[So Li Mei already started moving pieces around.]
[As expected.]
[Changing courtyard arrangements on the very first day to provoke the villain wife.]
[Classic heroine strategy.]
The guards outside exchanged shocked glances silently.
Because once again—
She was completely correct.
Li Mei truly had interfered with the arrangements earlier.
Claiming that Xi Wenzhe preferred this courtyard temporarily, she had successfully convinced the servants to move Su Yueqing away from the original Jade Spring Courtyard prepared for the lawful wife.
Inside her mind, Su Yueqing sounded more amused than angry.
[Honestly, she is very hardworking.]
[The wedding barely started and she already began plotting.]
[Professional level revenge planning.]
But after another moment—
Her thoughts suddenly changed direction.
[Still...]
She glanced toward the peaceful bamboo garden outside the windows.
[This place is actually nice.]
[Quiet.]
[Less crowded.]
[Fewer annoying people walking around pretending to be important.]
She slowly sat down beside the bed calmly.
[I honestly do not mind losing a few villain points for this.]
[I was never really interested in luxury or oversized palaces anyway.]
[Living peacefully is much more comfortable.]
The guards outside looked completely stunned.
Because according to the original plot—
The original Su Yueqing should have exploded in anger immediately after realizing she had been assigned the wrong courtyard.
She was supposed to smash things, scream at servants, accuse Li Mei publicly, and create a huge conflict inside the manor.
That event was one of the first major reasons Xi Wenzhe began truly despising his lawful wife.
But now—
This Su Yueqing simply looked around calmly and accepted everything without much concern.
Inside the room, the maids nervously observed her expression, clearly waiting for her temper to erupt.
Instead, Su Yueqing simply removed the heavy phoenix crown from her head before speaking lightly.
"You may leave first."
The servants blinked in surprise.
"...Young Madam?"
"I said leave."
Her voice remained calm, but the coldness inside it immediately made the maids lower their heads.
"Yes, Young Madam."
Soon, the servants hurried out one after another until Su Yueqing was finally left alone inside the quiet chamber.
The room instantly became peaceful again.
Su Yueqing leaned slightly against the edge of the bed and stretched her shoulders tiredly.
Then—
A familiar blue screen flickered before her eyes.
[Villain Points -10.]
Su Yueqing stared at it silently.
"...Seriously?"
[Host failed to create conflict during important plot progression.]
She almost laughed.
"So accepting peaceful housing counts as kindness now?"
[Correct.]
Su Yueqing clicked her tongue softly.
"This system truly has terrible standards."
