Today, The Villain Couple is Settling Scores Again

Summer nights were hot and dry.

At the bridgehead of Linxian Bridge, Jian Huan sat on the side, earnestly nibbling on a pancake.

The pancake was very hard, and she gnawed it with a fierce expression, sweating profusely.

Around her, there were many common people sitting and fanning themselves, and the sound of casual conversations floated on the wind.

“I say, running an inn business is the most profitable. This month, Old Yang’s inn has been fully booked, and he has made a lot of money!”

“Yeah, I was thinking during the day whether I should let my two kids move out and share a room with me, then rent out the empty room. Can earn a good sum.”

“Well, you better hurry. The apprentice recruitment conference will be over in ten days, and there won’t be as many people staying in inns by then…”

Upon hearing this, Jian Huan suddenly stopped chewing.

She thought for a moment, carefully put away the uneaten pancake, and very carefully placed it in her bag.

After wiping her mouth again, Jian Huan moved from one side of the bridge to the other, sitting next to the aunt who was talking earlier, and cautiously poked her with a finger.

The aunt turned her head, puzzled.

Jian Huan smiled, showing two rows of small white teeth. “Auntie, did you say you want to rent out a room?”

The old lady calmly looked Jian Huan up and down.

This young girl seemed to have traveled a long way, travel-worn and covered in dust, presumably also here for the apprentice recruitment conference.

And she didn’t seem to have much money. Her clothes were patched up, showing signs of wear and tear, looking quite shabby.

The aunt’s family was not rich either, and the rooms were small and dilapidated. Her target audience was poor people who couldn’t afford to stay in inns.

So, what a coincidence! Just when she had this thought, a customer directly came knocking on her door!

The old lady replied with an enthusiastic smile, “Yes, yes. But my two kids are currently staying in that room. It might not be possible for them to move out tonight…”

Jian Huan took the aunt’s hand quite familiarly. “No problem, Auntie. To be honest, I only have eight wen.”

The old lady’s smile froze. “…”

During the apprentice recruitment conference of Yuqing Sect, the prices in the city’s inns skyrocketed, with rooms costing several liang for a night.

T/N: Liang is silver.

Her room may not compare to an inn, but wouldn’t a hundred wen per night be reasonable?

Eight wen? Was she dismissing a beggar?

T/N: Wen is copper.

Just as the aunt was about to refuse, Jian Huan added with a smiling face, “With eight wen, can I stay in your firewood shed? Do you think it’s okay?”

The old lady paused, her eyes the size of beans spun around, retracting her initial refusal that was about to come out of her mouth. “Sure, sure.”

The firewood shed was empty anyway, and eight wen was still money.

The old lady bid farewell to her companions and happily took Jian Huan home.

In the firewood shed, Jian Huan and the owner’s family cleared a space together.

She pulled out a blanket from her bulging bag and spread it on the ground, using the bag as a pillow, and went to sleep like that.

As the night grew deeper and the heat subsided, the leaky firewood shed became quite cool.

Jian Huan touched the marriage contract and the matching token hidden in her arms, and she started envisioning the prosperous days after receiving the divorce money tomorrow.

Just thinking about it made tears well up.

It was so difficult.

This month was so miserable. This month felt like a year, and she was finally going to get through it!

To this day, Jian Huan still resented what happened to her.

Why was it that when others transmigrated, they never have to worry about food and drink, but when she transmigrated, she was so unbelievably poor that even the ghosts and gods would be moved to tears?

A month ago, Jian Huan, who had just bought a house in full payment, happily drank a glass of wine before bed. When she woke up, she inexplicably became the malicious supporting character, Jian Huan, from the book “Junior Sister Jiang Qiaoqiao.”

“Junior Sister Jiang Qiaoqiao” was a sadomasochistic novel set in the world of immortals.

The female lead, Jiang Qiaoqiao, recognized Shen Jizhi, who had saved her in her childhood, as soon as she joined the Yuqing Sect.

Since then, Jiang Qiaoqiao has been faithfully by Shen Jizhi’s side, working hard to warm his heart. However, just when she was about to succeed, an unexpected fiancée, Jian Huan, appeared.

Jian Huan’s grandfather had saved Shen Jizhi and his family when they were young, and the two elders hit it off instantly. They arranged an engagement for the two children, wrote a marriage contract, and exchanged matching tokens.

However, not long after Shen’s family left Jian’s home, they lost contact.

As the cannon fodder supporting character, Jian Huan grew increasingly worse and vain over time. She joined the demon clan after her grandfather’s death led to her family’s decline.

After three years of cultivation in the demon clan, due to her exceptional viciousness, she was sent to infiltrate the Yuqing Sect to become their undercover agent.

Upon entering the Yuqing Sect, Jian Huan recognized Shen Jizhi as her fiancé through the matching token.

Because of the debt Shen Jizhi owed to Jian Huan’s grandfather for saving his life, he didn’t forcefully break off the engagement. Instead, he tried to peacefully dissolve the engagement by offering money or other means.

However, the original host refused to annul the engagement to death. She caused trouble between Shen Jizhi and the female lead, making the female lead sad and Shen Jizhi disgusted, which left the readers frustrated.

In the end, the disappointed female lead sought solace in the arms of the gentle second male lead.

Shen Jizhi had finally come into a realization, but it was already too late. Havung turned into a demon due to corruption, he caused disturbance in the cultivation world, unable to find peace. In the end, he died from the encirclement and suppression by the righteous cultivators.

In this regard, Jian Huan, who transmigrated into the book, expressed her willingness to peacefully dissolve the engagement as long as Shen Jizhi gave her money.

In the book, it was mentioned that Shen Jizhi had offered the original host a condition of one hundred thousand spirit stones.

One hundred thousand spirit stones…

Jian Huan, who lay in the firewood shed, muttered silently in her heart and couldn’t help but giggle.
