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...
"Miss, you need to take your medicine. Erxi has already brewed it for you, but after your commotion, the medicine got cold."
The woman in green chuckled softly before teasing him.
"Then hurry up and heat up some medicine for me, I need to recover from my injury quickly."
Cen Xi gave Qingyi a disdainful look, trying to hide her embarrassment.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
The woman in green chuckled softly before turning and leaving.
Watching her leave, Cen Xi couldn't help but make a face. What's so funny? Isn't this the most normal thing between men and women? Why make fun of her?
The next day, upon learning that Cen Xi had woken up, Jun Xiaoqiao and Zhu Yanniang, who were staying at the inn, rushed to the Prime Minister's residence.
Upon seeing them, Cen Xi's first reaction was to preemptively attack; as soon as they entered, she began to complain:
"Why did it take you two so long to get here? I've been injured for days."
Jun Xiaoqiao: "If your man hadn't been so fierce and wouldn't let us in, we would have been in long ago. Why did you have to provoke a man like this? If you hadn't woken up, we wouldn't even have been able to get in."
Zhu Yanniang: "That's right, it's too awful. We originally wanted to save you, but I didn't even get to see your face. He used acupressure on us all the way, and we even needed help to drink water. It's really too awful."
After they finished speaking, they both casually pulled up a chair and sat down, clearly indicating that they also had countless grievances in their hearts.
"So how did you get in today?"
Cen Xi looked surprised. She never expected that, besides harming him, she would also harm her friends. She was really ruthless.
"We only managed to get in by climbing over the wall while you were away attending court."
Jun Xiaoqiao looked at Cen Xi with a bit of sympathy. It's no wonder she fell for a man like that; she had no choice but to fall for him!
"So you're not afraid of him?"
Cen asked curiously.
"Of course we're not afraid of him. Now that you're awake, with you here in the Prime Minister's residence, the two of us can do whatever we want. After all, he's already been so awful. If he tries to show his true colors while you're awake, would you agree to it?"
Jun Xiaoqiao rested her chin on her hand, looking like she was about to watch a big show.
"That's right, we'll treat you to good food and drink these next few days to make up for the suffering we endured before."
Zhu Yanniang strongly agreed with Jun Xiaoqiao's words. If they couldn't win in a fight, they wouldn't be satisfied unless they found a way to get revenge elsewhere.
"Alright! I support you getting your revenge. Qingyi, are there any rooms left in this courtyard?"
Cen Xi wholeheartedly agreed with what the two said. Since they couldn't go to the palace for the time being, they could just cause trouble for him at the Prime Minister's residence. As long as he could tolerate the three of them acting up together, she would be in a good mood. Living in the capital wouldn't be a bad idea.
She had once heard a saying that men hate it when women are dramatic, so she decided to show him what that meant.
"Alright! We're starving. Quickly, have your maid bring some food from the kitchen in this mansion."
Seeing that Cen Xi had been persuaded so quickly, Jun Xiaoqiao felt much better. Then, she felt hungry and started asking for food.
"Qingyi, go to the kitchen and tell them that two guests have come to my courtyard. Tell them to bring up the best wine and dishes."
Cen Xi was in a great mood when she thought about how she could annoy Shen Jinchen. So she waved her hand and told Qingyi to go to the kitchen.
"Yes! I'll go right away!"
Although Qingyi disliked the sect leader's frequent mentions of men, she was still quite happy that he came.
After Qingyi left, Zhu Yanniang started talking about other topics:
“Sister Cen Xi, judging from your appearance, it seems you'll be staying in the capital permanently. Have you considered opening another brothel?”
"You're thinking about men again? There are many powerful and wealthy people in the capital. Opening a brothel might just cause trouble and harm the girls from the Su Nu Sect. Why don't the three of you open a restaurant together?"
When Cen Xi heard her say that, her subconscious reaction was that she wanted to torment men again, but the capital city was, after all, the center of power, and it was best not to go too far in some things.
"What are you thinking now? I'm just bored and looking for something to do. You said opening a brothel is bad, so how about opening a restaurant? I agree with that."
Zhu Yanniang gave her a reproachful look, then retorted.
"A restaurant is fine, then the three of us can open one together. You'll have to take the lead on this, since you don't have many connections here and can't buy a good shop. But your lover is different; he has power and money, so let him handle the shop purchase."
Jun Xiaoqiao also plans to stay in the capital and have her own restaurant. Moreover, she knows greenhouse technology, so after running the restaurant for a while, she can find a farm to build greenhouses.
The capital city here is in the north, and once winter arrives, it's hard to get fresh vegetables. They will be able to make a lot of money later.
If Jun Jianchou were here, he could open a clinic. He could still perform simple surgeries. Once they made a name for themselves here, they wouldn't be afraid of being bullied by the local chieftain, Shen Xiang.
"Alright, let's wreak havoc on him together. If he's still willing to talk to us after we've done all that, then we'll talk again."
Cen Xi had made up her mind: during her recovery period, she would cause all sorts of trouble in this mansion, and see if he could handle it.
"Alright, this bastard needs to be taught a lesson. Let's cause him some trouble and see how he cleans up the mess."
Jun Xiaoqiao wholeheartedly agreed with Cen Xi's decision. How could they not teach Shen Jinchen a lesson? They were all transmigrated women, and this setup was just too weak.
"Yes, Cen Xi, we all support you."
As soon as Zhu Yanniang finished speaking, the kitchen promptly brought the food over. The three of them didn't say anything more and ate their meals on their own.
In the palace, the sixth princess, who was about to be married, threw a huge tantrum in her Hexi Palace, smashing all the antiques and curios in the hall.
"Why, why not me! What's wrong with me, princess? Why can't he find me attractive? I'm forced to marry a man with no reputation and inferior to him in every way."
She asked again and again, but none of the palace maids dared to answer her.
"Let's go! We're going to the Prime Minister's residence. This princess wants to see what that vixen looks like, daring to steal my man."
She vented her anger, but was still not satisfied. She yelled at the palace maids in the hall and rushed out of the hall.
At this moment, Cen Xi let Jun Xiaoqiao and Zhu Yanniang chatter away in front of her without any sense of alertness that anyone might be looking for trouble.
It wasn't until people stormed into her yard and started yelling at her that she realized someone was finally coming to cause trouble.
Who's outside?
Jun Xiaoqiao and Zhu Yanniang were talking enthusiastically when a sharp voice interrupted them, so they asked Cen Xi in confusion.
"I don't know either. I guess she might be one of Shen Jinchen's admirers. She seemed to have called me a vixen just now."
Cen Xi explained with an innocent look that she had lived two lives and this was the first time she had ever seen such a scene of jealousy and rivalry. Sigh, what should she do if she didn't know how to handle it later?
