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

There was no need for the system to explain anymore, Li Qingyi also knew who Qianniang's father was. Who else could it be other than the eldest son of the Liao family?

However, before the system continued, Li Qingyi noticed a person who was almost ignored.

No, where is the second son of the Liao family?

Li Qingyi thought so and asked this question.

System: [The second son of the Liao family... maybe the eldest son of the Liao family took away the gene of "honesty", or maybe the second son of the Liao family is smarter than the eldest son of the Liao family's wife. Anyway, after the second son of the Liao family and his family were cheated by the third son of the Liao family twice, they simply cut off their relationship with the third son of the Liao family.]

[The second son of the Liao family used his wife's family connections to completely break away from the third son of the Liao family. After failing to persuade the eldest son of the Liao family, the whole family moved away ten years ago. Over the years, they only occasionally sent back some news, but they never came back.]

Li Qingyi: [The second son of the Liao family is quite sober. ]

System: [Well, it was his wife who threatened to die, saying that either he had to break up with the third son of the Liao family, or she would take the child away, or the whole family would die together.]

System: [She really had the guts to do it. She almost cut a big gash in the neck. The blood spurted out and really scared the second son of the Liao family. In addition, they had a son who looked quite smart and had the potential to be a good student. The second son of the Liao family didn't think he was the eldest brother like the eldest son did.]

System: [How should I put it? Fortunately, the second son of the Liao family ran away quickly. At that time, the third son of the Liao family was thinking that the second son of the Liao family was not as "generous" as the eldest son of the Liao family, and it was because of the son of the second son of the Liao family, so he wanted to take action.]

Li Qingyi: [… scumbag. ]

The system affirms: [Yes, it’s a scumbag. ]

Hearing this, the others nodded in their hearts: That's right, most people would not be like the third son of the Liao family, who would even attack his own nephew.

System: [Speaking of Qianniang, Qianniang risked her life to stay here this time, but in fact, it was just a gamble on luck. She was really forced into no choice. ]

System: [Wuniang was forced to do so at the time, but because of some of Daning's laws, if she was really willing to give it a try, there were other ways out.]

System: [But Wu Niang agreed to this just for Qian Niang. Before entering Huang Humen, Wu Niang forced the eldest brother of the Liao family to find a scholar as a husband for Qian Niang. Although Wu Niang couldn't be sure whether this scholar was a good man because of the rush, it was better than staying in the Liao family and being sold by her own father at any time.]

Li Qingyi suddenly asked: [Where is their mother? ]

The system froze for a moment before saying, "Hey, if you hadn't told me I wouldn't have noticed. I just took a look and found that Wu Niang and Qian Niang's mother...didn't do anything during the whole process."

Li Qingyi: [……]

This left her silent.

System: [But this situation is also very common. ]

Li Qingyi was silent for a while before slowly saying: [You are right.]

It is indeed very common, but in this kind of "widowed family" she usually sees the father disappear, but she didn't expect that here it was the mother who disappeared.

But think about it, modern widowhood is because many men throw the troubles to the other party; and the situation of the Liao family... there are factors in this regard, but Li Qingyi guessed that it was probably because the lady had little say in the family.

If it was the same as what happened to the second son of the Liao family, the situation might be very different.

System: [Qiniang also got married the year after Wuiang got married. Although the scholar's mother felt that her son could marry someone better, she was not a vicious person. At least she was much better than the evil mothers-in-law in some mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dramas.]

System: [After getting married, Qianniang lived the life of an ordinary woman. In addition, Xiucai's family also had some property. Her life was definitely better than others, but not better than her life in the Liao family before getting married.]

System: [Wu Niang was good-looking, so she was quite favored at first, and she and Huang Hu had a period of time when they were in love... Well, at least Huang Hu thought so. I'm not sure about Wu Niang. After she entered Huang Hu's house, she basically didn't confide in anyone.]

Li Qingyi thought, is there any need to say this? If he was really happy, or if he was talking relatively easily, he would be able to say some of his true feelings.

There is nothing to say but that Wu Niang's life in the Huang family was quite depressing.

The system continued: [But Huang Hu is a man who loves the new and dislikes the old. It can be seen from the many women in his backyard that Wu Niang soon fell out of favor. Fortunately, not long after Wu Niang fell out of favor, she was diagnosed with pregnancy. Huang Hu doesn't care about women, but he still cares about his offspring. ]

System: [Since Wu Niang was pregnant, she had a quiet and good time. ]

System: [But not long after Wu Niang's daughter was born, Huang Hu got drunk and was sent to Wu Niang by other concubines in the mansion.]

System: [As I told you before, Huang Hu... well, in the end, Wu Niang was beaten to death by Huang Hu in order to protect her frightened daughter.]

Li Qingyi buried himself in the emperor's arms and took a deep breath.

The emperor clearly noticed his daughter's emotional changes and felt a little distressed. He opened his mouth to ask the system to stop talking.

This was not a pleasant thing. Even as an outsider, even as a man, he felt unhappy when he heard this, not to mention the little girl who was more soft-hearted than others.

The system had similar thoughts. After a few seconds of silence, it asked: [Host, how about we skip this part, or talk about it next time? ]

Li Qingyi: [No, go on.]

System: [But host, your mood seems to be very low...]

Li Qingyi: [It's okay, I'm fine. I have to know how far Huang Hu has gone so that I can know how to avenge the victims.]

Well, he just said he wanted revenge.

Upon hearing this, the emperor simply put down his pen, no longer bothering to pretend, and personally tried to calm the little girl's emotions.

He didn't say anything, but whether it was the action of patting Li Qingyi or hugging her in his arms, it conveyed a strong sense of comfort.

Although the system hesitated, it always did what Li Qingyi said, so it continued: [Maybe Wu Niang still had some status in Huang Hu's eyes. After Huang Hu accidentally killed Wu Niang while drunk, he was furious and beat those concubines to death. ]

Li Qingyi: ...

Li Qingyi felt that his low blood pressure was completely cured.

The system sped up its speech: [Then Huang Hu was upset about Wu Niang's death... er, I'm not sure if it's true or not. Anyway, he was depressed for a while after Wu Niang's death. One day, he ran into Qian Niang on the street. Then he wanted to snatch Qian Niang back, but Qian Niang had a family.]

System: [Huang Hu wanted Qianniang's husband to divorce Qianniang, but was rejected, so Huang Hu had Qianniang's husband killed.]

System: [Her husband died, but Qianniang had no intention of remarrying. She told her mother-in-law that she was willing to remain a widow for the sake of her children.]

System: [And then the child is gone. ]

System: [In the end, the mother-in-law who depended on Qianniang for everything is gone. ]

Li Qingyi: ...
