"From now on, according to my orders, send meals to Son-in-law based on what I eat. Make another portion and send it over immediately."
I had a thousand grievances in my heart.
From my observations during this time, I realized that the malicious targeting in this household did not begin with my arrival. The original owner had long informed everyone that this new Son-in-law was to be disregarded and could be bullied at will. If I hadn't occasionally intervened when he was being picked on, I shuddered to think of what would have happened to my husband!
Upon returning to the room, I found him kneeling on a pile of stone. Just looking at him made my knees ache, so I hurried over and pulled him up. "What are you doing? Get up quickly."
"I upset Wife, so I should be punished." The disgust in his eyes didn't seem appropriate at all.
I dragged him up and forced him to sit at the table. "There's no such thing as 'should' here. You need to take care of your delicate skin."
I took out some ointment to treat his wounds, but before my hand could touch his clothes, he dodged away.
"No need to trouble yourself; it's not the first time. I've gotten used to it. If you want to create a facade of caring for me for the sake of your reputation, next time I'll just kneel in front of you at night with the door tightly shut."
Watching his quick movements left me stunned. "What do you mean you've gotten used to it? Do you often kneel like this?" I pointed at the stone with shock in my eyes.
"Wife need not worry. Since it's already done, why fear admitting it? You can rest assured that I won't go out and speak recklessly."
After saying that, he turned and limped away.
I couldn't make sense of it all, so I called a servant over to ask. After hearing their response and seeing the glee on their face, my heart felt like a thousand galloping horses.
"Miss, wasn't it your order before? As long as he makes you unhappy, have him kneel on the stone."
After dismissing the servant, I lay down on the bed with my eyes closed, deep in thought. Everything about this situation felt strange. Since this malicious system only bound itself to me after I arrived, why had the abuse against him already begun?
"System, come out! Are you hiding something from me?"
"System?"
"A Tong? Tongzi?"
"I want to take on a new mission!"
"You’re playing deaf, huh? Fine, then I’ll pretend to be deaf when you send tasks later."
"I'm not just going to pretend; I’ll make sure my handsome husband is spoiled by everyone in the manor, ruining all the efforts you’ve made before."
"Host, you can't do this. We are the Malicious Growth System. Acting this way will shorten your lifespan."
"Don't try to scare me with that. Just tell me honestly what’s going on. Did you really bind me after I arrived?"
"Host, I did conceal some things from you. The original host was bound before, but she was a domineering and unreasonable person."
"No one knows what happened, but she suddenly died."
"I don’t want to be asked by the Main System to start over when there’s only 30% of the task left."
"So I used the energy I had saved up to summon you to replace the original host and continue the mission. But I can only summon people who have already passed away. The fact that you could be summoned means your original body no longer has any vital signs."
"Tongzi, if what you say is true, then why do I remember just marrying Liu Wenxing? Was that also your doing?"
"I'm sorry, Host, but if we don't complete the remaining 30% of the task, we will truly be stuck in this mission loop."
