"It's not that you're managing these things for me; these things originally belonged to you."
Xiao Tang was frightened.
My heart started pounding wildly.
She stared blankly at Di Jingling.
[Has the main villain gone mad from the fever?]
This shocking and outrageous plot twist has actually... made me a little panicked.
[Hey villain, can we make a deal? Don't say such creepy things next time.]
Although she told herself that the villain's things were hers, it was all a joke.
She certainly didn't want to "embezzle" the villain's wealth.
She wouldn't dare!
Even if you gave her a hundred thousand times the courage, she wouldn't dare.
"Your Highness, if these shops go bankrupt, you will have to compensate them."
He frowned.
He had already heard everything she said.
He was displeased.
An emotion welled up inside him, and all he wanted to do was tie this brat to his waist.
Xiao Tang, that girl, is always thinking about how to escape!
Xiao Tang could vaguely sense the change in his emotions.
Seems...unhappy?
I don't know why this guy's emotions are so changeable.
I was just saying it casually, and now I have to cover the losses?
Of course, with my business acumen, I'll definitely double my money!
"My husband~"
Xiao Tang gently rubbed her small hands together, and the way she addressed her was so tender and affectionate.
Emotions welled up in my chest.
This girl always seems to have him under her thumb with ease.
And yet, he could never do anything about her.
"Speak if you have something to say."
"My lord, if I make you a lot of money, may I...?"
Her eyes quickly turned into starry eyes.
Di Jingling seemed to have seen through her thoughts and scoffed, "You really are a money-grubber."
Xiao Tang pretended to be both shy and happy.
In front of this man, she always acted with utmost skill.
After all, the slightest mistake could cost her her life at the hands of the villain.
Since that's the case, she's willing to keep acting until she can get out safely.
"My husband, what do you think?"
"All the money I earn is yours."
"Really?" Xiao Tang was stunned.
【Oh yeah!】
[Big villain, I really take back what I said before! You really are a super, super awesome villain!]
You're no longer a stingy old man; you're an incredibly generous and wealthy boss.
Xiao Tang wished she could shower this man with every flattery she could muster.
However, in the busy days that followed, she learned what the villain was thinking.
They are absolutely insidious and cunning!
Xiao Tang is very busy every day because Di Jingling has so many shops!
From small shops to large restaurants, inns, and theaters.
The sheer extravagance of that business expansion was beyond her imagination.
My imagination limited my understanding of the main villain.
What on earth was the author thinking?
It's surprising that the main villain is richer than the male lead.
A complete and utter domination.
Di Jingling was standing outside the door when he heard Xiao Tang's thoughts and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"Your Highness, should we also give the remaining land deeds to the Princess?"
Yan Jiu walked over and asked softly.
Inside the study, the princess was diligently flipping through account books, extremely busy.
The man glanced in Xiao Tang's direction, and chuckled softly, seemingly pleased by something.
"No need, giving her too much will only tire her out."
Yanjiu nodded.
Since that's the case...
Giving the princess just a shop in the Great Sheng Dynasty would be enough to exhaust her...
Those stacks of land deeds were the land deeds for the entire Great Sheng Dynasty.
Yan Jiu dared not speak such blunt truths, so he could only silently turn and leave.
Di Jingling stared at Xiao Tang's figure in the study for a long time before silently turning away.
Give the work to Xiao Tang, and this girl shouldn't even think about running away anymore.
If she wanted to escape with the land deed, he could easily catch her.
Xiao Tang can't run anywhere.
Xiao Tang sat in the room and suddenly shivered.
She looked up in confusion, glancing around.
She always felt that someone was secretly digging a trap for her to fall into.
Ruyi has also been helping her with the land deeds for these shops recently, but it's still quite complicated.
Moreover, he also had to accompany Xiao Tang to the shop every day to conduct on-site inspections.
Fortunately, most of these shops are located in the capital city.
If they were outside the capital, Xiao Tang could only plan to go out and see things at another time.
After finally finishing organizing the last stack of land deeds, Xiao Tang secretly rubbed her shoulders; they were so sore she felt like crying.
"Your Highness, shall we find some time to visit some shops outside the capital?"
No one dared to act recklessly in the shops of the capital.
Under the emperor's feet.
Under the Regent's watchful eye, who would dare to act recklessly?
but!
Outside of the capital, however, the situation is quite different.
The emperor is far away, and nobody knows what's happening outside.
Xiao Tang packed her things and gave a soft "Mmm": "I'll talk to the Prince about it later."
While you're at it, go and inquire about the Gu medicine.
Now, she has no news whatsoever about other Gu medicines.
Is this reasonable?
And what's most infuriating is that this damn system hasn't assigned her any tasks yet.
I was completely in the dark.
That night.
When Xiao Tang returned to her bedroom, it was already quite late, but she could faintly hear the sound of water from the bath in the distance.
She raised an eyebrow and quietly walked towards the bath.
