Feng Tianlan replied with a soft ‘uh-huh’ and stopped elaborating.
Xi Jin was staring straight at her ever-alluring smile with his gentle eyes. The previous Dai’er was cute and lovely, however, the Dai’er in front of him right now was a completely different person despite the fact that they looked the same. She was cold and estranged.
If it wasn’t for the scene that had been projected on the wall, he would probably never have guessed that she was Dai’er.
“Sis… Sister.” Shen Yunya leaned back weakly in her palanquin. When she saw Feng Tianlan, she was so happy and wanted to stand up. However, she sat back down weakly.
Feng Tianlan and the other two were rather indifferent when they saw the pretentious Shen Yunya.
However, Xi Jin regained his senses in a second. He hadn’t forgotten his own mission. He stood up and stepped forward, then lifted Shen Yunya in his arms. “Ya’er, why are you so silly?”
Shen Yunya wrapped her arms tightly around Xi Jin’s neck as she weakly leaned against him. “I always believed that eldest sister was still alive. Besides, Brother Jin always wanted to look for eldest sister. Therefore, I decided to give it another shot. I didn’t expect it to succeed this time.”
Xi Jin carried Shen Yunya to her seat. He was still carrying her in his arms without letting go. “Your body was initially weak. If this were to go on, you will collapse sooner or later. What am I supposed to do if something were to happen to you?”
What he was trying to say was that she was more important to him than Feng Tianlan.
Shen Yunya understood his hidden meaning as well. She couldn’t help but feel glad. Brother Jin had indeed fallen in love with her. Even after Shen Qingdai’s return, he didn’t budge.
“Eldest sister is very important too.” Shen Yunya was still wearing an expression that showed that she had a strong sisterly bond with Feng Tianlan.
Xi Lin felt disgusted when she saw that expression.
“Dai’er…”
Feng Tianlan raised her head and interrupted Xi Jin faintly, saying, “I am Feng Tianlan now. The past is the past. If Crown Prince Xi still treats me as your friend, call me Tianlan. If not, Miss Feng or Demon Princess Consort are both fine as well.”
Xi Jin’s warm eyes went blank for a second. However, he immediately returned to normal. “Miss Feng shall go back first. Ya’er is not feeling well. I will take care of her.”
Xi Lin raised her head and looked at Xi Jin weirdly as he carried Shen Yunya into her residential palace. Xi Lin was quite stunned. She didn’t know what he was thinking at all.
“Tianlan.” Xi Lin chased after Feng Tianlan. There was no one around them. She then looked at her with a confused expression and asked, “What do you think my brother is thinking about?”
He was so indifferent towards Feng Tianlan. He had even implied that Tianlan was not as important as Shen Yunya. This was just infuriating. Besides, he also called her Miss Feng. Wasn’t he acting slightly too unfamiliar towards her?
Feng Tianlan raised her head and looked at the royal garden. It was filled with blossoming flowers. “It seems like Xi Jin loves Shen Yunya dearly. However, everything that happened before this, the grievances that Shen Yunya has dealt with and the love she was getting were superficial.”
“What do you mean?” Xi Lin seemed to be understanding half of what Feng Tianlan was saying.
Feng Tianlan squinted her eyes and said in a rather depressing tone, “I am guessing that he probably knows about the truth behind my death, but that he does not know about the dumplings incident.”
“If that’s the case, shouldn’t big brother hate her to the core? Why…” Xi Lin said.
“The best revenge against a woman is her being betrayed by the man she loves the most.” Feng Tianlan chuckled while thinking about what Jiang Ying did to her in her previous life. “If Shen Yunya were to learn that everything she has achieved was an illusion, she would go crazy.”
Especially the fact that her virginity wasn’t given to Xi Jin but instead to an ugly admirer of hers whom she disliked and had avoided for many years.
