Quick Transmigration: Irresistible Beauty
Chapter 133 - 133: Loyal Maid Who Died Because of Beauty (3)

After Yi Yan finished speaking, Lu Heng looked at Yue Ran, the protagonist of their topic.

Yue Ran was still a little scared when she accidentally bumped into the third prince just before, and now she had lowered her head and did not dare to look up at Lu Heng at all.

The young girl's small hands were pinching the hem of her sleeves, and the small veins on the back of her snow-white hands were clearly visible from where Lu Heng could see them. She looked a little nervous.

Feeling the third prince looking over, Yue Ran's body trembled slightly. This action was only seen by Lu Heng.

It looks like he scared the little beauty.

"Unexpectedly, without noticing it, a few years have passed, and Yue Ran has grown up to reach a marriageable age," Lu Heng said.

The man's eyes were gloomy, and he pressed the tip of his tongue to the roof of his mouth after speaking in a rather unclear and obscure tone.

Meanwhile, Yi Yan was ecstatic. She thought that Lu Heng had agreed with what she had just said. Sure enough, the third prince still cared about her the most.

"So," Lu Heng said again. "Who does Yue Ran like?"

"About this, I, your servant, am not very clear about it either," Yi Yan replied in a gentle tone. She turned her head to the young girl with a lowered head and said, "Yue Ran."

Hearing Yi Yan calling her, Yue Ran raised her head slowly. Her pair of inky black eyes were clear and limpid, and she looked shy with a pink blush on her face, like a girl immersed in love.

"Replying back to Your Highness and Madam, the person this servant likes is this servant's cousin," Yue Ran said. "This servant met him several times before entering the Yi Mansion, but this servant has not seen him after that. However, this servant's cousin sometimes writes letters to this servant to keep in touch."

The original body does have a cousin who likes her, which is the male supporting character of this world, but the original body's heart and ambition are actually higher than the sky, and she does not like him, a poor commoner, that much at all.

"It turns out that you two are childhood sweethearts," Yi Yan said with a smile. She emphasized the two words "childhood sweethearts" to Lu Heng as if giving him some kind of implication to decrease his liking for Yue Ran, if there was one. "You two are a really good match."

It was a pity that Lu Heng did not hear the female protagonist's implications at all. He was thinking in his head that Yue Ran's family is actually a low-aristocratic noble family, while her cousin must be a poor person who has a very low family background.

This cousin of hers actually dares to covet Yue Ran. A poor peasant actually dares to covet a noble phoenix! This poor person is really a man who eats soft rice!

(*Man who eats soft rice: a man who relies on his wife or girlfriend to feed him; a man who is supported financially by a woman.)

Lu Heng was already angry when he heard Yue Ran's words, and Yi Yan's implications had actually added fuel to the fire blazing in his heart.

Lu Heng's voice sounded a little bit aggravated as he forced out the words, "You two really are a good match." He breathed in before continuing, "But no matter how you see it, Yue Ran is still a maid from the imperial palace. She had made great contributions by serving her master, and the Yue family is pretty good too, so how could a poor man be worthy of her status?"

Hearing this, Yi Yan only thought that the third prince did not like Yue Ran's cousin's identity.

"This may not be a bad thing," Yi Yan said. "After all, the most important thing still lies in Yue Ran's feelings. What do you think, Yue Ran?"

Both Lu Heng and Yi Yan looked at Yue Ran at the same time.

Yue Ran only smiled innocently, and her bright eyes seemed to look as if she were yearning for her future life with the one she loved.

"This servant does not care what his status is," Yue Ran started. "This servant only hopes to grow old with him forever. This servant once read the poem from Master Ye that says, One birth, one world, a couple for a lifetime." The girl's tone was a little dreamy as she continued, "To be a couple for a lifetime, to be a couple that loves one another till the end, this is my only wish. So this servant hopes that in the future, there will be a person who treats this servant like this. My cousin had also given me this promise before." There was a short pause before she said, "He said that he would only have me as his wife alone for the rest of his life."

A young girl's feelings are always like poetry. She hangs her head shyly as she talks about her dream and her yearning for the future.

The male supporting character, Pei He, had indeed promised the original body like this before. But then, who knew that he would break this promise in the future when he met the female protagonist? He even treated such a married woman very well; no wonder he is an infatuated male supporting character who would give his all to the female protagonist.

Then again, the original body also did not care about this so-called promise of Pei He since she wanted to climb into the bed of the male protagonist, Lu Heng. And she succeeded in doing so, only to die at the female protagonist's hands due to the female protagonist's strong jealousy.

After hearing Yue Ran's words, Lu Heng only thought that the reason why Yue Ran wanted to marry her cousin was only because of her cousin's promise to her of being a couple for a lifetime, which had confused the young girl's heart. He was pretty sure that Yue Ran did not actually like her cousin that much in terms of her affection for the opposite sex.

But for such a simple promise, he, the third prince, Lu Heng, was destined to be able to give it to her for the rest of his life. However, this does not mean that he would let Yue Ran go so easily.

The shy appearance of the young girl in front of him made Lu Heng feel sour in his heart. And such a beautiful expression on the young girl's face also does not belong to him but to another man.

Something obscure was churning in the male protagonist's dark eyes. It was a strong possessive desire to plunder the young girl in front of him with vicious means.

Yi Yan listened to Yue Ran's words and saw the young girl's eyes full of longing.

Although she and Lu Heng could not be a "couple for a lifetime" like Yue Ran had said, the young man had also given her his own precious and sincere feelings, which were priceless.

Yi Yan looked at Lu Heng a little obsessively, but she could never imagine that what Lu Heng had in mind at this time was about how he could get her dowry maid.

"If that was the case, then Yue Ran has met a really good match," Yi Yan said. "This was the one thing that most women in the world could only think about but never ask for."

Lu Heng turned the ring on his finger with dark emotions brewing deep in his eyes.

If the head eunuch were here at the moment, he would definitely say with emotion that Lu Heng looked exactly the same as the emperor when he was young. They were worthy of being a pair of fathers and sons.

"Now that Yue Ran has not yet reached a marriageable age and the palace also has a stipulated age for leaving, letting Yue Ran out so rashly like this may let other people living in the palace think wildly," Lu Heng said, as if explaining things to Yi Yan to let her understand his thoughts, but was actually thinking of a reason to make Yue Ran justifiably stay longer in the palace. "This prince also does not want others to become jealous of you and bring you trouble."

Love words came as soon as Lu Heng opened his mouth, which made Yi Yan feel both happy and shy at the same time. But unfortunately, Lu Heng did not see her at all, and he only focused his attention on Yue Ran's figure from the corner of his eye.

And here, Yi Yan still thought happily in her head full of pink bubbles of love.

Sure enough, Lu Heng was still thinking about her everywhere, so she should also not let him down.

"Okay, then let us wait for the right time," Yi Yan said in reply to Lu Heng's words. "There is no rush."

Yue Ran: Pfft...

Yue Ran had to wonder if Yi Yan could still say the same thing in the future.

"Afterwards, this prince will pay attention to whether this person is worthy of entrustment so as to give you an accurate statement," Lu Heng said.

Lu Heng: I still need to pay more attention to my rival in love.

Although the female protagonist, Yi Yan, felt a little weird, she did not think too much about it.
