"Cousin, cousin, did you hear me?"
Second Prince Li Jingchen saw that he had been talking for a long time, and his cousin Zhou Qiongyue didn't know what she was thinking about, and ignored him, looking lost in thought. He could only look around first, and when he saw that there was no one around, he carefully reached out and pulled his cousin Zhou Qiongyue's sleeve.
Zhou Qiongyue was really confused when she came back to her senses, because the soul in her body was no longer the original owner.
Zhou Qiongyue was very panicked when she came through. She had no idea what was going on.
Yesterday, she had simply gone to a sacred temple and made a common wish: "to live a life of wealth and prosperity without any effort." But when she woke up, she found herself in this awkward situation.
Zhou Qiongyue could only smile, thinking she was harmless: "Sorry, I was distracted just now. What did you say, cousin?"
The second prince Li Jingchen frowned. He felt that his cousin was pretending to be stupid. It must be because she loved him too much and didn't want to accept this matter.
But he already has someone he likes in his heart, and his mother is definitely unwilling to let his cousin be a concubine. He also doesn't want his beloved to be a concubine. In order to avoid accidents, he will have to disappoint his cousin's feelings. It is better to make it clear with his cousin as soon as possible.
Otherwise, given how deeply my cousin loves me, if something happens, I won't be able to explain to my uncle.
He rubbed his brows and used what he thought was a gentle tone, "Cousin, I have always treated you as my own sister, so you don't have to give me these things. Do you understand what I mean?"
Zhou Qiongyue listened to what the so-called cousin said and nodded in confusion. She thought to herself, isn't this just a disguised way of saying, "I just treat you as a sister, don't have any improper thoughts about me!"
Although Zhou Qiongyue didn't know what the situation was, she was familiar with this question!
Besides, she has always been the one who would rather lose than lose the battle. Besides, there are all kinds of men, and who needs a cousin!
She thought through the whole story and showed an innocent expression on her face, "Cousin, what do you mean? I have always treated you as my real brother. The things I give to you, I also give to other people." At this point, she even pretended to count on her fingers to whom she had given the gifts.
Li Jingchen quickly stopped Zhou Qiongyue, "Ahem, cousin, that's not what I meant. I was just afraid that you would misunderstand how good I usually am to you."
"Oh, if you don't like it, I won't give it to you again in the future." Zhou Qiongyue said and acted as if she didn't care.
Zhou Qiongyue didn't care whether the original owner had given it to someone else or not. She couldn't lose in terms of momentum. And based on her observation of her own and the person opposite her, she guessed this must be from ancient times. In ancient times, women would give men gifts of nothing more than sachets or something similar.
As for her current situation, she also had some guesses. It was a time travel! This was a topic familiar to her as a veteran novelist.
Li Jingchen was surprised and a little disappointed when he heard his cousin say this. He also felt that his cousin must have been rejected by him and was sad, so she acted indifferent. But no matter what, he still felt a sense of relief. He finally explained to Xin'er.
"That's good, that's good!"
Li Jingchen unconsciously muttered what he was thinking aloud, his face still a little embarrassed. He carefully observed his cousin's reaction, and saw that she really didn't look disappointed or sad. He thought to himself that either she was pretending, or he was really overthinking it.
Zhou Qiongyue rolled her eyes upon hearing this. Just as she was debating whether to expose her true nature and confront this narcissistic cousin, another girl in ancient costume suddenly jumped out from the side. The key point was that she was startled, and she looked at the girl who jumped out with a bad look.
Zhou Nanqian looked at the frightened elder sister and the second prince's cousin in front of her, and said playfully: "Elder sister, what are you and your cousin doing here, and why don't you bring any servants with you?"
The innocence on Zhou Nanqian's face at this moment was exactly the same as the expression Zhou Qiongyue pretended to be innocent just now.
Zhou Qiongyue looked speechlessly at the girl in front of her who was pretending to be innocent.
Before she traveled through time, Zhou Qiongyue had started her own business and had achieved some success, having achieved financial freedom through her own efforts. She had seen everyone except that person. She could immediately see through this person's affectation and ill intentions.
But the key point is that she doesn't have the original owner's memory, so she doesn't dare to speak casually, for fear of destroying the original owner's personality. She can only cry for help in her heart, who is this person?
On the other hand, the Second Prince, Li Jingchen, stared at Zhou Nanqian with a hint of anger. He had never liked this illegitimate cousin and wondered why she was everywhere. "Cousin Nanqian, why are you here?"
The second prince Li Jingchen's tone was somewhat reprimanding.
"Second cousin, I just walked here accidentally! It's all Nan Qian's fault. I disturbed you and my sister's good time. Don't be angry. Nan Qian will leave now..."
Zhou Nanqian's expression and tone at this moment were so innocent and pitiful, but the two people in front of him were not idiots.
Zhou Qiongyue had originally intended to keep a low profile, not letting anyone see any difference between her and the original owner. But after hearing what Nan Qian said, she couldn't stand it any longer. If she didn't speak up, her reputation would be ruined.
"Shut up, you're a piece of shit in your heart, so everything you see is shit."
Although Zhou Nanqian knew that her eldest uncle's sister, relying on her status as the eldest daughter of the eldest son, had always looked down on her, she was so angry at the blunt scolding that her neck turned red and she had to squeeze out a few tears: "Sister, how could you say that to Qian'er?"
