4 Little scheme (2/2)
”I said I am backing out, this royal princess is too unexperienced!” Wei Xia Ri stated, sounding aggrieved towards a haughty looking Meimei and a pair of giggling twins.
Upon entry into the said shop, people filled the tables. There were so many of them men looking for women and vice versa. But Wei Xia Ri's gaze gets drawn to the ceiling, unwilling to sit with at least one man. After all the dates she went to in the past, extending the undefeatable track record of her failed dates was too much!
Thankfully, everyone was required to wear masks and talk before each other while a hazy curtain is in between them. Because of the gender teachings, a policy like this in the store was fitting.

Nevertheless, the proud tyrant retraced her steps back to meimei's delivery service business upstairs. The matchmakers follow her with sunken shoulders. The priority was for the tyrant to be married off and lessen her influence through the man she marries. If possible, a powerless noble was the best pick.
Initially, Wei Xia RI was oblivious to the king's intention but after a good analysis after some notions with both the royal couple's actions and the matchmakers' choices of grooms; figuring out such little scheme was too much. Wei Xia Ri appreciated the given authority, wealth and influence she received upon coming here. No way is she willing to let these go in exchange for a silly title!
”This is enough, I cannot tolerate this any longer. I am not marrying such foolish men!”
”But your highness, the word of the emperor is absolute.”
'So long as his backing supports him! That is me you wretches!' she wanted to answer. The tyrant in her rampaged and roared in her mind, it has already been going on for a long while now.
The royal princess lifts her nose to the air and gave her companions a superior glance. Intentionally or not, the tyrant with such a scary face made goosebumps running down their arms.
”Let's go. I have one more day left, too many hours left.”
”Royal princess, how about we talk this over dinner?” pleaded one of the twins. Her voice was hesitant but such valiance made the transmigrator feel impressed. Though knowing the original's sinful reputation, the woman really cared more for her life than a life worse than death. Wei Xia RI did not know if the twin was smart or foolish.
”You... Want to dine with this general?” she tested.
Meimei came next about protecting her neck. She drops to the ground and kowtows. ”This servant does not dare. It is only out of pure concern with your highness' happiness!”
But Wei Xia Ri was not the tyrant. She immediately felt uncomfortable with the matchmakers' concerning fears. ”I was only asking if you wanted to dine so that I can inform my cooks to make more. This general is tired.”
Without looking back, the woman of interest turned on her heels and headed towards the Wei Mansion.
Unknown to her, a hooded figure has been stalking her since she left the shop. Even the imperial guards did not notice the man but even if they did, they would probably pay no heed to such man.
The tyrant was a trained martial artist with kin senses, so sooner or later, Wei Xia Ri felt such weak presence. Yet she shrugged and continued.
