Quick Transmigration: Saving The Crazy Villainess 321 Agatha 19

Jiang Li's desire to gain points had never waned. But since he was warned not to ask around about other women, he obediently complied... And made others do the investigation for him. 

How did he afford the investigators and information brokers?

"Husband. Fret not. I can support you for life." The one who spoke was the girl who had been glued to his side since their reunion this morning.

"My t.i.tle as a princess might have been a joke before the parasite's takeover. But that is because I intentionally hid from the limelight. Behind the scene, I am Holon Kingdom's Queen of Commerce. You won't ever worry about money ever again. Even now I can order people to create a bathtub full of gold for you… How about I call an artisan to make one now? So that tomorrow, my dowry will be ready? If you want, I can even hold a contest so you can pick the best personally," In a sultry voice, Margarette asked the dumbfounded him.

A second later, his left cheek was twitching. He looked at the girl still dressed in her green court gown, with her light brown hair falling like a wavy ocean behind her, and face covered with a thin black veil.

According to the woman, when she was young, she was so free most of the time as there was no teacher or anybody bothering her so she spent her days reading all sorts of books in the royal library. Since she was twelve, she was dabbling in business outside the palace. Her conquest of the Commerce World was real. It started with her secretly buying houses, shops, and lots all over the kingdom before her operations involved small and large trades. Now she owned more than twenty s.h.i.+ps, all for sea trading. Meaning, she was one of the tyc.o.o.ns who could even make profits from outside the Mu continent.

In short, she really had the means to casually build that whatever bathtub. 

Earlier, he asked how she could be sure that those properties would not fall in the 'd.u.c.h.ess' hands, she replied that she never used her real name for those properties anyways.

'Chen w.a.n.g Fei. To my right-hand men and other trusted subordinates, they only knew me through that name and all the letters I exchanged with them have secret codes. There's no way that pretender will be able to get her hands in what's under my pseudo name. All she would ever have are all that I've abandoned and left behind. n.o.body in this world can steal what's mine. n.o.body.'

Arrogance was oozing out from her soul as she emphasized the last sentence. It was said loud and clear. Those who tried to take advantage of her might have already met terrible endings.

He then remembered one thing. A crease appeared on his forehead. She implied yesterday that it was her who purposely abandoned the body being used by Marian Obson. Was there a spell that could cause people to body-swap?

The question crossed his mind as he could NOT remember any.

Then again, Jiang Ying Yue was the real disciple of the witch from the Old China world. It would make sense if that old hag had taught her some additional magic spells. Since Margarette could get some of her memories as Jiang Ying Yue from time to time, it would no wonder if she had also learned them, and thus cause the current mess.

Her way to escape being married to a random folk made his head ache… He was relieved by the result. But to accomplish her goal, she caused a woman to escape from the hunting of the Borley Kingdom and have someone else, a transmigrator to boot, take her place. The worse was how she became one of the many personalities of this mentally ill scapegoat from another world.

Alright. She was too d.a.m.n powerful!

And as expected of a female lead, a troublemaker...

He might have s.p.a.ced out for some time so the woman poked at his shoulder. "What's the matter?"

The guy shook his head. Afterward, he looked at her and dryly laughed. "Would you believe me if I said I was planning to revolt and take over the throne of your kingdom?"

It was asked in random and the one in his mind was nowhere near this, but the woman only batted her lashes twice before slowly arcing her lips up.

He changed his statement. "Actually, I was planning how to become one of the angels and then obtain my own divine throne to offer to you."

She looked at him quietly for a long time then replied, "Husband. I could actually try to believe you if you want. But do you want me to?"

He shut up seeing her 'don't make a fool out of yourself anymore' look. He then shrugged.

Time quickly pa.s.sed. Most people would have not believed that this very early morning, the two of them had just forced a priest out of his bed to wed them. There was no banquet that followed since one of them had no family members and friends to invite, a really sad situation, while the other was a forgotten princess trapped in somebody's body, another very sad situation.

Well, it was not like to express happiness after the wedding, a banquet was the only way…

The promise Jiang Li made yesterday was easily broken since it was Margarette who toured him around the city. Most places were crowded, but scenic wonders were not and were truly nice places that one should visit for relaxation.

The last one they went to was a very tall building constructed out of woods and bricks. It was said to be a former observation tower for astrological movements but was abandoned due to terrible ghost sightings. Two years later, it was bought by the princess.

With a voice of proudness masked with serenity, she revealed a huge secret... It was her who schemed to force out the astrologers and other tenants there through the 'ghosts'. She did it because the building looked the closest to a paG.o.da he built for her in the memories. Anyway, to make up to those innocent people, she funded the construction of a new observatory, albeit it was not as tall as the former one. 

'It's sunset again...' He looked up. 

"Let me show you something."

It was actually the small interlude before the night, and the woman surprised him with a picturesque view of thousands of houses and buildings lighting who knows how many candles, just to form a certain word. The city seemed to have become livelier and brighter and it was extremely pretty. A pity, only those from very high places could see the spectacle. Yet for those with access to the sight, not many of them would know the meaning of the pattern.

Yeah. In this continent, how many would be able to understand the word formed when it was actually simplified Chinese? Only two. Ironically, on the eastern side of the outside world, there was definitely no one would be able to recognize the symbol since the writing system of the Han people were still quite ancient.

Where did Margarette learn the writing?

In the first week he became acquainted with Jiang Ying Yue, he tested her brain by teaching her Arabic numerals and English alphabet. Actually, at a later time, he also taught her simplified Chinese. Perhaps, that time, he was very fascinated by the feeling that he was teaching her some symbols that only them in that world would be able to understand. See, through Margarette, the effect was showing now. 

The king, the other members of the royal family, and most likely those members of the aristocracies who possessed tall and gigantic residences and could see the scene were deeply frowning and cracking their heads, thinking what the character symbolized, if it was already a secret code of an enemy. Only Jiang Li and his wife would be able to know what it truly meant by the candles and lamps down there.

'Chen w.a.n.g'… His t.i.tle in the Old Chinese court.

She gently laughed and said, "I'm still serious about the bathtub filled with gold coins. We can discuss later whether to commission a single artisan or host a contest. But since it would take some time, I first had my people distribute lamps and candles to those below. After this, as payment, they won't have to return the items. How is it? Did you like the surprise?"

The man could not say that he was not moved. But he was also having mixed feelings about it. He couldn't stop feeling like this was a man's job. Why was he the one being amused by his wife this way?

Looking at her eyes looking like a puppy's, he laughed and patted her on the head. "You're the best, alright?"

A minute later, she caught his hand in annoyance as she waited and waited but there was no sign she would get what she was really waiting for.

If Jiang Li knew what it was, he would have felt more complicated. It was really reversing their role….
