You break off my engagement and I dig your ancestral graves

Xiao Su shook his head and slowly sat down, subconsciously thinking that he was hallucinating.

But not long after they sat down, the conversation started again.

This time he confirmed that he could indeed hear the conversation between Cui Yingying and someone called System.

He grabbed the cup and concentrated.

"Can the system change the task? Your tasks are becoming more and more unreasonable. You don't treat the host as a human being at all!" Cui Yingying complained.

The system said disapprovingly, "The host can also refuse and sit back and wait to die."

"No... Other people's tasks have a direction and are fixed. Your tasks are random, right?"

[Not entirely. The value of the host is too low. Some of the tasks you are doing were eliminated by hosts from other time and space, and then I picked them up.]

Cui Yingying sighed in despair: "...If I had known earlier, I should have dug up the Wei family's ancestral graves a few more times when I came here."

It turned out that she was more suitable for doing some physical work. Using her brain was really exhausting. After thinking once, she needed ten days or half a month to recover.

It's no wonder that others don't want to do such a difficult job as spies.

"Your Highness, Your Highness?"

The conversation stopped abruptly, but Xiao Su couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. He only put down his teacup after Ruan Qianhua called him several times.

"Let's stop here for today. I have something to go out for." Xiao Su put down the teacup with a heavy heart, stood up and strode straight to Xiao Dai's house.

Many things that I had never understood were answered just now.

So Cui Yingying kept digging up the Wei family's ancestral tombs because she needed it to prolong her life, and all those strange things she did were also for the sake of staying alive.

Does this also include this long journey?

It was already dark when Xiao Su rushed to the small house with a heavy face. As usual, he did not go through the main gate. After a few ups and downs, he entered Cui Yingying's courtyard.

The room was brightly lit with candles. A young girl sat by the window, writing furiously. Her shadow was reflected on the screen window, and she scratched her ears from time to time.

Xiao Su was wearing a black cloak, standing in the wind and snow, plum blossoms were in full bloom, and lanterns under the eaves were swaying gently.

In order not to attract attention, there were not many servants in this small house, and Zhu Yu was the one who served Cui Yingying in her daily life. When she was bringing the midnight snack to the little princess, she saw this scene and was so scared that she almost dropped the tray in her hand.

"Your Highness." Zhu Yu walked over in panic, put down the tray respectfully, and knelt down with a plop.

They lost the little princess twice along the way. If Your Highness holds them accountable, they will be in great danger of losing their lives.

"Go down! I'll take her in." Xiao Su glanced at her.

Zhu Yu respectfully lifted the tray and handed it to him. She left with a bit of confusion and bewilderment, looking back every few steps. As soon as she reached the archway, she bumped into Liang Heng, who came to discuss the bellyband work with Cui Yingying.

She twitched the corner of her mouth and pulled the person away.

"Hey, hey, hey! Zhuyu, why are you pulling me? I have something important to do with Yingying. I'm waiting for her to appreciate the great work I just painted these days!" Liang Heng staggered and struggled and yelled.

"It's not convenient for the princess today, how about tomorrow?"

"Why is it inconvenient for her? I have long talks with her every day!" Liang Heng retorted dissatisfiedly.

Zhu Yu shot a cold look at him, "If you say one more word, I will tell the princess that Master Liang knows martial arts."

Liang Heng wisely shut up.
