Quick Transmigration Cannon Fodder's Record of Counterattacks

Chapter 239: Three Parts Fate, Seven Parts Effort

When Lady Qi heard that Ning Shu wasn’t willing to help her, her face twisted in anger and she screamed, “Why!?”

Ning Shu replied mildly, “You were the one that caused your son, Liu Ruyi, to die. As a mother, you didn’t bother to protect your son and had only cared about wealth and glory.”

“No, Ruyi was killed by Lu Zhi!” Lady Qi refuted fiercely when she heard what Ning Shu said.

“Originally, although your son couldn’t become the emperor, he was still a prince, but you insisted on making the decision for your son. It would be strange if Lu Zhi would let your son off after that,” said Ning Shu.

After Liu Bang died, Lady Qi was forced by Lu Zhi to don prison garbs and wear an iron cangue like a criminal. She was imprisoned in Ningbo and forced to mill rice without stop. She finally couldn’t take it anymore and made a song as a message for her son to help get her out of there.

Lady Qi’s soul become increasingly dim. She was probably about to leave the system space. Soon, she disappeared, but the system space still echoed with Lady Qi’s shouts. “No! It’s not like that! It’s not like that!”

Ning Shu exhaled heavily. She had no desire to get involved in something so messy, and in reality, she stood firmly on the side of the legal wife. Even if taking multiple wives were allowed and expected in the ancient era, she still couldn’t help but feel emotional opposition to it.

Lu Zhi, as the daughter of a wealthy family, had been married to Liu Bang, who at that time had nothing and did nothing. She cooked and cleaned for Liu Bang and even raised his children, so her youthful beauty was soon worn away by life’s daily demands. She had even been captured by Xiang Yu and was held hostage for two years. She waited through the painful times for Liu Bang to rescue her, however, at that time, Liu Bang actually started enjoying himself with Lady Qi.

Lady Qi enjoyed glory that came from imperial favor while Lu Zhi had nothing but the position of empress. In addition, Lady Qi was very ambitious and incited Liu Bang to get rid of the crown prince and establish her own son as the crown prince, so the consequences that resulted when her schemes failed couldn’t be blamed on anyone else.

Lu Zhi was ruthless and cruel, but there was a reason she had turned into this from the indulged, intelligent, and innocent young girl she once was. Behind every heartless and cruel woman was a man that didn’t have any sense of loyalty and integrity. Too much pain, disappointment, and despair, would turn even the softest heart into cold, hard iron.

Ning Shu felt that if she had been Lu Zhi, she would’ve done the same thing. Of course, she’d kill Liu Bang off first. That sort of grassroots emperor who forgets favors and violates justice was seriously disgusting.

“Let me see the next task,” said Ning Shu to 2333.

2333 hastily said, “Ning Shu, you can’t reject the task this time. No matter what kind of task it is, you must accept it.”

“Alright, I got it,” said Ning Shu with a nod.

Right after she spoke, another figure started appearing in the space. When that figure finally came into clear view, Ning Shu was dumbfounded.

It was a woman, a very beautiful woman. Her soul seemed to be stronger than Lady Qi’s because she looked like an actual person of flesh and blood as she stood in front of Ning Shu.

Just the sight of her lit up the room and immediately attracted people’s desires. The quality of the clothes she was wearing was extremely good, and though there was no wind in the space, the clothes on her body seemed to billow slightly, giving her an ethereal air.

This was Ning Shu’s first time ever seeing such a beautiful woman. Her facial features seemed innocent and untainted by the world, but she had a extremely good figure. Her delicate and slim waist was emphasized by a waist belt. The parts that should be slim were slim, and the parts that were supposed to be filled out were filled out.

She was so beautiful, what troubles could she possibly have? There was a saying, that three parts were decided by the Heavens, seven parts were decided by your efforts, and ninety parts were completely decided by your face.

Those who were cannon fodders usually had completely negligible looks.

Ning Shu felt that this woman wasn’t simple. For some reason, she had a bad premonition.

After entering the space, the woman looked around, then asked Ning Shu, “Are you the one who will be counterattacking for me?”

Her voice was incomparably soft. The moment Ning Shu heard this voice, she involuntarily shivered. She almost lost control when she heard this voice even though she was a woman, so men probably had no resistance at all towards this voice.

It was extremely charming since it was gentle and soft, and also contained a hint of innocence. Seriously.

“I am,” said Ning Shu with a nod.

#comment: The ‘saying’ three parts were decided by the Heavens and seven parts were decided by your efforts comes from the song by Ye Qitian, Only Those Who Love to Work Hard Will Succeed. The part about ninety parts were completely decided by your face was added on by others as a semi-truthful joke.
