Chapter 379: Ancient Dimension, Cannon Fodder Jin 7, Whose Marriage Was Snatched Away by His Cousin
"How can I allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed?" Now that I am back to my old age, I should not make some unnecessary mistakes. For example, the Prince Zhao's Mansion, which harbors evil intentions, should be punished and made an example of to scare others.
The emperor fell asleep for two days for no reason, and the Imperial Household Department was extremely busy, summoning everyone one after another.
From the chefs in the imperial kitchen to the purchase of ingredients, everything needs to be reported in detail, for fear that any mistakes may lead to hidden poison risks.
The eunuchs and palace maids on duty were also called in in batches and subjected to strict interrogation by the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They were required to recall every subtle movement and every word of the emperor before and after he fell asleep.
The imperial guards responsible for guarding the palace were also unable to stay out of the incident. They strengthened their patrols and alertness, and carried out more stringent inspections of people and materials entering and leaving the palace. The entire imperial city was shrouded in a tense and depressing atmosphere.
This is just what happens when the emperor wakes up for one day.
As for this matter, Miaomiao, a businessman who was busy and exhausted in the imperial city, naturally did not know about it.
However, in the evening, the maid assigned to Shi Shu told her that Shi Shu had already paid a large sum of money to an official's daughter in order to attend the banquet hosted by the minister's daughter.
As a result, the money was given, but the minister's daughter suddenly decided not to hold the banquet for some reason, and the money was not recovered.
Although Shi Shu's money belonged to the Shi family, Miao Miao was actually quite happy to hear the news. When she was in such a state of panic, it would be better if others didn't have too much free time.
"Baobao, what do you think? How about I imitate the plot in some melodramatic novels and directly express my intention to marry that bastard, and then poison that prostitute to death on our wedding night?
Then, while everyone was present at the wedding, he said that King Zhao had evil intentions and was planning a rebellion?
Do you think this method will be simple, crude and effective?"
After looking at the account books for a whole day, Miaomiao felt even more depressed. This was a big company and the work was really heavy.
If it was just a heavy workload, Miaomiao could accept it. The problem was that there was always a knife hanging over his head. Under such imperial rule, although King Zhao was just a small shrimp in front of the emperor.
But in front of these low-ranking merchants, it was heavier than a mountain. The other party still looked like a good guy and was the uncle of the current emperor...
Baobao silently estimated the time. Today was Miaomiao's first day in this dimension...
I hope Miaomiao hasn't started seeking death before that beastly boss comes.
Otherwise, the "reincarnation of the jealous spirit" might keep Miao Miao out of bed for a few days...
But Baobao, who was already familiar with Miaomiao's thought process, did not directly reject it.
"...You mean to say that you plan to spend the next three years caring for that prostitute prince, pretending to be deeply in love with him, and constantly enduring any possible intimate actions from him?
After all, according to records, Shi Shu had already had sex with her brother-in-law in an accident before her marriage.
Even though it wasn’t written in the introduction, it had already happened.”
Baobao asked calmly.
Miaomiao was silent, shook her head decisively, and looked at the account book with even greater enthusiasm.
In fact, even Miaomiao's father is not so busy from morning to night. These accountants and even the shopkeepers are not just there to eat and do nothing.
But after the most important person left, people's hearts inevitably wavered and they became more selfish.
When the old wolf dies, the one who replaces him is not a little wolf, but a little sparrow, which is bound to arouse greed.
"As of now, the two of them were just flirting a little bit, and the man selling his ass accepted everyone who came.
And my good cousin pretended to be ignorant and deliberately flirted with me."
Miaomiao said this, spread her hands, and decided not to pretend to be smart anymore.
"Okay, I won't pretend anymore. With my intelligence and your ability, I don't think I can figure out how to fight back.
But I don’t like it when I’m unhappy while others are happy.
So, since I can’t figure out what to do, I might as well just do what I can.”
Miaomiao has been pretending for a whole day and feels more exhausted than spending a year in Interstellar. And thinking that if she's lucky, she might be able to keep going like this for decades...
The sky is falling.
“In the final analysis, the most disgusting person in this plane’s main storyline is not that butcher prince, but the original owner’s ungrateful cousin.
The original owner's family was broken up, and her mother brought her back home and provided her with fine clothes and delicious food. Even though the original owner's parents did not give her 100% of their care, at least they did not let her live on the streets.
If the original owner's mother had not offered a helping hand and let the ungrateful person be taken away by her father's tribe, it would have been good enough to have enough food and clothing.
Not to mention his 100% concern for her.
Human beings themselves are a kind of strange animals. It is normal for them to give 100% care to their own children, but it is against common sense to give partial care to cubs that are not their own.
But when the original owner's parents died, she just pretended to be sad. A few days later, she went out to attend a party, as if the person who took care of her had never appeared.
Later on, she hooked up with the original owner's fiancé who was a bitch. The original owner didn't even have a funeral and was buried in a small grave.
Just thinking about it makes me angry.
Fortunately, it’s just the beginning now, and I can’t deal with this selling-ass prince now, but I can deal with my ungrateful cousin.
Now that you have reached marriage age, it is time for you to be self-reliant."
After Miaomiao complained to Baobao, she looked at the sky. It was quite late, which was great.
"Cuihuan, ask my cousin to come over. I have something to talk to her about."
Miaomiao leaned lazily on the carved pear wood chair, flipping through the account book in her hand slowly.
Cuihuan, who was helping to arrange the teacups on the table, heard the young lady's instructions and responded by walking out the door.
Not long after, Shi Shushu, wearing a light pink dress and looking pitiful, appeared at the door.
I saw her eyebrows slightly frowned, as if she had suffered a great injustice. She even coughed twice deliberately when she saw her looking at me. The sound was not loud, but it revealed her fragility.
It seemed like she was reminding Miaomiao that it was unreasonable for her to come to her so late.
"Cousin, why did you call me here so late? Is there something important?
I had already gone to bed, but the night was so cold that I couldn't stand the chill."
As Shi Shushu spoke, she raised her hand and gently touched her chest, as if she was really hurt by the cold night air.
"By the way, do you still want to go to the party you said you really wanted to go to during the day?"
Miaomiao asked casually, with the account book still in her hand. After asking, she looked at the account book again, as if she didn't know which banquet had been called off.
Shi Shu's face froze, then she lowered her eyes and spoke.
"Then it's better not to go to the party..."
Unfortunately, she couldn't say the following words because Miaomiao nodded, interrupting her unfinished words.
"Okay, then I get it. The main reason I asked you to come is because the Shi family is in financial difficulty right now. I'm already struggling to manage this huge estate on my own, so I'm planning to hand over the estates of my aunt and uncle to you."
It doesn't make sense that I'm broke and exhausted because of her, yet she can still wander around...
