Transmigrated as the Villainess, Troubled by the Cuteness!-Chapter 90 - 86: So How Does One Become a Concubine?

Chapter 90: Chapter 86: So How Does One Become a Concubine?

Song Yan had remained silent, but Shen Jingxian could tell she was holding back.

The heroine was always able to endure, no matter the circumstances, she could always do the right thing at the most opportune time.

In the original text, it was precisely because Song Yan endured what others couldn’t that she survived under the antagonist Princess’s hand until she was fully fledged, playing a perfect hand out of poor cards.

The same logic applies now.

She already sent out a message, as long as someone finds here, they would be saved.

Given this group harbors no ill-will towards them, maintaining silence and playing along to bide time was undoubtedly the best decision.

The heroine is always this calm.

Shen Jingxian’s heart was actually calm too; since neither she nor Song Yan had died, and Song Yan’s leg had been treated, it indicated the Guihun Pavilion was indeed Song Yan’s golden finger, and Yu Qin was part of her harem.

No matter how it is now, no matter how interested these people are in her now, they would all become Song Yan’s subordinates later.

They won’t be harmed, and Song Yan would definitely be able to take her out.

Shen Jingxian hoped the storyline wouldn’t change, so she would be safe, yet if the storyline doesn’t change, then what about her and Wen Ranchen?

Surrounded by leering wolves’ gazes, it only made Shen Jingxian think faster, she never thought of taking anything from Song Yan, initially, she only planned to stay respectfully away.

But antagonists and protagonists are fated to intersect, and such intersections aren’t good, they’re bad.

Like now.

Shen Jingxian felt the plot was forcing her to take what originally belonged to Song Yan.

If she took the Guiyun Pavilion meant for Song Yan, could she and Song Yan maintain this facade of peace?

No.

Shen Jingxian trusted Song Yan’s character, but not the plot.

She was sure taking Guihun Pavilion would definitely cause trouble between her and Song Yan.

In that case, why not gamble?

"You’ve all said you want to marry me, but do you even know my name?"

Yu Qin was stunned, evidently caught off guard, but he didn’t seem uncomfortable, rather, he naturally replied, "May I ask the lady’s name?"

"Shen Jingxian."

She didn’t hide anything, choosing to use her real name.

"I also have a title, Yi Fen."

"Ah!! I know!! Yi Fen! The Princess! The one who’s ridiculously expensive at Yiren Hall, hahaha."

"I’ve seen too! Realized it was absolute beauty then, didn’t expect Yiren Hall’s portrait didn’t capture even a tenth of the Princess’s beauty, I’ll go smash that shop another day～"

"Old eight, I’m coming with you!" He concluded with a whisper, thinking he was discreet, "Let’s grab all those Yi Fen Books inside!"

Shen Jingxian: ...

This wasn’t quite what she had in mind.

How could these people react the same upon hearing the princess’s title?

Yu Qin, on the other hand, seemed more interested in another issue, "Can’t a princess keep concubines? Can’t she keep us?"

Shen Jingxian swore, when she read the novel, she totally missed Yu Qin being this type of Yu Qin!

How brazenly he takes advantage!

She had lived two lifetimes and it was the first time she’d encountered someone openly asking her to keep them.

Importantly, not just keep me, but keep us.

Shen Jingxian was confused in the breeze, while Song Yan’s heart wasn’t as calm as she appeared to be.

Back then, her master asked if she wanted to learn medicine or martial arts, her instinct told her medicine was the way, only by learning medicine could she save and protect herself, develop her own industry while dodging Song Mansion’s scheming, medicine was undoubtedly more suitable.

But martial arts seemed too straightforward in this family courtyard.

But for some reason, Song Yan imagined the Little Princess’s face at that moment, a face always cautious when looking at her, she initially thought it was the Princess’s dislike, deliberately targeting her.

But later, she realized, the Princess was afraid to get close to her, probably fearing bad luck upon getting close to her.

Song Yan found her reasoning incredible, but she had a feeling it was true.

Otherwise, how else could one explain the Princess’s secretly high evaluation of her yet shunning her like the plague upon meeting?

Song Yan sometimes wished she had never experienced kindness and care; having seen the sun, darkness became intolerable.

Song Yan wanted to live toward the light, so she chose martial arts.

As her skills grew, she indeed managed to protect herself during accidents, and the Princess seemed less averse to approaching her.

She does not regret learning martial arts now, only regrets she’s not strong enough, and blames herself for letting her guard down.

Knowing those two women are restless lately, why didn’t she inspect her surroundings more, why trust those around her, even if they’re old acquaintances, couldn’t they be bribed?

If she hadn’t relaxed because she was in her restaurant, she wouldn’t have been drugged, and her leg wouldn’t have been injured.

If her leg wasn’t injured, they could’ve escaped before entering such danger, and the Princess wouldn’t have had to jeopardize herself to save her, being so disrespected by bandits.

Song Yan felt guilty, unable to help the Princess now.

If she could get out, she would thoroughly clean her surroundings, catch the traitor who betrayed her, and... learn some medical skills.

Not to cure difficult diseases, just to protect herself.

...

After a while, Shen Jingxian finally calmed her emotions and began to reason with Yu Qin.

As a man, he needs to be independent and strong, how could he rush to be a concubine? Being a princess’s concubine is not prestigious, not acceptable, and people would point fingers.

Isn’t it better having such a big village, than to live under someone else’s roof, to be indebted, to rely on others when self-reliance is always better!

Yu Qin nodded frequently, Shen Jingxian thought she had convinced him, but Yu Qin was still concerned with only one thing.

"I understand the reasoning, but how can one become a princess’s concubine?"

Shen Jingxian: ...

At this moment, Old Eight gave a suggestion, he had bought Yi Fen Books and knew the Princess’s preferences.

"The Princess likes those men who dance! Preferably wearing little!"

Damn! How did they find out about my secret hobbies!

Shen Jingxian tried hard to explain, but these men refused to believe and were about to strip.

Shen Jingxian immediately gestured with her hand, no way!! She’s already engaged!!

Just as the situation was about to get out of control, a nondescript masked hero appeared outside to deliver a message.

"Reporting to the Pavilion Master! The exterior mechanisms have been attacked!"

Yu Qin, who had been looking simple-minded, finally returned to normal, his eyes filled with shadow, exuding a menacing aura, "Who?"

"Judging by their attire, they resemble Imperial Family guards."

Yu Qin glanced at Shen Jingxian, a pleased smile curling at his lips, "Kill them all."
