He Yunxiao strolled around the Fan residence.
Originally, he had nothing to do, but then he remembered that the girl who stole the antidote might still be in the garden of the Fan family. So he excitedly rushed to the fruit tree where he first met the girl who stole the antidote.
This place is exactly the same as before.
He Yunxiao was not discouraged at all. The girl who gave him the antidote was a shrewd person, and that being ordinary didn't mean anything.
He walked along the path leading out of the place, strolling around the area. Apart from a secluded hut that was empty but lit with candles, he didn't find anything else unusual.
He Yunxiao had already left, but then he realized something was wrong and forced himself to turn back to the secluded cottage in the garden.
The small house gave him a strong sense of unease, though He Yunxiao couldn't quite put his finger on it. He just stared at the house, and the more he looked, the more something felt off.
He Yunxiao watched for a while, his gaze finally settling on the candles in the room.
It dawned on me instantly!
The living room of the Fan family mansion had no candles, tea, or snacks; it was just a bare room with tables and chairs. How could they be so extravagant in this deserted place in the garden, lighting candles during the day?
This is completely unlike the style of the Fan family.
He Yunxiao walked into the house and found that it was indeed very much in the style of the Fan family mansion, with only a table and chairs, extremely simple.
However, even in such a simple place, there was a half-eaten plate of candied fruit on the table. And the candied fruit was left there unattended.
He Yunxiao recalled the girl who loved to eat fruit and was given the antidote. Looking at the plate of candied fruit, he increasingly felt that the girl who gave the antidote often stayed here.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have left half a plate of candied fruit here, and he certainly wouldn't have stolen the martial arts novel he had buried that very morning.
However, this candied fruit alone doesn't prove anything.
He Yunxiao racked his brains, trying to figure out how to find some more evidence in this empty little house. At a loss, he suddenly leaned down and sniffed the chair.
Martial artists have much stronger senses than ordinary people, and when he got close enough to smell it, He Yunxiao could actually detect a faint fragrance.
The fragrance was very faint; He Yunxiao couldn't discern anything specific, but he was certain the person sitting there was a woman, though it wasn't the scent of any of the female protagonists he knew. After much thought, he concluded it was highly likely the scent of the girl who carried the antidote!
At this point, He Yunxiao had run out of options.
In any case, it's highly likely that this room is connected to the girl who gave her the antidote.
There is one more thing that He Yunxiao can be sure of.
It was from the unextinguished candle, the half-eaten plate of candied fruit, and the lingering fragrance on the chair that one could deduce that the girl who carried the antidote frequently came here.
This conclusion puzzled He Yunxiao. Why was Li Qingmeng, the girl who gave him the antidote, a confidante of Princess Meng Qingqian, always coming to the Fan residence?
However, He Yunxiao quickly figured it out.
What else could I be doing at the Fan residence? For Fan Yu, for General Fan, of course.
Why see Fan Yu? Meng Qingqian wants to control the military and check Prime Minister Han.
When reading the original book, "Girl, I Just Want to Cultivate," He Yunxiao disliked the character Meng Qingqian. It wasn't that the author portrayed the character poorly, but rather that he portrayed her too well.
In the original book, Meng Qingqian holds a high position of power, has extensive connections, is skilled in scheming, and is ruthless.
She can be described as a very successful and strong female character.
This prompted many readers to exclaim, "Sister, step on me!"
However, He Yunxiao does not belong to this category. He belongs to Chu Xiaoxiao's faction, which likes readers who like cute and adorable girls.
Although it turns out that Chu Xiaoxiao is nothing like "cute and adorable," she is indeed that character in the original novel.
Of the six female protagonists who have appeared since the transmigration, the one who wasn't in the original book, Nan Zhu, is actually the one who fits the character's personality quite well.
Because of the fan filter he had while reading the book, He Yunxiao could never bring himself to hate Chu Xiaoxiao. Also, because he liked cute and adorable girls, he fell in love with Nan Zhu as soon as he saw her and couldn't help but tease and flirt with her. In the end, he let himself go and crashed the plane.
Leaving the cottage, on the way back to the Fan residence, He Yunxiao was filled with emotion.
Looking back on this experience of time travel, Meng Qingqian really had a tough time.
Back then, she was just a little girl of ten years old. In order to stabilize the Meng family's rule, she was promoted to power by the entire Meng and Li clans. She was in charge of great power and was admired by thousands. There must have been many difficulties and hardships that ordinary people could not imagine.
However, despite understanding Meng Qingqian, He Yunxiao still didn't like her.
Imagine if you actually ended up in Meng Qingqian's bed one day. Given her personality, she might very well start humming and singing softly to please you. Then, when you're feeling all smug, she'll whisper sweet nothings in your ear, trying to get you to do something for her. And before you know it, you'll agree. Then, she'll use your words as leverage, leading to endless trouble.
Although He Yunxiao, now possessing "nuclear power," wasn't afraid of her faking it, he was worried she wouldn't be able to handle it. But being with her, unable to relax even in those situations, was quite exhausting.
Fortunately, Chu Fan has no intention of contacting Meng Qingqian or leaving the Fan residence.
That's great!
Although He Yunxiao is a womanizer, he is quite content with having five leading ladies.
Although Meng Qingqian was said to be exceptionally beautiful, she already had her sister Nanzhu. Could she possibly have both sisters? Wouldn't Nanzhu's wife explode again? Even if Nanzhu's wife didn't, with Meng Qingqian's personality, would she agree to compete with her sister for a man? Or for the sisters to be harmonious and share a husband? It was simply impossible.
Although Meng Qingqian is among the known female leads, He Yunxiao has absolutely no intention of touching her.
