I'm not willing to be a cannon fodder for the female supporting role anymore

In the small world, he really lost his memory, and he lost his memory for several years.

Yueying felt that she must have found the truth. In the original text, the Marquis should have forced the Yan family to marry their daughter, but Yan's father disagreed. As a result, before the marriage was finalized, the Yan family was persecuted by the imperial concubine and the entire family was wiped out.

The heroine escaped twice because she took care of the hero in the back mountain. After the Yan family was destroyed, she and the amnesiac hero began a journey of upgrading various adventures.

A few days later, Yueying received a letter from home. Her strict father told her that the engagement had been cancelled and asked her to go home quickly and not cause trouble in the capital.

"Dad told me not to cause trouble in the capital and to go home quickly. Your father is in the frontier, what should we do about our engagement?"

Yueying carefully tested Sheng Shize's attitude.

It is important to conquer the male protagonist, but you also need to know the method and not be too hasty, so as not to make him disgusted.

"Then, do you want me to go back with you?"

"Actually, my question is how to explain this to my father when I get home."

"Just tell the truth. Does your father insist that you marry into the Marquis's family?"

"No, I'm talking about us."

Yueying pointed at Sheng Shize and then at herself.

"Our marriage is granted by the Emperor, so it's useless even if your father objects."

As the only son of General Zhenyuan, he is also a martial arts fanatic. His strict father probably likes him very much and would never object.

The two people were thinking different things. Yueying felt that it was still unknown when General Zhenyuan would come back. If she went back to Jinzhou, it would be too risky for the two of them to just have an engagement on the surface.

"Oh, I'm worried that your father won't agree."

"No, ever since I can remember, my father has let me make my own decisions. He rarely asks about my affairs."

"Marriage is a serious matter, and it cannot be decided by parents or matchmakers."

“We don’t need it.”

"How can I not need it!"

Yueying suddenly felt exhausted talking to this straight man. In ancient times, when a woman got married, she would definitely go through the three written documents and six betrothal documents. Even if a wealthy family wanted to take a concubine, some of them would require the man's elders to go there.

Seeing the tears in the girl's eyes, Sheng Shize panicked. He didn't know what he had said wrong.

"What's going on here?"

She turned around, turned her face away, and avoided Sheng Shize's outstretched hand.

Yueying bit her lower lip, feeling aggrieved.

"Don't cry, just speak out if you're angry, don't keep it to yourself."

"Your family wants a concubine, but you won't let your father go to my house to propose marriage."

"Pfft~"

When Sheng Shize heard the girl speaking with grievance and tears dripping down her cheeks, he still couldn't help laughing.

"Marry a wife, marry a wife, how can she be a concubine? The emperor has granted the marriage, so you dare not talk nonsense."

He took Yueying's hand and placed it on his heart.

"My father is guarding the border and will definitely not be able to come back, but there are other elders at home, and the imperial edict is expected to come down in the next two days."

"Tell me, which elder can surpass the emperor?"

"The emperor would issue an order? I thought it was just a favor."

"Do not cry?"

"Who told you to be unclear?"

"Okay, blame me. I'll explain it to you clearly next time."

Sheng Shize never thought that one day he would be so patient to coax a woman, because in his world, most women did not have high attainments in martial arts and had nothing to talk about with him.

When Zhong Tianyang and Sun Yinwu arrived, they happened to see Yueying having dinner and chatting with Sheng Shize. For some reason, he always felt that Yueying looked different from a few days ago, as if she didn't look like Zhan Mingyue anymore.

"Prince, Master Zhong."

Yueying stood up, greeted him, and then sat down again.

Sun Yinwu stared at Yueying for a long time. Seeing that Sheng Shize looked unhappy, Zhong Tianyang quickly patted his thigh and interrupted his attention with other things.

The girl ate her meal without saying a word, but she carefully peeled the shrimp shells and fed the shrimp meat to Sheng Shize, who ate it with a smile, picked up his handkerchief and wiped the oily fingertips of the other.

Yueying had a small temper tantrum with Sheng Shize today, which directly exposed the fact that the two of them had only discussed cooperation at the beginning.

It seems like the little emotions that a man and a woman in a free love relationship have before talking about marriage, natural and real.

But these two people were particularly glaring in Sun Yinwu's eyes.

Ever since the flower banquet, Zhan Yanran seemed to be deliberately avoiding Yueying and she hadn't been seen for several days.

That day, Yueying went to Luzhufuyi to see An Yi, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw her fiddling with flowers and plants.

While Zhan Yanran was not paying attention, Yueying took a detour from the edge to the back hall.

"Does Zhan Yanran come here often?"

"The wife of the Marquis of Pingning often comes to pick bonsai. Miss Zhan is probably waiting for her."

"Did she ever buy flowers and plants when she came?"

"When the Marquis's wife comes, she will buy one or two pots."

Yueying's lips curled slightly.

"No, you can't use my venue to climb up the social ladder without paying the full venue fee."

"What the leader means is..."

"Next time the Marquis's wife comes, you should..."

It is understandable that the wife of the Marquis's mansion looks down on Zhan Yanran.

At the flower banquet that day, the poem that Zhan Yanran wrote for the second time was shit, her calligraphy was just okay, she couldn't even dance to the right tune, and her piano skills were only okay. But when she returned to the mansion and asked around, she found out that she only knew that one song.

Compared to Zhan Mingyue who once won the championship at the flower banquet, her cousin Zhan Yanran was simply beaten into the mud.

Not to mention, it is rumored that Zhan Mingyue is gentle and lovely, and look at Zhan Yanran's noisy personality.

Comparing with others, Yueying couldn't help but shake her head. How could a person with almost nothing worth mentioning be noticed by the powerful families?

"Alliance leader, the wife of the Marquis is here, and she is following the prince today."

"What a coincidence? Then go quickly and do as I say."

An Yi walked in front of Zhan Yanran with a smile, just blocking her way to approach the wife of the Marquis.

"Miss Zhan, you know that the flowers and plants in my house are precious and difficult to cultivate. You touch them every day but don't buy anything. It's very difficult for us as employees."

"What nonsense are you talking about? When did I stop buying it?"

"So do you want to buy the two bonsais whose leaves you just plucked off?"

Zhan Yanran saw that she was indeed bored just now and was talking to her little sister over there, so she subconsciously plucked a few leaves.

"It's just a few fallen leaves. Why are you forcing me to buy it?"

"Miss Zhan, you come here often, and I thought you were knowledgeable. The leaves and the small buds on the branches were pulled off together, and the shape of the bonsai has changed."

The Marquis's wife was not very fond of her on weekdays, and Zhan Yanran wanted to take advantage of her hobbies to strike up a conversation with her.

When she heard the guy say that he didn't know what he was doing, she subconsciously defended herself.

"Who said I don't know? I just think this is the best way. How much is it? Send these two pots to Zhanfu."

The wife of the Marquis's mansion loves bonsai, so naturally she goes to an expensive place. Zhan Yanran wants to curry favor with her, so she stays in a high-priced area.

"Okay, Miss Zhan, these two pots cost a total of 520 taels. Please check the bill."

"what?!"

When Zhan Yanran heard the price, she couldn't help but raise her voice, then realized that she had lost her composure.

Out of the corner of his eye he saw the Madam and the Prince coming over here and he could only force a smile.

"Send it to the Zhan Mansion and ask the butler to settle the bill."

She gritted her teeth and said it out loud. This cost her nearly two years' salary.

Yueying was laughing secretly behind the screen between the back hall and the shop. She had checked the salary of her cousin Zhan Weizhong, and it was only more than 180 taels a year. The main income came from rent and shop business, which was about 1,000 taels.

This economic situation is simply not enough to support the monthly salary of twenty or thirty taels for the ladies, young masters, and young ladies in the family.

The prices in this small world are basically the same as those in the ancient world.

A poor family has a living cost of 10 taels per year. A family that has meat to eat and can occasionally go to a restaurant to improve its meals has a living cost of 20 to 30 taels per year.

"Master, I didn't dare to ask for more. After all, your price tag is still hanging."

"It doesn't matter. Five hundred taels will do."

Yueying actually has no concept of money anymore. After all, the tasks she performs are all about playing supporting female characters who are rich, pretty and intelligent, and she is forced to play with unreasonable and intelligent plots.

She herself accidentally came into possession of a powerful space. To exaggerate a little, the things in the space are now enough for her to rule a superpower.

Now she basically earns whatever money she can, and then exchanges it into gold and silver and puts it into the space. After all, gold and silver are universal currencies, whether in ancient times or modern times.

"An Yi, do you think she will come to our place again in the future?"

"Alliance leader, An Shi reported that the Zhan family originally did not intend to pay, but he followed your instructions and said that the bonsai was bought in front of the wife of the Marquis and the prince. They can testify, so the butler went to the accounting office to pay the money."

Originally, Yueying thought that the Yan family was murdered because they took in Jing Yixiu, and that it was an accidental injury. She had no intention of taking revenge.

Now it seems that it was clearly Zhan Mingyue who did it. How could Yueying allow her to enjoy peace and happiness in the palace?

Zhan Yanran has a good relationship with Zhan Mingyue now, simply because the former feels that Concubine Yue and the Crown Prince are not destined to be together, and the latter knows very well that the Marquis's Mansion will not be interested in Zhan Yanran.

What kind of chemical reaction would occur if Zhan Yanran knew that the eldest cousin she depended on still controlled the prince's marriage, and Zhan Mingyue found out that her brainless cousin was engaged to a mansion by the Marquis?

Yueying returned to the Zhan Mansion and as soon as she entered the inner house, she saw Zhan Yanran being punished to kneel in the yard.

"Cousin, what's going on?"

"Just take care of yourself and don't meddle in other people's business."

After not seeing each other for many days, Zhan Yanran still looked superior, but Yueying didn't care. She was willing to pay attention to this brainless young lady, but she had a purpose.

"I just heard that my cousin seems to have bought two bonsai of Green Bamboo Brushing Clothes. I want to discuss with you the experience of pruning bonsai."

Yueying took out a booklet from her sleeve, rolled it up and tapped it in her hand. Her face was full of regret, and she sighed and prepared to leave.

"What are you holding?"

She had just taken two steps when Zhan Yanran called her.

Yueying turned her back, pursed her lips and hid the smile on her face. When she turned back, she still frowned slightly, with a bit of sadness.

"I want to learn how to prune potted plants, so I asked someone to find this booklet from an experienced nanny."

She walked back two steps, squatted down, and handed the booklet to Zhan Yanran.

"After all, the engagement has been finalized, so I have to catch up on what I need to learn, cousin, don't you think?"

Yueying was talking about herself, but Zhan Yanran listened to her.

"Then I will study with my cousin. We can discuss with each other if we don't understand something."

"That's what I wanted to do, so I came to see my cousin. I've already read part of it today, so why don't I leave the booklet here with you and you can read it later."

"Okay, thank you cousin."

The sun rose from the west. In the absence of any elders around, this was the first time that Zhan Yanran was so polite to Yueying.

Yueying's eyes were sparkling and she smiled sweetly. She pulled over Zhan Yanran's hanging hand and responded softly.

"Cousin, why are you so polite? Since we are sisters, we should help each other."

"Do you really think so?"

"I know that ever since I came to the capital, my cousin Yanran has been testing whether I can be a close friend to her. After all, we don't have a friendship that started when we were young. After spending so many days together, my cousin should naturally know me better now."

Yueying's sincere eyes made Zhan Yanran somewhat moved.

Before, because of the prince, she not only pretended to obey and found all kinds of excuses not to bring Yueying to meet the sisters in the Beijing circle, but also deliberately tried to embarrass her several times.

If you say Yan Yueying is stupid, her behavior at the banquet is not something a bumpkin would do. On the contrary, the other party knows that she knows that she is not easy to mess with, so she keeps giving in and showing goodwill to herself.

After figuring out the reason, although Zhan Yanran still maintained an arrogant attitude, she had already included Yueying in the group of people she could use.

"Okay, you go back, and tomorrow we'll study together the book on how to prune bonsai."

"it is good."

Yueying left with a smile, and everything had just begun.

I have to sigh that the hormones produced by love can sometimes make people more motivated than any coercion or inducement.

It was dawn the next day and Yueying was still asleep. Zhan Yanran, who always got up late, came and knocked on her bedroom door.

"Cousin Yanran, there's no need to do it so early. Learning should focus on efficiency rather than time."

"What efficiency?"

"It's just... focus on your studies and think more."

"Is there anything else you need to say?"

"Yes, yes, our cousin Yanran knows everything. How about we study the booklet today and invite Madam to come to our house to give lessons tomorrow?"

"Okay, I'll go talk to my grandmother first."

After sending Zhan Yanran away, Yueying took another nap before slowly coming to the old lady's yard.

"Ying'er, come to grandma quickly."

"grandmother."

"Yanran told me that your father hired an old lady to give you lessons, right?"

This is what Zhan Yanran said to the old lady. She was smart and concealed her true thoughts.

"Replying to Grandmother..."

"Grandfather, there is an imperial edict arriving at the mansion."

Just as Yueying was about to introduce the nanny's qualifications, a servant came to deliver the imperial edict.

The old lady smiled and took her hand, and walked out with an elegant demeanor despite her age.

"Our daughter from the Zhan family is the best wherever she goes."

Yueying was stunned at first, then she realized that the old lady was Yue Fei's biological grandmother. Even if Zhan Yanran didn't want to tell the elders at home that she was in the limelight, Zhan Mingyue would pass on the situation to the Zhan family.
