Chapter 5: The Second Reader Who Quietly Made a Reward
Chapter 5: The Second Reader Who Quietly Made a Reward
Just as the system was making a desperate attempt, it successfully found a second reader.
The reason was that when Lin Liu woke up in the morning, he found a very scattered number in his donations: yuan.
"Get rich! What's with this money? Didn't you say you'd take half? Why are there still some loose numbers?" Lin Liuyi didn't look closely and thought that the money Princess Mingyue had given him as a reward had been secretly deducted by the system.
The system had just woken up from hibernation when it heard Lin Liuyi questioning it.
"Impossible, I didn't! I'm a law-abiding system! Host, let me check, maybe there's something wrong with my program!"
The system panicked. It couldn't be that it was running out of energy and the program was starting to malfunction, could it?
"Hmph, you'd better find out the truth! If you're stealing like this, we're done for!" Stealing her money is simply outrageous!
The system panicked at her words and quickly checked its own program, only to discover that it was actually a new reader who had tipped the day before.
Both it and its host were resting, so no one noticed.
"Host, apologize to me! This is clearly a new reader's donation, and that's all the money she donated. I took half of it according to the rules. I didn't take any more of your money!" After figuring it out, the system became quite self-righteous, insisting that its program couldn't possibly have a problem.
"A new reader?" Lin Liuyi was curious for a moment.
"That's right, we were both resting last night when the tips were given. Host, how can you question me? I've always been loyal to you, and you actually suspect me of stealing money?" The system felt so wronged that it almost wanted to cry.
"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I shouldn't have doubted you, I apologize!" Lin Liuyi immediately admitted his mistake to the system.
"Alright then, I accept your apology!" Seeing its host admit his mistake, the system's sad mood immediately disappeared.
"Yeah, you're the best, get rich! But what did this new reader tip? Why are there both odd and even amounts?" Lin Liuyi asked curiously.
The system was also curious, so it quickly went to check the backend.
"Host, this reward is two taels of gold! This amount was automatically calculated by the system program according to the latest gold price!"
"Gold?" Lin Liuyi asked in surprise.
What kind of family is this, using gold as a reward?
Why can't there be one more rich person like her in all these worlds!
"Yes, this world seems to have no network, so the system can't enter it. Therefore, the system doesn't know the reader's identity." The system tried, but the world refused its entry, so it could only distribute the article there.
Even the system couldn't find out the reader's identity, and Yirenyitong was instantly extremely curious about this reader!
The curious reader was sitting in the pavilion at that time, passing the time with a book in hand.
She sat in the pavilion, leaning against the railing, with a wide lotus pond in front of her. The water rippled and the green lotus leaves filled her eyes. She held the book in her hand loosely, without turning the page for a long time.
"Young Miss, Madam Qin's old nanny seems to have something to discuss with you. Would you like to see her?" a maid reported to the people in the pavilion.
Sitting in the pavilion, Liu Mingyue seemed to have just come back to her senses. "Then let's go see Granny Qin."
Liu Mingyue was engrossed in the storybook written by Lin Liuyi. Speaking of which, she vaguely heard a voice asking her if she wanted to read the storybook while she was sleeping yesterday.
Of course, the other party was referring to "novels," and Liu Mingyue thought she was having a strange dream, so she chose "yes."
She then began reading a novel in her dream, and she privately thought that this novel should be the same as a storybook.
However, the content was novel, a world she had never seen before, so after reading it, she casually gave a reward of 2 taels of gold as usual.
When she woke up in the morning, she couldn't stop thinking about the dream she had, finding it quite magical.
To her surprise, the moment she thought of the storybook, the other person appeared before her eyes, and even her maid couldn't see him; he even passed right through the storybook.
This surprised her even more.
She then cautiously tested the waters and confirmed that only she could see the storybook. Thus, she leaned against the pavilion to admire the scenery, but in reality, she was secretly reading the pages of the storybook.
After being disturbed by the maid, she put away her storybook and went to see what her mother wanted to do when she called her again. Before leaving, she didn't forget to give her another two taels of gold as a reward.
So while Lin Liuyi continued to live a lowly life as a wage earner, another sum of money arrived from behind the scenes.
Looking at this amount, Lin Liuyi could hardly contain his smile.
Thank you to this reader who quietly gave a tip!
Liu Mingyue followed Granny Qin to the inner courtyard. "I wonder why Mother summoned me here?"
"I intend to discuss your marriage with your aunt and propose to your cousin, Ze'er," said Madam Xu, Liu Mingyue's mother, as she picked up a cup of tea.
Unexpectedly, Liu Mingyue was furious after hearing this. Did she, a legitimate daughter of a marquis's family, need to go out of her way to find someone to propose marriage?
Don't think she doesn't know who this cousin Xu Ze that her mother mentioned is. Although Xu Ze also comes from a marquis's family, the Changning Marquis's family is not as good as their Wu'an Marquis's family.
The Changning Marquis's mansion hasn't produced any outstanding figures in recent generations and has long been in decline. Xu Ze is a spoiled brat, and everyone in the capital knows him.
On the contrary, their Wu'an Marquis family has produced outstanding talents in every generation. In Liu Mingyue's generation, her two older brothers are even more outstanding, and she herself is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Her mother actually made her marry such a person for the sake of her own family.
Liu Mingyue suppressed her anger, "If Father agrees, then it's fine."
Just wait, her father will absolutely not agree!
"You've gone too far! You're actually using your father to pressure me! Let me tell you, you have to marry him whether you like it or not!" Seeing Liu Mingyue's attitude, Madam Xu slammed her teacup on the table in a fit of rage.
"Anyway, my daughter said that she will marry as long as her father agrees."
Liu Mingyue didn't offer any further explanation, and simply stuck to that statement.
She didn't understand why her mother treated her this way. From childhood to adulthood, her mother had always been indifferent, and no matter how well she performed, her mother had never given her a kind look.
She had tried and felt resentful, but she didn't know what she had done wrong to make her mother dislike her so much.
In the end, she lost heart. Perhaps they were just not meant to be mother and daughter. It was fine to just live like this, without any emotional attachment.
"Get out!" Xu was furious and smashed the teacup on the ground.
"Then I'll take my leave!"
After Liu Mingyue finished her greetings, she left gracefully, seemingly unaffected.
Lady Xu, the wife of the Marquis, watched her retreating figure, gritting her teeth, "An ungrateful wretch!"
