Chapter 860: Chapter 858: The Transmigrator Woman Bound to the Good Pregnancy System 2
All the children are healthy, smart, and beautiful, envied by everyone.
The reputation of the Good Pregnancy System spread like this.
Because of Ji Qing’s achievements, Meihua Village and the Commissioner’s family rose to prominence and glory.
The Commissioner accepted that her life would be just like this, knowing she couldn’t rebel, she gave up all thoughts and decided to spend the rest of her life peacefully.
Who knew Ji Qing was contemplating at this time, people age, even with the help of the Good Pregnancy System, the Commissioner couldn’t not grow old, otherwise, she’d become a monster. Besides, because of aversion, she never used anything from the Good Pregnancy System.
The promise made once to stay with her for life by Ji Qing was disregarded, as he started to flirt around, seeking novelty.
Given his status as Prime Minister, having a harem was hardly a problem.
The Commissioner was not deeply in love with Ji Qing, but she couldn’t accept the changing of the initial agreement. She didn’t intend to regain Ji Qing’s affection, hence she brought up the talk of separation.
Of course, they didn’t reach an agreement, Ji Qing couldn’t let such a matter as questing for novelty drive him to divorce and become a joke throughout the Capital City.
Seeing that he couldn’t persuade the Commissioner, he called in children and relatives to help him convince her.
Everyone advised her to be gracious, Ji Qing treated her well, so she shouldn’t be ungrateful. Men, they can’t help but look for something fresh. Many envied her, just because of a few little outside affairs, divorcing would be laughable.
They didn’t like being mocked, and more importantly, they worried about their interests being affected, especially the Commissioner’s family. Falling out with Ji Qing, the Prime Minister, would yield no benefits.
It was this persuasion that made the already resigned Commissioner, planning to live peacefully, furious.
The feeling of unwillingness, desperation, and grievance overwhelmed her; her rationality was no more.
During Ji Qing’s birthday celebration, the Commissioner stabbed him once, severing their ties completely. Before anyone could react, she stabbed herself a second time, ending her own life.
The incident caused a stir, sparking countless discussions, though liberated, the Commissioner no longer cared about the gossip. Honestly, thinking of the chaos at the Prime Minister’s Mansion and her family’s collapse after her death, she felt quite delighted.
She believed she must have been insane; otherwise, with her rationality, she wouldn’t have done such a thing.
As the memories from two cycles merged, the Commissioner’s resentment reached an unimaginable level, by chance bringing her to Ah Chen.
Her wish wasn’t simple for ordinary people, wanting to break free from the control of the Good Pregnancy System, if possible, to destroy such a human trafficking system, and lastly, obliterate the existence behind managing the system. Besides, avenging those men from the second cycle.
As for Ji Qing, she mentioned specially not to bother too much. As long as he didn’t provoke her, their grievances were long settled.
A peculiar scent reached the nose, the kind that ordinary people certainly couldn’t detect.
Ah Chen followed the scent and quickly found a Lingzhi mushroom, about five hundred years old, located in a relatively secluded and dangerous spot, thus unnoticed by others.
However, she didn’t rush to pick it, for as she arrived at the place, another person showed up too.
In theory, the discovery of this Lingzhi mushroom was shared between them.
Ah Chen glanced at the person opposite her, he wore light clothes, had a basket on his back filled with herbs.
His silhouette was slender, yet his appearance seemed ordinary, easily overlooked in a crowd. However, from the rear view, one could not help but look twice.
A mere Lingzhi mushroom, naturally was of little concern to Ah Chen.
But she couldn’t simply yield it to the other, as that’d be too strange.
"Miss, this Lingzhi is a joint discovery between us and should be jointly owned. I suppose the lady is from a nearby village and likely intends to exchange the Lingzhi for silver. If there’s no special need, I can buy half of the Lingzhi from you with silver taels or other items the lady might need," the person across said.
This division was certainly reasonable, even taking great consideration.
Ah Chen pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, I want silver."
"Sir, are you a doctor?"
"Just a wandering physician with some medical skills," Jiang Xun replied, seeing Ah Chen unmoved, he leapt over to the Lingzhi’s spot and carefully picked it.
After securing the Lingzhi, Jiang Xun took out a silver note and handed it to Ah Chen.
Ah Chen glanced at it, and it turned out to be a silver note for five hundred taels, so she shot Jiang Xun several glances as if saying, you’re quite wealthy, randomly producing a silver note for five hundred taels.
Jiang Xun remained calm, "Often encounter noble folks who can’t find a cure; incidentally, I can provide treatment, and they tend to be quite generous."
Ah Chen nodded without further inquiry.
"If you find any decent herbs in the future, you might sell them to me," Jiang Xun added.
Ah Chen asked, "Sir is a wanderer, based on your accent you’re not from here, shouldn’t be around for long?"
"The herbs here are rich; I won’t leave in a hurry."
Ah Chen agreed, "Alright."
Afterward, the two exchanged names, and Jiang Xun even told her where he currently lived, then they parted ways.
The Commissioner recalled having knowledge of this Jiang Xun; indeed, he was a wandering physician, but had no intersection with the Commissioner.
The reason for knowing partially came from Jiang Xun’s decent medical skills, later gaining some reputation in the region.
Secondly, one of the men entangled with the Commissioner had some grudge, with a man named Ye Shuangzhou, who was the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, renowned for his medical skills, possessing a high status, even the Emperor had to show respect.
The exact grievance was unknown to the Commissioner; once tangled with those men, she wasn’t in control of herself. Unlike the first cycle where she had her own career, even leaving the house wasn’t considered freedom.
Especially in the early stages when the men hadn’t reached a consensus; for her, it was a form of torture, being repeatedly seized was commonplace, where was the time for a career?
Jiang Xun watched the distant silhouette, lightly touching his wrist; there, hidden under the sleeve was a touch of green—upon closer inspection, it was a small green snake.
He quickly lowered his gaze and continued walking through the mountain.
The five-hundred-year-old Lingzhi mushroom was valuable, naturally needed.
But he was more eager to find rare poisons under the sun, though they were even harder to find than Lingzhi.
With nearly enough wild vegetables picked, Ah Chen prepared to head home with her basket.
Descending the mountain was swift; soon she saw the village houses.
[Host!] The Good Pregnancy System, waiting for a long time, initially thought it had malfunctioned, only discovering it wasn’t and realizing the host intentionally ignored it; thus the voice carried anger.
[Host, I know you can hear me, don’t pretend you can’t. Once bound, the Good Pregnancy System cannot be unbound; every three years, you must bear a child or the system will commandeer your body to ensure conception until the child is born. Host, as long as you follow the system’s instructions, rewards will be abundant.] The Good Pregnancy System tempted.
Before Ah Chen spoke, 997 couldn’t stay still: [Host, this Good Pregnancy 999 is numbered so close to mine, truly irritating, quickly deal with it!]
[Don’t worry, will deal with it shortly.] Ah Chen assured, she had been pondering how to handle the Good Pregnancy System, not forgetting it, deliberately with the intent to leave it dangling.
