One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos

Chapter 235: Chapter 1: Char Siu Son

Ye Xiao understood the two tasks at hand.

The first task was essentially to change Ye Qingrong’s fate. However, what constitutes a happy and fulfilling life is subjective. For Ye Qingrong, the obstacles to her happiness were her two children.

If Ye Xiao had arrived earlier, she might have gradually educated and changed these two.

As it stood… it seemed too late.

If she persisted in trying to save and change them, she might just recreate the original tragedy of the story.

If she outright abandoned these two, would that still count as a happy and fulfilling life?

The second task was quite straightforward, which was to confiscate the female lead’s golden finger.

As far as Ye Xiao was concerned, the world’s male and female leads did not have much of a problem.

One was a patriotic general, and the other a doctor who cured the sick. Their love for each other also began after the original owner’s death. Ye Qingrong herself did not harbor any resentful feelings towards them.

If the male and female leads were normal, Ye Xiao had no reason to oppose them.

This time, Ye Qingrong would certainly not pass away from illness, but she could request a separation herself. She did not want to meddle in the love between the male and female leads. With her abilities, it shouldn’t be difficult for her to live a decent life on her own.

Taking back the female lead’s golden finger was something she also needed to strategize. The Modify-Text System had not yet informed her how to retrieve it. She would wait until she met the female lead to decide.

“Mother! Say something! This is all I ask of you in my life! If you cannot accept Qingqing, then you might as well not recognize me as your son!” Gu Changze said stubbornly, “I want to see if by doing this, you are being fair to my father.”

Ye Xiao frowned.

This char siu’s way of talking was always shouting, and she felt her ears had suffered damage.

“Gu Lang, don’t speak any further. I know your feelings for me. But our love is not accepted by this world, so please, let me go.”

Gu Changze was instantly incredulous, “No! Qingqing, where will you go? Don’t be afraid, I will definitely marry you. Look, so many people here are deeply moved by our love. They don’t want us to give up, and neither should you, please.”

The onlooking crowd that was just there for the excitement: “…”

How on earth did this enormous pot fall onto them?

“Mother.” Beside them, An Yihua, Gu Changze’s legitimate wife from the Minister Residence, looked at Ye Xiao with reddened eyes and a somewhat desperate expression.

She, too, came from a respectable family and was delicately raised. She believed she had not done a single thing wrong since marrying into the family when suddenly, her husband did not return on their first wedding night and the next morning, he was bringing a courtesan into the house, intending to marry her!

She did not oppose Gu Changze taking a concubine, but they had just gotten married, and she had yet to develop strong feelings for Gu Changze.

But…

His behavior was openly slapping her face, as well as that of the entire Minister Residence. If the news spread, she wondered how she could face others, and how her father could as well.

“Mother! Please grant my brother’s wish,” Gu Shu said to Ye Xiao with tear-filled eyes.

Moving, so moving.

The brother and Sister Liu were indeed a match made by heaven.

Currently.

All eyes were focused on Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao narrowed her eyes slightly and reviewed the plot.

“Ye Qingrong was furious. She summoned men to throw Liu Qingqing out. Just as the guards touched Liu Qingqing, she seemed to suffer a severe shock and fell helplessly into Gu Changze’s arms. Gu Changze, distressed, protected Liu Qingqing, declaring that if she could not enter his home, he would wander the world and never return.”

How interesting.

Ye Xiao’s lips curved into a faint smile as she said indifferently, “Who is making a racket in the Marquis Valiant Residence? Guards, throw this woman out, along with this bridal sedan chair. The farther the better.”

Following Ye Xiao’s command, several guards moved forward to seize Liu Qingqing.

Ye Xiao also made a subtle change to a word.

She had just arrived in this world and was greeted with three opportunities to modify text, so she decided to have a go at it.

Her proficiency with the Modify-Text System was growing, and changing words had become second nature.

Ye Qingrong gave the order.

An Yihua couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

No matter what, this proved that her mother-in-law was on her side, and that was a good start.

The bodyguards strode towards Liu Qingqing with an aggressive momentum.

According to the script.

Liu Qingqing was about to start faking a fall, and then weakly collapse into Gu Changze’s embrace.

“Qingqing! Don’t you dare touch Qingqing!” Gu Changze roared again, and he struggled to rush toward Liu Qingqing.

“Gu Lang!” Liu Qingqing called out plaintively, and with a light push, she went with the momentum and fell toward Gu Changze!

However.

At that very moment.

Liu Qingqing felt as if her legs were infused with a strange energy.

This energy was overwhelming and fierce, almost beyond her control.

The muscles in Liu Qingqing’s calves suddenly became incredibly firm, and she took a powerful leap.

Someone was blocking the path ahead, but that couldn’t stop Liu Qingqing.

She jumped two meters high, then, landed directly onto Gu Changze, who was desperately dashing towards her.

Gu Changze saw Liu Qingqing falling straight down, and he was completely dumbfounded.

This… What is this?

Hadn’t heard that Liu Qingqing practiced martial arts!

This has to be lightness skill, this is definitely lightness skill, no doubt about it.

Liu Qingqing descended from the sky, landing right on top of Gu Changze.

Gu Changze tried to catch her, but the force of the fall was too great; he was jolted, lost his footing, and, along with Liu Qingqing, crashed hard onto the ground.

A few bodyguards were bewildered.

They… hadn’t even exerted much force, had they?

They looked towards Ye Xiao somewhat helplessly.

Ye Xiao slightly raised her eyebrows, “Never mind, you all step back for now.”

The guards hurriedly stood aside, waiting.

Ye Xiao looked at the two who were in a disheveled heap, her expression indifferent.

She had just modified a word.

“Liu Qingqing suddenly seemed to be hit by some devastating impact, her entire being weakly collapsed into Gu Changze’s arms” in this sentence, Ye Xiao directly changed collapsed into leaped into.

If this were the modern world, this edit might not have taken effect, considering there were guards in the way.

Jumping two meters on the spot, also not sure if this had broken the human limit.

But in this ancient world, where martial arts existed, she had easily accomplished this heavenly descent.

Gu Changze hit the back of his head on the ground, grimacing in pain.

Liu Qingqing had a helpless expression, “Gu Lang, are you alright? I… I didn’t mean to. I also don’t know what exactly happened.”

Would Gu Changze blame her?

Of course not.

His eyes were full of deep affection, “Being able to catch you, I am very pleased.”

“Gu Lang.”

“Qingqing.”

The two called out to each other, then embraced deeply once again.

Ye Xiao rolled her eyes, unable to help but remind them.

“Gu Changze, what were you saying about if we don’t let Liu Qingqing inside, what will you do then?”
