Quick Transmigration: Don't Let an Honest Man Become a Villainous Supporting Female Character

Some time has passed since the incident at the horse farm.

After the Third Prince was shot with a slingshot, he somehow found a new slingshot, which was even inlaid with gemstones.

Whenever he had time, he would take out his slingshot and shoot wildly everywhere, which annoyed the Second Prince to no end.

"Third brother, can you put that slingshot away? What if it hits me?"

Hearing the Second Prince's impatient voice, the Third Prince was about to lose his temper, but when he thought of the Imperial Concubine's recent rise to prominence, he held back his anger.

"snort!"

If he can't fight inside, he can fight outside, right?

He kept hitting the tree outside the study, making a continuous thumping sound.

Just then, he noticed a gaze.

Xiao Yanchen was hiding in a corner, looking at the jewel-encrusted slingshot on his body. The Third Prince was extremely proud: "Seventh Brother, this was a gift from Father Emperor. Have you ever had anything given to you by Father Emperor?"

Xiao Yanchen's eyes reddened, and he clenched his fists.

The Third Prince scoffed at his appearance.

He probably thought that by entering the Imperial Study, he would gain his father's favor, little did he know that his father already loathed him to the extreme.

The third prince would shoot birds in the sky one moment and ants on the ground the next.

Xiao Yanchen whispered, "Third Brother, is the slingshot Father bestowed upon us better than the ordinary slingshot?"

The Third Prince rolled his eyes dramatically: "Nonsense."

Xiao Yanchen pointed to the magpie's nest in a withered tree not far away and asked hesitantly, "Can Third Brother reach that place?"

The Third Prince scoffed, "What's so special about that?"

He drew back the slingshot to its full extent and fired with all his might. Just as he released it, Xiao Yanchen suddenly shouted, "Third Brother, watch out!"

The third prince was startled by his sudden voice. His hand trembled, and the bullet missed the magpie's nest, but instead shattered the window. The next second, the sound of an inkstone breaking suddenly filled the air.

The air suddenly became quiet.

The teacher in the room looked at the inkstone that had been shattered into several pieces and was so angry that he could hardly breathe. This was the Duan inkstone that the late emperor had bestowed upon him!

He was so angry that he walked out of the room to find the Third Prince.

"Your Highness, this is a sacred relic of the late Emperor! How am I supposed to explain this to the Censorate?!"

The teacher's eyes were bloodshot, and he barely managed to suppress his anger. He already disliked the Third Prince, but he never expected that the Third Prince would actually smash his inkstone!

The Third Prince had never seen the Master act like this before, and his face turned pale: "I...I didn't mean to."

"Go stand outside!" The teacher was furious. He pointed to the snow-covered corridor by the door. "Kneel there and recite the Classic of Filial Piety!"

The Third Prince was so shocked by the scolding that his mind went blank. He shrank back, lowered his head, and walked down the corridor.

The snow quickly soaked through his robe. He wiped away his tears and cried, "Confucius said: 'Filial piety is the root of virtue, and the source of all teachings...'"

The attendants and princes inside showed no sympathy at the sight; instead, they burst into sneer.

The scholar looked at the broken inkstone, his heart bleeding. He not only had to write a memorial to the emperor to apologize, but also had to explain to the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Household Department.

Hearing the Third Prince crying at the door, a look of exhaustion crossed his face.

The sound of crying could not be stopped from the Shenxing Division. It was dark inside, and there was a damp smell as soon as you entered.

Eunuch Liu sat in his armchair, slowly observing the two people kneeling on the ground.

Ji Chaoxi, tears streaming down her face, and an old eunuch, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Eunuch Liu, even though this Xiao Xizi is your godson, you can't protect him!" the old eunuch wailed. "This Xiao Xizi is always dishonest; he even stole this purse, which was sewn by my family!"

Ji Chaoxi could no longer contain herself: "You're talking nonsense! I embroidered this purse myself, and the beads inside..."

"Beads? What beads!" the old eunuch shouted, interrupting Ji Chaoxi's voice. "You stole them, you stole them!"

Ji Chaoxi: ...

Just as Ji Chaoxi was about to speak again, the old eunuch started wailing again, refusing to let her speak.

Ji Chaoxi stared longingly at Eunuch Liu.

The old eunuch was still crying there, saying that the purse was sewn for him by his deceased sister, and he was crying so hard that it was heartbreaking.

Eunuch Liu put down his teacup and said calmly, "Bring it here, let me take a look."

The eunuch next to him quickly handed the purse to Eunuch Liu. Eunuch Liu glanced at it and couldn't help but twitch his lips.

The stitches were uneven and crooked, with a pair of silly-looking white geese in the middle.

Ji Chaoxi looked at Eunuch Liu with even more fervor.

Her master should know her skills very well; she learned from a skilled embroiderer!

Eunuch Liu had a sinister look on his face, and his voice was thin and shrill: "Your sister's embroidery of this purse, I would believe it if you said it was embroidered with her feet."

Ji Chaoxi's face immediately fell.

The old eunuch forced a smile and said, "My younger sister's cooking skills are indeed not very good."

Liu Gonggong was carrying a heavy purse. It was obvious that the old eunuch wanted the pearl inside. Although the pearl was defective, it was still worth a lot of money outside the palace.

Eunuch Liu played with the pearls, smiling broadly: "These pearls also belong to your little sister?"

The old eunuch quickly nodded.

Eunuch Liu looked at him sinisterly, holding the pearl up to the charcoal pan. After a while, a very shallow scratch appeared on the pearl, revealing the character "Liu".

The old eunuch's face turned pale instantly, and he stared wide-eyed in terror.

Ji Chaoxi was extremely smug. She immediately got up from the ground and shouted, "You said this pearl is yours, so why is my godfather's surname engraved on it? Are you also my godfather's godson?"

Ji Chaoxi looked at Eunuch Liu with bright eyes: "Right, Godfather!"

Eunuch Liu didn't want to look at her and disdainfully tossed her the large white goose-shaped purse he was carrying.

He stood up, took a handkerchief and carefully wiped his hands, his voice gentle: "Punish yourself."

The eunuch beside her walked over to the old eunuch, who cried even louder. Ji Chaoxi quickly followed Eunuch Liu out.

Because of the Third Prince's matter, everyone in the Imperial Study was quiet afterwards, and Xiao Yanchen also unusually left school on time.

In the afternoon, while Xiao Yanchen and Ji Chaoxi were having lunch together, Xiao Yanchen cautiously asked, "Xiao Xizi, why won't you let me do the laundry?"

Ji Chaoxi asked in confusion, "Aren't you very busy right now? I'll just wash it myself."

Xiao Yanchen looked at her nervously: "But I want to wash, Xiao Xizi, please let me wash."

Ji Chaoxi was silent for a while. She was starting to wonder if Xiao Yanchen had Stockholm syndrome.

Seeing that Ji Chaoxi didn't speak, Xiao Yanchen looked at her expectantly and tugged at her sleeve.

"Then I'll bring it to you next time."

"Mmm, Xiao Xizi, don't forget, I told you last time and you've forgotten..."

"Oh dear!"

"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore..."
