My Highness Hears My Thoughts, And Still Plays Along-Chapter 454: Unbearable Injustice
Even Yu Feiyin, who was accustomed to the deceitfulness of human nature and the dangers of the world, showed a hint of coldness and anger in her eyes, feeling some disdain.
"The actions of the Lin Family are truly contemptible. It’s one thing to strategize and rely on one’s skills, but they go so far as to deceive emotions, smiling and interacting like a family on the surface while secretly stabbing in the back. Such hypocritical and vicious behavior is simply nauseating."
"What a pity for the Bai Family, what a pity for Miss Bai."
Yun Ran felt a bit saddened as well. She had wondered before, how could Bai Ruoxi have been taken with someone as fame-chasing and heartless as Lin Qianqiu?
At that time, she was the eldest daughter of the Bai Family, adored by everyone, her beauty and talent unrivaled in the Capital City, like the bright moon in the sky, so splendid and radiant. And Lin Qianqiu then was just a destitute scholar, how did he capture her heart?
She used to be puzzled when reading storybooks, why do women always have a special affection for impoverished scholars?
Socialites, noble ladies, the princesses of the world, celestial fairies, even fox immortals and female ghosts, regardless of their origins, were particularly prone to fall in love with poor scholars.
Why is that?
Upon thinking and pondering, it probably was because they were skilled at using sentimental words, poems under the flowers and moon, beautiful and moving vows, to weave a dream filled with fireworks and fantasies for those women. In that dream, feelings were eternal, love was unwavering, and even if the seas dried up and stones crumbled, they would never part.
So they, like moths to a flame, threw themselves in, intoxicated and never waking up again.
Yet scholars were often unfaithful and fickle. Once they soared to success, their names on the golden list, they instantly abandoned past promises, turning into the esteemed son-in-law of noble families.
It’s truly remarkable how they could write the most affectionate and lingering verses, yet perform the most shameless deeds in the world.
Yun Ran thought that Lin Qianqiu probably used his deceiving appearance in addition to these tricks to win Bai Ruoxi’s heart.
She originally thought he was just a scumbag who starts something and abandons it, no different from those scholars who change their hearts once they achieve success—faithless and heartless!
But now it seemed, he was far more ruthless and despicable than those people a hundred, a thousand times!
At least, others only deceived feelings, while he deceived both wealth and life! It’s unbearable!
"Perhaps from the very beginning, his encounter with Bai Ruoxi was a carefully planned scam. There was no serendipitous beautiful encounter, just conspiracy and trickery."
Thinking of Bai Ruoxi, thinking of Lin Wanyue, her heart felt weighed down as if by a heavy stone, suffocating with anger, pain, and grief.
Lin Qianqiu, Mrs. Qin, and all of them.
Yu Feiyin glanced at Yun Ran’s clenched fists, poured a cup of Peach Blossom Brew and handed it to her, looking at her with concern, "Young Master, what do you plan to do?"
Suddenly, a commotion came from the long street below. Yun Ran turned her head to look and casually pulled open the curtain to see a familiar figure.
Wearing silver armor, the cloak fluttered in the wind, sitting proudly on a steed, valiant and spirited.
"Weixi? Is she... escorting or welcoming some important person’s procession?"
Yun Ran’s gaze swept across the long convoy, and she saw another familiar figure.
"Yuan Feishuang? Why is it her?"
Yun Ran was truly a bit surprised, never expecting to see her here.
"Recently, there were rumors that the long princess who married into Rouran was returning to the court to visit her parents and celebrate the Empress Dowager’s birthday. It turns out this long princess, who married far away into Rouran, is the biological daughter of the Empress Dowager."
