The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 1280 - 477: Palace Intrigue or Rebellion (Part 14)_3

Before criticizing others, we should first understand if they have any unspeakable difficulties.

Except for the very few who are unfit to be parents, Zheng Nianer believes that most parents in the world love their children.

For various reasons, they cannot personally take care of their children, so we should not blame them too harshly.

One can only say there are too many helpless situations in the world, and a perfect solution is just an ideal.

Especially in ancient times, children in wealthy families were basically cared for by wet nurses and slaves.

Yet, no slave dared to sow discord between the master and the young master of the family.

Lady Hu... sigh, her heart was too ambitious, nurturing thoughts she shouldn’t have.

As the daughter of Lady Hu, the original owner was deeply influenced by her.

She had feelings for the little Emperor, and she also used him.

She didn’t directly express disdain for her own origin, but deep down, she was still insecure.

She wanted to climb up the social ladder, to become someone of prominence.

But a proper wealthy family would never marry a woman of such awkward origin as the main wife.

Becoming a concubine or marrying into a small, unremarkable family wasn’t satisfactory for the original owner either.

So she exploited the little Emperor’s reverence for Lady Hu and their childhood feelings, desperately conveying one idea to the little Emperor: We grew up together, our emotions are deep.

The original owner always acted as if she was deeply in love with her childhood sweetheart.

The little Emperor, whether brainwashed or genuinely treasuring those childhood feelings, truly fell in love with the original owner.

"Dame!"

After sorting out the original owner’s memories, Zheng Nianer put a big cross in her heart over this "emotional debt".

Traveling through time, she indeed had to bear the original owner’s karma.

But as for the original owner’s "man", tsk tsk, she’d better keep her distance.

Not to mention this man was a feudal dynasty Emperor, a shared cucumber, to a modern independent woman from the future, he’d be nothing but respectfully avoided.

Furthermore, the enmity between Lady Hu and Empress Dowager He was also a ticking bomb.

If Zheng Nianer insisted on marrying the little Emperor like the original owner did, Empress Dowager He was sure to explode.

Zheng Nianer never underestimated the ruthlessness and decisiveness of an Empress Dowager at the imperial throne.

In the past, Empress Dowager He tolerated "Mrs. Hu’s" existence only because she was wary of bigger consequences.

But if the Emperor and Lady Hu crossed her bottom line, she might just retaliate fiercely.

Empress Dowager He ordering the extermination of the Zheng family? It would be just a matter of her words.

And as for the entire Zheng family, if they all died, no one would demand the reigning Empress Dowager to pay with her life.

The little Emperor, no matter how much he favored his wet nurse, wouldn’t kill his mother for a slave, would he?

"Dear! Feeling hopeless about the future? Sensing a family crisis but out of options?"

"Palace Fighting System, it’s worth having!"

"Not for 998, not even for 9.9. You just need to agree to bind with the system, and it will help you become the champion of this and the next palace fight!"

"Dear! A rare opportunity, not to be missed!"

Just as Zheng Nianer was worrying about the Zheng family’s situation, a mechanical voice suddenly echoed from the depths of her sea of consciousness.

"..." What on earth is this?

Watched too much TV shopping?

Or brainwashed by false advertisements?!

Zheng Nianer found this system very unreliable.

"Dear, Palace Fighting System, once bound, it can make you the winner in the harem!"

Seeing no response from Zheng Nianer, the mechanical voice became somewhat anxious.

It started to chatter about the benefits after binding to the system—

"Cold White Pill, just swallow it and instantly have envied snow-white skin;"

"Beautifying cream, just a smear for a ten-level beauty effect;"

"Slimming cream, eat without getting fat, perfect figure guaranteed;"

"And ’a pair of seductive eyes’, ’Dream Creation Space’, and other Divine-level skills!"

"Dear, as long as you bind with this system, you can have all these items and skills!"

Zheng Nianer:... Felt nothing inside, even felt like laughing.

"No way? Are you a woman after all?" The mechanical voice became restless.

"I am a woman, but I know better, nothing falls into one’s lap from the sky."

Zheng Nianer, being a strong and independent modern woman, wouldn’t be easily fooled by such scams.

"Since it involves tasks, there must be successes and failures."

Zheng Nianer’s thoughts were very clear. Admittedly, when she heard about the Cold White Pill and Beautifying Cream, she was indeed tempted.

But above all, she was cautious.

She sharply pointed out the problem, "If tasks succeed, there are rewards. But if they fail, are there punishments or even maybe some kind of removal?"

Palace Fighting System:... Are modern women all so hard to deceive now?

If it were a legitimate system and the person didn’t agree, they’d surely switch the Host.

But this so-called "Palace Fighting System" was a Wild System. Seeing Zheng Nianer was stubbornly unyielding, it simply forced the binding and conveniently brought about a drop in IQ.

Zheng Nianer’s Divine Soul wavered for a moment, as if trapped in shackles, her brain turning into a blur...
