Villain Lady - Chapter 327
‘How stupid am I to not realize such a point?’
Authors loved to revive some dead characters at some point, so unless they stated the character’s death properly, there was always chance that the character was actually still alive. There were several characters whom Wei Xiao Hua never witness their deaths. But by now, Wei Xiao Hua was certain that only some of them were truly dead because the novel only stated clearly for some characters.
The second prince was only one of them whom the novel mentioned that Prince Ji Shu told the main character.
The process nor the method was never properly mentioned.
Wei Xiao Hua laughed bitterly. Her oversight of the novel truly brought her a great disaster right now. If only she had been more careful and not just flaunting what she had known from the novel, she might have a better chance to survive everything.
But, how could she know that it would end up this way?
She never asked to be transmigrated in the first place, either.
Yet, she had come to love this place after staying for a period of time.
“You’re not killing her?” Prince Ji Shao Yang asked.
Prince Ji Sheng shook his head. “I have already made a promise with Ji Shu that I’ll not touch his wife.”
It was one of the agreement that they made with each other. Prince Ji Sheng and his soldiers will not touch Wei Xiao Hua at all. They would leave her alive or just let other factions to make the move.
Prince Ji Shao Yang arched his eyebrows. “I see.”
“She recognize you.”
“I have already shown my face in front of her once in the past,” Prince Ji Shao Yang admitted. He was about to speak more when he sensed someone coming. Turning his head to the side, he could see Wei Liuying and Yang Xian walked in their directions.
“Will you take over from here?” Yang Xian asked.
Prince Ji Shao Yang nodded. “It’s the agreement we have with each other, isn’t that right, Miss Wei Liuying?”
Wei Liuying?
Wei Xiao Hua, who was still trying to comprehend the reason for her failure widened her eyes. She wiped her tears and looked in Wei Liuying’s direction. All this time, she had never met with Strategist Liu directly because Ji Shu will not allow her to meet with the males so easily. Even in the temple, she was not able to get a clear look at Strategist Liu because Gao Ling was occupying her attention.
Now that she could see Wei Liuying clearly, she could see the striking similarities that Strategist Liu had with Wei Liuying. The only difference was that Strategist Liu was wearing male clothing with standard hairstyle that most men have around here.
“Impossible…” Wei Xiao Hua murmured.
Wei Liuying should have died during the time she tried to let her uncle escaped. There shouldn’t be any way for her to escape from the chase of the guards from the prison back then.
In addition, she had asked Ji Shu to send his men to chase after Wei Liuying in order to confirm her death. Could it be that in the first place, Wei Liuying never died during the battle and was instead saved by Yang Xian or Prince Ji Sheng and then departed to the north?
After all, the original novel did mention about Strategist Liu.
Then, Wei Xiao Hua recalled the author’s sneaky habit.
It wouldn’t be strange if she actually made a complicated villain in the story and then chose to use the same character, yet didn’t reveal it to the readers until the end of the story. After all, she didn’t manage to finish the entire story back then.
By now, Wei Xiao Hua felt that the reason for Yang Xian’s despair was clearer by now. Because Strategist Liu was actually a woman whom Yang Xian loved, making a mistake where he killed her would surely haunt him really badly.
Did it mean that the deviation was actually Wei Liuying?
Thinking about it now, there were several things that Wei Xiao Hua had actually changed around Wei Liuying’s life. From small things to bigger things, Wei Xiao Hua had continuously interfered in Wei Liuying’s life. Or could it be…?
“You… are also a transmigrator?”
“Transmigrator?” Yang Xian asked while tilting his head. He had finally arrived by their sides while the soldiers were still in a stalemate as no one dared to make the first move. “What’s the meaning of that word?”
“This is the first time I heard it too,” Wei Liuying admitted. She might have read a lot of books when she visited the bookstore, but there were still many others that she hadn’t read.
Prince Ji Sheng arched his eyebrows as it was an unfamiliar term to him. He glanced at Prince Ji Shao Yang, who also looked confused. From the expression in his face, it seemed that Prince Ji Shao Yang was considering that Wei Xiao Hua might have turned crazy from losing her husband like this.
Xie Jing blinked his eyes. “Maybe she’s talking about migration?”
“Neither one of us ever migrate from other places, though?” Yang Xian said again.
Wei Liuying passed a glance at Yang Xian. “Didn’t you migrate from your village to Prince Ji Sheng’s City?”
“Then you also migrate from the Capital City to Prince Ji Sheng’s City.”
Prince Ji Sheng: “…” I don’t think the word migrate will be suitable for that case since it’s only an individual. If he was not wrong, migration meant a large number of people moving from one place to another place.
Listening to their conversation and their genuinely confused expression, Wei Xiao Hua felt her mind blanked out. It turned out there was never any other transmigrated person in this world like her. Everyone was someone who had been living their lives in this world from the very moment they were born.
Then… the one who made deviation was her?
Wei Xiao Hua’s brain was churning as she looked at her third sister.
The first change that she made was not far from the first day of her transmigration, which was the day she chose to visit the clothes store. After all, Wei Xiao Hua was still not used with the changes that occurred and chose to take a look at the brand new world before her. At that time, Wei Liuying had gone out of the carriage for a moment, an event that never took place in the novel.
The second change was the lantern festival where originally, Wei Liuying and Wei Zilin would be following her when she had her date. At that time, Wei Liuying disappeared and then there was a plot derailment regarding Princess Ji Xiaoli.
‘Wei Liuying have martial arts…’
So it meant Wei Liuying must have been the one who helped Princess Ji Xiaoli and thus, it completely changed the future events. With Princess Ji Xiaoli still loved by the people, they wouldn’t try to slight her openly even if they knew that she would be married off.
It changed the structure of the noble parties.
The third change was when Wei Hong Zheng was wounded because Wei Xiao Hua didn’t want him to attend. Yet he still attended…. No, he never attended the hunt. The one on that day was Wei Liuying.
The fourth difference was the scene in the academy. For some reasons, even though Wei Xiao Hua had calculated the timing properly by following the novel, she was still late. Since she had followed the same timing precisely, the one that was different had to be the conversation she had with the male there.
The male there… Wei Xiao Hua faintly recalled that the author described the man as a young man, who was dressed in strange clothes and came from the north. At that time, Wei Xiao Hua didn’t pay much attention to the description but thinking about it again, it must have been Yang Xian.
The conversation between Wei Liuying and Yang Xian on the day of the academy was different.
Thus it changed the course once more.
It was all her.
Now, Wei Xiao Hua felt that all of the puzzles pieces were already placed in the rightful place.
The real reason why she failed was simply because her attempt to change the course of the events early in the beginnings led the most dangerous person to be diverging from the original path.
