The Vicious Supporting Actress Survival Manual

Chapter 8 Vicious Supporting Actress Survival Strategy(08)

For several days, I focused on the accounts of various dowry shops. After some investigation, I suddenly realized that Estella Rose is quite wealthy. Even if I leave Lord Jin's mansion in the future, my livelihood should not be a problem.

So what I need to do now is to transfer the profits of these shops from the surface to the underground. Lord Jin's family is so wealthy that they do not care about my small amount of money, so it is not particularly difficult to handle.

Every month, I dress up in disguise and go to the bank to deposit money. It's my greatest pleasure.

To prevent my identity from being exposed, I even dressed up as a man and invented a title of "Mingyue Gongzi" (Mr. Bright Moon) at the bank. Watching the money under the name of Mingyue Gongzi increase month by month, I can't even describe how happy I am.

After a month of doing this easily, I was having breakfast in my room one day when Felix Austin came in with Lisa Stein.

During this time, Lisa Stein was probably busy arranging for her exiled family, so we didn't see each other. Now that her family's problem is settled, she's come to me to act out her tragic love story again.

Sure enough, Felix Austin sat beside me and deliberately held my hand, saying, "Lord Jin's mansion never keeps idle people. Estella, I've brought a maid for you."

Lisa Stein visibly paled when she saw Felix Austin holding my hand.

What is this? A house full of people, and it looks like we're missing a maid?

What kind of karma have I brought upon myself? As a single dog, I have to watch you guys flaunt your love in front of me.

Furthermore, I saw Lisa Stein, with her eyes turning red, telling Felix Austin, "If you find me unpleasant to look at, you could just let me go. Why do you have to insult me like this?"

Felix Austin withdrew his hand from mine and retorted, "The Lord Jin's mansion is not a place for anyone to come and go as they please."

I can't see my own expression, but I feel like I must terrible. It's just unbearable to watch.

If this were the real Estella Rose, wouldn't she have gone crazy with anger? Even as an outsider, I can't bear to watch anymore.

Seeing that they were about to continue their show, I hurriedly spoke up, "There's no shortage of maids in my courtyard. Last time I went to the Lord's study, it seemed quite deserted. Why don't we let Lisa Stein go over there to serve instead?"

So both of you, get as far away from me as possible, don't make me feel sick watching you.

When the two of them heard my suggestion, they stopped arguing and left in agreement. One felt like they had kept the other, and the other felt like they hadn't lost too much face.

Meanwhile, the maids in my room, including Nina, were practically trying to pry open my head or slap some advice into me.

"How can the princess be so confused? Lisa Stein is obviously plotting against Lord Jin. Even I, an old woman, can't bear to watch."

"That's right, why doesn't the princess obey Lord Jin and bring her over as a maid? Let us discipline her properly."

"Princess..."

I didn't listen, I didn't listen. I remained calm and inscrutable in the face of their admonitions and threats, until they were hoarse and gave up.

Two more months passed like this, with me saving money every day and watching the sweety scene.

Maybe women in love have zero IQ, because without my interference, the relationship between the male and female leads has been heating up. Lisa Stein also didn't have any intentions to bring down the Rose family, and for the time being, I had no life-threatening crisis.

Hopefully they will remember my kindness in the future, after all, I have given them so many opportunities.

My biggest problem now is just to resolve the misunderstanding from childhood and fully support them. In order to reduce Felix Austin's anger when he learns the truth, all I can do now is to leave a good impression on him.

Recalling the plot of the novel, I suddenly had an idea. I calculated the time and realized that it would be the time of that event in just over three months. I could make good use of it to resolve the issues between me and Felix Austin.

So, just over three months later, I won't have to pretend to be a virtuous wife and mother every day at Lord Jin's mansion.

However, I didn't have a few happy days before I heard some bad news.

"Princess, the eldest prince has caused trouble at a restaurant," Momma Williams hurriedly came in and told me.

The eldest prince? That chubby guy?

"What happened?" I asked, frowning.

"Just now, news came from the Rose family that the eldest prince had a dispute with a woman in the restaurant. The princess is requested to go and take a look," she said.

My frown deepened. Why did they have to come to me? "Why did the servants come to Lord Jin's mansion? Where is father and mother?"

Momma Williams looked uneasy as she spoke, "The prime minister and his wife took a leave of absence and went back to their clan yesterday. They won't be able to come for a while, so the servants had to come and find the princess."

I suddenly felt short of breath. Of course, no one was there to control him, so he became unruly again. Just when I had relaxed for a few days, my spendthrift brother had caused me trouble again.

While I was trying to maintain a positive image to stay alive, he was ruining my reputation. But if he keeps causing trouble, the Rose family will be the one losing face - after all, we share the same surname.

"Prepare the carriage, we're leaving the mansion," I instructed Nina in a low voice.

When we arrived, I got out of the carriage and saw a crowd of onlookers outside the restaurant. It seemed that the situation had already escalated.

On the way there, the servant who brought the news told me the general situation. That lecherous Philip Rose was eating at the restaurant and took a liking to a girl playing the pipa. The girl was stubborn and refused him, so some passersby who were martial artists intervened and saved her. As a result, the spendthrift Philip Rose refused to let it go and acted arrogantly, and the two sides were deadlocked.

Someone with sharp eyesight saw me and silently made way for me.

As soon as I entered the restaurant, I saw Philip Rose hiding behind his servants, still cursing and shouting at others. Across from him were two ordinary-looking but obviously martial artist types, and a beautiful woman holding a pipa was hiding behind them.

"Have you had enough trouble, brother?" I didn't hesitate and sternly rebuked him as soon as I entered the restaurant.

Philip Rose's eyes lit up when he saw me, and he ran over to me, grabbing my arm and saying excitedly, "Sister, are you here to help me? These two lowlifes don't know their place. They even tried to attack me just now. Sister, please help me teach them a lesson."

This guy... really has a problem with his brain. I glared at him in anger, but he still thought I was here to help him.

Just as I was about to scold him, I suddenly heard one of the two men, a man in gray, speak up. "The Rose family is really overbearing. Ralph Rose's status is not enough, so they have to bring in Lord Jin from the Jin Mansion. Do the Roses want to rule the city with an iron fist?"

The man in gray's eyes gleamed. I furrowed my eyebrows. This was a serious accusation.

"Where did you see that I was here to help him?" I asked.

The man in gray sneered and replied, "The eldest son of the Rose family kept calling you 'sister'. We all heard it loud and clear. Lord Jin is such an outstanding talent, but he mistook a fish for a pearl and fell for the dirty tricks of a woman... "

Why does this man have such animosity towards me? I only said a few words since I arrived, but he seems to be targeting me with every sentence. "Do you have any misunderstandings about me, sir?" I asked.

"There's no misunderstanding. I've always been clear about my likes and dislikes. It's a pity that such a talented person as Lord Jin fell for the tricks of a woman and tarnished his reputation, even falling for her dirty tricks..."

Hm? This person seems like a martial artist based on their clothing, but why do they seem to understand so clearly why I married Felix Austin? It's like they're pointing at me and accusing me of shamelessly throwing myself at him.

Before I could figure out the reason, I suddenly saw someone rush towards the man in gray and punch him hard.

The man in gray was startled, and immediately kicked the person far away and then went to land two more punches on him, still muttering: "Where did this slave come from? Going crazy trying to take credit? With so many guards around Lady Jin, who would let a tavern worker like you take the lead?"

As the situation became increasingly chaotic, I quickly ordered my men to pull the man in gray away. The person who was just beaten up appeared to be a servant at this restaurant.

"Someone, tie him up for me," I pointed to the man in gray.

The man in gray was furious and shouted, "Why are you arresting me?"

"Just because you spoke disrespectfully and slandered the royal family."

"I didn't..."

Before he could finish, I pointed to Philip Rose and said, "Tie him up too and take them both to the magistrate's office."

The atmosphere in the restaurant stagnated. If this continued, it would become a joke, so I needed to make a decisive move.
