Leap Forward Comics: Watch How I Become a Villainess

Chapter 67 Chao Huaiyuan's Peach Blossom Tribulation

Chao Huaiyuan was supposed to return to the capital two days ago, but he is now delayed in Shilin County. Liu Xiao wrote a letter back to Magistrate Liu, saying that he had met a benefactor and had obtained an official position. He was going to go to the capital with the magistrate. After that, he waited to return to the capital with Chao Huaiyuan while continuing to help Lu He with the preparations.

Lu He spent the last two days preparing for her trip to the capital. She had already persuaded Chao Huaiyuan to secretly take her back to the capital to settle down.

However, An Linqing is still a criminal and it is not easy to expose his identity. The entire An family was convicted and none of them escaped punishment. An Linqing should also be a dead man.

Lu He still has a trump card to play against the female lead in the capital who is using Nie Qing's identity: Lu He still possesses all of Nie Qing's memories. Therefore, as long as she can see Minister Nie, she can sow discord between the father and daughter.

Lu He had already made up his mind: no matter what, he had to kill the real female lead first when he went to the capital, otherwise she would become the great enemy of the Eldest Princess.

Lu He had just contacted the system yesterday, and the answer he received was still that it was under emergency repair. He even began to doubt whether his system was up to the task and whether it could handle the problem.

She only received a hesitant and uncertain answer from the system, telling her to proceed with the plan as usual. It was only a matter of time before she returned to the princess's body, but it would take some time, and she should be patient.

Lu He didn't have too many doubts. Besides, she could use the cheats as she pleased now, so why not? She could just treat herself as a pay-to-win player and have fun first.

Just as they were about to set off after completing their preparations, Princess Chengde suddenly arrived in Shilin County.

"Who is this Princess Chengde?" Lu He asked Chao Huaiyuan, who was about to go out to greet her.

“She’s the second princess… well, a real problem.” Chao Huaiyuan looked troubled, as if he didn’t want to see her. “But she’s a princess, so I have no choice but to greet her…”

Seeing that he was stammering and seemed to be hiding something, Lu He simply stopped asking him.

He turned around and asked the system.

"Princess Chengde has long admired Chao Huaiyuan. You must not show yourself, otherwise if she wants to kill you, Chao Huaiyuan will not be able to protect you," the system warned.

"Princess Chengde is not yet married?" Lu He was subconsciously taken aback. This was the second princess, and she had taken a fancy to Chao Huaiyuan? Chao Huaiyuan was only seventeen years old, and the second princess was probably second only to the eldest princess in age. That must be...

I remember when I was researching the history of this world's dynasties last time, it said that the crown prince was the sixth son, and he was competing with the third prince. The emperor only had these two sons, and the rest were all princesses.

Just then, Chao Huaiyuan knelt down in front of the door to greet Princess Qiannü.

Lu He hid behind a pillar by the side door, peering out, curious to know what kind of beauty Princess Chengde possessed.

Surrounded by a group of palace maids and eunuchs bustling around, a girl who looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old came into view, about the same age as An Linqing.

Huh? Isn't that the Second Princess? How come she's so young? Could it be that the Eldest Princess isn't very old either? Good heavens, how young must the Third Prince and the Crown Prince be? Already mired in the murky waters of power struggles?

"System, what is the princess's age? Does she have a husband?" Lu He realized he needed to confirm some things.

"18 years old, no husband yet." This was the key information.

In other words, by ruining the marriage between the Chao and Nie families, there will be no story of the male and female protagonists falling in love after marriage. Lu He's acceptance of An Linqing's identity is an absolutely brilliant move!

If Chao Huaiyuan doesn't get married, the princess can make him her consort, thus binding the male lead to serve the princess. In the future, when Lu He returns to her correct villainous identity, she will still receive the male lead's help.

but……

Lu He frowned as he looked at Chengde, who was now happily talking to Chao Huaiyuan with a beaming smile.

It seems that other high-ranking princesses are also eyeing this young general, and the unfortunate part is that if Chao Huaiyuan refuses to marry Nie Qing, he will no longer be engaged... Chengde probably won't budge, so we need to think of a solution...
