After Getting a System, I Targeted the Wrong Person!
8. Reconcile
As soon as Wen Yi Xue arrived back home, she rushed to her bed not caring if she should showered or not
She had used her brain too much at today's banquet and she needed some sleep
Fortunately she was able to eat delicious food that had boosted her thinking power
Wen Yi Xue quickly jolted awake
Wen Yi Xue
My graduation ceremony!
TangEr
(When did Miss graduate?)
Suddenly TangEr came into view, so Wen Yi Xue calmed down
Wen Yi Xue remembered that she had suddenly been thrust into a world and her system was still missing
TangEr
Miss... it's noon now
Wen Yi Xue
So what? I'm going back to sleep...
Wen Yi Xue
(Wait... What is the female lead doing? I still have to find who the male lead is?)
Wen Yi Xue suddenly got up
Wen Yi Xue
TangEr, let's go to the palace
TangEr
But Miss... You can't enter the palace without special permission or being summon
Wen Yi Xue
But I guess if it wasn't then every single one of the royal family would be dead by now
TangEr
You can't speak ill of the royal family
Wen Yi Xue
What is there to be afraid of, there is just you and me
TangEr
Miss... You are careless
Wen Yi Xue
Where is the female lead?
Wen Yi Xue
I meant Wen Yue, my older sister
TangEr
Miss Wen Yue is in her manor caring for her sick mother
Wen Yi Xue
Great, let's go there
TangEr
Miss, concubine isn't feeling well, I don't think now is the right time to go and cause trouble
Wen Yi Xue
Who says anything about causing trouble?
Wen Yi Xue
I just want to visit my older sister and my sick concubine mother
However, Wen Yi Xue didn't listen, she dragged TangEr along telling her to lead the way
Wen Yi Xue
OMG! Who would live here?
TangEr
(OMG? What kind of word is that?)
Wen Yi Xue looked around her
The living conditions were poor, a sharp contrast to the wealth and comfort of Wen Yi Xue living quarters. The house was small and run-down, with cracked walls and creaky wooden floors that groaned underfoot. The roof, patched in several places, looked as though it could leak with the slightest rain.
Wen Yue heard Wen Yi Xue and came out. Despite the meager surroundings, there was a quiet dignity in the way that the female lead carried herself, unaffected by the hardships of her living conditions.
Wen Yi Xue
(Truly benefiting a female lead)
Wen Yue
What are you doing here?
Wen Yue
If you come here to mess around then I suggest you leave
Wen Yue
My mother isn't feeling well and I don't have time to play your little games
Wen Yi Xue
Ah, it isn't like that
Wen Yue
Wen Yi Xue, please leave
Wen Yi Xue
But, I wasn't looking for trouble
Wen Yue
I don't believe it
Fan Jia (Concubine)
YueEr?
Fan Jia (Concubine)
Don't be rude to our guest
Wen Yue
What are you doing out of bed?
Fan Jia (Concubine)
Young Miss, come inside
Fan Jia (Concubine)
Our house is humble so please excuse our lack of hospitality
Wen Yue didn't want to welcome Wen Yi Xue but since her mother has invited her inside, she couldn't chase her away
Wen Yi Xue quickly took her chance to come inside the house
They sat down at a small rusty table
Fan Jia (Concubine)
YueEr, bring some tea for the Miss.
Wen Yue sent Wen Yi Xue a glare as if telling her that if she tried anything to her mother then Wen Yue wouldn't hold back
Fan Jia (Concubine)
Miss... Is there a reason you came to see us?
Wen Yi Xue
Oh... I just wanted to take a walk around...
Wen Yi Xue
(I also wanted to see who she was more attracted to last night...)
Fan Jia (Concubine)
(cough)
Fan Jia broke down into a series of coughs and Wen Yi Xue out of habit, patted her back
Fan Jia (Concubine)
I'm alright now
Wen Yi Xue
Concubine mother, don't you think living here isn't good for your health?
Fan Jia only smiled in response which left Wen Yi Xue utterly confusion
At the next moment, Wen Yue entered with a tray of tea cups and a tea pot
She carefully poured one for her mother while TangEr poured one for Wen Yi Xue
Fan Jia (Concubine)
This is the best tea we got, I hope the Miss don't mind
Wen Yi Xue
I'm not a big tea drinker either
Wen Yi Xue
(I drink milk tea, banana milk, and my yogurt drink...)
Wen Yi Xue
(I'm suddenly craving some now...)
She tried to remember why she had come here tonight
Everyone looked at Wen Yi Xue in shock
Especially Wen Yue, it was as if she suffered a huge blow
Wen Yi Xue
Jiejie... How was the banquet last night?
Wen Yue
Didn't you also attend the banquet as well?
Wen Yi Xue
Yeah... But I was busy eating the food
TangEr
(Well... Miss wasn't lying.... She made sure to eat everything that was on the table, not wasting a single one...)
Wen Yue
It was the same as usual
Wen Yue
What else is there to be mention?
Wen Yi Xue
Like anyone who caught your eye?
Wen Yue
(What kind of trap is this?)
Wen Yi Xue
Like those two handsome guys who suddenly appeared?
Wen Yue
You mean the second prince and fifth prince?
Wen Yue
If you are worried about me liking the second prince, no need to worry.
Wen Yue
I already know that father is planning on getting you engaged to the second prince
Wen Yi Xue
That wasn't what I meant!
Wen Yi Xue
I was just wondering if anyone caught your eye...
Wen Yue
If you are done, please leave
Wen Yi Xue
Oh... it's alright
Wen Yi Xue
I'm done anyways
Fan Jia (Concubine)
YueEr see the young Miss out
In the end, Wen Yue escorted her out to the door
Wen Yue
Wen Yi Xue, I don't know what you are planning what you better not mess with my mother
Wen Yi Xue
Jiejie... You misunderstood me!
Wen Yi Xue
I only want to reconcile with you, after all we are sisters
Wen Yue
Sure, if you truly want to reconcile then go away, but just because you want to reconcile doesn't mean that I have to accept it
Wen Yue shut the door in her face
TangEr
Miss, you came here with good intentions but Miss Wen Yue-
Wen Yi Xue
It's alright if it was also me then I wouldn't believe myself either
