Villainess Wants To Turn Over A New Leaf

Chapter chapter 78



Throughout the initial two years when they first arrived to the Great Lin Empire, there were several times when His Highness seemed to be in grave danger, only for those dangers to turn into nothing severe. Later, Tiandong realized that it was this Mr. Ji who had been secretly helping to save His Highness’ life. Since Tiandong could only feel relieved when Mr. Ji was around, and so while he had been absent, only God knows how scared and anxious Tiandong felt for the past two months.

Ji Liang nodded slightly as he kept a cold expression on his face. Arms folded under his sleeves, he kept his cold blade near his chest. He looked unapproachable.

But Tiandong knew that Mr. Ji was only tough on the outside, but actually a softie on the inside, so he was not bothered. He smiled sheepishly for a while, then he ran out again to brew another cup of hot tea for Mr. Ji. When he returned, he heard His Highness ask, “Uncle Ji, what did you hear from Zhaoyang Palace?”

As the third princess Lin Xi had always troubled Song Jinglan, Zhaoyang Palace was generally the primary observation target in Ji Liang’s eyes.

Tiandong immediately raised his ears and looked serious, but he heard Ji Liang say, “It has nothing to do with you.”

Lin Xi had not come to trouble His Highness for some time and since it had nothing to do with His Highness, it must mean that it did not matter at all.

Song Jinglan lowered his eyebrows and asked Ji Liang, “Is it Mingyue Palace?”

Ji Liang was a little surprised, but his surprised expression was also very subtle. Unless one was familiar with him, one would not notice the change in his expression. “Yes.”

Tiandong responded in surprise, “The Fifth Princess? Are they going to do something to the Fifth Princess?”

Ji Liang glanced at him, “The Fifth Princess?”

Tiandong said enthusiastically, “Mr. Ji, you wouldn’t have known, but during the two months you were gone, another princess took a fancy to His Highness!”

Ji Liang: “?”

Song Jinglan: “?”

Unaware of their reactions, Tiandong continued to enthusiastically explain, “This Fifth Princess is different from the Third Princess. She is somewhat of a nice person. You see, the silver charcoal we’re using right now was sent by her. She also gave us some desserts and hand cream. by the way, Mr. Ji, you don’t know what hand cream is, right? It’s actually…”

Song Jinglan had to interrupt him aloud, “Tiandong.”

Then only did Tiandong shut up.

Song Jinglan turned his head and looked at Ji Liang. He asked in a gentle voice, “Uncle Ji, what are they going to do?”

There was no expression on Ji Liang’s face as he repeated all the words he heard.

Song Jinglan did not show much reaction, but Tiandong was completely stupefied by what he heard. When Ji Liang finished speaking, Tiandong could not help but to curse, “Isn’t this too vicious of them?!”

Song Jinglan seemed to be deep in thought, Ji Liang looked at him for a while and asked, “Are you going to help her?”

Song Jinglan did not speak, only smiling slightly. Ji Liang shook his head, “This is not like you.”

Song Jinglan leaned over and picked up the tongs to stoke the silver charcoal in the furnace to make it burn more vigorously. When it was done, he stretched out his hands to warm it over the furnace. The dry cracks on his hand were healing. A faint white plum fragrance wafted from his hands as he warmed them above the warm furnace.

He raised his head and asked with a smile, “Uncle Ji, do you feel warm?”

Ji Liang nodded.

Song Jinglan glanced at the flickering sparks, and smiled, “I also feel very warm.”
