The system asked me to chase his wife

Qiao Yuandong felt that Xia Mang was acting strange recently.

What's the blame?

Is this girl a little too enthusiastic towards me?
Regardless of whether Xia Mang should be on duty or not, she would always rush to do the work, and her every word and action revealed a special kind of diligence.

"Ma'am, are you cold?"

"Ma'am, are you hungry?"

"Ma'am, are you thirsty?"

When Qiao Yuandong was practicing calligraphy, Xia Mang was grinding ink beside him. Although the ink she ground often required Qiao Yuandong to grind it again, Qiao Yuandong never stopped this counterproductive behavior.

When Qiao Yuandong was eating, Xia Mang would rush to serve the dishes, and she would always be persuaded by Xia Mang to eat half a bowl of rice.

Even when Qiao Yuandong went out, Xia Mang would kindly remind her to be careful on the steps.

Something's wrong! Something is very wrong!

Hasn't this girl's monthly salary been increased? Why is she still like this?

Qiao Yuandong couldn't figure it out, so he called Xia Mang over. When Xia Mang saw Qiao Yuandong, she smiled so hard that her teeth were showing: "Madam, what's the matter?"

Qiao Yuandong asked her, "You haven't gotten into trouble recently, have you?"

Xia Mang scratched his head: "No, I've been very well behaved recently."

Qiao Yuandong then asked again: "What favor do you want to ask from me?"

Xia Mang was even more confused. She thought about her current life and felt that it was already pretty good. She earned a lot of points every day and her boss also gave her a raise. What else was there to be dissatisfied about?

Qiao Yuandong looked at her for a while, then suddenly asked, "Do you want to get married?"

Xia Mang choked and waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, I'd rather stay with you forever, Madam, please don't ask me to get married!"

This is the true word, she can't leave the Duke's Mansion, and she is counting on Qiao Yuandong to earn points!
After hearing Yu Xia Mang's answer, Qiao Yuandong felt inexplicably happy. She looked at Xia Mang with a smile on her lips and asked, "Then why have you been so attentive these past two days?"

Xia Mang raised his eyes and glanced at Qiao Yuandong, then looked away guiltily after meeting her meaningful gaze.

She treats her wife as a points baby.

Of course, the truth cannot be told to anyone!
Xia Mang cleared his throat and expressed his loyalty to his leader: "You are my beloved wife. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?"

As he said this, he gave Qiao Yuandong a smile that was as sincere as possible.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yuandong lowered his head and adjusted his sleeves, which just happened to cover the raised corners of his lips.

"What a clever girl, she only knows how to say coaxing words!"

Xia Mang didn't care about being exposed by Qiao Yuandong for her flattery, and just climbed up the ladder: "Madam, you really have a keen eye!"

Qiao Yuandong said with a smile: "Go and have fun. Don't stand in front of me. You're making me dizzy."

Xia Mang knew that she wanted to be alone for a while, so she servilely brought over the books that she liked to read and placed them on the table, then went to play happily.

Of course, we should cherish the benefit of paid vacation!

Qiao Yuandong waited until she left, the faint smile on his lips still not fading. He picked up the book that Xia Mang had brought, opened the title page, and found a piece of folded drawing paper inside.

Qiao Yuandong put down the book and unfolded the thin drawing paper, which showed a dark, ugly round moon.

There are two lines of poetry inscribed next to the moon; the beautiful handwriting is totally out of tune with the rough painting style.

Qiao Yuandong looked at the painting that was so ugly that it was almost funny, and smiled for a while and said, "What a girl who knows how to please others."

But soon, Qiao Yuandong found that Xia Mang's enthusiasm was gone.

Not only did Xia Mang look listless, he was also unwilling to rush to do the work, and sometimes he would even ask Rong Zhu to take his place.

Qiao Yuandong, who had just gotten used to Xia Mang's hospitality, suddenly felt uncomfortable again.

Tsk, what an unstable child, hot at one moment and cold at the next!

Qiao Yuandong hesitated for a moment, but still called Xia Mang over. Xia Mang came to see Qiao Yuandong without knowing what was going on: "Madam, do you want to see me for something?"

Qiao Yuandong looked at Xia Mang's expression and asked hesitantly, "Have you encountered any difficulties recently?"

Xia Mang's eyebrows jumped. She glanced at Qiao Yuandong quickly and then looked away, wondering how on earth did the lady see that?

She had indeed encountered a very troublesome situation recently.

This story started with her and Xiang Xiukai working together to earn points. They had previously worked together to research an effective task and successfully exploited a loophole in the host computer.

However, after a few days of good times, the host seemed to discover that system 0501 was always issuing repetitive tasks, which aroused the host's suspicion.

The host issued another warning, saying that system 0501 was suspected of stealing points.

The good news is that this time it was just a warning and no points were confiscated. The bad news is that in order to fill the loophole, the host released a new "System Law".

The original System Law, which had more than 3,000 articles, has increased to 4,000 articles.

How should I put it? By forcing the host to change the laws with his ability, Xiang Xiukai's new system has reached a new height!
The problem now is that according to the new "System Law", the tasks issued by the system must not be highly repetitive.

What this means is that if Xia Mang sends flowers to Qiao Yuandong now, it will meet Xiang Xiukai's goal of making the target happy, and he will get points.

If you want to send flowers to earn points tomorrow, you can’t do that.

As a result, Xia Mang's speed in earning points was greatly reduced, but fortunately he had accumulated a lot of points in the past few days.

Apart from buying medicine for the lady, Xia Mang still has a huge sum of 25,000 points!

Twenty-five thousand may seem like a lot, but it's not enough to spend. The lady's medicine is a huge expense. Now that she has no source of points, she won't be able to afford it for long.

In the past few days, Xiang Xiukai thought about all the tasks he could think of, and could hardly think of any new tasks that were not repetitive.

Isn't this a difficult matter?
Seeing Xia Mang's expression, Qiao Yuandong knew that she had guessed most of the way right, so she couldn't help but say, "If you have any difficulties, you can tell me."

She is just a little girl, what kind of trouble could that possibly cause her? At worst, I can just step forward and handle it for her.

Xia Mang choked. Could she tell Qiao Yuandong about this?

Of course not!

She hesitated for a long time and could only evade the question by saying, "Madam, you are worrying too much. I am fine."

Qiao Yuandong was stunned. Seeing that Xia Mang still refused to tell her her secrets after she had said so much, she could not help but feel a little depressed. She did not say much for a while, and after a while, she took out a pea green satin purse embroidered with bamboo patterns and gave it to her.

There were two five-liang silver ingots in the purse. Xia Mang knew it as soon as he took it and touched it.

"This is for you to use in case of emergency. If it's not enough, you can ask me for more."

Upon hearing this, Xia Mang realized that Qiao Yuandong wanted to help her because she was in trouble, and she was touched for a moment.

What a great leader!

If this happened in modern times, where could we find such a leader who is sensible, good-tempered, good-looking, generous, willing to give salary increases and take on responsibilities?

Xia Mang looked at Qiao Yuandong with sparkling eyes, and began to wonder if he had been too cold to his wife recently.

When there are points to be earned, they rush to please, but when there are no points to be earned, they just ignore it.

Yeah? It seems a bit scumbag. What's going on?

"That lady."

Xia Mang tried to restore the master-servant relationship, but Qiao Yuandong picked up the book at hand and said calmly: "You go, I'll stay by myself for a while."

Xia Mang: “.”

Xiang Xiu'an only had time to go home during the ten-day break, so the task of taking the lady's medicine every seven days fell on Xia Mang.

It was time to take medicine again that day, so Xia Mang went to the main courtyard to see the lady.

When the old lady saw her "eldest grandson" coming to deliver medicine, she sent everyone else away and greeted him lovingly for a long while, and also expressed her concern about the relationship between her "grandson" and his wife.

Xia Mang felt a little guilty when she thought of Qiao Yuandong.

Although Qiao Yuandong was always dignified and gentle when meeting everyone, Xia Mang felt that she was distancing herself from him.

Unable to find the problem, she could only state the facts: "I seem to have upset the Madam."

The old lady was very disappointed when she saw her silly look. She tapped Xia Mang's head and said, "You have been good at wielding swords and guns since you were a child. Why are you so stupid when it comes to these things?"

Xia Mang was confused and wondered when he had ever wielded a sword or a gun. After thinking about it, he remembered that the lady was talking about Xiang Xiukai.

She followed the old lady's meaning and said with a smile: "Grandma taught me that my grandson is stubborn and stubborn!"

As soon as the words fell, Xiang Xiukai's dissatisfied voice came into his mind: "Who are you picking?"

Xia Mang ignored him at all.

The lady said, "Grandma, don't you know me? As a grandmother, I have to teach you more about the relationship between men and women."

"For a man to please a woman, all he has to do is give her things she likes, such as pearls, hairpins, and flowers. The most important thing is to please her. What about you?"

The lady looked Xia Mang up and down and paused: "You have been away from Dong Niang for so many years, you don't remember what she likes, but it doesn't matter, grandma will tell you quietly."

For the sake of her "eldest grandson's" happy life, the old lady took great pains to teach him how to please his grandson's wife.

Xia Mang sat obediently beside the lady, and what went in one ear went out the other.

Anyway, these words were meant for Xiang Xiukai, so what does it have to do with her?

After sitting with the lady for a while, she urged her "eldest grandson" to practice the moves according to the music sheet, so Xia Mang had to leave.

While walking on the road, Xia Mang once again looked at her points page. Looking at the points that only went out and not in, she felt a little headache.

"What should I do? I have completed all the tasks I can do. Where else can I earn points?"

In order to gain points, Xia Mang and Xiang Xiukai even took advantage of Xiang Xiu'an.

"I figured it out!" Xiang Xiukai suddenly said, "After listening to grandma's words today, I suddenly felt enlightened!"

Xia Mang was excited when he heard this: "Do you have a plan?"

She didn't hear Xiang Xiukai's answer, but the long-lost ding-dong sound rang in her mind.

'Ding, the system task has been released. Please go to see the stars with the target person Qiao Yuandong.'

Xia Mang: '???'

'Is this what you came up with?'

Xiang Xiukai said calmly: "My grandmother taught me that. The tasks are not repeated and they are in line with my wishes. They are completely compliant!"

As if to demonstrate his cleverness, he then came up with several more tasks.

'Ding, the system task has been released. Please go to the moon watching with the target person Qiao Yuandong.'

'Ding, the system task has been released, please host to cook for the target person Qiao Yuandong.'

'Ding'

Xia Mang looked through the tasks in silence, and after a moment of patience, he reminded her: "Don't forget what your grandmother taught you. You are issuing tasks according to what she said. What's the difference between this and asking me to chase your wife?"

Who would have thought that Xiang Xiukai was more open-minded about this matter than Xia Mang.

"For the sake of my grandmother's life, this is the only option left." At this point, Xiang Xiukai asked, "You don't mind, right?"

"I'm fine, but I'm afraid of you."

"It's okay. I thought that since I became her husband, I should treat her well. But fate made me have no chance. Now you do it for me. It can be regarded as fulfilling my wish on my behalf."

Xia Mang listened to Xiang Xiukai's righteous words and joked, "Aren't you afraid that your wife will really fall in love with me?"

But Xiang Xiukai said, "If she really has someone in her heart, no matter who it is, I can put my mind at ease."

Xia Mangwan didn't expect Xiang Xiukai to take it seriously, and immediately quit: "No, big brother! I was just kidding, I only sell my art, not my body!"

Xiang Xiukai was silent for a while, then said unhappily: "What's the point of selling yourself? It's not that serious. Isn't it enough for you to just treat her as your friend?"

Xia Mang thought about it and it seemed to be true. It wasn't impossible to accompany friends to watch the moon and stars, right?
With this thought, Xia Mang quickly overcame the obstacle in her heart. Before accepting the task, she even emphasized: "This is pure friendship, don't think too much!"

I don't know who he is comforting.
