Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 251: Do you think he’s really doing it for Chu Huaiyu?

Chapter 251: Chapter 251: Do you think he’s really doing it for Chu Huaiyu?

Yu Linglong’s face instantly changed: "What does it have to do with you?"

After a moment of thought, although Yu Linglong was reluctant, she still scoffed derisively.

At least this despicable woman in front of her had failed too!

It wasn’t just her own failure!

"You know that Yexuan slapped me, but do you also know why he slapped me?"

She absolutely wouldn’t allow herself to be the only one suffering.

If she was going to suffer, then she would drag Chu Qianli down to suffer with her!

"It was because I hurt Chu Huaiyu that he slapped me. He has never slapped me for your sake! Chu Qianli, do you realize that you can’t compare to Chu Huaiyu at all in his heart?"

But Chu Qianli didn’t care at all, her gaze still cold and indifferent.

"Since you know that the person blocking your way is not me, but Chu Huaiyu, you should go bother Chu Huaiyu. What’s the point of provoking me?"

Yu Linglong raised an eyebrow: "How can there be no point? Seeing you in a sorry state, I don’t know how happy it makes me!"

Shared sorrow is better than sorrow alone.

Chu Qianli regarded her coolly.

Yu Linglong sneered: "Don’t pretend to be calm. In fact, you’re also feeling miserable inside, I know it."

"You’re wrong, I really, don’t feel miserable."

There wasn’t a trace of mocking laughter in Chu Qianli’s eyes; her gaze when looking at Yu Linglong was as calm as water from beginning to end.

Basically devoid of any sentiment whatsoever.

Her gaze moved away from Yu Linglong’s face and settled on her shoulder.

She said indifferently, "Do you really think that the Prince slapped you just because you hurt Chu Huaiyu?"

"If not for Chu Huaiyu, could it be for you?" Yu Linglong huffed.

Chu Qianli remained dismissive in the face of her sarcasm.

"Yu Linglong, you were a very smart person in the past, at least when I knew you, your cleverness and wisdom were one in a hundred among women."

"What do you mean?" The smile at the corners of Yu Linglong’s mouth gradually faded.

"Why wouldn’t he injure anywhere else, but specifically your shoulder blade?"

Chu Qianli turned and began to walk slowly in another direction.

"You should think about it yourself. As for me, no matter who he did it for, I don’t care, so please don’t bother me."

Yu Linglong followed after her.

She couldn’t accept it!

"Impossible! He couldn’t possibly have done that to avenge you! If he liked you that much, why would he let you become just a Concubine!?"

"Chu Qianli, do you think you can undermine me this way? Don’t be so smug, I won’t believe it!"

Yet her voice gradually grew weaker.

The resolution in her eyes was also slowly fading.

The night before that day, she had encountered Chu Qianli in the palace and had slapped her.

Chu Qianli’s shoulder blade was already injured. After she slapped her, Chu Qianli’s injury visibly worsened, and her face turned pale.

But that night, Yexuan clearly ignored Chu Qianli.

However, that night she had used bewitching music on Chu Huaiyu, and Yexuan had already destroyed her ancient zither with a single slap.

It could be considered as avenging Chu Huaiyu.

The next day was inexplicable.

If it was truly for Chu Huaiyu, he should have struck much harder at that moment.

Besides, to postpone vengeance until the next day, it wasn’t Yexuan’s style.

He sought revenge on the second day... it was obvious, he wanted to avenge someone, but he didn’t want that person to know...

The more Yu Linglong thought about it, the more miserable she felt in her heart.

She suddenly really couldn’t accept it.

In Yexuan’s heart, it was already enough not to be compared to Chu Huaiyu.

After all, Chu Huaiyu was the daughter of Long Qianyue.

Moreover, Chu Huaiyu was also one of the three great talents of the Imperial City, renowned alongside herself!

Considering everything, Chu Huaiyu’s qualifications were certainly so impressive that they were depressing!

But how could she not even compare to Chu Qianli?

Merely the daughter of a singing girl!

She absolutely refused to believe it!

"Chu Qianli..."

"Miss Yu? What are you doing here?"

Feng Mingzhu had no idea where she had come from, but after glancing at her, she chased after Chu Qianli.

"Little Lili, wait up, hey! I have something to tell you, Little Lili..."

Yu Linglong was left behind by them.

With Feng Mingzhu here, any words she had were forced back down.

Feng Mingzhu caught up to Chu Qianli and patted her shoulder, "What’s wrong? Why are you ignoring my calls?"

"You are a princess of the Imperial Family, and I have no need to interact with you excessively," Chu Qianli spoke with an indifferent tone, detached.

Feng Mingzhu glanced at her and complained somewhat resentfully, "At the very least, I was constantly helping you just now. Although I couldn’t be of much help, that’s because I have no power or influence, it’s really not my fault."

"But I did my best, Little Lili, can you not be so cold to me? I just want to make friends with you."

"Sorry, I have no desire to make friends," Chu Qianli remained very indifferent.

Feng Mingzhu pouted, looking wronged, "Do you think I’m useless, that even the title of a talented girl is something I bought with money, so, you look down on me just like everyone else?"

Chu Qianli paused in her steps, turned back to look at her, and almost wanted to laugh.

"Bought with money?"

"You don’t know?" Feng Mingzhu immediately grinned and ran over, "I can’t help it, who made me incompetent at everything, yet so concerned with face!"

But, by telling others that she bought the title of a talented girl with money, is that really being concerned with face?

Chu Qianli was somewhat speechless.

However, this Princess Feng Mingzhu was indeed different from other women of the Imperial Family.

In fact, she was not the least bit annoying.

It’s just...

"Those who get close to me often meet with a bad end. If you want to stay out of trouble, I advise you to keep your distance from me."

She continued walking forward.

"You think I want to find you? I have no friends! Otherwise, I wouldn’t bother with you."

Feng Mingzhu followed beside her with a smile on her face.

"As a princess, even without the title of a talented girl, there are many who would be willing to befriend you, how could you possibly have no friends?"

"All those people are after my status, where is the sincerity in that?"

"I won’t be sincere either," Chu Qianli circled around the flower beds, still paying her little heed.

"But you’re different from them, you’re very straightforward, not at all hypocritical, and not like them, who only know how to please me."

"Do you have Stockholm syndrome?" Chu Qianli suddenly stopped, turned back, and looked at her.

Feng Mingzhu almost ran into her, but fortunately, she reacted in time and stopped.

"What is Stockholm syndrome?" she asked curiously.

"A masochist," Chu Qianli said somewhat irritably, "someone who doesn’t cherish those who treat them well and actually likes those who are bad or even abusive to them?"

Feng Mingzhu rolled her eyes, wanting to explain.

However, Chu Qianli heard some noise and her gaze darkened slightly.

Her eyes swept across the nearby flower beds.

With an imperceptible wave of her hand, "Fine, we’ll talk about whether to be friends or not later. But I really don’t like to be pestered. Ninth Princess, can you leave me alone for a bit?"

There was something... amiss behind that flower bed?
