PDLP Chapter 7: Me, the only poor person?!
Chapter 7: Me, the only poor person?!
Helping Jiang Yueli punish her heartless younger brother actually unlocked the system shop!
She hasn't even fully activated her battle form yet!
However, items can be redeemed in the shop, but it requires money.
I definitely don't have any money right now.
With only the meager monthly allowance from the palace maids, it would take a long time to save up enough to eat a large braised pork knuckle.
Therefore, Zhou Wei was only happy for a short while before forgetting about the system store.
The immediate problem is dealing with that bastard Jiang Yuelin!
Seeing that Zhou Wei really had no intention of helping, Jiang Yuelin was furious, but he couldn't bring himself to ask Zhou Wei for help.
Seeing this, the eldest princess could only say, "Zhou Wei, please help Yue Lin. If it works out, I will promote you to a personal maid."
Upon hearing this, Ziyu, Jiang Yueli's personal maid who had grown up with her, looked at the princess with a pitiful expression, her eyes filled with tears.
She had been with the eldest princess since childhood; she was the princess's personal maid!
Wei only showed her face to the princess this week, and she's already being asked to be on equal footing with me?
Ziyu glared at Zhou Wei, but Zhou Wei snorted and raised her head.
Then, she asked Jiang Yueli in a fawning manner, "Princess, am I considered the number one personal maid?"
Even the Third Prince, who was still stuck in the jar, couldn't help but laugh at her for asking such a question.
"A scoundrel is a scoundrel. I've never seen anyone so eager to be a mole, and even have to be number one. You don't even have any hair on your body, yet you try to be a mole. I think you're more like a cow or a horse."
Zhou Wei ignored him.
You're just a simp.
He's still a number two simp!
Who is more noble than whom?
I'm bound to the [Maluo Promotion System], and everything I do is to reach the pinnacle of life.
So what if I'm a servant? Even a servant can be second only to the emperor!
Do you know who the most awesome person in our world is?
Speak out and scare you to death!
Jiang Yueli thought for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "Why put it so harshly? A personal maid... is like Ziyu, I suppose."
Ziyu opened her mouth wide, and the one who had been hanging there finally died.
They really are on equal footing now!
Zhou Wei was not satisfied and moved closer: "Your Highness, do I want to be the number one under Your Highness? Just being the same as Ziyu doesn't count as being number one! I've already found out that under Your Highness, Aunt Hongxiu is number one, and I'm at most number two."
Jiang Yueli's forehead veins throbbed; she couldn't understand why Zhou Wei was so fixated on this.
At this moment, the Third Prince could no longer wait.
She shouted loudly, "Royal sister! Let her do it if she wants to! She's just a palace maid, a lowly woman! The important thing now is to get me out of here."
Jiang Yueli had no choice but to say, "Alright, then you can..."
She initially wanted to say the same as Hongxiu, but after thinking about it, Zhou Wei wanted to be number one.
So he could only change his words and say, "Then you will be my head maid, ranked in front of Hongxiu."
Aunt Hongxiu stood to the side, feeling as if the sky was about to fall.
She was heartbroken and on the verge of tears.
No, how come you're ahead of me in line?
She was just a third-class palace maid a moment ago!
He only came out and kicked someone a few times, and now he's soaring to the sky?
If I had known, I could have become the princess's number one servant if I had just persisted in being a servant.
She rushed to go too!
But now, it's too late to say anything. Zhou Wei has become the highest-ranking servant in the entire princess's mansion.
Zhou Wei was satisfied; that's more like it!
[Maluo Promotion System] It really lived up to its name; you can get promoted just by fighting!
Even a nobody should have ambition; if you're going to do something, do it the best.
Don't be like that scoundrel Jiang Yuelin, who tried to lick the boots of the divine doctor's legitimate daughter Shen Shuqing but couldn't even get a chance.
“Alright, since the Princess has promoted me to head maid, I will rescue the Third Prince on her behalf.”
Zhou Wei walked up to the Third Prince and gave him a smirk, which terrified Jiang Yuelin.
"what are you up to?"
"Third Prince, don't be afraid! This servant is about to rescue you, but I must say this first: after I rescue you, you must not repay kindness with enmity, and you must also recognize me as your godfather..."
Ugh, ptooey!
I'm used to saying it this way, so it just slipped out without thinking.
"No, it's because they consider me their benefactor! They must treat me with respect when they see me, otherwise I will not save them."
Jiang Yuelin was furious. She was just a bitch, yet she dared to ask him to recognize her as her godfather…
Ugh, ptooey!
I almost got led astray by that jerk.
To acknowledge her as a benefactor?
Who gave her the audacity!
When I get out, even if I can't do anything to her today, I'll find a chance to chop her up and feed her to the dogs later.
"Alright, I agree! I will acknowledge you as my benefactor and treat you with courtesy from now on."
How could Zhou Wei not know what Jiang Yuelin was thinking?
As a wicked and vicious scoundrel in the original storyline, she naturally wouldn't believe Jiang Yuelin's words.
I said all this so that the eldest princess could bear witness and so that everyone present could hear it.
Zhou Wei, as an actress, is quite capable!
See, the Third Prince has already given in!
"Ah, very good!"
Zhou Wei searched the Third Prince's body and pulled out several large silver notes, her eyes immediately lighting up.
"As your benefactor, I will accept the Third Prince's gift of gratitude."
Jiang Yuelin's eyes were bloodshot as he watched Zhou Wei take away the 30,000 taels of silver notes!
This is half of his entire fortune!
As a prince, he was not wealthy.
The princes were not allowed to engage in commerce and could only be supported by the royal family and the people.
He was still a prince without a fiefdom, so naturally he had no extra income and could only rely on Consort Li's support and the palace's monthly allowance to make a living.
He had managed to coax 30,000 taels of silver from Consort Li with great difficulty, all for the purpose of buying a birthday gift for Shen Shuqing.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Wei took them all!
"How dare you! Give me back the silver notes!" Jiang Yuelin shouted.
Zhou Wei remained unmoved: "Princess, my leg is covered in blood, and I still had to go through all that trouble to get the Third Prince out. In the end, it was all because of him, so it's only right that he gives me some thanks."
Jiang Yueli was the wealthiest of the children of the Great Zhou royal family, so she looked down on the 30,000 taels.
She assumed that Consort Li favored Jiang Yuelin, and that Jiang Yuelin was not short of money.
Therefore, I didn't take the money to heart.
He simply nodded and said, "You're right. It's just a mere thirty thousand taels of silver. Take it!"
puff---
Jiang Yuelin was so angry he vomited blood!
This startled the guards and palace maids.
"Oh dear, the Third Prince is vomiting blood. Could it be that he has septicemia?"
"Nonsense, sepsis doesn't develop that quickly."
"Then why are you vomiting blood? Is it because you're consumed by anger?"
"It can't be for a small sum of thirty thousand taels, can it?"
Small change?!
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuelin almost vomited blood again, but he managed to hold it in.
He glared at all the palace servants in the princess's residence.
Who the hell is the prince?
When did 30,000 taels become considered small change?
Just how wealthy is the Princess's residence that these servants are so arrogant?
Seeing that everyone seemed to disregard the 30,000 taels of silver, Jiang Yuelin, feeling proud, could only swallow his anger.
Feigning magnanimity, he said, "Alright, consider this money a gift from me!"
Zhou Wei was overjoyed upon hearing this: "Thank you for your generosity, Your Highness. Let me see if you have any other gifts to give."
After saying that, he disregarded Jiang Yuelin's nearly broken lumbar spine and started robbing him.
Jade pendants, gold hair ornaments, jade hairpins...
Excuse!
This bastard has quite a few good things on him!
Except for items bearing the royal mark, which she couldn't take, Zhou Wei put everything else into her purse.
A very fruitful harvest! A very fruitful harvest indeed!
If you exchange all of this for cash, you should be able to redeem some good items in the system shop.
Just thinking about it makes me happy!
