Transmigrated into a useless female in interstellar space, she won big by picking up an SSS-level be

Jiang Ting was looking at the investigation report that his subordinate had just sent over.

As soon as Jiang Zhixia left, he immediately mobilized his men to conduct an in-depth investigation of the Jin family, following the mining records.

Since the Jin family took over the Lu family's mines two years ago, they have acted with almost no restraint.

According to imperial law, nobles only have the right to mine mineral veins. Ninety percent of the mined ore must be handed over to the military, and only one-tenth can be kept for their own use.

However, the investigation revealed that the amount of ore that the Kim family had secretly retained was almost half the amount that had been handed over to the military.

This is blatant theft of imperial resources.

More importantly, there is the issue of manpower.

To complete such a massive amount of illegal mining, it would be impossible for the Jin family to do so with the limited manpower they have on the surface.

If the other nobles on Hailan Star didn't dare to get involved in the mining, then where did the Jin family get their manpower from?

The answer is obvious.

federal.

The Jin family colluded with the Federation right under the Empire's nose to resell the ore privately. The Federation then processed this ore, which had flowed out of the Empire, into weapons and protective equipment, which were then used on the battlefield against the Empire.

What an irony.

The Lu family bore the stigma of treason for two years, while the real traitor remained at large within the empire and was one of the most powerful nobles on Hailan Star.

Jiang Ting's eyes were probing, and he frowned slightly.

If this line of investigation is followed, the Lu family's innocence will soon be proven.

This was originally a good thing.

But it went too smoothly.

It's as if someone knows in advance what he's looking for and just hands him the answer.

And...why is Jiang Zhixia so certain?

She was certain that the Lu family had not betrayed the country, and was convinced that as long as she obtained the mining records, she could find out that the Lu family had been wronged.

Why?

The computer screen lit up briefly.

"Brother, have you found out yet?"

Jiang Ting casually swiped the screen, looking at the series of messages that were bombarding him, as if he could see the female anxiously looking up at him with her beautiful face, questioning him through the screen.

"...Hmph." He chuckled.

Jiang Zhixia received Jiang Ting's reply after she finished breakfast.

Two words: one week.

Great, that's a real boss.

The Lu family can find out everything in a week?

She happily exited the chat window with Jiang Ting, opened Chen Li's chat window, and sent the message.

Want to hook up?

Chen Li: "..."

Half an hour later, in the East District.

Chen Li and her beast husband stared in disbelief as a bright pink hovercar drifted and came to a steady stop in front of her.

The car window rolled down, and Jiang Zhixia took off her sunglasses, popping her head out: "Bestie, get in!"

Chen Li hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Is the princess alone?"

These days, when a female goes out alone, she's never alone.

Noblewomen are usually surrounded by their beastmen when they go out, or they have a large group of slaves, guards, and servants. She only brought one beastman today, which is already considered very low-key.

The princess didn't bring anyone with her!

Putting aside the question of safety, this is certainly not the style of a princess who was always surrounded by a retinue.

Chen Li's beast husband looked at his female master somewhat awkwardly.

Jiang Zhixia waved her hand: "Come on, let's go!"

She was a little puzzled: Why bring your husband when you go for a beauty treatment?

Soon, she found out why she had brought her husband.

The beauty salon in the East District offers a full range of services, from skincare to full-body massage.

Chen Li lay on the comfortable massage bed, while her lover carefully served her, handing her drinks, adjusting the lighting, testing the water temperature, and even cutting the fruit into bite-sized pieces.

Chen Li didn't need to move a finger the entire time.

Jiang Zhixia was sitting next to him, holding a melon of some unknown variety and munching on it.

She said quietly, "It's good to have a husband to take care of you."

Chen Li laughed so hard she almost choked.

The blushing beastly husband next to her quickly patted his mistress's back.

What husband... he's just a concubine.

After catching her breath, Chen Li teased her, "It's not like the beauty salon didn't arrange for someone to take care of you; you just didn't want it."

Jiang Zhixia recalled the few young men who had been fawned over by the beauty salon manager and brought in to serve her.

When she saw those mermaids in the hot spring area last time, she wondered if the Jin family was illegally employing child laborers.

I just found out that in the Empire, it's legal for lower-class males to start working once they turn fifteen.

Moreover, because most lower-class males have difficulty finding females to form contracts with, jobs that allow close contact with females are highly sought after, and besides looks, younger men are more likely to get the job.

Because the younger the child, the cleaner their body...

Jiang Zhixia waved her hand and said stiffly, "I don't like small ones."

Chen Li looked at her with a half-smile: "Is it that you don't like someone being young, or that you don't like other parts of them being small?"

Jiang Zhixia looked at her in surprise.

Okay, okay, I didn't realize that this sweet girl was making dirty jokes!

After joking and laughing for a while, the beauty salon arranged a massage.

To Jiang Zhixia's relief, the masseuse turned out to be legitimate and female.

Lower-class females.

The little girl massaged the third princess with trepidation, having heard a little about the princess's spoiled temper and afraid of displeasing her.

But after only a couple of presses, the Third Princess was heard moaning with pleasure.

Jiang Zhixia looked ecstatic: Ah, so good... The girl's hands are so fragrant and soft, with just the right amount of pressure, it feels so good.

Chen Li asked from the side, "Is the Su family's matter resolved? I thought the princess was too busy to come out and play."

Jiang Zhixia buried her face in the massage bed pillow and said in a muffled voice, "You mean Su Chen? I wanted to go see him, but he said his injuries weren't serious and wouldn't let me go. He's at the research institute doing a closed project right now, and said we can only meet tomorrow. He should be fine. I'll go see him when the research institute reopens."

Chen Li blinked in surprise.

The princess's fiancé... refused her request to visit him?

Is he so arrogant because he's been favored?

But that's not the point.

"No, that's not it. I thought you were busy organizing the Su family's businesses and that's why you didn't have time."

Jiang Zhixia raised her head in confusion: "Huh? What industry?"

Chen Li looked even more confused than she did: "Princess, didn't you know? Didn't the Su family transfer most of their assets to the royal family?"

Jiang Zhixia looked completely bewildered.

She doesn't know.

When did this happen?

What does the transfer of power to the royal family have to do with her?

Seeing the princess's expression, Chen Li guessed that she seemed genuinely confused, and explained with a smile, "Su Chen is about to enter into a contract with you, so of course he has to transfer his properties to the female. Otherwise, a husband who can't afford to support a female will be scorned."

"After the sanatorium explosion, Su Chen transferred all his properties to the royal family's agent before even entering the treatment ward. He was probably worried that he would be disliked because of his serious injuries."

Jiang Zhixia's expression turned serious.

That's not right.

Why did Su Chen give her the business?

Didn't we agree to break off the engagement after three months? Isn't he afraid of taking over the business himself?

She chuckled and said, "I don't care whether he has businesses or not; the important thing is the person."

Chen Li exclaimed "Wow!"

I had long heard of the princess's reputation for being infatuated and love-struck, but after getting to know her, I thought it was just a rumor and a misconception. I didn't expect... she really does have some of those traits.

Chen Li's husband, who was listening nearby, felt a mix of emotions.

No matter how hard males work to earn money and give it to females, they won't be given a second glance.

Although the princess is love-struck, she's genuinely good to her beast husband...

After completing the entire procedure at the beauty salon, Jiang Zhixia felt completely refreshed.

The East District Commercial Street has a complete range of industries, and she dragged Chen Li to visit several more stores, where they bought quite a few things.

Many of the items were clothes and daily necessities bought for Lu Jue, as well as gifts to bring when visiting Su Chen tomorrow, which surprised Chen Li.

The princess didn't buy much for herself; she bought all sorts of male enhancement products.

The two of them, carrying large and small bags, had just turned out of a luxury store when a flash of red passed by.

Jiang Zhixia looked up and saw the eerie face she had met once before.

Following the scent, Ning Yi unsurprisingly spotted Jiang Zhixia.

He slowly bowed: "Your Highness."

Jiang Zhixia was quite surprised to see Ning Yi.

Compared to their last meeting, Ning Yi looked unwell now, his whole appearance was haggard, and even his flamboyant red hair couldn't hide his fatigue.

She remembered that this was Su Chen's friend, and their last meeting had been quite unpleasant.

She waved her hand: "No need for such formalities. You're Su Chen's good friend, right?"

Ning Yi smiled, a cryptic smile playing on his lips: "It seems the princess and her husband are getting along very well. They must have a very good relationship, right?"

Jiang Zhixia nodded confidently: "Of course."

She looked Ning Yi up and down, and couldn't help but ask, "You look very tired. I heard you were injured in the last Zerg attack. Are you alright?"

Ning Yi was taken aback, seemingly not expecting her to care about him.

He tossed a strand of red hair around his fingertip, squinting at her like a lazy fox. "Thank you for your concern, Princess. I'm alright now."

Chen Li, watching from the side, grew anxious and quietly tugged at Jiang Zhixia's sleeve, "Princess, we should go..."

She had heard of Ning Yi's reputation; he controlled an industry that served females, yet he treated females extremely poorly and frequently frequented shady establishments.

Although the other person had saved her life, she subconsciously felt repulsed by them.

It's best to avoid contact with this type of male.

Jiang Zhixia nodded and said to Ning Yi, "Then you should rest more. I'll be going now."

Ning Yi glanced at the unfamiliar female next to Jiang Zhixia, but couldn't remember who she was. However, most females treated him this way, so he didn't pay any attention to her.

His narrow eyes only saw Jiang Zhixia. Seeing that she was about to leave, he didn't say anything more, but simply bowed again and turned to leave.

Jiang Zhixia watched as that red figure disappeared into the crowd, like a drop of blood dissolving into water.

Jiang Zhixia was exhausted when she returned to the villa after leaving the East District.

I gave the newly bought clothes to 666 to wash, and planned to visit Lu Jue at the military headquarters in a week.

I wonder if her little wolf cub is doing well, or if he's been bullied.
