Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 182

Chapter 182: Chapter 176: Good Cop, Bad Cop

Shen Tang inwardly cursed that old Emperor for being truly cunning, but outwardly remained unfazed, "Thank you, Father, for your concern. However, constructing a residence would be a waste of resources, so it’s unnecessary."

She glanced around the room, her gaze landing on Shen Qingli not far away, curling her lips into a subtle smile,

"Besides, I am accustomed to only living in the former Princess Mansion."

With these words, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became somewhat delicate.

The Emperor and Empress’s facial expressions stiffened, showing a trace of awkwardness.

Who in the Empire doesn’t know, that year Shen Tang was just exiled, leaving the Princess Mansion, and the new princess soon moved in, treating her belongings like garbage.

This matter was widely circulated at the time, and many Beastmen mocked her behind her back.

— a defeated dog driven out by the Royal Family.

Shen Qingli’s face turned ugly, this wench brought up this matter in front of so many media, as if she was the intruder who occupied the nest.

Shen Tang seemed oblivious to the grim expressions of the whole family, raised her lips in a light laugh, and casually spoke again, "But since my sister has settled in, and lived there for so long, she has feelings for it, so let her have the Princess Mansion."

Shen Qingli’s beautiful eyes blazed with anger, nearly shattering her silver teeth with rage. What do you mean by ’let’? How dare this wench utter such words? Everything belonged to her in the first place!

"Don’t talk nonsense, that Princess Mansion wasn’t yours to begin with..."

Shen Qingli couldn’t help but speak, but was sternly reprimanded by the Emperor, "Enough, you should say less too, your sister has already stated it, you should calm down."

The Emperor didn’t want that embarrassing event from the past to stir up a commotion again, otherwise, it would be a disgrace for them.

Shen Qingli had to swallow her words, feeling increasingly agitated and angry.

The Empress regained her composure and looked at Shen Tang kindly, "Yet you are now a Princess, you can’t just keep running to those mountain valleys, you need to stay in the Imperial City and not let outsiders gossip."

Stay in the Imperial City for what?

So they can have the opportunity to act anytime?

Shen Tang sneered inwardly, did they really think she was stupid.

She maintained obedient brows and eyes, "Thank you, Father and Mother, for your love, your daughter is not that ambitious, having a place to live is good enough."

The Emperor and Empress relaxed their expressions upon hearing this, feeling pleased, this adopted daughter is truly unambitious, as long as she’s willing to remain a non-threat, they wouldn’t mind spending a little money to raise a titular princess, just like keeping an extra pet at home.

Shen Qingli also showed disdain, this useless person is indeed unworthy of staying in the Imperial City, something like that rundown, impoverished valley is the only thing suitable for her.

Shen Li held the wine glass in his hand, smiling as he spoke, "Indeed, Xiao Tang just wants to live well with us, without any grand ambitions, perhaps Father and Mother might as well directly grant her that unwanted impoverished valley, it’d be more convenient for us to live there."

The City Lord of Greenfield City expressed allegiance to Shen Tang, but it was only a mutual decision between them, without official recognition.

After all, the Empire remains under the reign of the Emperor and Empress.

It requires the Emperor and Empress’s personal approval for Greenfield City to officially become Shen Tang’s territory.

The Emperor’s expression changed upon hearing this; they actually came with the intention of asking for land!

Sending Shen Tang to live in the valley compared to directly granting land are two entirely different things!
