Guide to Failing as a Full-Level Green Tea-Chapter 2 - You Seem a Little Different

As she spoke, Shen Roujia coughed lightly, not looking away intentionally.

Xiao Fu glanced at Shen Roujia and began to cry, pouring out all her grievances.

“You should ask Mr. Gao. The woman distributing the charcoal said she was instructed not to give us our share.

“Not only that, but our Highness hasn’t had meat for months, and now there’s no charcoal. She has been frail since childhood; how can she endure such hardships?”

Shen Roujia couldn’t help but scold softly, “Xiao Fu! What’s the use of saying that? His Highness is busy with state affairs all day. We shouldn’t bother him with such trivial matters.”

The Crown Princess being mistreated could be blamed on unruly servants or even reported to the court.

Gao Huaichang was no fool. He knew that even if His Highness didn’t like the Crown Princess, her status was still significant. Any incident would cause trouble for the prince.

Shen Roujia was obviously aware of this.

He looked at Shen Roujia and said seriously, “Your Highness, rest assured. I will investigate this matter thoroughly and ensure you are treated fairly.”

Shen Roujia smiled gently and sighed lightly, “Then I’ll trouble you, Mr. Gao.”

Shen Roujia despised the mindless schemes in the plot.

But she wasn’t about to become a pushover either.

As expected, the senior adviser was precise in his work.

In just two hours, the entire courtyard had been purged, with several maids crying and unwilling to leave.

Xiao Fu, having just sent Gao Huaichang away, bumped into a palace maid carrying a box.

“What are you doing so recklessly?”

The maid with a sharp face turned pale, “N-nothing.”

Xiao Fu didn’t have time to bother and hurried off to count the people in the courtyard.

When she returned, Shen Roujia was comfortably yawning in the warm room.

Finally relaxing, Shen Roujia squinted her eyes and noticed Xiao Fu secretly watching her.

She chuckled, “Xiao Fu, do I have flowers on my face?”

Xiao Fu looked flustered, and Shen Roujia couldn’t help but pinch her cheek.

“What can’t you tell me?”

Xiao Fu blushed and stammered, “Your Highness, you seem different from before.”

Shen Roujia paused. Since arriving here, she had only thought about leaving, never considering the original character’s personality.

Shen Roujia looked at Xiao Fu sincerely, her gentle smile carrying a strange charm.

“Tell me, what’s different? I’m curious how you see me.”

Xiao Fu took a deep breath and spoke without reservation, “Although we grew up together, you were simple, quiet, and didn’t get along well with others...”

Xiao Fu seemed to recall something and added, “You only spoke more in front of adults.”

Shen Roujia frowned slightly, resting her chin in her hands, lost in thought. Was the original character that pitiful?

Seeing this, Xiao Fu quickly added, “This is just what I’ve noticed. I know you’re different from others; you have your own plans.”

Shen Roujia smiled, “I was just asking. Why are you so nervous?”

She sighed, “I’ve just understood some things recently. You should act the same as before.”

Xiao Fu nodded eagerly, “As you wish, Your Highness.”

Days passed, and as the story approached its climax, Shen Roujia smiled more frequently.

Soon, the capital received good news: War God Lord Xiao had reclaimed three cities and repelled the northern barbarians, once again reaching the peak of power and glory.

This legendary War God was the true male lead of the original story.

Shen Roujia wasn’t just excited; she was thrilled. She had perfectly controlled her emotions, eagerly waiting for death.

The return of the War God marked the beginning of all conflicts.

Though she didn’t know what triggered the plot, Shen Roujia believed that once the story started and the original character died as planned, she could return to her world.

But wasn’t the plot veering off track?

The War God returned, and there was a general amnesty. Why wasn’t there any commotion about her situation?

Could there be some ultimate condition to trigger the plot?

Shen Roujia hadn’t seriously considered this. Always confident, she began to doubt her judgment for the first time.

Determined to take a chance, she decided to die directly rather than wait and lose her chance to return.

But implementing this was fraught with difficulties, a series of embarrassing failures...

For example, trying to drown in the lake but hitting her head on the unthawed ice, causing her to pass out for half a day.

Then, using a flimsy piece of fabric to hang herself, only to fall and sprain her ankle.

Finally, getting a bottle of poison, but it turned out to be expired fake medicine, resulting in three days of diarrhea.

In the end, she only tortured herself, suffering without dying, a complete loss.

Shen Roujia looked at Xiao Fu, who was crying again, and felt another headache coming on.

“Your Highness, why can’t you think straight? Your status is no less than that of Lady Xiao.”

“We were fine before. Why have you been like this lately?”

Shen Roujia had no time to respond, feeling emotionally exhausted. What if she couldn’t return? Would her years of fighting for inheritance be in vain?

Shen Roujia wandered aimlessly outside.

To Xiao Fu, it seemed that her mistress was distraught by Lord Xiao’s return, appearing lost and haggard.

Rubbing her wrist, Shen Roujia pressed her lips together. Could it be that she had to endure the plot until the end if she couldn’t return by dying?

Shen Roujia’s mind raced. The ending... she couldn’t quite remember it?

Grinding her teeth, she thought it was only a few years of struggle. She had the patience to endure it.

Her adaptability far exceeded others. If she couldn’t escape now, she would stay until the story concluded.

The next morning, a terrified scream shattered the courtyard’s peace.

Before Shen Roujia could dress, Xiao Fu rushed in, “Your Highness, something terrible has happened.”

Shen Roujia frowned at Xiao Fu’s pale face, “What happened?”

Xiao Fu’s lips trembled, her eyes filled with fear, “Your Highness, the maid we sent away, Xiao Die, hanged herself in the front yard.”

Shen Roujia froze. Xiao Fu quickly added, “Don’t go out, Your Highness. Mr. Gao is handling it. Don’t scare yourself.”

Shen Roujia adjusted her collar and asked, “Why did Xiao Die come to our courtyard?”

Xiao Fu was about to answer but paused, her expression changing.

“Your Highness, on the day Mr. Gao came, I saw Xiao Die! She was hurriedly carrying something...”
