As for Su Mingli, he was, after all, his younger brother. Although Minister Su was annoyed, he still asked Madam Su to arrange a marriage for him early on, and then send him away to find another way out after the wedding!
He's already being very merciful by not killing him!
At the Changping Marquis's residence, during dinner time, the entire family sat together in neat rows.
Shen Changyuan was very happy; he and his daughter went out to dig for ginseng today!
"My lady, you have no idea. When we saw the wild ginseng, a huge snake suddenly appeared. I immediately shielded Mingzhu behind me and was about to fight the snake for eight hundred rounds... blah blah!"
Shen Qinghong: His dad is such a braggart!
Shen Qingbo: I can understand, I can understand!
Looking at her father's proud expression, Shen Jiaojiao clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms until they bled slightly.
"Lord Marquis is truly remarkable!"
Shen's mother was very supportive and praised Shen Changyuan at the right time, which made him very happy.
Turning to look at Shen Mingzhu, she said with a smile,
"Our Mingzhu is amazing too!"
Shen Mingzhu smiled sweetly at her mother.
Shen Mingzhu spoke very little all night, and even her inner thoughts seemed to have stopped flowing.
Shen Qinghong and Shen Qingbo exchanged a glance, both asking what was going on.
I heard that there was another disturbance at the Su residence of the Minister of Rites that night. Looking at the calm and composed Shen Mingzhu, the two of them ate their meals in silence without saying a word.
After the meal, Shen Mingzhu hurriedly returned to the courtyard.
She was ready to do some serious shopping.
Hehe~~~
[I'm a little fairy, lalalala... I'm busy from morning till night, but it's not tiring at all, simply because I'm a little fairy!!!]
Shen Qinghong: What?!
Shen Qingbo: Pshaw!
Shen Mingzhu first added two Recovery Pills, two Beauty Pills, two Swift Boots, and the Moon Shadow Phoenix Feather Cloak to her shopping cart.
Suddenly, Shen Mingzhu saw that a pet cat had been put on sale in the system store. It was snow-white and soft, with the ends of its fur faintly emitting a golden light. The cat's appearance was super cute, and it simply melted Shen Mingzhu's heart.
She rubbed my hands together and suddenly wanted to pet it!
Seeing how powerful and fiercely protective the big cat is now that it has grown up!
She felt that as the female lead's control group, it was absolutely necessary for her to buy it!
Shen Mingzhu then added it to her shopping cart!
After browsing around, she added all the super pills, protective jade, and universal detox pills to her shopping cart.
Looking at her points in the upper right corner, she had 15,600 points. She kept thinking about how to buy things at the best price.
Shen Mingzhu spent the whole night browsing the system's online store when suddenly an idea struck her.
[Guagua, can I borrow some points?]
[Host, you mustn't!]
[Guagua, let's talk this over! Don't be so stingy! We're a powerful duo. You don't want to be looked down upon by the other systems, do you?]
The gossip system has finally shaken off its millennium-long last place ranking and is thrilled!
After being struck by Shen Mingzhu's words, he immediately retorted.
[Host, what are you saying! I'm the most powerful system in the world, what's a few points? If you buy a lot, there will be free gifts!]
Shen Mingzhu's eyes lit up.
Wow!
The system's online store is just like Taobao's!
But for her, it's a good thing.
Wow! System, you're amazing! I'm so lucky to be able to bind with you!
[That's right, host, you're a lucky one! This system is just that powerful!]
After saying that, he gave a smug, almost arrogant, look.
[Hey Guagua, lend me 10,000,000 points first!]
[Host! ! ! ]
A crackling sound echoed in Shen Mingzhu's mind.
Host, can you count how many zeros are at the end?
[Guagua, don't be stingy! It's not like I'm not going to pay you back! At worst, I'll just eat melons every day from now on, eat as much melon as I can, and try my best to pay back the points, okay?]
The gossip-eating system: ...
It felt like it was about to explode with anger!
Shen Mingzhu: Those who aim high will achieve something in the middle; those who aim for the middle will achieve nothing!
The two sides still need to negotiate!
We definitely need to ask for more first!
[Host, I really underestimated you! You've really gone too far with your demands!]
[Guagua, don't say that. As the number one in the entire realm, I, as the host, definitely have to be the number one in loan points! That way, I'll be a better match for you! Otherwise, it'll be embarrassing if word gets out!]
The system was completely bewildered by Shen Mingzhu's words!
The host of his own seemed to be thinking of himself in every way, but something seemed off in every aspect.
[Host, you've borrowed too much! You need to reduce it by at least two zeros!]
Shen Mingzhu thought to herself, 100,000 points seems like a lot! She could buy quite a few things!
Besides, I only have 15,600 points right now!
Although she felt it was okay in her heart, she was still very unwilling on the surface.
[Guagua, that's too little! I can't buy that much! I want so many things!]
She just saw it; there were even peaches from the Queen Mother of the West! She really wanted to try them!
Waaaaah...
She also wanted to try the spiritual fruits and rice from the cultivation world!
She wants both beauty-enhancing pills and anti-aging elixirs!
There are also beautiful robes and hairpins that can protect you—all wonderful things!
Ahhh!
I don't have enough points!
What Shen's mother and the others in the nearby courtyard heard was Shen Mingzhu's inward wailing and howling!
I have no idea what she's doing.
They sent a maid to ask, but she said everything was fine!
Finally, Shen Qinghong stood up.
"Father, Mother, Fourth Brother, I have a headache, I'm going back now!"
Shen Qingbo then stood up as well.
"Father, Mother, I'm going with my eldest brother!"
"Then you should get some rest!"
The two bowed and left immediately...
After listening to their father's heroic story of killing snakes and digging up century-old ginseng all night, coupled with Shen Mingzhu's heartfelt words, they were a little tired.
Shen Changyuan didn't care about them; he would tell his colleagues about the dangers of that time tomorrow.
Shen Mingzhu never expected that her father had such a cute side.
...
Before dawn the next day, Shen Mingzhu began her court duties again.
She got into the carriage in a daze and followed her father into the palace.
Last night, Shen Mingzhu used 100,000 points to buy a bunch of things before midnight.
She bought the giant cat pet!!!
Recovery pills, all-purpose detox pills, super-strength pills, youth-preserving pills, beauty-enhancing pills—buy, buy, buy!
Protective jade, protective hairpins, cultivator robes, spiritual fruits, spiritual rice, and spiritual food—buy, buy, buy!
The Queen Mother of the West's peaches, celestial wine, and spiritual spring water—buy, buy, buy!
Swift Boots, Red Tassel Spear (a magical weapon), Spirit Sword—buy, buy, buy!
...
Excited, Shen Mingzhu shopped until 3 a.m. before finally going to sleep.
She couldn't wake up at all this morning!
As for Shen Changyuan, after parting with his sons last night, he remembered that he still needed to write a memorial to the throne, so he went straight to his study...
Today, both father and daughter were exhausted, but they still had to force themselves to attend court.
It's alright for Shen Changyuan, he is used to it!
Shen Mingzhu simply couldn't accept it!
She was a beast of burden in her past life, and now she's a young lady from a noble family, but she still has to get up early to go to work like a beast of burden!
She was not convinced!
