The villain and the powerful official secretly read the diary and broke my plot every day

"Yan Huan has worked hard today, you should eat more."

As Gu Yanqing spoke, he used the serving chopsticks to pick up a lot of meat for his sister.

Girls look better when they are white and plump.

Yan Huan has lost some weight recently.

Gu Yanhuan, who was standing aside, looked helpless as he watched his brother keep picking up meat for himself.

Her brother seemed to have an unusual obsession with making her fat.

Maybe...

It was because my childhood was too hard.

Gu Yanhuan and Gu Yanqing were seven years apart in age. When she was little, she had a high fever that caused her to lose many memories of the past. She had no recollection of how her parents died. Now she could only vaguely remember that after their death, her brother and she were driven out and lived on the streets, starving to death...

Later... I forgot what happened, but things gradually got better.

By the way, my brother’s old illness seemed to have been contracted at that time, and it still hasn’t been cured.

"Brother, you eat too."

Gu Yanhuan couldn't bear to disappoint her brother, so she ate all the meat and also picked up some side dishes for Gu Yanqing.

"By the way, the weather has warmed up these past few days. Don't forget to order some new clothes and buy some jewelry from Ruolan Tower. If you don't have enough money, you can go to the treasury and withdraw it."

In the past few days, the warehouse of the Gu Mansion has made considerable income.

Gu Yanqing never boasted of being incorruptible. He would steal the money of wealthy businessmen and aristocratic families without blinking an eye.

The last time he intercepted the silver from the Meng family, he only gave half to Emperor Jianping, and he had other uses for the other half.

In this world, you can't get by without money.

Gu Yanqing read Jiang Jiang's diary every day. She often wrote some strange words. There was one sentence that Gu Yanqing found very interesting -

Use magic to defeat magic.

Although, Gu Yanqing didn't know what magic was.

But he always knew that if he wanted to defeat those aristocratic families, he had to be more powerful and richer than those families!

With nothing on your body and clean hands...you cannot defeat those bloodthirsty tigers.

That night.

Gu Yanqing was busy in the study as usual. There were many affairs in the court recently, such as the final placement of those Jinshi, the upcoming spring plowing, and the situation in various places... There were many things that required him, the prime minister, to worry about.

After dealing with the affairs of the court, Gu Yanqing picked up the intelligence from various places sent back by Mu Kang. In the past few years, he has tried to establish his own intelligence network. The entire system is not yet mature. The most important thing is that a lot of silver is needed to pave the way.

silver.

Gu Yanqing thought of the "big business" that Jiang Jiang mentioned. What does her so-called big business have to do with cotton?

Although the yield of cotton is not high, there is a fixed output every year in Sanfeng City in Zhongzhou, which is enough for annual supply. Could it be that there will be natural disasters in Sanfeng City this year that will affect the cotton production?

As Gu Yanqing pondered, he habitually took out the "Geography of Kyoto" and flipped it open. The next moment, Gu Yanqing was stunned, because the snow-white pages of the past had changed greatly, and even a line of large characters appeared on them -

[The diary system has been updated. Do you want to enable paid reading? ]

Gu Yanqing knew every word on the page, but when they were put together, he was a little confused.

What does system update mean?

Why pay to read?

Gu Yanqing stared at the words for a long time, and the line of words magically disappeared. Gu Yanqing had already felt the magic of this book, so he did not seem very surprised.

Then, he lowered his eyes again and saw familiar handwriting slowly emerging on the page that had turned pink.

This is the diary that Jiang Jiang wrote today——

On March 27, the third year of Jianping, there were showers.

[Today was the first heavy rain since the beginning of spring. Luckily, I met Master Yan today, otherwise I would have been soaked like my elder brother. Speaking of Master Yan...]

The diary only has a beginning, and the rest is nowhere to be seen.

Gu Yanqing tried to turn the pages, and another line of large characters appeared on it——

[To subscribe to this chapter's diary, you need ten taels of silver! ]

Ten taels of silver!

Gu Yanqing immediately understood what the so-called "paid reading" meant—

It turns out that he needs to spend money!

This so-called [system] is so outrageous.

Stop watching.

Gu Yanqing was very angry. How dare someone threaten him with just a book!

Gu Yanqing closed the book casually, with a somewhat cold expression on his face.

The candlelight in the room flickered a few times, and Gu Yanqing's breathing became a little rapid, then became steady again.

Just ten taels of silver.

He still looks up to it.

After a moment, Gu Yanqing picked up the book again and opened the page. Then he hesitated again——

How will he pay?

Can this book be worth ten taels of silver?

He was still very curious about this.

There have always been many strange rumors circulating among the people of Qingyun Kingdom, such as man-eating monsters and various monsters that can transform into human form.

What kind of existence is this book...?

Gu Yanqing has never believed in ghosts and gods, but... he still has expectations for this strange book in front of him.

As Gu Yanqing was thinking, he saw a line of large characters appear on the page of the book again -

[Paid reading is successfully enabled, and each deduction will be automatically deducted. ]

Automatic deduction of money?

Gu Yanqing pondered for a moment, not knowing what this so-called "automatic deduction" was all about, but he didn't care. Isn't it just ten taels of silver?

Although he needed money to develop his business, he would not be short of three hundred taels of silver a month.

When he no longer paid attention to the silver, Gu Yanqing's attention returned to the pages of the book, and now he could read the entire diary.

When Gu Yanqing saw Jiang Jiang said that she wanted to support him, she felt a little weird in her heart——

You support me?

Do you know that I am very expensive?

And... just reading your diary costs me ten taels of silver every day.

In fact, Gu Yanqing had also asked Lin Jing to pay special attention to whether there were any strange books around Jiang Jiang, or to observe whether she had the habit of taking notes every day.

Lin Jing's reply was that Jiang Jiang seldom read books and he had never seen her write any notes on weekdays.

So, how does Jiang Jiang write his diary every day?

If I could be with her for twelve hours a day, would I be able to get a glimpse of her?

Gu Yanqing felt that although his idea was feasible, it was a bit unrealistic.

After all, there are differences between men and women, and Jiang Jiang is still a little girl who knows nothing. She can't do anything too far beyond the rules...

Gu Yanqing regained his composure and continued reading Jiang Jiang's diary. Then he decided to retract his previous thoughts.

A little girl who knows nothing?

Ah.

She was still thinking about looking at the man's abdominal muscles...

This little girl doesn't not understand, I think she knows too much!

Gu Yanqing never expected that Jiang Jiang, who was very wary of him, actually coveted his beauty in her heart...

So, his painstakingly planned beauty scheme was successful?

But Gu Yanqing didn't feel any joy.

He frowned and continued to read Jiang Jiang's diary. He was soon attracted by the following content -

A new plow?

what does it look like?

Deep down, this little girl is still thinking about serious matters.
