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...
"Wow! Hahaha... Waaah..."
As Chenxi continued talking, Aunt Li's face grew increasingly pale. The thought of being so heartlessly abandoned made her more and more heartbroken. Suddenly, she lost control of her emotions and burst into tears.
Tears streamed down my face like a flood, as if they were free.
Cen Xi was at a loss for what to do when she heard her loud crying.
She originally just wanted to make a joke, but she didn't expect it to develop like this. She has no choice but to accept it.
Seeing her so heartbroken, Cen Xi didn't know what to do with her hands. In the end, she had no choice but to squat down and comfort her.
"Don't cry, oh dear! I was just trying to tease you, but your husband and son are too heartless. I just said one thing, and they took the opportunity to back down."
"Then what will you do if you don't stay with me now? In this world, if your husband's family doesn't want you, your own family won't make room for you, even if you were very favored before. That's why I'm giving you a way out."
"And don't blame me for breaking up your family. If you're still with Li Dazhu, he'll find a way to kill you sooner or later. Remember last time? I beat you up, and he tried to freeze you to death. If I hadn't pried you back into the house, you would have been frozen like a statue."
"Can you please stop talking? I don't want to hear it! You vicious, wicked woman."
The plump woman wiped away her tears and immediately started cursing.
"Fine, I won't say anything! Since you don't want to come with me, then go back to your parents' home. I, the princess, will no longer care about you. The food in the palace is delicious; I think you'll never have the chance to taste it in your life."
Cen Xi originally intended to force the other person to do something against their will, but the other person's tears aroused her sympathy, so she decided to let it go if the other person didn't want to follow her.
"No! I have nowhere to go. Your Highness must take me in, or I will go around telling the whole village how you ruined my family and made my husband divorce me."
Seeing that Cen Xi was about to abandon her, the fat aunt panicked again.
"Go ahead! Say whatever you want! I, this princess, am not afraid of gossip the most. Even if you dare to gossip everywhere, no one will dare to say anything because of my status. If they don't want to die, they will obediently shut their mouths."
Cen Xi was amused by his threat and wondered if he dared to go for something even bigger.
For example, threatening suicide!
"What should I do? If you don't want me, I'll starve to death!"
The plump aunt thought that she couldn't do anything, and that if she went back to her parents' home, she would definitely be disliked by her shrewish and mean-spirited sister-in-law.
Even her parents, who loved her the most, would despise her because she was abandoned by a man, and eventually they would find her increasingly unpleasant to look at.
How is she supposed to live?
"My condition for you is that you have to lose weight! You know my status as a princess. I can't possibly take a 300-pound fat maid with me every day as I wander around the residences of various court officials."
Cen Xi raised her chin, looking down at her, waiting to see her reaction.
"Can't I not lose weight? I can go to the kitchen and become a cook. The princess's residence must have a kitchen, right?"
The plump woman was still clinging to hope.
"Yes, there are, but they're all slender middle-aged women there. There isn't a single fat woman in my princess's residence. Every place I serve is staffed with beauties. How can you not lose weight?"
"Besides, I told you before that you're so fat that you could easily die suddenly. If I take you in, and you get seriously ill, I'll have to pay for your medical expenses, which would be a huge loss for me."
Cen Xi raised her eyebrows and continued talking about her weight loss plan.
"Princess! Ah! Hahaha...!"
The plump woman looked pained by what she said and wanted to throw a tantrum.
"Think it over carefully! I have other things to do today, so I won't talk to you any longer. Once you've made up your mind, come find me at Su Nianniang's house."
Cen Xi thought that she really couldn't push her too hard. It was better for her to understand some things and face reality.
Besides, she spotted two interesting people among the onlookers, and now was the perfect opportunity to teach them a lesson. If she were any later, they might have run away.
So she said that and then vanished in a flash, chasing after the two who had gone.
The two had just entered the room and were discussing something when Cen Xi quietly climbed onto the roof to see what they were up to.
"Li Lao Er, why is that woman back again? Are we going to be targeted by her?"
"Probably not! She voluntarily agreed to marry into Wang Dashan's family, so we just went along with it. That woman probably doesn't remember what happened back then."
Li Lao Er thought for a moment and then said it as a matter of course.
"But when we sent her to Wang Dashan's house, we had designs on her. And I also heard that during the time she stayed at Wang Dashan's house, she was extremely arrogant and domineering. Even Wang Dashan was bullied by her and didn't dare to utter a sound. Do you think she would let us go?"
"Probably... probably. We were just two small fry, and we didn't do anything substantial to her back then. Besides, he dealt with Wang the Great Philanthropist but didn't come after us, which means he's long forgotten about us. Don't make a big fuss over nothing and scare yourself."
I hope you're right!
After speaking, the man staggered away from Li Lao Er's house.
Cen Xi looked down from the rooftop with a mocking smile. "Oh dear, it seems that the benevolent Wang didn't treat her as his woman back then, which is why he didn't do anything to those two."
If she hadn't suddenly decided to go back to Lijia Village, she wouldn't have known that those two were living such a comfortable life.
Oh, she needs to think this through carefully and teach those two con artists from the village a lesson.
Cen Xi was deep in thought when Li Lao Er went out.
It was getting dark, and he tiptoed northwards.
Cen Xi was curious, so he used his light-footed skill to follow behind him and see what this bastard was up to.
After walking for about fifteen minutes, he slipped into a widow's house and said to the woman and child inside:
"Pack your things, I'll take you away tonight! We probably can't stay in this village any longer."
"What's wrong, sir?"
“I offended a ruthless guy before, and now he’s back. If I don’t leave, I’m afraid he’ll come knocking on my door.”
Li Lao Er remained silent for a long time before explaining.
"I'm telling you, you never settle down. You always like to do petty thievery. See? Now you've been exposed!"
The woman glared at him, then turned and went back into the house to pack her things.
"How can you blame me? If I didn't use these methods, I wouldn't be able to make money, and without money, I wouldn't be able to support you and your child!"
Li Lao Er was helpless. If he wanted to support his wife and son, he had to be cunning and think of crooked ways. Otherwise, how could he make a fortune?
"You're not talking about the princess who came today, are you? I remember you arranged for her to be given to the philanthropist Wang."
Seeing the man follow her in, Widow Cui couldn't help but look at him and ask a question.
