At noon, the sun was very hot.

He Yin was busy under the eaves and had already changed back into men's clothes.

In the kitchen not far away, spare ribs were stewing in a big pot. At this moment, white steam filled the air and the whole yard was filled with the aroma of stewed meat.

He Yin was peeling a radish and couldn't help but sigh.

The original owner's body was extremely malnourished.

Not to mention that she is thin, the key is that she is also short.

Mingming and Shen Que are of the same age, but Shen Que is a head taller than him.

Because of his height, he looks flawless when dressed as a woman.

However, wearing women's clothes is just a hobby, height is the ultimate pursuit!

Even in the mission world, he has to be satisfied with his height.

Just as I was thinking about it, there was a knock on the gate.

He Yin turned around in confusion and glanced at the gate.

He doesn't have any friends in this mission world. Who would come to him in the middle of the day?

Throwing the kitchen knife and radish back into the basket, He Yin stood up and walked towards the gate.

After opening the gate, He Yin indeed saw Shen Que standing at the door.

He has no friends in this mission world, and the only people he knows are from the Shen family.

It's quite normal that Shen Que would come to my house.

"Why are you here?" Although he thought it was normal for Shen Que to come to his house, He Yin was indeed a little confused.

At this time, Shen Que should be discussing recruiting soldiers with Shen Dafu, so why does he have the time to come to him?

"Brother He, are you not welcome?" Shen Que sniffed the aroma of meat in the yard and said with a smile.

"Come in first." He Yin moved aside and motioned Shen Que to come in.

Shen Que did not go in immediately, but bent down and picked up two food boxes from the ground.

Because the food box was placed on the ground, He Yin didn't notice it just now.

"You're here so why bring a gift?" He Yin said this but his hands were quick in moving and he directly took the food box from Shen Que's hand.

Shen Que: "..."

Can you be more consistent with your actions and your words?

You say no, but your actions are quite quick?

"What did you bring?" He Yin asked as he raised the two food boxes to his nose and sniffed them.

There is no overt fragrance, and it doesn't feel like a big meal.

"It's dim sum from Yongfangzhai. It tastes very good, but I don't know if you like it. I brought it for you to try." Shen Que walked into the yard, closed the door with his backhand, and did not forget to answer He Yin's questions.

"Snacks? I have to try them." He Yin strode to the stone table carrying two food boxes.

There are many dim sum shops in Jiangcheng.

But He Yin never bought it once.

No, it's too expensive and I can't afford it.

He Yin is not a picky eater. He will eat anything as long as the food doesn't taste too strange.

The difference between sweet and salty tofu pudding is not a problem for him. He can accept the taste of both and enjoys eating them both.

Opening the food box, He Yin brought out plates of snacks.

Two boxes of snacks completely filled the small stone table in He Yin's yard.

Overall, most of these snacks are made of rice.

He Yin picked up a piece, took a bite, and nodded.

The pastries are soft and glutinous, with a light sweetness, so you won’t get tired of them easily.

"Go ahead, I don't believe you're here just to bring me snacks." He Yin swallowed the snack in his mouth, then he saw Shen Que coming over and sitting down.

"Well, it seems I can't hide it from you." Shen Que also picked up a piece of cake but didn't eat it.

He Yin did not respond. After he finished a piece of cake, he took another cake, which was obviously a gesture:

You talk yours, I eat mine.

Shen Que also understood what he meant, and without He Yin's words, he started talking on his own.

"There are two main reasons for coming here this time," Shen Que said.

He Yin continued to eat the cake and glanced at Shen Que.

That look means, please continue.

"First of all, if Shen Yimian dies, what will happen to the possessed ghost? How can I get rid of it?" Shen Que looked at He Yin and asked.

He Yin didn't rush to answer, he was also asking the system.

Soon, the system popped up in He Yin’s mind: “Host, generally speaking, if the protagonist dies, your mission will most likely be completed.

However, this mission world is centered on Shen Yimian. After her death, the probability of you completing the mission directly is about 65%.

At the same time, because Shen Yimian is dead, many plot points will change, and many things that you cannot predict may happen.

My advice is to keep her and get better information.”

"I understand." He Yin replied to the system and looked up at Shen Que.

Shen Que was also looking at He Yin with confusion.

He Yin was distracted for a while just now. Could it be that He Yin was looking at the qi?

"Just marry her off." He Yin said.

He Yin was thinking about how to fool... no, how to reasonably explain why he should do this, but Shen Que on the opposite side nodded first.

"I understand."

He was stunned.

What do you unserstand?

He himself hasn't figured out how to fool people yet!

But forget it, since Shen Que said he understood, he must have made up the reason in his mind.

He just didn't want to waste his brain cells.

"What's the second thing?" He Yin asked and continued to eat snacks.

When Shen Que heard He Yin's question, his expression became much more serious.

"As for the second thing...my father and I both think that what Brother He said is right." Shen Que said.

As the richest family in the world, the Shen family is a fat sheep in the eyes of all parties.

In fact, during this period, someone has been contacting his father.

The purpose is also very clear, which is to hope that the Shen family can support them.

Do you need money or food to conquer the world?

Definitely want it.

The Shen family is the object of everyone's pursuit.

Whoever can gain the support of the Shen family will have a 30% higher chance of winning!

Who wouldn’t want such help?

In order to win over the Shen family, those princes promised countless benefits.

For example, giving Shen Yizhi the position of queen, or even giving Shen Que the position of queen.

But a promise is always a promise.

At this moment, the princes need the Shen family, so naturally they will make the best promises they can.

But when the world is settled one day, won’t the Shen family, a mere merchant family, be at the mercy of others?

So, why not be the chess player yourself?

Even if everything fails, at least you have struggled.

Instead of being a vassal from beginning to end, with your honor and disgrace entirely dependent on the thoughts of others.

Of course, Shen Dafu was somewhat dissatisfied at first.

It would be too conspicuous for the Shen family to be the one playing chess.

All he wanted and hoped for was for the Shen family to continue.

But after Shen Que's various persuasions, Shen Dafu was finally convinced.

He has only two children.

A daughter and a brother.

If the Shen family does not fight for it, neither their daughters nor their sons will be able to stand independently in this world.
