Chapter 114 Long live my emperor (1)
Nan Yue stayed in this world for another four or five years and trained a qualified successor.
Only then did she feel bored and asked 444 to take her away.
Gu Chen never married in his life, and even after Lu Xingzhou died, Nan Yue did not give him any chance to get close to him.
444 didn't want to stay in this world a long time ago. Although the target of the strategy is still there, and his favorability towards the host has been rising steadily over the years, but he is so old now, what's the point? Let him and the host have a short and sweet sunset romance?
But forget it.
Regardless of whether the host will do it or not, I am afraid that the favorability will not be 100% even after death.
This world is ruined, let’s move on to the next one.
Perhaps because of the promise she had made to Mr. Lu, Nan Yue felt a little strange in her heart during this teleportation.
After staying in this world for decades, she had a vague understanding in her heart about how to cultivate her mind.
In fact, sometimes you shouldn’t exclude yourself from the world too much…
She decided to be a little more serious in the next world.

The eighty-ninth year of the Da Ning Dynasty, late summer.
The Imperial City of Chaoge, the Mansion of Marquis Yongding.
The courtyard was filled with dark trees. The servants lowered their heads and walked in a very measured manner.
In the main hall of the back house, an old woman with gray hair was sitting on the main seat, and a simple-looking girl in a light green skirt was fanning her slowly.
The old woman took a sip of tea and said in a deep voice, "The imperial decree has been issued. Liu Lang will leave for Qi County the day after tomorrow at the latest. Why don't you go and see your Liu Lang more now, and bring Yue Niang to see me?"
As soon as Nan Yue arrived in the world, she heard the old woman's voice. She looked around calmly.
The old woman was obviously not talking to her.
The beautiful woman with a white hairband sitting on the chair next to her hesitated for a while after hearing this, and then she held her handkerchief and stammered: "Old lady, the journey to Qi County is long. I have inquired and found that there are bandits all along the way. Liu Lang is not good at martial arts and is young. How can he...take on this important task? How about..."
The woman paused and asked tentatively: "Why not let Dalang go?"
Almost as soon as the words fell, the old lady at the head of the table put down the teacup in her hand heavily, her eyes stern, and scolded: "Nonsense! Dalang is in his twenties, it is the right time for him to carry forward our mansion. His father just passed away, so it is natural for him to inherit the mansion. How can we let Dalang go!"
The woman was so ferocious by the old lady that she trembled all over, and her eyes instantly became moist, "But, but Liu Lang..."
The old lady looked at her and said sternly, "Tian, you want Dalang to go so much, don't you want Liulang to surpass his elder brother and inherit the title of the Marquisate?"
The Da Ning Dynasty ruled the country with Confucianism, and placed the utmost emphasis on filial piety and the order of seniority, with a clear distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children.
As Dalang is the eldest son, as long as nothing happens to him, the title will definitely be his and no one can covet it.
Even the second son, Rokuro.
With such a big hat put on her, how could Tian dare to respond?
She knelt down hurriedly, and even changed her name out of fear, "Old Madam, I absolutely do not have such thoughts. I...I just feel sorry for Liu Lang. After all, Liu Lang is my only son. If anything happens to Liu Lang, I am afraid I will not be able to live!"
The old lady looked at her with her sharp eyes for a while, "Really?"
Tian lowered her head, her voice choking with sobs, "I can swear an oath that I have never thought of letting Liu Lang and Da Lang compete for the Marquis' Mansion!"
The old lady's eyes changed and she softened her voice a little, "You don't have to be like this. I know what your heart is. You don't have to think too badly. We are all family. Liu Lang is also my grandson. How could I harm Liu Lang? Liu Lang is the second son of the Marquis's mansion. If this matter is handled well, he can serve as an official in the court and help the Marquis's mansion. Isn't this a great thing? Do you think those bastards want this? Get up quickly, why are you crying so hard!"
Tian wiped her tears and stood up, not daring to answer.
Good thing?
Why didn't she let her precious Dalang go for such a good thing?
What a good thing! When will it be her Liu Lang and Yue Niang's turn?
In their hearts, they, the three of them, are only fit to pick up what they leave behind!
The old lady turned her eyes and saw the pink-dressed girl sitting silently below her. She said slowly, "Yue Niang, please persuade your mother. As the mistress of the Marquis's mansion, this is really..."
"You have been a virgin for almost a year, right? Be obedient, and I will arrange a wedding for you in a while."
Nan Yue raised her eyes and glanced at her, but didn't respond.
She hadn't regained her memories yet, and those few words of criticism made her have no good impression of the old lady.
Seeing her reaction, the old lady was a little unhappy. After all, she came from the countryside. "You were in the manor before, and you didn't care about anything. But now that you are back in the manor, you must learn more rules and don't be disobedient like your mother. This way, grandma can arrange a good son for you."
The girl who was fanning herself nearby couldn't help but take over the conversation and said, "Yes, sister, you probably haven't seen many handsome men in the manor. There are many handsome men in Chaoge City..."
There was a hint of pride in her words.
But before he could finish, he was interrupted by the old lady, "How dare you! I'm talking to your elder sister, why are you interrupting me?"
No matter how unfavored Chu Yue was, no matter how much she disliked this granddaughter, she was still the legitimate daughter of the marquis's mansion.
A concubine's daughter born to a concubine is, to put it nicely, the daughter of a marquis, but to put it bluntly, she is half a slave.
The girl quickly knelt down and admitted her mistake, "Don't be angry, old lady. It was Huan Niang who lost her composure for a moment and forgot the rules."
"Pay attention to your identity. Next time, don't come to serve me."
Chu Hua's previous smug and coquettish look disappeared completely, and she returned to her lifeless look. She lowered her head and replied honestly: "Yes."
The old lady said no more and got up to leave.
Tian lost balance and fell back into her chair, crying silently.
The maids stood at the back with their heads down, and it seemed that even their breathing could not be heard clearly.
The oppressive atmosphere spread throughout the mansion...
444 regained some energy, "A new world, a new beginning. Come on host, you must do a good job this time!"
After all, this is the world it has carefully selected. Before long, the world will be divided into many factions and will be in complete chaos. Apart from the noble targets of attack, who can a weak woman like the host rely on?
The memory was transmitted into her mind, and Nan Yue stared at the vase shelf not far away in a daze.
Chu Yue, the fourth lady of the Yongding Marquis’s Mansion.
His mother, Tian, was the second wife of Marquis Yongding and had a son and a daughter, her and a younger brother, Chu Liulang and Chu Yu.
Because he was born not long ago, the Marquis's mansion was not in good condition, and several major events happened in succession. Yongding Marquis went to find a sorcerer to take a look...
When the sorcerer saw her, who was still in her cradle, he said eight words, "You are the precious life of the Heavenly Phoenix, what can I do..."
Marquis Yongding asked back, but the sorcerer shook his head and said that her horoscope was in conflict with the Marquis's Mansion, so she must stay away from the Mansion and be raised until she reached the age of 15 before she could return.
So, when she was only a few months old, she was separated from her parents and taken to a remote village by her wet nurse.
Life in the village was quite peaceful until she reached the age of 15.
