Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1404

Chapter 1404: Chapter 1399: Madness

Taking a life is no more than a nod of the head, but this letter... is an even crueler attack on the heart than murder.

If someone had asked Li Tianfu before seeing this letter if she regretted that in order to avenge Lu Tianzhuo, she caused her mother’s death and estrangement from her sister, she would have surely said no.

But upon seeing this letter today, Li Tianfu actually feels regret.

She simply couldn’t accept it, couldn’t accept that even though they were both legitimate daughters, her elder sister could inherit the throne and do as she pleased, while she was forced into a marriage alliance and separated from the man she loved. Even though Lu Tianzhuo could no longer be considered a man, in her heart he was still the one she loved most, the person she wanted to spend the rest of her life with.

What she wanted was very simple, just to have a princess’s residence in Xiliang where she and Lu Tianzhuo could live out their lives in peace.

After Lu Tianzhuo’s death, she hated her mother... hated her elder sister, hated Bai Qingyan... hated the Bai family army, hated the entire Jin Kingdom, hated all of Xiliang! She hated the fact that she had to be sacrificed for Xiliang’s peace. Then what were those soldiers for! She was a princess! She was Xiliang’s most noble princess! She believed it was her elder sister... her mother, Bai Qingyan, and the others who killed Lu Tianzhuo!

She never thought that even if she didn’t go to Jin Kingdom for a marriage alliance, with Lu Tianzhuo’s nature of being willing to even give up his life, he would still want to come to Jin Kingdom to avenge his adoptive father.

Li Tianfu suddenly recalled what her mother said before she died, her mother called her... maddened by a man.

Yes, Li Tianfu was indeed maddened by a man!

Yet it was not just for a man; it was also because her father and mother undervalued her, because... she knew from a young age that her father planned to pass the throne to her elder sister, not her! Her father had different expectations for their upbringing from the start; the things her elder sister had to learn were never taught to her.

So, she hated!

"Princess..." Guan Zhangning spoke softly, "What His Majesty was concerned about before passing was still you. Don’t drown in hatred—that is Lu Tianzhuo’s hatred, not the princess’s! Princess... you are now the only bloodline of Xiliang’s imperial family. Living as His Majesty wished is your duty! His Majesty already arranged everything for you, and although you are young, with loyal servants around, why worry about not finding a suitable companion to spend your life with?"

Li Tianfu’s tears flowed like a broken thread. She placed Li Tianjiao’s letter aside, wiped her tears, and said loudly, "The rest of you, step back. Does the Princess need you standing at the door while she bathes? Are you intending to spy?"

The two soldiers at the door exchanged glances and moved to guard the courtyard entrance.

Hearing the soldiers move away from the door, Li Tianfu curled her lips, looking at Guan Zhangning with mockery, "Xiliang is gone, and so is the Emperor of Xiliang! Why are you, who doesn’t wish to restore the nation, here to rescue a captive princess of Xiliang, when you could live in peace instead? If you had burned the letter when you received it, and never admitted to being a hidden stake of Xiliang, you would still be a general of the Bai family army in the Zhou Kingdom, leading a peaceful life despite any suspicions."
