The Sickly Regent Prince Who Was Abandoned as a Substitute Bride

"Qiuqin, help me take all these things off my head, and get some water so I can wash off my makeup." Dongfang Wan'er was going to buy medicinal herbs today, so she couldn't go out like this. After living in the modern world for a while, her aesthetic sense had changed.

"Yes," Qiuqin said quickly, removing the hairpin from Dongfang Wan'er's hair and washing her face.

Dongfang Wan'er looked at herself in the mirror, her brows twitching. She was still ugly, and even darker!

"Qiuqin, comb your hair into a simple bun, the simpler the better!"

The young lady has indeed changed; she wasn't wrong. She noticed it the moment the young lady called her in to serve her personally, and she wasn't like before...

As Qiuqin thought to herself, her hands didn't stop. She combed her hair into a tassel bun, tied up the hair on both sides, wrapped the roots with ribbons, and let it hang down naturally. Her black hair fell to her waist and shoulders, looking very light and graceful, giving people a gentle and elegant feeling.

This hairstyle gives Dongfang Wan'er a different kind of aloofness, provided you don't look at her face.

"Oh, right, let's change out of those brightly colored clothes too."

Dongfang Wan'er searched through her wardrobe and finally found a light pink daffodil dress, a style from last year. She blamed herself for being so easily swayed, listening to Dongfang Mingzhu and dressing in such a brightly colored outfit.

"Throw away all the clothes in the closet!"

"Yes, Miss looks really good in this outfit!" Qiuqin genuinely thought it looked great.

Dongfang Wan'er really couldn't see what was so attractive about it; Qiu Qin's filter was too strong.

"Qiuqin, I'll take care of the rest myself. Go and prepare the carriage; I'm heading out!"

Qiuqin, oh no, Miss is going out again! "Yes!" Sigh, I thought Miss had changed, but it turns out it was just my imagination. I just hope Miss won't cause any trouble!

After Qiuqin left, Dongfang Wan'er flashed into her spatial dimension. "Luckily, the lab has prepared BB cream and a BB cream, which should make me look a bit fairer."

Dongfang Wan'er immediately started fiddling with her face. "Sure enough, my face looks a bit whiter now, and it looks much better! Hmm, I'd better not cover up the birthmark; too much change will arouse suspicion."

As soon as she left the space, Qiuqin returned. "Young Miss, the carriage is ready!" Qiuqin glanced at Dongfang Wan'er, thinking she was mistaken.

"Huh?" Qiuqin realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly knelt down!

"Alright, stop kneeling, get up. Why do you kneel all the time? Just say what you want to say from now on. Am I that scary?"

“Miss…Miss, then I’ll be frank. You used to scold me all the time, and you’ve beaten all the servants in the manor. If I did anything wrong, you would…” Qiuqin finished speaking and knelt down again. “Miss, please punish me!”

Dongfang Wan'er... "Qiuqin!" Dongfang Wan'er recalled that she had indeed been like that before, and had been deceived by Dongfang Mingzhu and the others!

"Qiuqin, I'll only say this once. You don't need to kneel anymore. I saved you from the slave trader, and from now on you'll be my personal maid. I won't beat or scold you arbitrarily anymore." Of course, except for you! Dongfang Wan'er thought to herself.

"Understood, Miss!" Qiuqin was very happy.

"Okay, let's go out!"

"Yes, Miss, you seem to have gotten even fairer today!" Qiuqin became bolder after hearing Dongfang Wan'er's words.

"That's my secret. I'll share some with you when we get back!"

The two had just stepped out of the room when Oriental Pearl Tower arrived!

"Oh, sister, are you getting ready to go out? Sister, I heard that your second aunt gave you a set of red coral jewelry yesterday. I'd like to borrow it to wear. I'm going on a trip with my girlfriends tomorrow!" Dongfang Mingzhu said, heading inside to get it.

Dongfang Wan'er blocked the doorway first. It was the same in her previous life. She would come to borrow her jewelry at any time, and once she borrowed it, she could never get it back!

"Sister?" Dongfang Mingzhu was puzzled. What was wrong with her today? And why was this bitch dressed like this? Apart from the conspicuous birthmark, she looked good no matter how you looked at her.

"Sister-in-law, as a daughter born out of wedlock, shouldn't you address me as 'Young Miss'? Besides, my mother only gave birth to me. What kind of sister are you? According to the current laws, I have the right to punish you!" Dongfang Wan'er's voice was cold and devoid of any emotion.

In the Yuan Dynasty's current laws, the hierarchy between legitimate and illegitimate children was very clear. If an illegitimate daughter made a mistake, the legitimate daughter could directly sell her off. It was only because Dongfang Wan'er's father, Dongfang Zheng, favored his concubine over his wife that Dongfang Mingzhu's life in the Marquis's mansion was relatively easy. If it weren't for her mother's wealth, her cheap father would have definitely divorced her.

"Also, you haven't returned the things you borrowed from me before, and now you're asking to borrow things again. I won't lend them to you, give them back to me!" He stared coldly at the Oriental Pearl Tower.

"Sister, what's wrong with you today? Didn't you say that your things are my things?"

"When did I say that? Don't talk nonsense. I'm going out now, so don't block my way. Qiuqin, lock the door." Dongfang Wan'er pushed Dongfang Mingzhu aside and turned around. "By the way, I'll be back to get my things later. Please have my half-sister prepare them."

Dongfang Mingzhu was nearly knocked over by Dongfang Wan'er; if it weren't for her maid supporting her, she would already be on the ground.

After Dongfang Wan'er left, Dongfang Mingzhu crumpled the handkerchief in her hand into a ball and glared fiercely in the direction Dongfang Wan'er had left. "That bitch must have been possessed by a ghost today. She suddenly wants me to return her things. Those things were originally mine. Why should I?"

"Wanyao, let's go!" She wanted to go back and ask her aunt. That wretched Dongfang Wan'er had always been very obedient; it must have been someone sent by her second uncle who said something.

------------------

"Miss, you were really good just now! You never let the Second Miss take your things!" Qiuqin felt heartbroken just thinking about it. Every time her second uncle sent someone to deliver something, the Second Miss would take it away.

"Qiuqin, your young lady used to be confused, but she's not confused anymore!"

"Giddy up! Make way for the carriage in front! The Regent is injured, get out of the way quickly!"

"Your Highness, Xiao Jie, please make way! Miss, Your Highness is injured!" Qiu Qin instructed the coachman to make way.

"Ye Jiuchen!" Dongfang Wan'er murmured, but her thoughts drifted far away.

She remembered that in her previous life, when her soul was wandering around, it drifted to the Regent's Palace!

------------------

"Have all those who hurt her been caught?" Ye Jiuchen asked with a gloomy face.

"My lord, they've all been captured!"

"Uncle Jiu, I was wrong, Uncle Jiu, spare me!" Ye Jingchu was tortured beyond recognition and could only lie on the ground begging for mercy, his tendons in his hands and feet all severed.

"Brother, I underestimated you. Heh, give me a quick death!" Emperor Ye Erxiao hung his head, completely bewildered by his ninth brother's madness, which led him to sell out the country in order to punish his own son!

"Dark Night, have the people from Jing Kingdom arrived yet?!"

"We've arrived, my lord. We've already reached the capital." Dark Night was unconditionally loyal; no matter what Ye Jiuchen did, even if it meant leading an army into his own country, he would support him…
