Chapter 12 Successful deception
"Shut up!"

Aunt Xu scolded her, but Qin Su wouldn't listen: "Mother, I don't think you're fat, I just really think it would be better if you could lose some weight. Haven't you always wanted to give me a younger brother?"

Having a son was Xu's obsession. In the past, whenever she scolded the original owner of this body, she would add, "If you hadn't taken your brother's place, I wouldn't be suffering like this."

These words had tormented Qin Sangsang's heart countless times, causing her pain and sorrow.

And now, it's just the right time to deal with Aunt Xu.

"Didn't I tell you to shut up?!"

Aunt Xu was about to hit Qin Su when she said, "Is it that I don't want to lose weight? It's that I can't lose weight!"

Fortunately, Qin Su dodged quickly and didn't get hit, but she still made a note of it in her little notebook.

"I only eat one meal a day, isn't that too little? How much thinner do you want me to be? Do you want me to starve myself to death?"

That fierce look in her eyes made it seem like Qin Su was the one who made her fat, and she was coming to kill her to pay for it.

If it were the original owner of this body, she would have already lowered her head in fear or grievance by now. Qin Su stepped forward and took her hand:

"I understand how you feel, Mother. You've already tried your best."

The originally furious Aunt Xu paused for a moment because of her action, and her anger seemed to have subsided.

"But if you still can't lose weight, it means your method is wrong."

"Method?"

Aunt Xu's eyes clearly showed confusion. Most people lose weight by not eating and starving themselves.

Is there anything else besides that?
"correct."

Qin Su smiled, her approachable demeanor making one instinctively want to believe her: "Mother, think about everyone in this mansion, who is the thinnest?"

“Of course, it’s those who do rough work…” Before she could finish the word “of,” Aunt Xu’s suspicious gaze turned to Qin Su: “What are you trying to say?”

Qin Su: "Mother is so smart, she must have figured it out. If a woman wants to lose weight, besides not eating, the best way is to combine it with exercise. Those low-level servants eat little and do a lot, so aren't they all thin?"

Aunt Xu didn't speak, but she thought of the servants she usually saw. It was true that the more work they did, the thinner they became. Wasn't that because they were hungry and tired?
But from the moment she got married, she made up her mind never to do servant's work again; she couldn't possibly...

"Don't try to fool me, I don't believe you!"

Aunt Xu flung Qin Su's hand away. To be honest, she's quite hard to fool.

The system was just about to tell the host to ignore this woman, who was just a villainous supporting character, when Qin Su lowered her head and looked disappointed.
"Why would I lie to my mother? This is all based on my experience. You can't lose weight just by starving yourself; you have to do things, keep your body moving, and the fat will disappear. In this world, no one wants my mother to be loved by my father more than I do..."

The last sentence really struck a chord with Aunt Xu, and she, who was about to hurl insults at him, stopped herself.

"Hmph, I don't believe your nonsense!"

Finally, she left those words behind, stormed out, and slammed the wooden door shut as she left.

The system whispered: [Host, think of it this way, there's actually a silver lining, at least she forgot to ask you to cook, right?]

Upon hearing this, Qin Su suddenly smiled, then turned and walked towards the dressing table.

Just then, the sound of water buckets splashing came from outside, followed by Xu's cursing and swearing: "What a damn bucket, how can it be so heavy?"

System: [Strange, she's fetching water. Is she really planning to work to lose weight?]

Qin Su had already sat down in front of the dressing table and said calmly, "If you have a request, you will naturally behave..." Then her voice stopped abruptly as she stared at the extremely familiar face in the mirror, and she froze. The face reflected in the not-so-clear bronze mirror was hazy, but it looked at least seven or eight parts like Qin Su's own face.

With her pure yet alluring beauty, she's the epitome of a "white lotus" – if she were to grow up a bit more, no one could resist her charm.

The eyes weren't originally quite similar; Qin Su still remembered the description of the female lead in the original novel:

"...The girl's eyes seemed to be shrouded in an unyielding Jiangnan misty rain, melancholy and sorrowful, making one's heart ache."

At this moment, the eyes of the person in the mirror resemble Qin Su's own: "Clean and bright, like warm sunshine, subconsciously inviting."

If you widen your eyes slightly, you'll look even more innocent and alluringly pure.

In modern times, friends often say that she is clearly a fox spirit, but she has the most deceitful eyes.

She is destined to be easily loved by men, yet will never be possessed, becoming a white moonlight hanging in the sky.

However, upon seeing the familiar face, Qin Su did not smile. She finally understood why the tyrant had reacted that way in her dream last night.

"What do you mean? Why do I look so much like the female lead?"

The girl's voice was still beautiful and sweet, but her overly cold tone sent a chill down one's spine.

The system, though lacking a physical body, seemed to sense the danger and explained: "[The host has been selected as the most suitable candidate for this mission, and has a high compatibility with the original body, so it's normal that you resemble each other.]"

After a long while, the girl finally spoke coldly: "You'd better be."

Looking at that familiar face... Qin Su frowned unconsciously, feeling as if she herself was seducing a tyrant, a strange feeling she couldn't quite describe.

Taking advantage of the fact that Madam Xu hadn't come to cause trouble, Qin Su took out the ointment and applied it to herself.

Regardless, the scars on her face were really an eyesore, even giving her the urge to slash the tyrant's handsome face as well.

The ointment felt very comfortable on her face. Seeing that it not only healed wounds but also promoted blood circulation and removed blood stasis, she casually applied some to her neck as well.

The person was really ruthless; after some time, the marks looked even more frightening.

She applied the makeup with a blank expression, and the system remained silent. It was best not to mention anything of her own at this point.

"Get out here and eat!"

After an unknown amount of time, a woman's rude shouts suddenly came from outside, and Qin Su, who was resting on the bed, opened her eyes abruptly.

Then the system exclaimed in surprise: "[Host! Xu Shi really did listen to you and went to cook!]"

Qin Su opened the door and saw dishes laid out on the small stone table in the courtyard. Xu Shi sat there with a dark face, and began to curse as soon as she saw Qin Su come out:
"Are you deaf? I've been calling you for ages and you still can't hear me?"

Qin Su ignored her and walked over step by step. When she saw the food in front of her, which did not look very appealing but was still steaming hot, her nose tingled and she almost burst into tears.

The complex emotions welling up in my chest seemed to be telling the story of the original owner's grievances:
So it turns out my mother can cook.

So it turns out her mother can cook for her.

But why has she never been able to eat it?
"You brat, what are you standing there for? Go wash your hands!"

The rude rebuke woke Qin Su. She didn't argue back and turned to wash her hands. Even so, she could still hear the woman cursing behind her.
