Yuan Xin gave a start, but she did not look as upset as before. All she did was give a bitter smile. “It has nothing to do with you. His misunderstanding of me didn’t happen over these few days. It’s just one more thing out of many about me that he has misunderstood.”
Lu Liangwei could tell that she cared about Beitang Rui, but for some reason, they did not have a good relationship.
“You like him a lot,” Lu Liangwei suddenly said with conviction when she saw the depressed look on Yuan Xin’s face.
Yuan Xin looked uncomfortable when she heard this, but did not deny it. Instead, she said sadly, “I’m out of my league.”
“Why would you say that?” Lu Liangwei could not understand why Yuan Xin would belittle herself this way.
Yuan Xin sighed. “I’ve known Beitang Rui since we were young. I’ve liked him since forever, but he doesn’t feel the same way. I was only able to marry him probably because my father had suggested this to the Emperor. The Emperor would never reject the request of the Yuan family because of the power it holds in the imperial court. However, Beitang Rui didn’t want to marry me—he was forced to do so because of my father’s influence in the imperial court. From his point of view, our family forced him into this marriage. He had no choice but to marry me and, under such circumstances, it’s only normal that he hates me.
“I’ve been married to him for more than two years. I thought I could change his heart and make him like me, but it was just a pipe dream. His heart doesn’t have a place for me and all he feels for me is disgust. If not for my father’s influence in the imperial court, he would have kicked me out of his house ages ago. More than two years on, I finally understand that everything I did was just a waste of effort. I had overestimated myself!”
Lu Liangwei listened quietly as Yuan Xin told her about this. There was bitterness on her face, but there was no regret. This proved that Yuan Xin did not regret marrying Beitang Rui.
She had initially thought that Beitang Rui did not like Yuan Xin because of her face, but now it looked like this was not the reason. Beitang Rui was cold toward Yuan Xin because he was wary of the Yuan family.
“Yuan Xin, you shouldn’t belittle yourself this way. From what I can see, Beitang Rui is not without feelings for you.”
Yuan Xin was taken aback. When she realized what Lu Liangwei had just said, the light in her eyes dimmed and she shook her head, smiling bitterly. “There’s no need to make fun of me. Beitang Rui would have feelings for anybody but me. All he feels for me is a never-ending disgust.”
Lu Liangwei patted Yuan Xin’s hand. “You should have more confidence in yourself. If he doesn’t have any feelings for you, he wouldn’t have gotten so angry just now. I can tell that you have a place in his heart. I think even he doesn’t realize that. The only reason he was so angry is because he cares about you. He thought there was something between us and his reaction wouldn’t fool anyone.”
Yuan Xin was a little stunned. “How could that be? He was angry because I embarrassed him. After all, I have the title of Princess Consort Rui and every action I take represents the Prince Rui Mansion. If any scandal happens because of me, he will lose respect.”
Lu Liangwei felt a little exasperated when she saw Yuan Xin refusing to believe her.
She could understand why Yuan Xin would have such low self-esteem. This was because of her scarred face.
Yuan Xin felt nothing good was possible because she was ugly.
Lu Liangwei sighed and did not try to convince Yuan Xin any further. The best way was to treat the scar on her face.
Yuan Xin had helped her so much and it was time for Lu Liangwei to repay Yuan Xin.
The best way to repay her was to cure her face.
The carriage had been moving forward slowly.
However, right at that moment, the carriage suddenly stopped.
Yuan Xin assumed they had arrived at the Yuan family’s mansion. She was about to say something when she heard the coachman’s voice from outside. “Who are you, how dare you…”
