Chapter 3 Ru Niang’s request

Qiao Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard 1,000 merits, so much!

But "Ru Niang? Doesn't it sound like a modern name? System."

"What's wrong? Do you have any opinion?"

Qiao Yuan smiled and said, "No, then when should we go?"

"Just now."

"Ah, so..."

Before Qiao Yuan finished speaking, he found himself on an antique street.

"……quick."

Watching the pedestrians in ancient costumes coming and going and the shouts coming and going all around.

Qiao Yuan was still shocked to see a living ancient person for the first time.

She swallowed, looked at her modern outfit, and noticed that someone was looking at her strangely.

"System, do you have money?" She wanted to buy some clothes.

"...You are the mission leader and you ask me for money. What's wrong with you?"

Although Qiao Yuan knew that the system was right, whoever had experienced this experience would know.

Since Qiao Yuan was bound to this system, her life has not changed much. Only now does she have a real feeling that she really can no longer be the carefree Qiao Yuan she used to be.

"By the way, system, how long can I stay in this dynasty?"

"what ever."

"What do you mean? What do you mean, follow me?"

"Everyone has a different way of completing a task, and the time it takes is also different. There is no way to specify how long it will take, so when you are doing the task, in order to avoid problems, your time will not pass."

Qiao Yuan nodded and said.

"It means that no matter how long I stay here, the time will still be the same as the moment I came here when I go back, right?"

"Um."

"Then I'll feel relieved."

Qiao Yuan patted her chest, which reassured her.

When she came here, it was the time when she was most sleepy that night. Don't stay here for a long time. If you go back, you will see some missing person notice posted by the police.

Then she found Ru Niang according to the address.

It's just that the timing of her arrival didn't seem so coincidental.

The antique women's boudoir exudes bursts of fragrance.

Through the curtain, Qiao Yuan saw a woman smiling coquettishly and talking to another man dressed as a scholar.

The man took out a small, palm-sized box from his arms, placed it on the table, and handed it to the woman.

Said affectionately.

"Ru Niang, these are my teeth and part of my body. I give them to you as a token of our love."

"It means that you are a part of my body and hold a lot of weight in my heart. When I become rich in the future, I will definitely come back to you."

When Qiao Yuan heard this, he felt a chill in his heart and sent his teeth flying. What kind of habit is this?

These men are accustomed to sweet words but no actual actions at all.

"Mr. Sir, I will accept my concubine after your consideration. Thank you very much, Mr. Sir."

"Na Ru Niang, can you promise me? Don't receive other men in the future."

Ru Niang didn't speak, she just lowered her head with a smile.

The scholar thought she had agreed, so he happily picked up Ru Niang and walked to the bed.

Qiao Yuan saw this posture and realized that he had never eaten pork and had seen pigs running before.

Subconsciously, I turned around and wanted to leave, but then I stopped for a second. That's not right.

This is the object of her help. One of Ru Niang's requests is to get rid of the entanglement of her former benefactor.

Finally, he quickly came to the man, and before he could react, he knocked him out with one palm.

Ru Niang was startled when she saw this, but she did not scream.

He just stared blankly at the strangely dressed woman in front of him for a while, and then suddenly spoke.

"Are you the one who came to help me?"

"yes."

Ru Niang's tears flowed down without any warning.

After a lifetime of suffering, when she thought her life was like this.

But she unexpectedly learned such an unbearable truth. No wonder no one dared to redeem her life.

I just didn't expect that she would have another chance.

Qiao Yuan, who was emotionally introverted and never liked to cry, felt like his head was getting big all of a sudden.

I don’t know what to say, and I don’t have the experience of comforting others, so I can only say it with assurance.

"Don't worry, I will definitely redeem you and fulfill your wish. Don't cry."

Hearing Qiao Yuan's words, Ru Niang just smiled and shook her head, with tears in her eyes.

"If I can't redeem myself, no one will dare to redeem me."

"Why? Aren't you able to redeem yourself if you have money here? Or there are some rules that I don't know about."

Ru Niang did not answer, but said quietly.

"My father was the royal cook in the palace."

"What does this have to do with anything?"

Qiao Yuan was a little confused, whether this could redeem her life, and what did it have to do with who her father was?

"Just listen to what I have to say."

"you say."

Ru Niang stood up and walked to the window.

"Originally, he was just a cook in a restaurant, with excellent cooking skills, and a childhood sweetheart and fiancée. Just waiting for a good and auspicious day, they could become a loving couple."

"It's just that for some reason, he later entered the palace and became the royal cook. Then for some unknown reason, when he came out of the palace again, he had a baby in his arms."

"That baby was me. My father and I had been living together for ten years. He passed away because of an accident. I always thought it was an accident."

"I was sold to Yihongyuan. I just thought it was because of my rough fate. Even if the wealthy businessman who originally said he wanted to redeem me as a concubine later regretted it, I just thought that this is the nature of men."

"But later, I learned the truth. My father joined the palace as an imperial cook because his childhood sweetheart, his fiancée, was favored by the emperor and made her a pure concubine."

"He didn't dare to confront the emperor head-on, and he couldn't let go of his sweetheart, so he followed him into the palace."

"But there is no airtight wall in the world? After the pure concubine entered the palace, she became extremely favored by the emperor and attracted the dissatisfaction of the noble women in the harem."

"So I found out the relationship between Concubine Chun and my father and reported it to the emperor."

"It happened that Concubine Chun gave birth to me at this time. The emperor had suspicions and wanted to deal with me secretly, but Concubine Chun begged her to the death."

"At any rate, it was the woman I once loved that softened her heart and allowed my father to carry me out of the palace."

"But the emperor let us go, but the ladies in the harem refused to let us go."

"First, send someone to kill my father? Then sell me to Yihongyuan, and no one will ever be allowed to redeem my life."

After Qiao Yuan listened carefully, he was quiet for a while.

"So you are the emperor's daughter?"

"No, I am my father's daughter."

Qiao Yuan: “…………”

"Okay, I originally wanted you to go through the formal process, but in this case, forget it, it's really troublesome to involve this and that."

When Ru Niang heard this, she couldn't help but glance at Qiao Yuan.

She didn't know if she really had a solution or was just naive.

She has made it so clear that helping her would be tantamount to going against the nobles in the palace.

So, does she still want to help her?

But she is just a woman, how can I help her?

"Wait for me for a while. I'll come back later. You pack your things first. You can leave at any time when I come back."

After Qiao Yuan finished speaking, he ran out of the window.

Ru Niang just watched quietly, with an unclear expression.
