The Eldest Daughter is Delicate and Pretty, How Can She Be a Malicious Supporting Character - Chapter 113

Chapter 113: He’ll Go Crazy

“You always do this. You’re so kind. Is there anyone you won’t help?” Changle whispered to Pei Lingyi as they walked, but when she saw her clear, crystal-like eyes, she couldn’t say those words anymore.

Pei Lingyi’s eyebrows curved slightly, like a pure and delicate pear blossom. Her voice was soft. “Although we don’t know the hardships of others, we should have the ability to empathize with others’ suffering. Just like that Young Master Jiang Li, his behavior and demeanor reveal a refined temperament. It’s likely that he didn’t intend to be in Qingfeng Courtyard.”

“But it’s just a box of pearl powder. Since it can help him in his urgent need, why not do it?”

She always thought of others.

Changle swallowed the words in her throat and affectionately held Pei Lingyi’s arm. “Jiaojiao, do whatever you want. I’ll always be behind you.”

Oh… her Jiaojiao was always so innocent and unaware of the dangers in the world, attracting so many wolves and tigers who wanted to claim her for themselves.
What should she do?

Changle thought to herself that she would be the executioner, killing all those who had ill intentions, so that Jiaojiao could always be carefree and happy.

The malice in her heart was tempted, and she was never a soft-hearted person.

“By the way, do you think the Young Master Jiang Li looked familiar?”

The woman’s gentle voice brought Changle back to reality. She blinked, looking puzzled. “Who? You mean him? He looked familiar?”

“You’re not looking for a substitute for someone you like, are you?” Changle suddenly leaned in, looking suspiciously at her good friend.

“You think I’m like that?” She glared at her, but even that looked beautiful on her.

“Do you think he looks familiar? I didn’t notice.”

Seeing Changle’s indifferent expression, Pei Lingyi thought she probably hadn’t noticed.

It was no wonder, given their vastly different temperaments and the fact that Changle and Xiao Yan didn’t meet often. If Pei Lingyi hadn’t been so deeply affected by Xiao Yan in the past and hadn’t investigated all his information, she probably wouldn’t have believed it either.

His half-brother would appear in the capital city in such a posture.

“By the way, I won’t be able to watch the lanterns with you on the Lantern Festival this year.” Pei Lingyi bit her lip, looking extremely shy.

Changle had known her for many years, but it was rare to see her look so coy and girly.

Changle’s eyes sparkled with amusement as she teased her. “Oh, I thought it was something big. The person in the palace used my name to send lanterns and cloud brocade, and I had to run around without getting any benefits.”

“This miss, if you don’t give me some benefits, hmph, I’ll make sure everyone knows about this.”

“Don’t lie, I don’t believe you didn’t get any benefits.” The girl lightly tapped Changle’s nose with her finger.

Changle pouted and huffed, not feeling embarrassed at all.
The Crown prince had naturally given her good things.

She pulled on Pei Lingyi’s sleeve and whined, “Good Jiaojiao, spring is coming soon, and I want to eat apricot blossom cake.”

Pei Lingyi pretended to hesitate, but eventually agreed when she saw Changle’s pitiful expression. “Not only apricot blossom cake, but I’ll also make apricot preserves for you.”

“Yay! Don’t worry, I’ll take care of things on the Lantern Festival. You two can enjoy the lanterns, and I’ll follow behind you, making sure no one disturbs you.”

After all, it was her good friend’s first time going out to watch lanterns with a man, and that man was her cousin.
How could she not go and join in on the fun?

Hehe, maybe after spring arrives, they’ll have some good news.

Pei Lingyi looked at her with some skepticism. “Are you sure you can handle it alone?”

“Hmm… you’re right. I need to think about who I can ask to accompany me.”

Seeing Changle’s thoughtful expression, Pei Lingyi seemed to be just casually mentioning it, without paying much attention.

“It’s getting late, and I have some things to take care of at home. If you can’t find anyone, just send someone to let me know. I wouldn’t really leave you hanging, would I?”

Changle didn’t expect her to say something like that.

She felt touched, but shook her head vigorously. “No way, now that the crown prince has finally woken up, I wouldn’t dare to ruin your marriage. Don’t worry about me, I’ll definitely find someone to accompany me.”

Seeing Changle’s determination, Pei Lingyi could only smile and drop the subject. After getting into the carriage, she bid farewell to Changle.

Inside the carriage, Luoxu looked at Pei Lingyi, who seemed to have relaxed a bit, and asked puzzled, “Miss, was there something wrong with what you said to the county lord just now?”

“You wouldn’t understand. Changle is my close friend, and there are some things I don’t want to discuss with her openly. But I want to subtly hint at something to her. After what I said just now, she should give me a satisfactory answer on the Lantern Festival.”

She leaned back in the carriage, her fingers unconsciously fidgeting with her handkerchief. After a pause, she continued, “But today, I did get an unexpected gain.”

“Miss, you’re talking about the Young Master Jiang Li from Qingfeng Courtyard?”

“Yes. I didn’t expect someone as proud as Xiao Yan to come up with such a plan to humiliate others. But it’s fitting, given his reputation in the Underworld.”

“Sometimes, living like that is worse than death. People like him are the most ruthless.”

In the past, he vented his anger on her like that. But now, wasn’t he still drawn to her?

Men, they’re all worthless.

“Do you think Xiao Yan knows that his good brother has returned to the capital?” A malicious emotion suddenly arose in her heart, and she quickly asked Luoxu.

Luoxu thought for a moment, recalling the information she had gathered earlier, and shook her head.
“Heir Xiao was so disgusted with that concubine that he abandoned Young Master Jiang Li in the brothel when he was just a child. I’m guessing Heir Xiao probably never thought he would survive until now.”

“Yes, the son of an enemy reappears in front of him after many years. What would his attitude be?”

“If he finds out that the woman he loves has contact with the son of his enemy without knowing the truth, what would her attitude be?”

The girl’s eyes sparkled like stars in the night sky. Under such a gaze, Luoxu struggled to suppress the itch in her heart and spoke gravely, “I think, given the Heir’s temperament, he would go crazy.”

“Yes, he would go crazy.”

“That would be amazing, wouldn’t it?” Luoxu looked at her miss in surprise. She rarely showed her emotions so openly. Although she smiled brightly, her eyes were cold enough to make one’s heart tremble. It was a kind of indifference, a superior indifference.

Could it be that the miss approached Jiang Li today just to use him to deal with Xiao Yan?

Author’s note – I should have mentioned it when I wrote this chapter: the female lead is just using Jiang Li, ahhh, he’s not the male lead, she’s just using him to stimulate the male lead (although it hasn’t been written yet).
