After being reborn, I stole the female lead's cheat ability and raised the empress.

Chapter 10

He seemed to want to say something, but looked hesitant. Ali asked directly, "What is it?"

Gu Ba hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's like this, you'll be 15 years old soon, it's time to go back... uh, to school."

A-Li has a bad reputation, and Gu Ba is reluctant to marry her. However, he and Wen Wan like each other, and they need to go back to the capital to clarify this matter in front of everyone.

Ali: "Going to school?!!"

Ha, don't think she doesn't know; she's going back to marry this Gu Ba. However, in the original story, A Li also met the male lead after returning to the capital this time, and then relentlessly pursued him.

Hmm... why do you seem a little reluctant to return to Beijing?

Gu Ba, however, failed to grasp the hidden meaning in his words and replied earnestly, "Yes, the enrollment for Saint Qiong Academy has begun."

Ali was a little sad; she was afraid that she would be forced to follow the plot after returning.

"Do we really have to go back?"

Gu Ba: "Yes, your uncle and aunt said they must take you back."

How can I annul the engagement if you don't go back? My heart belongs only to Wanwan!

When A-Li looked into his eyes, Gu Ba lowered his head involuntarily, feeling guilty.

Heh, I already know what you're up to, but I don't care.

She summoned the system in her mind: System, will I uncontrollably follow the plot?

[Don't worry, host. As long as you stay on track with the plot, everything will be fine. Besides, I'm here; I'll fight against the plot with you.] Go quickly; the female lead is waiting for you in the capital.

Knowing that she didn't have to force herself to follow the plot, Ali felt relieved.

She looked at Gu Ba in front of her. He was engaged but still tried to seduce his fiancée's sister. He was no good person either!

Please help my cheap sister.

Ali casually remarked, "Everyone says my adopted sister is gentle and lovely, but she's not gentle at all today. She's only gentle and lovely in front of you. One second she's glaring at me, and the next second her eyes are filled with tears. She changes her expression so quickly."

Yes, Gu Ba was also puzzled. She was usually so gentle; why was she behaving like a shrew today? Could it be…?

Thinking of a certain possibility, Gu Ba staggered. No, that shouldn't be the case. Wanwan is innocent and kind; she's not that kind of person.

Little did he know that Wen Wan already disliked Ali, and with Ali's deliberate arrangements today—both ignoring her and humiliating her—it was only natural that Wen Wan couldn't hold back her frustration.

Ali watched Gu Ba's constantly changing expression, but smiled without saying a word. Once the seed of doubt is planted, just wait for it to take root and sprout.

the other side.

After driving away the maid, Wen Wan was still furious. She picked up a whip and began to lash the group of people in the woodshed, treating them like Ali and taking her anger out on them. The more she whipped, the angrier she became, and before she knew it, she had beaten one of them to death! Wen Wan was startled and then snorted, "Even useless people have no reason to exist." She waited a while longer, until she was sure that everyone was completely dead, before leaving in a huff.

She spoke to Granny Cui alone and learned from her what had happened, the "process" of the incident.

Wen Wan couldn't help but curse, "These worthless sluts! It's one thing to secretly take things, but how come they got caught in public?" After fuming for a while, she asked, "I told you to poison her a few days ago so she couldn't return to the capital. Why isn't Ali dead yet?"

Because Xia Li was about to come of age, a few days ago the Gu and Xia families planned to send people to bring her back to the capital to discuss marriage. Wen Wan then planned to poison someone so she could marry in her place. Unexpectedly, she made a mistake.

"This...this old servant doesn't know. I personally fed her the medicine, but Ali only had stomach pain for a few hours and then gradually got better." She dared not call Wen Wan "young lady" in front of her, or she would be slapped.

Wen Wan understood: "Perhaps the medicine expired, no wonder she got up so late today. But it's alright, once I return to the capital, the title of legitimate daughter will be mine." So she didn't dwell on the matter anymore.

She then took out a small box, took out a bottle of poison from it, and handed it to Granny Cui. The viciousness in her eyes was undisguised. "Find a chance to give it to her. I want her to not be able to return to the capital alive."

Looking at Wen Wan, Granny Cui had no doubt about her fate if she continued to follow her. She was extremely grateful that she had woken up in time and followed the young lady.

Granny Cui nodded: "Second Miss, rest assured, leave this matter to this old servant."

He immediately turned around and told Ali about it.

After giving instructions to Granny Cui, Wenwan went to find the others and gave each of them a packet of poison, making a series of arrangements. She couldn't put all her hopes on one person.

Hmph! She thinks arresting a few people will wipe out my power? How naive! She probably doesn't know that most of the people here are my men.

Wen Wan thought she had planned things very well, but she underestimated people's hearts.

When the physician arrived at the woodshed, the body was already cold. He could only sigh, "What a tragedy." He reported this to the young lady, and Ali ordered that the body be buried. She also gave the family a sum of money as compensation, saying, "Since the person is dead, we shouldn't burden the living. Just tell their family that they died of illness." In this way, she won over most of the people in the manor.

[Congratulations, host, for winning people's hearts. You are rewarded with 50 points.]

As for Wen Wan, after instructing everyone to go back to find Gu Ba, she saw Gu Ba with A Li. Instantly, her blood boiled, and she screamed, "You bitch! What are you doing?"

She rushed forward to slap Ali, but was stopped by Gu Ba.

"Wanwan, how can you talk like that? She's your sister!"

Wen Wan realized she had gone too far and quickly put on a pitiful look: "I, I just felt wronged seeing you with her..." As she spoke, she tried to lean into Gu Ba's arms, but Gu Ba, remembering that A Li was there, gently pushed her away. What a joke, his real fiancée was right here, even if it was only in name.

However, in Wen Wan's eyes, this meant that the man had changed his mind.

She felt even more wronged. They were so affectionate in the capital, but now he was protecting someone else!

[Congratulations, host, for successfully sowing discord between the two. You have earned 10 points.]

Ali: ?! This system, is it really not a villain system?

Although Wenwan is not the main character, look at the tasks given to her, which one is about doing good deeds?

But we still need to earn this money.

Ali scoffed, "Your fiancée is right here, and you, an adopted sister, are acting all aggrieved. Anyone who didn't know better would think you two were the engaged couple!"

Gu Ba stood frozen in place after hearing this.

[Congratulations, host, for making your adopted sister suffer! Reward: 10 points]

Upon hearing the system reward, Ah Li smiled contentedly.

This only enraged Wen Wan further. She lowered her eyes, a vicious glint in them. "Damn bitch! She's already hooked up with my Fourth Brother Gu in such a short time! I really want to kill you!" she thought. "But it's alright, you're going to die soon. You won't live to see the capital."

To distance herself from the matter, Wen Wan quickly pulled Gu Ba away and went back first.

Ali felt a little regretful; her money had flown away!

But it's okay, we'll see ATMs again soon.

I have to say, she's still a bit too gentle; she's earned 270 points in just half a day.

"Miss, there are over twenty people requesting an audience in the front hall!"
