Chapter 78 Mediocre People Are Mediocre Wherever They Go
Liu Yanran struggled desperately, but her hair was held tightly, and she couldn't get free even though she was scared.
He gritted his teeth and wanted to rush out the door, but it was just a luxury after all.
The female voice that sounded in my ears was like a female Shura walking out of purgatory. Her words were extremely gentle and even joking, but I couldn't feel a trace of warmth.
It's like an unarmed prey being controlled by a beast and played with playfully.
When you’ve had enough fun, you’ll be eaten.
It's terrible, so terrible.
Since Qiao Wanyan is not a book-crossing girl, how did she know about the future? And how did she calmly say that the heroine is Qiao Yihuan?
How on earth did she know that?
Liu Yanran's body and mind had fallen to the bottom at this moment. Every muscle was tense and a chill spread throughout her body.
"Why are you shaking?" Qiao Wanyan asked softly, "Aren't we supposed to help each other? Why do you want to leave when I want you to talk to me about the future? How can we help each other like this?"
Qiao Wanyan spoke slowly, as if she was asking about a very common matter.
But Liu Yanran was afraid, she was extremely afraid.
He was shaking so much that he could hardly stand even when hearing a word Qiao Wanyan said. She was holding his hair tightly and tilting his head back, so he couldn't see the teasing on her face.
"Let me go, let me go!"
After Liu Yanran shouted, she seemed to have gained courage and began to struggle desperately to run towards the door.
Almost in an instant, Qiao Wanyan pulled out the only hairpin from Liu Yanran's hair and put it against her neck, sighing softly.
"Qiao Yihuan is the heroine, so she has everything she wants. But as her lackey, how come you only have a silver hairpin that is so cheap that it can't be any cheaper?"
Seeing that Liu Yanran didn't dare to move, Qiao Wanyan suddenly chuckled.
"Eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks. Even if you can't eat spareribs, you can still eat meat."
As if she was joking, Qiao Wanyan laughed mockingly, "Yanran, you are really good at making empty promises. Since you like to suffer so much, why don't you be my dog? At least I'm happy and can give you a bone to taste."
Liu Yanran could clearly feel the sharp silver hairpin on her neck pressing against her skin. The slightest movement would definitely leave a bloody mark.
What's more, she had personally experienced the horror of Qiao Wanyan at this moment, and she knew clearly that as long as Qiao Wanyan was unhappy, she would definitely kill her.
In the eyes of a vicious person like her, human life is nothing but grass.
I didn't want to respond to her deliberate teasing, but I didn't dare to say anything unpleasant to anger her.
Before, Liu Yanran still had a sense of superiority towards all the people and things in ancient times. She felt that she was a modern person and was much smarter and more informed than these pedantic ancients.
Moreover, everything here is a book, a book she had read before. She knew clearly what the future would be like, and she confidently held the heroine's thigh and waited for the heroine to become the queen and give her the status of a princess, so that she could live a carefree life.
But suddenly one day, the most vicious second female character in the book seemed to awaken her self-awareness.
It just so happened that I bumped into it head-on.
This feeling is no different from going to see a midnight horror movie alone and actually seeing a ghost.
Liu Yanran recognized the fact that she had never been the smartest student in the class who was liked by the teachers, nor was she the bottom student with the worst grades but who loved to be naughty and coax others. She was just a person in the middle who was almost invisible in front of the teachers.
Later, when I grew up and started working, I had no special skills and could only find a job in a mediocre company as an employee who could be replaced at any time without causing any impact on the company.
She thought that as a modern person who had seen the world and lived in a highly civilized world, she would be able to live a safe and smooth life if she came to the ancient times.
But now she understands that mediocre people are mediocre wherever they are.
She couldn't cause any trouble in this ancient time. As a modern person who had grown up in a world where everyone was equal, she couldn't adapt to or accept the clear class distinctions of the ancient times.
Just like now, even if Qiao Wanyan killed himself, Daddy would not be able to seek justice.
Or maybe, he died on the way to seek justice.
"If you are willing to help me and stand on my side, I will promise you everything I can give."
Qiao Wanyan extended an olive branch.
"If you are unwilling to help me, then I cannot keep a troublemaker like you who can threaten me. You have to understand."
Liu Yanran knew the subsequent plot. Her advantage now was that she knew what would happen in the future, so she could change her current predicament.
But if Qiao Yihuan also knew about it, he might not lose, but he would definitely get into a lot of trouble.
She doesn't like trouble and only likes to nip it in the bud.
"Is there still a need to think about it?" Zi Yuan felt impatient when she saw that she was still hesitating. "Following my young lady is considered as a good deed you accumulated in your previous life. I gave you the opportunity but you are useless!"
Qiao Wanyan didn't say anything, nor did she stop Zi Yuan's arrogance.
In her eyes, her people can be arrogant.
The silver hairpin in his hand gently stroked her skin, slowly moving from the side to the front of Liu Yanran's neck.
As long as she stabs it hard, a living person will die in front of her.
Liu Yanran didn't even dare to breathe. Between life and death, all moral ethics disappeared. She just wanted to survive.
"I do! I do, I am willing to help you!" Liu Yanran spoke carefully, fearing that she would be pricked by the silver hairpin if she spoke too loudly.
Qiao Wanyan asked, "Then tell me, after my death, will Qiao Yihuan's position as queen be secured? When He Yanli rebelled and marched to the imperial city, did he flatten the imperial city, kill He Zhiyu, and ascend the throne?"
Liu Yanran's mind was working rapidly, and she had only one thought in her mind at this moment.
This is my trump card.
If I tell it, Qiao Wanyan will definitely kill me to silence me. People like her have no bottom line at all.
But if I don't tell you, at least I can survive temporarily! After today, I can even use this trump card to exchange with Qiao Wanyan for the conditions to survive.
But now the silver hairpin is against her neck. How can she escape from the current predicament?
Liu Yanran's mind was in a mess at the moment. She tried her best to think but her mind was still blank.
"The young lady is talking to you? Are you mute? I see that you say you are willing to help the young lady, but you actually just want to delay time, right? You are grunting and groaning, and I want to slap you both!" Zi Yuan said unhappily.
Qiao Wanyan lowered her eyes and the silver hairpin in her hand stabbed towards her skin.
Liu Yanran felt a hint of pain and her pupils shrank to the extreme in an instant. Just as she was about to beg for mercy, she heard a voice outside.
