Socially awkward person transmigrates into a villain, and he's going crazy for romance reality

Compared to the turbulent events outside the Prince's mansion, Chi Yining was like a little devil; wherever there was a prince, there was Chi Yining.

The people below dared not speak, but the servants who went out to buy supplies could not keep their mouths shut and could not stand being insulted. Everyone said that their prince was a demon from hell, a fierce and evil god. In fact, their prince was just a bit fierce. He did not kill many people usually. Those who were killed were all because they truly deserved to die!

“Our prince and princess are very much in love. Don’t you dare curse my princess. What do you mean by ‘die’? I think you’re the ones who want to die! Be careful, or we’ll report to the prince and you won’t see the sun tomorrow!” A servant from the prince’s mansion kicked another servant from the mansion who was talking too much to the ground.

They are from the Prince's mansion. The Prince said that as long as they are in the right, no one can bully them.

"You, you, you! This is outrageous! Help! The servants of the Prince of Annam's residence are beating people!"

……

Chi Yining frowned as he looked at the group of people kneeling in neat rows.

How often did people in ancient times bathe? There's a sour, foul smell.

"Since the affairs of the inner court are now under my control, the servants in the inner court will also obey me. If my people are bullied, then of course they must be bullied back, regardless of right or wrong. As long as they do not commit any crimes, if anyone of the same class dares to provoke you, you should fight back with all your might."

The most seriously injured purchasing servant said pitifully, "Your Highness! They insulted you! So we fought back!"

Chi Yining was a little surprised. It turned out that the bloodshed was caused by him. How interesting.

"What did you say to me?"

"Your Highness, they say you won't live long and will be tortured to death by the Prince sooner or later!"

"Impressive, offending two people at once. Do you remember who that person is? Never mind, Fuqing, send someone to inform the owner of that household to come over."

Fuqing: "Yes."

less than 15 minutes

The people kneeling on the ground were replaced by another group.

They were injured even more badly than the people in their own royal palace.

Their faces were bruised and swollen, or even unrecognizable.

Chi Yining held back her laughter.

The wife of a first-rank official who arrives late is also called a first-rank wife.

But no matter how high her status, it was still not as high as that of a princess of Annam.

Dressed in a simple, elegant white, high-quality outfit, Madam Wang knelt before Chi Yining and kowtowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness. May Your Highness be blessed with good health and happiness."

Although the maidservant beside him was very unwilling, she still knelt down and kowtowed.

Chi Yining: "No need for formalities, please have a seat."

Lady Wang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing these words. It was rumored that the princess was as cold and unapproachable as the prince, but she didn't know if it was true or not.

Now, the people in your household have caused such a mess.

The servant who uttered those words could die at the Queen's command; even being beaten to death with sticks would not quell her rage.

After Lady Wang sat down, she dared not look directly at the male princess.

"I invited Madam Wang here today, and she should already know the details. I won't say more. Madam Wang, how do you intend to deal with the servant who spoke recklessly, was arrogant, and disrespectful to his superiors?"

The princess's tone was extremely cold and devoid of warmth, causing Lady Wang's heart to tremble and her hand to nervously clench her handkerchief.

As a woman who manages the entire royal family compound, she now feels so much less imposing in the face of a new princess. The princess is now giving her a difficult problem, and she doesn't know how to please her.

After all, they didn't know the princess's personality. The princess used to be just an ordinary concubine's son from the prime minister's family, with little presence. She was even often ridiculed by the sons of noble families.

Now that she has become the Princess of Annam, she has started to act without any rhyme or reason.

She really couldn't figure out what the princess was thinking.

However, judging from the princess's attire today, every detail exudes nobility. She wears a black robe and carries a string of purple-gold and jade phoenix beads worth a fortune.

It is said that this was a reward from the emperor to the prince after he won a battle a few years ago. This jade pendant is also of superior quality. No, this is a top-grade Hetian jade pendant! You can tell at a glance that its texture is delicate and warm. It is not only as dense as felt, but also hard and tough.

Lady Wang was truly at a loss for words. It seemed the Princess Consort must have a fondness for money, otherwise she wouldn't have treated the Chi family's residence that way.

She cleared her throat and smiled respectfully and elegantly: "Your Highness, after such an incident, the Royal Family would feel uneasy if we could not make amends to Your Highness. I humbly request Your Highness to give us a chance, and the Royal Family may make amends in another way."

"I know that even if I kill that servant who insulted you, it will probably not be enough to quell my hatred..."

Upon hearing this, Chi Yining lifted his eyelids and re-examined Madam Wang.

Mrs. Wang is a woman in her early thirties who is very well-maintained. Although she is only in her thirties, her son is almost 20 years old.

"Alright, what do you plan to do? The Prince of Annan's mansion is not short of money. If you are not sincere, then don't come to talk to me. My time is limited, and I have to go back to take care of the prince."

Hearing the princess's tone, Madam Wang's heart clenched again. The princess's meaning was clear: if the amount given was not enough, the Wang family might suffer.

Furthermore, from the princess's tone, it's clear that the princess and the prince are indeed as loving as the rumors suggest.

They thought it was a joke, but it turned out to be true.

Proving this is also very simple.

Uncle Fu, who serves the princess, is the most authoritative steward in the palace. Although he appears amiable, he is actually more ruthless than the officials in the imperial court.

Fuqing standing next to the princess clearly indicates that the prince is supporting her.

Madam Wang felt cold sweat dripping from her forehead into her eyes.

"Your Highness, may I return and discuss this with my husband before sending it over?"

Chi Yining smiled with a refined and elegant air, which made Madam Wang momentarily stunned.

The princess is indeed a rare beauty, a true gem. With such beauty, it's no wonder the prince indulges her.

He also adorned the princess with a string of beads bestowed by the emperor.

"Madam Wang, there's no need to be nervous. I am not an unreasonable person. Since the Wang family has not disciplined its servants properly, then go back and discipline them properly. As for the humiliation I suffered, it can be a big deal or a small deal, depending on how you handle it. Go back now."

……

Second day

Sure enough, the Prince's mansion gained three more chests of gold and two chests of silver notes.

When Chi Yining opened it, it almost blinded him.

"Your Highness, is being insulted really that valuable?" Chi Yining's lips curled into a wide smile, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.

Yan Lingyun now understood why the princess wanted him to wear valuable things...

In just a few days since they arrived at the Prince's residence, how many boxes of gold and silver jewelry have they brought back for him?

He's acting like a kept man, like a prince.

"Shouldn't the Princess share some with me?"

“Your Highness is right. They’re only doing this because of you. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so accommodating. Take all of this money to support your men.” Chi Yining was very generous. He wasn’t a miser; if he lost money, he could just steal it again. No, I mean, if he lost money, he could earn it back.

Yan Lingyun said without any politeness: "Fuqing, count them and send them to the military camp."

Although Chi Yining was very generous, Yan Lingyun really didn't leave him any at all!

Yan Lingyun felt relieved; she had finally gotten her revenge after enduring so much humiliation for the past few days.

"Anyway, I still have plenty. If you ever need money in the future, just tell me." Dad will rob the rich to help the poor to support you. All he has to do is lose a few more points of corruption.

Yan Lingyun owns numerous banks, estates, shops, and many other profitable businesses.

After all, he was the son of the Duke of Zhenguo and the princess, and the wealth he left behind could be said to rival that of a country.

However, maintaining an army is very expensive, the national treasury is empty, and military pay is often not paid on time. It can only come from the Prince's mansion, which is not very wealthy these days, only ordinary.

Knowing he was in the wrong, the emperor never dared to mention taking back the military tally, so he could only hope for Yan Lingyun's death.

Yan Lingyun chuckled, "Does the Princess Consort want me to live off her?"

Chi Yining nodded: "Well, it's not impossible, Father... I have the ability to support Your Highness. Besides, I heard there have been major floods in the south recently... If you want, I can..."

The prince frowned: "These are not the princess's business. The princess should just be a sleeping beauty."

Chi Yining found it adorable that the prince was being a little temperamental.

Despite caring so much about the world, they always present the most frightening side to the public.

"Alright, I won't say anything." Chi Yining did want to rob the rich to help the poor, but such a large expenditure from the Prince's mansion would seem suspicious to anyone. Besides, taxes were levied and accounts were audited in ancient times.

Chi Yining sighed softly.

……

The next day, the court indeed discussed the disaster situation in the south and decided who would be more suitable to go. However, the south is hot and humid, while the capital is in the north, and no one wanted to take on such dirty and tiring work.

Yan Lingyun's cold gaze swept over this group of incompetent and cowardly people.

He sneered and coldly questioned the officials present: "It seems that you are all well-versed in the classics but ignorant of the suffering of the people. You keep talking about caring about the common people, but now that the people need you, you remain silent. Have you been wearing your official hats for too long and lost your sight, or is there something else?"

Even the emperor on the dragon throne felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this.

It was as if he was also among those in official positions, and it seemed as if he had been dragged into the scorn by his nephew's insults.

He cleared his throat: "Since the ministers are unwilling, then..."

Yan Lingyun interrupted him ruthlessly: "Alright, donate. Half of the family's wealth has already been counted by someone. You don't need to worry about your safety. I believe everyone will think safety comes first, and I agree."

The King of Annam caught everyone off guard. The ministers present gasped in shock. What difference did it make whether there was a regent or not? This was practically Annam's domain!

Who would dare to intervene? Who would dare to speak up? Who would dare to object? The first person to do so would be dragged out and beheaded!

They watched in despair as the King of Annam revealed a terrifying smile.

"As for His Majesty, His Majesty can decide for himself." Yan Lingyun believed that he had already given his uncle, the Emperor, enough face.

……

Chi Yining heard about it at home and had to admit that Yan Lingyun was truly remarkable, accurately handling this group of selfish and self-serving ministers. At the same time, he was also worried that half of the Prince's residence would be divided up.

Fuqing comforted him, "Your Highness, you don't need to worry about not being able to afford food. Our Annan Prince's Mansion will not contribute money, but will provide manpower."

Chi Yining was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Haha, this works?"

Fuqing: "Of course, the prince said that it takes a thousand days to raise an army for one day to use it. The troops have been resting since the Battle of Kuizhi and haven't been active for a long time."

A small contingent will be sent.

Chi Yining nodded: "Yes, I know. Some of them are guarding the capital, some are on the border, and some are by the Prince's side."

Fuqing: "..." The princess is very clever.

……

The emperor returned to his Imperial Household Department and looked pitifully at his private treasury, which was now half empty. He was heartbroken!

The concubines in the harem felt like the sky was falling; when they woke up, half of their money had vanished!

Isn't it said that every citizen has a responsibility for the rise and fall of the nation? What does it have to do with them, mere women?

But they could only remain silent. If they dared to cause trouble, the Emperor would surely find out and punish them, which they dared not do.

The Empress was the one who was most heartbroken, watching helplessly as her life savings dwindled.

The King of Annam was a devil!

……

Chi Yining didn't sleep very well during her afternoon nap today because Yan Lingyun hadn't returned yet.

"This emperor is really something, making a disabled person worry so much, especially since it's drizzling today."

"Host, if you're worried, you can buy rheumatism ointment in the shop to treat the prince's rheumatic leg pain!" 8845 finally found a place where the princess could spend money.

Chi Yining immediately became interested upon hearing this, "Ah, I almost forgot about the online store."

"Let me think... how can we use these things properly after we buy them? We can't just create these things out of thin air, can we? The prince is so smart, it's no wonder he's suspicious... Are they even useful?"

System: "System-produced items must be of high quality and require 1000 gold coins."

Chi Yining wasn't in a hurry. He had originally thought that if Yan Lingyun wasn't good to him, then he wouldn't help him with the treatment.

It seems that the prince is quite obedient to him now, and has not said a single unpleasant word. His behavior is not bad.

Recalling the orders the prince issued in court today, Chi Yining couldn't help but laugh again. "I was thinking of going to find some corrupt officials to rob the rich and help the poor, but the prince directly sent people to my door, which is no different from robbing me. I underestimated the prince. He really is a prince who doesn't like to live off women."

Yan Lingyun didn't return until evening, and Chi Yining stood guard at the door with a chair.

"My lord is back." Chi Yining went up to greet the lord as soon as he saw him. The lord's carriage was different; it even had a long plank that could be pulled out of the carriage.

Yan Lingyun: "Okay, let's go back."

After a busy day, Yan Lingyun realized for the first time that not taking a nap could lead to poor mental health; he was truly being affected by his princess.

"Let me do it,"

Ah Wei let go of her hand, and the princess naturally took the wheelchair from her.

"Your Highness, are you hungry? I've ordered the kitchen to prepare your favorite pickled fish, boiled beef, and braised lion's head meatballs..."

Fuqing held an umbrella for the two people behind them.

The serene and peaceful atmosphere of the Prince's Mansion made the surrounding areas appear gloomy and desolate.

Prime Minister Chi stared at his empty vault, feeling a tightness in his chest. How could he have married such a son-in-law! Other families' sons-in-law would bring gifts to their wives' homes, but his son-in-law came over every few days to take things away! Now look what happened! Half of it was gone! What a tragedy!

Madam Chi was crying and sobbing beside him, and Prime Minister Chi felt as if he had aged ten years in an instant!
