Unknown Intrusion

Chapter 71 The Woman from Her Past Life

"System, enter!"

"A grand dream spanning millennia, unaware that one is merely a guest."

A faint white light appeared, and the light curtain gradually spread outward, rippling in the air. As it passed the porch, two lanterns hanging on the porch suddenly burst into flame.

The warm and gentle light dispelled the chill and darkness, illuminating the courtyard.

Su Yu looked around. The bookshelf was originally very empty, but now it suddenly had hundreds of books.

*Introduction to Spells*, *Herbal Recognition and Medicine*, *Schools of Witches*, *Monster Handbook*, *The Book of Potions*, *Exorcism Notes*, *The Alchemy Record*, *Griffin Breeding Method*, *Ode to Dreams*, *Forest School Secret Medicine*

"Just like last time, most of them are tin books, and a few are copper books, representing intermediate and advanced knowledge. We brought them all in!"

Su Yu casually picked up "Identifying Herbs and Asking About Medicines," skimmed through it, and a few seconds later, a faint, clear light appeared before his eyes. Within the light were illusory figures, resembling a semi-transparent light screen.

"This is professional knowledge. Do you wish to spend Gray Crystals to learn it?"

"no!"

Su Yu didn't know whether to take it or not. He didn't have the energy or the gray crystal. He looked around wearily and realized that it was late at night.

In the vast library, only Su Yu remained. Even though it wasn't raining, one could hear the faint sound of wet, cool raindrops hitting the window.

Even with thick, dark gray curtains blocking the view, it still felt cold.

Looking at everything here, Su Yu couldn't help but exhale a slight breath of stale air. There were so many books here!
Unlike outside libraries, most of the books there are skill books.

Service skills were the most numerous, followed by social knowledge, and then esoteric knowledge.

It couldn't compare to the libraries Su Yu had visited before his transmigration, but compared to small libraries, the Song family's library was already quite large.

Although this "large" is relative.

However, just by considering the world's attitude towards books, it is clear that Song Shuying's family was quite "wealthy" in terms of book collection.

The collection contains at least tens of thousands of books, and it is estimated that each book is not a superficial book that can be found on the market. This is an enormous treasure.

Any nobleman with such a large fortune, as long as his descendants are even slightly reliable, would not have fallen into ruin within a few generations.

If Su Yu hadn't possessed a cheat code, with the same impressive talent he had before awakening, he might have only reached a mediocre level.

Want to climb to a level similar to that of the descendants of nobles?
The effort required, and the luck needed, both need to be doubled.

"Try to read everything on the second floor."

"Read a few books selectively on the first floor."

Holding a lamp, Su Yu slowly approached the nearest bookshelf and began to browse through the books one by one.

In the vast library, only his footsteps could be heard, accompanied by the occasional sound of turning pages.

Su Yu reads extremely fast because he has a "golden finger" – books that others would need to read slowly can be quickly "digested" by Su Yu.

A faint, cold aura approached Su Yu as he was engrossed in "harvesting" books.

"This is the first time I've ever seen someone read a book like this." Seemingly surprised by Su Yu's way of turning the pages, she appeared and exclaimed with some emotion.

She thought that after she spoke, the boy who had been taking down and flipping through books would give some kind of response.

Whether it's shock, vigilance, or guilt, whatever the reaction, at least some kind of response is necessary.

As a result, Su Yu only glanced at her before quickly looking away, putting back the book he had just finished flipping through, and then picking up another book.

woman:"……"

Isn't this reaction a little off?
Although her ability to appear here so quietly already indicated her relationship with the Song family, Su Yu's reaction was still far too calm.

Putting everything else aside, didn't Su Yu have any objections to what she just said?

"Because you look a lot like Song." Su Yu said without looking up.

The mysterious woman was slightly startled. Had she accidentally blurted out her true feelings?
Just as she was trying to recall, Su Yu continued, "You didn't say it, but I guessed it."

It was as if every reaction she made was exactly what Su Yu had anticipated.

This inexplicable feeling of being stunned by a young man was a rare experience for the mysterious woman.

She was already somewhat curious about this young man, especially since Su Yu's talent had surprised her.

It was quite unexpected that such a talented person could appear in such an ordinary place.

It was she who, after being alarmed, persuaded Song Shuying to keep the boy and let him read books in the Song family library for 24 hours.

All of this was arranged by her.

Her purpose was to see what surprises this ordinary captain's son could bring her.

Indeed, it did.

The mysterious woman's gaze as she scrutinized Su Yu grew increasingly serious.

"It's really you!"

Su Yu seemed completely unsurprised by the appearance of this mysterious woman. This wasn't all an act; upon seeing the same mysterious woman who had sent him the invitation in his previous life, he felt more like he had expected it.

It's just unknown what the relationship is between this mysterious woman and Song Qiongyao.

"You think I look a bit like Qiong Yao? That's not wrong, I'm her aunt, so it's natural that we resemble each other somewhat." The mysterious woman paused for a moment, then explained with a smile, "My name is Li Ningzhuang!"

This mysterious woman is not Song Qiongyao's mother?
Su Yu was genuinely surprised this time.

He always felt that she was more likely to be Song Qiongyao's mother.

His inability to meet Song Qiongyao's mother during his visits to the Song family reinforced this suspicion.

It turned out he was wrong?
"What, do you think I'm Qiong Yao's mother?" Finally seeing a hint of surprise on the young man's face, the mysterious woman felt inexplicably gratified.

"You probably won't see Qiong Yao's mother again..."

Why can't we see Qiong Yao's mother? Is there some hidden reason?
"Speaking of which, do you think these books are a lot?"

"A lot!" Su Yu admitted frankly. These were all professional books, which would have been quite a lot even in his previous life.

"This is all part of my dowry!" Li Ningzhuang exclaimed with emotion.

"..." Su Yu frowned as he flipped through the book. Did this mean he was dead, or had he left?
The dowry was left here, does that mean she's dead?

He found it strange; such a background was rare, even from a baron's family, so he could understand it as part of the dowry.

Considering that the Song family was originally just an ordinary knightly family, but under Song Shuying's leadership it was promoted to Baron, and it seems that they even want to aim for Baron, then the important factors behind this are obvious.

It's not just about ability.

Even Song Qiongyao's vague status as the heir can be understood.

Instead of simply getting married and that's it.

It should be noted that most noble girls, even only daughters, do not have inheritance rights!
