All Worlds Beg the Villainess to Act Like a Human

Chapter 346: Chapter 346: The Abused Heroine Awakens (22)

Qiann Yan: ”No, after experiencing countless lifetimes, I have countless ways. I don’t need to imprison them in the underground palace anymore. Now they’re all working for me across the land, willingly.”

”Those who rebel will be imprisoned in the underground palace, but those who help me will gain dignity and live better lives than in the Imperial Palace. What do you think they’ll choose?”

System 666: Impressive.

[Even the Emperor is working for you?]

Qiann Yan: ”No, he’s not comfortable with me being the Emperor, so how could he bow down and submit? I sent him to the underground palace to retire.”

[Then...] System 666 actually wanted to ask about Qiann Yan’s biological mother, but quickly swallowed the words.

He really was too daring to think of asking the Host such a sensitive question.

”What is it?”

[Nothing, nothing. I just think the Host is amazing! I admire you so much. Today, I’ve finally found my purpose and understand why I’m called System 666, because I exist to shout 666 for the Host.]

System 666’s flattery caused Qiann Yan to smile slightly at the corners of her eyes.

At this time, Qiann Yan had already arrived at the financial office. Seeing the accountant, she said directly, ”I need to go out for a while, and I’d like to take some silver.”

The accountant hesitated for a moment and asked, ”Does the Princess Consort have the Prince’s Jade Token?”

Although the Princess Consort should manage the Prince Mansion, this matter was special in Prince Ling Mansion. The Prince had not given any instructions to let the Princess Consort manage the household, so naturally, the request for silver couldn’t be approved easily, even if she was the Princess Consort.

Besides, it was well-known throughout Prince Ling Mansion that the Prince did not favor the Princess Consort. He would have to eat a leopard’s courage to dare to privately give silver to the Princess Consort.

”I’ll go find him.”

The accountant wiped his brow, murmuring to himself.

On the other side, Jing Lingyu had just taken some medication, but due to special circumstances, he could only wet his lips with water. According to Doctor Lee, this had to continue for several days.

Otherwise, even a single mistake could ruin everything.

Upon hearing that Qiann Yan came to see him, he was just about to say he wouldn’t see her when she entered the room.

Despite having a stunning face, Jing Lingyu wanted nothing more than to jump up and beat her to death, without a trace of being amazed by her beauty.

But he couldn’t move. He had to clutch the bed sheets tightly, his fingers turning white, to resist the urge to jump up and hit her.

”What do you want?”

”I want to go out and buy something, and I plan to get some silver from the financial office, but I need your Jade Token. Lend it to me, will you?”

Upon hearing this, Jing Lingyu’s anger flared up. Her shopping has nothing to do with him!

”Don’t you have a dowry?” Jing Lingyu was furious. Normally, he wouldn’t say such things, but faced with Cheng Qianyan, the venomous woman, he couldn’t restrain himself. He didn’t want to spend a penny on her.

He wished he could skin her, eat her flesh, and drink her blood. How could he possibly want to spend money on her?

Is she dreaming?

”You mean, you marry me and don’t provide for me, and I have to spend money to support myself?” Qiann Yan asked, ”Is the Prince Mansion so poor?”

”Absolutely not,” Jing Lingyu gritted his teeth. No matter what, he would settle this account slowly once he recovered. He had to bear it now.

”Then I’ll go to the palace and ask Father for help.” Qiann Yan turned and was about to leave, ”The Seventh Brother just said yesterday, if I have any difficulty, I can ask him. I’ll borrow some; it’s normal for brothers to occasionally help each other.”

”Cheng Qianyan!” Jing Lingyu shouted loudly, ”Stop right there!”

If this matter got to the palace, wouldn’t he become everyone’s laughing stock?

The key is, he wouldn’t be in the right if it got out, and he couldn’t reveal the grievances between them.

He was about to explode.
