Tyrant's Alternate Queen Chapter 2

"Brother Yao is quite responsible." The wife glanced at Ryan and said, "Since you are young and this is your first offense, I can't bear to punish you. I will only deduct half a pound of your salary this month to teach you a lesson."

In modern terms, Ryan's mother is Aunt Zhou, but in ancient times, a c0ncubine's son should call his wife mother, and usually call her "Madam".

The way people in ancient times addressed each other is actually very easy to understand. Most of the time, they addressed each other like the servants. For example, Ryan's father was the third master of the Xue family, named Xue Cheng. The maids and servants of the third room called him "Master" or "Master Cheng San". His son, wife, and c0ncubines also called him "Master". Even the old grandfather and the old lady called him "Master". This is called addressing each other like the servants.

Of course, the son can also call him "Dad", and the parents can call him by his name, it all depends on the customs of each family.

This was the result of Ryan's observations over the past two days. After all, the original owner was an eight-year-old child, so he was used to being addressed and didn't know much about the rules, so Ryan had to figure it out on his own.

At this moment, Ryan was thinking about the system prompt just now. He didn't think about how serious the punishment of "deducting half a month's salary" was. He just kowtowed and accepted it.

After the lady returned to her room, Aunt Zhou felt both distressed and relieved for her filial son. She quickly took out the pocket money she had saved and gave it to Ryan's personal maid, asking her not to save on Yao'er's food and drink when he went to school, and that she would provide the shortfall of half a dollar.

If Ryan accepted the money from his biological mother, the six laundering points he had just heard would probably be withheld, so he quickly rejected Aunt Zhou's kindness, saying that the palace school would provide cakes and there was no need to prepare food himself.

Aunt Zhou then stopped and praised him a few more words before going back to her room to rest.

Ryan returned to the east wing, sent the maids and servants away, and began to study the "system prompt" alone.

He tried to whisper the command: "Open the system interface", but heard no response, so he closed his eyes and gave commands with his mind, but still got no response from the system.

When he recalled the password "The villain makes a personal system", a dark space suddenly appeared in his mind.

There is a huge three-dimensional Rubik's Cube in the space, and each square is made of translucent glass that emits a faint light.

Ryan tried to concentrate his mental energy on a small cube of the Rubik's Cube. The distance of his vision immediately shortened, and he seemed to be floating right in front of the cube.

There seemed to be something locked in the square, but it could not be seen clearly through the translucent glass.

The system prompt just now said that the redemption interface can only be opened after the whitewashing points reach 50.

He had just added 6 points, and perhaps it was impossible to unlock the Rubik's Cube. Ryan had no choice but to give up for the time being, opened his eyes and exited the spiritual space.

He was a little excited. This was obviously a golden finger. Although he didn't know what use it would be for for now, it at least gave him some hope.

Since the "villain is building a personal system", the so-called "whitewashing" must be earned by learning from Lei Feng and doing good deeds.

At present, it seems that being filial to his own mother can be considered as a way to cleanse himself, so should he give a quilt to Aunt Zhou and try?

Ryan said he would give it a try, and he ran back and forth between the east and west wings all night, serving tea, water and quilts. It was not until dark that he heard a reminder tone: [Three acts of showmanship that provided no substantive help, whitewashing points -1].

Ryan: "???"

Why are there still points deducted!

Showmanship? A bolt from the blue!

Is this system so real?

Ryan retreated dejectedly.

Tossing and turning all night, he could think of only two ways out: one was to help the Seventh Prince fix the ears and tail of the little wooden horse, and the other was to hope that there would be some life-saving magic weapon in the exchange of this system.

However, both paths are currently very confusing.

The seventh prince was only three years old and did not study with the third prince.

In the novel, most of the villains in the early stage were from the Third Prince's party. In fact, the events took place at most with a few years and at least with a few weeks.

As the tutor of the Third Prince, it was impossible for Ryan to casually meet the cub Long Aotian.

Well, now, the more feasible way out is to find good things to do that have practical significance, brush some "white points", and see what good things can be exchanged.

So for the next week, after Ryan returned home from the Shangshufang every day, he would be very alert and wander around the inner and outer courtyards of the Xue Mansion, praying that the elders and villagers would encounter any troubles and wait for him to rescue them.

However, he was only an eight-year-old child. He could not carry anything on his shoulders or lift anything with his hands. He was not physically able to help, and his mental state was not up to the level of helping ordinary people solve their problems.

The last time he helped was when a maid in the yard cut her hand. He used the ointment from his room to treat the maid's wound.

Whitening point +2.

Judging from the stinginess of this system, even if he donated all his personal belongings, he wouldn't be able to earn 50 points!

That morning, the old lady of the Xue family wanted to go to the temple, and only allowed her eldest daughter-in-law, Wang, to accompany her.

Ryan followed his father and escorted the old lady out of the Xue Mansion.

When the old lady got on the bus, her legs and feet were not very nimble and she lifted her feet three times before she could step on the pedal.

This scene suddenly triggered Ryan's memory!

In the novel, the third prince once went to play a prank on the young male protagonist and found that the tutor Ryan was not around. He asked the young eunuch and learned that Ryan's grandmother had an accident at home and had asked for leave to go back.

The Third Prince had a good relationship with the tutor and asked a few questions specifically. He later learned that Ryan's grandmother had fallen while going to the temple to worship Buddha and broke her h!p.

Not long after this incident, Ryan in the book took a few days off because his grandmother passed away.

The book does not state the exact amount of time that passed between the fall and her death, but Ryan believed that the fall directly or indirectly led to Mrs. Xue's death.

Medical technology was not well developed in ancient times. If a person in his sixties broke a bone, it would take several months to recover and he could only lie in bed.

As we age and lack adequate exercise, we are likely to develop all kinds of diseases.

If the above inferences are all true, then if Ryan stops the old lady from going to the temple now, it would be equivalent to saving a life, and he should be able to gain a lot of whitewashing points.

But how can he stop the old lady from going to the temple to burn incense?

Because the old man has been suffering from headaches recently and the doctor couldn't find out what's wrong with him, the old lady decided to donate money to the temple.

If Ryan tried to stop this kind of thing, it would be extremely unfilial. Would he still be able to stay in the Xue family in the future?

What's more, the third master of the Xue family has the lowest status in the family. His legitimate son Mathew is not taken seriously. He is a ba5tard's son and has little influence, so he has no right to speak at all.

The old lady got on the car, and Wang followed. The servant was about to pull back the pedals when Ryan suddenly rushed forward and shouted, "Old lady! I want to go to the temple to worship the Buddha, too!"

The child's clear voice attracted everyone's attention. More than 20 pairs of eyes present looked at Ryan, the second son of the third family.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the old lady asked Wang: "Whose child is this?"

"It's Yao brother." Wang replied.

The old lady shouted outside: "There is nothing interesting in the temple. You won't be able to stay there if you go there."

"I don't want to play, I want to worship Buddha!" Ryan quickly ran to the back of the carriage, stretched his neck, opened his watery eyes and looked at the old lady: "I want to worship Buddha with you, so that grandpa won't have a headache!"

Old people love to hear children's unintentional auspicious words. When the old lady heard it, she smiled and waved, "Pick him up. It's rare for a child to have such a kind heart."

The maid beside him immediately carried Ryan onto the carriage, and he went to the temple with the old lady smoothly.

Ryan's biological father was stunned. He didn't expect that his usually dull little son would suddenly come up with such a big trick and flatter him so loudly without any affectation!

After returning, Mr. Xue expressed his feelings again and again, praising Yao'er for being a capable man with an immeasurable future.

Mrs. Chen did not dare to refute after hearing this, but only smiled gently. After all, she could not tolerate her illegitimate son showing off in front of the master. In her heart, she only hated that Aunt Zhou really did not know how to discipline her son.

Ryan followed the old lady to the temple. As soon as he got off the car, he shamelessly held the old lady's arm tightly and walked with her all the way.

Mrs. Wang mentioned several times in a tactful way that the weather was hot, hoping that Ryan would not walk so close to the old lady. However, Ryan pretended not to hear her and kept saying, "Old lady, walk slowly" and "Be careful with the threshold ahead."

The Xue family is a large family. Even though they live in the same house, there are different degrees of closeness between grandparents and grandchildren.

Although the old lady did not care much about the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, the original owner Ryan was dull by nature and lacked proactive social skills, so the relationship between him and the old lady as grandparents was very weak.

This sudden intimacy was actually very abrupt. Anyway, Ryan was flattering him so much that his face was red. In order to clear his points, he tried his best.

Surprisingly, the old lady didn't feel embarrassed but very happy instead.

The Xue family is a family of poetry, etiquette and nobility. All their descendants are scholars and they believe in "a gentleman is slow in speech but quick in action".

From Old Master Xue to his three sons and even the five young grandchildren, none of them would be as overly intimate with the old lady as Ryan was.

On the contrary, the daughter-in-law and granddaughter are more caring towards the old lady, so the old lady also likes to play with the female family members on weekdays.

It's a rare occasion that a grandson sticks to her like this, and the old lady feels a special sweetness in her heart. She is naturally not afraid of the hot weather, and is happy to walk with her little grandson!

So Wang Shi used to be a traitor to others.

Ryan was actually unsure in his heart. He thought that the old lady didn't push him away because she was too embarrassed to do so, so he didn't dare to look up and make eye contact with the old lady. He guiltily snuggled in the old lady's arms, which made him seem even more clingy.

Ryan in the original novel is an 18th-tier cannon fodder. There is no direct description of the old lady falling down in the text. Ryan has no idea when the old lady will fall down, so he is always on guard and never leaves her side.

After burning incense, Ryan encountered a difficult problem - the monk who interpreted the fortune wanted to speak to the old lady, saying that he had something to tell her in private.

The two went to the pond behind the temple and talked while walking.

Although he dismissed the servants, he did not specifically ask the maid to keep an eye on Ryan.

Ryan immediately slipped to the back garden of the temple and hid behind a rockery to watch.

The monk and the old lady were walking along the gravel path outside the pond. As soon as Ryan saw the road surface, he knew it was all over!

It rained last night and the mud on both sides of the gravel road in the pond was washed out by the rain. There was mud and water on a lot of the gravel roads, which looked very slippery.

It was 100% certain that she fell down here. Ryan wanted to rush over to support the old lady, but that was too weird. There had to be a limit to being attentive. Too much would be annoying.

There was no choice but to hide behind the flower bed and stare intently at the road in front of the old lady.

When the old lady walked to the west side of the pond, Ryan suddenly saw some reflections on the gravel road ahead. Looking closely, he found that it was a sunken road surface with water in it.

Looking back, the old lady was listening to the monk intently.

Most likely he fell here!

Ryan ran around without hesitation, and when he was four steps behind the old lady, he watched her step into the puddle of water!

The old lady screamed and fell backwards!

Ryan's mind went blank for a moment. He kicked off with his toes and rushed forward, raising his hands before the old lady hit the ground!

But he was young after all, and couldn't stop wrestling. Instead, he fell down with the old lady and became a cushion for her.

Thanks to Ryan's cushioning, the old lady was not hurt. She just patted her chest in shock. Suddenly, she heard her grandson's childish voice behind her, saying, "You didn't fall, old lady..."

At the same time, Ryan heard the system prompt sound in his mind: [Whitening points +75, the exchange interface has been unlocked. ]
