Chapter 278 I'm sorry! It was my fault!
(Thanks to the user "Slightly Known" for casting 2 monthly votes.)
As soon as Li Shiyue finished speaking, Li Chunli's face turned red and then white, then red again.
She felt a surge of anger rising to the top of her head.
At the same time, she also felt ashamed, embarrassed, guilty, and short of breath.
Li Chunli felt in her heart that Li Shiyue was doing it on purpose!
Li Shiyue did it on purpose!
Li Shiyue had clearly heard the pageboy call her "Aunt Li" before, and Li Shiyue had also called her "Aunt Li" before, but now, just before leaving, she actually asked Liu Shu, "Aunt Li refers to Li Chunli, right?"
"She just wanted to humiliate me!"
She meant to say that I was a lowly person who was someone's concubine!
"Not being a proper wife means being inferior to those who will become someone else's proper wife!"
At this moment, Li Chunli's anger outweighed the shame she felt at being asked about her status as a concubine; or rather, she was furious with embarrassment.
Deep down, how could Li Chunli not mind being called a "chamber maid" or a "concubine"?
How could she not want to be the legitimate wife?
At this moment, Li Chunli was like a cat whose territory had been invaded. She let out a loud "meow" and hissed, revealing her sharp teeth and claws to Li Shiyue, who was watching her leisurely!
“Hehe,” Li Chunli walked to Li Shiyue’s side and put down the food box in her hand.
"So that Lieutenant Li may know that I have been in love with the young master since the first time I saw him. As long as I can stay by his side, I would be willing to be a concubine or even a foot-washing maid!"
As Li Chunli spoke, she had already taken out the sweet soup and snacks from the food box.
The sweet soup, emitting a fragrant aroma, is served in an exquisite white porcelain bowl with a gold rim.
"I don't understand those grand principles. I only know that being able to stay by the Crown Prince's side is my greatest blessing."
From now on, all I want is to bear children for the Crown Prince; that will be enough for me.
Li Chunli placed the soup spoon into the soup bowl, and looked at Liu Tan with a shy expression.
"I would be very grateful if Your Highness would not find me disliked."
After receiving a smile from Liu Tan, Li Chunli turned her head to look at Li Shiyue again.
“I’m not as capable as you are in October, able to become an official,” Li Chunli said in a gentle, even somewhat humble tone, but her expression was sarcastic.
Li Shiyue was already starting to regret it.
She felt that she had lost her true self due to the temptation of the system's points rewards on the last two occasions.
If she hadn't chosen the skill "Embroidery Needle from Dongfang Bubai" early on last time and even developed internal strength, how could she have won against She'er and the others' siege?
Even if she had taken the fertility pills that boosted her strength, she would only have become stronger, but she still wouldn't be able to fight the Eighth Prince of the Turks alone in a very short time without being at a disadvantage.
Therefore, the previous system task---...the original male protagonist Liu Shu is in danger. Please actively accept the competition on behalf of the male protagonist Liu Shu so that the male protagonist knows your feelings of love!
It really was a trap set by the scumbag president to kill Li Shiyue!
This time, when Li Shiyue heard that she would have a chance to get 300 points by completing the task, she got carried away.
All she could think about was completing the tasks, succeeding in them, earning points, and using those points to exchange for system rewards, so that she could lead the people of Liujiatun to a better life and survival in the next three years, and even in the ten-year plan she had already envisioned.
Looking at Li Chunli's still pretty face, Li Shiyue sighed inwardly.
"It was my fault for not staying true to myself and letting the rewards from the scumbag leader tempt my greed."
I was initially quite wary of the scumbag leader, but as I completed the tasks and redeemed the rewards, I gradually backed away!
For the sake of the mission, I lowered my standards step by step, violated my principles, and did things according to the system's requirements little by little!
I was wrong!
With just one glance at Li Chunli, Li Shiyue instantly understood everything.
"And her?"
Li Shiyue stared at Li Chunli, "She just wants to live a good life."
Given this historical context, is it wrong for her to want to live a good life?
Between her and me, there was no longer any connection when my scumbag father fell into the sea.
As long as she doesn't mess with me, why should I listen to the scumbag system and mock her for the sake of points, hoping to incite her jealousy and hatred towards me?
I was wrong to do that.
That was really a mistake.
"I... I can only live this kind of life because of Your Highness."
But I…”
Before Liu Shu could speak, Li Shiyue stood up first. There were only the three of them in the room, and Liu Shu and Li Chunli were both very surprised that Li Shiyue suddenly stood up.
Li Shiyue realized her mistake, so she stood up and gave Li Chunli a serious bow.
After putting her hand down, she said to the somewhat dazed Li Chunli, word by word, "I'm sorry! It was my fault!"
I shouldn't have deliberately exposed your shortcomings because of your careless attitude towards me; I was being too attached to my own feelings!
Li Chunli, I'm sorry!
When Liu Shu heard Li Shiyue say that, he really looked at Li Shiyue seriously this time. He wasn't just pretending because of Zhou Yiran's words to win Li Shiyue over in the future. He was genuinely looking at her seriously.
Having grown up surrounded by women, Liu Shu was actually quite familiar with the rivalries between women.
He was used to enjoying the jealousy and arguments among the young ladies as a noble prince.
In Liu Shu's mind: "Women are just like that."
"Give them a friendly welcome, sleep with them a few more times, and once they're pregnant, they'll behave themselves, won't they?"
But after doing this, Liu Shu found those girls to be rather boring.
Therefore, ever since Liu Shu started having affairs, his harem has changed countless times.
Li Chunli is not the first, nor will she be the last.
However, all that's left is that Li Chunli has given birth to a little girl for him now.
Therefore, at this moment, watching Li Shiyue apologize to Li Chunli, and from Li Shiyue's demeanor, he could tell that Li Shiyue was genuinely apologizing to Li Chunli!
She genuinely believes she made a mistake!
Li Shiyue felt that he should not have used such harsh words to humiliate Li Chunli across from him!
Li Shiyue's realization was truly unexpected and unbelievable to Liu Shu!
"Are there really women in this world who aren't jealous?"
Li Chunli wasn't stupid; she naturally noticed Li Shiyue's seriousness!
But Li Shiyue's next words caused Li Chunli's jealousy, which hadn't risen much before, to explode!
"I was wrong."
I overlooked the fact that not all women in this world are like me, possessing the courage and ability to transcend worldly conventions.
I was able to receive the prince's reward and become an official, which I earned through my own hard work.
But your entry into the Crown Prince's harem was a choice you earned yourself.
In this respect, we are no different; we are all just striving for what we want.
The only thing we have in common is that we came from the same village. There is nothing else.
I was wrong before. I shouldn't have made sarcastic remarks to you. I apologize. I'm sorry!
Don't worry, we probably won't have the chance to meet again!
After saying this, Li Shiyue cupped his hands to Liu Shu and said, "Your Highness, the study is a very important place, and it is really not suitable for the women in your backyard to come here."
After bowing his head in greeting, Li Shiyue raised his head again and said, "Your Highness, the wind and snow are heavy today, so I will take my leave."
"Your Highness, rest assured, I, Li Shiyue, will definitely attend the banquet on New Year's Day!"
