Situ Qingyu wasn’t the only one who had suddenly changed his attitude towards her, Luo Junyan had started coming to the prime minister’s residence everyday with gifts. They were all precious rare treasures.
Ning Shu became even more suspicious. These two were trying to woo her? She covered her face, excited. She had never imagined that, as a person who didn’t even have five points of charm, she would one day have people trying to woo her. She had never received such treatment when she was cannon fodder.
However, her excitement was soon crushed. The guard said, “Those two made a bet to see who could get you to fall in love first. Don’t ask me how I know, I just do. Fine, I was eavesdropping.”
Ning Shu felt stupid for being excited. It turned out to just be a simple bet of whoever gets the beauty’s heart gets to keep the beauty.
Ning Shu: …
As expected, dogs couldn’t change their habit of eating sh*t.
For a moment, she actually thought that she had gained charm, but the male leads were only attracted to this female lead body. It had nothing to do with her personal charm.
Now Luo Junyan was hovering around in front of her again.
As Ning Shu took in his tyrannical chairman-like expression, she knew that he was about to start sprouting some thematic words.
“Woman, come with this prince. This prince can give you a noble status and a more luxurious life.” Luo Junyan offered his hand to Ning Shu. “This prince will cherish you.”
“I hear there’s over thirty concubines in your residence already. If this humble girl went, won’t this humble girl be immediately torn apart by those concubines?” Ning Shu made a fearful and helpless expression as she shook her head. “There’s not that many women here.”
“This prince is willing to disperse his back courtyard for you. You’re the only one this prince wishes to have!” Luo Junyan was quite stirred up, his spit almost hit Ning Shu’s face. Ning Shu hastily shielded her face with a handkerchief, leaving only her big, glossy eyes showing as she said, “But this humble girl doesn’t dare to believe Prince. And what are those other women to do if they’re chased out?”
“From now on, you will be this prince’s only woman. This prince won’t touch any other woman. You don’t need to worry about those women, this prince will give them a sum of money that will be enough for them to live on.” Luo Junyan promised passionately.
Ning Shu: My fuck, what a scumbag! All he cared about was fucking, after that, he’d chase them out without a care?
How sickening.
Ning Shu was extremely disgusted with him. He had never considered how difficult it would be for those women once they were chased out. This was the extremely strict ancient era that still upheld the three principles and five virtues fastidiously. Even when the female lead was living happily with the seven little dwarfs, they still had to find a remote place to carry out their lives in order to avoid public judgement.
Ning Shu picked up the cup on the stone table and threw the water at his face. Scumbag, you should wash your dirty soul!
“Ah! What happened to my hand? Why’d it go out of control? Wuuwuuwuuu…” As she wiped at her tears, she ran out of the pavilion, ignoring the expression of shock on Luo Junyan’s drenched face.
“Miss, wait for this servant, wait for this servant ah!” Yue Lan chased after Ning Shu. “Miiiisss~”
Ning Shu ran all the way back to her room. Yue Lan had ran so hard she almost couldn’t breathe. As she gasped to catch her breath, she stammered, “Miss, w-why, why do you never wait for this servant?”
Ning Shu drank a cup of tea, then gave a long sigh. Following that, she turned towards Yue Lan and said, “Your miss is about to leave this place. What will you do?”
“This servant will follow Miss. In life, this servant will be Miss’s servant, in death, this servant will be Miss’s ghost. Miss, please don’t leave this servant behind.” Yue Lan’s expression was resolute.
Ning Shu didn’t want to deal with those two men anymore, so she decided to hurry and leave while she still could. However, before she left, she had to first give the general and the prince a nice big trauma.
The fact that she had managed to avoid being raped by these two counted as completing half the task since in some ways, she had managed to avoid the original storyline.
She couldn’t delay things any longer. If those two ended up running out of patience and directly raping her, she wouldn’t even have a place to cry.
