Quick Transmigration: Saving The Crazy Villainess 117 Jiang Ying Yue 13

When Jiang Li vowed to do something, he always preferred to see it done as soon as possible.

The first thing he settled was his source of information. For this reason, he had Mao Hong and Xun He dug talents who could train any kind of animal into messengers, or were good at espionage and/or trading of information. The scope of their search was wide. Even those from the slums were not put out of the equation. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

A day later, the a.s.sistant showed him the first batch of recruits and he was somewhat satisfied with the result. Now, even if he wanted to ask stupid or mundane questions like where a particular consort's pet was, an answer would come to him in less than fifteen minutes. This could be already considered not bad since they were not in an era with a developed communication system. But of course, since Jiang Li was greedy and had tasted the convenience of the modern world, he still wanted efficiency greater than this. Until he was truly content, the search wouldn't stop.

The next matter he took care of was the witch. He knew the old woman only followed him obediently into the city not because she feared he would do something to the male lead. But that he would use her existence to threaten the male lead's already unstable position in the imperial family.

The witch didn't say the reason why she cared so much for that guy. He was also not really interested to know. But since he was aware of what she cared for, when Jiang Li went to the old woman's courtyard, only after ensuring that he wouldn't harm Hai w.a.n.g did he lay out his request. It was the truth anyway.

He didn't actually plan to do anything to the male lead for he hadn't gone against him yet. The guy was very level-headed and wouldn't easily offend a reputable prince for reasons he deemed not worth it. Yesterday's case was proof. When Jiang Li slightly embarra.s.sed the female lead for not observing proper distance with a guy not his betrothed, Hai w.a.n.g didn't get angry at him and just stayed silent.

It was not that he was rational or reasonable, but just used to weighing his options around. Even if he liked the woman, if liking her would give him trouble and headaches beyond his tolerance, then he would just leave her or let her solve the trouble by herself. There was also the fact that what Sheng Lingxin did, inviting another man to a meal in front of her fiancé whose same invitation she just denied, was quite insulting.

Had it been another guy, even if Sheng Lingxin already wronged them, they would still definitely defend the girl. Not many could resist a female lead's halo and beauty. So in this regard, for not siding with her, Chen Heng was quite admirable. His calculating nature was scary for others, but likable for Jiang Li.

"As long as the male lead remained like that, I have no problem staying out of that guy's business." He told the old woman. 

But of course, he added in his heart that in case Hai w.a.n.g suddenly chooses to target him, he would of course, not let him go. Even if he already promised not to harm the man directly, so what? There were many ways to harm someone indirectly. In fact, this seemed to be his specialty.

For that while, the man conveniently forgot that the old witch strictly forbade him from harming Hai w.a.n.g in any way. 

The meeting with the witch happened yesterday noon after he got back from the palace.

The one he had with the new messengers were held this morning.

When he got home in the afternoon, he met with his mother and listened to three hours' worth of litany.

Before nightfall, he visited the Ministry of Justice and secretly contacted somebody from there to conduct a re-investigation for him.

He did this because yesterday morning, the Emperor pointed out that currently, there was no way to issue the decree if the other party was deemed unworthy of the ma.s.ses.

Jiang Ying Yue, as of now, was in that category. Given her bad reputation, it was already foreseeable that everyone would protest if they learned that the emperor bestowed such a woman to a first-rank prince like him. In everyone's mind, she was not worthy because she was a vicious girl who caused her father's concubine's miscarriage. 

To be honest, he found things so annoying, but he knew the decree was the only thing that would allow Jiang Ying Yue to become his legal princess consort. This was why he decided to help clear out her name. For that reason, he ended up owing somebody from the Ministry of Justice a favor. 

It was already past 8 pm when things had been settled. He got back at around 9 pm. This was just his fourth day yet it seemed he already did so much for this world's villainess.  

"Did I spend this much effort on Feng Ru and Xie Na before? If I remember correctly in my first week in both worlds, I didn't do much..." This was the thought lingering in his mind as he marched out of his courtyard and jumped over the wall separating his residence to where Jiang Ying Yue currently stays. 

For him, the day was still far from over. He planned to visit the girl...
