The plot from last time resurfaced in her mind.
If she nodded and accepted this glory now, then Xie Xuanrong would step forward and use the two pre-prepared wooden board paintings to expose her. After that, she would be charged with deceiving the emperor and be killed again.
Su Qianxue’s gaze went past Lord Sacrificial Officer and landed on the two red silk bundles at the stone table behind, discontentedly complaining to the system.
"It’s all your fault. If you had listened to me earlier and destroyed those two wooden board paintings, none of this would be happening now."
System: [...]
Could it have destroyed them? But it didn’t!
The previous talk of fearing the new female protagonist’s discovery was just its forced attempt to save face. Actually, the remaining energy it had was no longer enough to destroy anything in this world.
Besides, the new female protagonist had managed to silently control this woman right in front of it and write poems identical to last time, showing that even with ample energy, it might not have been able to destroy them.
Of course, this wouldn’t be revealed to her to avoid being looked down upon, so the system simply played dead.
[Oh, you really think you can just destroy those two paintings? Do you think I’m good-for-nothing?]
[Let’s say, even if you did destroy them, Su Qianxue, baby, I’d just make the poem you write identical to Jiang Zitang’s, so you’d plagiarize her instead.]
[In short, since you’ve already embarrassed yourself in the plot last time, there’s absolutely no turning the tables this time.]
Little sister is amazing!
Little sister is awesome!
Little sister rules!
Hearing her inner voice, the corner of Yun Wanye’s lips curled up, fully becoming a brainwashed fan of Yun Wanqing, constantly giving her praise in his heart.
If his vocabulary was wider, he’d definitely shout ’Little sister 666’ like in modern times.
"Miss Su?"
The voice of Lord Sacrificial Officer sounded again in everyone’s ears. Waiting endlessly for Su Qianxue to speak, Lord Sacrificial Officer became anxious, eagerly urging her while holding the poem she wrote.
Su Qianxue’s consciousness was pulled back. She looked at Lord Sacrificial Officer, her face showing a deep sense of shame, her eyes turning red.
"I didn’t write it. I found these two poems good, so I purposely wrote them down for you to appreciate!!!"
"Earlier, I only said I wanted to offer a poem, but didn’t say I wanted to offer my own poem. You didn’t even specify that offering someone else’s poem wasn’t allowed, right?"
She shouted angrily twice, and without caring about the crowd’s reaction, she lifted her skirt and hurriedly left.
She ran quickly, as if pursued by a fierce ghost, tripping slightly but not pausing, continuing to run after stabilizing herself.
"..."
The crowd was stunned, watching her distant back figure in bewilderment, not knowing the reason.
Offering someone else’s poem is offering someone else’s poem. Was there a need to run that fast?
Moreover, if it’s someone else’s poem, why didn’t she clarify from the start? They really thought a miracle had happened, and even this fool could compose poetry.
Tsk, they said it, didn’t they? How could the well-known fool in Haojing suddenly start composing poems? Apparently, she copied someone else’s work.
[Oh, so she chose to give up on humiliating everyone, prioritizing safety. I have to say, this is a very smart choice.]
[Although doing so is somewhat shameful, and she won’t complete the task given by the system, nor can she pull back the plot, at least it won’t result in the charge of deceiving the emperor, preventing all subsequent consequences.]
[Preserving oneself means having future opportunities to make a comeback.]
[It’s such a pity, though. The ending of the last plot was really satisfying, why summon the wretched system back?]
[It seems that the heroine’s fate isn’t to die. In the future, we need to be cautious.]
On the other side.
Yun Wanyao’s eyes widened, stunned and unable to process it for a long time.
How could it be like this?
Little sister clearly said that Su Qianxue wrote those two poems to show off, shake off the fool label, and seize the title of the top talented woman.
Reasonably, when questioned by Lord Sacrificial Officer, wouldn’t she firmly claim authorship? How could she say it’s someone else’s poem?
And ran away so fast?
Little sister’s inner voice is usually spot on, how could such an accident happen this time?
Exactly where did it go wrong?
Why did Su Qianxue give up on such a great opportunity to be in the spotlight?
Yun Wanyao felt her brain was utterly insufficient, always sensing something must have happened, but she completely couldn’t figure out what had actually transpired.
