After hearing her gossip, all the civil and military officials went crazy.

Chapter 150 Chang Yingying Shines Brightly

The system shook its head and said: [Wrong, wrong, wrong, host, you underestimate men.]

He went directly to his lover's mother, and the two became lovers.

Chang Yingying had just returned when she heard such an explosive statement, as if she had done something incredibly good.

At this moment, she regretted it! She should have gone to find Tiantian later.

Although she was happy to help the sisters in her village, she was even more unhappy because she missed out on the melons!

Flower: Don't stop, keep going.

Wind: What's next? What's next?
Yu Shuang: This is a bit of an explosion.

Fang Lingchu was so surprised that she couldn't speak.

Is this even possible? Daughter dies, so he goes to be with his mother-in-law? Is that even possible?
Did his mother-in-law agree?

The system laughed and said: "Of course I disagree, but what can I do? A lonely widow, an old widow, has no choice."

Besides, his mother-in-law isn't a good person either. She only disagrees with him because she has too many lovers and is also afraid of gossip. But if that person forces her, she can go along with it half-heartedly.

After his mother-in-law tasted the young man's charms, she became unstoppable, going from initial rejection to later accommodating him.

After they had been together for a while, he learned that his mother-in-law had worked in a brothel. She had retired because she was old and pregnant, and now she worked there taking on clients from older bachelors.

Her daughter was originally going to a brothel, but she ran into him and that's why she didn't go.

Now that his mother-in-law is old, she can still play with her daughter's husband, and she's being taken care of, enjoying her later years in peace. How could she not be happy?

It's a pity for Aunt Li, she didn't know about this at all!

Fang Lingchu's eyes darted around, and it was clear at a glance that she didn't have any good ideas.

[Guagua, is that old man Chang at his mother-in-law's house right now?]

The system, unsure of her intentions, still commented: "Yes, they claim to be relatives, live together every day, and spend most of their time in bed except for work hours. Let me see! They're planning to play in the yard tonight!"

Hearing this, Fang Lingchu became even more excited and asked, "Does Aunt Li know her husband's address?"

The system nodded as always and said, "[I know! It's just that the widow never comes out when she goes there, so I don't know.]"

Fang Lingchu chuckled, a hint of lewdness in his voice.

He asked with some curiosity, "Host, what are you going to do?"

Fang Lingchu's eyes were like those of a little fox; anyone who didn't know better would think she had seen something amazing!
[Of course, this is to add fuel to the fire.]

Then she went to Feng's ear and said something, and Feng hurriedly walked out.

Everyone else was curious about what she had asked Feng to do.

But they didn't dare ask!

The sun was about to set.

Hua followed Chang Yingying to the kitchen to cook.

Fang Lingchu and Yu Shuang, one old and one young, continued to enjoy the cool air in the courtyard.

Gu Wangyan and Feng returned together.

Chang Yingying's parents also returned.

Gu Wangyan had spent the whole day helping out in the fields with Chang Yingying's parents and was only just getting back. On the way, Feng quickly shared the gossip he had heard that day with Gu Wangyan.

After hearing Gu Wangyan's words, they knew what Fang Lingchu was planning to do. It seemed that they were going to watch the excitement tonight.

When Chang Yingying's mother came in and saw her daughter, she asked, "Yingying, what happened today? I saw your Aunt Li rushing off to the county town."

Chang Yingying looked up at the wind, then shook her head as if she had thought of something and said, "No! Aunt Li is probably missing Uncle Chang!"

Chang Yingying's family wasn't interested in other people's gossip; they just asked a few simple questions and then said nothing more.

As if remembering something, he continued, "Didn't those officials come today either?"

This time it was Chang's father who asked, as he was quite concerned about this kind of thing.

Chang Yingying shook her head and said, "I've been home all day and haven't seen it."

When Chang's father heard that no one had come, he breathed a sigh of relief, since his family was in a situation where they couldn't afford to pay so many taxes.

Then they asked Chang Yingying if she had found any valuable medicinal herbs on the mountain.

Holding the herbs in her hand, Chang Yingying said, "There are a lot of Angelica dahurica and Bletilla striata, and then I found some wild mint, which can also be used as medicine. I should be able to exchange it for a few ounces each time. I plan to go to the deep mountains to take a look tomorrow."

Hearing his daughter's words, Chang's father said with some shame, "Daughter, it's all my fault for making you work so hard."

Chang Yingying's family originally ran a medical clinic, but her grandfather only had one son, her father, who had no talent for herbs.

At first, the family could manage because of my grandfather, but after he passed away, my grandmother also passed away.

My father didn't know how to do these things, so we had no choice but to move to the village. Since we didn't know how to farm, we just lived off our savings. Later, when we learned how, we had no money left.

To make a living, my father went to the casino to try his luck, but he was tricked and ended up owing a lot of money.

Later, Zhang Sanqian, remembering his grandfather's life-saving grace, lent money to their family, which saved his father's life.

This incident made matters worse for the already impoverished family.

Later, due to the imposition of various taxes, life became even worse.

If it weren't for the fact that Chang Yingying learned a little about medicine from watching her grandfather practice when she was young, and that she developed an interest in medicinal herbs as she grew up, and that she was also quite lucky, her family would have starved to death long ago.

Chang's father patted his daughter's hand and said, "Be careful. If all else fails, your mother and I will sell ourselves into servitude to the Zhang family. It's alright."

Chang Yingying didn't respond to this. It was obvious that Zhang Sanqian had come for her sake; if he didn't have money, he would have to go by himself.

However, she had already made two preparations.

If she goes, she will definitely make things difficult for the Zhang family; she has plenty of ways to deal with them.

If Zhang Sanqian behaves himself and doesn't try anything with her, then she'll wait three years, even though she'll be too old to get married by then.

But all she wanted was freedom. Besides, Miss Chu had said that she would meet her master, so she needed to work even harder now in order to win his favor.

If Zhang Sanqian has any improper thoughts about her, she wouldn't mind making him lose interest in women for the rest of his life.

No one knew what Chang Yingying was thinking; the system only noticed a change in the aura surrounding her.

[Host, I feel like Chang Yingying's luck has increased. The career that used to favor the male lead is now almost entirely in her favor.]

Hearing the system say that, Fang Lingchu glanced at Chang Yingying and found that she was indeed shining brightly now.

Fang Lingchu smiled and said, "A woman who works hard in her career should definitely shine. She just needs to get rid of her romantic obsession; she'll definitely succeed. She can try for the next imperial examination. But at her age, isn't it a bit too old to take the preliminary examination?"
