After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

Xie Xing hesitated for a moment, then said, "Xie Xing is willing."

She was feeling very pleased with herself.

[Perfect, I don't have to deal with the Xie family's awful faces, and I can even take this opportunity to curry favor with Jun Lanjin!]

I was completely overwhelmed by the surprise.

Xie Yuhe's face darkened slightly.

Xie Xing's thoughts came out intermittently, and sometimes he would reveal things that Xie Yuhe didn't know, which made Xie Yuhe very concerned.

Today, Xie Yuhe actually discovered some things.

In recent days, remnants of the previous dynasty have indeed become more active.

Given this trend, it is highly likely that the event Xie Xing mentioned will occur during the autumn hunt.

Xie Yuhe glanced at Xie Mingzhu with a complicated expression.

These past few days have been the most frustrating time for Xie Mingzhu.

She had clearly saved someone, but everyone's attention was not on her. Even her fiancé, whom she looked down upon, took the initiative to show goodwill to Xie Xing in front of her.

She's just a rough, uncouth girl from the countryside, so why is she attracting so much attention?

Even her brothers didn't pay attention to her today.

Xie Mingzhu almost bit her lips raw.

Since Jun Lanjin was so persistent, Xie Yuhe couldn't refuse again.

He paused for a moment, then said, "If Your Highness only invites Xing'er to the manor, it might cause some gossip. Why not bring Mingzhu along as well?"

"how?"

Jun Lanjin reluctantly agreed: "That's fine too."

Xie Xing stared at his hands, which were wrapped up like a dumpling, and sighed inwardly: "How am I supposed to do missions with my hands like this?"

System: [Even if you don't have hands, you still have your mouth.]

[Spending these three days at Jun Lanjin's residence will be a perfect opportunity to discreetly help him avoid some unnecessary plot developments and minimize his suffering.]

[Then you can work on his favorability rating to make him have a better impression of you, right?]

Xie Xing thought about it and felt that what the system said made sense.

However, she still wanted to ask: "System, what direction is this book heading in?"

Xie Xing only vaguely heard the system give him a general idea, and he still didn't know the overall plot development.

Everyone was startled and turned their gaze to the little girl sitting by the bed.

Xie Yuhe and Xie Yuze, in particular, didn't pay any attention to Xie Mingzhu for a moment, focusing their attention on Xie Xing.

When Xie Mingzhu saw this, she felt extremely upset, as if a vat of vinegar had been overturned.

Especially what Xie Yuhe just said, it's as if she's just an accessory to Xie Xing.

So, is it true that adopted daughters are not as good as biological daughters?

Xie Mingzhu stamped her foot and ran out crying.

No one went out to chase after her.

Everyone listened intently to what the system would say next.

What's the plot of the book?

What exactly does that mean?

This book centers on Xie Mingzhu, the female protagonist, and tells the story of her life as a pampered princess of the previous dynasty. Despite being a former princess, she enjoys endless favor and ultimately succeeds in the struggle for the throne, ascending to the throne with the seventh prince. From then on, the two are inseparable for life.

However, apart from the male and female protagonists, the other characters in this book all meet with rather unfortunate ends.

Your older brother became a victim of Xie Mingzhu and Luo Hanfeng's love affair, betrayed and killed in a fire by his pampered younger sister.

As soon as the system finished speaking, Jun Lanjin raised his eyes and glanced at Xie Yuhe.

Xie Yuhe was so engrossed in what the system was saying that he didn't notice Jun Lanjin's gaze.

Upon hearing the news of his death, Xie Yu clenched his fists.

Xie Yuze wanted to say that this rubbish was just bullshit!

This bastard just now instigated Xie Xing to do something stupid. If he hadn't stopped him, Xie Xing would have been convicted of bullying the royal family long ago.

The Seventh Prince is, after all, the Seventh Prince. The Four Kings, being members of the royal family, can naturally bully him, but what is Xie Xing's status?

However, the system's words brought Xie Yuze's anger to an abrupt halt the next second.

[Xie Tongchen was driven by Xie Mingzhu's insistence on going to the battlefield to find Luo Hanfeng. During a battle, Luo Hanfeng was suspected of being captured. Xie Mingzhu disregarded everything to find him. In order to save his sister, Xie Tongchen was captured by the enemy and beheaded, his head hanging on the city wall. At that time, Xie Mingzhu's heart and eyes were completely filled with Luo Hanfeng; she didn't even glance at Xie Tongchen.]

Wha, what?

Xie Yuze's lips trembled. This couldn't be.

How could Mingzhu be such a person?

But seeing how serious Mingzhu was about Luo Hanfeng today, Xie Yuze couldn't help but believe her again.

Jun Lanjin's eyes were already overflowing with sympathy.

I thought he was in a bad situation, but I didn't expect the Xie brothers to be in an even worse situation.

They cherish the ungrateful bastards who will kill them in the future as if they were precious treasures.

Funny, funny.

This was the funniest joke he'd heard all year.

[Your third brother, Xie Yuze, caused the Xie family to choose the wrong side and suffer defeat. Afterwards, Luo Hanfeng confiscated their property on charges of insubordination. Your third brother had previously broken both legs while saving Xie Mingzhu on horseback. After the confiscation of their property, he went to every court official's home seeking help, but no one offered assistance. In the end, he harbored all his hatred towards Xie Mingzhu and attempted to assassinate her, but was instead killed by Xie Mingzhu's guards.]

Xie Xing: "..."

Oh, that's terrible!

You don’t know if you don’t hear it, but you will be shocked when you hear it.

Why is the premise of this "favorite pet" novel so bizarre?

Those who dote on the protagonist often die tragically.

The system's spoilers not only shocked Xie Xing, but also his two brothers.

Xie Tongchen wasn't there, so naturally he didn't hear it.

Xie Yuze was completely dazed.

Only one sentence echoed in his mind: Impossible, this is impossible.

That thing is absolutely lying; it's just trying to mislead people!

Junlan remained indifferent to matters that didn't concern him.

He observed the two brothers discreetly and noticed that their expressions conveyed shock, bewilderment, and disbelief.

He then slowly withdrew his gaze.

So, he's not the only one who can hear what's in someone's heart?

[As for the villain Jun Lanjin...] Just as the system was about to give away more spoilers, Jun Lanjin spoke up: "In that case, from today onwards, Xie Xing shall enter the palace to serve this king."

The spoilers abruptly ended, and Xie Xing looked up at Jun Lanjin with a bewildered expression.

"what?"

She couldn't help but raise her hands, which were wrapped like rice dumplings, and said, "But my hands..."

"It's harmless."

"Come with me." Jun Lanjin didn't want the Xie brothers to know about his affairs.

They were eager to take Xie Xing away.

"Wait!" Seeing that the two were about to leave, Xie Yuhe couldn't help but call out to them.

Jun Lanjin opened his eyes and glanced at Xie Yuhe indifferently: "Does Minister Xie have anything else to say?"

Xie Yuhe looked at Xie Xing with a hesitant expression, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

He opened his mouth, and after a long pause, he uttered a dry sentence: "I must return to the manor in three days."

Xie Xing glanced at him for no apparent reason.

[When did my brother become so concerned about my affairs? Aren't I bothering their family? Didn't he want me to stay away from home as much as possible?]

Xie Yuhe felt a lump in his throat.

He secretly wiped his face, his feelings complicated, and he didn't know what to say.

In the end, all he could say was, "Wait for Mingzhu."

Xie Yuze: "..."

Jun Lanjin was amused.

He curled his lips into a smile; the Xie family was truly interesting.

So this system means they all live in a book?

Is he a character from a storybook?

If that's the case, then what role does Xie Xing play in all of this?

Wait for someone to leave.

Xie Yuze couldn't wait any longer and said to Xie Yuhe, "Brother, did you hear that?"

"Is what that strange thing said true or false? Will our ending really be that tragic?"
