The Reborn Princess Has Turned Evil

Today is a school day, and the sun came up early. Walking in the garden, a gentle breeze rustled through the leaves, which blocked the sunlight, casting dappled patterns on the ground.

As soon as she arrived at the entrance of Jiying Hall, Jing Anle came face to face with Jing Rou. Today, she was wearing a light pink ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), which made her skin look snow-white and delicate. Behind her was a maid who looked unfamiliar. It seemed that this person was Ning Wen.

Even though Jing Rou was unwilling, she still had to obediently bow to Jing Anle, saying, "This humble woman greets the princess!"

"The princess looks much better, not as pale as she was a few days ago." Jing Anle straightened her sleeves, her tone tinged with mockery.

Jing Rou clenched her fists tightly. She knew that, apart from their two maids, there was no one else around when Jing Anle mentioned being frightened by the poisonous snake. Jing Rou decided to stop pretending and stepped forward, saying, "You know what happened that night, and so do I!"

Her tone was sarcastic, and her eyes seemed to see right through Jing Anle.

"You couldn't hold back any longer?" Jing Anle smiled and shook her head. "What is the princess talking about? The more I listen, the more confused I get."

"There are only the two of us here, so why should the princess put on airs?"

Jing Anle couldn't help but laugh; she actually thought the matter of the poisonous snake was related to her.

"What are you laughing at?" Jing Rou asked sharply.

Jing Anle didn't even look at her directly, but instead fiddled with her fingernails, saying in a nonchalant tone, "I'm laughing at your stupidity!"

“You…” Jing Rou’s eyes widened in anger, and she couldn’t say a word.

Jing Anle looked down at Jing Rou and asked, "What?" He then glanced at Jing Rou's clenched fist and continued, "Want to hit me?"

Jing Rou snorted coldly, then suddenly seemed to remember something and said with a smile, "I have been taught by my mother since I was a child, unlike some people who have no one to teach them, so it is understandable that they speak aggressively."

This was undoubtedly rubbing salt into Jing Anle's wounds; she had lost her mother at a young age, a fact known throughout the palace.

As expected, Jing Anle's face immediately darkened. Why hadn't she seen through her true colors in her past life?

"So this is how the princess behaves in her upbringing. It seems I'll have to ask the princess herself sometime. Is this what it means to be a mother and teach your children?" Jing Anle knew that Jing Rou was deliberately provoking her. Did she think she was as stupid as before?

"Princess, don't push your luck!" Jing Rou said through gritted teeth after hearing these words.

Jing Anle was almost laughing in anger, "Princess, your ability to distort the truth is truly remarkable!"

Before Jing Rou could retort, Jing Anle continued, "Who exactly is going too far? You've said everything yourself, what are you expecting others to say?"

Jing Rou pursed her lips, her sharp eyes spotting several figures approaching from a distance. She curled her lips into a smile, and almost instantly grabbed Jing Anle's hand, slapping it against herself. Then she quickly took a few steps back, her voice pitiful, "Princess, it was my fault. Please calm down, Princess."

The maid behind her quickly stepped forward to help Jingrou up.

The group that happened to arrive were Luo Wei, Xia Tingfu, and Qi Zhi, and what they saw was that Jing Rou looked like she had been beaten.

"Meet Princess!"

Even though they didn't know what had happened, everyone naturally had to pay their respects first.

Jing Anle was initially caught off guard by Jing Rou's actions, but as soon as she spoke, Jing Anle knew that Jing Rou was about to cause trouble again.

She feigned grievance, making others believe that Jing Anle had hit her, but she was wrong. This was the palace, and she was no longer the face-conscious Jing Anle of the past.

"Princess, what's wrong?"

Jing Rou covered her face and stood aside looking aggrieved and frail, which naturally aroused Qi Zhi's concern and pity.

"I...it's all my fault, it has nothing to do with the princess!"

These words easily shifted the blame to Jing Anle, but Afang, who was standing nearby, couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Princess Rou, don't talk nonsense. It was clearly you who took my princess's hand and hit yourself."

Everyone looked at each other, these two were both noble ladies of the royal family, especially Jing Anle, who was the legitimate princess of the current dynasty. Even if it was really the princess who hit someone, no one dared to say anything.

Jing Rou hadn't considered this; her goal was to ruin Jing Anle's reputation. Tears immediately welled in Jing Rou's eyes, while her maidservant retorted, "You're someone close to the princess, so naturally you'll speak up for her."

"Stop talking, Can'er." Jing Rou, her eyes already brimming with tears, spoke up to stop her, "You mustn't be disrespectful to the princess."

It turns out that Ning Wen is called Can'er now, which is probably a name given to him by Jing Rou.

Tsk tsk, Jing Anle shook his head and said, "It's a real pity you don't go into opera. Baihualou should save a spot for you. If you were to go on stage, you would definitely be the lead!"

At this moment, Jing Rou, relying on the presence of so many people, did not speak, but secretly shed tears, continuing to play her innocent and pure role.

Xia Tingfu and Luo Wei exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with helplessness; they wanted to leave but dared not.

Jing Rou's appearance completely aroused Qi Zhi's protective instincts. He stepped forward and said, "Although the princess is of noble status, she should not abuse her power and bully others!"

This heroic rescue further convinced Jing Rou of Qi Zhi's feelings, and she whispered, "Prince Qi..."

"Princess, rest assured, with me here, no one can bully you!"

Qi Zhi spoke gently, and everyone present could guess what was going on.

"joke!"

Everyone's attention was drawn to Jing Anle's voice!

Jing Anle smiled lightly, "Why would I need to hit you in some secluded place? If I want to hit you, I'll do it openly and honestly."

The moment the words left his mouth, everyone was taken aback.

After Jing Anle finished speaking, she walked directly towards Jing Rou. Qi Zhi hurriedly shielded Jing Rou behind him, "Princess, what are you doing!"

Those around them were watching intently, expecting a dramatic scene, but Jing Anle turned around and slapped Can'er hard across the face.

Can'er cried out in pain, covered her cheek, and knelt down.

The slap was loud, and everyone was stunned, especially Jing Rou, whose body trembled slightly.

"I'm not the type to suffer in silence, and I don't need to resort to underhanded tactics behind people's backs!" Jing Anle said, but her eyes were on Jing Rou.

Jing Anle had no idea how domineering and charming she looked right now. She snorted and said, "Afang."

Afang then came to her senses and said, "This servant is here!"

"I'm not in a good mood today, so let's skip this class and go!"

"Yes."

Everyone was left looking at each other.

Xiao Heng, who was lying on the roof, saw everything clearly. He had wanted to go down and help, but now it seemed there was no need for him to show up. He smiled and looked at Jing Anle's back, "Such a temper, like a little wildcat!"
