Liu Shimei remained unruffled. She said calmly, “Are you sure you want me to leave? So you’re certain you don’t want to become the Crown Princess, or perhaps…”
She paused and asked, “To be discovered as a worn-out shoe on the wedding night and immediately relegated to the cold palace as the discarded Crown Concubine?”
‘Worn-out shoe’ and ‘discarded concubine’ were particularly biting words, as if a hammer was pounding heavily on Liu Yan’er’s heart!
Full of mockery!
Liu Yan’er was stunned.
What was she going to do?
If she couldn’t become the Crown Princess, her whole life would be over!
Her mother had been sent to the Grand Chancellor’s Temple, she had lost her innocence, and her father would definitely not take care of her marriage anymore.
Just think about what happened to Liu Shimei, and you’d know; after Liu Shimei lost her innocence, she was completely treated as a useless chess piece by her father!
Therefore, aside from steeling herself to keep going, she had no other way out.
With this in mind, she looked at Liu Shimei, her eyes filled with hatred, and said, “Are you sure you can help me become the Crown Princess?”
“Liu Yan’er, are you out of your mind?” Liu Shimei laughed heartily and said, “You make it sound like I’m begging to send you off as the Crown Princess! Have you ever thought, if you become the Crown Princess, what benefit do I get? Hmm?”
Liu Yan’er’s eyes, swollen like peaches, stared blankly. Her face, which had been fairly decent, was now ravaged by the storm, and with her crying and wailing, she looked like a ghost at this moment!
Much worse than Liu Shimei’s situation back then!
On the night of the Lantern Festival, although Liu Shimei was also in pain all over, she managed to hold her ground, not allowing herself to appear more disheveled.
Liu Yan’er thought for a moment and said, in a daze, “Today’s events were caused by you, right? Are you trying to get back at me?”
“Sure!” Liu Shimei admitted openly, smiling in a rather unhinged manner. She said, “As the saying goes, justice is clear, retribution is certain. If it’s not avenged now, the time will come! Look, when you schemed to bring me down, I resisted the urge to tear you apart. And now… hasn’t fate just handed me a perfect opportunity?”
Suddenly, Liu Yan’er seemed to be injected with a dose of adrenaline, becoming ecstatic. “Exactly! Liu Shimei, as long as I’m alive, I will definitely find my chance. Just wait and see, I won’t lose! I absolutely won’t! One day, I will kill you!”
“Oh my!” Mo’er exclaimed, clearly alarmed. She said, “Eldest Young Miss, is Second Young Miss out of her mind? Right now, she still needs you to help tend to her wounds, and she dares to threaten to kill you on your wedding night?” According to Mo’er, Liu Shimei shouldn’t help Liu Yan’er at all!
But since Liu Shimei had asked for the request of sending Madam Zhang to the Grand Chancellor’s Temple from Liu Fuyun, agreeing to this small matter was not a problem.
It wasn’t that she looked down on Liu Yan’er; she just didn’t think that after leaving Madam Zhang, Liu Yan’er would be capable of much scheming!
Like a bird with a broken wing, even if you let it fly high, it still wouldn’t be able to take off!
After hearing Mo’er’s words, Liu Yan’er glared at Mo’er angrily but also acknowledged that what Mo’er said made sense.
For now, she wouldn’t offend Liu Shimei. When she rose to power, if she didn’t make Liu Shimei suffer more than herself, she wouldn’t be Liu Yan’er!
Thinking this way, she said, “Since it’s Father’s request, I will obey Father’s orders. But Liu Shimei, today you plotted against me, and you’re still sending my mother to the Grand Chancellor’s Temple… even if you treat my wounds, I won’t be grateful to you!”
She continued to be defiant, implying: This is your deal with Father; it has nothing to do with me!
Liu Shimei raised an eyebrow, unfazed. She walked over and said, “Take off your pants!”
Liu Yan’er,
She didn’t want to undress, but her wounds were torn, and how could the medicine be applied without removing her pants?
Anger, humiliation, shame….
