Arc 3 Chapter 117: Scheming Lord, Cooperate a Bit (4)
"That's just how it is. What's even more bizarre is that, instead of arrogantly flaunting his power and causing trouble in the capital, he chose to cut military supplies. Everyone knows that, when winter comes the borders are susceptible to invasions and the supply of provisions must be secure. So he stirred up a hornet's nest by tampering with the food stores. A few people ended up wrongly accused of being involved in treason. Luckily, the An Yong Marquis Mansion is influential and has an Imperial Noble Consort to back it up, otherwise, they'd end up like the Wang and Li families." Number 666 conveyed the gossip.
"Ts-ts-ts... How could someone have such low intelligence?" Luo Liyan shook her head unable to comprehend. "Anyway, let's move on to discussing this male lead of mine."
It seemed that the relationship between the An Yong Marquis Mansion and Weichi Che had deteriorated to the point of no return. Hoping for help from her family in arranging her marriage seemed unlikely. Luo Liyan was better off relying on herself.
"Wisdom lies near the demonic." Number 666 responded after a moment of thought. "He also has a bad temper and a penchant for resorting to violence over trivial matters. However, you don't need to worry about that. Whether he would waste his time talking to you is a different question."
"I am his destined and only wife. If he doesn't pay attention to me does he want to be single for the rest of his life? Isn't he just playing hard to get? I refuse to believe that my warmth won't melt his heart."
"Um... Luo Liyan, do I need to remind you that you might get slapped to death by him before you even have a chance to influence him?" Number 666 asked weakly.
Uh... Well, that hit too close to home, didn't it buddy?
Luo Liyan clutched her chest her expression grim. "Aren't you an almighty system? Are you just going to watch Weichi Che kill me?"
"You can spend 10 Gold Beans to buy a life-preserving pill. It won't save you from death but it will make you appear severely weakened without feeling any pain. It will activate the moment you're struck by a fatal blow. So, how about it? 10 Gold Beans can't be wronged or cheated." Number 666 quickly perked up when Luo Liyan mentioned spending Gold Beans.
The pervasive atmosphere of street gossip and rumors was coming on strong. Luo Liyan sighed reluctantly. "Fine I'll buy it. I can't skimp on life insurance. But..."
She seemed to have thought of something and suddenly smiled smugly. "Hehe, I love seeing him irritated but unable to do anything to me."
"You're thinking too much. Before he has a chance to corrupt you, you're more likely to be slapped into submission." Number 666 ruthlessly shattered Luo Liyan's beautiful illusion.
"I get it. I'll be careful." Luo Liyan sighed in resignation.
As the saying goes, "To catch the tiger's cub, one must enter the tiger's den." So Weichi Che, no matter what he said would have to meet with Luo Liyan first to understand her plans.
"In that case shall I deduct the Gold Beans for you?" Number 666 confirmed.
"Yes." Luo Liyan replied lightly.
"System Prompt: Purchased one life-preserving pill, 10 Gold Beans deducted. Current balance: 390 Gold Beans."
Hearing the system's mechanical cold voice, Luo Liyan nonchalantly removed her outer garments and tossed them onto the nearby coat rack.
Weichi Che, tomorrow get ready to meet your match.
