People must have self-awareness!
Especially intelligent people.
A person who lacks self-awareness cannot be considered intelligent.
The Fourth Prince was well aware that he was no longer favored by the Crown Prince. Otherwise, when he mobilized the troops of Zichuan Town to suppress Xiaoyaofang, the Crown Prince would have issued an imperial decree.
The Crown Prince's current restraint is clearly a ploy to escalate the situation. Only by making things worse will it be reasonable for the Crown Prince to punish him.
Moreover, only in this way can the Crown Prince eliminate him in one fell swoop.
Since the Fourth Prince could see all this clearly, how could he not be on guard? If he did all this without a detailed follow-up plan, wouldn't he be handing his life over to the Crown Prince? He's not that stupid!
Having received instructions from the Fourth Prince, Su Peisheng hurriedly left.
The Fourth Prince then returned to Rong Xi's room, gazing at her sleeping soundly with a slightly melancholy expression.
He tried various methods, but still couldn't wake up his wife, which made the Fourth Prince quite frustrated.
And what is Rong Xi doing at this moment?
Hmm, still dreaming!
However, this dream felt just like it was real.
In her dream, she successfully inherited a fortune of hundreds of millions, lived in a luxurious villa, and ate delicacies prepared by top chefs.
...
The sky was a clear, deep blue, and the sun slowly sank below the horizon.
The evening breeze rustled through the coconut trees.
On the balcony of the seaside villa, Rong Xi lay on a comfortable recliner, holding a tablet in her hand, leisurely reading her favorite online novel.
On the coffee table next to her were some glistening, fresh grapes.
She had a maid who would peel the grapes for her and feed them to her.
To be fed and clothed without lifting a finger—what a life of a parasite!
"Miss, what would you like for dinner?"
The villa's butler is Old White, a professional British butler with an annual salary of millions.
At this moment, old White was dressed in a tailcoat, white shirt, blue tie, black trousers, and black leather shoes, showing great professionalism and not making any effort to dress more lightly despite the hot weather.
"Oh, by the way, we have some Caspian black caviar, Japanese Wagyu beef, and some black truffles that just arrived at home..."
Old White slowly began to recount the food supplies stored in the villa.
"Wagyu beef, please!"
Rong Xi didn't turn her head, and replied indifferently.
"Okay, please wait a moment!"
After receiving Rong Xi's reply, Old White immediately withdrew and instructed the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Rong Xi continued reading her novel, not paying much attention to the passage of time. By the time old White came over to speak again, the sun had completely set, and the lights in the villa were already on.
Wagyu beef is considered the finest among beef varieties.
Rong Xi ate slowly and deliberately, but as she ate, she gradually frowned.
"Miss, is there a problem?"
Seeing Rong Xi's expression, Old White quickly stepped forward and spoke softly.
"This tastes a bit off. I think I've had much better beef before!"
Rong Xi had this feeling a long time ago.
She hired the world's top chefs, but no matter what kind of food it was, she felt something was missing. However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't figure out what it was.
Before inheriting a fortune, she was a complete shut-in, and the so-called gourmet food she ate was mostly street food. Occasionally, she would go to a restaurant to improve her lifestyle.
Logically speaking, she couldn't have been exposed to delicacies of a higher standard than what she was currently enjoying.
But your inner feelings don't lie.
Something's definitely wrong!
Rong Xi glanced at old White, then looked around at everything, feeling that none of this was real, like a dream.
Dream on!
Am I really dreaming?
Looking at the knife and fork in her hand, Rong Xi felt somewhat lost.
She had never used a knife and fork before, let alone used them so skillfully. And then there's the matter of dining etiquette, especially Western dining etiquette!
These were all things she had never learned before.
But now, she has mastered it very well.
Something's not right, something's really not right!
As the old saying goes, seeing is not always believing, and hearing is not always deceiving. In life, more often than not, you have to follow your instincts.
"Miss, this is already top-grade Wagyu beef..."
"No, I don't suspect there's anything wrong with the beef. Rather, there should be better options. I feel like I've eaten them before. Including the things I ate before, I think I've had better ones. But why can't I remember?"
Rong Xi frowned, her gaze fixed intently on the knife and fork in her hand.
It is said that people cannot feel pain in their dreams.
So, if all of this is just a dream, then perhaps I can give it a try!
Thinking of this, Rong Xi suddenly swung the knife, slicing it across her left palm. With a single cut, her palm split open, and blood flowed freely.
However, it doesn't hurt!
It really doesn't hurt!
Rong Xi stared in astonishment at her bleeding palm, then turned to look at old White beside her. Old White, on the other hand, looked at Rong Xi with a look of horror on his face.
"Miss, what are you doing?"
"Someone, quickly fetch a doctor!"
Old White shouted anxiously.
The maid in the villa immediately ran to call the family doctor.
"It's all fake!"
"Fake!"
"Wake up, wake up!"
Ignoring the horrified old White and the running maids, Rong Xi stood up and walked towards the villa's balcony.
