Chapter 356 The Cat Demon who repays the wrong favor helps the female supporting role ascend the thr
However, Nalan Rongruo still wore a faint smile and softly replied, "I truly admire Brother Jia! Back then, at only ten years old, you resolutely assumed the responsibility of being the head of the family. With your own outstanding talents and unremitting efforts, you expanded the family business to all parts of the dynasty. Now, at such a young age, not even thirty years old, you have already become a wealthy man."
In fact, long before setting out to come here, Su Lan had carefully told the princess in detail all the experiences that Jia Lin had experienced since he was a child, including his deep regret that he was a successful businessman but was looked down upon because of his status, and that his family members were unable to embark on a career in politics and realize their political ambitions.
"Princess, you are too kind. As the eldest son in the family, I should provide a pillar of support for the family." Jia Lin respectfully clasped his fists and expressed his gratitude, his words full of humility.
At this moment, Nalan Rongruo nodded slightly, looking at Jia Lin with a gentle gaze, and then asked, "I just heard that there are two brothers and sisters in your family who are very good at studying, but due to some reasons, they have never been able to fully display their talents and ambitions. I wonder if this is true?"
Jia Lin was secretly surprised that the princess knew so much about his family's situation! He couldn't help but feel extremely anxious, fearing that his merchant son's opening of a clan school would anger the royal family. He suddenly threw his clothes and knelt on his knees without hesitation, forehead pressed to the ground, and said in a trembling voice, "This matter is indeed inconsiderate of me. Please punish me, Your Highness!"
"Brother Jia, please stand up quickly. Don't be so polite." Nalan Rongruo hurried forward, gently helping Jia Lin to his feet. He said in a gentle and soothing tone, "Although I am a woman, I have always longed to ascend the supreme throne. Unfortunately, the world is full of injustices. Women are not allowed to participate in politics or become officials, and merchants like you are not even eligible to take the imperial examinations. Are these so-called rules necessarily correct? They are nothing more than long-standing, deeply ingrained prejudices."
Hearing this, Jia Lin's mouth dropped open in shock, staring at Nalan Rongruo in disbelief. He had long heard rumors about the Second Princess's ambitions. It was said that she not only frequently participated in discussions about court affairs, but also performed exceptionally well, often outshining the other princes. Hearing the princess' words in person, Jia Lin was convinced that those rumors were not groundless.
"Your Highness, you..." Jia Lin stuttered, not knowing how to respond for a moment.
Nalan Rongruo gazed firmly into Jia Lin's eyes and continued earnestly, "I am determined to break these unreasonable old systems and create a new situation of fairness and justice. Brother Jia, I wonder if you are willing to lend me a hand?"
After listening to what Nalan Rongruo said, Jia Lin couldn't help but feel a strong wave of emotion in his heart. Even a strong and resolute man like him was deeply moved.
At this moment, he finally made up his mind and stopped hesitating. You know, even the Second Princess, a woman, dared to fight so hard, so what would it mean if he placed all his bets on her?
Jia Lin bowed solemnly and said, "I am willing to serve Her Royal Highness the Princess at my service!"
His solemn promise also indicated his willingness to side with the princess. Meanwhile, Jin Ling's voice was playing in real time within the system, "Master, An Jing's heroine aura is only 30% gone. We're one step closer to success."
In sharp contrast, a dazzling halo appeared above Nalan Rongruo's head at this moment.
After careful observation and thinking, Su Lan gradually discovered the most unique and wonderful thing about this small world - it turned out that there was a phenomenon of transfer of the protagonist's halo here!
In this life, the heroine is completely different from the previous one, but the hero is Wang Qingchen from beginning to end. This shows that Wang Qingchen is truly the author's favorite, and is favored like the author's own son.
Thinking of this, Su Lan decided not to stop An Jing's rumor-mongering behavior for the time being. She wanted to take this opportunity to test whether this person really loved Nalan Rongruo.
After all, in the previous life, it was because this person killed An Jing that the small world collapsed and led to the quick-travel situation, so Su Lan had to figure out whether he did that out of his deep and strong love for Nalan Rongruo, or just because his personal self-esteem was hurt and he was angry and ashamed.
However, considering Nalan Rongruo's feelings and the possible impact he might face, Su Lan still revealed some of the details about the heroine's behind-the-scenes actions to Nalan Rongruo in advance, and comforted her: "Princess, please rest assured. Although this matter may cause a certain degree of damage to your reputation, I already have a comprehensive response strategy to properly handle everything."
After this is over, I will accompany you to General Wang's residence and explain everything to him." Su Lan said earnestly.
"Of course I trust Lord Chu. As the saying goes, rumors stop at the wise. Let's wait and see how this farce ends." Nalan Rongruo smiled faintly, revealing a confident look. She firmly believed that the deep relationship between her and Wang Qingchen would never be shattered by such nonsense.
As the saying goes, money makes the world go round. Indeed, just one day later, storytellers in several small restaurants in the city began to vividly recount the erotic stories between the princess and her many close friends to the audience who came to listen.
You should know that the emperor of this dynasty had only three princesses. The eldest princess, Nalan Jiaying, unfortunately died of illness at the age of five. As for the third princess, Nalan Anjing, she has always been unknown and little known.
As a result, the second princess, Nalan Rongruo, who had just come of age and had already left the palace to establish her own household, became the focus of everyone's attention. Moreover, this second princess had recently frequently participated in government affairs, spending her days discussing state affairs with a group of men. Naturally, she was seen as the perfect choice for the promiscuous princess in the story.
An Jing, meanwhile, sat in one of the restaurants, watching the storyteller with a smile as he spoke with such gusto. She was convinced that within a day, the entire capital would be filled with the news that Nalan Rongruo was a fickle and dissolute woman. At this moment, she was happily waiting for the General's Mansion to call off the engagement, so that she could swoop in and successfully take advantage of the situation.
However, An Jing's almond-sized head had never thought about this question: Even if Nalan Rongruo broke off the engagement with the General's Mansion, how could she, a commoner woman with no background, have the opportunity to marry into the General's Mansion?
At the same time, Nalan Rongruo's subordinates had already received the notice, but did not take immediate action to clarify the truth or arrest those who spread rumors.
That same day, Nalan Rongruo went to the palace to attend the morning court as usual. Who could have imagined that upon entering the court, she would be fiercely impeached by several literary and historical officials.
