Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.
Chapter 382 Let's Cut It Off
Shangguan Fei acted quickly, and in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, she came out fully prepared, with Wu Linggu following behind her.
After Wu Linggu regained her memories, she has been trying to find a way to cure the Gu that was her natal Gu.
Unfortunately, although the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion found the precious medicinal herbs and poisons she needed, the aura of the Golden Snake Gu was still very weak.
But at least he survived.
"Fu'er, Agu and I are all packed. We can set off anytime."
Shangguan Fei, dressed in a black outfit, looked dashing and heroic, even more refined and valiant than a man, radiating vitality.
Ying Yufu looked at Shangguan Fei with sparkling eyes. "My older cousin is so beautiful."
She felt that no man in the world was good enough for her older cousin.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of Yuan Jingchen.
Well, she still has a task to complete called "Yuan Jingchen Knows When to Give Up".
No, this trip will take at least two months to return. She has to complete the task of making Yuan Jingchen give up.
It's tonight!
Ying Yufu immediately grabbed Shangguan Fei's arm and said, "Big Cousin, do you know that Yuan Jingchen has designs on you?"
Shangguan Fei was taken aback, not expecting Ying Yufu to suddenly bring up this matter. Was it related to their plan to travel overnight tonight?
Ying Yufu said, "Big Cousin, do you want to go and beat him up so he'll never dare to mess with you again?"
Shangguan Fei was surprised: "He's just an indifferent person. There are plenty of people who want to lay a finger on me. This Yuan Jingchen can't cause any trouble. There's no need to pay him any attention."
Ying Yufu was determined to pay attention; she absolutely had to, because these were her points!
Ying Yufu shook her arm and pleaded, "Big cousin, just listen to me, give up this troublemaker's thoughts, and I'll give you that delicious fruit!"
Shangguan Fei's eyes lit up. "Really?"
She had always been curious about what the Star Fruit tasted like.
Ying Yufu patted her chest and assured him, "I promise, but if you want the fruit, you have to make Yuan Jingchen give up!"
A glint flashed in Shangguan Fei's eyes; she understood.
So this was a task given to Fu'er by the divine artifact.
Shangguan Fei chuckled inwardly. So Fu'er had this task. But thinking about it, she could earn a fruit to eat while helping Fu'er complete the task. It was totally worth it!
Shangguan Fei smiled indulgently, "Alright, then let's do as Fu'er says and go find that pretty boy!"
Ying Yufu's eyes sparkled.
Wu Linggu looked at them, a trace of melancholy appearing in her eyes.
So this is what normal interaction between sisters is like.
Their eyes were open and sincere, and the tacit understanding and closeness they inadvertently revealed could not be faked.
Looking back at Wu Lingduo's behavior in front of her, it was all hypocritical and pretentious.
It's hateful that she never saw through it before.
Seeing her remain silent, Shangguan Fei took her hand and said, "Agu, come with us and join the fun."
Wu Linggu was taken aback, not expecting Shangguan Fei to bring her along.
After a moment of stunned silence, Wu Linggu nodded, a slight smile playing on her lips.
The three disappeared into the night.
Outside the Yuan family mansion, Ying Yufu suddenly remembered something: "Wait!"
She paused in her steps.
"What's wrong, Fu'er?" Shangguan Fei noticed her sudden serious expression and couldn't help but look around warily.
Not far away, outside the main gate, Yuan Bujin's carriage slowly came to a stop, and Yuan Bujin and his second son, Yuan Shuohai, got off the carriage.
Ying Yufu said sternly, "Have you forgotten about the Crown Prince!"
Shangguan Fei was taken aback.
"Big Cousin, you and A-Gu hide well, I'll be right back."
After saying that, she disappeared like a gust of wind.
Shangguan Fei stared wide-eyed in surprise; Fu'er's speed...
Wu Linggu also opened his mouth wide in surprise, utterly shocked.
At the Mu residence, the Crown Prince was talking to a strategist when suddenly a shadow flashed over, picked him up without a word, and swept away like a gust of wind.
The two attackers, feinting to the east and striking to the west, stared dumbfounded in the direction in which the prince had been abducted.
Yu Li, accompanied by several Flying Tiger soldiers and Shangguan Sheng, approached and asked, "Commanders, what's wrong? Where is His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Feint to the east and attack to the west, they pointed outside the door, "His Highness was just kidnapped by Princess Anguo."
Yu Li was stunned. Had Fu'er snatched it away?
They were all somewhat bewildered.
Outside the Yuan residence, Yuan Bujin's carriage had already entered the gate, and the gate had just closed.
Ying Yufu's trip back and forth took only a short while.
Firstly, the Yuan residence was not far from the Mu residence, and secondly, Ying Yufu's speed was indeed astonishing.
The prince was placed on the ground, still completely dazed.
He blinked and looked at Ying Yufu, "Fu'er?"
Ying Yufu gave him a thumbs up and whispered, "Your Highness, let's go watch the fun now."
The prince's eyes lit up immediately.
He looked at Ying Yufu with emotion. No wonder Fu'er brought him here; it turned out there was something exciting to see.
Fu'er is truly his good Crown Princess; she doesn't forget him even when there's excitement to be had.
Shangguan Fei and Wu Linggu stared wide-eyed. So, Fu'er made this trip just to bring the Crown Prince here to watch the excitement?
The two of them stared at them speechlessly.
"Your Highness, my cousin is going to fight Yuan Jingchen. Although we're sure Yuan Jingchen won't dare tell anyone, you should still disguise yourself so he doesn't recognize you."
Without saying a word, the prince took out a box from his pocket, opened it, and began to paint on his face. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a dark-faced youth.
He winked at her. "From now on, I'll be your bodyguard."
Ying Yufu glanced at his frail figure. How could His Highness the Crown Prince, who was so weak, be her bodyguard?
Ying Yufu shook her head, reluctantly accepting this explanation.
So the four of them quietly sneaked into the Yuan residence.
Yuan Jingchen's courtyard was secluded, and there were few servants in the courtyard, only one young attendant.
He was given twenty strokes of the cane and forced to kneel for three days. He was lying on the bed, enduring the pain of his injuries. His servant was lying exhausted at the corner of the bed, dozing off.
When Ying Yufu and the other three entered, the servant boy was still asleep. Yuan Jingchen, however, was in so much pain that he couldn't sleep. Hearing the noise, he turned around to look.
He thought it was the imperial physician coming, but he didn't expect to see Ying Yufu and the other three.
Yuan Jingchen's expression became incredibly interesting.
After a moment of stunned silence, a look of surprise gradually appeared on his face. He looked at Shangguan Fei and exclaimed, "Miss Shangguan!"
His first thought was that Shangguan Fei must have heard that he was punished by his father because of her, and felt guilty and couldn't bear it, so she came to see him.
He felt a surge of excitement; if Shangguan Fei showed him any pity, he would have a chance.
"That's right, it's me, Yuan Jingchen. I'm asking you, are you trying to curry favor with me?" Shangguan Fei strode forward, looking down at him.
Yuan Jingchen's heart raced. "Miss Shangguan, I fell in love with you at first sight. My feelings are sincere, and I have absolutely no intention of currying favor!"
"Alright, you promise me that you'll write a letter stating you'll never try to curry favor with me and will avoid me whenever you see me in the future. Then I'll believe you have no intention of doing so!"
Shangguan Fei said jokingly.
Yuan Jingchen's expression changed. What?
He stared silently at Shangguan Fei, a fleeting look of humiliation crossing his face.
After a long pause, he said, "Why does Miss Shangguan insult me? Is one of my pieces so worthless to you?"
As he spoke, he seemed to be aggravating his injuries, and his face showed pain.
"It's not just worthless. There are countless people who admire me, but I don't care about any of them. So what are you, Yuan Jingchen?"
You want to scheme against me and climb over me to get ahead? Yuan Jingchen, with such a wicked heart, you're destined to be a pathetic wretch.
People like you are the last thing I want. I'm here today to make you face reality and let you know that I'm not someone you can mess with.
Shangguan Fei threw the paper and pen in front of Yuan Jingchen.
Yuan Jing touched the paper and pen in front of him, his face flushing red.
Humiliated and ashamed, Yuan Jingchen trembled all over.
Ying Yufu smiled and said, "Big Cousin, your idea is good. Then please ask Young Master Yuan to write it. Once it's written, I'll take it to my study to print several copies and post them all over the capital so that everyone can see them. That way, we'll believe that you have no intention of currying favor."
Yuan Jingchen's eyes widened.
【Vicious! So vicious!】The Heavenly Dragon System said in the prince's mind.
[Host, don't underestimate a young man's potential. Why not take this opportunity to win over and bribe this Yuan Jingchen? I see the resentment and ambition in his eyes; this man is no ordinary person.]
[He is indeed no ordinary fish; he's just a dried-up fish staring blankly from the shore.] The Crown Prince mercilessly attacked the Heavenly Dragon System.
The Heavenly Dragon System was immediately enraged: [Host, I told you to seduce beautiful women, and now I'm telling you to recruit followers, and you won't listen! Are you doing this on purpose?]
The Crown Prince said leisurely, "Given what you've made me do, I suspect you're sent by the enemy to harm me."
Tianlong System: [?]
"You, a main god system, have been reduced to binding a host and doing tasks. You must not be doing very well, right?" The prince added insult to injury.
Tianlong System: [?]
The Crown Prince said, "[Heavenly Dragon System, if you behave yourself and stay quiet from now on, I might accept you. But you must be obedient, well-behaved, think more and talk less, understand?]"
Tianlong System: [Host, do you know what you're saying? Do you know what the Main God System means? Host, you'll regret treating me like this.]
Crown Prince: [Shut up!]
Shangguan Fei continued to urge, "Young Master Yuan, hurry up and write. If you really have no intention of currying favor with me or scheming against me, then write it down."
Your current reluctance makes me seriously suspect you have ulterior motives.
I am the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion; how could someone as scheming as you possibly outwit me? I'm not happy if you don't write it."
Ying Yufu nodded vigorously: "Yes, write it down quickly. Do you know what happened to the last person who schemed against the Shangguan family's daughter?"
You know the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion, right? They plotted against my mother, and now the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion no longer exists.
You don't actually think you're smarter than the people from the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion, do you? Oh dear, at least they're from the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion. What do you have?
When Shangguan Fei heard her mention the Marquis of Weiyuan's residence, her expression immediately turned sour. She sneered and said, "Young Master Yuan, just because you dare to have designs on me, I wouldn't be too much for you to kill me."
Even if I kill you, Yuan Bujin will still be in the wrong.
Ying Yufu said, "Big cousin, you don't know, he also has a dear cousin. He was probably planning to scheme to get you and then bring his dear cousin into his mansion to leech off you."
Shangguan Fei's eyes widened: "How terrifying! How is this any different from the Marquis of Weiyuan's residence? But we've seen through his little scheme! What are we going to do?"
"What else can we do? Maybe we should just..." Ying Yufu made a throat-slitting gesture.
Shangguan Fei nodded: "Keeping such a scheming man around is indeed a disaster."
Ying Yufu: "Should we just slit his throat, or turn him into a eunuch?"
Shangguan Fei said, "Killing someone isn't a good idea, so how about turning him into a eunuch..."
As they talked, the two looked down at Yuan Jingchen's lower body.
Yuan Jingchen felt a chill run down his spine, and his face showed a look of terror.
Are these two female demons?
The Crown Prince, who had been watching the commotion behind them, now silently squeezed his legs together and looked at Ying Yufu with a deep gaze.
Ying Yufu was completely oblivious to the Crown Prince's unusual behavior and continued to sneer at Yuan Jingchen.
A dagger appeared in Shangguan Fei's hand.
Yuan Jingchen stared wide-eyed in horror.
Shangguan Fei sneered: "Trying to scheme against me? You'll have to see if you're even capable of it."
Ying Yufu looked disdainful: "Big cousin, cut him off. I'll ask His Highness the Crown Prince to find him a job in the palace, like in the Imperial Household Department."
"Fu'er is so kind," Shangguan Fei said.
She walked towards Yuan Jingchen.
"Let me see what you have to offer that you dare to covet me."
A mischievous glint flashed in Shangguan Fei's eyes.
Ying Yufu asked, "Big Cousin, do we even need to look at his assets? Living in this secluded courtyard, it's obvious he's not favored and has no resources."
Shangguan Fei looked at her with affection in her eyes.
The crown prince looked at her, his eyes blazing with fury.
Wu Linggu looked at her, thinking, "Princess Anguo is so innocent."
Ying Yufu blinked. "Am I wrong?"
Why is everyone looking at her?
Shangguan Fei smiled and said, "Yes, Fu'er is right."
She turned to look at Yuan Jingchen, her expression instantly changing. "With such poor financial resources, I suppose you wouldn't mind becoming a eunuch in the palace?"
"Wow—help me..."
Yuan Jingchen broke down.
God knows what he's been through right now.
Not only did they want to cut his losses, but they also said he had no resources.
Yuan Jingchen was filled with shame, indignation, and immense fear.
These people are demons, they are demons!
How could he have ever thought of plotting against Shangguan Fei? He was so stupid!
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully slapping Yuan Jingchen in the face and making him back down. The system rewards you with 1000 points! Your original points were 20470, and your current points are 21470.]
Ying Yufu was stunned.
The mission is complete, which means that Yuan Jingchen really gave up after realizing the difficulty.
It seems they've successfully intimidated her.
However, this task actually gives you 1000 points!
It was far more than she had imagined.
[Host, don't be surprised. If you don't complete this task, Yuan Jingchen might succeed.]
It's true that your eldest cousin is a favored daughter of heaven, but the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion is too conspicuous, and Yuan Bujin is the future Minister of Personnel chosen by Emperor Cangxuan. Even your maternal grandfather has to give Yuan Bujin some face.
Ying Yufu's face immediately turned cold.
"1000 points changed the potentially unfortunate fate of your older cousin. Not much," Xiao Dian said earnestly.
Ying Yufu gasped and said, "Xiao Dian, I understand, thank you."
Ying Yufu glanced at her older cousin, her eyes slightly red.
