Chapter 343: Going crazy
"Don't talk nonsense." Xia Zihan glared at her angrily, her cheeks rosy as fire, "How can we be engaged?"
"No, but the emperor already knew it and said that you were destined by the Chu family."
After hearing this, her brother Wang was so sad that he drowned his sorrows in wine and couldn't sleep well for several days and nights.
"My father said that the second master of the Chu family is not a reliable person, but General Chu is a man who values love, justice and commitment. If he has decided that you will be his daughter-in-law, then he will definitely let you. Chu Jingqi will marry you.”
"It's just..." Princess Qinghui looked worried, "Although Chu Jingqi is beautiful, he is a piece of wood and has a very cold personality. I heard that he is cold to his mother, and his mother will angrily call him cold. Block, is it really okay for you to get married?”
How should she answer this?
Can she tell Princess Qinghui that Aqi is cold and distant to everyone, but has no lower limit for being shameless towards her?
Of course not.
"No... I don't know." Xia Zihan was embarrassed and couldn't make a sound.
Ao Tianchen came over, stared at her deeply, but said calmly, "You two, what are you whispering in hiding here?"
"Humph, I won't tell you." Princess Qinghui said goodbye with a look that made me very angry, "I'm almost out of your eyes."
He was jealous because he only talked to Li Tong and ignored her.
Ao Tianchen ruffled her hair and said amusedly, "You white-eyed wolf, my brother's eyes and heart are all about you, isn't that enough?"
"When did you get into trouble, didn't you do it for your brother to help you deal with the aftermath?"
"Sir, you broke my father's favorite inkstone into two pieces, and it was me who took the blame for you."
"My father ordered me to find an inkstone better than that within three days, but I haven't found it yet."
Princess Qinghui's eyes turned to Princess Mingzhu, and she said slyly, "Your wife is the most talented woman in the capital. She must have a good inkstone. You can borrow one from her first." Just give it back to her when you find it.”
She helped Li Tong, so she must also help Princess Mingzhu.
In any case, Princess Mingzhu is her serious sister-in-law.
The words of the brother and sister happened to be listened to by Princess Mingzhu, Li Tong and Xia Ziqing who came over.
Princess Mingzhu hurriedly took over the words, "I happened to have a few fine inkstones in my dowry, which were left to me by my grandfather. When I get home soon, my husband will pick out two pieces for use."
Ao Tianchen's eyes lit up and he nodded, "Thank you so much, madam."
"I feel honored to be able to relieve my husband's worries." Princess Mingzhu smiled sweetly and asked, "I wonder what kind of inkstone my husband needs?"
Even if she doesn't have it, she can go back to her father and ask for a few pieces. Her father has always had a hobby of collecting inkstones, and he has many rare inkstones in his hands.
"Duan inkstone, my father is only used to using Duan inkstone." The young couple came together to talk about inkstones.
Li Tong pursed her lips and wanted to say something, but she didn't have a good inkstone in her hand.
If she takes the initiative to take this matter upon herself, she will not be able to do as the young prince wants, and it will be self-defeating, right?
Li Tong endured and endured again and again before he moved forward without any sense, but his obsessed eyes never moved away from Ao Tianchen.
Xia Ziqing, who was also fascinated by Ao Tianchen's handsome face and didn't know what to do, her eyes were firmly locked on his face, her cheeks were shy and her eyes were full of youth.
Xia Zilan snorted and gave her a tug, "Sister, why are you staring at me? Aren't you going to guess riddles? The maid brought them all and you didn't read them?"
"Look...why don't you look."
As if she had been caught red-handed as a thief, Xia Ziqing's cheeks turned red with embarrassment, "Also, I'm not looking at anyone, so don't talk nonsense."
"What nonsense did I say? You..."
The words that were left unspoken were silenced by Xia Ziqing's angry eyes.
Xia Zilan pouted and hummed.
Xia Ziqing began to regret taking her, a loser, out to play, but people were already here, and she couldn't send her back, so she could only threaten her to speak less, "Fourth sister, be careful what you say in the future, don't say anything, or you'll lose it when the time comes. With the face of the Xia family, my second uncle will definitely forgive you.”
"If you don't say it, don't say it. Hmm... you think I rarely say it." Xia Zilan pouted and agreed with a look of reluctance.
Only then did Xia Ziqing take the puzzle from the maid's hand.
It was full of puzzles, but Xia Ziqing couldn't understand a single word. She looked at Ao Tianchen absentmindedly.
Seeing Ao Tianchen chatting happily with Princess Mingzhu, Xia Ziqing felt envious and jealous.
"Sister, it turns out you are here, giving me a good meal."
A sharp voice followed by a pink figure appeared in everyone's sight.
She was an acquaintance. Although she hadn't seen him for more than a year, this person left a deep impression on Xia Zihan, so Xia Zihan recognized her as soon as she appeared.
A trace of ridicule flashed in Xia Zihan's eyes.
Haha, it's been more than a year, and the poison she gave her back then should be cured.
At first, Li Ke joined a group of noble ladies to exclude her and secretly scolded her. He even tried to frame her up for embarrassment when a group of noble men from Ao Tianchen showed up.
Therefore, she gave Li Ke a small punishment without any burden.
It gave her a layer of pimples and blisters on her face.
It took her body a long time.
If Li Ke had not randomly applied anti-itching and painkillers on his face after the poison occurred, the pimples and blisters on his face would have disappeared naturally in a year, leaving no scars at all.
But if you apply medicine, then...hehe...
Xia Zihan saw that Li Ke had a thick layer of makeup on his face, as if to cover up something, so she knew that Li Ke must have applied medicine on his face after he was poisoned, and the mark was left on his face.
No wonder, Li Ke now looks at people with a sinister look.
It was an imbalance rising from the bottom of my heart, a resentment, and a hatred that displeased everyone in the world.
Especially Li Tong who is better than her in everything now.
She suffered a year of torture and pain, and her face was inexplicably destroyed, but her good sister was going to marry Ao Tianchen, the prince charming in the hearts of all the girls in the capital.
Why?
They are all daughters who came out of the same mother's belly. Why would she be disfigured, but nothing happened to Li Tong, and she still had to marry Ao Tianchen, whom she fell in love with.
Why?
Seeing that Li Ke was alone, without even a maid, Li Tong said, "My little sister came out to play too, why didn't I see my cousins?"
"I came here alone." Li Ke's face turned cold and his expression was not very good.
Li Tong seemed to be explaining, "I had an appointment with Princess Qinghui before, so I took the first step without telling you. I thought you would hang out with your cousins."
Li Ke snorted and said rudely, "Sister, are you worried that I will pester you and disturb you and your brother-in-law?"
At this moment, Li Ke has a much sharper temper than she did more than a year ago, and her words are even more harsh and merciless.
He has also grown half a head taller, is more mature than the year before, and his face is also open, but his already mean face looks a bit more bitter and stingy.
In particular, she had a thick layer of powder on her face. When she got angry, the powder on her face was like flour, and it fell down.
After a while, there was a layer of powder next to the soles of her feet.
A cold light flashed deep in Li Tong's eyes, his hands clenched into fists and shook slightly.
It seemed that she was very angry with Li Ke.
But then, Li Tong let go and scolded slightly, "Little sister, don't talk nonsense."
"You are willing to follow me, I wish you the best."
After a pause, he added, "You and I are siblings from the same mother. I love you before it's too late. How can I be afraid of you pestering me? My little sister is not allowed to say these words next time."
"Hmph, don't think I don't know, you hate me following you." Li Ke said.
She looked around, as if she was looking for someone.
When she saw Ao Tianchen, her eyes lit up and she ran over excitedly, "Brother-in-law."
She seemed to have not seen Princess Mingzhu beside Ao Tianchen and ignored her completely.
"Brother-in-law, you brought your sister to play, but why didn't you bring me? I was still waiting at home, thinking that you would definitely bring me with you when you and your sister went out to play."
"My sister is my only sister. She used to take me with her wherever she goes, but recently she always leaves me to play alone. Brother-in-law, don't you like me? Is it because you don't let your sister take me to play with you? ?”
She obviously has a sharp and mean face, but she still pretends to be a cute and innocent little girl.
The sense of disobedience almost made Xia Zihan vomit on the spot.
Before Ao Tianchen could say anything, Princess Qinghui jumped up and said, "Who do you think you are? Why did I call you when my brother Wang came out to play?"
"Also, what does it mean to like you or not?"
"You still want my brother Wang to like you based on your ugly appearance, bah... Why are you so big-faced? Why don't you go back and look in the mirror to see how ugly you are, are you worthy of my brother Wang?"
Princess Qinghui was furious, but she didn't care, she started to curse loudly, and she happened to hit Li Ke's sore spot.
Li Ke's eyes immediately became a little crazy.
She thought Princess Qinghui had seen through the disguise on her face and thought that her disfigurement had been known to the world.
No, she couldn't let anyone know.
She had covered her face thickly so that no one could see her.
Especially Ao Tianchen.
The male god in her heart is Haruto in her dreams.
Over the past year and so many days and nights, when she was in pain, it was his face that appeared in her mind, spending time with her.
She is still alive because of him.
Because at the beginning, he begged for her.
That trace of sweetness supported her through a year of inhuman torture.
Therefore, anyone in the world can look at her strangely, but he cannot.
He is her hope, the sun in her heart, and the only persistence in her life.
She looked towards Ao Tianchen anxiously.
However, the way he looked at her with disdain, as if he were looking at something dirty, that strange look irritated her, and the devil that had been suppressed in her heart seemed to wake up at this moment.
She rushed towards Princess Qinghui like she was crazy, "You are talking nonsense, I am the only one in this world who is worthy of your brother Wang."
