Bab 219: Rui Is Enough

The plan made by her mother was very good.  Even Zhao Wenling had been sure that this time she would surely be able to get Xi Ying.

However, she had not expected a failure just at the first part of their plan.

Li Rui refused the offer of friendship but she got compensation for that by Xi Ying's support. No one was now allowed to talk about the incident of fourteen years ago. 

This was not good news for her. After all, that incident was a good way of getting sympathy from people for Princess Wenling…and sympathy was all she needed to get Xi Ying or that was what she thought.

Still, she proceeded with her second part of the plan only to face failure again and this time the failure was more painful than before.

Hearing the man she loved comparing her to some sort of prostitute…what could be more painful than that?

She did not reveal her feelings to Xi Ying. That's why he thought for her in this manner. Princess Wenling comforted herself.
