267 Xie Changsheng Regrets

At this moment, Xu Linglong and Xie Changsheng were still in Wanning City.

In the beginning, the two of them were testing each other, especially when Xie Changsheng abandoned Xu Linglong in the bandit incident. The already fragile friendship between the two of them suddenly became much more fake.

Xie Changsheng did not know that Xu Linglong had been reborn. She only knew that Xu Linglong had a portable space on her body. Time flowed very quickly in the spatial pocket, and there was also Myriad Spirit Water.

In the novels she had read, the portable spatial pocket was endless, and the spiritual spring could cure all illnesses. It could easily grow top-grade medicinal herbs that were hundreds of years old.

Therefore, even if Xie Changsheng did not like Xu Linglong, she still had to pretend to be nice to her because she had such a good golden finger.

Xu Linglong was also using Xie Changsheng. When she found out that Xie Changsheng was from the Xie family of Dongling County, she deliberately approached her.

“Everyone in the Xie Manor is an idiot. They actually chased out the person who might bring boundless luck to the Xie Manor. From what Xie Changsheng said, they’re already in danger.” Xu Linglong sneered in her heart before rejoicing. “That’s good too. I originally wanted to replace her identity. Now that she’s dead, there’s no evidence. It’s even easier to make my move.”

It was no wonder that Xu Linglong still had to scheme like this even though she had a portable spatial pocket. It was really because that spatial pocket was a little strange.

Every time she planted herbs in it, she would discover every few days that the next batch of herbs would mature later and their quality would be even worse.

Even the spiritual spring water had become less magical. Moreover, it no longer emitted water recently. She only had half a vat left and had to calculate every drop.

However, if she replaced the identity of the Third Miss of the Xie family, she would become a noble of the West Wind Nation in the future. Whether she had this spatial pocket or not was no longer important.

“Xu Linglong, you’re too rash. Now, the two of us are trapped in the Duke’s Estate and can’t leave. We might even die here!” Xie Changsheng really regretted it. She shouldn’t have believed in the halo of the female lead!

At that time, Xu Linglong had nurtured good rice grains in her spatial pocket. Xie Changsheng thought of the original novel where the female lead used expensive medicinal herbs and interacted with the Lord.

They even cured the Lord’s leg. The two of them fell in love with each other and began to run around in love.

Who knew that the real development of the plot was not as romantic as the book.

Xie Changsheng instigated Xu Linglong to send the rice to Wanning City and even met King Xiaoyao by chance. He was indeed gentle and talented.

However, their deliberate approach also aroused King Xiaoyao’s vigilance. After receiving their rice grains, he actually detained them in the Duke An Manor.

On the surface, he was inviting them as guests, but in reality, they were under house arrest.

As for her father, he was just a small official. He was controlled by King Xiaoyao to rise by a small level and directly ignored her life and death.

In fact, the Old Master of the Xie family had even hinted to Xie Changsheng, “With our family’s status, it’s impossible for us to hook up with the Imperial Family’s nobles, so you have to seize the opportunity this time. Not to mention being King Xiaoyao’s main consort, even if you just want to be a good lady, it’s fine. You can’t be worse than Xu Linglong, right?”

Xie Changsheng was speechless. She did not want to marry a cripple!

The book said that King Xiaoyao looked gentle on the surface, but his deeds were also vicious.

Moreover, the female lead’s spiritual spring had not completely healed King Xiaoyao’s leg, so King Xiaoyao was really crippled from the beginning to the end.

He was not pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger at all. He was just a pig.

She was not the female lead. She was not the type of protected heroine that even if her body and heart were tortured, she could still be fine in the end.

She was a transmigrator, so there would definitely be better people waiting for her. Why did she have to hang herself on such a pig?

Moreover, it was to share a man with another woman. It was such a dirty rotten deal. Whoever wanted it could have it.

Xie Changsheng thought about those useless things, but Xu Linglong was exceptionally calm.

“What are you panicking for? We’ve been here for so long. Have you encountered any difficulties?” Xu Linglong and Xie Changsheng had been fighting for a few months. The two of them could not stand each other, and she disdained to pretend in front of Xie Changsheng.

In any case, Xu Linglong could tell that Xie Changsheng was a brainless little girl. However, she might have the same fortuitous encounter as her.

Still, Xie Changsheng was too stupid. It was obvious that she had not experienced much tempering before. All kinds of schemes were written on her face, and she thought that she was strategizing.

During this period of time, Xu Linglong had quietly poached a lot of information from Xie Changsheng.

She roughly knew that Xie Changsheng was definitely not the original Second Miss of the Xie family. However, Xu Linglong kept this matter in her heart and only planned to use it to threaten Xie Changsheng when necessary.

“Don’t tell me you’re targeting King Xiaoyao? That’s interesting.” The corners of Xie Changsheng’s eyes twitched, and her tone was filled with disdain. “It’s fine if King Xiaoyao is paralyzed, but didn’t you see his face? He’s mean and has such a huge scar. He’s even blind in one eye. He’s simply the most ugly man in the world! Even if he’s a Lord, don’t-”

The original novel had also described the Lord’s appearance, and it was similar to what Xie Changsheng had seen.

Xie Changsheng did not finish reading the story.

However, according to the general theory in the novels, regardless of whether the male lead was crippled or ugly, he would eventually become a perfect man.

His appearance would definitely be comparable to the peak of a modern boy band.

However, seeing King Xiaoyao now, Xie Changsheng really could not bring herself to visualize it.

Xu Linglong pursued a luxurious and rich life, but Xie Changsheng only wanted to live in peace in ancient times and complete the mission of slapping the vicious supporting actress in the face. Then, when she saw the male and female leads reunite, the plot god would judge her mission successful and send her home.

Therefore, Xie Changsheng actually did not have such a huge plan for Xu Linglong. What she wanted was to matchmake Xu Linglong and King Xiaoyao and disgust Xu Linglong at the same time.

Xu Linglong glanced at Xie Changsheng coldly. “You don’t think that just because King Xiaoyao lives in the Duke An Manor and that he’s a useless Lord, right?”

According to Xu Linglong’s memories of her previous life, although King Xiaoyao had always lived in the Duke An Manor, he actually had quite a bit of power behind him.

As the Xu Linglong in the novel had been fighting with her family for her entire life, and she knew very little about the outside world, she roughly knew that King Xiaoyao later rebelled.

Moreover, it was said that the rebellion was successful.

Since he could successfully rebel, it meant that King Xiaoyao was a very powerful person.

Not to mention his looks, even if he was really ugly and difficult to look at, Xu Linglong would still feel that this was a man worth relying on.

This was because it was said that after King Xiaoyao successfully rebelled, he did not massacre Wanning City, let alone kill those who supported the Emperor in the past. Instead, he maintained the current situation.

However, Xu Linglong really did not know much else. The only thing she knew was that even if she was imprisoned by King Xiaoyao, her life would not be in danger.
