Guide to tame my villainous husbands novel Chapter 1333

Fu Beichou pursed her lips when she saw the reactions of the officials. Though she was quite clear about their refusal to accept Mo Qiang, Fu Beichou still couldn't help but feel that these people were blind to their own faults and flaws.

So what if Mo Qiang was the daughter of a woman who was once exiled? So what if she was no longer a member of the noble society anymore? She had done what they could never do for years; even with all their wits and resources connected, they couldn't raise the financial stability of this fief.

Now that they were watching Mo Qiang rise, they felt unstable and disconcerted. If they were half as useful as her, then she wouldn't have to use Mo Qiang in the first place. She pursed her lips and ignored the dissatisfaction among the officials.

If they felt upset, then they might as well think of ways to get better instead of blaming and targeting someone else who was better than them.

However—Fu Beichou sighed in annoyance. She dreaded facing the amount of complaints that she had to handle once this ceremony was over. This was why handing out fiefs and titles was so annoying; if Fu Zhao hadn't pushed her into handing one over, she would have absolutely refused to deal with this matter.

"Thank you for your kindness, your highness," Mo Qiang spoke politely. "But this humble woman would like to ask something else. If possible, I would like to ask for an added reward included in this one for the extra services that I have handed to this fief."

Though she didn't say anything, Fu Beichou understood that she was talking about the clues that she had provided about the child's exchange. She felt her brows twitch. Though she was already going to give Mo Qiang an additional reward, Fu Beichou knew that since Mo Qiang dared to ask, this matter must not be as simple as she thought.

"Imprudent!" someone among the officials stepped forward and looked at Mo Qiang with distaste. "A woman who lives in the Dead Star dares to ask for something greater than a fief? Have you forgotten your place?"

She then turned to look at Fu Beichou and reminded her, "Your Highness, you shouldn't listen to this greedy woman. She had provided us with great help, I will admit that but we have given her the rewards as per her help. How dare she ask for even more?"

"I say," Mo Qiang raised her head and looked at the official who was reminding her of her position. "You seemed to be the one who is forgetting my position. I am the one who pays the highest taxes in this dimension. Even your salary is paid through the taxes that I pay. How dare you remind me of your position? Do you want me to start reminding you of your positions? I bet you will not be able to hear it."

"As for living in Dead Star, I can leave at any time I want. Will you be able to withstand it?"

It wasn't that she was scared of leaving the dead star; she could do it if she wanted. After all, Mo Qiang had arranged everything there, but the reason she stayed on that star was because she knew that others wouldn't be able to withstand it if she was to move out of the Dead Star and start living in the Imperial Star.

In the eyes of these officials, she was just a small beggar. An ant whom they could squish if they wanted but if that ant was to suddenly turn into a giga ant that they couldn't kill no matter how much they wanted, they were bound to feel uncomfortable.
