Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 614

Chapter 614: Chapter 611: Killing Intent_1

"The Princess of Zhen is indeed alluring. At first, the most favored Prince of Daliang fell for her charms. Now she parades the streets with the wealthiest merchant in the world, as if afraid others wouldn’t know how she attracts men."

Liu Ruofu spoke through gritted teeth, every word dripping with hatred.

Lu Baohua frowned tightly, disapproving of Liu Ruofu’s words, and gently advised, "At the beginning, it was that Daliang Prince who made the mistake, not the Princess of Zhen who intentionally embarrassed you. Let bygones be bygones. See, now you don’t have to marry far away, you stay here in the Capital, and we have each other as companions; isn’t that wonderful!"

Though the Daliang Prince wasn’t the best match, it was King Liang... Liu Ruofu didn’t even want to look at him directly.

"If it weren’t for the fact that I am pregnant, I wouldn’t marry a coward like King Liang." Liu Ruofu thought as she raised her hand to her belly. Her father, King Xian, said she and King Liang were victims of a scheme by the Crown Prince. But who is to say Bai Qingyan wasn’t behind it?

Now, her father had everything ready. Soldiers from Nandu were arriving in the Capital under the pretense of attending the wedding banquet. Soon, the Capital would be under her control, and she no longer wanted to endure anything.

Seeing that Bai Qingyan was only accompanied by a lowly merchant from Wei Kingdom, Liu Ruofu wanted to vent her frustrations. She lifted her skirts and walked towards Bai Qingyan. Lu Baohua tried to stop her but could only follow along with the maids in haste.

Bai Qingyan noticed the aggressive Liu Ruofu and halted her steps, causing Xiao Rongyan to stop as well.

"Princess of Zhen..." Liu Ruofu greeted Bai Qingyan with a fake smile.

Bai Qingyan stood with her hands behind her back, arrogantly nodding. "Does the Princess of Nandu need something?"

"Princess of Zhen!" Lu Baohua stepped forward, paying proper respects to Bai Qingyan while trying to pull Liu Ruofu back.

"The Princess of Zhen is indeed the epitome of beauty, with countless suitors bowing at her feet. From a foreign prince to a foreign merchant, it seems the Princess welcomes them all." Liu Ruofu, pregnant with King Liang’s child, couldn’t believe Bai Qingyan would dare lay a hand on her.

Although Bai Qingyan was titled a princess, she wasn’t of true royal blood. Would she dare harm the child of the Imperial Family in Liu Ruofu’s belly?

Furthermore, as her father said, so long as the Crown Prince and the Empress were at odds, and if King Liang’s plan succeeded, Liu Ruofu’s child would be the future Crown Prince. King Liang was easier to manipulate. The future of the Jin Kingdom would be at her command. Why should she fear Bai Qingyan, who couldn’t even bear children!

Lu Baohua, shocked by Liu Ruofu’s words, widened her eyes. Had Liu Ruofu gone mad?

Lu Baohua quickly smiled at Bai Qingyan. "Princess of Zhen, please forgive the Princess of Nandu. She had some wine with me earlier; she might be drunk! Please don’t take it to heart."

Regardless of the situation, Bai Qingyan had been personally titled by the Emperor. Even if Liu Ruofu were to marry King Liang, she was still only a commandery princess before the wedding.

Bai Qingyan stood with her hands behind her back, looking at Liu Ruofu as if she were an idiot. Just as she was about to speak, Xiao Rongyan laughed, "Be careful, Princess, not to disturb the fetus."

Xiao Rongyan’s tone was very sincere.

Liu Ruofu’s face turned pale as she hurriedly shielded her belly. Lu Baohua was startled and scolded Xiao Rongyan sharply, "Mr. Xiao, though you are a merchant and friendly with the Crown Prince, I regard you as a gentleman. How can you tarnish the Princess of Nandu’s reputation in public!"

"Does the Princess of Nandu think she can publicly offend and slander the Princess without regard for the hierarchy?" Xiao Rongyan smirked coldly, his eyes full of malice. The coldness crept up like little snakes to Lu Baohua’s ankles, causing her to stiffen, forcing her to subconsciously step back.
