Quick Wear: I'm Really Not a Scumbag
Chapter 42: The "Bad Man" in the Imperial Examination (21)
"Sir, the wind is blowing, you'd better put on your cloak."
A "beauty" with delicate features and outstanding temperament was lying on the beauty couch by the window, playing chess quietly. This person was none other than the prime minister's youngest son, Cui Lingxue, who was also the nominal successor of the Cui family.
"No need." This little bit of cold was nothing to worry about, and his body was much better now.
"How is it, do you have any clues?" Cui Lingxue did not look up, but just held the chess piece without moving, as if thinking about where to make the next move.
"Sir, we have a clue. We have caught the killer that Madam Chen was looking for. They were the ones who killed the people we sent to protect Miss Jiang."
Cui Lingxue put down the chess piece in her hand and said, "Take it to pay tribute to the dead maids."
"Yes."
"Find Jiang Yihuan."
"Yes."
This memorial service was certainly not a "memorial service" in the ordinary sense. These slaves were quite happy. At least their deaths for the young master were not in vain. The young master would not only give them a generous funeral allowance, but would also help them take revenge if there was a suitable opportunity.
But staying with Miss Jiang was no easy feat. Ever since the young master and the Jiang family's concubine had met, they had sent numerous skilled maids to protect her, but none had survived more than a year. All of them had died, but Miss Jiang was always lucky, always being saved by someone. So, this time, they all assumed she had been rescued by someone.
"Do you think she is still alive this time?" Cui Lingxue took a sip of tea.
The attendant beside her quickly reacted, "Since Miss Jiang is willing to jump off the cliff by herself, she must have made her own decision."
Your own decision?
This statement left Cui Lingxue with no way to refute it. He had always held a curious feeling towards Jiang Yihuan. Was this love? He had never liked anyone before, and didn't know what love was, but this feeling was like the first time he saw a raccoon he had never seen before as a child. It was very novel.
It was a raccoon with long fur and heterochromia eyes, and he loved it. Although he had seen many raccoons before, even rarer species like tigers and leopards he had only seen in the hunting grounds, he had originally wanted to let it die of old age, but it happened to be a "sick cat" like him. He had medicine to save his life, but it didn't.
"Are you going to the Wang family's banquet tomorrow? I heard they've invited many new nobles to the court. It looks like it should be quite interesting. The weather tomorrow is also very nice."
Cui Lingxue didn't answer him directly, "Is Chen Xuyan going?"
"Several young masters of the Chen family will go. After all, Madam Chen is a relative of the Wang family."
"Then go." Although he didn't like to join in the fun, and there would naturally be other people from the Cui family going, but when he inexplicably knew that Chen Xuyan was going, he also wanted to go.
Lately, for some reason, his son had suddenly become quite interested in the eldest son of the Chen family. As long as the weather was favorable, he would attend any party he attended. Although curious, the two of them didn't exchange much conversation, just greeting each other and sitting closer together.
Ever since Jiang Yihuan learned that he was actually "dead", he has been so angry that he can't eat.
When I disappeared, instead of sending anyone to look for me, they just announced the funeral in a low-key manner. Now I am actually dead, and things have become even more difficult. Do I have to accept that I have no name now?
How to break the deadlock?
"What should we do now? Staying here is not a solution." Jiang Yihuan couldn't help but become anxious.
"Go find Cui Lingxue. With his identity and status, he will have a way to help you 'survive'. Maybe you will have a better life." Mingming showed her many rebirth scripts, but she still didn't know how to improve. She read them with gusto.
Jiang Yihuan was a little hesitant. Cui Lingxue was not someone who was easy to fool, and it would definitely take a lot of effort, but this was indeed the best way at the moment.
"Even if I can be "resurrected" when I go back, my reputation will be damaged. I don't care about the marriages of the remaining sisters, but my father will definitely work with my stepmother to send me to be a nun. I really don't want to let Jiang Yili get away with it, so as not to affect her." Jiang Yihuan still felt a little regretful that he didn't harm Jiang Yili.
Cui Lingxue is weak and sickly. If she had medicine to improve her physical condition, perhaps the other party would choose to help her directly.
"System, do you have any medicine that can improve physical fitness, especially those that can help improve the poor physical condition caused by congenital weakness." Jiang Yihuan wanted to make a deal with Cui Lingxue.
If the system had eyes, it would have flashed a gleam of light at this moment. "Of course, you can upgrade a detoxification pill to have such an effect, but it will cost you Luck Points."
Jiang Yihuan gritted her teeth and agreed. After all, she could still gain more Luck Points. She would be able to capture Chen Xusheng soon, and then she would have enough Luck Points. "Okay, but I only need to upgrade one."
Wow, it seems you have become smarter and know what you want to do.
"The detoxification pill is being upgraded..."
"Upgrade completed. Item obtained, the Strengthening Pill, has been placed in the backpack."
Jiang Yihuan glanced at her backpack and saw it was there. She wasn't completely convinced by the system anymore. Although it possessed strength beyond her imagination, she had discovered over the years she'd been interacting with it that she'd been exchanging items according to its pre-programmed patterns.
In fact, many things that do not require so much luck points can also solve the problem, but the other party will lure you into buying things that require more luck points, and sometimes they will play word games with you. For example, this time, if you didn’t react in time, I’m afraid it would have directly upgraded both detoxification pills.
But she really had to rely on it. Without it, she wouldn't have been so successful, and she might even have had to take many detours. But if someone was plotting against her, she definitely wouldn't agree.
So now, for every thing she is asked to do, she must know the cause and effect, and will no longer blindly obey.
"Lu Xingyi has reached the point where he can no longer delay. Are you sure you don't want to use the detoxification pill? You don't have to conquer all of the Children of Fortune. Among them, Xie Baiyu is the most important. If you are willing to give up on conquering Su Xiu, then you can also give up this detoxification pill, so that Lu Xingyi doesn't have to have his left arm amputated."
At this time, the system was still trying to instigate her. Don't think that she couldn't feel its ill will towards her. She had no interest in this boring game of choice at all.
Jiang Yihuan's eyes were filled with indifference, and he spoke with every word, "Whether he lives or dies has nothing to do with me. That's his fate. He got hurt because he was distracted. Is this my fault?"
"We signed a contract as equals. You'd better not speculate on my thoughts."
He actually threatened me. What's the point of an equal contract? When I have enough energy, wouldn't it be easy to just attack the host? This idiot, even an equal contract has conditions. He didn't even read it completely, but he still learned to threaten me.
