The little princess' mind was read, and the court and harem were eating melons

But it is a pity that such an interesting person was born in the Yang family.

Li Qingyi could actually hear that when the system was talking about Yang Lian, it had some favorable feelings towards the member of the Yang family whom she had never met.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a detailed description of a person who is not the protagonist in Yang Yiyi’s melon.

The system then said: [Yang Lian treated his concubine like this, and he treated everyone else like this. Almost everyone in the Yang family has been angered by Yang Lian, except for the people in the seventh room.]

System: [If the host is interested, the system recommends that the host can wait until the balance is sufficient to purchase the Yang family's series of melons. The system will help you select the melons that Yang Lian participated in. ]

As for why we have to wait until the balance is sufficient... Well, remember that Li Qingyi just spent 800 merits to upgrade the team chat channel not long ago?

Now that his account balance has returned to three digits, Li Qingyi has become stingy again.

But this time is different from when the system was first started. Because of the task, Li Qingyi is still motivated to buy melons, instead of being like in the beginning, saving as much as possible and not eating a melon for ten days or half a month.

Li Qingyi: [Okay, now let’s talk about Yang Yiyi? ]

System: [Well, the host should have a general impression of Yang Lian's style of doing things, and Yang Yiyi, as Yang Lian's daughter, has inherited his true teachings.]

System: [It seems that the other members of the Yang family are very concerned about their reputation, so no matter what they do in private, they must maintain their dignity in public. It is also because of this that Yang Lian's style of doing things is sometimes very effective.]

This is also why the Yang family was so angry about Yang Lian, a bastard who was clearly not valued by Yang Jianrang.

System: [Yang Yiyi doesn't have a very good relationship with the other sisters of the Yang family. The system has recorded 138 cases of other sisters of the Yang family plotting against Yang Yiyi with obvious malicious intent, ranging from the eldest concubine's daughter deliberately plotting to make Yang Yiyi fall into the water in order to please the eldest daughter, to the small matter of scolding her for drinking an extra cup of tea at a family dinner. It feels like the Yang family's backyard is much more lively than the palace.]

Li Qingyi: […It sounds very unlucky.]

System: [Yes. 】

System: [This time, Yang Yiyi’s scandal was caused by the eldest daughter of the eldest house who got married and plotted against Yang Yiyi.]

System: [The eldest daughter of the Yang family is called Yang Minyi. She is 21 years old this year. She married one of Yang Jianrang's students and now works in a local government with her husband. What a coincidence that she works in the place where Yang Jianrang now claims to be for retirement. She is considered the highest official in the civil service there. I think the host can guess the twists and turns here without me having to explain more.]

Li Qingyi nodded slightly to show that he understood.

The system continued: [Yang Jianrang had a serious tendency to favor boys over girls. Although he did not show it very obviously when he was in the officialdom, before he retired, Yang Jianrang would deliberately suppress female officials in private, regardless of their status.]

System: [So the Yang family followed his attitude and educated their girls according to the principle that "women's virtue lies in their lack of talent." However, this sentence was obviously misinterpreted. When Yang Jian explained this sentence to others before, it was obvious that he knew what it meant, but for the women in his family...]

Li Qingyi sneered: "Ha."

Qinglian had been standing quietly in the corner, like a transparent person, with his eyes lowered looking at the shoes, motionless, like a stone statue, as if he heard nothing.

System: [Well, I knew that you, the host, would be unhappy after hearing this. This is the premise. Based on this, the Yang family’s education of Yang Minyi is relatively strict and old-fashioned.]

System: [So, Yang Minyi was brainwashed. But what she was brainwashed about was not "women should be gentle and virtuous, not complaining or jealous", but "obey your father at home, obey your husband after marriage, and obey your son after your husband's death." In other words, Yang Minyi would regard all the men in the family as more important than herself and other women, and suppress and exclude all women who offended the male members of the family. ]

System: [Coincidentally, Yang Yiyi's style of doing things easily became a thorn in Yang Minyi's side. At first, Yang Minyi wanted to "set things right" for Yang Yiyi, and she thought she was kind-hearted, but after a few conflicts, they became enemies.]

[What's more, Yang Minyi is narrow-minded and holds grudges. ]

[When she was three years old, the maid who took care of her accidentally pulled a strand of her hair. When she was thirteen, she could still remember it. She found an excuse to beat the maid half to death, and even pretended to be "kind" by marrying the seriously injured maid to a widower, saying that it was the maid's own choice. She was forced to do so, and reluctantly agreed for the sake of the relationship between master and servant.]

Li Qingyi understood: [So, even if she is married, Yang Minyi will not let Yang Yiyi go if she finds a chance.]

System: [Yes. Yang Yiyi is about to reach the age of marriage. So, Yang Minyi's plan came into being.]

System: [Yang Minyi had people asking around last year, and this year when she heard that Yang Yiyi was going to discuss marriage, she started to make plans. She was well prepared, and had three candidates for Yang Yiyi. One of them was a local young man who looked handsome and had a good family background, but in fact, he was a serious adulterer and had no feelings for women at all.]

System: [This person was chosen because Yang Minyi felt that if Yang Yiyi married into this family, she wouldn't have to do anything. After a few years, Yang Yiyi would be childless and not be accepted by anyone. It's obvious that her life wouldn't be easy.]

System: [The second candidate is a scholar with a good reputation. He is only 19 years old this year. It is rare for a young man to pass the imperial examination at this age. He has a promising future. Host, do you want to guess what is wrong with this person? ]

Li Qingyi thought for a while and asked: [Do you have a first wife? ]

Similar situations are very common in novels, stories, dramas and reality.

System: [Hey, no. ]

Li Qingyi: […From what you said, I know it won’t be the same situation as before. Hmm, could it be that he has someone in his heart, such as a beloved cousin, childhood sweetheart, etc., but the status of the beloved is not high enough, so the scholar temporarily marries a noblewoman in order to curry favor with the powerful, and once he gains power, he will demote his wife to a concubine…]

System: [Wait wait wait, host, that's not the case. First of all, the Daning law does not allow the operation of demoting a wife to a concubine. ]

Li Qingyi smiled: [I know, I was just teasing you.]

Li Qingyi: [Just tell me directly. I can’t guess it right away. ]

System: [Yang Minyi is really poisonous! This scholar has syphilis! ]
