The Vicious Female Supporting Character Just Wants to Cuddle with the Heroine - Chapter 14

“Fine! Shen Qingzhi, in that case, don’t you ever appear in front of us again!”

Zhang Ruyu knew she couldn’t do anything to Shen Qingzhi, at least not openly, so for now, she could only temporarily make Shen Qingzhi leave.

If it were before, Shen Qingzhi might have bothered to argue with them more, but ever since she met Ning Xin, her mindset had changed a lot. She no longer wanted to waste her time on such meaningless things.

Shen Huizhi looked at Shen Qingzhi’s retreating back, her eyes filled with hatred. “Mom, we absolutely can’t let her get away with this! I’m not giving up!”

“Of course we won’t just let her go. But if something happens to her now, it will affect your future. Don’t you worry, I’ll deal with her eventually and make sure you don’t suffer this injustice for nothing.”

“Okay.”

Shen Huizhi cried unhappily in Zhang Ruyu’s arms. She didn’t succeed this time, but next time she would definitely succeed in making Tan Yaoyang marry her!

At this moment, Ning Xin was having Li Niang make clothes for her. She had bought a lot of fabric on her last trip out. It was a bit difficult for her to make them herself, and Li Niang’s sewing skills were excellent, so she could make them for her.

“Miss, this fabric is so beautiful. When the clothes are finished, you’ll look especially stunning in them.”

“When has your miss ever not been beautiful? Just make the clothes, and make sure they’re exactly as I asked. The rest of the fabric is for you. Don’t you have a little daughter? The rest is my gift to her.”

“That’s wonderful! Thank you, Miss!”

Although Li Niang was now earning some money by working for Ning Xin, she still couldn’t bring herself to buy such beautiful fabric. Her miss was just so generous. It was so good to have such a master.

Ning Xin waved her hand, telling Li Niang to get started. She herself checked the accounts. She went through them every day to prevent them from piling up and becoming difficult to audit later.

After confirming there were no issues, Ning Xin lay down in her rocking chair and zoned out.

After arriving here, she was initially scared, worried that she would be inexplicably married off. Later, she was anxious to find a powerful backer and a way to survive. Now, she had left that family, made money, and made a friend.

Ning Xin had always been grateful to Shen Qingzhi. Without her, she wouldn’t have everything she had now. However, she was a little too dependent on Shen Qingzhi. Although she could live a good life by staying with the female lead—and even continue to do so—it didn’t feel meaningful.

In the novel, Shen Qingzhi’s fate was full of hardships. As someone who knew the future, she couldn’t just stand by and let those horrible things happen to Shen Qingzhi without doing anything.

Cotton was the first gift she gave to Shen Qingzhi. What should the second one be? Ning Xin followed this line of thought for several days and finally came up with an idea: grain.

The Tian Sheng Kingdom was currently fraught with danger. All the feudal lords were eyeing the throne, and the royal family’s children only cared about fighting for power. War could break out at any time. The female lead had a storyline of joining the army in her father’s place, which was full of difficulties. If she could ensure Shen Qingzhi had no worries after enlisting, their relationship would become even more unbreakable.

She needed grain now, which meant she needed a lot more money. How could she rely on just these two businesses? She also couldn’t rely on Shen Qingzhi for everything. She needed to become independent. Women whose thoughts were constrained by the times might feel restricted, but she was different. She shouldn’t be constrained by this era or be too cautious.

After coming to this realization, Ning Xin decided to go out and do business herself. She couldn’t go to the imperial city, and nearby cities were also inconvenient, but a little farther away would be fine. For a regular businesswoman, the worst that could happen was a bad reputation, which didn’t matter to her at all.

However, she still had to discuss this decision with Shen Qingzhi. Ning Xin didn’t want any misunderstandings between them.

Two days later, Shen Qingzhi came back with the money. Actually, she could have come two days earlier, but she had been adjusting herself. She was afraid she couldn’t control her feelings and that Ning Xin would notice something.

When Ning Xin saw Shen Qingzhi, she was as affectionate as ever. “Sister Shen, you’re finally here. Why did it take so long this time? I missed you.”

Despite all the mental preparation Shen Qingzhi had done at home, Ning Xin’s simple words instantly shattered it all. “I’ve been a bit busy lately, so I was a bit late. How have you been?”

“I’ve been great, eating well and feeling strong.”

Ning Xin finished her sentence by patting her chest to show that she was telling the truth.

Shen Qingzhi was amused by Ning Xin. Sure enough, no matter what annoying things she encountered at home, they all vanished as soon as she was in front of Ning Xin. “Alright, stop clowning around. Come and sit with me for a while. I’m so tired.”

“Tired? Then let me give you a massage.”

Thinking of the annoying things Shen Qingzhi had to face back home, Ning Xin also felt a headache. So she simply had Shen Qingzhi lie on her rocking chair and massaged her head and shoulders.

Shen Qingzhi felt comfortable, both in her body and her heart.

“Sister Shen, there’s something I want to tell you.”

“What is it?”

“I’ve decided to go out. I want to expand the business and earn a lot, a lot of money. What do you think?”

“I don’t think it’s a good idea. What do you need so much money for? How much can one person spend? Do you know how many rumors and gossips a girl doing business alone will have to face? And the road isn’t safe. I don’t feel at ease with you going alone.”

Shen Qingzhi finished speaking, grabbed Ning Xin’s hand, and looked at her directly.

Ning Xin had already made up her mind, so she wasn’t afraid of Shen Qingzhi’s scrutiny. “Sister Shen, I know that going out to do business will be full of dangers and difficulties, but I’ve already decided. This is something I must do.”

“Why? Isn’t the way things are now good enough?”

Shen Qingzhi didn’t understand. Ning Xin hadn’t had this idea before. Her goal was even to just muddle through life. Why had her mind changed in just a few days? It was too strange.

“The way things are now is great, of course. I could even muddle through life under your protection forever and be a complete and utter wealthy idler. But Sister, a life that you can see the end of in one glance is a little meaningless.”

“But you can’t put yourself in danger.”

Ning Xin knew that Shen Qingzhi wouldn’t agree easily, so she could only patiently explain, “Sister, I won’t put myself in danger. I will absolutely stay away from dangerous things and protect myself. You don’t have to worry too much about me.”

“How can I not worry? In short, I don’t agree. You should think about it carefully again, and we’ll talk about this the next time I come.”

“Oh, okay then.”

Ning Xin didn’t continue the conversation with Shen Qingzhi. She had already made up her mind. This was just a notification, not a discussion. Whether Shen Qingzhi agreed or not, she was definitely going to do it. If it didn’t work out, she would just come back. She wouldn’t force herself too much.
