I swept the harem by pretending to be weak

Seeing that Liu Zhirou's reaction was not too intense, Liu Zhijin continued talking.

"This is a book I read a long time ago. I can't remember many of the plots clearly, but I still remember Qiu Ju's name very clearly. Before this, I had never seen a heroine in a romance novel with such a rustic name. It was also because of this that I paid some attention to this book." Liu Zhijin swallowed and looked around like a guilty thief. She made sure that no one was secretly monitoring them before she dared to continue.

"This book...is essentially a story about chasing a wife to the crematorium, but it's not very friendly to the supporting characters. In the early middle of the plot, Concubine Shu sent someone to call the heroine to her palace, intending to kill her to silence her. At the time, she was said to be a remnant of the Liu family, but fortunately, the second male lead arrived in time to save the heroine."

"Who is the second male lead? Who is the male lead?" Liu Zhirou interrupted Liu Zhijin's incoherent narration and asked directly.

"The male lead is the current emperor, and the second male lead is the fifth son of Duke Deng's mansion, Guo Jieshu." Although Liu Zhijin's narration was interrupted, she was not dissatisfied at all, and she quickly gave an answer.

When Liu Zhirou heard this, she couldn't help but think of the book master mentioned by Qiao'er and Wu Lang mentioned by Gan.

Is it such a coincidence?

Liu Zhirou hesitated for a moment, but still told her discovery. However, she certainly did not say that she had sneaked into Gan's room at night to eavesdrop. She only said that her personal maid once heard Gan's maid Qiao'er mention in a casual conversation that the young mistress had a good relationship with a young master.

"If you really encounter a crisis that is difficult to resolve, you can throw out this news and let Gan help you. She should not dare to refuse." Liu Zhirou concluded.

Liu Zhijin nodded seriously.

Liu Zhirou didn’t know whether Liu Zhijin had taken her words to heart, but the important thing now was not Liu Zhijin’s affairs.

"Go on, I'm listening." Liu Zhirou nodded steadily.

"Oh, I'll tell you right away. At that time, Concubine Shu wanted to beat Qiu Ju to death, and the emperor didn't say anything else. However, Guo Jieshu, who came to the palace to discuss things, stopped this and joked, saying that he thought this woman looked very kind and it would be bad if she got into a bloody disaster. So the emperor ordered Qiu Ju to be beaten and kicked out." After being reminded, Liu Zhijin was obviously stunned for a moment before continuing.

"Let's talk about the talent show." Liu Zhirou continued to remind.

"The book doesn't directly mention this talent show. The only relevant content is described through the heroine's memories. I can't explain it even if you force me to." Liu Zhijin lowered his head, rubbed the corner of his clothes, and looked very aggrieved.

Liu Zhirou was silent.

She had this premonition a long time ago, but when it really happened in front of her, she still felt very annoyed.

Liu Zhirou admitted that she had misjudged this person. Liu Zhijin seemed a little bit stupid, but in fact, she was even more stupid than she thought.

"In that case, you should have a good rest and stay in good spirits so that you can face greater challenges." Liu Zhirou didn't want to continue talking nonsense with the other party.

Liu Zhijin had obviously made up her mind to keep some trump cards for herself, but she obviously misjudged the difference between trump cards and life-threatening cards.

There is no point in asking further, and it won't be of any help except some insignificant scraps.

"Then the plot..." Liu Zhijin was obviously a little surprised by the subsequent development.

"Let's not talk about the plot for now. After all, you also said that it was all narrated from the perspective of the heroine's memories. I don't know how much those things deviate from the facts. The more you know, the easier it is to mislead me. I will just do my own thing." Liu Zhirou narrated calmly.

Liu Zhirou stood up and prepared to leave. Liu Zhijin subconsciously took two steps forward and grabbed her sleeve tightly.

"What's wrong?" Liu Zhirou turned around and asked in confusion.

"Sister, I have something to ask of you." Liu Zhijin said earnestly, "I want to meet Guo Jieshu."

"Why? Didn't you say it before? He is a playboy and a scumbag who can't be trusted." Liu Zhirou asked in surprise.

She had a hunch that the reason Liu Zhijin rejected the olive branch she offered was definitely because she had found other helpers, but what she couldn't have imagined was that Liu Zhijin's helper turned out to be the philandering scumbag she herself described.

Liu Zhirou was very puzzled by this and even suspected that Guo Jieshu had also traveled through time.

"I know, and I'm not stupid enough to rely on him, but...but he and I have exchanged a token of love before, which was a handkerchief embroidered by myself. That thing always falls into his hands, and there is no way. I have to find a way to get it back..." Liu Zhijin lowered her head shyly, and even her ears turned red.

Liu Zhirou was very surprised.

Of course, handkerchiefs were very private items for women in ancient times. If they fell into the hands of a strange man, they would indeed feel embarrassed. However, based on the mutual testing between the two of them, Liu Zhijin should be the same as her, coming from the modern era with a more open atmosphere.

Faced with this situation, she might feel a little uneasy and irritated, but she would definitely not be embarrassed to this extent.

"Is that so? It doesn't matter. Even if there is a mark that belongs to you alone, it doesn't matter. Just say that it was a handkerchief that you accidentally lost when you went out to pray." Liu Zhirou did not express her doubts directly, but calmly gave her an idea.

This idea is unlikely to work, but it is even more ridiculous to ask someone to return the lost handkerchief. Even if the other party did not notice it at the time, they will notice it after such a commotion.

Unless, Liu Zhijin's purpose was to attract that person's attention.

Liu Zhirou thought about it and became more and more confused.

Liu Zhijin seems to be a very contradictory person. What she says is completely different from what she does.

Liu Zhirou thought so in her heart, but did not directly reject Liu Zhijin's request. She just agreed to give it a try. Whether it would succeed or not depended on Liu Ming's opinion.

Liu Zhijin gratefully sent her out the door.

"You have to be careful." Liu Zhirou unexpectedly heard the other party say this in her ear.

Liu Zhirou didn't understand what she meant, but she didn't intend to ask any further.
