Chapter 37: Human Nature is intrinsically evil!

Ive come to visit my sister. Why are you stopping me? Gaoyang showed no fear toward the two maids attempting to stop her. Due to her noble status and young age, she believed she had the right to interrupt.

The maids, hesitant to use force, could only try to physically obstruct Gaoyang.

Su Li interjected while attending to Princess Changle, Stop her!

Do you really think you can stop me? Gaoyangs arrogant voice echoed as she persisted, pushing her way in with almost half her body inside.

Su Li furrowed his brow, pausing for a moment to think before rising to his feet. Just as Gaoyangs entire body was about to enter the room, Su Li swiftly placed his hand on Gaoyangs forehead, making it impossible for her to move any further.

Both of you may leave, Su Li gestured towards the two maids, silently conveying that he didnt hold them responsible. The maids, unable to stop the determined young princess, exited without interference. They understood their insignificance as mere servants compared to Gaoyang, who held the title of princess.

Get out Su Li gently pushed, causing Gaoyang to stagger backward and ultimately plop onto the ground. Su Li furrowed his brow. He knew Gaoyang was a princess, so he deliberately restrained her strength. Although Su Li possessed unique abilities, he had long mastered the art of control. Accidentally pushing Gaoyang to the ground was impossible.

You How dare you push me? Gaoyang exclaimed, her voice brimming with anger. Just as Su Li had anticipated, Gaoyangs reaction matched his expectations.

Her parents frequently criticized her, while everyone lavished praise on Princess Changle. Unbeknownst to her, jealousy had taken root within her heart. It intensified even more when she discovered that her sister was engaged to Zhangsun Chong, the person Gaoyang secretly admired. Although Zhangsun Chong seemed pleasant enough and shared a familial bond with Changle, Gaoyang didnt perceive him as exceptionally remarkable. Yet, Zhangsun Chongs attention toward Changle captivated Gaoyangs envy.

Admittedly, Gaoyang didnt truly understand love at such a young age. Her feelings toward Zhangsun Chong were merely driven by sibling rivalry. In short, her jealousy toward Princess Changle grew more profound over time.

However, an unexpected turn of events later occurred. It truly was an accident. Who would have predicted that her sister would suffer from an asthma attack? Who was to blame for her sister dropping the medicine bottle on the ground once again? Gaoyang acted impulsively without considering the consequences. With a mere nudge of her foot, the bottle accidentally fell into the lake.

Subsequently, Gaoyang became consumed by fear, not because she believed she had harmed her sister but because she dreaded her sister waking up. She knew that her sister had witnessed the incident. However, her sister remained unconscious. Each time the imperial physician emerged with a concerned expression, Gaoyangs anxiety heightened. To her delight, she even discovered that her sisters joy over the incident had led to her impending marriage to a commonera peasant!

Gaoyangs happiness knew no bounds.

My dear sister, who had been so favored, was now going to marry a peasant and would never awaken again. Gaoyang desired to witness her sisters distress and relish the thought of her sister marrying a peasant. But what did it mean to be a peasant? Ugly? Coarse? Dark and short? However, a sense of guilt washed over Gaoyang as she had not received any news of her sisters awakening. Finally, summoning her courage, she entered her sisters residence.

She yearned to see the vulgar peasant her sister had married, an experience that would bring her immense happiness for a long time. However, Gaoyangs harsh words involuntarily ceased as she surveyed her surroundings. She couldnt help but acknowledge that Zhangsun Chong, whom she secretly admired, appeared quite handsome. Among the noble and prominent figures in the Great Tang Dynasty, Zhangsun Chong could be considered attractive and capable. Yet, compared to Su Li, the disparity was significant. Indeed, the difference was quite substantial.

Su Lis appearance was so remarkable that even Li Er, an old man with strong opinions, had to admit that she was not bad when belittling Su Li. It was natural for a woman who was inherently envious and jealous to move on when encountering a more attractive man. At that moment, a question arose in Gaoyangs mind: Why? Why was my sister, Princess Changle, so fortunate? How could she have such beautiful skin when marrying a peasant? Even though she lies in a deep slumber and will never awaken!
