Su Ning expressed her joy, saying, “Third Sister-in-law, once Third Brother ascends to office, please implore him to strive towards rectifying these unjust systems.”

This time, Qin Zhenzhen refrained from nodding and replied, “We’ll have to wait and see. It won’t be a simple task.”

Su Ning, being a young girl, often displayed her innocence and kindness. She saw only the surface of the magistrate’s wife treating them well, unaware of the hidden agendas and schemes devised for their family’s wealth.

Furthermore, the deeply ingrained feudal system would not yield to change solely on the counsel of a high-ranking official unless that individual held ultimate authority.

In the plot of the original book, the male lead, Chu Tiansheng, ascended to the throne and gradually abolished the traditional feudal laws, replacing them with a modern system. This transformation occurred due to the influence of the female lead, who was a modern transmigrator. Chu Tiansheng cherished her deeply and followed her guidance. He even granted her the title of Empress, not only showering her with affection but also adopting the modern legal system at her suggestion.

As a result, the nation transformed into a society resembling modern times.

In reality, such a scenario was improbable.

However, in the world created by the author, if the author deemed it possible, then it could unquestionably occur. The current world they inhabited was a virtual realm derived from a book—a world molded by the author’s imagination.

How it began, how it evolved, and what it ultimately became all lay within the author’s creative purview.

Therefore, Qin Zhenzhen had no intentions of altering the subsequent plot.

In the book, after the female protagonist’s transmigration, she would assist Chu Tiansheng in ascending to the throne and subsequently reform the country’s legal system.

Qin Zhenzhen eagerly anticipated this development, imagining life in a system resembling modern society within an ancient era. The prospect of breathing clean, pollution-free air, gazing upon a pristine starry sky, and indulging in uncontaminated food excited her.

During her free moments, she envisioned touring natural landscapes, admiring nature’s exquisite craftsmanship, and reveling in the beauty of untouched ecological wonders, distinct from modern tourist attractions that often bore the mark of human intervention.

Now that Su Bin had aligned himself with Chu Tiansheng’s faction, the likelihood of him turning to the dark side was minimal. Qin Zhenzhen could reasonably set her worries aside. Her current focus was on accumulating wealth, striving to become the wealthiest individual in the country.

Another objective was to prevent Su Ning from developing romantic feelings for Chu Tiansheng. The most effective approach would be to help Su Ning find a suitable engagement partner—one who aligned with Su Ning’s preferences.

As she accomplished this second goal, Qin Zhenzhen felt a sense of relief. Su Ning was still young, and there was plenty of time to work toward this objective. According to the book’s plot, Su Ning’s second encounter with Chu Tiansheng was slated to occur five or six years in the future. Qin Zhenzhen hoped that this aspect of the plot would remain unchanged.

Over the next five to six years, she wanted to ensure that Su Ning did not cross paths with Chu Tiansheng or engage in any interactions with him that could lead to deep infatuation and a tragic outcome.

“Let’s set this matter aside for now. Your third brother hasn’t even participated in the Beijing examination yet, so it’s premature to discuss it,” Qin Zhenzhen advised.

Su Ning nodded in agreement. “I understand that I shouldn’t have brought this up. Third Sister-in-law, you won’t hold it against me for being meddlesome, will you?”

“Why would I?” Qin Zhenzhen reassured her.

“Then please don’t mention to Third Brother that I shared this with you.”

“Rest assured, I won’t mention it to him.”

Qin Zhenzhen patted Su Ning’s shoulder and changed the topic.

“I have something to ask of you.”

“Go and find out why Chen Shanshan is still not engaged.”

“It’s best if we can find out if she has a sweetheart..
