She accidentally flirted with the villain and was fiercely criticized as the regent for forcibly mar

On the other side.

The second woman's voice was soft and trembling: "I saw it clearly! I was a few steps away from the crowd and standing on the steps. I saw Princess Cui's actions clearly. She was very calm at the time; she deliberately pushed me in the chaos!"

"It's terrifying! Just thinking about how she has that gentle and refined face, yet she's so ruthless behind people's backs, makes me..."

"Don't say it!" The woman covered her mouth. "Cui Jingwei is the eldest daughter of Grand Tutor Cui and the Empress Dowager's goddaughter. She has a noble status and is always favored. She is also good at pretending. Others may not believe your words, and may even think that you are deliberately spreading rumors to slander her."

"If the Cui family and the Empress Dowager find out anything, you, your father, and your brothers will all be in trouble! Forget about it, just pretend you know everything!"

The second woman's voice was filled with panic: "I dare not tell anyone, but I'm really scared. What if Princess Cui finds out I saw everything?"

The second woman reassured her, "Don't scare yourself! If she had any idea what was going on, she would have come after you already. She wouldn't be letting you stand here unharmed!"

"Forget about it, cheer up, and especially try to act natural in front of her. Don't cause yourself any trouble!"

The woman, let's call her A, kept taking deep breaths, trying to calm herself down: "I...I know."

Jiang Ruining was in the next room and heard everything clearly.

Shao Yunting did indeed have such a disfigured younger sister, who appeared in the book in the middle to later part.

At that time, the Jiang family treated Chu Jin as their own daughter. When they went out, they introduced her as "the apple of the Jiang family's eye." However, in the eyes of noble families who valued blood ties and family connections, her status was not as noble as that of the biological daughters of high-ranking families.

After realizing his intentions, Shao Yunting's mother clearly expressed her opposition.

"Your father passed away suddenly before you grew up, and the family fell from its peak to a great height, becoming nobility overnight. To support the Shao family, it's not just our mansion, but the entire Shao clan."

"The Chu woman is good, but she has no parents, brothers, or clansmen to help her. Marrying her would be of no benefit to you or the Shao clan. However, taking her as a concubine would be a disservice to her character and beauty. Therefore, I can only firmly oppose you having any further contact with her!"

The male protagonist outwardly agreed, not wanting his mother to cause trouble for his beloved. However, he secretly used his meritorious service to request an imperial decree for marriage, forcing his family to agree to the marriage.

This act of acting on his own initiative displeased Shao's mother, who then became distant towards the female lead.

As the male lead's only biological sister, Shao Yunxi was once the most favored by him. However, after the female lead appeared, her favor dwindled, and due to her disfigurement, her personality became sharp and mean. Therefore, she was full of hostility towards the female lead, and her words were always barbed.

As the female lead in a sweet romance novel with an radiant aura, she naturally has to use her wisdom and personal charm to defeat her in-laws one by one and win them all over.

Shao Yunxi's disfigurement was merely a pawn to highlight the female lead's wisdom and to win over her in-laws who looked down on her as an orphan; it was foreshadowing.

As for who harmed Shao Yunxi?

The author didn't write it at all.

The readers don't care at all.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ruining was shocked. When words become a small, operating world, every link comes alive. Someone knows the real culprit behind Shao Yunxi's disfigurement. Behind the original owner's twisted nature, there are also many deliberate slanders, suppressions, schemes, and misunderstandings...

In her shock, she accidentally broke off a flower branch.

Click!

It alerted the neighbors!

"who!"

"Who's over there!"

Jiang Ruining meowed in a high-pitched voice, pretending to be a stray cat passing by.

Without wasting a second, she grabbed her skirt and ran forward at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.

What if those two see my back?

The novel is full of scenes where people deliberately scheme and frame others in order to protect themselves.

These girls, raised in prestigious families, are all incredibly cunning. She doesn't want to be framed by them and become mortal enemies with that Princess Cui!

We wandered through the covered walkways and gardens, making several turns.

Just when she thought she was safe, bang!

I ran right into a wall of people.

His body was as hard as an iron plate.

The impact made her see stars, and she felt dizzy and disoriented. Covering her face, she complained angrily, "Is it made of iron? It's so hard..."

The person who was hit grunted, "Your head's pretty hard too."

That sound!

That subwoofer!

Jiang Ruining's mind went blank.

The only character described like that in the book is Shao Yunting, the male protagonist whose appearance and physique she has imagined countless times!

After so many days of transmigrating, I have finally met the real person.

Of course, you should look at it carefully.

Without waiting for a reply, she abruptly looked up.

Then, her eyes were uncontrollably glued to him.

The pale white arrow sleeves and the tight waist belt accentuated his broad shoulders and narrow waist, creating a clean and upright silhouette. His brow bones were deep and distinct, his nose was high and straight, his thin lips were sensual, and the curve of his jawline exuded a youthful and refreshing air. His eyes were bright, as if the midday sun had been shattered into them, and even when he wasn't smiling, they seemed to be full of affection.

His temperament possesses the gentle elegance of a scholar, the toughness and decisiveness of a military general, and the composure and wisdom gained from the ups and downs of officialdom.

The light and shadow from the lush foliage above him fell upon him, making him look like a celestial being descended to earth. Compared to him, all the young heartthrobs in the entertainment industry instantly became tasteless bean sprouts!

Faced with such a handsome man, Jiang Ruining's heart raced uncontrollably, her face flushed red, and her eyes turned bright yellow.

That waist is so slim, cinched tightly by the belt!

That handsome face is so alluring!

Those eyes of a person can drown you!

This voice could make someone pregnant...

Just as Jiang Ruining's mind was filled with images of fluttering quilts and swaying gauze curtains, another scene suddenly flashed before his eyes: beneath his slightly loosened clothes were his glistening collarbones, his chest and abdominal muscles clearly defined, sexy yet not exaggerated.

The scene suddenly shifted, and a beautiful, almost bewitching face entered her mind. A pair of slightly upturned phoenix eyes looked down at her with a cold, ambiguous smile, as if he would reach out and strangle her if she dared to have even the slightest thought of coveting Shao Yunting!

Ah!

Jiang Ruining shuddered in fright, and the erotic images in her mind and the sudden flash of yellow light in her eyes vanished without a trace.

Why does my neck feel cool on a hot day?

He couldn't help but rub his arms, which were covered in goosebumps.

Terrible!

The threat of the evil spirit was no joke; it had penetrated deep into her mind!

Could they still be watching her from the shadows?

Or was it his bodyguard?

They must all know that she and Xiao Che had been intimate, so in their eyes she should be the possession of the Demon God, not someone else could covet. Similarly, she has no right to covet other men.

He was filled with hatred, yet he had no way to deal with the god of death.

She could only pray that he would soon be entangled with the Empress Dowager and the young emperor's people. As long as they didn't cross paths, the ruthless emperor, busy with his affairs of state and vying for power, would surely forget about an insignificant nobody like her quickly. Then... she could do whatever she wanted! Hehehe~

Thinking about it this way immediately brightened my mood.

Just as he was about to bow, he found something pressing against his body.

Looking down, she realized that his hand was still supporting her lower back. The warmth of his palm penetrated her thin summer dress, reaching her spine and straight to the top of her head. The distance between them was almost zero!

The heat made her face burn, and she was also extremely flustered.

She pushed him hard, quickly backed away, and created distance.

In my heart, I'm screaming: Don't come any closer! The male lead belongs to the female lead! Don't look! Don't look! Aaaaaaah!
