The next day, early morning.
Sophie slowly woke up from her sleep.
The complicated costumes successfully exhausted her patience, and she had to call her personal maid Chunhua for technical help.
"Miss, I heard someone say that there was a lot of noise coming from the Second Miss's room last night..."
While Chunhua was helping with the dressing, she leaned over and whispered to Sophie mysteriously.
"Chunhua, how could a little girl like you hear such dirty talk?"
Sophie scratched her ears disapprovingly.
"Let's not talk about the fact that this is hearsay and has no basis. Even if it is true, how can this young couple breaking the law by doing something that a married couple should do?"
"Miss, why are you still speaking up for the Second Miss? Don't you hate the Second Miss the most..."
Chunhua was a little surprised by Sophie's sudden defense. Normally, the person the young lady hated the most was the second young lady.
"Chunhua, before, it was indeed because I, as your elder sister, was too narrow-minded that I was prejudiced against Wanwan. Now I have come to understand. Wanwan is the person closest to me in the world besides my father. I am happy when she is well."
Sophie smiled and brushed aside the grudge between the original owner and the heroine.
"But……"
Chunhua twisted her handkerchief, feeling unwilling.
Sophie stretched lazily and spoke softly.
"Chunhua, I wonder if you've ever heard the saying, 'Misfortune comes from the mouth.' The Lin family is no ordinary family, let alone the Beiming Palace that Wanwan married into. If you truly want to live a more peaceful life in the future, you must be careful with your words."
What Sophie said was not alarmist.
In the original drama, Chunhua, as Lin Qingyin's confidant, aided and abetted her in her evil deeds. After Lin Qingyin was transformed into a human pig, Chunhua lost her protection and was implicated. Because of her gossip, she offended many. She was forcibly ripped out, ultimately leading to a painful death.
A chill ran down Chunhua's spine. She realized she had overstepped her bounds and instantly fell to her knees.
"Miss, I know I was wrong!"
Sophie couldn't stand her kneeling down all the time, so she lifted her up.
Rather than giving some advice to a maid, she would rather give some advice to the male and female protagonists.
Presumably, after her strong assistance last night, the relationship between the male and female protagonists has made a quantitative breakthrough and even a qualitative leap!
Sophie couldn't wait to take Chunhua to the villa where Lin Qingwan and Helian Jin were.
…
In the Handan Pavilion of the other courtyard, inside the hibiscus tent.
Lin Qingwan, the first to wake up, slowly opened her heavy eyelids. She forced herself to sit up in bed, her aching body straining as the quilt slid down her smooth skin from her shoulders.
Her once fair skin was now covered in bruises and purples. The scattered clothes on the floor and the messy bedding beneath her revealed the madness of the previous night.
Lin Qingwan's face flushed, and several blushing scenes flashed through her mind quickly.
She shyly lowered her eyes to look at the man beside her, but what she saw was his cold eyes mixed with anger.
"Lin Qingwan, how dare you drug this king?!"
Helian Jin suddenly stood up and grabbed her slender wrist, and the remaining satisfaction in his eyes disappeared in an instant.
"Give me drugs?"
Lin Qingwan's breathing stagnated, and she froze in place in shock at this sudden change.
"Why, you dare not admit it?"
Helian Jin stared at the woman coldly, increasing the strength of his hands without any sign of pity.
"Your Majesty, what are you saying? I don't understand."
Lin Qingwan frowned in pain. She looked at the man so close to her helplessly, and met his dark eyes that were like a pool of stagnant water.
Looking at her pretending to be innocent, Helian Jin snorted mockingly.
"Lin Qingwan, at this point, you still want to quibble? Do you really think that without the effects of the drug, I would be willing to touch you?"
Cold and heartless words burst out from his lips.
Lin Qingwan's pupils trembled, and her fair face lost all color.
But in a moment, her heart seemed to fall from heaven to hell and shattered into pieces.
Helian Jin pushed the woman away with disgust, as if he felt sick even if he looked at her for one more moment.
Due to inertia, Lin Qingwan's head hit the bed rail behind her.
Helian Jin seemed not to see it and walked away.
With a loud thud, Lin Qingwan bumped against the bed rail. Her forehead felt a sharp pain, but it wasn't even one ten-thousandth as painful as the pain in her heart.
Only then did she realize that the beauty and intimacy of last night were all illusions.
It breaks at the first touch.
"The princess has committed insubordination. Come, bring the princess back to the palace immediately and punish her according to the family rules!"
Helian Jin's stern voice rang out from outside the door.
As he finished speaking, a chaotic sound of footsteps approached her.
Lin Qingwan curled up in the corner of the bed, hugging the quilt tightly.
Tears welled up in her eyes, but she couldn't tell whether it was because of humiliation or fear.
"Let's see who dares to touch Wanwan!"
In a flash, a female voice with full energy suddenly rang out.
Sophie took quick steps and rushed to the scene.
"Ayin, why are you here?"
Helian Jin's eyes darkened, and he was somewhat surprised by Sophie's appearance.
"Brother-in-law, be careful how you address me."
Sophie glared angrily at the ungrateful male protagonist.
She had good intentions in bringing him and the heroine together, but not only did he not cherish her, he even wanted to domestic violence against her?
Not only did she not get any extra points, but she was also judged by the system as deliberately destroying the relationship between the male and female protagonists, and her viciousness index increased by 10 points for nothing.
Helian Jin was startled by her sudden call of "brother-in-law".
Before he could come to his senses, Sophie had already stepped past him and strode in front of Lin Qingwan.
"Wanwan, are you okay?"
Sophie asked softly, holding her cold fingertips.
Lin Qingwan looked at the person in front of her with tearful eyes, and the tears she had been holding back flowed down like tears from a broken string.
[Ding! Successfully soothed the tearful heroine. Viciousness Index: 5, Friendship Value: +10.]
…
After all the trouble, it was noon.
Thanks to Sophie's timely arrival and order, the matter did not spread.
However, Lin Qingwan's depressed mood and Helian Jin's hurried departure still caught Lin Yinghao's attention.
"Wanwan, what happened?"
Lin Yinghao loves his daughter dearly and asked.
Lin Qingwan shook her head and avoided the question.
"Lin Qingyin, have you bullied Wanwan again?"
Lin Yinghao glanced sideways at Sophie who was eating seriously at the side, and threw his chopsticks down in anger.
"Father, this matter has nothing to do with my sister. It's Wanwan who should be careful not to anger the prince."
Lin Qingwan put down the dishes in her hands and took the initiative to excuse Sophie.
Lin Yinghao looked at her in disbelief.
"Don't be afraid, Wanwan! If your sister dares to bully you, Daddy will break her legs!"
Sophie: ???
I'm still here!
