zhi nodded, and Liu Dezhi knew that the matter had been settled.
But since the master is going home, we need to tell Miss Wu where she is going.
"Master, is Miss Wu also returning to the restaurant?"
Nanzhi shook her head and pulled the person up.
“I happen to need someone to help me, so she will stay by my side from now on.”
Wu Xue Shuang said excitedly, "Thank you, Master."
As soon as Nanzhi returned to the village, Granny Liu from the village entrance rushed over in a hurry.
"Nan girl, where have you been? People from the county have come down."
Nanzhi was confused. "Grandma Liu, who's here?"
Grandma Liu exclaimed excitedly, "Of course it's an imperial edict!"
Nanzhi's mind went blank for a moment.
Imperial edict?
It's related to her.
When Nanzhi arrived at her doorstep, she saw that the place was packed with people, both inside and out.
Someone shouted, "They're back! They're back!"
That's how they made way for us.
To her surprise, Zhang Hongfu was also there.
Upon seeing Nanzhi, Zhang Hongfu smiled and walked towards her.
"Master Zhang," Nan Zhi bowed.
Zhang Hongfu was nearly scared out of his wits. Although he was Lin Chengyi's advisor, he had not entered officialdom and at most helped his superiors with their plans.
"I would never dare to accept the courtesy of a student from Nanjing University."
Nan Zhi was completely bewildered. "Lord Nan?"
Zhang Hongfu smiled and said, "My lord, you don't know yet, hurry up," she pulled Nanzhi to the official in charge of rites.
"This is a ceremonial official from the capital."
Nan Zhi: "Greetings, Your Excellency."
