After I awakened my inner voice, I became the treasure of my family.

Chapter 93 Zhou Jingyao Wavering Between Belief and Disbelief

Shen Xiujin continued with a distressed expression, "What's even worse is that she actually questioned me in front of many people about why I haven't visited her in the past few days."

My God! Honestly, I'm completely innocent! When did I ever provoke her?

Well, now that's a problem. After hearing her rambling nonsense, many people around me looked at me with strange eyes, as if I were some kind of scumbag who started something and then abandoned it.

Oh my god, I'm more wronged than Dou E! I'm almost driven to my death by her anger!

Finally, if it weren't for that equally quick-witted person who did everything in their power to stop her from going any further, and me tripping and falling several times before I could get home, you probably wouldn't even be able to find me now!

Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but chuckle, then burst into uncontrollable laughter, laughing so hard she was doubled over.

"Oh dear, second brother, I think you should just wear a veil next time you go out. That way, she probably won't be able to catch you!"

Hearing Jiang Mianmian's words, Shen Xiujin noticed a hint of schadenfreude in his tone. He immediately strode forward, rushed to Jiang Mianmian's side, and then squatted down steadily on his bottom.

He gripped Jiang Mianmian's arms tightly with both hands, shaking them desperately. His handsome face was filled with dejection, and his eyes were brimming with tears as he pitifully cried out:

"Mother, that Su Qianqian is like a ghost. No matter where I go, she always appears suddenly like a ghost in front of me."

Please help your son figure out a good way to deal with this. I'm really fed up with these unexpected 'chance encounters'!

You wouldn't believe it, but these days, the mere sight of her triggers an uncontrollable urge in my legs to turn tail and run for my life! I'm completely helpless right now!

Jiang Mianmian was shaken so violently by Shen Xiujin that the storybook she was holding instantly fell to the ground, and she felt as if her whole body was about to fall apart from being shaken by this guy.

So she glared at Shen Xiujin and said irritably, "Alright, stop shaking it. I'm not Princess Iron Fan's banana leaf fan, I can't possibly fan Su Qianqian away."

In my opinion, you should hurry up and find Zhou Jingyao, use all your charm to win her over, and then smoothly establish your relationship. That way, Su Qianqian probably won't bother you anymore.

"You know, if you had a fiancée, just look at Su Qianqian, who's usually quite arrogant. She wouldn't willingly become someone else's concubine, do you believe me?"

[Besides, the powerful figure behind Su Qianqian would definitely not stand by and watch his own daughter become someone else's concubine. I wonder which poor soul will be the next unlucky one...]

As Jiang Mianmian pondered this, she involuntarily turned her head and looked at Shen Xiujin beside her, muttering to herself:

[Oh dear! This Zhou Liang is like a stubborn, unyielding rock. If the second son really wants to marry Zhou Jingyao, it'll be quite a challenge.]

[I wonder if the second kid's small frame can withstand Zhou Liang's beating. Tsk tsk tsk, it's really worrying!]

Shen Xiujin pursed his lips. He wasn't stupid. If Zhou Liang hit him, he would just run away. Who would be stupid enough to stand still and let him hit them?

However, he also felt that his mother's words made some sense, so he came and left in a hurry, as he was going to find someone who could save his life.

…………

Inside the general's mansion, sunlight filters through the lush foliage, casting dappled shadows, creating a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere.

After exchanging several more letters with Shen Xiujin, Zhou Jingyao gained a deeper understanding of Jiang Mianmian's superpowers.

At first, she thought her future mother-in-law had been reading too many storybooks and was suffering from some kind of delusional disorder. But where did that voice come from that day? Could it be that the whole family was hallucinating?

Moreover, she didn't even know about the dramatic storyline involving her mother and father, so how did Jiang Mianmian find out? In the end, she was forced to believe it as well.

So she came up with a plan and ordered her personal maid, Xiao Taohong, to buy a large number of storybooks. She wanted to see if these storybooks could answer her questions.

In no time at all, Xiao Taohong returned with several large stacks of storybooks. These storybooks were of a wide variety and were so numerous that they almost filled the entire table in the room.

Little Peach Blossom looked at the storybooks on the table—these were all worth money! She stared at her young mistress with suspicion, and said, puzzled:

"Miss, look! These are all the most popular storybooks in the capital right now! To buy them, I ran all over the bookstores in the capital, spending more than three hundred taels of silver!"

Although it was all paid for by the young lady, she still felt a little pain in her heart. As she spoke, Xiao Taohong couldn't help but mutter to herself about the unknown reason.

However, Zhou Jingyao was completely absorbed in her own curious thoughts at this moment, and she did not pay much attention to Xiao Taohong's doubts.

Zhou Jingyao nodded with satisfaction and praised with a smile, "Well done, thank you for your hard work! There's nothing else for you to do here, you can go out and do your work. I'll just read these storybooks by myself."

Xiao Taohong looked at her mistress's eager expression as she read the storybook, and shook her head helplessly. She knew that once her mistress made up her mind to do something, it was very difficult for others to change her mind.

She tiptoed to the door, slowly closed it, and quietly left the room. Zhou Jingyao was left alone, happily flipping through the mountain of storybooks.

After watching Xiao Taohong walk out, Zhou Jingyao casually picked up a book from the table. Upon closer inspection, she saw several large characters printed on the cover: "The Domineering General's Vicious Childhood Sweetheart".

She glanced at them, and then casually picked up two more books next to her: "The Overbearing Crown Prince's Cannon Fodder Crown Princess" and "The Overbearing Prime Minister's Cannon Fodder Ex-Wife".

These are just a few of the many storybooks related to "domineering" that she instructed Xiao Taohong to buy.

She wanted to take a good look at what kind of content was written in those "domineering" stories that Shen Xiujin mentioned.

In particular, what will happen to those characters who are called "cannon fodder female supporting characters" or "vicious female supporting characters"?

Although she had read similar stories before, just hearing Jiang Mianmian mention words like "vicious" and "cannon fodder female supporting character" made her feel that these things must not be good, and she couldn't help but have doubts.

And so, Zhou Jingyao spent the entire afternoon immersed in reading these storybooks. However, as she turned the pages one after another, she gradually felt numb.

Because at this moment, in every storybook she was reading, those characters who were supposed to be villainous cannon fodder female supporting characters almost invariably met a tragic end.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Jingyao felt completely unwell. Her heart pounded with fear, and a chill ran down her spine!

Good heavens, the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became! So many bizarre and varied ways to die, it was as if she had already experienced those tragic deaths herself.

They faced a variety of fates: their families were raided and their clans wiped out; they were exiled three thousand miles away; or they were killed, burned, poisoned, or humiliated to death. In short, the female supporting characters or cannon fodder died in all sorts of ways, and none of them had a peaceful end.

At that very moment, she finally understood why Shen Xiujin had instructed her to read so many stories about cannon fodder and vicious female supporting characters. Was this the deeper meaning he was trying to convey?

Her thoughts drifted back to the letter she had received not long ago, in which Shen Xiujin had given her a detailed explanation of what "the superpower to foresee life" meant, or a magical ability like a "golden finger".

The letter also revealed that his mother now possesses such extraordinary abilities that she is able to know about the past between his parents.

Not only that, but his all-powerful mother had also verified the identities of his elder brother and sister-in-law, his sister-in-law's parents, and even his sister-in-law's younger brother and sister-in-law.

Even more astonishing is that these people have now successfully broken free from their original predetermined storylines.

She didn't know if the absurd things Shen Xiujin said were true or false. However, given the series of farces that had recently caused such a stir in the Li family, Zhou Jingyao probably couldn't help but want to hear about them, even if she didn't want to.

After all, the recent turmoil involving the Li family had become the hottest topic of conversation in the streets, alleys, taverns, and teahouses. Wherever you went, people were talking about it, and ignoring it was practically impossible.

However, Zhou Jingyao did not have any doubts about this series of bizarre events. After all, the facts were right in front of her, leaving her no choice but to believe them.

As for Shen Xiujin mentioning that he is the male protagonist in a storybook, or the so-called "domineering second master" character...

In fact, surprisingly, he said he had actually awakened self-awareness. However, tragically, despite having self-awareness, he was powerless to resist the force of fate that dictated his destiny.

Whenever he faced the woman known as the female lead, it was as if an invisible force compelled him to fully cooperate with all her affected performances.

If there is the slightest sign of defiance, all sorts of bizarre and inexplicable unexpected events will follow.
