His Rui

Chapter 434 – Li Na Wants To Go Out

The next day in the early morning, Li Na got to know that Lu Jianye has made his parents agree to accept her as his main wife.

Sitting in front of the dressing table, Li Na smiled proudly.

"He is mesmerized by my beauty."  Li Na said to herself.

"Yes, Yes, Young Miss is too beautiful."

Her maidservant who was standing behind her praised her openly. She was relieved to see her mistress happy. As long as her mistress was happy, she would see some peaceful days.

However, Li Na was not satisfied with this praise. She looked at her maid through the mirror and asked her.

"Am I more beautiful than that Li Rui?"

The maid was caught off guard. She had not expected her mistress to ask such a question in response to her praise.

She was reluctant for a moment. Elder Miss Li was obviously more beautiful than any other lady in Li Manor so the maid didn't know if she should lie or not. However, the next moment the maid got her answer when she remembered how her mistress disliked Elder Miss Li so much.

So she said

"Yes, My Lady is more beautiful than Elder Young Miss."

Li Na had a very satisfied expression until the first few words but when she heard Elder Young Miss, her face went sour again.

Li Rui being the elder amongst them has always been a wound inside her heart that had never healed. In Li Na's mind, all the privileges Li Rui got was because she was the daughter of a father who was General and she was the eldest daughter.

She picked the bottle of perfume and suddenly turned around to throw it on the maid's face. The maid's head was lowered and she never knew that unfortunately she again has irked her mistress.

The bottle hit her forehead and she screamed in fear and pain. The blood started to trickle down her forehead but she had to bite down her lips to stop herself from whimpering.

"I am the Elder Miss now."

Li Na said as she panted heavily in anger.

"Yes, Yes Young Miss."

The maid said hurriedly and Li Na hmphed coldly. As she decorated herself more and more, she continued to murmur how LI Rui's maids were more intelligent and sensible than her.

The maid stood silent as Li Na readied herself. In the beginning, forgetting the wound on her forehead, she had wanted to offer help but then thought the opposite.

There was no guarantee that her mistress would like her make up when she was in bad mood and hence she will be awarded with one more wound on her body. Thinking this, she just stayed at her place.

"Let's go."

Li Na stood up from the chair placed in front of the dressing table after she was satisfied with her make up.

"Young Miss"

The maid looked at Li Na's face with a weird expression and called out her mistress.

"What?"   

Li Na responded rudely. The maid flinched at the mere sound but still gathered the courage to speak and said

"Young Miss, your face looks too pale."

Li Na rolled her eyes and said again

"So…"

The maid had a confused face and Li Na cursed again. This stupid maid! Couldn't she understand that she had made her face pale with the help of make-up intentionally? She too had a mirror to look at her face after all.

Li Na sighed heavily at her own fate. When she will become Lu Jianye's wife then she will choose her own servants and maids.

She thought proudly. After all, the power of the main wife was never to be trifled with. At the same time, the face of that cold and indifferent man flashed inside Li Na's mind. However with that, Li Rui's face also flashed inside her mind.

Li Na felt her heart filling up with resentment. In the end, Li Rui still had the man she had wanted and she could not take Xi Ying away from her.

Her contempt filled eyes moved to the maid and she shouted at her.

"Go and put something on your wound. Do you want my father to know that I hit you so that he will order me to stay inside this hell for longer?"

The maid instantly shook her head. She never wanted this.     

The maid ran away from there immediately to put some make-up on the wound.

When she came back, Li Na hurriedly started to walk towards the exit of her courtyard.

There was still half shichen left for the Imperial Assembly to start so Li Na knew that Li Qiang will still be in Li Manor. Today, she wanted him to allow her to leave the Li Manor.

It has been almost a month now and she had not left Li Manor at all.

"I want to see Father."

Li Na said to the guard who was standing outside her father's courtyard.

The guard went inside while Li Na's eyes flashed with resentment again. 

In the past, she didn't need to wait outside her father's courtyard like this. After all, she was his daughter. It only started a month ago. She had tried to see her father many times in the past month but every time she was refused and would be stopped outside his courtyard only.

It was all because of Li Rui!

She could not help but think again. It was Li Rui who told everything to Xi Ying and made him hate her. It was because her father got to know about this.

It was because of her, her father hated her. 

'Li Rui, one day I will surely see you in the same situation and that day I will laugh at you. I will make you so helpless that you will feel like dying.'

She mumbled to herself.

Even now, she couldn't feel that fate was no longer in her favor. She couldn't feel Lu Jianye's love for herself. She couldn't cherish it.

She still wanted Xi Ying who already belonged to Li Rui completely.

In the end, what she wanted was doom and she was going to get it…. very soon.
