"Have you forgotten that I'm a young lady of the Jun family? No matter how these little minions compare, they can't possibly rival the Jun family. I'm not afraid of anything. Don't be angry. I just felt a little bad seeing those three women having such a lively discussion without joining in. Besides, aren't you handling things perfectly well? Hehe, why bother with such a little incident?"
Jun Xiaoqiao gave a wicked smile, then made a casual joke.
"Hmph, a minor incident! If it weren't for my immunity to all poisons, these people would have succeeded. Tell me! Do you want to see me humiliated?"
Cen Xi glared at him, then threatened her and asked.
"Even if you're immune to all poisons, how can I not take action? We've known each other for so many years, and you don't even have this much trust? I don't believe you won't take advantage of the opportunity to betray me. Cen Xi, stop making excuses. You and I both enjoy playing pranks, we share similar interests, but we won't go too far. The arrow is on the bowstring, how can I sit idly by? You agree, right?"
Jun Xiaoqiao shook the jade pendant she always wore, looked at Cen Xi with a smile, and then explained.
"You're kidding me. If you have nothing to do, don't get in my way. I'm going to deal with these people you hired. If you know what's good for you, get out of here. Once I've dealt with them, you won't get away with it either."
Cen Xi glanced at her and shooed her away.
"Don't be so heartless. I'm just here for the fun. I can lend a hand if I stay, right? I think it's better if you leave these people to Sheng Xiang to handle. He'll definitely do a hundred times better than you asked. This is when a boyfriend comes in handy."
Jun Xiaoqiao looked at her with a smile, not only not leaving, but also chattering on and on.
"Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? I think the most manly thing a boyfriend can do is spend money on a woman unconditionally, and maybe even risk his life to save her. I can handle everything else, so stop talking nonsense. You don't have to go out, just stay there and don't move. Shut up."
Cen Xi raised an eyebrow dismissively, retorting to Jun Xiaoqiao's views on love in the most direct tone. She believed that she would never trouble others with things she could handle herself. Although he might have some feelings for Shen Jinchen, she still believed in the principle of self-reliance. Only by handling things herself could she have confidence.
Perhaps relying on a boyfriend is sometimes a good thing, but her upbringing has taught her that there are some things you can't rely on others for.
“Good! Very good! Your Majesty, please do as you wish.”
Jun Xiaoqiao rolled her eyes and remained silent.
Without Jun Xiaoqiao's meddling, Cen Xi quickly got back to the main topic.
She looked the man up and down, who was ridiculously fat, and asked:
"Who hired you? Tell the truth and I'll give you a beating. If you don't, your big chunk of fat would make delicious meat sauce. I used to love meat sauce, but that was pork. I've never eaten human flesh before, so I'm really curious. How about you help me find out?"
"Ugh ugh ugh ugh!"
As soon as Cen Xi finished speaking, the fat man trembled like a leaf. Unfortunately, his mouth was completely stuffed shut with someone else's smelly sock. He couldn't even utter a word of explanation.
Cen Xi watched him mumble and groan for a while before she suddenly realized that she had probably blocked his mouth. It seemed that he couldn't speak and therefore couldn't answer her.
Oh dear! So forgetful!
She would never admit that she had become addicted to her perverse sense of humor again.
"Oh, so you can't talk. You ate someone's sock and thought it tasted good. But now I can't grant you that request. I need to know the answer. Be good, okay? I'll take the sock out of your mouth right away. You can't scream, or I'll first pickle you into cured meat, and then make you into braised meat. Live pickling is definitely going to be good."
Cen Xi pulled out a dagger from somewhere, lightly scratched the fat man's cheek, and then spoke.
"Mmm!"
Upon hearing Cen Xi's threat, the fat man nodded repeatedly, muttering "uh-huh" incessantly.
"Now you can speak. If you want to shout for help, you can shout now. If you want to answer my questions, you can answer them now. Please go ahead."
Cen Xi glanced at the fat man and ripped the smelly sock out of his mouth.
"I'll talk, I'll talk! Grandma, Grandma, please don't eat me! It was the ninth young lady of the Jun family, Jun Jianfang, who secretly invited us to defile you. It really wasn't our intention. Although we are a bit dissolute, we wouldn't dare to sneak into someone else's house without someone's guidance. If our parents found out, we would be skinned alive."
The fat man glanced at Cen Xi tremblingly, then replied in a shaky voice.
Is it as he said?
After the fat man finished speaking, Cen Xi glanced at Jun Xiaoqiao again.
"Hmm, it's probably close to 100, but I think you shouldn't ask these questions anymore. How could they know as much as I, the planner, do? You're usually so clever, so why do you suddenly become so slow-witted when something happens? You end up looking for the best solution instead of the obvious. It seems you've been living in a honey pot for too long these past few days, and your IQ has dropped."
Jun Xiaoqiao recalled that Cen Xi gave her a flirtatious wink and laughed so hard that she was shaking with laughter, but every word she uttered was a denigration of Cen Xi.
Cen Xi looked into his cunning eyes, a surge of anger rising within her. This damned woman, her ultimate goal was always to bring her down. Did she ever speak ill of her man in her past life? No, he was a model citizen, wasn't he? If she hadn't interfered, would his mind be in such a mess right now?
What do you mean by "lowering one's IQ"? It's all because she made me angry!
"Don't glare at me like that. I'm telling the truth. No one knows this better than me. The mastermind behind this is Jun Jianchou's half-sister. I'm following her behavior, and she may have fallen for Prime Minister Shen. You've been living in Prime Minister Shen's courtyard for so long, and he couldn't even try to be nice to you. So you've become a thorn in his side."
"I couldn't tell who Jun Jianfang liked, but she has a gambling father. And the fact that we all contributed money while he didn't—his motives are obvious."
"There's also a Miss Fu involved in this, who has admired Jun Jianchou since childhood. Unfortunately, Jun Jianchou's soul belongs to that bastard Yu Kuang. He fell deeply in love with you before you even transmigrated, so he's dragged this young lady into becoming an old maid. How could she not hate you? But she said to be gentle, so this matter might not go well. Out of sympathy for you, she only gave you fifty taels of silver. How about that? Isn't this young lady kind?"
Jun Xiaoqiao, in a very joking tone, told Cen Xi about the three people's intentions in planning this matter that day.
After saying that, she wondered what this woman would do if she knew that someone had plotted against her like this. If she couldn't watch the show here, she might as well find another stage.
Watching this woman slaughter everyone and crush the scum, she was also very excited. This wasn't her fault; ancient times were just too boring. If she had a cell phone, she would have definitely killed this plan before it even started, and none of this would have happened.
