Chapter 979: Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Character (1)

It was quite a while before Xu Hongfei finally made a call to Luo Fei.

The bitterness lingered on his lips as he uttered, "Luo Fei, do you have time to come out for a drink...?"

Regret.

He should have realized something when Ye Shaohua returned his 120,000, when she declined the breakup fee he offered.

But at that time, his heart was set on Jian Wen, and he completely failed to notice his girlfriend was not quite the person he thought she was.

Luo Fei initially had no time to come out, but remembering the warning his grandfather gave him, he still went out to warn Xu Hongfei to stop targeting Ye Shaohua.

Because now, she was someone not even the Luo Family could afford to provoke.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Tasker for completing the main mission, system rewards 3000 points!]

[Ding! Agent 009 at your service, 3000 points have been credited, detaching from the world!]

[Ding! Returning memories!]

This time, 009 noticed that the Tasker’s face bore no trace of confusion, just that his eyes were even more terrifying than the last time.

"Start the mission," Ye Shaohua brushed the hair by her forehead, "and next time, don’t summon me back to the System Space; just send me directly into the next world."

was once again stunned.

It had served many Taskers, but each one fought to organize their emotions in the Space or wished for a couple of vacation worlds to relax.

It had never seen a host like this one before.

Agent 008’s host is truly peculiar, no wonder 008 always had time to play cards with other systems every day.

But 008’s host is too ruthless, not even bothering to ask about 008.

shook its head, and as it sent the Tasker into the world, it vanished from the System Space.

"Madam, hurry up, I’ve arranged the time with Dazhu, and if we’re late, there will be people at the back door," a voice came from beside Ye Shaohua.

Ye Shaohua, without revealing her emotions, adjusted the large package in her hand and did not immediately leave.

Instead, she observed the person speaking beside her.

Clad in a light blue dress and sporting two buns, the attire seemed like that of a maid from a wealthy family.

Seeing that Ye Shaohua did not respond, the maid became somewhat impatient, "Madam, you begged me to look for an opportunity for you to escape. I found one for you, yet now you hesitate to go. Don’t think of relying on me again."

This time, Ye Shaohua saw the undisguised disgust in the bottom of the maid’s eyes.

She didn’t say anything but bowed her head to absorb the memories flooding her mind.

The original Ye Shaohua was the eldest daughter of Ye Che, the world’s top chef who held the title of Culinary God and served as the Emperor’s royal chef, and was also the Emperor’s favored courtier. Her family owned the world’s top restaurant.

The Ye Family’s reputation in Imperial City was unparalleled. The only daughter, Ye Shaohua, was engaged to Ning Zhao, the second son of the Prime Minister.

But to her dismay, just as they were to marry, Ye Che accidentally took a poisoned dart meant for the Emperor and died.

Overnight, the Ye Family’s status plummeted, and the original host had to observe mourning for her father.

If it had ended there, it would have been bearable. However, when Ning Zhao was wandering the Jianghu, he met a woman.

Named Su Junling, she presented Ning Zhao with a dish called "Beggar’s Chicken", captivating his heart. After several harrowing experiences together, they fell deeply in love.

Upon returning to Imperial City, the first thing Ning Zhao did was to make his intentions clear to the Prime Minister.

The marriage between the two families was settled, and had Ye Che not died, the two would already have been wed. But with Ye Che’s death, marrying Ye Shaohua truly became inconsequential.

The Prime Minister, having climbed to his position, certainly had his own schemes.

He had sought marriage with the Ye Family originally because of Ye Che’s standing at the Emperor’s court. Now, knowing that Su Junling was the mysterious backer of Feiya Lou, and understanding some of the intricate details behind Feiya Lou,

he also knew about the close relationship between the Third Prince and Feiya Lou.

Though on the surface he did not take sides, he was well aware that the most favored one was the Third Prince, and who he should lean towards was obvious.

After much deliberation, not only did he tacitly approve, he prevented Ning Zhao from publicly mentioning the matter and used stratagems to have the original host marry Song Shuyun, the young master of a merchant household.

The original host had long regarded Ning Zhao as her husband-to-be. In an era where scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants were ranked with merchants at the bottom, the distinction between a scholar-official’s son and a mere merchant’s son, reeking of money, was clear for her.

And Song Shuyun was busy with business all day long, staying in the side wing whenever he came back; they were merely polite to each other.

Until the original host learned of Ning Zhao’s affair with Su Junling and her sudden marriage into the Song family, she ran out of the Song family to confront Ning Zhao.

Song Shuyun, knowing she was headed to the Prime Minister’s house, left his business behind to stop her.

But the original host was determined to see Ning Zhao, reckless of the danger, and attempted to leap from the carriage. This frightened the horse, and the carriage overturned.

The original host had jumped off in time, but did not expect that the coachman and Song Shuyun would be injured in the carriage. Song Shuyun was particularly hurt:

trampled by the horse, he was paralyzed and unconscious.

Without Song Shuyun, much of the family business was lost to others.

As it goes, when a tree falls the monkeys scatter. Though everything seemed normal on the surface,

the vast Song family was already in dire straits.

Every member of the Song family wished they could strangle the original host to death.

And the original host did not want to stay at the Song family either; she still wanted to find Ning Zhao and clarify things.

So, she bribed the maid, asking her to look for an opportunity to escape the Song family.

And that was the exact moment Ye Shaohua transmigrated in.

Having received all this information and seeing the disdain in the maid’s eyes,

Ye Shaohua suddenly understood.

A maid could not have had the authority to bribe the guards at the back door, or those patrolling the Song family, to allow the original host to leave.

Behind all this must have been the Song family’s consent. But for someone like the original host, who brought disaster to her family, Ye Shaohua found the Song family’s decision unsurprising.

As for what would happen to the original host, a woman venturing out on her own, it was beyond anyone’s expectation.

With that thought, Ye Shaohua shook her head in resignation.

One could say the original host was innocent, and yet, not so innocent.

Ye Shaohua could not fully empathize with her.

But in the current situation, every member of the Song family would rather see the original host dead.

And as for Ning Zhao and the Prime Minister’s lot,

they wouldn’t care much about a powerless woman, who had lost her father, their only pillar; they wouldn’t spare her a second thought or a glance.
