Chapter 796 [Mistress of the House 1]
"Welcome host back to the system space again! Please check the rich harvest you have obtained from this mission as soon as possible. Oh, I will not report it in detail this time. After all, the merits you have accumulated are already considerable, too many to count one by one. So now, host, do you want to take a rest first, or are you eager to receive important information about the new world?" 103's voice was crisp and loud, as if with a hint of smile.
Youyou was slightly stunned and blurted out: "It's so fast? It feels like I just completed the last task not long ago." There was a hint of surprise on her face.
"That's true, host. Time flies by without us noticing." 103 replied with a smile.
Youyou calmed herself down, then asked without hesitation: "Then let me see what the next world is like?" There was a gleam of curiosity and anticipation in her eyes.
"Okay, host. After precise matching and screening by the system, you are about to enter a world set in the feudal era. But I need to remind the host that in this world, people's attitude towards women is not very friendly." 103 explained in a slightly solemn tone.
"Hmm? What exactly is wrong with it? Tell me more about it in detail." Youyou frowned and asked.
"Shen Cuixi, the wife of the head of the Ren family, was not liked by Ren Xuetang. Ren Xuetang had someone he loved, Zeng Baoqin. They were childhood sweethearts. When Ren Xuetang's life and death were uncertain, Shen Cuixi supported the entire Ren family alone. Later, she met Wei Lianggong, the man she loved, but unfortunately they did not end up together. Wei Lianggong passed away. After Ren Xuetang came back, he asked for a divorce and gave the position of head of the family to Zeng Xueqin. He then opened a weaving room to teach female disciples techniques."
"Zeng Xueqin, the daughter of the third prefect, was Ren Xuetang's childhood sweetheart. Because her whole family was imprisoned, she became a prostitute for five years. Later, she became Ren Xuetang's mistress and gave birth to a son. Later, she became the mistress of the Ren Mansion."
"Cao Yaoniang, the daughter of prefect Cao Wenbin, had a golden bed built for her by her father since she was a child because of feudal ideas. She had to stay on it all the time and could not get down, otherwise she would be sorry for the ancestors of the Cao family. Later, because her father squandered all the family property, she ended up living in a brothel. When Cao Wenbin learned about this, he asked Cao Yaoniang to die to prove her innocence, because in Cao Wenbin's eyes, a woman's reputation was more important than life and death. That was the first time Cao Yaoniang rebelled and went against Cao Wenbin, taking the step of a feudal woman and completely becoming a brothel girl."
"What exactly are their wishes?" Youyou asked with a puzzled look, blinking her big curious eyes.
After thinking for a moment, 103 slowly said, "Let's talk about Shen Cuixi first. This woman has experienced many vicissitudes and hardships. Her greatest wish is to live for herself in this life, no longer bound by the feudal ethics, and she doesn't want to step into the door of the Ren family again and be imprisoned by marriage. She wants to live out herself. As for Zeng Xueqin, she has long been tired of being in that family full of misfortune and pain. She longs to get rid of her identity as a musician and live an ordinary life from now on. At the same time, she is no longer willing to marry Ren Xuetang, and only hopes to meet an ordinary man who truly loves her in this life. However, although Ren Xuetang loves Zeng Xueqin, he is too cowardly and never has the courage to give up everything for love. As for Cao Yaoniang, this kind girl is looking forward to her mother's divorce from her father, and then taking her mother away, away from this decadent and dark feudal society, to pursue the freedom and happiness that belongs to the mother and daughter."
"Hasn't Ren Cuixi ever expressed that she wants to be with Wei Lianggong?" Youyou blinked her big eyes and asked curiously.
"Not really. After all, the age gap between her and Wei Lianggong is too big. However, Ren Cuixi does have a small hope deep in her heart, which is that she hopes Wei Lianggong can have a healthy and strong body in his life and marry the woman he loves so much." 103 answered slowly.
"Is that so... Then, do I have to fulfill all the wishes of these three people?" Youyou frowned slightly and asked again.
"Host, you can take them all. But even if you can't complete them, your points will be deducted, and there will be no other impact." 103 nodded and responded affirmatively.
"But I can't accept it and fail to complete it. That would really damage my reputation. But adding all the things together is not an easy task to accomplish." Youyou couldn't help but look embarrassed and worried in her heart.
"Don't worry, dear host! You must keep up the good work. I have full confidence in you!" 103 encouraged You You with a smile.
"Then what is my identity?" Youyou blinked her big watery eyes and asked with a puzzled look on her face.
103 replied calmly, "Host, you have many choices. You can choose one of the three as your identity. Of course, if you don't like any of the three, you can choose a completely random identity!"
After hearing this, Youyou couldn't help but frown and muttered softly: "Oh, this is really a difficult problem! No matter which one I choose, it seems to be a difficult thing... I wonder if it is possible to customize a more special identity?" As she said that, she raised her head and looked at 103 again, her eyes full of anticipation.
103 was obviously a little surprised by Youyou's request, but it quickly responded: "Well...it's possible, but I don't know what kind of role you want to be, host?" It asked curiously.
Youyou thought about it for a while, and then said confidently: "I hope to become a character that has not appeared in the original novel - the eldest daughter of the Ren family, and also the biological sister of Ren Xuetang."
Hearing Youyou's unique idea, 103 was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded in agreement: "Okay, since the host has made up his mind, please prepare yourself. I will teleport you to that world in a moment."
Youyou took a deep breath, adjusted her state, and answered crisply: "Okay, no problem, let's go now!"
As soon as the words fell, 103 responded, "Okay!" Then, a dazzling light suddenly lit up, instantly enveloping Youyou. In the blink of an eye, Youyou disappeared without a trace along with the light.
……
Over the years, Youyou's life in the Ren family has been smooth sailing. Although some elders in the family always like to gossip and gossip, this has not caused Youyou too much trouble. As for those gossips, Youyou has always chosen to turn a deaf ear and focus on his own growth and development.
Since she entered this strange world, Youyou has shown extraordinary foresight and decisiveness. She knows that Zeng Baoqin has a bad fate, so she decisively sends her confidant to her side to prevent her from falling into the land of prostitutes and suffering. This care and protection not only demonstrates Youyou's kind and benevolent heart, but also foreshadows the possible intersection between the two in the future.
Shen Cuixi grew up in the Ren family and was carefully cultivated by Ren's mother to be the best candidate for the head of the family. Youyou was lucky enough to study kesi skills with Shen Cuixi, hoping to shoulder the responsibility of revitalizing the entire Ren family in the future. After all, Shen Cuixi's wish was to stop being the head of the family and return to a simple and peaceful life.
With unremitting efforts and extraordinary wisdom and strategy, Youyou gradually gained a firm foothold in the Ren Mansion and successfully controlled the right to speak. Even though the title of the head of the family was still given to Ren Xuetang, in fact, the real power was already firmly in the hands of Youyou. It is no exaggeration to say that at this time, Ren Xuetang was just the empty title of the head of the family.
Because of corruption, the Zeng family was confiscated and exiled by the new emperor. Because of Youyou, Zeng Baoqin was rescued by Youyou and raised in a separate courtyard, where her food, clothing, housing and transportation were all well arranged.
It was a sunny day, but there was a tense atmosphere in the Ren Mansion. It turned out that after careful consideration, Ren's mother decided to let her son Ren Xuetang marry Shen Cuixiang. She had her own calculations in mind. She felt that her daughter Ren Youyou had too much power in her hands. If she could find a wife for Ren Xuetang to check and balance, the situation would be much more stable. After all, after Ren Xuetang got married, his wife would be able to manage the entire Ren family with a reasonable and legal identity. Of course, Ren's mother was not deliberately guarding against her biological daughter Youyou. She just thought that her daughter would eventually marry and leave the Ren family, and the Ren family's industry still needed someone to take care of it properly.
However, Ren Xuetang was firmly opposed to his mother's arrangement. He frowned and said seriously, "Mother, I really cannot accept this marriage. There is no love between Miss Cuixi and me. If you force us together, it is not only unreasonable, but also extremely unfair to Miss Cuixi."
When Youyou heard what his elder brother said, he quickly agreed, "You are absolutely right, mother! You don't know that the one that my elder brother has always loved is Sister Zeng. They have known each other since they were young, and can be said to be childhood sweethearts. If my elder brother were to marry someone else, and if this were to get to Sister Zeng's ears, she would be so sad!"
Hearing this, Ren's mother couldn't help but sigh slightly. She knew very well that Zeng Baoqin and her son were in love, and Zeng Baoqin's family background in the past was indeed well matched with the Ren family. It was a pity that times had changed, and the Zeng family was now in decline, and Zeng Baoqin herself was also missing. In comparison, Shen Cuixi was a child she had watched grow up with her own eyes, so she naturally knew her character very well. So, Ren's mother persuaded Ren Xuetang earnestly, "Xuetang, mother understands your thoughts. But Zeng Baoqin's future is uncertain now, and our Ren family can't keep dragging it on like this. Cuixi is a gentle and virtuous child, well-educated, and first-class in terms of talent, appearance and character. If she becomes the mistress of our Ren family, she will definitely be able to manage the household in order."
