Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 84: Taking Advantage of Others Every Day

"Yijia, you’re really smart. We won’t have to worry about being left with nothing anymore," Qin Kaize praised his wife, even if it was with a blink of his eyes.

If his former subordinates had seen this, they would have probably felt wronged. They had worked hard for so many years and never received such praise from him. Yet, Su Yijia, this young girl, effortlessly gained it.

"Of course! You’ll see in the future that I’m not only smart but also very talented," Su Yijia didn’t hold back in front of Qin Kaize, swaying her head proudly.

However, when she heard a sound behind her, she immediately concealed her smile and adopted a more formal posture.

"Why is it that every time I come, you stop talking? Were you gossiping about me behind my back?" Qin’s mother asked with a strange tone, her eyebrows raised.

"Why would I gossip about you? Or maybe you did something sneaky again, afraid that I would find out?" Su Yijia batted her long eyelashes and gave a mischievous smile.

Although the expression on this woman’s face didn’t change at all, it was impossible for her to fit the role of a cannon fodder in the Qin family if she didn’t act a little mischievous. She had been so professional, even if someone was tailing her, she still had to diligently carry out her tasks.

"Don’t talk nonsense. I was just joking with you. Don’t act like you’ve eaten gunpowder," Qin’s mother quipped, though she didn’t sound too angry.

"Get to the point," Su Yijia urged impatiently.

"I came here to discuss something with you. How about we cook together from now on? It doesn’t make sense for a family to eat separately, and it’s also a waste of money," Qin’s mother said, her tone becoming gentler. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Before, they knew that Qin Kaize had money, but they couldn’t have imagined that after he got married, he would act as if he hadn’t seen a woman in eight hundred years and give so much to this little brat. There had to be more than just a dowry; otherwise, how could she bear to make delicious food for Qin Kaize every day?

This paralyzed man was truly ridiculous. What did it matter if he had a wife now? Would he even be able to enjoy it?

Years ago, she had introduced her niece to this paralyzed man, and he didn’t even want to look at her. Now he treated Su Yijia like a treasure. Compared to her niece, this girl was nothing.

"Our meals have never gone to waste. It’s just enough for us. Why do you say it’s wasteful? Don’t just throw labels on us," Su Yijia retorted, her expression serious.

Afraid of being disgusted by this woman’s words, she continued, "I know you’re eyeing our delicious food and want to join us, but the meals we make are just enough for us. Don’t even think about it. Don’t use the excuse of being family or an elder to try to get in on this. No matter where you go, no one will agree. You so-called family members are just trying to take advantage of my little family."

"The past is in the past. Kaize is like this now, and we have to live together in the future. You can be angry, but after you’re done being angry, you have to give us a chance to make amends, right?" Qin’s mother cursed a thousand times in her heart, but she had to say something nice to appease Su Yijia.

Even if they weren’t trying to take advantage of her now, the relationship between them and this annoying girl had to be improved for the upcoming calculations to go smoothly.

However, Su Yijia wasn’t buying it at all. "Save it. We’ll never forgive you for the scheme you pulled last time. Not splitting up the family was the last bit of face we gave to the Qin family. Don’t expect anything more. Besides, what’s wrong with your heads? How could you forget how you schemed against me back then? Don’t even think about us having meals together. I won’t even share water with you."

Although the original host had been the one who fell for the scheme, Su Yijia was taking no chances. The system hadn’t provided her with any special abilities to prevent danger. Seeing her resolute attitude, Qin’s mother didn’t dare to push further, fearing it would backfire. She could only pretend to be teary-eyed and wiped away a tear.

"I know we went too far last time, and you hate us, I understand. But now you and Kaize are living so well, so we’ve actually done something right. Once you’re no longer angry, you’ll eventually think better of us," Qin’s mother said.

Su Yijia rolled her eyes dramatically, looking at her with exasperation. "Get lost, stop daydreaming in broad daylight!"

Qin’s mother’s face twisted in frustration, and she could only cover her face and quickly leave.

"Disgusting! If I had some poison, I’d make her lose her voice first," Su Yijia muttered venomously.

However, Qin Kaize didn’t mind at all. He found her candidness endearing, as she spoke her mind without reservation, treating him like a family member with no defenses.

His burning gaze held clear affection, making Su Yijia somewhat uncomfortable.

Blushing, she quickly leaned in and kissed him on the lips. "I’ll go cook now. You can listen to the radio by yourself."

As Su Yijia left, Gao Huabin emerged from the kitchen. Evidently, he had been sneakily observing her and Qin Kaize. Now that he was sure he wouldn’t have to play the third wheel, he hurriedly took over.

While Su Yijia heated up the pot and oil, she began to cook. Throughout the process, 666 kept chattering incessantly, almost distracting her and causing her to overcook the food.

[Host, you already have the opportunity to randomly open new formulas. Don’t you want to give it a try?]

asked, curious. It hadn’t seen a host as composed as this one before. Previous hosts had been eager to get rich and were in a hurry to unlock new recipes to achieve a comfortable life.

"I don’t want to! I still have three secret formulas, and I can’t even gather the ingredients for the medicine. Why bother opening another one when I’m just tantalizing myself?" Su Yijia replied with a logical argument.

"Now that you mention it, I have a question," Su Yijia suddenly said, as if she had remembered something.

was startled, even though it hadn’t done anything, it felt an inexplicable sense of guilt.

[Just...Just ask if you want.]

It responded hesitantly.

Su Yijia didn’t notice its strange behavior, and her brows furrowed even tighter. "The people in this team should have good skills. How is it possible that I, with my limited skills, can easily detect someone following me every time? And not only that, but I can also find and expose them?"

While she had received some special training in the world outside the book, she was far from being an expert. Yet, none of the professionals she had encountered so far had been able to deceive her.
