Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
On the way back, because the weather was gradually getting hot again, when Li Xiaoran saw someone selling watermelons by the roadside, she became interested.
Seeing this, Shu Ruyue also got out of the carriage and the two of them chose watermelons.
As Li Xiaoran looked at the watermelons, she wondered if she should buy one to try first. If possible, she could buy a few more to bring back so that her family could try them.
Just as she was about to hug a watermelon, she sank into the ground.
Everyone around exclaimed. Shu Ruyue wanted to grab Li Xiaoran, but she only caught a piece of fabric. Then, she saw watermelons sinking into the ground with the soil.
“No! Xiaoran!” Shu Ruyue shouted.
Luo Cheng also noticed the commotion. Seeing this, he quickly called someone to dig the soil to save Li Xiaoran.
When Li Xiaoran landed, she felt that this place wasn’t a naturally formed cave. Instead, it was like a man-made tunnel.
After her previous encounter in Shatai Village, Li Xiaoran was no longer flustered when she encountered such things. Instead, she tried her best to protect her vital parts.
After an unknown period of time, Li Xiaoran fell onto a pile of straw.
Even so, Li Xiaoran still fainted from the powerful impact.
When Li Xiaoran woke up again, she was already in a carriage. It was very quiet and there was no one else around.
Just as Li Xiaoran struggled to get up, she realized that her hands and feet had been tied up and there was a rag in her mouth.
Upon closer inspection, her clothes had been changed, and the rings and bracelets on her hands were gone!
Seeing this scene, Li Xiaoran frowned and became a little anxious.
Thinking of what had happened previously, Li Xiaoran was already certain that someone was targeting her.
They wanted to capture her in order to use her to threaten Luo Cheng!
After figuring this out, Li Xiaoran calmed down and began to sense the emotions outside.
There were two people driving in front of the carriage. One was very calm, while the other was very emotional.
At that moment, the curtain was opened and a person walked in.
After Li Xiaoran opened her eyes and saw the person who came in, she was immediately shocked, then she felt that everything made sense.
“What? Aren’t you surprised to see me?!” The person was none other than Li Xiaoran’s cousin, Li Yan.
“I’m not surprised to see you!” Li Xiaoran said calmly, “Tell me! Why did you capture me?”
“Do you think I want to capture you? I actually want to kill you!” As Li Yan looked at Li Xiaoran, she suddenly revealed a very sinister smile.
Li Xiaoran could clearly feel the killing intent erupting from Li Yan and knew that she was telling the truth. She really wanted to kill her!
“Why? You’ve been the one scheming against me from the beginning to the end. Why do you still hate me so much?” Li Xiaoran asked calmly.
“Why? You actually want to ask me why? Tell me, why is it always you?! How am I inferior to you? Why am I inferior to you even after living two lives?” Li Yan thought of something and became even more agitated.
When Li Xiaoran heard Li Yan’s words, her guess was confirmed and she came up with a plan.
“I said a long time ago that you’re not me and I’m not you, so you can’t have the life I have! Li Yan, do you know what the biggest difference between us is? Do you know why you’re inferior to me in every way?
“In what way am I inferior to you? In terms of looks, I’m prettier than you, and in terms of scheming, I’m better than you! Why does the heavens favor you?! In your previous life, you married Pei Xuanxin and I married Luo Cheng. In the end, you became an official’s wife and had a beautiful family. On the other hand, I was used by Luo Cheng to block a sword and abandoned by him. But in this life, I’ve clearly changed. Why are things still different?” As Li Yan questioned Li Xiaoran, her eyes turned red and she glared at Li Xiaoran.
As Li Xiaoran stared at Li Yan, she mocked with a sneer, “Isn’t that simple?
Because you’ve never put in any effort from the beginning to the end, but still wanted to reap the benefits! Who do you think you are? Why do you think you can have whatever you want? If you don’t put in any effort, you’ll never get anything in return! You only know how to take, but you don’t know how to give!”
Li Yan retorted loudly, “That’s impossible. I contributed! I married Pei Xuanxin, lived a hard life with him, and studied with him. I contributed!”
“Is that so? What did you contribute? As far as I know. after you married him.
you used Pei Xuanxin’s knowledge to receive benefits from others. Your food and accommodation were all provided by Pei Xuanxin’s classmates. Even when you accompanied Pei Xuanxin to the capital to take the examination, you were using Pei Xuanxin to obtain benefits for yourself! You’ve always been a selfish person who don’t think for others at all. Under such circumstances, who do you think is willing to share honor and disgrace with you?” Li Xiaoran retorted calmly.
Li Yan was stunned for a moment. Then, she thought of what she had done and immediately shook her head crazily.
She strangled Li Xiaoran as she said hatefully, “No, it’s not like that! I was his wife, so there was no reason for me not to accept the money! Besides, didn’t I do all that for Pei Xuanxin’s sake? What’s wrong with that? I just want to live a good life. I’m not wrong! I know what to do now. As long as I kill you, I can live a good life! It was the same in my previous life. If I kill you, I can replace you and snatch your wealth and glory!”
With that, Li Yan laughed out loud.
Li Xiaoran felt that it was getting harder and harder to breathe. As she looked at the crazy Li Yan, she wanted to say something, but she couldn’t.
At this moment, a white light flashed in front of Li Xiaoran’s eyes. Her consciousness suddenly returned to Hele Village and she watched as Li Yan married Luo Cheng. Then, she watched as Luo Cheng married Li Yan and abandoned her.
Although she had gourmet food every day, Li Yan still felt that her life wasn’t good enough. She wanted a lot of money, but Luo Cheng never gave her a single copper coin.
Therefore, Li Yan began to argue with Luo Cheng!
Unfortunately, all of this was useless.
Later, someone found Li Yan to ask about Luo Cheng. Since the other party gave her a lot of silver in return, Li Yan told him everything about Luo Cheng without hesitation.
Li Yan thought that no one knew what she had done, but she didn’t know that Luo Ziyang was monitoring her every move and reporting it to Luo Cheng. Because of this, Luo Cheng’s attitude towards Li Yan became colder and colder..
