It's better to imagine a boyfriend than to attack the villain

Chapter 123 World 8: Mother and Daughter Conversation

Jing Qianju imprisoned Yue You in his mansion in a domineering manner, and even the place where she lived was his bedroom. Yue You had no say at all and could only helplessly accept everything he gave her.

Qianji stayed in the palace for only one day after that reunion. As the queen, she needed to return to the harem to handle affairs. However, according to rumors from the servants in the palace, before the queen returned to the palace, she had a fierce argument with the prince.

Yueyou was too tired from the day's troubles and did not go to see Qianji off. The two did not meet again for a long time afterwards.

Yue You spent her days in the mansion doing nothing but playing and joking with Jing Qianju and sleeping, and she felt extremely bored every day. At this moment, she was sitting on the swing that Jing Qianju had specially built for her, staring blankly at the flowers blooming in the garden.

She couldn't help but recall her past life, thinking back to the three years since she came to this world. She had spent two happy years with Qianji and her son, and a year with Wuyi, and now she was in this unfamiliar Jing Kingdom.

She suddenly felt that it didn't matter whether she saw the prosperity of the Dajing Dynasty or not, as the days were getting more and more boring.

She was homesick.

When I was a child, I was particularly envious of those girls who traveled through time, returned to the mysterious ancient times, made a name for themselves, and had a loving man by their side to pamper and protect them. Now that I think about it, I really must have damaged my brain by reading too many novels.

What was so good about the ancient times? There was no air conditioning, no Wi-Fi, no games or animations, no refrigerators or watermelons.

so boring.

Yueyou pushed hard with her feet and used the force to swing on the swing.

Life is quite boring, but there are people who like to provide her with entertainment.

Yue You slumped in the chair without any image, with her arms resting on the back of the chair, and watched the clown in front of her chattering silently.

"You shameless woman, what kind of love potion did you give to the Crown Prince?" Jing Chuchu pointed at Yue You and cursed with a distorted face. She was almost mad with anger. Jing Qianju had rejected King Cheng's marriage proposal again.

Yue You raised an eyebrow, a mocking smile playing on the corner of her mouth: "What kind of love potion I gave His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is none of your business?"

Jing Chuchu was so angry that she was shaking all over: "You...you shameless woman!"

Yue You said proudly: "Jing Chuchu, are you jealous that I am favored by your beloved prince brother?"

Jing Chuchu gnashed her teeth and said, "Humph, do you think the Crown Prince would like a woman like you? He's just bewitched by you!"

Yue You sneered, "So what? At least now your prince brother likes me instead of you."

Jing Chuchu was so angry that she couldn't speak. She glared at Yue You, wishing she could rush up and tear her face apart.

However, Yueyou looked back at her fearlessly, his eyes full of provocation.

Jing Chuchu took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down: "Don't be too proud too soon. One day, the prince will see your true colors. When that happens, you can expect to be abandoned!"

Yue You shrugged: "Oh, really? Then we'll wait and see."

Jing Chuchu was almost driven mad by Yue You's attitude. She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, her heart filled with anger and resentment. She had thought she had everything under control, but now she found that things were completely out of her control.

What made her even more unbearable was that she learned through the spies in the Prince's Mansion that Jing Qianju was actually having a night of fun with that wild girl of unknown origin, while Jing Qianju was cold and indifferent to her, not even willing to touch her sleeve. This contrast made her feel extremely humiliated and resentful.

The more Jing Chuchu thought about it, the more she felt she'd given so much, yet received nothing in return. She'd spent a whole year trying to make herself felt in front of Jing Qianju, using every trick in the book to get his attention, but in the end, she'd only been ignored and snubbed. And this woman, who had suddenly appeared, easily broke all of Jing Qianju's rules, making him do whatever she said.

Jing Chuchu decided not to sit still and wait for death. She wanted to let this wild girl know that she, Jing Chuchu, was not to be trifled with! She would use all means to take back what belonged to her.

Boring.

Yue You just watched her come in aggressively and leave aggressively, rolled her eyes in boredom, raised her hand to pick up the grapes that the servants on the table had provided for guests, ate them while walking back to sit on the swing in the garden.

Life was really bad in ancient times. There was not much fruit to eat except grapes.

Yueyou's days were like completing a task. During the day, she would sleep, listen to Jing Chuchu's curses, and then swing on the swing and stare blankly. At night, she would do all sorts of random things with Jing Qianju, and then go to sleep.

This goes on day after day, and Yueyou feels bored.

Until the Lantern Festival arrives, Jing Qianju must live in the prince's bedroom in the palace, and bring Yueyou with him. Qianji also summons her into the palace.

The gathering of female relatives was held in a special hall and presided over by the queen, so Jing Qianju sent people to Qianji.

Palace etiquette is essential. Yue You respectfully bowed to Qian Ji, who immediately stood up and quickly walked over to pull her up. "There's no need to be so polite between you and me, mother and daughter."

She led Yueyou to the bed, motioned for her to sit down, and said gravely, "Since you returned, we mother and daughter haven't had a good time together. I've tried to summon you to the palace several times, but Hu'er refused to let you go."

"You'er, have you ever been wronged when you were alone in a foreign land?"

Yue You shook her head lightly, "Thank you for your concern, stepmother. May everything go well for You'er."

Qianji didn't ask any more questions. She had sent people to investigate Yueyou's whereabouts that year, but found nothing, and Jing Qianju also kept silent. Now that Yueyou didn't want to say more, she didn't ask any more questions.

Qianji held Yueyou and talked for a long time, mostly expressing concern. Gradually, Yueyou relaxed and the two got along quite harmoniously.

Finally, Qianji looked at the beautiful Yueyou, wanting to speak but stopping herself, inwardly lamenting how quickly time flies. In the year since they last met, Yueyou has become even more beautiful and charming. During that year, Wuyi had taken good care of her. Her skin was as white as snow, her eyes were as bright as stars, and her entire being exuded a fresh and unworldly aura, like a lotus flower emerging from the water. No wonder Jing Qianju would always be obsessed with her, Qianji couldn't help but sigh.

Yue You noticed Qian Ji's hesitation and said sympathetically, "Mother-in-law, just tell me if you have anything to say." Her voice was soft and gentle, making people feel extremely comfortable.

Qianji smiled slightly, a trace of relief and touching flashed in her eyes. This child is always so sensible, making people feel pity and love.

Unfortunately……

Qianji's face was solemn as she spoke slowly, "You'er, let me be frank with you. What are your plans for you and Hu'er?"

Yue You knew that it was difficult to conceal her affair with Jing Qianju, so she wasn't surprised. She simply said solemnly, "Your Highness the Crown Prince and I are merely using each other. When Your Highness tires of me, I will leave."

Qianji looked at Yueyou solemnly, "You'er, where can you go alone? Are you really going to abandon me?"

"You'er is naturally reluctant to leave her adoptive mother. But I don't want to be too involved with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. You'er is of humble status, how could I dare to associate with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"You'er, from the moment you stepped into the palace, you were destined to be unable to escape." Qianji looked at Yueyou, her eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and determination.

Yueyou lowered her head and remained silent. She knew she was trapped in an inescapable vortex.

Qianji sighed deeply and said in a deep voice: "Hu'er is deeply in love with you. Do you really want to let him down?" There was a hint of blame and disappointment in her voice.

Yueyou raised his head, looked at Qianji with a firm gaze, and said, "I don't want to disappoint anyone, but there are some things that are beyond my control."

Qianji held Yueyou's hand tightly and said slowly, "I don't know what you've been through this year that made you treat Hu'er so coldly. But You'er, if a person's obsession goes unanswered for a long time, it will eventually make them tired. Even if Hu'er does something wrong, it's because he loves you too much."

Yueyou listened silently to Qianji's words, a ripple in her heart. She knew that Hu'er had deep feelings for her, but she couldn't give him the same response. Her heart was full of contradictions and struggles.

Qianji looked at Yueyou gently and said softly, "Chuchu is the daughter of a loyal minister and a princess appointed by His Majesty himself. In terms of identity and status, she is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate for the Crown Princess."

Qianji sighed slightly and continued, "You'er, believe in your stepmother. What is yours will eventually be yours."

When Jing Qianju took Yue You away, Qianji couldn't help but raise a relieved smile on her face.

She knew that Yueyou had always been a sensible and good child.
