Transmigrated as the Villainess, Troubled by the Cuteness!-Chapter 209 - 167: Fake Title_3

Who is the biggest boss? It’s her mother!

"Hehehe, Mother, close bond."

The Empress rewarded Shen Jingxian with a faceful of saliva.

But in the end, she did not agree to Shen Jingxian’s request to go out and play, only telling her that it’s dangerous outside now and she should wait a few days.

Shen ’Little Chick’ Lie-down-and-win Jingxian had no choice but to give up.

...

A rumor suddenly spread in the Capital, saying that the Princess is still a demon, just disguised as the Princess.

If Yunyi continues to let this position of the Princess exist, Yunyi will lose all his fortune, and Yunyi’s people will become displaced, becoming slaves to other countries.

Not long after the rumor appeared, there was suddenly a miracle in the suburbs of Capital. It was said that there was lightning that struck the tree in the suburbs on that night, leaving behind a line of words shining in gold—demonistic reality, chaos around the world, barren lands, corpses scattered everywhere.

"Song Yan, what should we do! Something really happened to the Princess, they are all saying the Princess is still a demon."

Song Yan was very calm, casually flipping the page of the book in her hand, and then said, "What’s to fear, it’s just talk, they can’t touch the Princess."

Pan Jiaojiao got angry seeing Song Yan’s indifferent posture, she rushed over and snatched the book from Song Yan’s hand, exclaiming, "The Princess is so good to you! How can you be so indifferent! And you also know what happened back then, what if the Princess’s body is taken over again!"

"There is nothing wrong with the Princess, if something really happened to the Princess, such rumors wouldn’t spread." Song Yan said while picking up another book from the table beside her, telling Pan Jiaojiao, "That book is about tactics and isn’t suitable for you, you read this one on economic theory."

In the blink of an eye, the book in Pan Jiaojiao’s hand was replaced.

Pan Jiaojiao: ...

"I’m not here to read books! I... Song Yan, I want to enter the palace, I know you must have a way."

"No."

"You do! You do! You do!"

"No."

"You surely have a way!"

"No."

The following dialogue repeated multiple times and is omitted.

Only when Pan Jiaojiao was tired of the noise, Song Yan started explaining, "The Princess’s current situation is very dangerous, so remaining unseen is the safest. Even our identities can’t meet the Princess, meaning the Princess is very well protected, so why bother doing more."

Pan Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment after hearing, and suddenly burst into tears.

Song Yan already got used to Pan Jiaojiao’s sporadic emotional outbursts, so she didn’t care, just preparing tea, waiting for Pan Jiaojiao to tire out, and knowing she would come over attracted by the scent to sit nicely.

Sure enough, after crying for a while realizing she was still being ignored just like before, Pan Jiaojiao patted her skirt, tidied her appearance, and sat back down beside Song Yan, naturally picking up the tea on the table.

After drinking in one gulp, Pan Jiaojiao felt much less pent-up.

"Song Yan, I feel like you and the Princess always know many things I don’t know, even if told, I couldn’t understand them. I’m so useless, good for nothing, I truly can only be a foolish woman hidden in the deep courtyard."

Originally Song Yan was flipping through a book, but she gave a slight pause after hearing Pan Jiaojiao.

In the past, she wouldn’t react or care about Pan Jiaojiao’s remarks, but today, she wanted to speak.

"You’re not good for nothing."

Song Yan’s voice was so cold and distant that Pan Jiaojiao thought she misheard, dazedly confirmed once more, "What?"

"You’re not good for nothing. Though you have no political talent, you are very perceptive about emotions. You can quickly detect whether someone’s intentions are good or bad, sincere or false."

This was the first time Song Yan praised her, causing Pan Jiaojiao to bashfully stroke her hair.

However, Song Yan’s next words changed her expression, "A good merchant not only needs sharpness in money matters but also needs sharpness in people, and you just happen to have both."

Scholar, farmer, artisan, merchant.

Merchants are ranked the lowest.

Previously, Song Yan used helping the Princess accumulate wealth as a pretext to trick Pan Jiaojiao into starting a business, now when said directly, Pan Jiaojiao found it unacceptable.

"When did I, the Commandery Princess, become a merchant? Song Yan, this is insubordination, insulting me the Commandery Princess!"

Although Pan Jiaojiao was angry, ultimately she didn’t try to grab Song Yan like before.

"What does the Commandery Princess think of as a merchant."

"Merchants pursue profit, they are the lowest class."

"Pursuing profit... people believe merchants pursue private gain. But what if it’s for greater benefit? What if it’s taken from the people, used for the people, and benefits the people?"

Pan Jiaojiao always disliked Song Yan’s deep and incomprehensible talks, yet this time, she somewhat understood.
