Ye Caiping looked at her with a half-smile:

"What have you done to me? You don't even know? Well, that makes sense. You're the female lead! And I'm just a cannon fodder supporting character, a cannon fodder who doesn't even deserve a name, so in your eyes, my life and death are irrelevant."

Li Jiaojiao was completely confused. She couldn't understand a single word about what a female supporting character or cannon fodder was!

Ye Caiping continued, "Your Highness, please recall how I died! I was pushed down the hillside by you and fell to my death! You took my life, so why can't I ruin your future?"

Li Jiaojiao's expression changed, and she suddenly remembered that Ye Caiping had died at her hands. She said urgently:

"You died because you tried to take the ginseng from me! I was the one who discovered the ginseng, so what right did you have to take it from me? You fell down on your own during the scuffle! It has nothing to do with me!"

Ye Caiping nodded: "Yes, it was your mistake. I don't blame you. That's why after I was reborn, I didn't want to have anything to do with you anymore. I immediately stopped Jin'er from taking the ginseng from you. After I was reborn, all I wanted was to live. What's wrong with that?"

Li Jiaojiao choked. Yes, after being reborn, all she wanted to do was live. What was wrong with that?

Just like after my first rebirth, my goal is to live!

Li Jiaojiao gritted her teeth and said, "You stole my space! If it weren't for that, would I be so poor?"

Ye Caiping laughed so hard: "You need to understand, this space originally belonged to me! This is my jade pendant, right? It's something I've worn since I was a child, right?"

"The reason I ended up in your hands in my past life was because you picked me up. Now that I'm not letting you pick me up in this life, it's considered stealing from you? This is truly going against the natural order!"

Li Jiaojiao's face froze, her eyes darting around as she searched for Ye Caiping's faults: "You, you... If you don't want to give me the jade pendant, fine, but why did you cheat me with a fake one! You swindled me out of two hundred taels of silver!"

Ye Caiping laughed even harder: "Tsk tsk, it was clearly Li Zhiyuan who first set his sights on my hot and sour soup recipe. You caused the oxcart to overturn and Jin'er to get hurt because of that scumbag Li Zhiyuan. What, you're allowed to hurt me, but I can't fight back?"

Li Jiaojiao choked again: "That, that... that's all in the past! I already said we're even, why are you blocking my opportunity! You prevented me from saving the Duchess of Pingguo and also caused the death of my divine physician master!"

Ye Caiping sneered, "When you first came to the capital, you were afraid I would reveal that you were in prison, so you preemptively accused me of stealing a hairpin at the Marquis of Dingguo's residence. Do you still remember that?"

Li Jiaojiao's face turned even uglier. Couldn't this shameful thing be left unmentioned?

"You, you... why are you saying this!"

Ye Caiping said, "Even you understand the importance of striking first, so why can't I? I blocked two of your opportunities simply to protect myself. What's wrong with that? Even you understand this principle, so why can't I?"

Li Jiaojiao was once again rendered speechless by the rebuttal.

Ye Caiping continued, "Leaving aside my rescue of the Lady of the Duke of Pingguo, let's just talk about that Doctor Meng. He indiscriminately killed innocent people and deserved to die. Just because he can bring you benefits, does that mean others should die unjustly? It's only right that I report him to the authorities! Killing him is eliminating a scourge for the people!"

Li Jiaojiao was speechless again, then gritted her teeth and said:

"Don't try to act like a good person... It's all your fault, you've driven Gu Han crazy!"

"You are such a noble person! He is the regent, second only to the emperor, and deeply revered by all the people! Ye Caiping, you have destroyed a god! How could you be so heartless! How could you be so cruel! Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

Ye Caiping laughed and said, "I'm sorry, it really doesn't hurt."

"you--"

Ye Caiping's face darkened: "Li Jiaojiao, it's your stinginess that made him a cripple! It was you who exposed her imprisonment, causing him to lose his hereditary noble status! You destroyed him with your own hands! You don't feel any remorse, so why should I?"

Li Jiaojiao: "......"

Ye Caiping continued, "What regent who is deeply revered by all the people? What god? Haha, that's hilarious! How did he climb to the position of regent? Did he steal cassava? What great things has he done that benefited the country?"

Li Jiaojiao choked, and couldn't help but think back, and it seemed that she really hadn't!

Ye Caiping continued, "Whether it's you or Gu Han, the reason you succeeded is simply because you are favored by heaven, because you took shortcuts!"

"Li Jiaojiao, since you got the space, what have you done? Have you ever tried? Have you ever earned money with your own hands? Besides lying down and taking advantage of the space system, what else have you done?"

"The reason you were able to climb up the ladder step by step is simply because you were lucky! You were lucky to have picked up Gu Han and the Duchess! You were lucky to have picked up a divine doctor, who even chased after you wanting to take you as his apprentice."

"You even have X-ray vision! You cheated for your father and brothers, cheated again and again! The reason Gu Han was able to ascend to the position of regent was because the divine physician poisoned the young emperor! Poisoned! Is this something a human being would do?"

"Li Jiaojiao, don't you feel guilty?"

Li Jiaojiao's face turned pale and then red. She always thought that being able to climb to a high place was a sign of her ability and intelligence.

She wanted to refute Ye Caiping's words, but she couldn't find anything to refute.

Aside from being lucky and picking up people, I don't think I've really done anything.

Li Jiaojiao stammered, "So what if I'm lucky! Being able to get to where I am today by luck is my own ability, even if I didn't do anything!"

Ye Caiping raised an eyebrow: "Oh? You've reached a high level, but what was the result?"

Li Jiaojiao was taken aback: "What result? I'm very happy!"

Ye Caiping laughed: "Happiness? Happily standing here cleaning chamber pots for others?"

Li Jiaojiao's face froze: "..."

Ye Caiping scoffed: "You're so lucky that things should have ended perfectly, but suddenly, you were reborn here to suffer!"

Li Jiaojiao's face turned pale, and she took a step back in fear.

Ye Caiping: "Your happiness and prosperity for half your life have all turned into a dream. When you wake up from the dream, you will find that you are the one suffering and hardship."

Li Jiaojiao's face paled even more, and she took a step back in fear.

Ye Caiping said coldly, "Have you ever thought that your current state is your final fate?"

Li Jiaojiao's eyes widened: "No..."

Ye Caiping asked, "Do you know why the space and the system abandoned you?"

Li Jiaojiao was stunned: "The space system abandoned me? How could the system—"

As she spoke, her face froze.

In her past life, she clearly had everything and lived a happy and fulfilling life.

That time, after drinking with the prince, just as she passed out drunk on the bed, a voice echoed in her mind: "Goodbye, you heartless, greedy, and exploitative Li the Skinflint who only gives and never takes!"

When she woke up again, she found herself in this absurd world!
