After rebirth, I don’t want to be a Mary Sue heroine anymore!
Chapter 22 Secret feelings
The next day, I woke up early. The weather was getting better, so I trained in my courtyard in the morning. After all, martial arts cannot be wasted for a day, otherwise all the hard work would be in vain.
On the other side, Luo Qingqing got very angry after returning. Luo Qingqing thought her plan was perfect and could succeed.
But she didn't expect that she would end up losing more than she gained. When she returned and saw Li Cui waiting at the door, she was furious.
Li Cui saw Luo Qingqing returning to the courtyard with a wronged look on her face, so she immediately pulled Luo Qingqing into the room and asked what was going on.
Luo Qingqing was already annoyed, and Li Cui's question was like walking into a gun. Seeing Li Cui dressed like a servant, Luo Qingqing's hatred grew stronger and stronger.
Luo Qingqing stared at Li Cui with her eyes fixed. Li Cui didn't understand and could only keep asking Luo Qingqing what was going on.
The more Li Cui asked, the more annoyed Luo Qingqing became. Luo Qingqing couldn't stand it anymore, so she pushed Li Cui away and said, "It's all because of your low status! That's why I can't be the daughter of the Prime Minister! You're still asking me what's wrong? I was slapped by that bitch, and I still have to endure the grievance, all because of you!"
Li Cui was scolded for no reason, and looked at Luo Qingqing's right face again, which was indeed swollen. Li Cui immediately raised her hand to touch Luo Qingqing's wound, but Luo Qingqing immediately turned her face away and said, "Don't touch me, you make me feel sick!"
Li Cui was seriously hurt by these sudden words. She didn't know why her daughter became like this. She had worked hard all these years just to make Luo Qingqing live a good life, but she didn't expect Luo Qingqing to treat her like this!
Li Cui was also extremely sad, so she raised her hand and slapped Luo Qingqing again.
Luo Qingqing's left face suddenly hurt. Luo Qingqing didn't expect Li Cui to hit her. She said angrily: "You lowly maid, you dare to hit me. If I hadn't asked you to come from Luo Qingqing, you would be nothing more than a lowly maid who washes toilets! How dare you hit me!"
Li Cui didn't expect Luo Qingqing, her own daughter, to say this about her. Li Cui also spoke up: "If it weren't for me, would you be in this situation? You were born by me, I am lowly, and you have lowly blood in your bones! No one is any better! You are just a distant relative now, and you think of treating me like this with your status. If you become the legitimate daughter, don't you want to kill me?"
Luo Qingqing hated it most when people said that she had lowly blood in her veins. She was so angry that she drove Li Cui away. She was also very tired and didn't want to quarrel with Li Cui anymore.
Luo Qingqing also knew that her current situation was very embarrassing, and she didn't dare to cause any more trouble with us. She knew that if she fought with me now, she would only suffer losses!
Now she can only rely on Wen Yiheng to turn things around. She knows that her first impression has been ruined, but she has many ways to make it back. After all, I won't be in the mansion often in the future. As long as she can have more contact with Wen Yiheng, there will be no problem.
The next day, when she got up, she found that her face was swollen and she couldn't put on makeup anymore. She could only go bare-faced.
This morning, we all had breakfast together. Luo Wenqian also didn't attend the morning court. Luo Chen didn't come back with us yesterday because his grandfather was very strict with him. He went back with his grandfather and the others.
At the dinner table, I was also shocked when I saw Luo Qingqing's face. After all, I only hit her once. But now both sides of Luo Qingqing's face are swollen.
I knew it must have been Li Cui who hit me, so in order to pretend to be kind and generous in front of Luo Wenqian, I immediately said, "Cousin, what happened to your face? Why are both sides of your face swollen? I remember that only one side of your face was swollen yesterday!"
Luo Qingqing didn't dare to say that it was Li Cui who hit her, so she could only reply to me: "I wasn't paying attention when I returned to the house yesterday, so my face accidentally hit the pillar, so my face is swollen."
I pretended to believe it and immediately said softly: "In that case, cousin, you must be careful on the road. Don't take the wrong road next time, or you will lose your life. I have some medicine to reduce swelling. I'll give it to you after dinner."
Luo Wenqian was delighted when he saw the peaceful scene at the dinner table. As long as the dinner table was happy, he felt that the quarrel yesterday was worth it. If it weren't for that quarrel, there would naturally be no peaceful scene today. He was still quite confident in himself.
Wang Yuyuan and I simply ignored the two of them and took the breakfast on the table and savored it carefully.
At this moment, the servant immediately came up and reported: "Prime Minister, Madam! The Fifth Prince is here!"
I pretended not to hear and ate beside him. Luo Wenqian immediately asked the servants to invite the people in. Luo Qingqing found that she was now without makeup and felt a little regretful. She should have put on a layer of makeup. But she changed her mind and thought that it could highlight her unpopular temperament, and a smile immediately appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Wang Yuyuan and I looked at each other and knew that the fish had taken the bait.
When Wen Yiheng came, he simply said, "I didn't disturb you guys from eating, did I?"
I complained about him eight hundred times in my mind, of course I was disturbing him. If a stranger came to visit you while you were having a meal, would you be happy? But I still had a forced smile on my face!
Luo Wenqian immediately spoke up to please him: "Don't bother me, don't bother me. Why would I bother you? Fifth Prince, would you like to sit down and have something to eat?"
Wen Yiheng shook his head and said, "No, I've already eaten. I came here today because I felt that I got along well with Qingqing at the banquet yesterday. I also asked Qingqing's opinion yesterday, and I came here to play with her. So I came today."
I felt like throwing up when I heard those two sweet words. But I still pretended to be shy and said, "Fifth Prince, what you said is ridiculous. I am naturally very happy that the Fifth Prince can come to play with me."
Luo Wenqian looked at me, then at Luo Qingqing and said, "We are all flattered that the Fifth Prince is here. Since he is here to play with our Qingqing, that is naturally very good. My niece is the same age as you, so the three of you can play together!"
Luo Qingqing's eyes lit up when she heard this. But Luo Qingqing still pretended to say, "Can I? Can I play with the Fifth Prince and my cousin? But I'm afraid I'll say something wrong and make the Fifth Prince and my cousin unhappy, so why don't I just play by myself?"
Luo Qingqing's eyes were still filled with tears as she spoke. She particularly emphasized the word "again". If someone didn't know better, they would think I was bullying her.
Wen Yiheng couldn't tell a green tea bitch from a bitch, and at first he thought I would get along well with him. Thinking about my life experience, and looking at Luo Qingqing's pitiful appearance, I naturally couldn't bear to reject Luo Qingqing.
Wen Yiheng said: "Since we are of similar age, we can naturally play together. Qingqing and I are not the kind of people who care about things, so how could we blame you?"
Who understands? I really want to roll my eyes at this moment. This moral kidnapping is a trick. I care a lot. If I say I don't care, it means that I will have to endure most of the bullying from Luo Qingqing in the future. I naturally don't want to. I really want to scold him.
But now that Wen Yiheng is in this position, I can't possibly go against him. The emperor is supreme, no matter how much the emperor dislikes him, he is still a royal relative after all, and the emperor can't give up his own son for an insignificant person!
Luo Qingqing showed her superb acting skills at this time. She immediately held back her tears and said, "Thank you, Fifth Prince! I am grateful that I can have a playmate now."
Luo Wenqian immediately urged Luo Qingqing and me to go play with Wen Yiheng.
Luo Wenqian was very optimistic about Wen Yiheng becoming the emperor. After all, Wen Yiheng's biological mother was of low status and had no strong maternal family. Moreover, he was interested in poetry and songs. If Wen Yiheng became the emperor in the future, Luo Wenqian would be able to control him easily.
The three of us walked together in the courtyard. At this time, only chrysanthemums were in bloom. Chrysanthemums make people look noble and noble, which is what Luo Qingqing likes. And I just like peonies, the king of flowers.
Luo Qingqing was looking at the chrysanthemums in the garden, and she was extremely happy. Wen Yiheng was reciting poems about chrysanthemums beside her. The two of them were really a good match. I looked at the chrysanthemums with a completely blank expression on my face.
When the two of them found out that they both liked chrysanthemums, they started to compete with each other. They kept talking about how noble chrysanthemums were and how unique their fragrance was. I couldn't get a word in at all.
After walking for a while, I found a pavilion in front of me, and I sat down immediately. I asked the servants to bring me a fruit plate, and I sat beside it and ate the fruit plate.
Luo Qingqing tried her best to show herself in front of Wen Yiheng, saying: "Peony is also very beautiful, but it is too ostentatious. It always thinks that it can outshine all the other flowers. Chrysanthemum is better, it does not compete or fight. In these days when most plants are withering, only it blooms proudly!"
The more I listened, the more speechless I became. If you like chrysanthemums, just like chrysanthemums. Why do you want to criticize other flowers? Peonies are just beautiful, and it is a skill to be able to outshine other flowers. Every flower has its own flowering period. What's there to criticize?
Wen Yiheng said beside him: "Indeed. Although it is plain and elegant, it always makes people love it. I think this is the charm of chrysanthemums."
Luo Qingqing knew that I liked peonies, and with what she just said as a prelude, she naturally wanted to wait for me to make a fool of myself in front of Wen Yiheng.
Luo Qingqing immediately asked: "I wonder what kind of flowers my cousin likes? When we were admiring chrysanthemums just now, I saw that my cousin was not interested. Is it because chrysanthemums are not pretty?"
I immediately said: "Chrysanthemums are noble and elegant, so they naturally don't want us to appreciate them as ornamental flowers. I think it's fine for them to bloom on their own. There are so many flowers I like. It's just that they bloom on their own, and I don't want to be the leader to appreciate them. They bloom only for themselves, not for me. They don't need an audience!"
These words made Luo Qingqing's face turn pale and green. They are all flowers, with their own characteristics and blooming periods. What's the point of comparing them? No matter how many people like them, they will bloom on time. Why do you have to belittle flowers?
Wen Yiheng didn't expect me to say this, so he nodded and said there was nothing wrong with it. But Wen Yiheng himself was more inclined to be a flower with integrity.
When Wen Yiheng and I were together, he found that I seemed quite boring. When he discussed poetry with me, I looked blank.
I'm not pretending, I really don't have the talent for this. Even if I try hard, I still can't write a good article, I can only understand it slowly.
On the other hand, Luo Qingqing was able to answer almost everything Wen Yiheng asked, which made Wen Yiheng very happy.
I was like a wooden man, just eating. Luo Qingqing got along very well with Wen Yiheng.
Wen Yiheng asked Luo Qingqing why she was so fierce in the temple that day.
Luo Qingqing had no choice but to answer with red eyes: "In the temple, I saw a kitten on the way to the temple. It was pitiful because there was no big cat to take care of it. I thought about taking it home to raise it, but everyone advised me that the kitten might be raised by a big cat, and the big cat was just looking for food.
So I left. But after walking a little further, I found that the big cat had been hit by another carriage and died. When I went back to look for the little cat, it was gone. I wonder if I had insisted on taking it with me, the outcome would have been different. When it was hit that day, I was unhappy, so I said that. "
After listening to her, Wen Yiheng comforted Luo Qingqing and said, "I see. After spending time with you today, I found that you are not the kind of person who despises the poor and loves the rich, bullies the weak and fears the strong. The kitten may have been adopted by someone else. It is living a good life now. You don't need to blame yourself too much. Under the circumstances at that time, no one knew whether the big cat would come back.
If you rashly take the kitten away, the big cat will be unhappy when he comes back and finds that his kitten is gone. It's not your fault either."
I was speechless. Only someone like Wen Yiheng would believe this kind of reason. After hearing what Luo Qingqing said, Wen Yiheng showed a hint of disgust towards me, as if he thought I was saying bad things about Luo Qingqing behind her back.
Turning to Luo Qingqing, he said, "I was originally going to look for your cousin today, but I didn't expect you and I would get along better. May I know what the girl's name is?"
Luo Qingqing replied: "In reply to the Fifth Prince, my name is Luo Qingqing, which means sky blue. My parents and Prime Minister Luo are cousins, so my last name is Luo. My parents are gone, so I live in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Qingqing and I are cousins."
Wen Yiheng suddenly seemed to understand why I said that in the temple, thinking that I was afraid that Luo Qingqing would steal my limelight, so I deliberately did that to make him misunderstand Luo Qingqing.
So he said to Luo Qingqing: "This prince knows. If someone bullies you, you can tell this prince and I will give you justice!"
