After hearing her gossip, all the civil and military officials went crazy.

Chapter 147 Three days later
Gu Wangyan simply stared at the finger, preparing to break it off in the next second.

Fang Lingchu also sensed Gu Wangyan's aura and quickly took his hand.

Chang Yingying was baffled by the insult and retorted directly, "Young Master Zhang, please watch your words. This Young Master Gu is a guest of our family. And who I am with is none of your business."

"My affairs are none of your business."

Zhang Sanqian never expected that Chang Yingying would dare to speak to him like that.

"Chang Yingying, don't forget, you're going to become my maid. Why can't I interfere in your affairs?"

Chang Yingying is not afraid of him at all now. She is his savior, and he treats her like this. He is indeed a heartless wretch who doesn't even know who saved him.

"Let's talk about it after this is over. We'll make a decision when my parents come back."

Just then, Chang Yingying's parents came in and, upon seeing Zhang Sanqian, instinctively became humble and subservient.

"Young Master Zhang, you've arrived. I'll go make you some tea."

Chang's father quickly went over to calm the person down, saying, "Yes, yes, how did things suddenly become so tense? Yingying, quickly apologize to Young Master Zhang."

Chang Yingying's eyes welled up with tears as she looked at her parents with a wronged expression and said, "He wants me to go to his house to be a maid, and he even falsely accused me of having an affair with Young Master Gu. Why should I apologize? Why should I apologize? It's just that I owe him money. I'd rather sell myself to a wealthy family than go to his house to be a maid."

When Zhang Sanqian heard Chang Yingying say this, he immediately became anxious and quickly stood up and said, "I didn't know he was your guest. Yingying, don't be impulsive. I just wanted you to sign a three-year indenture, which will be void after three years. I didn't mean to make you a slave."

Upon hearing his daughter's words, Chang Yingying's father immediately shielded the person behind him and said to Zhang Sanqian, "Young Master Zhang, the money is what this old man owes. If you have any problems, come at me. Don't make things difficult for my girl."

At this moment, Chang Yingying's mother also came out. After pouring water for them, she said, "If it really doesn't work, let this old lady go. Our Yingying is still young, and she won't be of much help. Young Master Zhang, please, could you give us a few more days?"

Zhang Sanqian seemed not to hear what the two elderly people were saying, and simply looked quietly at Chang Yingying.

Chang Yingying looked back without fear. Their eyes met in mid-air, but Zhang Sanqian finally gave in and said, "Let me think about it."

The tense atmosphere here didn't stop Fang Lingchu, the expert at gossiping, from enjoying the drama.

Pull Gu Wangyan aside and leave the battlefield to their family.

Meanwhile, someone was told to be careful not to let Zhang Sanqian's men start a fight, and then they went back to watching the drama unfold.

Zhang Sanqian's brother is at their house right now!
He only worked as a servant in his sister-in-law's courtyard during the day, and the two of them had marital relations at night.

Fang Lingchu became curious.

The others were also quite curious, since it was still at their house, why didn't Zhang Sanqian see it?

[Huh? Are they doing some kind of extreme sport? Aren't they afraid Zhang Sanqian will see them?]

The system said: "Now that servant's face is half pockmarked and distorted; how could anyone recognize him? Even his own mother wouldn't recognize him."

Fang Lingchu imagined it for a moment, then couldn't help but ask: "How could his sister-in-law bring herself to do it?"

The system said: "I don't know about that. They were playing around while the women were still pregnant! She almost lost the baby yesterday; things should calm down a bit these days."

Fang Lingchu clicked her tongue twice and continued, "Has Zhang Sanqian already fallen for the female lead?"

The system shook its head and said, "No, it's just that someone said he has so many women but no one, suspecting he's impotent or prefers men, so he's rushing to find a scapegoat."

Hearing this, Chang Yingying's eyes grew even colder, and she said, "Young Master Zhang, three days. I will definitely return the money to you in three days."

When Zhang Sanqian heard her say that, he looked up at Chang Yingying and asked, "What if you can't pay me back?" Chang Yingying said firmly, "Then I'll agree to go to your house as a maid."

When Chang Yingying's parents heard their daughter say this, they tried to stop her, but it was too late.

Zhang Sanqian has already agreed.

"Alright, it's a deal. Don't forget, Miss Yingying. Let's go."

Fang Lingchu, who watched the whole thing, was dumbfounded.

[Guagua, why is the plot different now? I haven't done anything yet, and Chang Yingying has already solved everything herself.]

The system sighed and said, "Host, it's not resolved; it's just been delayed by three days."

Fang Lingchu continued, "Guagua, does Zhang Sanqian have any melons related to increasing taxes?"

Upon hearing this word, Chang Yingying's eyes widened slightly as she comforted her parents while eavesdropping on Fang Lingchu's words.

If what the girl said is what she thinks, then they can return the money directly.

No need to worry about going hungry anymore.

The system said: "Let's eat slowly."

This Zhang Sanqian has quite a few scandals.

He seems to be good friends with the current county magistrate, and also with bandits, but there's no direct evidence to prove his connection to these things.

Fang Lingchu frowned and asked, "Why isn't it here? It used to be here."

The system said somewhat helplessly: "Host, he is the male lead. How could the male lead do things that harm the people? Even if he did it unconsciously, it's impossible for him to do it on purpose."

It's always the people around them who do the bad things, and then they reap the rewards. They just casually pull off a grand act of righteous indignation, sacrificing their own family to gain public favor—that's how the male lead is made.

Fang Lingchu: There's something I want to say, but I don't know if I should.

I'm truly baffled by the plot's logic. Why does the male lead have to be perfect? ​​Are there really people like that in the world?

So he's still involved in this, right?

The system said: "[I can't see it here, probably because he didn't have direct contact. His gossip all revolves around the plot, the female lead, and his sister-in-law. Later, after he became the boss, someone found out about the past. He originally planned to kill his two good brothers, but the news got out, and they killed each other. Their territory was then gradually taken over by others. That's how it ended.]"

Looking at the panel, Fang Lingchu wanted to say: No wonder he's an uncultured male lead. Without the female lead's help, he's doomed.

So the female lead still dies in the end?

The system said: "[Of course! The female lead was abused like that earlier; no matter how much she took care of her health later, it was already compromised. She just died peacefully.]"

Upon hearing this, Fang Lingchu could only say: Love-struck people are truly terrifying.

Afterwards, they took this information to the Crown Prince, and Fang Lingchu and the others stayed at Chang Yingying's house for two more days.

Please don't worry too much about the names of the male characters, because I didn't know what names to come up with, it's too much trouble. I just used random names, as long as they look funny. Thank you for your support!

(><) I love you all! Mwah, sending you love, my darlings!
