When Qiao Zhen woke up, she was on an antique sandalwood bed. She had just taken a nap during the previous mission, so her death was quite easy.
[Transferring data - Transfer successful.]
The original owner of this body was also named Qiao Zhen. She was a princess of the fallen Li Kingdom and is now a prisoner of the Qi Kingdom, married as a concubine to the eldest son of the current prime minister of Qi Kingdom. The reason for this is actually due to the tragic love affair between the original owner's mother, Zhen Zhuxian, and the current emperor of Qi Kingdom. In the end, Zhen Zhuxian still chose the king of Li Kingdom.
The current emperor of Qi Kingdom felt that the prime minister's eldest son, Lu Yuanchuan, had the same spirit as him back then, so he married the original owner of the body to Lu Yuanchuan as a concubine, which can be seen as a veiled criticism of the original owner's mother for not recognizing his true worth back then.
However, the reason why the Li Kingdom became a defeated country was precisely because Zhen Zhuxian passed away. The king of the Li Kingdom never recovered, which gave the Qi Kingdom an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
Qiao Zhen is currently in an inconspicuous room in Lu Yuanchuan's courtyard. Speaking of Lu Yuanchuan, only one word can describe him—cold.
Cold and aloof in personality, expression, and movements, like a robot programmed with no emotions, no particular likes, dislikes, or concerns, and no sense of self-control.
Xiao Ling: [To make the experience more realistic for the participants, we've even given them the physical trait of radiating coldness. Please don't think I'm being too dedicated!]
Qiao Zhen: [Central air conditioning?]
Xiao Ling: [Central refrigerator.]
Chu Chu: [Then in winter, wouldn't Zhenzhen have to stay eight feet away from Lu Yuanchuan?]
Xiao Ling: [Didn't consider it, figure it out yourself. Failure means elimination. I'm going to play ranked now, bye.]
Qiao Zhen could only fumble for clues in the information on her own. The original owner had no feelings for Lu Yuanchuan, so the most urgent task was to find a breakthrough in Lu Yuanchuan's emotions.
Qiao Zhen: [Chu Chu, go do a survey. What's the easiest thing to do to anger your husband? I need the top three answers.]
Chu Chu: [Wait, investigating 18-59-184-368-726-1439 people - Ding, results generated. The top-ranked reason is being cuckolded, the second is abortion, and the third is spending money.]
Qiao Zhen: [Abortion? Impossible. I'll never have an abortion in my life. First and third pregnancies are possible, though.]
Chu Chu: [(??ω??) You don't have a pregnancy to abort either.]
Qiao Zhen: [Shut up, don't I have any dignity?]
Chu Chu: [Oh qaq]
Qiao Zhen devised a plan to provoke Lu Yuanchuan, and then went to the accounting office in a menacing manner to demand money.
Not the kind of "Waaah, why don't I get my monthly allowance?", nor the kind of "Where did this concubine's monthly allowance go?", but rather—
"Are you turning in your grave? Trying to get rich by cutting back on your mother's monthly allowance?"
The accountant was the Prime Minister's first wife, who was also Lu Yuanchuan's stepmother. In fact, Madam Lu did not pay the original owner's monthly allowance at all. Instead, she put all the dowry that the Emperor of Qi had bestowed upon the original owner into the Lu family's accounts.
Both morally and logically, Qiao Zhen should have been assertive and righteous. This matter even reached the Madam's side, and the Madam's maid, Xun Fang, came to invite Qiao Zhen to the Madam's Lingguang Courtyard.
Qiao Zhen followed Xun Fang calmly, occasionally glancing around to memorize the route through the Prime Minister's residence. When they arrived in front of the First Madam, Qiao Zhen politely bowed and said, "Greetings, First Madam."
The First Madam merely glanced at Qiao Zhen. To her, Qiao Zhen was now a fallen tiger, vulnerable to bullying by everyone, so she didn't take her seriously. "I heard you caused trouble at the accounting office?"
Qiao Zhen stood up on her own, straightened her back, and said righteously, "What is causing trouble? Creating trouble and gathering crowds to cause trouble is causing trouble. How can my desire to get my things back be considered causing trouble?"
The First Madam remained calm and composed. "What property do you own in this Prime Minister's residence? Now that you've married into the Prime Minister's residence, stay quietly in the courtyard and don't cause any trouble. I won't mistreat you, and the vast Prime Minister's residence won't mistreat you either."
Qiao Zhen listened to the First Madam's empty promises and didn't believe her. "Madam, I am short-sighted and only wish to hold onto what I have now. As for those generous treatments, I am not fortunate enough to enjoy them. If you are unwilling to give them to me, I will have no choice but to make a scene. After all, it is His Majesty's dowry, and what is in my possession should not easily fall into the hands of others."
The First Madam's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure. "I am your husband's legal mother, how can I be considered someone else?"
Qiao Zhen was even more blunt, saying, "Madam, as long as the Li Kingdom exists, I am a princess; even if the Li Kingdom falls, I will still be a princess of the Li Kingdom. Since ancient times, marriages have been arranged by matchmakers and parents. I have no matchmaker with Young Master Lu, and I'm afraid I will never have parents' orders in this lifetime. I call myself 'this concubine' just to make things easier for me in the future. Anyway, my country is destroyed and my family is gone. Whether I care about my reputation or not is my own business. But Madam has many things to consider."
The First Madam slammed her hand heavily on the tea table in anger. "Fine! Fine! Xunfang, take stock of her dowry and carry it to Yuanchuan's courtyard. If the princess has nothing else to do, please return."
