The villainous female supporting character in the quick transmigration game is incredibly popular!

Chapter 43 The Artificial First Wife in Classical Chinese Texts 14

The emperor pondered for a moment, then nodded and finally said, "I am not the kind of foolish ruler who would discard a useful tool after it has served its purpose. General, do not be misled by others. With you guarding this country, I am at ease!"

These words reassured Xu Yushu. He knew the emperor was telling the truth, because from the time he took command of the military until now, the emperor had never doubted or even targeted him. On the contrary, after the war, the emperor took the initiative to give Xu Yushu a troop of soldiers to continue guarding the area around the palace.

Hearing the emperor's words again, Xu Yushu was deeply moved and solemnly replied, "Your subject will certainly not fail Your Majesty's trust!"

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand, and dismissed Xu Yushu.

Throughout the journey, Xu Yushu had a somber expression and exuded a cold aura, which frightened those around him into not daring to approach. They all speculated whether Xu Yushu had been scolded by the emperor.

Some of the princes secretly inquired about Xu Yushu's background. They knew that Xu Yushu had always been a staunch supporter of the monarchy, and no matter how the princes tried to recruit him, he remained unmoved. This frustrated the princes, and they couldn't help but think, "If I can't have him, I'll destroy him."

However, the emperor trusted Xu Yushu very much, and the latter was also upright and selfless, rarely giving anyone any reason to find fault with him.

Why has this incident actually escalated?

This excited those watching from the shadows!

Xu Yushu was skilled in martial arts and could naturally sense the prying eyes from the shadows, which fueled his anger.

It must be Li Mingbao's doing! Only that woman would go to such lengths to get close to the General's Mansion!

"Li Mingbao... do you really want to get into the General's Mansion?" Xu Yushu murmured, each word dripping with coldness that sent chills down one's spine.

He didn't confront Li Mingbao directly before, firstly because he didn't want to hurt Qingyu too hastily, and secondly because he felt that the latter wouldn't cause any major trouble.

Unexpectedly, this woman was willing to sacrifice her reputation for her goals!

It's utterly shameful!

The more Xu Yushu thought about it, the more irritable he became, and the more resentful he felt. After returning to the general's mansion, he went straight to his study.

They stayed there until early the next morning before finally emerging. The servants of the general's mansion looked at each other, trembling with fear and not daring to speak.

Only the steward, seeing Xu Yushu's dejected yet increasingly gloomy expression, guessed that the general might have made a major decision.

I just wonder who will be the unlucky one this time?

--------------

Qingyu was the first to know about the affair between Xu Yushu and Li Mingbao, because Xu Yushu immediately wrote her a letter explaining the situation, and his words proving his innocence filled three whole pages...

Seeing this clearly gave Yu a headache.

It also found the system incredibly complex; it was the outsider who had been observing all along... oh no, the outsider system. Now the plot was a complete mess, like something a dog had chewed up.

Seeing Qingyu's composure, the system couldn't help but remind her, "Why aren't you concerned about why Xu Qi hasn't shown up yet?"

Qingyu slowly opened her eyes, her gaze filled with surprise. "You know? Just a pawn, I wouldn't bother with that."

Furthermore, if Xu hadn't been so fickle, Li Mingbao's tragedy in his previous life wouldn't have happened.

but……

"Didn't you think I had a bad impression of you? Why are you actually paying attention to them?"

They are referring to the main characters and the male supporting character.

This time, the system wasn't shy; it muttered somewhat awkwardly, "System space is so boring. I don't know what kind of reforms 250 System made; even watching cartoons costs money..."

Otherwise, it wouldn't care about Qingyu!

Its voice was too soft for Qingyu to hear clearly. Just as she was about to get closer, the system pulled up a video: "Xu Qi's injuries were almost healed, but Xu Yushu secretly attacked him, worsening his injuries..."

In the video, Xu Qi inexplicably slips and falls, and a servant happens to fall on top of him, spilling a basin of unidentified water on him in the process...

The next second, Xu Qi's scream startled Qing Yu.

She clutched her chest, blinking innocently, "That's too cruel! I didn't ask Xu Yushu to do that..."

The system rolled its eyes and pulled up another video. It was in the study, in the flickering candlelight, Xu Yushu gave an order: Find a man with a similar build to yourself and have him learn most of your movements within a month!

"What is he doing..." Qingyu's brow twitched, a thought suddenly forming in her mind, yet she was still somewhat uncertain...

If things are really as she thinks, it won't be easy for Li Mingbao to enter the General's Mansion.

"It's exactly what you think!" The system angrily turned off the video, glanced at Qingyu, and said, "Now the male supporting character is suffering, the male and female leads are at odds... the plot is a complete mess."

"This is exactly the effect I wanted." Qingyu smiled, her eyes crinkling into crescent shapes, showing just how happy she was. She even added, "Speaking of which, Xu Yushu only made this one decision, so why did he need a whole night? A whole night of spacing out?"

System: "...You don't understand, this is a description of the male lead's deep and ruthless nature!"

Qingyu smiled, picked up the invitation she had received a few days ago, and said with a radiant smile, "Look, the chance for revenge is coming soon."

The system's lips twitched. "To be honest, Li's mother didn't offend you much."

“But her daughter offended me. To give birth to a child and not raise it, to raise it and not teach it, is also a sin.” Qingyu interrupted the system, her usually clear eyes filled with indifference.

“You can think of me as avenging the original owner of this body, but more than that… it’s because Li Mingbao has offended me time and time again.”

The system remained silent, seemingly wanting to say something, but ultimately unable to utter a word.

Qingyu gazed intently at the invitation in her hand, sunlight filtering through the carved window lattice and dappling her body.

Holding the invitation, she frowned slightly, lost in thought.

The sunlight cast a soft glow on her skin, making it appear even more flawless and delicate.

Her hair shimmered with golden light in the sunlight, making her look like a fairy descended from heaven.

This scene stunned the maid beside her. She was ultimately captivated by his beauty. The maid swallowed hard and cautiously stepped forward.

"Miss, are you going to an appointment? I can help you with your hair and makeup!" Her voice was full of anticipation.

You know, which of the maids in the manor wouldn't want to serve Qingyu? Such a beauty, just seeing her up close makes one feel utterly satisfied for life.

Qingyu smiled gently, her smile as beautiful as a blooming flower, and handed the invitation to the maid with her delicate hand, saying, "Then please help me get ready."

The date on the invitation is today.

Judging by the time, it will be about time by the time she finishes washing and dressing.

------------

When Li's mother came out of the small Buddhist hall, this alarmed Li Mingbao. When she rushed to find her, she was told that Li's mother had left the mansion.

"Leaving the manor? Mother has an appointment with her?"

Li Mingbao was extremely surprised. She had not been raised by her mother since childhood and knew very little about her. The only thing she knew and was certain of was that her mother really loved Buddhism and lived a secluded life, abandoning her husband and daughter for the sake of her Buddhist practice!

I finally get to see my mother, and she's gone out?!

Puzzled, Li Mingbao caught a glimpse of Hanqiu nervously taking a step back, and his brow twitched.
