God favors the troublemaker, and the protagonist is forced to become evil

While Li Yan was thinking over and over again, Yue Niang realized that the situation was not good. Looking at Li Yan's pensive look, she knew that she might really lose Chang'er. Li Yan would really agree.

She knew him too well, and she was very familiar with the way he weighed the pros and cons.

"Then let's do as Madam says. It would be the best thing for Madam to raise Chang'er."

Li Yan said to Zi Ning with a smile, and while speaking he pushed Yue Niang away to prevent her from pulling him.

"Master is wise. What are you going to do with this concubine? I heard that she lives in Yiliyuan now, which is a good courtyard and not suitable for a concubine to live in. But if father knew that the master took a concubine shortly after his marriage, I'm afraid he would think that you are losing face for the Lin family." Zi Ning looked at Li Yan with a sweet smile. The unpredictable expression on his face was really funny.

Looking at Yue Niang again, her previous smug expression was long gone, replaced by only fear and disbelief.

So funny.

"Madam, what do you think we should do? Yue Niang... Yue Niang is Chang Er's biological mother after all, we can't treat her too unfairly."

Li Yan looked at Zi Ning tiredly. It was already late at night and after a whole day of socializing, he just wanted to rest.

"Master, what are you talking about? A concubine is supposed to serve the mistress. There is only my mother who needs to be served at home, and no one else needs to be served. How can this be considered a grievance?"

Zi Ning's answer was appropriate, and it was actually the truth.

But if you, a heartless man, had not coveted power, she should have been the mistress, enjoying the admiration of others. But now she has become a fish on the chopping board, and her stay or departure is decided by a few words from others.

"Madam, what you said makes sense. Let you make the arrangements. I'm tired. Let's stop here for tonight and get some rest." As if he couldn't stand the farce between women, Li Yan waved his sleeves and left in a hurry.

Yue Niang also left with him, and followed him crying.

"Let's take a rest too. We'll be busy tomorrow." Chunying and Qiuju came in to serve. They skillfully helped Zining remove her makeup and take a bath. Soon, Zining was lying on the bed.

Thinking back to everything that happened just now, Zi Ning felt that this game was more and more realistic.

"So smart! How did I perform just now? There are no flaws, right?" Zi Ning called the system silently in his heart, excited to share his gaming experience with others.

"Player Zining, I'm System Elf No. 3! Please don't call me by the wrong name next time! In addition, the player performed very well and the degree of integration was very high. No one noticed anything unusual." The soft and cheerful voice of the cute little boy came, as if he was not angry.

"Hey! So smart, what will happen if I die in the game? Can I start over? Can I save the game? Are there any reminders at key points?" Zi Ning seemed to have thought of the key issue and became serious.

"Player Zining, hey. Please complete the task carefully. If you die in the game, you will experience the whole process of death. The game is declared a failure and you will be randomly transferred to the next world." The system was helpless and no longer bothered to correct Zining's wrong name.

"In addition, this world has a high degree of freedom and there are no key node prompts. Also, if players want to save the game, they need to redeem the corresponding items in the mall." Dacongming explained patiently.

Zi Ning was horrified, "That means the main controller is dead, I won't get any points and will have to experience death. This trip is in vain!"

"Yes."

Thinking of this, Zining decided to be careful in the future. She didn't want to experience the process of death, even if it was a game.

Zi Ning was chatting animatedly with the system, and Li Yan's side was also quite lively.

"Husband, please don't let Chang'er leave me. Wuuuuu... I can't live without Chang'er. She won't be good to Chang'er, husband!" Yue Niang begged Li Yan with tears in her eyes.

"Ah, Yue Niang, I know I'm sorry to you. But if Chang'er is raised by Lin, if Lin develops feelings for him in the future, it will be good for Chang'er's future. Moreover, if she has her own child in the future, I will take Chang'er back so that you can raise him again. Now I'm just trying to comfort her. Don't worry, Chang'er is my first child, and he has a different meaning to me. You are also my childhood sweetheart cousin, and I will never let you suffer any grievances. Lin is not a difficult person to get along with, you just need to be more obedient, and she will never embarrass you."

Facing his cousin who looked as pitiful as a willow, Li Yan still tried to comfort her patiently. However, when he saw her cousin's face that had blurred her makeup due to crying, and recalled her pretty face when she lifted her veil, Li Yan couldn't help but feel distracted.

a good night's sleep

The next morning, Zining was called up to dress up after serving tea to Li's mother-in-law, and she had only slept for a few hours.

Zining kept yawning and let Chunying and Qiuju dress her. Li Yan walked into the inner room with a tired look on his face, and smiled unconsciously when he saw Zining being dressed up like a doll.

"Now that you're here, let's serve the meal." Zi Ning glanced at Li Yan in the bronze mirror and gave the order casually.

Li Yan sat down at the table. "My mother is a gentle person. Since I was a child, she worked hard to raise me and support my education. She suffered a lot."

Even after finishing their meal, when the couple was on their way to Shouchun Hall, Li Yan was still telling Zining about his mother and how she had worked hard to raise him alone.

Li Yan's mother is a typical village woman. She may need to be arrogant and tough to raise Li Yan alone, so as to support the survival of the orphan and widow and not be bullied by others. Huang is a typical son-loving woman. She is only good to her son and regards him as the heaven. Others are grass, including Yue Niang who gave birth to Chang'er.

Before the original Lin Zining came, Huang had been tormenting Yue Niang a lot; after Lin Zining married, she began to torment Lin Zining because of Yue Niang's instigation. She took all of Lin Zining's dowry into her own hands, acted like a mother-in-law in front of others, and learned from the women in Beijing to tell their daughters-in-law to behave properly.

Later, after Lin Zining had a miscarriage and was unable to conceive for a long time, he mocked her every day as a hen that could not lay eggs. Later, when Lin Zining was locked up in the woodshed, he ignored her and used her dowry after Lin Zining died without any guilt.

This mother-in-law, Mrs. Huang, is definitely not an easy person to get along with.

Zi Ning was thinking in his heart, but he walked quickly, and soon he arrived at Shouchun Hall where the old lady lived.

Li Yan was the first to open the door curtain and enter, followed closely by Zi Ning.

I saw an old woman sitting alone in the main seat. Although she was wearing new clothes, her face was full of wrinkles and her skin was dark yellow. It was not difficult to tell that she had lived a hard life. Her sallow hands covered with calluses looked more like dry branches against the plain narrow sleeves.

When Huang saw her son Li Yan coming, she immediately smiled and then looked at Zi Ning behind Li Yan, with an undisguised look in her eyes.

"Greetings, mother." Li Yan and Zining paid their respects to the old lady politely. "Please have some tea, mother." Zining bowed his head and served her a cup of tea.

Looking at Zining's dignified and graceful appearance, Huang felt satisfied.

Compared to Yue Niang, Zi Ning has good manners and temperament.

Her son is now a third place winner in the imperial examination, so of course he is worthy of being a young lady. However, since he has married into the Li family, he should follow her rules.

The first thing was her dowry. That day, she had people carry it in one load after another. It was estimated that there were more than 30 loads...

She wanted to get it all, hold this young lady in her hands, and make her work like a slave for the Li family.
