Ren Yingying said, "I guess most likely they won't accept it."
Let alone here, how much has she seen even in modern times?
If it weren't for men's needs, would so many women be lining up to see her?
Call it self-deception, call it hypocrisy and cunning, but without buying and selling, there would be no killing; without men's needs, would women be idle?
Ultimately, it's the men's superficiality that leads them to crudely equate a woman's virginity with her character.
Xiu'er said, "If he doesn't want to accept it, fine. Are we going to beg him to accept it?"
The next one will be even better!
If Mingzhu were without any flaws, would it even be Cui Run?
Ren Yingying said, "I'm just afraid Mingzhu will feel bad then. Actually, you can't spoil men. The more you take them seriously, the more they look down on you. The less you take them seriously, the more they'll cling to you."
Tang Zhuyun: "How many men do you have?"
"Eight!" she said triumphantly.
Qu Nian: Nonsense.
Xiu'er: "That's right, last time I said eight, but I didn't elaborate! Tell me more about them."
Ren Yingying counted on her fingers. "Let's start with the first one..."
Qu Nian pricked up his ears.
Tang Zhuyun laughed so hard she could barely breathe, "Ren Yingying, stop being so narcissistic! You suspect she has a crush on you just because she borrowed a pen from you for three consecutive days?"
Would you go three days without a pen?
Tang Zhuyun: "I do. I once forgot to bring my pencil case for a whole week."
Ren Yingying: "... Then I have seven too!"
Xiu'er: "Keep going, keep going."
Qu Nian: I'm listening!
As a result, Ren Yingying rambled on and on about four things, all of which were completely unrelated.
Tang Zhuyun: "Alright, I understand, you don't need to say anything more."
Qu Nian: No, I'm still listening!
Ren Yingying: "The main event is here!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Mingzhu entered.
Her eyes were bloodshot, and she looked worrying.
Qu Nian: You're delaying my important business and wasting my feelings!
Mingzhu sat down next to Tang Zhuyun and said, "Sister-in-law, Cui Run said he'll go back and think about it. He asked me to give him some time."
Tang Zhuyun comforted her, saying, "Hearing you say that actually makes me feel relieved."
This is a normal reaction for men.
Unless you knew beforehand, who could accept that their partner had a past intimate relationship with someone else?
Moreover, this is the era we live in.
If Cui Run were to agree immediately and say he didn't mind at all, that would make people even more worried about his character.
Mingzhu nodded and said, "That's what I think too. I think he should accept me."
Even so, her hands unconsciously twisted the handkerchief, betraying her nervousness and unease.
Cui Run just told her that he understands it's not her fault, but it might take him some time to process this news.
Xiu'er muttered under her breath, "Whether he's willing or not, his mother has to be willing too."
Tang Zhuyun said, "It's enough that we keep this experience to ourselves; there's no need to tell our elders."
"What if Wu Zhenhai makes a scene?" Xiu'er asked. "I'm not entirely at ease with him."
Mingzhu bit her lip and remained silent.
She didn't dare say a word of reassurance about the Old Cabbage Stalk.
That guy just does whatever comes to mind.
Just as she hadn't expected him to let her off so easily, she also couldn't guess what he might do next.
"If we're always worrying, we might as well not live anymore," Ren Yingying said. "Let's just take it one step at a time. Who knows if I'll even be here tomorrow!"
Tang Zhuyun: "Pah! Can't you say a few auspicious words?"
Qu Nian looked at Ren Yingying, his brows furrowing.
What does "Poisonous Woman Ren" mean by that?
Why won't she be here tomorrow?
This sentence became a deep concern for Qu Nian.
He didn't hear a word the women behind him said.
He kept having wild thoughts. Was Ren Yingying going to be punished for failing her mission?
What is her mission?
Was she trying to seduce me?
If that's the case, I could actually reluctantly let her get away with it.
--The prerequisite is that he becomes human as soon as possible.
The system said that it was only possible if he fell in love with Ren Yingying.
"System, I, I..."
"Host, you're stuttering? Do you need to take some medicine?"
Qu Nian: "Do you have medicine?"
"Yingying has."
Qu Nian: "Shut up!"
The system remains silent.
Qu Nian: "... I think I've fallen for Ren Yingying."
He wanted to become human; he loathed his current powerlessness.
The system remained silent.
Qu Nian: "Speak to me!"
System: "It seems like it, but you're asking me? Who should I ask?"
Don't you have any self-awareness about whether you like it or not?
Confess your feelings to it? No need!
Qu Nian felt that the system had been corrupted by those women.
"I like Ren Yingying now," he said through gritted teeth, "There's no turning back now. I want to change back!"
System: "I can't help you."
"What can you do? You're useless!"
The system is frozen.
Qu Nian: "Speak up! Ren Yingying, will something happen to her?"
The system remains frozen.
Qu Nian: "You wait!"
This damn system will be destroyed sooner or later!
No, he began to worry.
He shared his concerns with the Prince of Jin.
He asked the Prince of Jin about the origins of the two women.
Looking into his eager eyes, the Prince of Jin said calmly, "You can ask Ren Yingying yourself in the future."
He declined to comment.
Qu Nian: Is my name "Bumping into Walls"?
He squatted down on the chair, secretly angry, and drew circles to curse the Prince of Jin.
The Prince of Jin said, "Alright, stop thinking about that. In any case, it wasn't them who harmed you. Come here and help me analyze the situation in the Xia Kingdom..."
Qu Nian: If I turn into a human, I can take care of this for you in no time, okay?
If you're not behaving like a human being, I don't want to bother with you.
However, he couldn't resist jumping onto the desk to read official documents with the Prince of Jin.
He needs some space; he needs Jingjing.
A few days later, Cui Run and Mingzhu reconciled.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister-in-law, I'm thinking of going out tomorrow," Mingzhu said with a smile. "Cui Run wants to pick out some things for his mother to take back, and I'll help him choose. He went yesterday, so I'll go tomorrow."
Perhaps because of her happy relationship, she now looks more radiant and vibrant.
The people in the manor are now aware of her relationship with Cui Run, but Mingzhu still doesn't want outsiders to find fault with the manor, so she tries to keep her distance from Cui Run as much as possible.
"Going out? I want to go too." Yanran immediately perked up.
She's going crazy taking care of the kids at home every day.
But Wu Yu immediately stared at her expectantly.
Yanran: "... Let's go together, okay!"
Wu Yu whispered, "Okay."
Yanran: "..."
Ren Yingying said, "I'll go too, to pick out some jewelry and clothes for the four of them. They can't just come along for nothing, can they?"
Qu Nian: Have some shame! They're all my women, okay?!
Tang Zhuyun said, "Go ahead, take plenty of guards. Although we've already cleared out the Zhou Family, there's no guarantee there won't be any who slipped through the net. It's always better to be cautious. Xiu'er, are you going?"
"I'm not going. Song Jingyang is going to the Xia Kingdom in a few days, and I won't be going anywhere for the next few days to pack his things."
