Chapter 1151: The Princess Consort Whose Memories Were Altered (26)

In truth, Tang Jiao had never been able to sit still. She disliked sitting obediently while listening to a teacher lecture.

Tang Guo, however, was completely different. This proper young lady from a noble family had been quiet and composed since childhood.

She would attentively learn everything the teacher taught, and in the evenings, when she had free time, she would pull Tang Jiao over and teach her personally. Fortunately, Tang Jiao was intelligent and always listened to her sister.

As a result, even though she rarely paid attention during lessons, she still managed to learn almost everything.

They had interacted like this since childhood.

So how could Tang Jiao possibly forget the pain those two men had inflicted upon her sister just because of love?

That was why her obsession had become so powerful.

She had paid an enormous price to summon a task-taker like herself, all for the sake of changing the fate of the most important person in her life and allowing her to live happily forever.

Moreover, Tang Jiao believed that if she hadn't run around so recklessly, she would never have met Shangguan Yi and Shangguan Jing. Her sister naturally would never have been harmed and perhaps could have found a good husband and lived a happy life.

It was all because she had been too lively and carefree.

In the end, she had implicated her own sister and brought those two heartless beasts into their lives.

Faced with men like them, what chance did they have to resist?

Tang Guo affectionately stroked Tang Jiao's head and chuckled softly.

“Very well. You love freedom, and I will help you fulfill that wish.”

Tang Jiao suddenly felt her nose sting.

Having such a sister who thought of her so deeply was truly wonderful.

If she had possessed such a wonderful elder sister herself, she wouldn't have accepted fate either.

“Sister, what should we do next?”

After some thought, Tang Guo said, “For now, we'll continue according to our memories and allow them to exchange our memories as before. Of course, this time, our memories won't actually be altered.”

“All right. I was thinking the same thing.”

Tang Jiao nodded. She felt the idea was excellent.

“And then?”

Tang Guo narrowed her eyes.

“Don't they both love lively and adorable girls like Jiaojiao?”

Tang Jiao's face reddened slightly.

Being praised so directly for the first time left her a little embarrassed.

“Jiaojiao, are you willing to make a small sacrifice this time?”

Tang Jiao immediately grew interested.

“Sister, what kind of sacrifice?”

She had a feeling things were about to become very interesting.

According to the original plot, this proper noble lady had never been stupid. She had simply never found it necessary to go beyond the rules.

But now…

Now that she had awakened, one might even say she had darkened somewhat.

Tang Jiao absolutely loved this type of character.

She had always enjoyed stories where a kind and devoted young lady, after suffering betrayal and heartbreak, blackened and slapped her enemies in the face.

“Jiaojiao, this time, continue acting as the lively and carefree girl. Become a fairy untouched by the mundane world, ignorant of the hardships of ordinary people, someone who only knows poetry and songs—a dream maiden who exists in the fantasies of men. Then, when she faces the harsh realities of life, they'll finally understand why such a dream maiden is called a dream maiden.”

“Because she can only exist in dreams.”

Tang Jiao already grasped the rough idea, but not entirely.

“Sister, explain a bit more. I still don't quite understand.”

“Then let me give you an example.”

Tang Guo smiled faintly.

“Suppose there is a scholar and a noble young lady.

“The scholar comes from an ordinary family. The young lady is of high birth, cherished since childhood, fond of poetry and books, unconcerned with worldly matters and ignorant of life's hardships.

“The scholar's family chooses for him a wife who is practical, virtuous, and suitable to his status.

“But he falls in love with this noble young lady because they share the same interests. He ignores his family's wishes and insists on being with her.

“And the young lady originally has a fiancé who matches her status, but for the sake of the scholar, she cuts ties with her family.

“In the end, she successfully marries into the scholar's household, and the two continue living exactly as they always had before.”
