After being reborn, I stole the female lead's cheat ability and raised the empress.

Chapter 28 Female Lead

Wen Wan seemed to suddenly realize something: "You don't have someone you like, do you? That's why you're so eager to break off the engagement and demand your right to choose your own marriage partner." She feigned surprise, "Marriage is a major life event, and it should be decided by your parents. It should never be arranged privately..."

"Shut up!" Ali snapped at her before turning to Xia Deqing and saying, "I didn't care at first, but look at Gu Ba. He's been betrothed since childhood, yet he still falls for someone else. He's so useless. So I think I'd like to spend more time with my future husband. If I think he's suitable, I'll bring him back for you to see. What do you think?"

"You guarantee it?" Xia Deqing was somewhat suspicious; he always felt that his daughter must have someone she liked.

"Of course! How could we not let my parents approve, right? Their approval is essential for our children's marriage." Bullshit! Let's get the power first.

"Well... okay?" Xia Deqing tentatively asked, glancing at Cui Fangshu out of the corner of his eye.

This matter still needs to be decided by the lady.

However, Cui Fangshu was already angered by what Ali had just said, so she simply ignored it and said, "She just said that I never raised her properly before, and I won't care about her anymore."

“Your mother has a bad temper, but she still cares about you a lot.” Xia Deqing coughed and continued, “As long as the other person’s character and family background are acceptable, I won’t interfere.” Clearly, he also believed that Ali had someone he liked.

"Since the Ninth Prince is here, I would like to ask him to be my witness. I thank my father and mother for their kindness."

The Ninth Prince, who was suddenly called out, looked bewildered, but his good temper prevailed and he replied, "...Okay."

Only this girl would dare to be so impolite.

Ali couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. With the Ninth Prince as her witness, this important matter of marriage was finally firmly in her hands.

Phew! A huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

She doesn't want to spend all her time talking about engagements and annulments, which would interfere with her important work!

event……

Oh, right, the admissions for Saint John Academy!

Ali hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of food and then made an excuse to leave.

The Ninth Prince hurriedly chased after him: "Is there something you need?"

"Why did you follow me out? I'm going to the Imperial Academy."

"Going to the other side? Are you going to participate in the admissions for Saint Qiong Academy? It's okay, I'm going back anyway, I can give you a ride." He was quite curious about this woman.

She argued with her parents, broke off her engagement, and even fought for her right to choose her own marriage partner.

How can a person be so shameless!

Upon hearing this, Ali didn't stand on ceremony and got into his carriage.

She doesn't know the way.

There is a winding river in the capital, so the late emperor dug a moat to enclose the city. From a distance, it looks like the lines of a Bagua diagram. The late emperor then laid out the city in the form of a Taiji diagram, with the two trigram points located at the imperial palace and the residence of the imperial advisor, respectively.

When they hurriedly arrived at the admissions site, the main hall was already crowded with people, mostly young men and women in their teens and twenties, standing in twos and threes.

Dear female lead, I'm here!

Ali remembers that the female lead was wearing red and was standing in the back row.

Red is great, it's eye-catching, she saw it at a glance.

Ali rushed over.

As soon as she got close, she was dazzled by the numerous diamonds of all sizes adorning Xing Beiluo's clothes—understated yet luxurious. Converted to her past life, the conservative estimate would be around fourteen million. She didn't know if others could afford it, but she certainly wouldn't have been able to afford it in her past life.

Is this what the female protagonist in the novel wears every day? This poor man is moved to tears.

After the initial surprise, Ali excitedly ran over to greet the female lead: "Hello, Xing Beiluo! Wow, I've finally met you in person! It really feels like meeting a family member."

I felt like I was meeting an old friend in a foreign land!

Ah Li was about to hug him when Xing Beiluo immediately stepped back, looking at her warily: "Hey! Who are you? How do you know my name?"

"Emmmm, isn't it obvious? I just saw your carriage." Ali was clearly embarrassed and immediately made up a lie.

"Oh."

"I am Ali from the Xia family. It's nice to meet you." My mission is to assist you, and we'll be involved for a long time to come. Let me give you a hug.

Xing Beiluo stretched out a hand to block her, clearly uncomfortable: "Can you not be so familiar with me?"

"Oh? I thought you... Don't worry, I would never hurt you."

"Then why are you wearing a veil?"

Ali shrugged and whispered to her, "Isn't it because I'm hiding from someone? There's someone here who wants to kill me."

"..." Is this how you hide from people? You think you can hide by wearing a veil like this? Shouldn't you leave the scene immediately?

"You're crazy!" Xing Beiluo turned and went to the other side. It's best not to associate with people whose backgrounds she doesn't know. She already has enough trouble; she doesn't want any more troublemakers to come along.

Ali wanted to follow, but when she saw Ji Qingluan's gaze sweeping in their direction, she had no choice but to give up.

It's okay, there's no rush to get to know the female lead right away. Let's get acquainted first.

Next, the admissions ceremony began!
