Chapter 246: No One Will Be Naive Forever
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhang Miaozhen felt that the Eldest Miss Liu in front of her seemed to have really changed her character as the rumors said. After the fairy maiden who was originally unworldly was dragged into the mud, she gave up struggling and became a mortal woman?
Liu Shimei turned around and chuckled, “You’re asking me what to do?”
She winked at Zhang Miaozhen and said, “If she dares to lay a hand on me, I’ll beat her back. If she wants to argue with me, I’ll tear her apart. It was that simple! She’s just a Princess, and my fiance is a Prince!”
Simple and brutal!
“But you didn’t care about this before.”
“The past is the past.” The smile on Liu Shimei’s lips became shallow and carried some ridicule as he said, “No one will be naive forever. Sooner or later, they have to grow up, right?”
She said this to deliberately make people think: The reason why she changed her personality was because she had been hit by life. She had encountered the injustice of reality and ended up like this. She had given up on herself. It was because her thoughts had changed and were different from before.
She could not let people suspect that she had reincarnated!
After hearing her words, Zhang Miaozhen confirmed her thoughts and sighed slightly. “To be honest, I was very surprised when I heard that something happened to you, Eldest Miss Liu.”
Liu Shimei looked at her and saw a look of pity on her face.
Zhang Miaozhen looked up at the sky outside the eaves and said, “Let me make it clear, I’m not looking down on King Dun Yu’s stupidity, he’s just sick. But how should 1 put it, I feel quite regretful that you were engaged to King Dun Yu.”
“Oh?” Liu Shimei raised her eyebrows and asked, “But Miss Zhang, if I’m not pulled down from the position of the Crown Princess, how could you possibly become the candidate for the Crown Princess?”
This was not a lie!
One had to know that whether it was the Emperor, Empress, or the Crown Prince himself, they were all very satisfied with the original Liu Shimei. If it was not for Liu Shimei’s mishap, becoming the Crown Prince’s Consort was a sure thing!
Zhang Miaozhen also believed it and smiled, “But… So what?”
Without waiting for Liu Shimei to say anything, she extended another invitation. “Eldest Miss Liu, would you be willing to come to my room to eat some snacks?”
“Alright!” Liu Shimei readily agreed.
Zhang Miaozhen was just being polite and wanted to change the topic. She did not expect Liu Shimei to be so straightforward.
After all, Liu Shimei had never gotten close to anyone in the gatherings and banquets of all the n.o.ble ladies in the Capital City.
Pride and aloofness were exactly what Miss Liu stood for!
However, she did not react. She smiled faintly and said, “Please!”
After entering the house and sitting down, Liu Shimei placed the book she was reading on the table. Zhang Miaozhen looked at it curiously and asked, “What is this book? Can I read it?”
The number one socialite in the Imperial Capital was not undeserved. It was not surprising that Liu Shimei would carry a book with her. Zhang Miaozhen also liked to read, so she was naturally interested in Liu Shimei’s books.
Liu Shimei smiled and said, “As you wish.”
Zhang Miaozhen took the book whose cover had been modified to become blank and opened it.
When she saw the words and drawings on the inside page, she said in surprise, “This is… A medical book?”
“Yeah.” Liu Shimei took a sip of tea and explained, “If you’re interested, you can borrow it. However, this is the collection of the Imperial Academy of Medicine, you can’t lose it. Otherwise, Imperial Physician Shu would probably smash my head with his medical box!”
Her humorous words made Zhang Miaozhen burst out laughing.
This person’s temperament was extremely gentle. Even when she laughed like this, it was still gentle. It looked like a spring breeze was blowing on her face..
