Transmigration: The Fate of the Villainess

Chapter 15: Are you this gentle to every woman? Part I

“Yu-er”

“...”

“Yu-er”

“...”

“Miss Bai”

“Yes?”

“Are you feeling unwell anywhere?”

.....

“I...um, I...”

“Did benwang interrupt Miss Bai’s rest?”

“No, not at all, Your Highness. That was rude of me.”

Bai Yu lowered her head to escape from his caring eyes. Her heart was racing because of her own feeling, not the body’s...No matter which life, those eyes could still lure her in.

Was fate playing a cruel joke on her? Or was this the punishment for an evil woman who fell so completely in love with one man that she did not value her own life?

The first day she transmigrated she met Bai Hua, the heroine who looked exactly like Song Lianhua in her former life. Now today she had to meet the secondary male lead. ‘Wei Wang’ or ‘Ouyang Wenrou’ who was the spitting image of Li Wenrou.

O death...why could it not have the slightest mercy on her?

She gripped her hands again. The pain in her fingertips amplified as bright red blood started seeping out. A reminder that she could not escape her reality, not even by death.

“Miss Bai!” The gentle voice showed surprise. Two large hands took her bloodied ones into his hold in an attempt to stop her from hurting herself again. For a brief second, Bai Yu saw reprimand within those brown eyes.

Ouyang Wenrou released his hands from the woman who kept escaping his gaze. He let royal doctor Mu check the wound and stop the bleeding. He was surprised to see the ever-calm and collected Miss Bai in a daze like this. And how she gripped her hands when their eyes met...Just when did Miss Bai have him in her sight?

Since long ago, only his third brother Ouyang Mingxian could get any reaction other than formality and manner from Miss Bai. She did not care about anyone else, not him, not even Taizi. Then what did the reaction just now mean?

“Apologies to Doctor Mu. I was feeling a little unwell so I unconsciously gripped my hands.” Bai Yu tried to make an excuse, though it was not quite convincing. Her mind was so filled with the events of her old life that finding her voice to speak was the best she could do.

Her face was still lowered. Her eyes shut tight while her heart tried to suppress the feelings for the man who had the same face and personality as her past lover.

“Miss Bai’s wound is healing slower than normal,” royal doctor Mu said after stopping the bleeding.

“What do you mean?” Ouyang Wenrou asked with a face full of worry.

“I think it is because of the magic within Miss Bai’s body, Your Highness.”

“Yu-er’s magic is stronger than any woman. Why would it hinder her recovery?” Yue Mei was flustered. At the same time, Bai Yu sat still and listened to the doctor calmly without any trace of her out-of-character behavior moments before. She tried to stop her feelings from leaking out any more than this. Remember, this man is Ouyang Wenrou, not that Li Wenrou.

“About this matter, may Wangye please take part in inspecting Miss Bai’s condition.” The royal doctor Mu who had light orange magic turned to Wei Wang, who was renowned for his skill in healing with magic.

Ouyang Wenrou was the ninth son of the current Emperor, born to a royal consort rank Pin. His mother died in childbirth, so he was raised by the former Empress who was Ouyang Mingxian’s birth mother. All in Da Yang knew that if a child was favored by the Emperor ‘Ouyang Hongxian’, that child would have the character ‘Xian’ in their name to resemble his. It was clear that Ouyang Wenrou was not one of them.

But it was also known by all that Ouyang Wenrou had the ability to heal others with magic, different from how most magic was used in fighting. He had the level of dark red magic, inferior only to very few people in the royal family, leading to him finally receiving the Emperor’s favor later and was given the royal title Qin Wang, named ‘Wei’, and becoming Wei Qin Wang or Wei Wang the secondary male lead of the story.

Wei Wang and Qin Wang were brought up by Empress Wei, who passed away several years ago. The two brothers had always been close and depended on each other up until when Bai Hua transmigrated here and caused a rift between them. In the end, Wei Wang was the one who gave up.

There were two or three times in the series where Bai Yu fooled the gentle Wei Wang and used him to harm the heroine. This time, however, she was not sure whether the events would go according to the series she starred in.

“Benwang will have to excuse himself, then.” He said with a slight smile as he extended his hand to touch Bai Yu’s arm. His two fingers pressed down on her pulse point, and her little heart started racing again. Ouyang Wenrou showed a smile, as if wanting to laugh, while also trying to maintain his manners when he saw that she turned her face away in an attempt to calm her rushing heartbeats.

“It seems that the poison is suppressing Miss Bai’s magic, preventing the body from using it to heal the wound.”

So that was it. Bai Hua was also inflicted with the same poison, yet her cuts healed faster, which meant that the poison only affected magic users!

“Oh dear!” Yue Mei exclaimed. In her thought, she blamed herself for giving the poison to her daughter without researching its effect enough.

“Then, Your Highness, what should we do?” Her father was equally anxious.

“You’ll need many medicinal herbs. A higher level of healing magic is also needed.”

“That means...” she softly said.

“There is only benwang who can treat Miss Bai’s injury.”

No!

“Wangye please have mercy.” Everyone in the mansion immediately kneeled to beg Wei Wang whose smile never faltered from start to finish. He casually waved his hand as he spoke.

“Although healing with magic consumes a lot of power, such a small wound wouldn’t be too tiring for benwang.”

“Wangye is the most gracious.”

“No need to be so humble, Miss Bai.”

Then I won’t be humble here...Can you stop smiling like that?!

——————–

“Haaah. Haaaaaaahhhh.”

“...”

“Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh”

“Is something wrong, miss?”

“Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh”

“Miss...”

“Can I scream?”

“No, miss. It’s not seemly.”

But I’m a villainess! I should be able to scream!

“Haaah.” In the end, she could only scream internally.

It was good news that there was nothing wrong with her body for not being able to use magic since the real cause was poison. It made her relieve that at least she could use magic in the Meihua lady competition. But the bad news was that she had to meet that smiling Ouyang Wenrou again for treatment. He was not the same man as the one in her past life.

But just seeing his face...made her feel that fatal pain again.

“In your eyes, do you think Wei Wang is close to me?” Bai Yu fished information out of her maid again.

“I can say that you’re familiar with each other, miss. Since you were young, every time you went to see Qin Wang you’d almost always meet Wei Wang. You once said that Wei Wang’s magic made him worth getting close to for future benefits.”

This Bai Yu did plan to use other people from the start, huh?

“Mmm”

“What’re you thinking, miss?”

“I’m just thinking if it’s almost due for Bai Hua’s return yet.”

“Why, miss? Should I send people to tell her to stay there longer?”

“It’s not that.”

“What is it, then, miss?”

“I’m thinking about going to pray at the temple too.”

“Huh?”

“Why? Is that weird?”

“Of course it’s weird, miss!” Xiao Xi blurted out loudly. Her expression further reflected how shocked she was. “...Normally, if it isn’t because Qin Wang, miss would never step into any temple. Or when you do, you’ll tell me to announce in the streets that you’re going to the temple or to hand out congee...”

So this puppy maid is saying that she only went to the temple to build her image...

“So this time does miss want me to go spread the news?!”

Bai Yu sighed. Shortly after she told Xiao Xi to notify Yue Mei, her mother came to see her at her residence.

“Visiting the temple is a good thing. This time I’ll order male servants to announce that we’re looking for bodyguards for your cavalcade, so the people can praise you indirectly.”

“There’s no need for that, mother.” Even her mother was also like this... “I just want to go quietly. Third sister went to the ancestral temple and there’s no news back yet, that must mean that she was living too comfortably.” Bai Yu ended her sentence with a grimace to insinuate that she was dissatisfied.

“I’ve already sent people to cause a ruckus. There’s no need for you to go there yourself, dear.” Yue Mei understood her daughter’s intention, though she did not want her darling daughter to be involved in unpleasant matters. In her eyes, Bai Yu could only be domineering to servants. Moreover, in the past seven days that Yue Mei sent her people to harass Bai Hua at the temple, all of them came back defeated. She was afraid that her daughter would not be able to go up against Bai Hua who had changed into another person, even though Bai Yu was successful at the banquet.

“Let me handle it myself, mother. If something happened to her and we are all here, people may gossip that our mansion sent a daughter out to suffer without a care. At least we can avoid getting criticized if I were there too.”

“Oh, my dear child...” Yue Mei patted her daughter’s hands. “...You being mature like this makes me a lot more relieved.”

“Mother please don’t be worried. Third sister has been a thorn in your side for so long. From now on I’ll be the one to deal with her.”
