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

There were four people present.

Jiang Zhixia's words stunned the three of them.

Jiang Xue couldn't maintain her fake smile any longer; her chubby face was filled with the word "absurd."

The queen was stunned: "Xiaxia, do you know what you're saying?"

Lu Jue was also stunned.

He seemed frozen in place, looking down at the princess in disbelief.

Right, right husband? !

The female in front of him gripped his hand tightly, as if trying to pull him out of the abyss, refusing to let go for even a moment.

Jiang Zhixia continued to stare at Jiang Xue.

Only when she has a cold expression can you see the resemblance between her eyebrows and eyes and that of the Empress Dowager, instantly arousing the majesty of royalty.

"What? Does Lord Jiang Xue think that my husband, the princess's legal husband, is unworthy of your bowing?"

Jiang Xue's lips twitched, and she forced a smile: "Princess, please don't joke, this...this is a sinner..."

"If this princess says he is, then he is," Jiang Zhixia interrupted her, spoiled and domineering. "Who do you think you are, to question me?"

After she finished speaking, she turned to look at the Queen, a genuine sense of apology in her eyes.

She pursed her lips, her voice softening, but her attitude remained resolute: "Mother, I'm sorry, I really like him, and I want him to be my legal husband."

"The Lu family is not guilty of any crime, and Lu Jue should not be a slave!"

"Mother, you haven't seen how outstanding Lu Jue is in the military, nor have you witnessed his loyalty to me. I want him to stay by my side as my legal husband!"

Jiang Lin's eyes twitched slightly, and she suddenly seemed a little stunned.

She looked into her daughter's stubborn eyes, which reminded her of how she had desperately tried to protect that person back then.

That was the case back then too. Everyone was speaking ill of her best friend, attacking, questioning, and driving her away... Only she stubbornly upheld her status as an SS-class female, determined to protect her even if it meant losing her position as the queen.

...No wonder she's her daughter.

Lu Jue stood there, the warmth seeping from their clasped hands making his heart ache.

He lowered his eyes, looking at their intertwined hands, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly.

By doing this, the princess was essentially provoking the queen.

No matter how much the princess is favored by the royal family, she will still be punished.

He opened his mouth, as if to say something.

"Have you thought it through?" the queen suddenly asked.

Jiang Xue was taken aback and looked at the Empress with surprise.

What does this mean? Are you trying to back down?!

How absurd! She actually dotes on this useless woman to this extent!

Jiang Zhixia didn't expect the Empress to ask such a question, and her tone didn't sound very angry.

She nodded emphatically, her face tense.

As expected, Jiang Lin slightly curled her lips.

"If you've thought it through, then do it," she paused, "but you have to be prepared to bear the consequences."

No one understood me back then, and I can't let my daughter go through the same thing.

Even if the daughter is wrong, with her as her mother, no matter how big the mistake, it won't fall on the daughter.

Jiang Xue's face was extremely pale.

She glanced at Jiang Zhixia, then at the Empress Dowager, wanting to say something, but shut her mouth awkwardly under the Empress Dowager's cold gaze.

"Let's go back."

Jiang Lin turned and left.

Jiang Zhixia realized that her mother was compromising, and her eyes welled up with tears.

It feels so good to be favored and protected by my family.

Jiang Xue gritted her teeth, suppressing the turmoil in her heart, and turned to follow.

"Lord Jiang Xue!"

Jiang Zhixia couldn't let her get away like that.

Raising her hand to clasp Lu Jue's, she gestured with her chin: "Did you do what I asked you to do?"

Jiang Xue stopped in her tracks, unable to believe that Jiang Zhixia was actually serious!

This useless female princess actually made her bow to a sinner?!

Just crazy!

She took a deep breath, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in her eyes.

The moment he turned around, his face was adorned with a friendly smile.

"Well... Princess, the ceremony hasn't even taken place yet, isn't that inappropriate?"

Jiang Zhixia perfectly portrayed the image of a spoiled princess, displaying an attitude of not letting anyone go until she got what she wanted: "You just insulted my husband, is it too much to ask you to bow?"

Jiang Xueya was so angry she almost bit her teeth to pieces.

But she has something that other pampered females don't: the ability to assess situations, seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and settle scores later, no matter how great the grudge.

So she lowered her head and gave a proper bow.

"It was my... rudeness."

Jiang Zhixia watched, feeling no joy whatsoever.

The lives of so many members of the Lu family, the humiliation and abuse Lu Jue suffered in the slave market... it's not enough, absolutely not enough.

After Jiang Xue finished bowing, she raised her head and met two pairs of eyes.

The abandoned female princess's eyes radiated coldness, and behind her, the wolf cub with its fangs gradually becoming sharp was glaring fiercely at her.

This is bad.

Jiang Xue emerged from the villa in a disheveled state, quickening her pace to catch up with the Empress.

On the way back to the palace, she wisely kept quiet.

The queen's attitude seemed to indicate acquiescence.

It will be difficult to touch Lu Jue now.

What should we do?

Are we really going to let that wolf cub cling to the royal family and reveal all the evidence of his crimes from back then?!

No, absolutely not.

She had worked so hard to climb to the position of Lord of Hailan Star. If she were to be investigated, all the status and power she enjoyed now would be gone.

As he was pondering this, the Empress Dowager stepped into the main hall and coldly ordered her attendants.

"Go and summon His Highness."

Jiang Xue paused in her steps.

Oh? Are they going to interrogate Jiang Ting?

Yes, Lu Jue was able to enter the military, and Jiang Ting, as a general, must know about his background.

The eldest prince was probably forced to secretly send that wolf cub into the military because of the pleading of the deposed princess.

Thinking about it this way, the princess was partly to some extent the reason why Jiang Ting investigated the Lu family.

But he stopped when he found the Jin family. The Lu family is still guilty, but now the Jin family is an "accomplice" and they are sharing the blame.

Jiang Xue's eyes darted around, and suddenly a brilliant idea struck her.

Yup!

She could try to win Jiang Ting over!

Jiang Ting holds military power and is a highly influential figure in the entire empire. If one can gain the protection of this prince, there is nothing to fear even if one is investigated!

Jiang Xue thought it was a good idea, and couldn't help but smile.

Just as she was pondering how to use her methods, she looked up and met a pair of scrutinizing eyes.

Instantly, a chill ran down my spine.

Jiang Lin stood not far away, watching her coldly.

"Lord Jiang Xue, shouldn't you go back?"

Who is she? She is the Empress Dowager who controls most of the empire's resources.

She was with her daughter just now, and in her concern, she didn't react immediately.

But in just a short while, I figured out a lot.

Coincidentally, after her eldest son discovered the Jin family, who were accomplices of the Lu family, Jiang Xue suddenly had the audacity to come to the capital star for a visit. Coincidentally, she whispered in her ear about the Lu family's orphaned son who was with her daughter, and coincidentally, she also allowed herself to see the Lu family's files.

There are no such coincidences in the world.

Jiang Xue contributed a great deal to this.

Jiang Xue's smile froze for a moment, then quickly returned: "Sister, I'll be back tomorrow. Thank you for taking care of me during this time."

Jiang Lin calmly withdrew her gaze and waved for her to leave.

Jiang Xue quickly bowed and withdrew.

As she turned around, a sinister glint flashed in her eyes.

Jiang Lin... you'll regret protecting that useless woman sooner or later.

The palace doors closed, and Jiang Lin gave a cold sneer.

Jiang Xue almost caused a rift between her and her daughter!

Let alone a sister you don't know well, even a sister from the same womb is not allowed!

A moment later, the door was pushed open.

Jiang Ting strode in and bowed, saying, "Mother."

Jiang Lin looked at him, somewhat worried.

This child's personality was nothing like her soft-spoken best friend, but one thing she was very clear about was that Jiang Ting never lied to her or His Majesty.

Now, for the sake of their daughter, they're keeping such an important matter a secret.

"Get up," Jiang Lin leaned back in her chair and reached out her hand. "You have control of the chip that slave next to Xia Xia, right? Give it to me."

Since a criminal could enter the military, her eldest son couldn't possibly be completely unprepared. At the very least, he would have the criminal's life in his hands. That's why she didn't ask her daughter for it earlier.

Jiang Ting paused.

He had just received news that the Queen and Jiang Xue had gone to the princess's private residence.

The fact that the Queen Mother has summoned me to ask this question clearly indicates that the truth has been revealed.

He didn't argue, but simply knelt down on one knee.

"Mother, I'm sorry, I can't give it to you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lin slammed her hand on the table in exasperation: "Are you and Xia Xia trying to drive me crazy?!"

She stood up and looked at her eldest son, whom she had always been proud of.

"Xiaxia just said in front of me that she wants that convict to be her legal husband. You didn't see how stubborn she was; I couldn't bear to refuse her!"

"She's just being immature, why are you reacting like this? I want control of his chip, it's for Xiaxia's safety!"

Jiang Ting's pupils contracted slightly, and his breath hitched.

Jiang Zhixia asked, "Should we make Lu Jue our official husband?"

Actually, he had already thought of it.

Jiang Zhixia's affection for that wolf cub was to be expected, as was her position as the rightful husband.

But hearing it with my own ears still made my heart ache.

He lowered his eyes, sighed silently, suppressed his emotions, raised his head, and looked calm.

"Mother, Lu Jue's talent is rare even in the entire military."

"The Empire currently only has one general, me, but given time, he can become the second."

Jiang Lin frowned.

Is it really that exaggerated?

I just heard my daughter say that she's just infatuated and has overly romanticized the wolf clan.

Now that the eldest son has the same attitude, we have no choice but to take it seriously.

Jiang Ting continued, "If his control isn't in the military, he can only charge forward at the front. Mother, the empire needs a second general."

Jiang Lin remained silent for a few seconds.

She withdrew her hand and sat down again.

"Pull up the military footage; I want to see it myself."
