[What? Host, what nonsense are you talking about again! The Jiang brothers are Xiaoya's strongest backers, her number one supporters, her servants, they love her so much, how could they bear to stab her?] The system immediately denied it, and even the electronic music could tell its shock.

It was obvious that it didn't remember what it had said before, and it began to mutter, telling Xu Wanying not to be blinded by jealousy and say these cursing words.

Xu Wanying turned a deaf ear to its nonsense; her thoughts were still immersed in the previous scene.

The system clearly stated that Jiang Chengxiao grabbed Jiang Chengli's wrist and stabbed the dagger towards the bed, and it excitedly asked Xing Xiaoya to dodge. Then there was a busy tone and the system seemed to be offline.

The "sizzling" sound almost drove people crazy. After a few seconds, it came online again, and it didn't remember that scene at all. When it described the scene over there, it had nothing to do with Xing Xiaoya, but the Jiang brothers who threw away the dagger.

It was as if an invisible hand had directly cut out the part where Xing Xiaoya was killed with a dagger, and rewound back to the previous scene, readjusting the plot and continuing it.

This is the second time the system has been offline because of this. It was the same before, and every time Xing Xiaoya was in extreme danger and was about to die in the next second, the system crashed. When it came back online, Xing Xiaoya was still alive and well, and the plot had regressed a little.

[Host, I have said so much, have you listened? When we live in this world, we should have a big picture and not just focus on one person. Xing Xiaoya is a popular girl from heaven, loved by everyone, that's because she is lucky, you can be jealous, envious and hate her, but you can't always curse her to death with a bad heart, otherwise it will be easy to get retribution...]

The system was still chattering away, but this time it wasn't as indignant as before. Instead, it was more like an old mother, expressing concern and instructions.

Xu Wanying sighed lightly and interrupted it coldly: [System, I didn't expect that you are such an idiot. ]

[Ah? Host, what are you talking about! I am worried about you. Xing Xiaoya is the chosen heroine. Most of the luck in the world depends on her. There is no benefit in going against her. Anyone who makes her unhappy will not have a good ending. I am worried about you too! ]

[Although you have been very stingy with me recently and have been very fussy about the energy used by this system, we have been through thick and thin together. I am not a heartless system, and I am only thinking about you now. I don't want you to be like those supporting characters and become Xing Xiaoya's licking dog, but at least you can't make her unhappy! ]

The system was so angry that it screamed and even felt extremely aggrieved.

Xu Wanying sighed again: [Yeah, I do feel your feelings, but you are really a fool who knows nothing! You don't understand anything at all, and I can't explain it to you! I'm going to sleep. ]

There was no sarcasm in her words, but they came from the bottom of her heart.

The system didn't even know it was offline, let alone that the plot had been changed. When it was "sizzling", Xing Xiaoya was most likely dead. When it came back online, it continued to broadcast diligently, but when it was questioned, it knew nothing.

The word "idiot" is written on its head.

[Wow, host, you are really going too far. I haven't offended you! You attacked me for no reason...] The system was called stupid twice, and its defense was obviously broken. A series of questions came out.

Xu Wanying didn't say anything and just closed her eyes to rest. The system was still chattering at the beginning, but when no one responded, it had to shut up in disappointment.

"Third sister-in-law, I heard that you like to read storybooks. Here are some that I found interesting. I picked some for you. There are stories of tragic love, stories of chivalry, and stories of gods, demons, and monsters. You can take a look and see which type you like. I'll send you more next time."

Lu Ling walked in holding a round fan. She had a tall and slender figure, and her steps were light and graceful. Her every frown and smile showed the grace of a lady from a noble family. Just looking at her made people feel relaxed and happy.

She was followed by several servants, including two maids, who were carrying a wooden box filled with neatly stacked books.

Before I got close, I seemed to smell the scent of ink.

Xu Wanying immediately stood up to greet him. With a casual glance, she saw the books on the top layer. The covers were all very exquisite portraits, and they were not revealing.

Although this was a feudal and conservative ancient time, many of the vernacular novels popular on the streets were banned under the Twenty-five Rules, which made people blush when reading them, as the words used were quite bold.

However, the books that Lu Ling selected will naturally not have this problem.

"Thank you for your trouble, sister-in-law. I have heard of this book, "Wandering Notes", for a long time. It has become popular in Wangjing recently and is a favorite of many ladies. I asked someone to buy it before, but unfortunately it is out of stock in all bookstores. Even if they buy it, it is a handwritten copy, not as exquisite as this one."

Xu Wanying flipped through it immediately, picked up a book and shook it, a genuine smile appearing on her face.

Life in ancient times was really boring. There were no televisions or computers, and there were only a few entertainment options: listening to operas or playing cards. You couldn't even go shopping at will. It was almost suffocating to her.

Although the system occasionally takes her to eat melons, since Xing Xiaoya appeared, many plots cannot avoid her. Xu Wanying almost has a psychological trauma after hearing this, so she simply reads the storybook to kill time.

However, books in ancient times were all printed with movable type, and the sales of best-selling vernacular novels often could not keep up with the market and were often out of stock, which was also a great pity.

A handwritten copy is actually equivalent to a pirated copy, so the quality is naturally inferior to the original.

Lu Ling fanned herself and chuckled, "I opened a bookstore, and this book came from the bookstore in my hands."

"Ah, seriously?" Xu Wanying was slightly stunned, and then immediately reacted: "I remember, the bookstore is called Linglong Bookstore, and it turns out it was opened by my second sister-in-law. No wonder the storybooks are so popular among girls, unlike other storybooks that are written for men."

"Next time, you can tell me what you want to read, and I can ask someone to write it specially for you." Lu Ling said generously.

Xu Wanying became excited at that moment and couldn't help but applaud.

"Sister-in-law, you are so generous and thoughtful!" she praised sincerely.

[System, I remember you said before that Lu Ling is narrow-minded, pure bullshit. I have only met her a few times, and she still cares about me so much. It must be that in that book, the supporting role is vilified in order to set off Xing Xiaoya.] Xu Wanying did not forget to drag the system out and scold it.

[Host, you really like to scold me recently! She is not stingy. Who is the one who jumped into the lake on the first day back to the mansion? ] The system said indignantly.

Listening to this one-on-one confrontation, Lu Ling kept a smile on her face. After these days of experience, she had already gotten used to it.

"Third brother is not in the house, you stay in the yard all day, it's boring. It was the same when I accompanied Chengxiao to take office before. He was on duty, and I was the only mistress in the house, and I couldn't talk to anyone. I'm not as generous as my eldest sister-in-law, so I can only give some books to pass the time. If I can make my sister-in-law smile, it will be worth it."
