It was already dark by the time they arrived at the Sun's mansion. Sun Ying Yue had freshened up before joining the family for dinner.
Sun family had three branch families, the first branch and the third branch family lived under the same roof as the Male God.
The first branch were known for their military prestige while the third was a lead family in court.
Sun Ying Yue's background was of the second branch family which had moved out of the main mansion several years ago. Being the successful merchant of the mainland, the second branch's capital wasn't something to scoff at.
The Sun family was known for producing sons, hence when Sun Ying Yue was born, the whole family was ecstatic; therefore, she was raised spoilt rotten.
Ying Yue happily conversed with the family that sat around the massive circular table, "grandma don't worry, daddy said he'll pop by next month during the store inspections."
The old madam huffed as she picked some roasted duck for Ying Yue, "that father of yours always forget his way home, if it wasn't for your mother telling him each month to visit me, wouldn't he already forget this old lady?!"
Ke Li Jiayi huffed again as she continued to pick the food for the adorable girl sitting next to her. The last time she had seen this lass was more than a decade ago, look at how she grew up so lovely!
That second son of hers had always made excuses to not bring her home, he must've been worried that his own mother would steal her away from him!
Ying Yue sheepishly giggled as she happily ate the food, "grandma, it's not like that, daddy really wants to visit you, but there have been problems cropping up left and right."
The old master who had been silently eating, looked up, "does he need any help?"
Ying Yue gave a bright smile as she shook her head in refusal.
"Dad, what can you even help with, I don't think sending the second brother any sweaty men will help him run his businesses," the third master spoke up while filling his wife's dish with more food.
Sun Yin Weizhe turned to look at his third son before scoffing, "isn't it better than sending him some bookworms like you, what's so good at slicing people with words when you can use a sword?"
"Dad's got the point little brother," the eldest master chirped up from his bowls of rice.
Sun Zhou Tao rolled his eyes at his father and big brother's words, "you both don't understand," he flicked his hair before looking dashingly into the distance, "words can cause more damage than swords can, and it's less messy if you know how to do it. Art, you both don't understand art."
Sun Xue Zhu rolled his eyes at his brother's words as he ate the cabbage his wife placed into his bowl, "little third, don't learn from your father, real men uses a sword. Just look at your big brother, he's already twice the size of you, and you're both only a few months apart."
Sun Shao Qing gently smiled as he sipped his tea, "uncle, you don't have to worry about me, I'm pretty well balanced."
Sun Ying Yue bowed her head as she slowly chewed her duck, wasn't it useless to tell a Male God this? He's already excelling in everything alright? If it wasn't because of the author having brain issues, the Female Lead would already have married him thousand of times over.
Sun Xue Zhu pointed at Sun Shao Qing with his chopsticks before clicking his tongue, "your figure is slender your face is beautiful even your name is feminine, aren't you afraid of not being able to find a wife?"
The two daughter-in-laws one hearing her husband's words slapped him across the back of his head while the other cooling looked at him, "brother-in-law I beg to differ, don't you know the desired husband these days is a man like our family Qing'er?"
Sun Xue Zhu clicked his tongue again as he grabbed hold of his disobedient wife's hand, "sister-in-law can you not use 'man' and 'Qing'er' in one sentence? Really doesn't sound right."
The young man who was sitting beside his brother looked up from his food, before using his sleeve to wipe his mouth, "if no one marries little Qing, I'll marry him!"
The family burst out laughing at their eldest young master's words, causing the atmosphere to become much more lively.
Ying Yue watched amused before she knocked at System. "Hey cutie, you said before I can't match the Male God with those who had their red strings snatched. How about this forbidden brother romance, wouldn't it exciting?"
The System was silent for a while before responding, "it doesn't matter which gender you match the Male Gods up with as long as it's not against our rules and the Male Gods are happy."
A creepy smile slowly formed on Ying Yue's lips, hehe, exciting, fascinating! But why does she suddenly smell the scent of blood?
Ying Yue felt a wet patch under her nose.
"Little Yue are you alright?!" The old madam panicked when she noticed the blood stained granddaughter, before yelling for the doctor, causing the whole household to erupt in a frenzy.
Minutes later Ying Yue found herself lying in bed while the doctor finished checking her up, "too much heat and excitement," was what he concluded with before writing her a prescription.
Ying Yue laid in bed dazed as she looked at the worried faces, "I'm alright really, it's just too much has happened today so I'm a little tired."
Her words were enough to convince the family to retire and take a rest themselves.
"Little agent, a quick daily update. Because of your interference between the Male God and the Female Lead today we've giving you a free spin on the Space Realm Wheel." The system looked at the long list of numbers before concluding.
Ying Yue was confused, "what Space Realm Wheel, why haven't I heard of it before?"
The system shrugged before throwing out two dice, causing them to appear in Ying Yue's left hand, "I didn't think you had a chance to spin it during your first mission so I didn't tell you."
Ying Yue pursed her lips as she opened her palm to look at the beautiful black and gold hexagon dice, "if I'm getting a roll for interfering with the Male God and Female Lead does that mean I'll get a roll each time?"
"Yes."
Wasn't that easy then? All she has to do was to stick to the Male God and prevent the Female Lead from coming near!
Ah, it's a shame in the future how Ying Yue would find out the consequence of going against the interactions between the two characters, but let's save that explanation for another day!
