Cen Xi never imagined that going out to worship Buddha and utter a complaint would make her trendy, becoming a transmigrator.
Others transmigrate to become rich young ladies, or empresses, or...
“Cousin, we have a plan, what do you think? This woman is only ruining our reputation by staying in our mansion. If we spread this rumor throughout the city, she probably won’t stay in this mansion if she has any shame.”
Seeing Jun Xiaoqiao agree, Jun Jianling rolled his eyes and then made a suggestion.
"After she's done all that, do you think he'll still care about rumors? If you want to drive a wedge between her and Prime Minister Shen, you can go outside and find a few men to create the illusion that he's having an affair. That might be more effective."
Jun Xiaoqiao gave Jun Xiaoqiao a wicked look, thinking of the classic scenes of framing the female protagonist in novels she used to read, and couldn't help but say those words.
Sigh, her cousin has no brains at all. Can rumors really hurt someone as thick-skinned as Cen Xi? Isn't it just that she wants to get Prime Minister Shen? She wants to get a man and make him disappointed in his woman.
That woman must have cheated on that man. How can you steal a man if you can't even understand that?
"That's right, that's right. Rumors might not be able to hurt her. Only if she loses her virginity to someone else can Chen Xiang and my brother see his true colors. Xiao Qiao, you really are the kind of person who can dominate the Yuan family. You have so many ideas in your head."
Upon hearing Jun Xiaoqiao's words, Jun Jianling's eyes lit up. She was being narrow-minded; allowing that woman to have an affair with someone else was a fatal victory.
"It's just that this person might be a bit hard to find. After a plague and a major war, it's probably hard to find those beggars and hooligans in the city."
Seeing that the three of them were very interested, and considering that there really weren't any good goods in the city, Jun Xiaoqiao deliberately feigned a mournful tone.
"You don't need to worry about this cousin. Do you remember those spoiled brats who used to fight with Wen Qihe? They're the most lustful and unrestrained. They'd be happy to ask them for help. Besides, that woman has a great figure and a pretty face. They'd be overjoyed and would definitely be more than happy to have her."
When the topic of candidates came up, Jun Jianling looked confident and repeatedly told Jun Xiaoqiao not to worry.
"That's good. Actually, I don't know that woman very well. She's prettier than me, has children, and still gets so many good men to like her. It's infuriating. I only approached her to scheme against her. Since the sisters all dislike her, we'll slowly figure out a way to bring her down."
Jun Xiaoqiao looked indignant, as if she were genuinely jealous of Cen Xi. Her words were even more resentful than those of the three women from before.
"That's right, that's right. She's a widow, what right does she have? If she's going to be popular with men, she should be like Sister Qiao. A shameless woman like that, who likes to seduce men, should be ridden by thousands of men. Since she's so flirtatious, we should give her a big gift."
After Jun Xiaoqiao finished speaking, Jun Jianfang clapped her hands in delight, just as she had echoed Jun Jianling and Fu Jingyi earlier.
Jun Xiaoqiao was speechless. What kind of crazy thing was she doing now?
As for the other two, could she tell who they liked? That's why she resented Cen Xi. But what's wrong with this girl? Does she also like Shen Xiang? Or is she just hiding it well?
“Ninth Sister is absolutely right. Since she likes to flirt with other women, let her flirt with three or four as much as she wants. As long as my brother sees through this rotten woman’s true colors, they will definitely kick him out.”
Jun Jianling was delighted to hear this; her wicked eyes sparkled, clearly showing her excitement.
"I'm afraid this isn't a good idea. As a fellow woman, I feel bad about damaging the other person's reputation like this."
Seeing them chattering away about the matter, Fu Jingyi's eyes flashed with worry, and then she said hesitantly.
"Sister Fu, you're just kind-hearted and timid. How could such a vixen deserve your sympathy? Don't worry, you don't need to get involved. We can take care of it with a wave of our hand. You just need to watch the show from the sidelines. With a gentle, dignified, and virtuous woman like you, I'm really hoping you'll become our sister-in-law."
Seeing that Fu Jingyi was having second thoughts, Jun Jianfang quickly sat down in front of her to comfort her.
Seeing Fu Jingyi's teary eyes, Jun Jianling couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. This woman was quite the actor; she clearly wanted to kill that whore, yet she was pretending to care for her. Did she have no shame?
As Fu Jingyi finished speaking, Jun Xiaoqiao licked her gums and exclaimed, "Oh, a white lotus! I've often heard people talk about her before, and today I finally see what she looks like. It's a real feast for the eyes!"
"Since everyone agrees to fabricate that woman's scheme, we need a well-thought-out plan. Sword Spirit is right, targeting those纨绔 (spoiled brats) is a good idea. Let's divide the tasks. What do you think?"
Seeing that they were still arguing, Jun Xiaoqiao interrupted, her eyes sparkling. What's the use of just arguing? Taking action is the most reliable thing to do. She wondered how Cen Xi would react to such a generous gift; she was really looking forward to it.
“I think Ninth Sister is the boldest. You can handle hiring those playboys. We'll provide the money. As long as you do a good job, I'll give you the set of jewelry I made earlier as payment.”
Jun Jianling glanced at Jun Xiaoqiao, then looked at Jun Jianfang and said.
“Great! Great! Punishing the wicked and upholding justice is my specialty. Leave this to me, no problem at all. But I am indeed short of money. I am very grateful that Seventh Sister is considering my needs.”
Seeing how much they trusted her and that they were paying her, and that she would even receive a reward in the end, Jun Jianfang was overjoyed.
Her father was a gambler, and although she was a young lady of the Jun family, her life wasn't even as good as that of the first-class maids in the governor's mansion. How could she possibly miss such a lucrative opportunity?
"It would be wonderful if Ninth Sister agreed. Here, I'll give you these two gold ingots. Keep them. Do a good job, and we'll come to you again if we need anything like this in the future."
Seeing that Jun Jianling had found a scapegoat so quickly, Jun Xiaoqiao felt that her previous thinking was a bit narrow-minded. This girl wasn't smart at all; look how ingenious her idea of avoiding trouble was!
Since that's the case, she added fuel to the fire by taking off the pair of silver hairpins from her head and handing them to Jun Jianfang.
“Cousin, since you hate that woman so much, you should contribute money. Besides, as the matriarch of the Yuan family, you are much richer than us. You should at least give us a hundred taels.”
Jun Jianling gave her a meaningful look and then said with a smile.
"Here, of course I'll give it to you. I have exactly one hundred taels here. Jianfang, you can take it first."
Jun Xiaoqiao glanced at Jun Jianling with a smile, then decisively pulled out a hundred taels of silver.
"It seems my cousin really hates that woman. She took out a hundred taels without hesitation. I believe her. Jianfang, here you go, I'll give you a hundred taels too. If this matter is handled well, I can give you another hundred taels."
