Chapter 288 Reason 5
This thought made Ye Jianqing suddenly feel lost, as if she had been thrown into a bottomless abyss. Since she traveled to this era, more than 20 years or even 30 years have passed, right? During this period, she had experienced countless ups and downs, and had been reborn several times. She thought she had already adapted to the life in ancient times.
Although she never questioned the wisdom of the ancients, she always maintained a strong sense of superiority towards Lu Ci Qiu. She treated him as a child and taught and guided him with the modern way of thinking. However, she overlooked an important fact: this was not an ordinary child, but a noble son of the royal family.
He was a child born with conspiracy and calculation. Even though he was protected by Concubine Shu and Lu Zhixing, his growth was not smooth. There were also many ups and downs in places that others could not see. He stumbled and struggled to survive in that cannibalistic palace.
In contrast, she enjoys a stable and happy life in modern society. What qualifications does she have to blame this child?
The huge gap made it impossible for her to adjust her mentality for a while, which was why she reacted so strongly when Lu Ci Qiu suggested that Lin Ruoyun go and beat the drum to appeal for justice.
It was not only because beating the drum to appeal for justice might cause Lin Ruoyun to die on the spot, but more importantly, she knew that if the drum was struck, Lu Ci Qiu would definitely be found out to have instigated Lin Ruoyun. By then, everyone else would regard him as a thorn in their side, so how could they continue to tolerate him?
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Ye Jianqing covered her face and kept apologizing to Lu Ci Qiu. What she had just said was what a complete idiot would say. She felt that she was so stupid. What qualifications did she have to say these words here?
"Qing'er~" Seeing her like this, Lu Ci Qiu seemed a little flustered. After a flurry of activity, he sat next to Ye Jianqing.
Ye Jianqing still covered her face, but she could smell the scent of Lu Ciqiu, which was very similar to her own gardenia scent. When did his scent change from the sandalwood of the palace to such a pure gardenia scent? I still remember that he didn't smell like this when I first met him.
But now this smell greatly soothed her troubled mood.
Lu Ci Qiu gently patted Ye Jianqing's back and comforted her softly, "It's okay, Qing'er, it's okay. I know you are doing this for my own good, right?"
Ye Jianqing was in a state of confusion. Lu Ciqiu's gentleness and consideration made her panic. She felt as if something was out of control.
"Qing'er, can you talk to me?" Lu Ciqiu looked at Ye Jianqing with a wronged look on his face, as if he had been abandoned. Hearing this, Ye Jianqing couldn't help but raise his head and glared at him.
"Speak properly!" Ye Jianqing's voice was filled with a hint of dissatisfaction and shyness. She felt embarrassed by Lu Ciqiu's tone, so she asked him to be more serious.
Seeing Ye Jianqing's angry expression, Lu Ciqiu couldn't help but want to laugh. But he knew that he couldn't laugh too obviously now. If he completely annoyed Ye Jianqing and was kicked out, it would be the end of him. So he had to hold back his laughter and try to keep a serious expression.
"Qing'er, are you uncomfortable because of the suggestion I made that day?" Lu Ci Qiu asked cautiously. These days, he was busy with the affairs of the court, and he was thinking about Ye Jianqing all the time. The disappointed look of Ye Jianqing that day kept coming back to his mind, making him feel heartbroken. He didn't want Ye Jianqing to misunderstand him.
"Yes and no." Ye Jianqing hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to be honest. She had already lost face in front of Lu Ciqiu, so what else was there to hide? It would be better to speak directly to avoid causing herself more trouble.
