After I awakened my inner voice, I became the treasure of my family.

Chapter 200 Qin Ru, a Like-Minded Partner

As expected, after hearing the name of the third brother and seeing him, the anger on Lan Die'er's face gradually dissipated and subsided.

Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but sigh and said, "Sigh, although the third brother came in handy this time, who can guarantee that he will always be so effective?"

Indeed, without exception, those who failed to appease Lan Die'er were all unfortunately poisoned by the Gu poison she had used.

Those who were poisoned by the Gu were secretly and quietly sent to other places by Gu Yunchen's men, and no one knew their exact whereabouts.

At this moment, Lan Die'er was also feeling very annoyed, muttering to herself that she must be having a run of bad luck lately, and why she had encountered so many unlucky things.

Otherwise, how could this happen? The two "good friends" she finally found were both arrested one after another.

The first one is this guy, Liu Wenrui.

Although he was a complete womanizer, he had a good father and a good brother who doted on him and loved him!

Liu Wenrui, who had nothing in common, had no shortage of money.

As long as Liu Wenrui is by her side, Lan Die'er has no need to worry about running out of money.

Unfortunately, her good fortune didn't last long. Not long after she met Liu Wenrui, the Liu family suddenly collapsed for some unknown reason.

Liu Wenrui, that lecherous scoundrel, naturally couldn't escape it either, and was also arrested and thrown into prison. Just thinking about it makes me feel incredibly unlucky.

Although it was a bit of a pity, she also made several other "good friends" after arriving in Beijing.

So she turned her attention to Luo Yuchuan. To be honest, Lan Die'er wasn't particularly satisfied with Luo Yuchuan.

After all, he was just an illegitimate child with no legitimate claim to the family, not even worthy of being compared to Gu Yunchen's older brothers.

They are of the same status, but he is a legitimate young master of the Marquis's mansion.

Compared to them, Luo Yuchuan is nothing but a bastard child who can't be seen in the light of day, and he has never been officially recognized by the Luo family.

But Luo Yuchuan was just too handsome!

Zhenzhen'er was as handsome as Pan An and as beautiful as Song Yu, making her unforgettable and touching to her.

Because of that "life-saving grace" she received back then, he remained deeply in love with her and his devotion never wavered, which also greatly satisfied her vanity.

After all, what woman in the world could resist the charm of such a handsome and affectionate man?

More importantly, Luo Yuchuan is not just all show; he is actually a man with considerable ambition.

Once he gets rid of his dull-witted younger brother, he can rightfully take over the entire Luo family business and become the rightful head of the Luo family.

When that time comes, all the gold, silver, and precious jewels of the Luo family, as well as their finest silks and satins, will surely be delivered to her obediently, given Luo Yuchuan's "love" for her, so she can squander and enjoy them as she pleases.

Alas, things didn't go as planned!

Before Luo Yuchuan could eliminate Luo Yuheng and ascend to the position of family head, he himself was defeated prematurely.

As for Liu Wenrui, he suffered this calamity because his misdeeds were exposed, and she was truly powerless to help him.

But Luo Yuchuan was utterly speechless. He was arrested simply for standing up for her.

Logically, she should be grateful to Luo Yuchuan, but at this moment she felt no emotion whatsoever. Instead, she felt that Luo Yuchuan was incredibly stupid.

Normally, she thought Luo Yuchuan was quite clever, so how come he couldn't even handle such a small matter and even tried to kidnap someone?

If you had successfully kidnapped Jiang Mianmian, that would have been fine, and she wouldn't have said anything. But Luo Yuchuan messed things up and ended up being caught red-handed.

She was such a useless piece of trash, she made her so angry that she lost all her order and errands.

No, she still needs to find a "good friend" who can get things done, and he has to be a rich man.

"Achoo! Achoo!"

Two loud sneezes came from Jiang Mianmian's mouth.

She frowned, wondering to herself: Could someone be secretly talking about me behind my back again?

Well, that must be it!

Ugh, this feeling is really unpleasant.

Now, wherever Jiang Mianmian goes, even if she stays at home, two guards will follow her closely, as if afraid that she might encounter an accident again.

The reason she was so cautious was entirely because of the kidnapping incident by Luo Yuchuan, which was a big "lesson" for her.

In fact, what Jiang Mianmian didn't know was that even without Guan Ling Shuang, the bodyguards who followed her would still protect her.

It was only because of Guan Ling Shuang's presence that they didn't make a move. They also wanted to see who was behind Luo Yu Chuan, which is why they had her kidnapped from the Marquis's mansion.

That kidnapping experience left a shadow on Jiang Mianmian, making her unusually sensitive and worried about potential dangers.

Jiang Mianmian had always believed that home was the safest and most reliable place, but reality cruelly slapped her in the face.

Even in her own home, she was not spared; she was either inexplicably poisoned or kidnapped without warning.

With one bad thing after another befalling her, Jiang Mianmian felt like she was incredibly unlucky.

Thinking about her fate of being like cannon fodder, Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but feel a deep sadness.

It seems that no matter what I do, I can't avoid all sorts of unexpected "loopholes" from appearing.

Those mysterious and unpredictable enemies were even more terrifyingly powerful. Although the Marquis's mansion had arranged for several teams of guards to patrol and protect them day and night, the enemy was still incredibly formidable.

But these guys seem to have the ability to walk through walls, always managing to sneak in unnoticed, making them incredibly difficult to defend against. They are terrifyingly strong!

This situation is so similar to the plots written in those storybooks.

Just like those female protagonists who run away with their babies, like Su Qianqian, who is clearly just an innocent and naive girl who doesn't know anything about life.

But she had amazing luck and ability. In the stories, she could not only easily break through the many checkpoints and strict defenses in the Marquis's mansion, but also easily escape to other places.

Moreover, even though she was penniless and had no money, she was still able to give birth to her child smoothly and raise the child safely.

In comparison, Jiang Mianmian felt that she was far too miserable and pitiful.

"Oh my! Qin Ru, this is really strange. This kind of idiot woman can't even understand her own daily life."

Honestly, I don't know how she manages to raise a child and live such a comfortable and carefree life.

"That's right! But, Madam, don't forget that those leading ladies are always accompanied by quite a few male supporting characters."

The female guard, Qin Ru, nodded in agreement, then lowered her voice in response.

"Yes, yes, that's it! I never understood how she survived, but now I finally get it. It's all thanks to the silent support and dedication of those male supporting characters!"

Jiang Mianmian nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Qin Ru's point of view, and couldn't help but sigh, "Isn't this the typical 'Zhong Wuyan when there's trouble, Xia Yingchun when there's no trouble' situation?"

Look at Zhong Wuyan, even though she was only used as a tool to solve problems.

But she was, after all, the mother of the nation, the Empress of the Eastern Palace—a position of supreme honor, second only to the emperor!

Jiang Mianmian continued to shake her head and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, look at those male supporting characters, they're much more miserable!"

They're just complete tools! Besides constantly showering the female lead with money and offering her comfort and care, they always end up losing everything in the end...

At this moment, Qin Ru picked up the conversation and added, "Yes, yes, you're absolutely right."

Even worse, these male supporting characters might not only lose their original wealth or power in the process of vying for the female lead, but ultimately become stepping stones on the male lead's road to success!

Jiang Mianmian slowly turned her head, her gaze falling on the female guard whom the third brother had just carefully arranged for her. She was extremely satisfied.

Look, this child has won her heart. Not only is she upright and tall, but her eyebrows also reveal a heroic spirit, just like Guan Ling Shuang. She is definitely a female hero!

According to the third brother, Qin Ru also started practicing martial arts from a young age and developed remarkable skills. She was agile and her kung fu was indeed quite good.

Otherwise, the third brother wouldn't have "hired" her to protect him!

What's even more remarkable is that Qin Ru is not only quick-witted and resourceful, but also able to respond swiftly to various unexpected situations.

Furthermore, she shared the same hobby as him—she also loved reading storybooks.

That's why, as soon as they met, Jiang Mianmian felt like she had found a kindred spirit. The two got along very well and had a lot to talk about.

This made her feel that the third brother had finally done something decent.

Jiang Mianmian thought to herself: This is great! The two of them have common interests, so they can talk to each other easily. She thinks that in the future, she will have someone to talk to and she won't feel bored or lonely.

Because of this female guard, Gu Yunchen felt that his mother, Jiang Mianmian, had been much kinder to him these past few days, which made him feel somewhat flattered.

It's worth noting that although Jiang Mianmian is over forty years old, her love for storybooks has never changed.

Whenever she had free time, she would pick up a storybook and read it. In the past, people around her didn't quite understand why she read storybooks.

But now it's great, with Qin Ru as a "like-minded" person, the two of them read storybooks together and occasionally discuss the plot together, which is really interesting.
