"Sigh..." This was the thirty-ninth time Shi Anan sighed today.

Fu Xin, who had rushed to serve her after she recovered from her illness, was surprised. The young lady seemed to have changed a lot after waking up from the water. Although she had lost her memory due to the high fever, her personality had also changed.

Shi Anan had no intention of continuing to imitate the original owner's personality. That timid and cowardly look was too unsuitable for her. This was a good opportunity to reveal her true personality. Although it would arouse some suspicion, people would only think it was caused by amnesia and would not suspect that she was possessed by a ghost.

"Miss, why have you been sighing all day today? Are you feeling bored?" Fu Xin couldn't help but ask after hearing Shi Anan sigh for the fortieth time.

"Ah, it's okay, you do your thing, I'm just thinking about something." When Shi Anan heard Fu Xin calling her, she replied perfunctorily. She couldn't tell her that she was troubled by the system task.

Yes, after accepting the reality, Shi Anan still looked at the tasks that the waiter had given her. Currently, only two main lines have been revealed, which are the apocalypse line and the infrastructure line:

[Main Quest: Doomsday Line 1: Successfully avoid the natural disaster two months later and survive (Status: In Progress)]

[Main Mission Infrastructure Line 1: Find and activate the construction area (Status: In Progress)]

This crappy system is clearly an infrastructure game system, and I don’t know why the main storyline also has a doomsday storyline.

When you ask the customer service, they will only say that we are an advanced infrastructure system that will automatically adapt to the current social status to issue tasks. This is the apocalyptic world, so naturally there is an apocalyptic main line.

However, this apocalypse announcement is so perfunctory: time: two months later, which day exactly? I don’t know! What kind of apocalypse exactly? Please figure it out yourself! If she can figure it out, why would she need your system?

Moreover, I don’t know how to trigger the side quests, and I can’t complete the main quests at the moment.

She has no money, no friends, and it's hard for her to even go out. How can she save her life? Luck? If she was lucky, she wouldn't be bound by this broken system.

Fu Xin watched her young lady sigh again, wondering if she was just bored. After a moment's thought, she said, "Miss, how about I take you for a walk? The doctor said that you need to exercise regularly to stay healthy."

Shi Anan thought about it and realized that staying in the house all the time would be useless except for causing trouble. It would be better to walk around and get familiar with the road conditions. So she readily agreed to Fuxin's suggestion.

Although the original owner was not favored, the courtyard where she lived was still quite large from her modern perspective. After all, land is very expensive nowadays. Even if she is an engineer with no shortage of money, it would be very difficult for her to buy a large flat in a prosperous area.

She had been here for a few days. She hadn't exercised for a long time and had just recovered from a serious illness. She felt tired even after walking a little. In addition, Fu Xin had not recovered yet in the past two days, and she was not familiar with the road conditions here, so she had never left her house for a walk.

She would not live long in this apocalypse with a body like this, so she had to find a way to exercise, starting with today's walk.

Fu Xin led her to walk slowly while introducing the house to her. The original owner's courtyard was large because it was far from the main courtyard. The favored people in the mansion did not want to live in such a remote corner, so it was allocated to the invisible original owner. There were few buildings here, and the space was relatively large. There was a bamboo forest outside the door. Although it was desolate, it was quiet.

As they walked, they passed by a backyard against the outer wall. There was a small pond and several exquisite rockery in the backyard. Looking over the wall, the house next door was even more exquisitely built. It must be the residence of a noble.

Shi Anan was a little curious: "Who lives next door?"

Fu Xin quietly made a shushing gesture and whispered to her, "Miss, the person who lived next door before was the Duke of Wei."

Seeing Fu Xin being so cautious, Shi An'an also asked in a low voice, "Before? Who lives here now? We were neighbors with the Duke of Weiguo before?"

It's no wonder that Shi Anan was surprised. After all, her father Shi Zhengde was only a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Works. This was a big position in local areas, but anyone below the third rank was just an ant. If you just walked on the street, you could meet some earls and marquises from the capital. Not to mention the noble dukes, it would be difficult for her father, with his rank, to be a neighbor of a powerful third-rank minister.

Fu Xin looked at Shi An'an speechlessly and continued to explain, "No one lives there now. The Duke of Wei was convicted of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and his property was directly confiscated. The Duke of Wei will be executed soon. Fortunately, the emperor is kind enough to sentence only the Duke of Wei to death, and the rest of the men have been saved. However, they will be exiled in two months, and I don't know how many of them will survive."

Exile in this era was very terrifying, not only because of the inconvenience of being exiled to a remote place, but also because of the inconvenience of transportation in ancient times. One had to walk thousands of miles on foot. Some soldiers escorting prisoners would exploit these fallen nobles in order to earn travel expenses. If someone was uncomfortable on the road, they would carry them if they could, but if they couldn't, they could only wait to die.

It was okay for adult men, but as for the elderly, the weak, women and children, there were almost no ones who could survive and reach the place of exile.

Shi Anan never expected that the Duke of Weiguo next door would be convicted of such a serious crime as treason and betrayal. No wonder no one dares to live in their mansion now, because they are afraid of being associated with the Duke of Weiguo and incurring the wrath of the emperor.

However, what happened to the Duke of Weiguo's family had nothing to do with her, a mere concubine's daughter of a doctor in the Ministry of Works, so she just treated it as gossip.

"Then why were our family able to live next door to them before?" Shi Anan was still very curious about this question.

When Fu Xin heard Shi An'an's question, she replied in surprise: "Miss, have you even forgotten this? We can live in such a good area, of course it's because the master is rich."

Her scumbag father is rich! Shi Anan widened her eyes in surprise. Her scumbag father is so rich, why is she so poor? Is this the treatment of an unfavored daughter...

Actually, Shi Zhengde did not earn this money. He was originally a poor boy from the village. But he was good-looking. Before he passed the imperial examination, he was able to hook up with the daughter of the local county magistrate with his looks. Then he relied on the county magistrate's daughter's financial support to climb up the social ladder. After he passed the imperial examination, the county magistrate's daughter wanted to marry him to fulfill their friendship.

As a result, Shi Zhengde turned around and hooked up with the daughter of the Zhongyuan Earl, Fang, Shi An'an's biological mother. Although Fang was only a concubine of the Earl's family, she also had the support of the Earl's family, so she was naturally more helpful to his future than the daughter of the county magistrate. He also climbed to the position of Langzhong of the Ministry of Works with the support of his Yue family.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. After the death of Zhongyuan Earl's great-grandfather, the current Zhongyuan Earl, Fang's elder brother, was an uneducated and unlearned scoundrel. If it were not for his title of eldest son, it would have been far from his turn to be the Earl.

It was because he became the Earl of Zhongyuan that the Earl of Zhongyuan's Mansion gradually withdrew from the center of power. The Earl of Zhongyuan's Mansion, which was only supported by a name, could no longer help Shi Zhengde's career, which led to Shi Zhengde's later behavior of taking concubines.

The second concubine in the mansion, Concubine Bai, is the daughter of the richest man in Jiangnan. Although scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans are looked down upon nowadays, as the daughter of the richest man in Jiangnan, she can get a position as a high-ranking official's wife even if she spends a lot of money.

As for why she condescended to become Shi Zhengde's second concubine, it was because of Shi Zhengde's face. Women are a bit reckless when they are in love. It was also because of taking Bai Yi Niang as a concubine that Shi Zhengde suddenly changed from a poor boy to a wealthy doctor in the Ministry of Industry. Naturally, he could buy a house in this prosperous area at will.

When An An said this, she became curious about how handsome her scumbag father was. So many beauties were willing to fall for him and spend money on him.

However, when she saw her own appearance, Shi Anan was still very confident about her scumbag father's face. After all, there were not many people as beautiful as her before they grew up. It was just that the original owner always kept her head down and lacked confidence, so her beauty was buried.

This time she must take good care of her face. She must not ruin her beautiful face like she did in her previous life. Her mother is a beauty and her father is a handsome man. She will not grow ugly, not even if the end of the world comes!
