All the members are good people, only the host is a pervert

Lin Ruan's carriage bumped along the official road, and the wheels made a creaking sound as they rolled over the muddy road after the rain.

She lifted a corner of the curtain, looked at the mist swirling among the mountains in the distance, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"The third wave." She whispered to herself, tapping the window frame with her fingers.

Outside the carriage, the accompanying guards were cleaning up the battlefield. Several corpses were lying on the ground, and blood had seeped into the soil, staining it dark red.

The personal maid Zhezhi handed over a cup of hot tea and whispered, "My Lady, have a drink to calm your nerves. The security here is so poor that they dare to rob people in broad daylight."

Lin Ruan took the teacup, feeling the warmth of the porcelain with her fingertips, and smiled even more deeply: "Yes, it's really surprising."

She took a sip of tea, the fragrance spreading between her lips and teeth. "I wonder what surprises will be waiting for us next."

As expected, on the third day after boarding the ferry, a guard came over with a serious face and reported: "Daughter, a suspicious boat has been spotted ahead. It's suspected to be pirates, and they're heading towards us."

Lin Ruan lowered the tea curtain and leaned back on the cushion, a hint of sarcasm flashing in her eyes: "Looks like I have to go to bed late again today."

She turned to Zhezhi and ordered, "Go tell the lady to stay in the carriage and not come out, so as not to be frightened."

Zhezhi took the order and left, while Lin Ruan took out a jade token from his sleeve and stroked the delicate patterns on it with his fingertips.

This was given to her by the system before she left. With it, no matter how much money the system made, Lin Ruan could withdraw it from the business.

"I wonder how that guy is doing in Jinling." Lin Ruan couldn't help but smile when he thought of the system's excitement in experiencing human life.

When Lin Ruan returned to Beijing, the system stayed in Jinling, so it could communicate directly with Lin Ruan's consciousness. Its anthropomorphic skin would change upon entering the world, becoming indistinguishable from a real person, with body temperature, a heartbeat, and the ability to feel thirsty and hungry.

It was my first time to truly experience life as a human being, and it was so new and exciting.

Lin Ruan also needs the system to help her take care of her business in Jinling.

People think it's easy to make money from men, through eyebrow powder, rouge, and fine clothes. But they don't know that the real money comes from women.

Eating, drinking, gambling, whoring, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and other sensual pleasures.

The sound of river water hitting the hull was heard.

"Here it comes." she whispered.

Suddenly, shouts and cries of killing rang out, and arrows flew through the air, nailing the wooden frame of the window.

Ling Xiao, the maidservant beside Lin Ruan, calmly pulled out a dagger from under the seat. The sword glowed coldly in the dim carriage.

"Don't worry," Lin Ruan said calmly as she drank her tea. "Those guards were given to me by my cousin, the princess. They're not so useless that they'd let those people really break into the room."

The emperor wanted to kill her, but it was only to vent his anger. To say that he was afraid of a last-place scholar like her was simply ridiculous.

She is just old, not stupid.

As expected, about a quarter of an hour later, calm returned outside. Zhezhi lifted the car curtain, his face pale. "My Lady, everything is settled."

Lin Ruan nodded and glanced at the several corpses floating on the river.

"Okay, let's keep going. The mountains are high and the waters are long. Who knows how many more waves of bandits there will be."

Lin Ruan ordered.

The river was rippling, and Xu Jinshu placed his hand on his lower abdomen, his face pale.

He had been with Lin Ruan in Jinling for a year, but Lin Ruan hadn't shown any signs of restraint and continued to sleep with other women. He hadn't been able to conceive a child as he had hoped, and instead, Lin Ruan had figured out his thoughts completely.

The rules of the Duke's Mansion were strict, and a husband would be divorced after three years of childlessness. But even if he wasn't divorced, thinking of the Duke's wife, whom he was reluctant to discipline and who had placed her hopes on him, how could the tortures of the inner chambers be so easy?

as predicted.

After the family dinner, Lin Ruan couldn't wait to leave the house and go to Nanfeng Pavilion, while Xu Jinshu was called over by the Duke's wife and knelt in the ancestral hall picking Buddha beans all night.

"Do you know how to write the word virtuous?"

The Duke's wife's voice seemed to still echo in her ears, "My son spends all day wandering around in brothels. As his legal husband, don't you have any responsibility at all?"

Xu Jinshu bit his lower lip tightly until he tasted blood.

What can he do?

Under the dim light, Xu Jinshu put the selected beans one by one into the porcelain bowl in front of him.

My mood gradually calmed down.

Everything has its cause and effect.

It was he who chose to marry into this family, hoping to escape the fate of his previous life.

All causes and effects are actually your own choices.

He suffered.

Xu Jinshu thought: It doesn’t matter, he will have children one day, and then he will kill them all.

The news that Lin Ruan went to Nanfeng Pavilion to look for the courtesan as soon as he returned to the capital spread throughout the capital overnight.

Everyone said that Lin Ruan was loyal, but the courtesan was unlucky and died of illness more than a month after the princess went to Jinling.

When Xu Jinshu limped back to the room the next day with the help of a servant, Lin Ruan was still asleep.

The servant whispered about what happened last night, saying, "The princess is still sad. Madam, you must comfort her later."

Xu Jinshu thought to himself, why are you pretending? You already knew that person was gone when you were in Jinling, and now you are putting on such a show after returning to the capital.

But he smiled dignifiedly and generously, saying, "Of course."

For Xu Jinshu, the biggest benefit of Lin Ruan's performance was that, except for being called into the palace once by the emperor, she did not go out to fool around before the imperial examination!

As long as Lin Ruan was willing to restrain herself, his life would be much easier. Faced with the generous rewards sent by the old lady and the Duke's wife every few days, Xu Jinshu even felt that as long as Lin Ruan was willing to restrain herself a little, he would be willing to let her live to old age.

With Xu Jinshu's sincere hope, Lin Ruan packed up his things and went to the examination hall to take part in the imperial examination.

After the nine-day examination, Lin Ruan fell ill upon returning to the Duke's Mansion.

The patient had a high fever and was unconscious. Several groups of doctors came but were helpless.

Xu Jinshu sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Lin's pale face, feeling mixed emotions.

Logically, he should be happy that the woman who tortured him finally got her comeuppance.

But reason told him that if Lin Ruan really died, his situation in the Duke's Mansion would only get worse.

"Madam, the medicine is ready." Zhu'er came in with a bowl of medicine.

Xu Jinshu took it and fed it to Lin Ruan himself. The medicine flowed down the corner of her mouth, and he gently wiped it with a handkerchief, his movements so gentle that even he felt unfamiliar.

In a trance, he seemed to see Lin Ruan's eyelashes tremble, but when he looked closely, there was no movement.

Lin Ruan's health did not improve until the results were announced.

He had no idea what a sensation he had caused in the capital.

At the same time, in the imperial study of the palace, the emperor threw the teacup in his hand to the ground.

"Trash! A bunch of trash!"

He was furious. "Isn't she said to be a playboy and a complete idiot? How could she be the top scorer?!"

The leader of the secret guards knelt on the ground and trembled, "Your Majesty, please forgive me! I saw it with my own eyes. When Lady Lin was in Jinling, she was reveling almost every night..."

The emperor took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He felt a little relieved when he heard that Lin Ruan was now bedridden.

"Tell Doctor Xu to examine the princess carefully. The palace examination is coming soon. She must be well before the exam. This is the only child in the Duke's Mansion. Don't let the Queen Mother and the Empress worry."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The emperor walked to the window and looked in the direction of the Duke's Mansion with murderous intent in his eyes.

He originally thought that Lin Ruan was just a useless playboy and not worth worrying about. But now it seems that this little fox is hiding much deeper than he imagined.

Thinking of this, the emperor felt extremely suffocated in his chest again.

"Asshole!" The emperor angrily swung his sleeves and shouted, "Where are the spies watching her? Execute them all! A bunch of useless people!"

Just when Xu Jinshu thought that Lin Ruan was in great danger this time, the day of the results announcement arrived.

Early in the morning, the sound of gongs and drums announcing the good news was heard outside the Duke's Mansion.

"Congratulations to the World Girls' High School Champion!"

This cry was like thunder exploding over the Duke's Mansion. The old lady fainted on the spot, followed by the Duke's wife, and the mansion was in chaos.

Xu Jinshu stood in the courtyard, listening to the cheers outside that were getting louder and louder, and felt it was ridiculous.

How could Lin Ruan, who spent his days in debauchery, be the champion?

He walked quickly towards Lin Ruan's bedroom, pushed the door open, and saw the person who should have been unconscious sitting on the bed, drinking porridge slowly.

"Daughter?" Xu Jinshu was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Lin Ruan looked up at him, a sharp light flashing in her eyes that Xu Jinshu had never seen before: "Why, are you surprised?"

At this moment, Lin Ruan was looking at Xu Jinshu, who had a complicated expression on his face, and chuckled, "Why, aren't you happy for your wife?"

Xu Jinshu forced a smile: "As a servant... naturally I am happy for my mistress."

Lin Ruan reached out and caressed his cheek, her voice as gentle as a lover's whisper: "That's good. Now I am seriously ill and still recovering. My mother, father, and grandfather have fainted from the shock of great joy and great sorrow. The burden of the entire Duke's Mansion falls on you alone."

Her fingers suddenly exerted force, "You must take on the responsibility of being the Lady of the World for me."
