Chapter 1746: Chapter 633: The Female Lead Who Was Reversed (Part 22)

If it were under normal circumstances, Yingying would not cooperate with True Master Qingfeng.

Because such a Swindler carries too many uncertain elements.

Once on board, it’s easy to capsize along with them.

At present, Yingying doesn’t have much choice.

After arriving in the Capital City, she keenly sensed that this Small World was faintly rejecting her.

Yingying knew in her heart that it was because an important character in the script had suspicion towards her, leading to her being rejected by the world’s awareness as a smuggler.

This wasn’t the worst part.

Yingying realized that those suspicious of her might just be puzzled as to why she’d insist on marrying the clearly unsuitable Xu Changsheng.

They were probably already speculating that she might possess "foreknowledge."

As a native rustic girl, Yingying’s living environment for the past years was very simple.

There were neither Taoists nor hermits, nor any formidable figures around.

Her "transformation" seemed somewhat unfounded.

Moreover, Yingying didn’t exhibit exceptional qualities "beyond ordinary" since childhood; she suddenly became remarkable overnight.

Knowing how to do business and possessing several secret recipes.

Even her parents, He Youtian and his wife, might not be without doubts.

Yet, Yingying could bring wealth to her family, providing them with tangible benefits.

Some details they simply overlooked.

As for others, if it doesn’t concern them, they certainly won’t meddle.

Only Xu Changsheng, the Empress, and others whose interests were tangibly impacted by Yingying’s existence would inevitably be concerned, speculating over her various actions and words.

If Yingying couldn’t satisfactorily explain why she has "foreknowledge," Xu Changsheng, and others would surely start wondering if she is indeed the real Yingying.

Once the characters start having such doubts, Yingying’s existence would attract the world’s awareness and she’d be directly thrown out of this Small World.

"..." Yingying bit her lip, realizing she was becoming increasingly passive.

Knowing full well that True Master Qingfeng wasn’t reliable, yet she still had to rush for collaboration!

Damn it!

Things were going so smoothly before, why have they suddenly become so difficult?

Yingying’s heart was full of a sense of defeat, she even had a bad premonition: this time she might fail the task!

...

"Changsheng, you’ve recognized your ancestors, it’s time to properly consider matters concerning your wife!"

On this day, the Empress summoned Xu Changsheng into the Imperial Palace.

She looked at her son, whose appearance bore a strong resemblance to hers, with full of loving affection.

"What do you intend to do about Lady He?"

The Empress gently inquired but as she mentioned "dispose of," a glint of cold light flashed in her eyes.

This woman, clearly mismatched with her son, and an ambitious schemer, the Empress truly wished to make her disappear immediately.

In the Royal Family, to quietly make a woman from the inner court disappear is hardly difficult.

The Empress had long wanted to dispose of Yingying, but worried that her son might have feelings for this woman, afraid that a rash move would hurt the mother-son relationship.

Caught in a dilemma, the Empress had been quite hesitant during this period.

"Mother, Lady He is strange!"

Xu Changsheng had been brought back to the Capital City for over two months, gradually adapting to his identity as a Prince.

Towards the Empress, he no longer felt initial fear and detachment.

Perhaps he still felt unfamiliar with his parents but had started to understand closeness and respect towards them.

Seeing his mother lovingly concerned about his marriage, he didn’t conceal it and slowly expressed his suspicions.

"Are you saying that you reckon Lady He might have already known you could be the Prince wandering among the people?"

The Empress slightly furrowed her brows, assuming a serious expression.

"Yes. Her approach towards me was too deliberate!"

Xu Changsheng said sternly, "Mother, it’s not that I’m degrading myself, before my identity was revealed, my situation was undeniably grim!"

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have remained a bachelor for so many years.

At twenty-two, even the most ordinary farmers in Xujiaping looked down on him, unwilling to marry their daughters to endure hardship with him.

Yet Yingying, young, beautiful, wealthy, skilled, with a Princess Consort cousin, still insisted and schemed to turn raw rice into cooked rice.

Being calculated by such a premium unmarried woman, Xu Changsheng felt neither flattered nor secretly pleased; instead, he was filled with an ineffable panic and suspicion—
