Transmigrated As My Former Uncle’s Sweetheart - Chapter 1665

1665 A Pitiful Creature Who Knew Nothing
This was actually a good plan, though.

If the mysterious mastermind planned to break the princess’s heart, they would be unsettled if the princess was not affected and was even in the mood to go shopping in the streets. Then, they might try a different scheme.

When that happened, they would take the opportunity to get rid of the schemer once and for all. The moment someone suspicious appeared by the princess’s side, they could finally catch the mastermind behind this.

“Yes, General,” the personal guard replied respectfully and left to make arrangements.

When Ji’er woke up, Chu Qi was no longer around.

She rubbed her swollen eyes and sat up.

Tong’er came in with a basin of hot water. She wrung the hot towel dry and passed it to her. “Put this on your face for a while, Princess. You’ll feel better.”
Ji’er took it from her and asked, “Where’s the general?”

“The general left because he had something to deal with. The general was the one who instructed me to give you this hot towel,” Tong’er replied.

Ji’er placed the hot towel on her eyes and she did feel much more comfortable after a while.

Tong’er came in with breakfast and told Ji’er to enjoy herself.

Ji’er did not really have any appetite and did not want to eat, but Tong’er said, “Please have some breakfast, Princess. The general had specifically ordered the kitchen to prepare some light and refreshing dishes for you. If you refuse to eat anything, the general will blame me when he returns.”

When she heard it was Chu Qi’s instructions, Ji’er obediently took some food despite not having an appetite.

After she was done with breakfast, she went to the garden.

It was the Spring season and the flowers in the garden bloomed voraciously. It was a beautiful sight.

The garden used to be quite simple when she first arrived and there was not a large variety of flowers. No one took care of the garden and it began to look quite depressing. It was Chu Qi who had later ordered for different flowers to be moved here from other locations. He made arrangements for these flowers to be planted and to be well taken care of.

In just a month, the garden looked quite lively.

The garden was covered in pretty greenery and colorful butterflies flitted about. Flowers bloomed all the time and even though they were not as gorgeous and varied as the imperial garden, it was still quite exquisite.

Ji’er tried her best to ignore the pain in her heart while admiring the beautiful sight in front of her.

She held her skirt and crouched in front of a flower.

Ji’er reached out to touch the petal.

Right then, Tong’er suddenly exclaimed, “Who are you?”

Bam! There was a sound of something heavy falling to the ground.

Ji’er quickly turned to look and saw Tong’er had already fallen to the ground.

She focused her sight on the person who appeared.

The person was wearing form-fitting clothes and had a good-looking face. She looked to be in her twenties and was staring malevolently at Ji’er.

“The Princess of Great Shang is indeed beautiful.” It sounded like a compliment, but her tone was disdainful.

“Who are you?” Ji’er did not lose her calm.

The woman did not answer, but continued saying what she wanted, “Chu Qi had arranged for someone to pretend to be you on the streets in order to bait me out in the open and capture me, but he underestimated me. Do I look like someone who would fall for such a cheap trick? He is probably accompanying your double and shopping on the streets, never imagining that I would sneak into the General Mansion to see you while he is away.” After saying that, she laughed insolently.

Ji’er figured something out from her words and her eyes narrowed. “Were you the one who was hiding in the corner and talking last night?”

“It seems you’re not that stupid.” The woman sniggered and looked Ji’er up and down in an impudent manner. “Don’t even bother shouting for anyone to come here. Chu Qi had taken all the mansion’s guards with him in order to catch me. Only a few useless ones have been left behind and I’ve already taken care of them. What do you think, little princess? Are you grateful to me? After all, I was the one who told you the truth and stopped you from becoming a pitiful creature who knew nothing.”
