The baby-making system is unreliable

The feeling of suffocation, the strong feeling of suffocation, the desperate feeling of suffocation surged like a tide, and the power that almost swallowed people tightly strangled the throat, making it impossible to breathe smoothly.

My head was dizzy and heavy, and there was water... There was water all around. The cold liquid kept pouring into my nose and mouth, bringing waves of stinging and bitterness.

At this moment, Yun Xirou suddenly opened her eyes. The moment she regained consciousness, she only felt that her whole body was wet and cold. Although the wet and cold feeling was not bone-chilling, it made her shiver uncontrollably.

"No, buddy, please don't trick me! Where is this?! This is outrageous!" The moment Yun Xirou regained consciousness, she felt a little wet and cold all over, but not bone-chilling. There were people around her hitting the water with bamboo poles, as if trying to stop Yun Xirou from going ashore.

No, I should try to accept such a sudden thing. Which of my appearances is really reliable?! Ahhhh…

Several figures dressed in colorful clothes stood on the shore, muttering something just to watch the fun.

"Hahaha... look, this dumb guy has fallen into the water. The way he struggles is so 'pitiful' and hilarious."

"Isn't it?! She looks like a pitiful drowned dog!? This is too funny!! Looking at her appearance, how can she look like a lady?"

"I don't know why Mr. Ye likes her so much? Why is he so obsessed with her? It is said that everyone in Haicheng knows that the two are related."

"Of course not! It's just that Brother Ye is too busy with business and some things cannot be taken lightly, so he can't take care of this guy."

"But she doesn't even look down on Mr. Ye. Instead, she keeps trying to get close to Mr. Fang. She's just a foxy girl."

"Isn't it? It's a waste that the two gentlemen are so obsessed with her, and she's actually a little mute!"

The three people on the shore seemed to have had enough fun and felt it was boring, so they walked away together. Only then was Yun Xirou able to come out of the lake.

Thanks to the breath-holding pills given to her by Li Li, she would not have been tortured to death by this group of people. It was really ridiculous.

After going back and forth for a while, Yun Xirou finally reached the shore and had time to think about her current situation.

The surroundings seemed to be in a large mansion, and I thought so. Where else could a bunch of young ladies playing around go? !

What happened to Mr. Ye and Mr. Fang mentioned by those ladies? ! Where is she now? !

This was the autumn of the 20th year of Yue Su's reign. The emperor of this dynasty emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce, but he also liked silver. So you know! Everyone knows!

As for silver? The imperial court wanted to save face but they didn't want it. It would be best if they could get it for free. It would be even better if they could just give it to them.

In Yue Su, there are two major business "rivals", commonly known as Beiyun and Nanye. Beiyun refers to the Yun family in Xuzhou, and Nanye refers to the Ye family in Haicheng.

The Yun family runs a business dealing in inland cloth and jewelry, while the Ye family runs a business dealing in heavy weapons, food and fodder.

These two families can be said to be wealthy in their own ways, but Xuzhou is under the emperor's feet, and there are great restrictions on the Yun family. Compared with the Ye family far away in Haicheng, their income is still a little lower.

It sounds like the two companies have nothing to do with each other, but in fact, they are not in the same type of business and the competition is not that great.

Not only that, the ancestors of the two families were old friends. More than 20 years ago, when the Yue Su Dynasty took over, the Ye family encountered many changes and hardships, and moved some of the related businesses to Haicheng.

When traveling to Haicheng, due to the long journey, the youngest son had to be temporarily left in Xuzhou. He asked his good friend Yun Futian to raise him and bring him back when the situation stabilized.

Five years ago, the eldest brother of the Ye family was plotted against while doing business, so Ye Qianyao returned to Haicheng to take over his father and brother's business. Over the past few years, he has become increasingly busy.

But no matter what, their parents had mentioned "arranged marriage" at the beginning. Yun Futian has raised the child for fifteen years, so naturally he likes her no matter how he looks at her.

Yun Futian only has two children. The eldest son has grown up and is married, and is also doing well in business.

But his youngest daughter's marriage was a thorn in his heart, because she was too introverted and didn't like to talk. Some people even said that she was a mute, as he did just now.

Seeing his youngest daughter is like this, Yun Futian naturally hopes to find a more reliable place for her in the future. Fortunately, Ye Qianyao is a reliable kid and said that he would marry Yun Xirou no matter what.

Therefore, Yun Xirou and Ye Qianyao can be considered as childhood sweethearts, and they have a certain emotional foundation.

In Yun Xirou's current memory, the little girl was only sixteen years old and seemed to be still ignorant. She couldn't understand the so-called feelings, was not talkative, and was just thinking about how to make money.

Of course, she was bullied more than once or twice. When she had her father and mother's support, she would act boldly and cry on the spot to get protection. But when she was alone, she would be patient and restrained. She would ask someone to put them in a sack and beat them up.

As for this Mr. Fang, his name is Fang Shiyue, he is from a merchant family near Xuzhou, and has some business dealings with the Yun family. He does seem to be a sincere person, and has always been very attentive to little Yun Xirou.

Therefore, most rumors in Xuzhou are that Master Fang often goes in and out of the Yun Mansion and gives gifts to the fourth young lady of the Yun family, and he must be interested in the fourth young lady of the Yun family.

At least many people outside thought so, otherwise they would not have attracted those girls just now, almost all of whom were his admirers.

This place is the Yun Mansion in Xuzhou. The three people just now are the eldest daughter of the Minister of Rites, the second daughter of the Ministry of Revenue and Finance, and Yun Yuxi, Yun Xirou's good second cousin.

"Cough cough cough..." A violent cough was heard, and Yun Xirou climbed out of the lake with difficulty with a pale face.

She was soaking wet, with water dripping down her hair. She was enveloped in cold and shivered constantly.

“Damn it!” Yun Xirou cursed with gnashing teeth, with a bit of anger and resentment in her heart. She rolled her eyes and said, “These people deserve a beating. I’m going to teach them a lesson.”

"And that Fang Shiyue, when that damn Fang Shiyue comes back, I will definitely beat him up severely to vent my anger!"

Yun Xirou muttered angrily and subconsciously looked around. The weeping willows around the lake gently caressed the surface of the lake, and the deep green lake water was still rippling.

She subconsciously curled up on the stone slab, rubbing her shoulders to keep warm. Her clothes were in disarray at this moment, and she couldn't just go out casually. If she was seen by others, it would be bad for her reputation.

Although it was only early autumn, the lake water was still icy cold, making her feel deeply chilled.

The wind blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness to Yun Xirou's body, causing her to shiver again. She hugged her arms tightly, trying to get some warmth in this way, but to no avail.

She was in a miserable state at the moment, with her hair disheveled and stuck to her face, and her clothes soaked and stuck tightly to her body.

"Maid... yes, Liu An, that girl Liu An, why hasn't that girl come back yet? She's been gone for too long!!"

Yun Xirou thought about it. She had two maids in her courtyard. Ya Niang was sent out by her today, and Liu An went to get pomegranates.

The eldest daughter of the Minister of Rites, Wu Jieya, has always been cunning. She relies on her father being the Minister and does not take merchants like them seriously.

Every time she came to the Yun Mansion, she would insist on having her second cousin accompany her. If her third cousin had not been practicing in seclusion outside Xuzhou City all year round, she would have been dragged by her to accompany her.

"Fourth Miss, why are you soaked all over? Where are the other ladies?" Liu An was so shocked that he dropped the things in his hands and ran over in panic.

Half an hour later, Yun Xirou returned to her residence, Linliu Pavilion, and found that the courtyard was extremely quiet, with willow trees shading it from all sides, and rockery standing in the middle of the courtyard, with gurgling water flowing out from the rockery.

As you step into Linliu Pavilion, the first thing that comes into view is the three-storey attic with carved beams and painted buildings, flying eaves and brackets. Every detail of the attic demonstrates luxury and sophistication.

The walls of the pavilion are painted in light and elegant colors, and the doors and windows are carved with exquisite patterns. The sunlight shines through the hollow window lattices, casting mottled light and shadows. Judging from the scale and decoration of this Linliu Pavilion, it is not difficult to imagine the Yun family's strong financial resources.

"They are too much. They actually dare to treat my young lady like this. My poor young lady just doesn't like to talk to outsiders. It's not like she has violated any heavenly law." Liu An never stopped talking. After talking for hours, Yun Xirou's clothes had already been changed.

"Why did the second young lady follow them to bully the young lady? It's really too much. They just bully the old master and the young master for going out to do business. When the old master and the young master come back, we must have a good talk with them."

Yun Futian is away on business all year round and is only at home three or four days a month, and Yun Yurou's elder brother Yun Yuqing naturally follows him.

At this moment, Yun Xirou was too lazy to start a fight with them. She would certainly settle the matter this time, but she would do it cleanly without leaving any evidence.

"There's no need to trouble my father and elder brother with these things. They are all girls' affairs." Yun Xirou looked at herself in the mirror. She looked pretty and had fair skin. Although she had not grown up yet, she still had some beauty.

Liu An helped her dry her hair and put on new makeup, and only then was she ready.

"By the way, don't mention this to my sister-in-law. She's in poor health, so don't gossip about these trivial matters." Yun Xirou took a sip of tea and reminded Liu An as if she remembered something. She moistened her throat, and her stomach still felt a little cold after choking on the water.

My father and eldest brother are out on business and have not returned yet. My eldest sister-in-law, Ms. Zou, has a gentle personality and a close relationship with my eldest brother. They have been married for four years.

Now, my eldest sister-in-law Zou Fenjin is six months pregnant. Yesterday, the old grandmother insisted that my sister-in-law behave herself. My sister-in-law had a little miscarriage, so she asked the doctor to give her medicine.

The doctor told her to rest quietly for the next few days and not let her hear any news or move. Fortunately, her elder brother and his wife lived some distance from her Linliu Pavilion, so the news didn't spread that fast.

However, if Yun Xirou's mother, Yu, had not been at home, how could it be her turn as the stepmother to speak?

"Where's my mother? When will she come back?!" Yun Xirou asked subconsciously. She had her own thoughts in her mind. It would be better for her to solve this matter by herself.

Liu An thought about what the Madam had said, calculated the days, and then said, "Soon. Madam said a few days ago that she would be back in seven days at most. Yesterday, the young Madam had a miscarriage and sent a letter to Madam. I think Madam will receive the letter and come back soon."

This time, Yun Xirou's mother, Yu, came from a merchant family in Yuzhou. She was decisive and efficient, quick-witted, and good at business, and was the one her father liked the most.

This is also the reason why my father has never taken a concubine for so many years. Yu Yaoli is indeed a rare and virtuous wife.

Half a month ago, news came from Yuzhou that Yun Xirou's grandfather was ill, so he asked her mother to go back for a few days.

Yu Yaoli originally wanted to take his daughter with him, but when he thought about his wife being alone at home, he decided to let his daughter stay so that they could have each other's company.

"Tell Ya Niang to take care of the business of Liucai Tower and not come back for the time being." Yun Xirou thought about it and still felt that it was more important to make money when she had nothing to do. As for the three girls who bullied others, she would follow the old rules: "Go and ask Du Lin to follow the old rules. He understands what I mean."

Liu An didn't ask any more questions, just nodded and went out. Although she didn't know what the old rules were, she knew that the young lady's instructions must be correct, so she just had to do it.

This is also what Yun Xirou likes most. Although Liu An is a talkative girl, she doesn't talk nonsense and won't ask questions that she shouldn't ask.

Du Lin was one of the guards his father had prepared for him, and he was considered the most capable one. He had been by Yun Yirou's side all these years, protecting her safety and doing things for her.

As for this old rule? ! Any girl who bullies her, hmm... will be strongly retaliated by her!!!

"Tomorrow, I will go see my sister-in-law. Please wake me up at 3:30 pm. I am tired. If there is nothing else, I will leave now!!"

After Liu An left first, Yun Xirou called out Li Li. Li Li was lying in her arms and looked a little tired.

"What's wrong with you?!" Yun Xirou asked worriedly, and stroked its fur, trying to make it feel better: "Why do you look a little weak?!"

Li Li meowed and said silently in his heart: "The spiritual energy here is a little weak, so I feel a little uncomfortable."

"What should we do then?!" Yun Xirou frowned, her heart skipping a beat. She didn't expect that Li Li would also feel unwell.

"I'm going to find the male protagonist of this world. He is the center of this space. There are many reasons why the spiritual energy in the space is weak, but the spiritual energy around him must be strong."

Li Li raised his head weakly, looking listless and much more fragile than before. It seemed that his spiritual energy was too weak.

Yun Yirou thought about it helplessly, and had to send Li Li over: "Okay, I'll ask Du Lin to send you to Haicheng, and write a letter to Ye Qianyao asking him to keep you by his side."

I hope Ye Qianyao will give her some face and not abandon Li Li on the road, leaving it alone... a lonely cat.

"Meow, the main mission of the last space is 100% complete, the side mission is 99% complete, and the host has gained 10 years of life."
