Chapter 197 Southern Qi
【bias?】
Qian Qian raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Zhaoyue intently.
She had a voluptuous figure, almond-shaped eyes, willow-shaped eyebrows, a seductive look on her face, and an indescribable charm at the corner of her lips.
[Yes,] the system said coldly, [After Li Zhaoyue gave birth to Xiao Wu and Ah Man, her mentality became somewhat distorted.]
[She was originally ambitious and vowed to return to Southern Qi for revenge.]
[But she gave birth to a girl, and girls had a very low status in Southern Qi.]
[In the Southern Qi Dynasty, almost all families with girls treated them as slaves.]
[In general, when girls turn twelve or thirteen, they will be arranged to marry, and the girls will be sold for a few taels of silver in exchange for the betrothal gift.]
【Then, she used the money from selling her daughter to arrange a marriage for the boy in her family.】
[Alas,] the system sighed, [Although Li Zhaoyue is a talented woman of Southern Qi, she cannot escape the mainstream ideology that men are superior.]
[When she saw that she had given birth to a girl, she didn’t like Ah Man very much. 】
[Don’t you like it very much?] Qian Qian hugged Ah Man and tilted his head to look at her.
Ah Man's eyes were completely on Qian Qian. She had a pair of clear black and white, watery and sparkling eyes.
At this moment, I was looking at the money with eyes full of appreciation.
Qianqian's face turned red when she was stared at like that.
The look she gave Li Zhaoyue was not good. At this time, Ouyang Nanxin slowly walked into the courtyard, lifting her skirt.
She looked at Li Zhaoyue, who was kneeling in front of the princess, with confusion, and bowed to Qian Qian.
Qian Qian waved his hand to refuse the formality and asked Lin Jin to give him a seat.
Deliberately ignoring Li Zhaoyue, she turned her head to look at Ouyang Nanxin, "Where are Li Hu and the others?"
Ouyang Nanxin immediately reported back, "Princess, if nothing goes wrong we will be able to reach Stone City at noon tomorrow."
When Li Zhaoyue heard the word "Princess", her eyes flashed.
Qian Qian then asked, "Where is Miss Luo?"
"She," Ouyang Nanxin smiled faintly, "will also arrive tomorrow, maybe a little later than Li Hu and the others."
Qian Qian nodded, not looking at Li Zhaoyue, and continued to ask the system, [Has Li Zhaoyue ever abused Ah Man? ]
Qianqian couldn't bear to see Ah Man become so skinny.
The system is indifferent. [It's not abuse, but it will beat and scold Ah Man for no reason. ]
[Fortunately, Ah Man is a little wizard destined by heaven, and his mind and thinking are different from those of ordinary children.]
[If this were a child with a fragile heart, he would have been tortured to death long ago. ]
Qian Qian glanced at Li Zhaoyue who was still kneeling, [Does Li Zhaoyue know Ah Man's identity? ]
[She didn't know that] the system also admired Ah Man, [even though Ah Man was young, she had a clear mind.]
[She has never shown her natural power to anyone except you.]
Qian Qian paused and looked at A Man in surprise for a long time.
Little A'man had a shiny little bald head and blinked his big eyes at Qianqian.
Qian Qian smiled at her and rubbed her thin cheek with his hand, "Are you hungry?"
Ah Man's eyes flashed, he stammered for a long time, pouted his lips and looked at Qian Qian's expression carefully.
Then, Qian Qian heard a very low and childish voice.
"I had breakfast, so I'm a little hungry now."
Money money...
Eyes widened in shock.
[Tongzi? Why did Ah Man suddenly speak? ]
The system was also puzzled. He said thoughtfully, "Little Princess, you know my ability to eat melons."
[Now, I have a wider range of melons to eat, and I can even eat most people's predicted melons. ]
Qian Qian nodded, [I know, then what? ]
[But, regarding the little wizard, I can’t eat the foreknowledge melon. ]
[Even, I couldn't eat her melons because I was so far away. ]
Qian Qian thought for a moment, [Is it possible that it’s because she’s a little wizard? ]
[There is only one person like this in our world, right? ]
[Does she have a protection mechanism of her own? ]
The system is not sure either. [It is possible, or maybe she is protected by the rules of the world?]
Qian Qian looked at Ah Man and said, "Then Ah Man, would you like to eat with me?"
Ah Man turned his head to look at Li Zhaoyue, and when he met the other's warning eyes, he looked at Qian Qian.
The voice was still light and soft. "Ah Man, I don't like it." She paused, "Change your name?"
"Ok?"
Qian Qian was a little confused and thought about it for a while.
"You mean, you don't like the name Ah Man? Do you want to change it?"
"Yes," Ah Man nodded heavily, "Give me some money to pick one."
Money money...
The system exclaimed, [Little Princess, how did she know your nickname? ]
[I'm sure no one has ever mentioned your nickname in front of Ah Man.]
Qian Qian was surprised for a moment, then smiled.
[He is a little wizard, he must be different from ordinary people. ]
She rubbed Ah Man's little bald head again, and it felt quite comfortable.
"Okay," Qian Qian grinned at Ah Man, "I'll help you change your name later."
"Your Highness," Li Zhaoyue immediately said flatteringly, "Ah Man is just a girl with a lowly status, how can she be worthy of you?"
"How dare you." It was not Qian Qian's turn to speak, so Lin Jin, who was serving beside her, shouted at her, "Don't speak nonsense in front of the princess."
Li Zhaoyue immediately lowered his forehead to the ground and dared not say anything more.
Qian Qian asked Ouyang Nanxin to take A'man downstairs to wash their hands, and then looked at Li Zhaoyue again.
[Tongzi, you said Li Zhaoyue is prejudiced against Daxia. What kind of prejudice is that?]
[Alas,] the system was a little angry, [the attitude of the Southern Qi royal family towards Daxia is that they have always wanted to annex Daxia.]
[The idea they instilled in the people was that they must conquer Daxia and make it a pasture for Southern Qi.]
[Before Daxia invented cement and built city walls on a large scale, the Southern Qi often sneaked into Daxia's border villages.]
[They would steal villagers in the village. As long as they found an opportunity, regardless of gender, age or youth, they would drug them and steal them to Southern Qi.]
[Stealing people? Then what? What did they do in Nanqi? 】
Qian Qian's face was cold and he was very angry.
[Stealing people to test drugs and conduct hypnosis experiments. ]
The system was also very angry. [Fortunately, the walls of Daxia have been built very tall and solid.]
[Therefore, few people from Southern Qi can easily enter the border area. ]
Qian Qian took a deep breath, [What does this Li Zhaoyue want to do? ]
[She,] the system sneered, [Oh, before she knew your identity, she had no plans.]
[Now that she knows your identity, she wants to cooperate with Ha Kyu. ]
[Let Ha Kyu help her get revenge, and then let her help Ha Kyu control you. ]
[Tsk,] Qian Qian shrugged, [This woman has a really big heart.]
[That's right, if she wasn't so daring, would she be able to thrive in the brothel? ]
Qian Qian took a deep breath and said, "Gold."
"The servant is here."
"Send Miss Li back."
"Your Highness," Li Zhaoyue was a little anxious, and happened to see Ah Man being led back to the princess by Ouyang Nanxin.
She hurriedly said, "Your Highness, this dead girl Ah Man was born with bad luck, please don't keep her around to offend you."
Qian Qian raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Jin.
Lin Jin nodded, walked towards Li Zhaoyue with a fierce look on his face, dislocated her chin with one hand, grabbed her shoulder with the other, and led her out of the courtyard.
