Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 233: I Will Definitely Help You

Chapter 233: Chapter 233: I Will Definitely Help You

People say that a woman’s heart is as unfathomable as the ocean floor; in reality, for Chu Qianli at this moment, the hearts of men are still truly elusive.

One moment they are calm and conversing with you, and the next, they are fiery with rage, as irascible as thunder.

Chu Qianli had been chased out by Feng Yexuan.

When Leng Ji escorted her back to Qianyun Pavilion, he looked at her, his words stopping at the tip of his tongue.

But in the end, he said nothing.

Qianqian hurriedly ran after Leng Ji, and it was not easy for her to coax from Leng Ji’s lips the words that were spoken in the side hall of Wuzhou Garden.

"Princess..."

"Don’t call me Princess," she detested this title the most.

Out of helplessness, Qianqian exhaled and softly said, "Princess, even if you are upset with the Prince, please don’t take it out on your servant!"

Chu Qianli glared at her, but this time, her anger faded.

Why should she make things difficult for Qianqian when she had been wronged by Feng Yexuan?

In fact, in this Prince Residence, even in this world, apart from her grandfather and maternal uncle, Qianqian was truly kind to her.

This young girl sincerely treated her as her master, without any ulterior motives.

"I’m sorry."

"Princess, you shouldn’t say such things to me. I was merely speaking my mind. If you want to vent, go ahead, but make sure to feel better after," Qianqian was optimistic.

Even though she had nothing—no status or identity—she could still live joyfully every day.

Chu Qianli shook her head with a smile, "I don’t understand how you can be so carefree and happy."

"Living comes with its share of grievances and sufferings, inevitable for those of us who are not strong enough," said Qianqian.

You could say that Qianqian was optimistic, or that she simply saw things more clearly.

"Grievances are what others give you, but life is what we give to ourselves. Whether we’re happy or not, it’s still one day, so why always spend each day in sorrow?"

Qianqian was a chatterbox—once she started talking, there would be no end.

"Princess, I’ve heard a famous doctor say before, ’If you’re unhappy, you’ll live a shorter life!’ So, you must not be unhappy!"

For the sake of longevity, she must smile at herself every day!

She didn’t want to be a short-lived ghost!

"Yes, unhappiness leads to a shorter life, that’s a good thought," reiterated Chu Qianli with a shallow smile, "From now on, whether happy or not, I will smile. Eventually, with enough smiles, I might genuinely become happy."

Although even she didn’t believe her own words.

But at least, Qianqian was right about one thing, weren’t they not strong enough?

Because they weren’t strong enough, they needed to compromise, to rely on others for a living.

"Actually, I know the Princess’s heart is still troubled."

Qianqian noticed the smile on her lips did not reach her eyes.

"Princess, do you feel like the Prince doesn’t like you?"

’Like’? Suddenly, Chu Qianli found these two words ridiculously funny.

What did ’like’ even mean to the men of this era?

To them, a woman was but an accessory.

When they liked her, they would cherish her for a while, but once the novelty wore off, they’d completely abandon her.

"Princess, don’t be so disheartened. I actually believe there’s a knot in the Prince’s heart concerning you."

"During the time the Prince was gravely ill and unconscious, it was supposed to be the Princess who stayed by his side, but everyone said it was Yu Linglong, and that Chu Huaiyu."

"Anyway, they downright took credit for your contributions, and because of the Imperial Decree, not a single person by the Prince’s side was willing to speak up for you!"

Of course, Qianqian also knew that even without the Imperial Decree, there were few who would speak a word of justice for the Princess.

Everyone has their own ambitions; everyone is vying for all the rights they can get.

Who would feel for their Princess Consort?

"Princess, rest assured, I will certainly help you!" Suddenly, she clenched her fists, her small face filled with determination!

Chu Qianli did not take it seriously and simply waved her hand: "There’s no need for you to help with anything... Oh wait, for now, bring me some paper, ink, brush, and inkstone."

...That day, Chu Qianli sat in her room, behind the desk, continuously drawing.

She was drawing the people on the smartphone screen.

Thankfully she had almost been a jack of all trades before, with her drawing skills being quite remarkable.

A few drawings were enough to essentially replicate the scenes she saw on her smartphone screen.

She always had to save her grandfather; if Feng Yexuan truly did not agree to trade with her, then she might have to seek out Feng Qihe.

Of course, saying she could even offer her own body in trade was just a spur-of-the-moment outburst.

If it were in front of Feng Qihe, that would be absolutely impossible.

Although she was a modern person with open-minded views, she wasn’t that open.

When it came to Feng Qihe, she didn’t even want him to touch a single finger of hers.

"Qianqian, is there a way to get a small fan and dry the painting a bit for me?"

But there was no response from Qianqian outside.

Chu Qianli frowned, put down her brush, and took a glance outside the window.

She then realized that it had already gotten dark outside.

She looked at her mechanical watch – 9:20.

This late?

"Qianqian?"

But still, there was no response from outside.

Chu Qianli went outside, the courtyard was empty.

It was only when Qianqian was absent that she suddenly realized her Qianyun Pavilion was void of other people.

Even the guards were absent today; it was as if she had gained freedom.

That man’s thoughts were fickle; she didn’t want to guess them, nor did she have the energy to guess at the moment.

"Qianqian." Chu Qianli called again.

The girl was nowhere to be seen, not even a trace of her in the food court.

Without Qianqian today, there was no food or ingredients in the food court.

Chu Qianli then remembered that the food they usually ate was taken by Qianqian from the main kitchen and then prepared by themselves in the food court.

Apart from Qianqian, her Qianyun Pavilion had no other maids; Qianqian did everything.

As for Chu Qianli, since she had her bracelet space, she never cared about food and drink.

She would eat if there was food, and if not, she would just take something from her bracelet.

No need to worry at all.

"Qianqian?" Now that Qianqian was not here, suddenly, even her heart felt hollow.

It turned out that having been in the Prince Residence for so long, Qianqian was truly the only one who had stayed by her side.

When she was around, she constantly complained of her incessant chattering and noise.

But suddenly with the absence of her lively voice, it seemed, indeed, unfamiliar.

"Where the hell did Qianqian roll off to?"

Chu Qianli suddenly felt irritated, and after the irritation, a sense of unease quietly rose.

Some images slowly became clear in her mind.

Didn’t Qianqian say she wanted to help her?

What did she intend to do?

Unease swept through Chu Qianli’s heart once more, and she immediately turned and headed towards the main gate of Qianyun Pavilion.
