Quick Transmigration: Irresistible Beauty
Chapter 132 - 132: Loyal Maid Who Died Because of Beauty (2)

Yi Yan was talking as if she were standing on the highest stage of morality, as if saying to Yue Ran that she had said all of this for her own good.

Yue Ran had nearly rolled her eyes in front of the female protagonist.

Seriously, why did the female protagonist not say this to the original body in her last life? Did the female protagonist not just want the original body's arrogance to set off her own nobility? What nonsensical, high-sounding words!

Now that there was a sense of crisis, the female protagonist had become the kind of person who talks as if everything is for the other person's good. It was really disgusting!

Yue Ran knelt on the ground with a plop, and she knew that her knees must be bruised when she heard the loud knock against the ground.

"I am sorry, Madam," Yue Ran lowered her eyes and said softly. "It was this servant who embarrassed you."

With a suppressed voice and sadness in the girl's eyes, the beads of water that welled up in her eyes rolled down her face like falling stars.

Yue Ran: My knees hurt a lot. It is so painful.

Ruan Ruan: Master is so pitiful.

Yue Ran's face began to turn red, and her eyes were now a little swollen, which made her look pitiful and lovely, as if she had just been bullied by others.

Everyone in the room watched the scene in silence, and Yi Yan also realized that her image might collapse if she did not do anything. She did not want to ruin the kind image that she had set up with hard work here just because of a dowry maid, so she quickly pulled Yue Ran up.

Yi Yan let out a sigh as she pretentiously said, "I am also doing this for your own good."

"Ran Ran knew that Madam usually loves Ran Ran the most," Yue Ran replied readily.

"It is good that you know," Yi Yan said. "I just want you to change your usual impatience and irritability to something more stable, especially when you are almost old enough to get married."

The female protagonist's fox tail came out so quickly. So this was what Yi Yan had planned to say after going for a long roundabout.

Since the female protagonist had come to the imperial palace, Yue Ran had always gotten along well with everyone around her. When Yi Yan has something to do, she will always take Yue Ran with her wherever she goes.

In the eyes of others, Yue Ran is always understanding and very loyal to Yi Yan. But Yi Yan still blamed Yue Ran for being impatient and irritable.

But speaking about marriage in front of others, Yue Ran's cheeks suddenly turned a suspicious pink, the color of peach blossoms.

"Are you shy? Is that why you actually blush like this?" Yi Yan asked with her usual generous smile.

The maid next to Yi Yan, named A Wei, was the one who had spoken out with a teasing smile when she heard her master's words: "Madam does not know yet, but sister already has someone she likes."

Just now, Yue Ran deliberately told A Wei that she had someone she liked, all to pave the way for this present moment.

Ruan Ruan: My Master is so smart!

Yi Yan looked at Yue Ran in surprise. Yue Ran had usually stayed by her side and did not have much chance to meet foreign men, so how could there be someone that she liked without her knowing about it?

"Yue Ran has someone she likes?" Yi Yan asked.

"Yes, Madam," Yu Wei answered in confirmation. "Sister Yue Ran has said it herself before. This man is actually Sister Yue Ran's cousin."

"Oh, is that so?" Yi Yan asked as she shifted her gaze to Yue Ran to confirm whether what Yu Wei said was true or not.

Yue Ran immediately blushed red and quickly lowered her head slightly as she nodded.

"Um," the girl answered shyly.

Seeing Yue Ran's shy look from the beginning to the end, like a girl in the spring of her love, Yi Yan also felt relieved, and she planned to find a chance to tell the third prince to let Yue Ran get out of the palace to get married to the person she likes.

As long as Yue Ran's beauty does not attract the third prince, then everything is fine.

It was only then did Yi Yan laughed with relief and joked around. She no longer looked as serious as she did before.

"Yue Ran, you have followed me for so long, so why did you never mention it to me before?" Yi Yan asked in a teasing tone.

Yue Ran only pursed her lips and did not speak. The blush on her face told everyone everything.

"Madam, can you not see that Sister Yue Ran is just shy?" Yu Wei laughed.

"This is nothing," Yi Yan said to Yue Ran. "You have nearly reached the age to get married, and women will always get married when they get older."

Listening to this, everyone else in the room started to make fun of Yue Ran.

Yue Ran covered her face in embarrassment, lowered her head shyly with ears that started to turn pink, and stomped her feet angrily as she said, "You are all bullying me, hmph."

The young girl stomped her feet and turned around all at once. There were no flaws in her movements.

And because she had run away in messy steps with her head down, she had failed to see anyone in front of her. Thus, she happened to bump into Lu Heng, who was peeping and eavesdropping outside the door.

Anyone who saw this only thought that it was an accident. After all, Yue Ran did not have eyes at the back of her head.

But there are not so many coincidences in the world. If there is, then everything must have been premeditated.

Yue Ran had learned of Lu Heng's presence as early as when he first stepped into Yi Yan's courtyard.

Seeing that Yue Ran was about to fall, Lu Heng stretched out his arms reflexively and looked down at the charming girl in his arms.

Lu Heng felt as if she had caught a falling immortal from the heavens and into his arms.

The girl's cheeks were red, her slightly swollen eyes looked pitiful but full of affection, her lips were as red as blood, and there was starlight in her eyes.

The girl in his arms now had a different kind of beauty, like an unstained immortal that had been corrupted with evil, turning into a seductress that specialized in sucking the souls of men. She was full of charm.

After realizing what had happened, Yue Ran hurriedly broke free from Lu Heng's arms, and Lu Heng also withdrew his hand, albeit reluctantly. He hid the fingers that had touched the girl's skin in his cuff and rubbed them carefully, as if he could still feel the lingering and residual touch of the girl's smooth and delicate skin.

Kneeling on the ground with her head lowered, Yue Ran easily revealed her exquisite curves and good figure.

"Please forgive me, Your Highness; this servant did not bump into you on purpose." Yue Ran quickly explained her foolish actions. There was a sense of hurry in her slightly trembling voice.

Yi Yan walked over. Even if she felt uncomfortable when she saw that scene with her own eyes, she could tell that Yue Ran did not mean it and that everything that had just happened was only an accident.

"Your Highness, are you okay?" Yi Yan asked worriedly. "Yue Ran is always like this, so do not blame her."

Lu Heng only looked at Yi Yan silently.

How could he bear to blame her? He was still reminiscing about the touch of beauty just now. It was a pity that the time was too short.

"It is okay," Lu Heng said. "This prince has just arrived, and this prince heard you, and the rest were joking around inside the room. This prince wonders what you are talking about so happily."

When Lu Heng was right outside the door, he had actually heard everything and even felt a little sad in his heart.

He did not expect that Yue Ran already had someone he liked, but Lu Heng was confident that he could compare with that person.

He, Lu Heng, was a prince, the prince who was destined to be an emperor in the future. There would be no woman who would not like him.

The female protagonist, Yi Yan, no longer wants Yue Ran to stay here, and Lu Heng could also see it. Therefore, it was impossible for him to ask Yue Ran to stay here now.

Yi Yan firmly believed that her childhood sweetheart relationship with Lu Heng was more important than anything else and that Yue Ran was just a little prettier than her. So the third prince must not like Yue Ran.

"It was nothing important," Yi Yan answered Lu Heng. "It was just that Yue Ran, this girl, has someone she likes." Seeing that Lu Heng did not have any superfluous emotions on his face and did not respond to her words, Yi Yan continued, "Your Highness, Yue Ran has been with me since I was a child, and now that she has reached a marriageable age, I just want to ask Your Highness to give me some kindness so that Yue Ran can get out of the palace to get married when the right time comes."
