The Legend of Princess Qingping
Chapter 3. Refusing Application

...Starting from this chapter would probably be less mention for Xiao Qing since she was already Liu Qingqing. So, the reader just needs to remember Liu Qingqing's body Xiao Qing's soul. I'm sure the reader is already on smart hehehe...

Liu Qingqing did not reply. He further suppressed his chai as if the desire to take Liu Yifei's life was unstoppable anymore. A smile was clearly plastered on his somewhat pale face.

"Mother, help me! I don't want to die young!" yoyu Yifei shouted with a pale face. His body shook violently accompanied by a cold light. He really felt his life was on the edge of the horn.

"Liu Yifei, aren't you also planning to kill me?" asked Liu Qingqing. He learned from the novel that Liu Yifei and Li Shu were the masterminds of Liu Qingqing's sinking in the West Lake. "I'm just replying to what you did the other day!"

Li Shu understood very well about Liu Qingqing's intentions. However, seeing his son threatened he could not be silent. "Liu Qingqing, don't mess around! I can ask the waiter to arrest you!"

"Please, if you want to see Liu Yifei's corpse now!" threatening Liu Qingqing was not fooling around.

Bai Liu who was looking from the start was very surprised by Liu Qingqing's change in attitude. Previously Liu Qingqing was a submissive and meek girl, but after coming to her senses from the coma she had changed completely. Liu Qingqing began to bravely fight against Li Shu and Liu Yufei.

Inwardly Bai Liu felt pleased, but he also felt a little worried. Bai Liu was afraid that Li Shu and Liu Yifei would not remain silent after today's troubles. "Miss, please don't be rash. I'm afraid they'll hurt you back."

Liu Qingqing looked towards Bai Liu. "Liu'er, don't worry. They will not dare to mess around again. If Li Shu wants to hurt me, I'll make sure Liu Yifei gets killed first."

Hearing Liu Qingqing's statement, Liu Yifei shivered even more. How could he not feel afraid of Liu Qingqing's threat, because from the look in his eyes alone it was already showing killing intent. "Liu Qingqing, please don't kill me! I'm sorry for what happened at the lake the other day, but I definitely won't repeat it. I promise!"

"Huft, it's easy to say that!" the Liu Qingqing. He obviously would not easily forgive their actions after intending to kill himself. "I will make a reckoning with you for all your evil deeds against me. From now on I am no longer the Liu Qingqing that you guys easily bully. I'm also not a waitress you can ask me to. Li Shu, you listen carefully, if you don't want Liu Yifei to suffer any further you better follow all my words!"

Li Shu asked, "What do you want?"

Liu Qingqing replied, "First prepare breakfast for me and Bai Liu. Second send all the bookkeeping family business here. Third don't bother me and Bai Liu anymore, let alone intend to harm us!"

"That's all?" ask Li Shu again.

"Quite three things I mentioned for the time being," Liu Qingqing replied indifferently.

"Mother quickly followed her wish, I was really scared. I don't want to die now, Mother!" lui Yifei's whine accompanied by a cry. Her tears began to roll down her cheeks. If it continues to be left perhaps he will soon faint on the spot.

Li Shu nodded with a heavy heart. Although she wanted to refuse, but her daughter's life was far more precious than Liu Qingqing's three easy requests. "I will follow all your requests, but let Liu Yifei go!"

"After breakfast is ready and all the bookkeeping documents are sent, I'll release them!" liu Qingqing coldly explained.

Immediately after that Li Shu walked out of the room to fulfill Liu Qingqing's request. It did not take long for a stack of bookkeeping documents to be sent to Liu Qingqing's room by the two maids. Liu Yifei himself had been seated in a chair with his hands and feet bound.

Bai Liu was still unable to clear his mind with all the things that had happened. Liu Qingqing's attitude was very contrary to his habits. Whether it was a good thing or not, Bai Liu could only hope that everything would be fine.

Liu Qingqing watched Bai Liu as she waited for breakfast to arrive. He said something as if understanding about his servant's anxiety. "Liu'er, you don't have to worry, from now on I will protect you!"

Bai Liu did not know what to say, it was quite a surprise. Although Liu Qingqing's voice sounded quite firm, but it gave off a sweet taste. In the end all he could do was give a small nod as a sign of approval.

Thanks to reading the novel Xiao Qing could tell the suffering of Liu Qingqing and Bai Liu. He also understood the truth about the sinking of Liu Qingqing, masterminded by Li Shu and Liu Yifei. However, in order to avenge their crimes Xiao Qing had a much more interesting plan and it was not necessary to rush.

The first day of occupying a new body for Xiao Qing was exhausting even though not much activity was done. Bookkeeping checks ended until nightfall and Xiao Qing went to bed early. When he opened his eyes the sky was already bright again.

Bai Liu came to help Liu Qingqing clean up as usual. Breakfast was also prepared and delivered directly to the room. Even Li Shu and Liu Yifei did not create any trouble at all, either out of fear or just playing a step back trick to plot out other sneaky tricks.

In the afternoon someone honorable came to visit. He had evil intentions, but was well hidden in a smile. The man pretended to want to apply to become a family. What a good move, besides getting a beautiful wife also gained great power over thousands of troops.

It was fortunate that Liu Qingqing knew the person's intentions from the novel, otherwise it was impossible that she would be deceived. Liu Qingqing definitely had no power to resist, either because of the good looks and honor the man had or willingly because of first sight love. Judging from wherever the man who came did not have any flaws.

When Liu Qingqing encountered Zhou Yicheng in the main hall, she could not help but think inwardly. "How can this man be similar to Bei Muchhen? Was Bei Muchhen the reincarnation of the first prince? Or did Bei Muchhen also switch dimensions like me?"

Zhou Yicheng came with Guan Zhong from the State Affairs Division. The two did have a good relationship long ago so it is not surprising that they are often seen together. Liu Qingqing knew Guan Zhong was not a good person from the novel she had read, according to Liu Qingqing Guan Zhong like a cunning old fox.

The sound of silence from Guan Zhong drew Liu Qingqing's consciousness. He immediately bowed his body to greet with graceful movements. "Liu Qingqing saluted His Highness the First Prince and Master Guan. I just recovered from my coma so I can't welcome you guys well."

"No problem, Miss Liu's health is much more important," Zhou Yicheng said kindly. "May Miss Liu acknowledge our sudden arrival."

Liu Qingqing felt that in a moment there would be something not so good. There was no way Zhou Yicheng would come to visit for free. If the plot fits in the novel should be today their arrival because of a grand plan.

"Thanks to the Liu Family being able to get a grand guest today," Liu Qingqing said after sitting in her chair. "What is the need for Your Majesty to come here? I hope I can help a little."

"Miss Liu, this may be disrespectful and a little rushed. I came to ask you to be my wife. How's it?" ask Zhou Yicheng.

Liu Qingqing slightly smiled. He was not at all surprised by Zhou Yicheng's confession as this was what he was secretly waiting for. If it was not aware of the risks of this offer, it was clear Liu Qingqing would have accepted it immediately. Zhou Yicheng was, after all, a woman's dream man. Even the prime minister's only child, Song Nian, was very fond of Zhou Yicheng.

Still in a friendly manner Liu Qingqing replied, "I thank you for the goodwill, Your Majesty. Sorry I can't take it."

"Miss Liu, aren't you in too much of a hurry to make a decision? Shouldn't you think about it first?" guan Zhong asked half-persuadedly.

Zhou Yicheng did not like being rejected so he felt annoyed. However, he still maintained his decency in order to obtain the Feilong Plate. "Miss Liu, I can wait for your answer. You should discuss this matter with your mother and brother first and then make a decision afterwards. It is not good if the matter of marriage is directly decided by his own will."

"Your Highness Prince, it seems that you are slightly misunderstood. I am with them but our relationship is not good. Marriage problems are usually arranged by parents, but since my parents are both dead so all decisions are in my hands." Liu Qingqing explained each word calmly and clearly. There was firmness in the look of her bright eyes. From the beginning, she did not intend to be a submissive woman who took arranged marriages for granted.

"Then, why did you reject my good intentions?" zhou Yicheng asked a little curiously.

Liu Qingqing replied, "This is the third year my father died, how can I get married right away? Although it's allowed, but I don't think it's a good thing. In the end it will be people's conversation."

Guan Zhong did not remain silent. He chimed in, "People would not dare to talk carelessly about noble families, let alone this concerning the son of the king. The wedding can be done later, for a while just with the engagement."

"What Mr. Guan said is right, we can make the engagement first. Miss Liu, shouldn't mind, should you?"

It seemed like Zhou Yicheng was already completely determined to obtain Liu Qingqing. Although he proposed the engagement first, but it was no different from tying Liu Qingqing in his entanglement. If the engagement letter is already written it will be more difficult to remove it.

It had gotten to this point where Zhou Yicheng did not want to give up. Liu Qingqing could only frown. A smile of bitterness emerged as he said, "The Liu family despite its honorable look is just like an empty shell. In the end that honor will be lost if later me and Liu Yifei get married and leave the residence. I will be honest with His Highness the Prince if I want to strengthen the foundation of the Liu Family first. Marriage is not yet thought of."

Guan Zhong wanted to persuade Liu Qingqing once more, but before he spoke Liu Qingqing had already preceded him. "Mr Guan, please don't constantly persuade me. I have made my decision and am sorry for my disrespectful attitude. If nothing else, I will retreat because I still need to rest."

"Miss Liu, did you expel us?" guan Zhong asked with a slightly raised tone.

"If Mr. Guan wants to stay, go ahead! I can call Liu Yifei to accompany you!" Liu Qingqinq smiled slightly.

Zhou Yicheng's attitude was much more tolerant for now. He said as he pulled the tip of his lips up. "Since Miss Liu has to rest then we will go home. Marriage can be discussed again next time. If there are certain requirements, please do not hesitate to mention it. I will definitely try to fulfill Miss Liu's wish."

Liu Qingqing was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief after the departure of Zhou Yicheng and Guan Zhong. However, it was a pity that the two bullies came back with faces filled with anger.

"Liu Qingqing, why did you reject His Highness the First Prince's proposal?" li Shu asked while shouting.

For the next chapter may be up a bit long because you have to wait for acc from the editor first, so stay patient well beloved readers 😊😊
