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

The news feed from the capital city once again shows the third princess trending high on the hot list.

[Royal wedding preparations are underway; formal marriage with the Su family next month]

This wasn't entirely unexpected, since everyone already knew about the engagement.

But the focus is on another news item right below the princess entry.

[Su Tongwei, the head of the Su family, suddenly falls seriously ill; her concubines and servants are dismissed, and the once noble family collapses overnight.]

The two news items are juxtaposed, creating a stark contrast.

The public was deeply saddened.

"Su Tongwei's illness couldn't have come at the worst possible time. She just managed to climb into the royal family, and now she's about to collapse?"

"That's right. I heard that the Su family's businesses have all been taken over by the royal family. What a pity, they weren't fortunate enough to have them."

"Do you think the Su family's downfall has anything to do with the princess's fiancé?"

"Shh...say less, that's the princess's husband."

The overweight Su Tongwei leaned against the headboard, her face ashen.

That once well-maintained face was covered with tired lines in just a few days.

She watched helplessly as Su Chen summoned in her carefully selected concubines and servants one by one, calmly announcing their dismissal.

Her eyes were filled with resentment, but she didn't even have the strength to raise her hand.

Of course, some beastmen stayed behind.

Su Chen held a vial of unknown potion in his hand, and kneeling in front of him was a trembling male rabbit—one of Su Tongwei's most favored beast husbands, who had humiliated him quite a bit over the years.

"Only you are left."

The rabbit-like beastman trembled with fear.

The other beastmen who had humiliated Su Chen were all given drugs that damaged their mental strength, leaving them half-mad and half-foolish. Now it's his turn!

Su Tongwei's chest heaved violently, her voice hoarse: "Su Chen...you...you dare..."

Su Chen seemed not to hear, bent down and held the potion to the rabbit-like beastman's lips, his voice gentle: "Drink it."

The rabbit-like beastman shook his head frantically, looking at Su Tongwei in a panic, his face covered in tears and snot. "Mistress! Mistress, save me! I don't want to drink it!"

Su Chen sighed, as if regretting that he hadn't listened.

The next second, he grabbed the other person's chin with one hand and deftly poured the entire vial of medicine into their mouth!

"Gulp... Ugh—!!"

A piercing scream rang out.

As the drug took effect, the rabbit-like beastman curled up on the ground in agony, his limbs twitching, his mental energy rapidly dissipating and collapsing.

Within minutes, he was only breathing faintly and collapsed to the ground, motionless.

Su Chen casually tossed the empty medicine tube aside and took out a handkerchief to slowly wipe his fingers.

Su Tongwei is foolish and ignorant. Because she is afraid of losing control, the beastmen she has gathered over the years are not of high level. This has made things easier for him, and now he can destroy them with ease.

He looked at Su Tongwei, who was lying on the bed with her eyes wide open in fury, and said in a calm tone, "Mother, all the people who 'took care' of me over the years have been dealt with, except for Su Mingxu."

He turned his head slightly to the side, like an obedient son seeking his mother's opinion.

"Would you like to travel with him, or would you like your son to see you off first?"

Su Tongwei trembled all over, staring at him intently, wishing she could stab him to death with her eyes.

"You...you bastard...why don't you die with me...!"

Su Chen lowered his eyelashes and sighed softly.

"That won't do. I'm an illegitimate child and have no right to go on the same journey as my mother."

"you--!"

Su Tongwei was so angry that her vision blurred and she felt a sharp pain in her chest.

She never acknowledged that Su Chen was her son. Every time she saw his face, she would be reminded of the humiliation of being treated as merchandise by the Su family and forced into a contract with a lowly male.

So she placed him in the position of an illegitimate child, subjecting him to endless cold treatment.

But she never expected that this son, whom she regarded as a disgrace, would have such a vicious mind and methods!

He killed members of the Su family, destroyed half of the Su family's assets, and transferred the rest to the royal family. Even she herself didn't know when she was poisoned. In the past few days, the poison has taken effect, leaving her paralyzed on one side and unable to even get out of bed!

The Su family is about to be completely destroyed!

Su Tongwei pointed at him with trembling hands, "You only dare to be so unscrupulous because you're relying on the princess's power..."

Su Chen listened quietly without refuting.

That's not wrong. If the Third Princess hadn't shown interest in him, he wouldn't have been able to disrupt the Su family so quickly as the "Princess's husband," nor would he have made the other nobles who were on good terms with Su Tongwei wary and back down.

Seeing his silence, Su Tongwei scoffed, "You just fooled the princess with that docile face, didn't you? If she knew you were a scheming, ruthless man, would she still dote on you?"

Su Chen raised his eyes.

Those eyes, which always held a gentle smile, were now unfathomable.

After a long silence, he spoke softly, "Mother, you don't need to worry about this."

Ignoring Su Tongwei's curses, he turned and walked out of the room.

The reason for not killing Su Tongwei now is to avoid implicating the princess.

Su Tongwei was, after all, a registered noblewoman, and her death would certainly trigger an investigation.

He initially intended to die together with Su Tongwei, and the poison he administered could be easily detected through an investigation.

The scandal of "the princess's husband poisoning his mother" would tarnish the princess's reputation; such a nasty label should not be attached to her.

The quantum computer vibrated slightly.

Su Chen looked down and saw the message that popped up on the screen.

[Su Chen! Su Chen! My mother is urging me to set a date. I'll set it for next week first. Is that enough time? If not, I can always postpone it.]

It's Jiang Zhixia.

Su Chen stared at that line of text for a long time before slowly replying.

That's enough, thank you, Princess.

……

After receiving the message, Jiang Zhixia glanced at the news.

Good heavens... Su Chen moved so fast?

She knew that such a big commotion in the Su family must have been caused by Su Chen, but she couldn't sympathize with the Su family; she was just a little worried about Su Chen.

In such an extreme situation, his mental state could be even worse.

She needs to find a time to talk to Su Chen in person.

A servant carefully carried in a snow-white wedding dress.

"Princess, the Queen Mother wants you to take a look at your wedding dress. Try it on; if it doesn't fit, it can be altered."

Jiang Zhixia looked at the dress with a troubled expression.

After her second awakening, the Queen was eager for her to form a contract with Su Chen. Seeing that she had agreed to set a date, she directly sent over the custom-made dress.

She sighed, took the dress, and went into the dressing room.

Honestly, the dress is really beautiful.

The silky smooth satin skirt, adorned with tiny crystals that shimmered like stars under the light, perfectly befitted the status of a royal princess.

After changing into her formal dress, she twirled in front of the mirror, the hem of her skirt swaying in a soft arc.

Jiang Zhixia touched the hem of her skirt with regret.

It's a pity, she can't use it.

The engagement was fake; this gorgeous wedding dress was destined to only hang in the closet and gather dust.

"dislike?"

A deep voice suddenly came from behind.

Jiang Zhixia stiffened and turned to look.

Jiang Ting was still wearing his general's uniform, standing tall and straight at the door, his gaze fixed on her, deep and unfathomable.

Jiang Zhixia felt a chill run down her spine whenever she saw him, but she forced a smile and said, "I like it, it's quite handsome."

Jiang Ting didn't say anything, but walked directly towards her.

He naturally reached out and placed his hand on her waist.

Jiang Zhixia's breath hitched, and she instinctively tried to back away, but was held firmly by those large hands.

Jiang Zhixia was stunned. "...Big brother?"

Didn't we agree that I'd only be the eldest brother? What's going on here?

Jiang Ting seemed oblivious to her stiffness, pinching her waist with both hands to measure her, his tone flat.

"Have you gained weight?"

Jiang Zhixia: "..." You're being a bit impolite.

She slapped his hands away in annoyance and twisted her waist to slip out from under his grasp: "Oh, maybe I've been eating too much lately."

It's because we didn't know what Little White Flower ate before, and it kept saying it was hungry, which made its appetite increase.

Jiang Ting let her break free, then reached out and turned the female halfway around, so that her back was to him. He then leaned down slightly, pressed his ear to the back of her neck, and took a deep sniff.

Jiang Zhixia, completely unable to struggle under his control: "..."

His warm breath sprayed onto her sensitive skin, making the hairs on her body stand on end. She tried to speak to remind him.

"Big brother, what brings you here?"

The man was tall, towering over her, and stood behind her with a somber expression and downcast eyes: "Can't your older brother come to watch you try on your wedding dress?"

The female in the mirror was wearing a wedding dress and looked stunning.

Jiang Zhixia glanced at her glasses speechlessly.

Jiang Ting remained expressionless, but a suppressed emotion churned within his dark eyes.

...She must be seeing things; how could she see grievance on that icy face?

Jiang Zhixia took a deep breath and quickly asked the question she hadn't had a chance to ask yesterday.

"Brother, how's the investigation into the Lu family going?"

Her question instantly turned the man's eyes cold.

Jiang Ting slowly straightened up, and the temperature around his body dropped a few degrees.

Ah, it's Lu Jue again.

After a while.

Jiang Zhixia sat on the edge of the bed, deep in thought as she flipped through the investigation materials.

Jiang Ting sat on the chair next to her, his long legs crossed, looking at her indifferently.

The female, dressed in her wedding gown, stood close to him, her fragrance even more pronounced than before filling the air.

She was frowning with worry over other males, biting her lip and sighing.

A wave of irritation washed over me.

But he didn't say anything to disturb them.

He has a clear understanding of his own position. Jiang Zhixia treats him as an older brother, but he has no intention of staying in that position for long.

First, you need to make the females not feel afraid of you.

Although he wasn't quite sure why he was so afraid of him.

Was it because I'm usually too serious? Or was it because of that forced kiss?

Take it slow and proceed gradually.

He has plenty of patience.

Jiang Zhixia stared at the documents, maintaining a composed facade, but inwardly she was so shocked she couldn't speak.

This plot isn't right!

The original storyline consistently emphasized that the people who framed the Lu family were nobles, and had absolutely nothing to do with the royal family.

But now, the results of Jiang Ting's investigation show that the royal female was behind the corruption and framing.

Jiang Zhixia looked serious.

She finally realized that she had trusted the original storyline too much.
