The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 716 - 289: The Swindler Again (Part 5)_3

However, that was the original owner.

But this day, because he had followed the men of the house to help, and his nutrition couldn’t keep up, he suddenly collapsed on the side of the road.

When he opened his eyes again, he had turned into the male lead of a fanfic, a soul from another world.

"Brother Cong, Brother Cong! How are you? Should we call a doctor?"

Jia Huan and Jia Cong had a good relationship, reporting daily to Ningguo’s Mansion, and they always traveled together.

When Jia Cong fell, Jia Huan was terrified. If he hadn’t been afraid of disturbing the mourning hall and getting punished by the adults, he would have screamed at the top of his lungs.

It was still his sidekick and cheap uncle, Zhao Guoji, who picked up Jia Cong and temporarily settled him in a guest room.

Zhao Guoji fiercely pinched Jia Cong’s philtrum for a while, thinking that if he couldn’t wake him up, he’d then figure out a way to send someone to fetch a doctor.

Although Jia Cong was an unfavored concubine son and even the servants dared to slip away from him, he was still one of the only two offspring from the first branch.

If something really happened, Jia Huan, who went out with Jia Cong, would have to bear responsibility as well.

At that moment, Jia Cong slowly opened his eyes.

If Jia Huan were a perceptive person, he might have noticed that Jia Cong had become very different at that moment.

First, the gaze was different.

"Jia Cong" cautiously looked around, and his pupils visibly contracted when he saw Jia Huan’s attire.

"What, what happened to me?"

"Jia Cong" feigned ignorance in response to Jia Huan’s words.

"Oh, you can finally talk now!"

Jia Huan, hearing "Jia Cong’s" voice, immediately relaxed.

Once he was relieved, Jia Huan began to talk incessantly: "You smashed your head on the ground, almost scared the soul out of me!"

"What’s gotten into you? I know your wet nurse keeps a tight leash on you, but surely she doesn’t forbid you from eating?!"

Jia Huan was merely speculating, but he inadvertently guessed the truth.

As a concubine son whose biological mother had died early, whose father was indifferent, and whose legitimate mother was unreliable, Jia Cong’s life could definitely be described as "miserable."

In the house, basically, everything was dictated by the wet nurse.

Think of Yingchun, although she was timid, at least she was raised around Madam Jia.

She got to see Madam Jia or Mrs. Wang almost every day.

Her wet nurse even dared to steal her jewelry and embezzle her Silver Coin.

Jia Cong was worse off than Yingchun, barely even seeing the old lady on a daily basis.

Even if he wanted to complain, he probably wouldn’t even know where the Yamen was.

And the original Jia Cong was even more timid, never daring to resist, completely manipulated by the wet nurse.

His monthly salary was deducted, and even slightly better rations were taken by the wet nurse for her own children.

Jia Cong, a young master of Duke Mansion, actually couldn’t get enough to eat.

Usually, it was bearable, but recently Ningguo’s Mansion was busy with a funeral, and the masters and young masters from both eastern and western mansions came to help.

Jia Cong was young and wasn’t required to do much, but following around those in charge or older cousins was still tough work.

Hungry and tired, today, Jia Cong just couldn’t bear it anymore.

"Now that you’re finally awake, otherwise, I really would have gone to find Grandpa Lai!"

Jia Huan, unaware that Jia Cong had undergone a soul swap, said with relief.

"Jia Cong," hearing Jia Huan’s words, but silently lowered his eyelids.

Because he knew that the original owner had never woken up—the poor child had already died.

And he, although he didn’t know why he had time-traveled to ancient times and become a somewhat unloved, wealthy young master, who even slaves dared to bully,

However, since he was here, he would settle for it!

Living life again, he would definitely live it well.

And the bullying and humiliation that the original owner endured, he would seek justice for him.

The people the original owner cared about, or his close relatives, he would also help protect.

Just consider it repayment for occupying this body.

This way, the karma between him and the original owner would also be resolved.

"Jia Cong" made a firm resolution in his heart, telling himself, from now on, "I am this ’Brother Cong.’"

But soon, when "Jia Cong" found out that his surname was Jia, that he was currently in the neighboring Ningguo’s Mansion, helping a woman named Granny Rong with funeral arrangements, he was flabbergasted.

Damn! It’s actually Red Building?

He hadn’t even been transmigrated into any major character, but instead, one who appeared no more than three times in the entire book.

Moreover, his current cheap father Jia She, wasn’t the quietly enduring, strategically patient man as depicted in some fanfic, but a damned true lecher, a true debauchee.

Student Xiao D:... Ha ha, that critique, somewhat familiar.

This male lead who had traveled through time was indeed a quirky fellow!

Student Xiao D, who liked to stealthily activate God’s Eye View, once again focused his attention on the male lead of this Small World...
