Return of the Villain: Long Live the Queen

The light rain in March continued to fall, and the remaining petals of the peach blossoms swayed feebly among the broken jade falling from the sky.

Ji Shuiyue stood with her hands behind her hands, looking at the poetic splashes of ink in the sky, with a bit of disappointment in her eyes.

Yesterday, she finally gave up the stalemate and secretly made a bet in her heart. If Chi Xue was willing to come to form an alliance today, she would win. If Chi Xue still refused to come, she would give up the land in her hands to Chi Xue.

But now, it is approaching dusk. If you want to visit your door, you cannot choose after dark...

Is she destined to be unable to form an alliance with Chi Xue?

The more she thought about it, the more anxious Ji Shuiyue became.

As one of the main forces of the Second Prince's faction, Chi Xue should be squatting in the imperial city and waiting for the Second Prince's return.

Unexpectedly, she was living a comfortable and enjoyable life here.

Looking at the chaotic raindrops outside the window, Ji Shuiyue slowly clenched her pink fists.

Wait, wait, wait...

…

Time passed little by little.

Yan Po in the backyard had already put on the saddle and was sitting sideways on the crossbar of the carriage, eyes closed, waiting patiently.

The afterglow of dusk dispersed in the drizzle, and a vast halo spread across the foggy sky, like a piece of yellowed rice paper, which made her feel a little unhappy.

Ji Shuiyue finally pushed open the carved sandalwood door, opened the snow-stepping red plum oil-paper umbrella in her hand, and placed the thin wooden handle on her collarbone.

She walked step by step, her heavy feet stepping on the water, creating ripples in circles.

Everything was quiet, so quiet that it made her a little angry.

At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came, and the splash of water made the peach blossom tremble.

Ji Shuiyue raised the red umbrella slightly, and her eyes were slightly unhappy under the misty red gauze.

She is in a bad mood now.

"Why are you so alarmed?"

The girl in charge lowered the umbrella in her hand and bowed humbly: "Miss Ye, Miss Chi is here."

For a moment, the umbrella in Ji Shuiyue's hand almost fell over. She was stunned for a moment, and then her delicate flower-like lips slowly raised a smile.

"Butler, go to the backyard and tell Mr. Yan: Our second chance has come."

After saying that, she moved her sleeves, her light steps like the beautiful peach blossoms spinning on the surface of Jinghu Lake.

Staring into the distance, his blood-red eyes were full of confidence that he would win.

…

Chi Xue came alone this time.

It was still the plain exotic-style gown, but there were some water stains on the corners. Although it was tiny, she could see Chi Xue's hurry.

She narrowed her eyes and smiled, put away the red umbrella, and her soft voice slowly sounded in the hall.

"Master Chi Xue, I haven't seen you for a few days, I'm really missing you."

Chi Xue looked at Ji Shuiyue with a pair of calm eyes, no longer pretending to be deaf and dumb as before, he nodded slightly to her as a greeting, and then went straight to the point.

"Miss Ye, may I ask how I can get the thousand acres of fertile land you have?"

Ji Shuiyue narrowed her eyes and smiled, with a hint of admiration on her pretty red lips, "Fertile land? Oh, all the land I know seems to be wasteland."

Chi Xue's delicate white fingertips clicked, "Miss Ye, don't pretend to be stupid. When you saw me at the inn a few days ago, you hesitated for a moment and then rushed to this remote county town, just to get the land first.

?"

She raised her eyes, and her dark eyes were as clear as snow-capped mountains and seas, which made Ji Shuiyue's heart tighten inexplicably.
