When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1423 Jin Yue 24
Cheng Qian understood Cheng Sui's disdain, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly. He always thought he did a good job, but in Tan You's words, how could he be so incompetent in every way?

Ultimately, there are some things you do yourself, but others can't say about them.

The carriage swayed and rattled until it reached the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. After the servants led the horses over, Cheng Kun tossed his sleeves and went to Yunshui Pavilion. Clearly, he had been humiliated by Cheng Qian and was also resentful that Wei Shi had disgraced him, so he was going to seek pleasure with the concubine.

Ultimately, this is also a slap in the face to the Wei family, since today is the fifteenth. On the first and fifteenth of the month, the lord must stay in the main courtyard.

Cheng Qian jumped out of the car a step behind. He glanced at Cheng Kun's back, then turned to look at Tan You: "Is this what you meant by him being better than me?"

Tan You chuckled: "These are two different things. Men especially love to use these kinds of tactics. They maneuver among women, offering them small favors while watching the women fight over them."

"By observing the tigers fight from the sidelines and remaining perfectly hidden in the competition, all that remains are negative comments about women not understanding the bigger picture."

“Brother Yun, you must not do this again. If you get married in the future, you must not treat your wife like this.”

"You must cherish and protect women. Without women's support, men cannot accomplish anything."

Cheng Sui nodded: "I understand, Mother. If I get married in the future, I will definitely not take a concubine or find a maid. My mother has suffered so much, I can't let my future wife suffer too."

Tan You pinched his cheek: "That's right, but you're still young, there's no rush to get married. Let's grow up slowly now, become the best version of ourselves first, and then meet the best version of her."

The group entered Qinglanggan, with Madam Wei lagging behind. She glanced at Yunshuijian before entering Bailuxuan. In the past, when Cheng Kun called her vulgar, Madam Wei would be upset for days.

But now, Wei felt it was nothing special. Perhaps it was because Cheng Qian sided with her this time, or perhaps it was because of Tan You's words?
Late at night, Cheng Sui was sleeping soundly on his back in bed, snoring softly. He rolled over, his chubby feet sticking out onto the blanket, when a snake's tail silently appeared and deftly rolled Cheng Sui back under the covers.

Perhaps it had used a lot of effort, because after Cheng Sui's soft snores started again, the large, white snake swam to the main courtyard to find Tan You and claim its reward.

Tan You hadn't rested yet, but she didn't ask Gu Yu or the other maids to serve her. Instead, she leaned against the headboard and read a book.

Dansha swam onto the large bed, coiled itself into a mosquito coil shape, rested its head on Tan You's hand, and licked its forked tongue in Tan You's palm, the meaning of which was quite clear.

Tan You twitched her fingertips slightly, and a wisp of spiritual spring water appeared. Dan Sha opened its mouth wide and directly swallowed Tan You's finger, absorbing every drop of the spiritual spring water.

Seemingly refreshed by the spiritual spring water, Dan Sha's tail tip curled up, and its body leaned even closer to Tan You.

Tan You withdrew her hand after giving Dan Sha a few sips of spiritual spring water. She tapped Dan Sha's forehead: "Don't be greedy, your body can't handle too much."

"Have an orange."

Dan Shapan ate the oranges that Tan You had peeled, showing none of her usual fierce demeanor.

"Judging by the time, the medicine should be taking effect soon." Stroking the smooth scales of the cinnabar, Tan You pulled back the light screen, which displayed a picture of Pei Yun and Lin Jinzhu, the couple.

Pei Yun lay quietly beside Lin Jinzhu. The couple each had a blanket, their sleeping postures proper and disciplined, revealing a rigid demeanor born of discipline.

Tan You slightly curled her lips: "The men in this world are all rotten in their own way, they are all dirty to the bone, and just looking at them is an eyesore."

Cheng Qian knocked on the wall. He and Tan You lived only a wall apart, so he could naturally hear what Tan You was saying.

"what happened?"

Tan You casually retorted, "Get lost! Go to sleep, mind your own business!"

Cheng Qian silently rolled over: "I can't live like this anymore. Someone like you, yet you're full of merit. You're not kind to us at all." Tan You scoffed: "I've been very kind. At least you and your family of three are still alive and well."

Cheng Qian smiled wryly: "What happened?"

"Are we really living a good life right now?"

Tan You: "If you're unhappy, that's your problem, it has nothing to do with me."

"If you find the good days too long, I can..."

Cheng Qian pulled the blanket over his head: "I'm asleep."

Tan You: "A coward who bullies the weak and fears the strong."

Despite saying this, Tan You didn't intend to do anything to Cheng Qian. Cheng Qian was now Cheng Sui's toy; if she were to make another move, she feared she would ruin him.

Pei Residence.

It was already the dead of winter, a season when all things should be asleep. But tonight, the Pei residence seemed a little different. Under the bridges, in the artificial hills, at the bottom of the lake, and even in various enclosed caves throughout the capital, things that should have been sleeping stretched out their bodies.

Their heads were raised high, their tongues flicking in and out, and they quickly caught the sweet scent. Then, they all headed towards Lin Jinzhu's room in the Pei residence.

Half-asleep, Lin Jinzhu felt as if someone was touching her face. The other person's hand was icy cold and even a little sticky. And her body seemed to be getting heavier and heavier.

Lin Jinzhu subconsciously waved her hand away, removing the "hand" that was wandering across her face. But the next second, the hand came back up.

Lin Jinzhu was finally woken up: "Stop making noise..."

But when she saw the scene before her clearly, Lin Jinzhu screamed: "Snake!"

Yes, snakes. Right now, her canopy bed was covered with snakes. Some were coiled up and standing on the edge of the bed, some were on her blankets, and some were even wrapped around her neck.

Pei Yun was also startled awake. He suddenly opened his eyes and froze when he saw the scene before him. He couldn't say a word and his eyes were full of horror.

Neither of them dared to move, but this was not something that could be resolved by their inaction. A large, crimson snake that had been coiled around the pillar beside Lin Jinzhu's head suddenly lunged forward and bit Lin Jinzhu's cheek like lightning.

After succeeding, the giant snake quickly retreated. It seemed to be the leader among them, and the rest of the giant snakes followed suit.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, all the large snakes in the bedroom had dispersed, leaving only winding trails on the ground.

Lin Jinzhu watched them leave, only then belatedly realizing the sharp pain on her face. She instinctively raised her hand to cover her face: "Doctor! I need a doctor!"

My face!

Pei Yun steadied himself, recovering from the shock. He got out of bed, his legs trembling, and poured himself a cup of cool tea. Only then did he feel his mind return to normal.

A large number of people quickly gathered in the main courtyard, and the doctor also arrived. He looked at the two deep bloody holes on Lin Jinzhu's face and felt somewhat uneasy.

Fortunately, the snake was not venomous.
