After rebirth, I don’t want to be a Mary Sue heroine anymore!
Chapter 21 Plot Reversal
When the carriage stopped at the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was already midnight. Luo Qingqing and I got out of the carriage at the same time. Luo Qingqing had a smile on her face and a provocative look when she looked at me.
On the other hand, Luo Wenqian was not happy when he saw me. He showed his happiness on his face. Luo Wenqian looked at me with disgust in his eyes.
Anyone who saw this would know what was going on. Naturally, Luo Qingqing had already complained.
Luo Wenqian immediately said to me with a dark face: "Go to the front hall later, I have something to tell you."
I nodded slightly. I didn't say anything else. At this moment, Luo Qingqing still felt that Luo Wenqian could control me. Luo Qingqing seemed to have forgotten that the current Prime Minister's Mansion was not ruled by Luo Wenqian alone.
Otherwise, how could Luo Wenqian not allow Luo Qingqing to be the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion openly?
Wang Yuyuan also looked up and glanced at Luo Wenqian with disgust. She was about to argue with him, but Luo Wenqian's attitude made Wang Yuyuan very unhappy.
But I held Wang Yuyuan back. Now is not the time to have a falling out. The fun will probably come later when we have a falling out.
When we got to the front hall, Luo Wenqian asked me with a dark face, "Why did you hit Qingqing? Are you so intolerant of her? Is this your upbringing as the daughter of the Prime Minister? Aren't you afraid of being embarrassed if you tell others about it?"
Luo Qingqing was watching from the side, with a smug smile on her face. Then she immediately changed her look and said pitifully, "Uncle, this is not my cousin's fault. Maybe I did something wrong and made my cousin unhappy. That's why she treated me like this."
Luo Wenqian took a look at Luo Qingqing's pitiful appearance and said to her: "Qingqing, I think you are too naive and easy to talk to. That's why my daughter bullies you like this!"
I just watched from the side without saying a word, watching these two people play out the deep love between father and daughter in front of me.
Wang Yuyuan was also watching. Luo Wenqian looked at his daughter affectionately, his eyes full of heartache.
When Luo Wenqian turned around and looked at me, I saw the disgust in his eyes. But it didn't matter. I looked at Luo Wenqian.
Luo Wenqian immediately pointed at me and said, "You should face the wall and reflect on the past. It's because some people were not well-educated that such a shameful scene occurred!"
Wang Yuyuan must have been unhappy when she heard that. She immediately jumped out and said, "Luo Wenqian, you don't have to say anything about certain people. Qingqing has always been taught by me. Maybe you want to say that I am not good at educating her? Or that I have no upbringing? So the daughter you raised is also so uneducated?"
Luo Wenqian met Wang Yuting's cold eyes, and his voice softened immediately as he said, "Madam, I said that because I was angry. But Qingqing has really been spoiled by us. Look at Qingqing's face, how red and swollen it is? If it gets out, I'm afraid everyone will say something bad about Qingqing!"
Wang Yuyuan stared at Luo Wenqian and said, "At the banquet today, even the emperor praised Qingqing. How come my beloved daughter Qingqing has become such an ignorant person in your mouth?"
I listened to what Wang Yuyuan said, and my heart was warm. Luo Wenqian knew that the emperor loved me, and now Wang Yuyuan used the emperor to pressure Luo Wenqian, and Luo Wenqian had no way to refute.
At this time, Luo Qingqing immediately stood up and said: "Aunt, Uncle, please don't quarrel because of me. Maybe I did something to upset my cousin, and I don't care if my cousin teaches me a lesson. As long as everyone is happy, it doesn't matter if I suffer a little grievance."
Green tea is green tea, and her remarks are always shocking. I just can't stand it anymore.
I immediately said, "My cousin kept saying that you made me unhappy, so shouldn't I teach you a lesson? Why did she then say that you were wronged? Is this statement intended to make others misunderstand you?"
Luo Qingqing immediately had tears in her eyes and said in a sobbing voice: "Cousin, I really didn't mean that. You misunderstood me."
Luo Wenqian was about to get angry when he saw this scene. I immediately said, "My dear father, you want to put the blame on me without even knowing the truth of the matter. Why do you protect Luo Qingqing so much? I am obviously the only daughter of this Xiangfu. But Luo Qingqing said that she will be the only daughter of this Xiangfu in the future. If this gets out and outsiders know about it, will my cousin be accused of killing her own cousin for fame and fortune? I slapped her just to teach her a lesson. Is this wrong?"
Luo Qingqing didn't expect that I would actually turn the tables and tell her what she was thinking. Luo Qingqing knew that she couldn't be expelled from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Luo Qingqing immediately knelt at Luo Wenqian's feet and said, "Uncle, I didn't."
Then he tugged at Wang Yuyuan's trousers and said, "Aunt. I didn't mean that. I don't know why my cousin said that. I know my cousin is not very happy about my coming. But there is no need to slander me like that. I accept the slap I received today. But I don't want to bear such a bad name. If leaving can make everyone better, I am willing to leave."
Wang Yuyuan knew that Luo Qingqing was acting, so she had no expression on her face and didn't want to pull Luo Qingqing up. Instead, Luo Wenqian, who was standing by, looked at Luo Qingqing kneeling and crying, with a look of heartache on his face.
Luo Wenqian immediately pulled Luo Qingqing up and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you. I usually indulged her too much, so she is slandering you like this now. You just stay here well. I promised your father and mother that I would take good care of you. I can't go back on my word with you."
Luo Wenqian just couldn't bear to let Luo Qingqing go. How could he bear to let his daughter, whom he could control, go away?
Seeing this scene, I sat down and clapped my hands immediately, saying, "What a deep love between father and daughter. People who don't know would think you two are father and daughter, and I am an outsider. As expected, your father is so protective of her, so why not just let her become the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Luo Wenqian obviously didn't expect me to say that to him. Luo Qingqing's inability to become the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion was a pain in his life. He didn't expect me to say it directly.
Luo Wenqian was furious and wanted to raise his hand to slap me, but I stretched my face over to him. Wang Yuyuan looked at him with cold eyes.
Luo Wenqian was frightened by the look on Wang Yuyuan and I's face, and his hand stopped in mid-air, not daring to drop it.
Luo Qingqing also stopped crying at this time. When she saw Luo Wenqian raising his hand to hit me, a hint of pride flashed in her eyes. She thought that she had finally avenged the slap in the face.
But I didn't expect Luo Wenqian to be a bit useless. His hand stopped in mid-air and he didn't dare to hit me. Her eyes flashed with resentment towards me.
Wang Yuyuan immediately came out and said, "Why? Luo Wenqian, now that you are the prime minister, have you forgotten who put you in this position? If your daughter wasn't a lucky star, with your talent, do you think you could have become the prime minister? Luo Qingqing wouldn't be your illegitimate daughter, right? How dare you protect her so much? Do you still take me and my daughter seriously?"
Luo Wenqian had completely lost his self-esteem. Everything he had was obtained by relying on women. He had always wanted to get rid of this label. But he didn't expect that he couldn't get rid of it no matter what he did.
Luo Wenqian immediately softened and said, "It's wrong for Qingqing to hit someone. I just want her to learn a lesson and not go astray in the future. Besides, you are my wife, how can I not take you seriously? I know that my own knowledge is limited and I don't understand many things. But I haven't forgotten that when I was not welcomed, it was my wife's family who helped me, so I can be where I am today."
After Luo Wenqian finished speaking, he immediately pulled my hand and Wang Yuyuan's hand together. Then he said: "I was wrong this time. We shouldn't do anything in front of outsiders. If Qingqing did something wrong, we should talk about it in the mansion. Otherwise, people outside will say that Qingqing bullied others. The age difference between the two children is not big. If it gets out, people will say that we don't like others. It's really good for our family to be good."
I saw the hatred in Luo Qingqing's eyes. Luo Qingqing still didn't understand Luo Wenqian as well as I did. Luo Wenqian always loved only himself, no one else. He just liked others to please him.
But if someone threatens his position, even if that person is his beloved daughter, he will kick that person out.
Luo Qingqing now saw Luo Wenqian clearly, and also saw clearly her position in the family.
Luo Qingqing immediately ran over to me and said, "Cousin, if I do anything wrong in the future, can you tell me directly? This way I can correct it better. I know I have a lot of bad habits, probably because I grew up in the countryside. I hope my cousin can be more tolerant."
This is a play for me, so naturally I will use my best acting skills to play along with her and say: "Cousin, I was wrong today. I shouldn't have slapped you in public. But I was also too impatient. After all, there are many people in the palace. If some of the words are heard by others, I'm afraid some unnecessary troubles will arise. The palace is not like the mountains and fields, some words can be forgotten. The higher you climb, the more people will watch you. If you are not careful, others will make a big fuss about you."
Luo Wenqian immediately agreed, "Indeed. Although I am now the prime minister, which is a relatively high position, serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. If I am impeached or there is other evidence to report me one day, I am afraid that my whole family will be implicated. The emperor also does not like women to play tricks on each other."
Luo Wenqian immediately took Luo Qingqing's hand and said, "Qingqing, your uncle and aunt are also hoping for the best for you. After all, we are related by blood. There are many rules in the capital. If we have any problems outside, you two sisters should not make trouble outside. If there are any problems, we can solve them after returning home. Otherwise, everyone in the capital will be waiting to see the joke. You two sisters are going to get married in the future. If the reputation of one of you is affected, I am afraid it will be difficult for the other to get married."
Luo Qingqing understood what I meant, and now she felt very aggrieved. She was slapped by me, and she thought Luo Wenqian could help her. But she didn't expect Luo Wenqian to turn against her at the last minute.
Luo Qingqing cried and said: "I was wrong today. Thank you for your teachings. I hope you can forgive me. In the future, we must win glory for the Prime Minister's Mansion and not fight outside."
Luo Wenqian was very satisfied when he heard what Luo Qingqing said. He still favored Luo Qingqing in his heart.
Wang Yuyuan still had a smile on her face as she said, "Everyone in the capital city values the hierarchy of legitimate and illegitimate children. Don't lose your sense of propriety when you are out there. Otherwise, you will have a bad reputation in the end. When making friends in foreign countries, you should also make friends with decent people. Don't make friends with people with bad intentions. If you want to marry well, the capital city also values family background. You also need to make friends with some upper-class circles. Don't learn some despicable means. After all, those means are used by people who are not presentable."
After listening to this, Luo Qingqing buried her head in the dust. Luo Qingqing knew that Wang Yuyuan was pointing at her, but she didn't dare to say anything to refute it now.
I could only smile and say to Wang Yuyuan: "Auntie taught me that. Today was also my first time to attend such a large occasion. I didn't know the rules and almost brought shame to the Prime Minister's Mansion. In the future, I will pay attention to my words and deeds, as well as my circle of friends."
Wang Yuyuan didn't expect Luo Qingqing to be so shameless. If anyone else heard this, they probably wouldn't continue talking. Unexpectedly, Luo Qingqing actually continued talking directly. It seems that Luo Qingqing is indeed not an easy person to deal with.
I stood by and looked at Luo Qingqing coldly. It was already late at night, and with all the noise, everyone was already very sleepy. Wang Yuyuan told everyone to go back to their rooms and rest.
Wang Yuyuan and I slept in the same room. After all, I seldom came back. Wang Yuyuan was also very happy to sleep with me.
After we got to the room and washed up and lay down, I said, "Mother, it seems that Luo Qingqing is more difficult to deal with than we thought. I'm afraid we have to meet her in private. She should turn her attention to Wen Yiheng. After all, Wen Yiheng is the prince. But I'm very curious about how she will marry into the royal family in this life."
Wang Yuyuan hugged me, patted my back and said, "Qingqing, we should be more careful in doing things. Since she likes that kind of rubbish, just give it to her. With her status, it is naturally impossible for her to be the main wife. But I am also very curious about what despicable means she will use to win Wen Yiheng's favor. Let's wait and see."
I nodded and stopped talking. I was really sleepy. After all, this banquet was a tiring job. I had been arguing with Luo Qingqing for so long since I came back. Soon, I fell into a deep sleep.
