Chapter 235: Chapter 1: Char Siu Son

Ye Xiao understood the two tasks at hand.

The first task was essentially to change Ye Qingrong’s fate. However, what constitutes a happy and fulfilling life is subjective. For Ye Qingrong, the obstacles to her happiness were her two children.

If Ye Xiao had arrived earlier, she might have gradually educated and changed these two.

As it stood… it seemed too late.

If she persisted in trying to save and change them, she might just recreate the original tragedy of the story.

If she outright abandoned these two, would that still count as a happy and fulfilling life?

The second task was quite straightforward, which was to confiscate the female lead’s golden finger.

As far as Ye Xiao was concerned, the world’s male and female leads did not have much of a problem.

One was a patriotic general, and the other a doctor who cured the sick. Their love for each other also began after the original owner’s death. Ye Qingrong herself did not harbor any resentful feelings towards them.

If the male and female leads were normal, Ye Xiao had no reason to oppose them.

This time, Ye Qingrong would certainly not pass away from illness, but she could request a separation herself. She did not want to meddle in the love between the male and female leads. With her abilities, it shouldn’t be difficult for her to live a decent life on her own.

Taking back the female lead’s golden finger was something she also needed to strategize. The Modify-Text System had not yet informed her how to retrieve it. She would wait until she met the female lead to decide.

“Mother! Say something! This is all I ask of you in my life! If you cannot accept Qingqing, then you might as well not recognize me as your son!” Gu Changze said stubbornly, “I want to see if by doing this, you are being fair to my father.”

Ye Xiao frowned.

This char siu’s way of talking was always shouting, and she felt her ears had suffered damage.

“Gu Lang, don’t speak any further. I know your feelings for me. But our love is not accepted by this world, so please, let me go.”

Gu Changze was instantly incredulous, “No! Qingqing, where will you go? Don’t be afraid, I will definitely marry you. Look, so many people here are deeply moved by our love. They don’t want us to give up, and neither should you, please.”

The onlooking crowd that was just there for the excitement: “…”

How on earth did this enormous pot fall onto them?

“Mother.” Beside them, An Yihua, Gu Changze’s legitimate wife from the Minister Residence, looked at Ye Xiao with reddened eyes and a somewhat desperate expression.

She, too, came from a respectable family and was delicately raised. She believed she had not done a single thing wrong since marrying into the family when suddenly, her husband did not return on their first wedding night and the next morning, he was bringing a courtesan into the house, intending to marry her!

She did not oppose Gu Changze taking a concubine, but they had just gotten married, and she had yet to develop strong feelings for Gu Changze.

But…

His behavior was openly slapping her face, as well as that of the entire Minister Residence. If the news spread, she wondered how she could face others, and how her father could as well.

“Mother! Please grant my brother’s wish,” Gu Shu said to Ye Xiao with tear-filled eyes.

Moving, so moving.

The brother and Sister Liu were indeed a match made by heaven.

Currently.

All eyes were focused on Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao narrowed her eyes slightly and reviewed the plot.

“Ye Qingrong was furious. She summoned men to throw Liu Qingqing out. Just as the guards touched Liu Qingqing, she seemed to suffer a severe shock and fell helplessly into Gu Changze’s arms. Gu Changze, distressed, protected Liu Qingqing, declaring that if she could not enter his home, he would wander the world and never return.”

How interesting.

Ye Xiao’s lips curved into a faint smile as she said indifferently, “Who is making a racket in the Marquis Valiant Residence? Guards, throw this woman out, along with this bridal sedan chair. The farther the better.”

Following Ye Xiao’s command, several guards moved forward to seize Liu Qingqing.

Ye Xiao also made a subtle change to a word.

She had just arrived in this world and was greeted with three opportunities to modify text, so she decided to have a go at it.

Her proficiency with the Modify-Text System was growing, and changing words had become second nature.

Ye Qingrong gave the order.

An Yihua couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.
