The male supporting character was actually myself.

"My dear host, your health is the most important thing. You need to rest well. You can look at the script later!" The little white cat was so touched when she saw him start studying the plot as soon as he lay down on the bed that she wiped away tears with a white handkerchief.

Jiang Chen coughed a few times and said weakly, "I really can't rest."

The protagonist moves at a fast pace; if one plan fails, he'll come up with another.

If I don't thoroughly understand the original plot, I'm afraid I'll have a hard time stopping it.

Keep an eye on the item shop; if there are any items that can be used to repair your body, don't miss them.

"Okay, host, I'll keep an eye on things for you!" The little white cat threw away the white handkerchief and stepped on his shoulder.

He took a break and didn't put the script away until it was almost evening.

"Sigh, the original owner most likely had congenital heart disease and multiple underlying conditions;

Based on the plot, it's likely that Master Xue is currently in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, which explains his stubbornness, obsession, and tendency to get stuck on trivial matters. Furthermore, with the protagonist's halo surrounding him, it's no wonder he's so eager to hand over his entire fortune.

The little white cat was stunned. "Huh? In such a large Xue family, only this father and son are sick?"

No wonder the protagonist targeted him to steal his entire fortune.

[Mission: Prevent Master Xue from giving Lin Mubai silver; hold out for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea. Reward: One-time use B-grade item]

The task suddenly issued by the main system startled Jiang Chen slightly. "Xiao Bai, is this a duplicate task?"

"No, no, host." The little white cat hurriedly explained, "It is indeed the second task, but it's exactly the same as the first one."

He quickly recalled the plot and laughed, "I'm afraid the same task will be issued before the script is updated."

After all, my existence is solely for vehemently opposing and stopping it, until I'm driven to my death by anger.

Let's go meet the main character!

After successfully completing the previous mission and preventing Master Xue from giving away a huge reward, the protagonist quickly changed his strategy. Lin Mubai, along with his two children, greeted Master Xue under the pretense of passing by.

The old man happily hugged the little girl and wouldn't let go, delighted that he wanted to give her an "education fund".

In the story, Xue Gongzi's attempt to stop them failed and instead caused the father and son to become enemies.

After taking the opportunity to meet the sickly young master, the protagonist Lin Mubai, based on modern knowledge, judged that the young master had a congenital heart disease and would not live long. So he fawned over Master Xue and successfully angered Master Xue to death, thus taking over the young master's place.

In their first clash, the lead actor and the best supporting actor, Lin Mubai emerged victorious.

Having received three hundred taels of "educational funds," he began to aggressively acquire raw materials to make soap and amass wealth...

"When two armies meet on a narrow road, you're after money and I'm after life. We can only see who has the better methods!" Jiang Chen sighed, took a deep breath, and changed his clothes.

Just then, a maidservant outside the door reminded him, "Young master, the master has ordered dinner. Would you like to go and eat?"

Jiang Chen opened the door and said in a weak voice, "Please lead the way."

Chapter Four reveals all, and I just like it.

"Our young master is exceptionally talented and also possesses an elegant and handsome appearance. What a pity..."

"Xiuwen has only been with the young master for a few years, yet he speaks eloquently! But aren't you afraid of being slapped for talking about your master behind his back?"

"Young master is magnanimous; he won't be angry."

"If our young master weren't sick, he'd be more than qualified to be a prince consort!"

"You can't just say things like that!"

……

As the young master of the Xue family walked by, several servants whispered among themselves in a corner, only dispersing after being scolded a few times by the steward, Lao Zhong.

"As expected of a wealthy family, their understated luxury is truly impressive." Lin Mubai, holding his two children's hands, stood in the hall without any fear, dressed in coarse cloth.

He looked left and right, examining the carved galleries and the dazzling array of decorations. It would be a lie to say he wasn't envious.

When others transmigrate, they are either princes or nobles, or at the very least, they come from wealthy and well-off families.

But when it happened to him, he woke up to find his home destitute and he could only make a living by selling steamed buns.

His wife was also pale, thin, and looked poor.

In his previous life, he was a top student in the science and engineering department. He hadn't even been in a relationship yet, and now he was going to be the father of two crying babies. The feeling was incredibly uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the two children were very well-behaved and clever. She had a flash of inspiration and taught them some jokes she had seen in short videos from her previous life.

Sure enough, the human cubs really did attract customers. The business of selling pancakes not only got better day by day, but he even got to know the richest man in Jinzhou City because of it!

He had it all planned out.

He certainly didn't want to continue selling pancakes for long. First, he wouldn't starve, but he wouldn't make a lot of money either. Second, when he started hawking his wares, he would think of Wu Dalang, and he was even worse off than Wu Dalang, who had a beautiful wife.

Lin Mubai knew very well what he needed.

A large sum of money could cover the family's daily expenses while also allowing him to attend school and learn to read and write.

He felt that with his intelligence, he could master the world's languages ​​in a few months, and then he could make a lot of money whether he was writing poetry, lyrics, or copying novel stories!

Furthermore, while learning, one can also transfer their previous life's science and engineering knowledge.

You can easily make a fortune by simply making soap, brewing wine, or making glass.

In order to obtain start-up capital, someone like me, who is at the bottom and powerless to turn my life around, has no choice but to resort to some means.

Lin Mubai had already thought it all out. It was said that the sickly young master Xue Jiangchen wouldn't live much longer, and the Xue family had no other children. As long as he could gain Xue's trust, he would take care of him in his old age and let his daughter accompany him to enjoy family life; Xue's family property would belong to him.

I'll support you in your old age, and you'll give me your assets. We each get what we need—perfect!

Of course, all of this is predicated on the sick young master dying early, so that Master Xue can experience the pain of losing his son and feel his own sincerity.

Waiting patiently isn't out of the question, but Lin Mubai, accustomed to a comfortable modern life, is utterly disgusted with his home and wife, which reek of sour smells. He doesn't want to wait for Xue Jiangchen's health to deteriorate little by little.

The Xue family has plenty of money. What if they use various ginseng and lingzhi to prolong their lives for three to five years? Then I'll just have to wait around.

After careful consideration, Lin Mubai decided to test the waters again.

So after selling all the steamed buns, he didn't go home but instead took his two children and went around to greet Master Xue.

Wouldn't it be perfect if we could take this opportunity to check on the sick young master's condition and then formulate a strategy based on the actual situation?

Sure enough, Master Xue fell in love with his daughter Nannan as soon as he saw her and ordered someone to keep her for a meal.

Lin Mubai also took the opportunity to sit in the Xue family's grand hall.

"Cough cough cough!" Before anyone was seen, the sound was heard. With a cough, the curtain was lifted, and Lin Mubai's sharp eyes fell on the sick young master Chu Jiangchen. His pupils narrowed slightly and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"Chen'er, this is Lin Mubai's daughter, Nannan." Master Xue smiled and held a little girl who was poorly dressed but had a soft and cute appearance.

She was about three or four years old, and she was very cute and sweet. She called him "Uncle" and then called him "Grandpa" repeatedly, tugging at the old man's beard and laughing.

There was also a slightly older little boy standing timidly beside his father, his head down, not daring to look at anyone.

Master Xue was too busy playing with the children to introduce himself, but Lin Mubai didn't show any timidity. He stood up, bowed, and said, "Greetings, Young Master Xue."

Jiang Chen glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, nodded slightly, and sat down in the seat of honor.

"Chen'er, there's something I want to discuss with you." The old man was clearly in a good mood, rubbing the little girl's hand as he looked at his sickly son.

The little white cat shivered, its fur standing on end. "Host, I didn't notice anything wrong before you pointed it out. But after you warned me, I still find the way that old man is holding the little girl so disgusting!"

“It just so happens that I also have something I want to discuss with my father.” Jiang Chen looked at Lin Mubai, who was neither sitting nor standing, with an indifferent gaze and said in a cold tone, “Someone, bring a table of food for the guests.”

Let the Lin father and his two sons go eat first.

Someone instructed Lin Mubai to go to the side hall, and a maid took the little girl Nannan from the master's arms and carried her there together.

Master Xue originally wanted to invite Nannan to have dinner with him, but thinking about the request he was going to make, he decided to ease the tension between father and son first.

After everyone had left, a table was set with fragrant and hot food. Master Xue spoke first, saying, "You saw that child too, he was absolutely adorable!"

I was thinking of letting her stay at the mansion for a few days, and she could come with me at night.

Lin Mubai was probably a little worried, so he left them with him.

Anyway, we have plenty of houses and we don't need his few extra bites of food. I was thinking of spending some time with Lin Mubai to see what kind of person he is.

If he's reliable, just assign him a job that's respectable and stable, and your child won't have to suffer from running around with him.

Furthermore, both children are three or four years old now, and it's time for them to start their early education. I'm planning to save some money for them; wouldn't it be a good deed to support the education of underprivileged children?

Wow, that's a ridiculous excuse; even the little white cat would roll its eyes at it.

In the story, the original owner was so angry about this abnormal relationship that she tried to reason with him to no avail and was unable to stop the villain from moving in. Feeling depressed and resentful, she vomited blood on the spot.

Master Xue's words have already been made clear.

He figured his son would definitely disagree and might make a scene again, so after saying that, he put on an expression that said, "I'm your father, you'd better think of your own words," and waited for his response.

Jiang Chen was naturally not angry.

If the protagonist hadn't been so eager to kill him off so he could seize the family fortune, he wouldn't have bothered with him at all.

If your physical condition doesn't allow it, why are you doing anything unnecessary instead of resting?

The problem is that if the protagonist wants to make money, he has to indirectly risk his own life.

Then let's cheer up and meet whatever comes our way.

"As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father, and no one knows a father better than his son. No matter what, we are still father and son."

I've always understood what you're thinking.

In all these years, apart from Aunt Zhao who committed suicide and Aunt Zhou who became a vegetarian and chanted Buddhist prayers, you have never taken another concubine.

Aside from the four head maids, the room was always staffed only with young maids.

The maids in the manor were released as soon as they reached a certain age.

Outsiders all say that Master Xue is considerate of his servants, but no one knows about your peculiar habits.

Lin Mubai's daughter is indeed adorable, but she's too young! Even if you take her in and raise her, it will take at least ten years. Can you endure that?

Chapter Five: A Sudden Change in Attitude

"Besides, you can't judge Lin Mubai's character just by getting to know him for a few days."

If you really like her, I support you in buying the little girl.

Our household only charges twenty taels for a well-trained maid. If you just want to have some fun, thirty taels of silver is enough for Lin Mubai.
