Quick Transmigrating Second Female Lead's Counterattack

Chapter 39

The prime minister and the crown prince were basked in worry, especially after Wenren Yunfei returned to the crown prince estates and found that everyone’s reaction to her had changed to that of ridicule and pity, causing her to erupt.

When the empress had heard of the situation, she instantly had people take back all expenses given to the crown princess. She had even announced a decree that the crown prince estate’s female owner could only be Wenren XunMi. Although she was the empress, her family standing wasn’t strong enough. If she wanted her son to sit on that throne, she needed a prominent and strong backing. It wasn’t that she didn’t like that prime minister’s second miss. But Wenren XunMi, no matter her status as the prime minister’s legitimate daughter or the duke;s granddaughter, would always be superior, even more so after the Emperor had given the title of Princess RuoJia.

The character Jia represented kindheartedness, beauty. Along with Ruo (gentle), not even a princess from the royal family has been gifted with such a title. This kind of woman was the best match for her son’s crown princess.

Wenren Yunfei obviously didn’t know what the empress was thinking. She only knew that she had been metaphorically slapped in the face.

Her resentment and anger couldn’t be restrained. Moreover, the crown prince was still in the midst of feeling regret so didn’t promptly comfort her. The results of this was the crown prince estates falling into chaos.

XunMi didn’t know what was happening outside. All she knew was that when she woke up, she heard numerous different versions of the “Ugly Duckling Turns into a White Swan”. Of course, the most sensational news was her own mother, for publicly divorcing her husband. Not only did the woman divorce her husband, but she had divorced the renowned prime minister. This was the news of the year!

In capital city’s largest restaurant, XunMi wore a muslin veil with Xiao Xiang behind her and her brother next to her. She leisurely listened in on storyteller downstairs recounting yesterday’s events. But when she heard the news regarding herself, the expression on her face cracked. What did they mean by she was an embarrassment, not daring to be seen in public? What did they mean that it was her that was shameless, that she had entrapped the kindhearted fairy from the ninth level of Heaven?

How unreasonable of them to say that she was a bitch destroying other’s happiness? XunMi didn’t even have the time to be angry before Wenren Lu rushed down to argue with those speaking.

XunMi helplessly placed a hand to her forehead. It seems like there was no chance for her to quietly admire the ancient landscape. However, at least she was still able to partake in a strong interest of hers, slapping people across the face. XunMi knew that this tactic could only be committed by someone resentful of her. She was curious to see exactly much animosity for her the enemy possessed.

“You are lying, my sister isn’t ugly. Wenren Yunfei is the one that isn’t on the same level as my sister!” As she went downstairs, XunMi heard her brother’s voice call out. Feeling warm, she thought since there were so many people protecting me in the previous life, then I’ll protect little brother now.

Xiao Xiang stood furious behind her Young Miss. She really wanted to tear off the mouths of those spreading such talks.

In a room on the third floor sat three men in splendidly adorned clothes, their manner suggesting their high status. At the moment, they were coldly watching the scene below. If not because they didn’t want the fairylike person in their hearts to learn of their cruel side, they would have already sent people to kill Wenren XunMi. She was looking for death by daring to scheme against that wonderful fairy.

“Hehe, who in capital city doesn’t know the Prime Minister’s Second Miss was just an undeservingly famous dumb young miss?”

“How could she compare to Miss Yunfei? Miss Yunfei has good looks and a kind heart!”

“I don’t know what is wrong with the Emperor’s eyesight for him to prefer such a useless person?”

The storyteller was Nangong Muchen’s person, specifically here to spread rumors and oppress Wenren XunMi’s news. Early in the morning, Wenren Yunfei had ran to these people lamenting on how XunMi had schemed to humiliate her, even wanting to scar her face out of jealousy. Those men, who only used 0.01% of their IQ to think, immediately burned with anger, deciding on the current plan in front of them.

XunMi stood at the bottom of the staircase, lightly laughing, “This sir, are you questioning the edict of the Emperor? I don’t know what identity you possess to so adamantly doubt His Majesty.” For the female lead, these men are really giving it their all, without a care for their lives. However, no one thought there was anything wrong with this.

A crowd had formed for the argument between the storyteller and the young lad, hoping to watch some excitement. But before they could watch the action climax, a woman in white appeared. She gracefully stood, her hand resting on the railing causing her sleeve to slide and expose a little section of fair skin. That light laughter sounded as if mischievously tapping onto their audience’s hearts.

Where did this woman come from? How come they’ve never seen her in capital city before?

Even though they couldn’t see her full appearance, they could see her uniqueness based on her leisurely elegant air.

“What are you looking at? Is our Young Miss someone you can look at?” Xiao Xiang angrily put her hands on her hips. How could these commoners be so blunt. Seeing his sister coming down, Wenren Lu pushed the storyteller aside and quickly ran to his sister’s side. Worriedly, he pulled on his sister’s sleeve. Those people’s words were too offensive, would his sister be upset?

“Hey, which family’s young miss is this?”

“I don’t know. I don’t think I’ve ever seen her before after so many years in the capital.”

“Looking at her air, she must be a upper status noblewoman. She’s probably a young miss from the royal clan out to play.”

While downstairs was noisy with excitement, the private room upstair was immersed with silence. They weren’t as dumb as those people downstairs. They were the capital’s richest merchant, the most talented scholar, and the head of the secret guards. Intelligence was needed to able to climb to their position.

Just now, they had also heard Wenren Lu’s words. Seeing Wenren Lu’s reaction, they could all ascertain that this woman was Wenren XunMi. Except this Wenren XunMi wasn’t exactly how they imagined. No matter how much they loved Yunfei, they had to admit that Wenren XunMi’s natural air was superior to Yunfei’s. Could this kind of person really be that kind of malicious person?

A piece of doubt quietly formed in their heart but they still didn’t believe in Wenren XunMi. After all, one’s outer appearance could be a lie as well. Since she was wearing a muslin veil, that means she truly didn’t dare show herself.

“Brother BaiLing, we’ll have to trouble you to unmask Miss Wenren’s muslin veil soon. I want to see exactly what she looks like. It must be that her looks aren’t better than FeiFei’s so she wants to cover her face.” Nangong Muchen swayed his folding fan while speaking. Yet his gaze never moved from the woman downstairs.
