Chapter 13 Twilight Town 6
Chapter 13 Twilight Town 6
"What? What?" Si Xiaxia was very excited. Her novelist's intuition made her quickly imagine a damsel in distress rescuing a hero!
“We first met when he was eleven years old. I noticed that Anan was bullied every time he returned to the palace, especially by the people in Shen Yingsi’s palace. They beat him up really badly every time. Anan was seriously injured that time, covered in blood, especially the wound on his forehead, which didn’t heal for a whole month. There were too many people bullying Anan. I couldn’t beat them all, and I couldn’t stop them.”
Si Xiaxia was shocked: "So you?"
“Anan is my only friend, and I can’t ignore it when he’s being bullied. So I decided to catch the kingpin first. I sneaked into the East Palace and smashed his forehead with a stone when no one was around.”
Si Xiaxia swallowed hard, startled: "You ambushed him, he probably didn't know it was you, right?"
Wen Li asked in confusion, "How could I not know? I even went up to warn him after I hit him. Since then, Anan has never been bullied again after returning to the palace."
What did you warn him about?
"Anyway, it wasn't anything nice said, I can't remember."
Si Xiaxia's vision went black. The protagonist didn't have Stockholm syndrome, so it must be her imagination.
"But you've offended him so many times, if he were to be reborn, wouldn't you be the first one he operates on? After all, you were the one who laid a hand on him. But host, why do I feel like you're not afraid of him at all? You're really not afraid of death or pain," Si Xiaxia asked疑惑地.
Of course not, she was afraid too. But for some reason, the thought that the person was Shen Yingsi made her less afraid. Perhaps it was because he gave her such a kind and easy-going impression.
Among the people of the Great Jin Dynasty, those who are of the same generation as the Crown Prince or younger, who didn't grow up listening to the legends of His Highness the Crown Prince?
His Highness is kind-hearted and treats his servants well; His Highness loves peace and is adept at persuading enemies to surrender through negotiation; His Highness loves his people like his own children, and would rather cut back on his own expenses than let the suffering people go hungry.
Wen Li was only half-convinced by these rumors, but Shen Yingsi left an image of a pushover in her mind.
After they met for the first time, Wen Li's impression of him was further deepened.
She climbed a tree branch and threw a stone she had prepared at him as he was reading the memorial. Blood flowed, and Shen Yingsi spotted her immediately.
She was a little flustered; after all, that was the Crown Prince! She could easily be beheaded. But the next second, Wen Li instantly became fearless again, because she heard him laugh and say, "It's alright, miss, I'm fine."
"Could it be that he turned to the dark side but still maintained the quality of repaying evil with kindness? However, it's not certain whether he has been reborn. I'll test him again another day."
That's what she said, but Si Xiaxia always felt that Wen Li was just being perfunctory.
The room was exquisitely furnished with various carved wooden furniture pieces, and a square daybed covered with a brocade quilt. Behind a screen, a square table carved with plum blossoms and two armchairs with backrests were placed, on which tea and snacks were laid out. The room was filled with expensive incense, its fragrance wafting into the air and soothing the soul.
Sigh, this is all the smell of money!
Wen Li couldn't help but sigh, picking up a piece of pastry and putting it in her mouth. Before she could even enjoy it, she heard Wen Mingzhu crying next door, and vaguely heard Zhao Sicheng's voice comforting someone.
Wen Mingzhu didn't want to cry, and the more she cried, the more her face hurt. But when she thought about Ying Si seeing her like this, she couldn't bear it.
Wen Li quickly pressed her ear against the wall, trying to hear more clearly. Fortunately, the house wasn't very soundproof.
"It's alright, the pearl will disappear in a few days."
"Mingzhu, look at me, I'm even uglier than you."
Wen Li tried hard to suppress her smile, and then she heard Wen Mingzhu's tearful voice: "Fourth brother must have seen it, waaaah, my face looks like a pig's head now."
Zhao Sicheng felt so sorry for her that he wanted to hold her in his arms, but he could only gently comfort her, "It's okay, Mingzhu. Even if you're a pighead, you're still a cute pighead."
"You think I'm a pig's head too!" Wen Mingzhu cried even harder.
Zhao Sicheng was at a loss for words, unsure of what to say: "You're not a pig-head, I am. No, I'm not either!"
Wen Li couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter. Wen Mingzhu next door probably heard this and cried even louder, while Zhao Sicheng tried even harder to comfort her.
"It's all that monster's fault! It actually ambushed us!" Zhao Sicheng said angrily.
"Host, that's really unfair of you." Si Xiaxia, who calls herself the mother of the male and female leads, really likes the female lead. Seeing Wen Li smiling for so long, she couldn't help but interrupt her.
"Sorry, we have a grudge against each other. I'm happy that she's unlucky."
"But she didn't do anything to wrong you, did she?"
Wen Li said with a mocking expression, "You could be the female lead too, Si Xiaxia."
"Huh?" Si Xiaxia didn't understand.
"What I mean is that you're both equally stupid."
Her mother was the first wife, while Wen Mingzhu's mother was the second wife. Wen Mingzhu was the rightful eldest daughter of the Wen family, and she could receive everyone's favor without having to do anything. However, Wen Mingzhu's mother, the servants of the Wen family, and so many people who loved Wen Mingzhu did many things that wronged her.
Based on their past relationship, they are natural enemies! She's unhappy when she's smug and happy when she's down on her luck!
There's no way around it; the female supporting characters in the control group can't help but dislike the female lead who's born with a good life.
Wen Li's retort left Si Xiaxia speechless. This is a male-oriented novel, and the female lead doesn't have many scenes, let alone the female supporting character. No one reading the book will automatically assume the female supporting character's perspective.
Zhao Sicheng really didn't know how to comfort Wen Mingzhu, and the thought of Wen Li gloating next door made him even angrier.
So he yelled, "Wen Li, stop gloating!"
Zhao Sicheng's furious voice rang out, but Wen Li, far from being afraid, leisurely shouted at the wall, "If I hadn't brought you back under the cover of darkness, you would have been walking around the streets with swollen faces. It's one thing that you're rude and ungrateful, but your attitude now is truly shameless."
Wen Mingzhu was too well protected and too thin-skinned; she couldn't stand it and ran away as soon as Wen Li finished speaking.
Hearing the door open, Wen Li quickly opened the window, rested her chin on her hand, and leisurely watched the scene unfold. When she saw Zhao Sicheng from next door chasing after her, Wen Li waved gently and gave him a friendly smile.
When Zhao Sicheng chased after her and saw Wen Li's gloating expression, he became even angrier.
Zhao Sicheng said angrily, "No wonder everyone calls you the plague. It's really unlucky to go on a mission with you."
"Oh, really?" Wen Li smiled as she watched Zhao Sicheng chase after Wen Mingzhu's retreating figure, and casually tossed out a ghost talisman. The next second, Zhao Sicheng slipped, fell face-first to the ground, and the ghost talisman vanished instantly.
"Oh dear! How could you be so careless! It looks like your face will need a while to heal," Wen Li said regretfully.
After finishing everything, Wen Li felt refreshed. She clapped her hands, closed the window, and went to bed, ignoring Zhao Sicheng's angry curses outside the door.
Tonight is destined to be a sweet dream.
The others, including Si Xiaxia, were destined to have sleepless nights.
