Chapter 54 Princess Qiuchan's Hunger Strike
In that gorgeous mansion full of complicated emotions, the disastrous failure of the matchmaking competition was like a nightmare that loomed over Princess Qiuchan's heart. The betrayal of the captain of the guard was like a cold sword that pierced straight into her heart, and seeing her beloved Lei Wei being seriously injured, that scene was like the claws of the devil, constantly gnawing at her sanity in her mind.
Princess Qiuchan sat in the exquisite but cold room, her eyes empty and full of pain. She blamed herself over and over again in her heart, and her frown seemed to be able to squeeze out bitter tears.
At this moment, Er Niang's shrill voice blew in like a gust of evil wind, "Oh, isn't this our Princess Qiuchan? Look, a matchmaking competition has turned out to be so embarrassing, and it has also implicated others. It's really useless." Er Niang had a sour smile on her face, and her eyes were full of ridicule.
Princess Qiuchan's already irritable heart seemed to be ignited by fire. She stood up suddenly, her eyes wide open, "Don't make sarcastic remarks here! What do you know?"
Er Niang crossed her arms and said contemptuously, "I don't understand? I just find it ridiculous to see you complaining about yourself like a loser."
Princess Qiuchan couldn't bear it any longer. She grabbed the vase beside her and threw it at Er Niang, "Shut up!" Er Niang screamed and dodged. The two of them started fighting in the room.
The master happened to see this scene, and his face instantly became terribly gloomy. He roared, "Stop it! Qiu Chan, you are too outrageous!"
Princess Qiuchan's eyes turned red and she said stubbornly, "She provoked me first!"
The master was so angry that his beard was shaking. "No matter what, you shouldn't have done it. From now on, you will reflect on your behavior in your room. Without my permission, you are not allowed to step out of the door!"
Princess Qiuchan was under house arrest in her room, her heart was full of grievances and anger. As the days passed, her mood became more and more depressed, she did not even look at the food sent to her, and began a hunger strike.
The maids begged outside the room, "Princess, please eat a little. Your body won't be able to bear it if you continue like this."
Princess Qiuchan lay on the bed and said weakly, "I don't want to eat. I feel sad. I want to protest against my father's injustice."
In that exquisite room, the once lively Princess Qiuchan has now become pale and haggard. Her hunger strike is like a silent cry, echoing in this depressing mansion.
On the third day of Princess Qiuchan's hunger strike, the master finally came to her room.
The master looked at Qiu Chan, who was lying on the bed with a pale face and a weak breath, and the anger in his heart had long been replaced by heartache. He sighed, slowly sat down beside the bed, and said in a voice with a hint of helplessness and concern: "Chan'er, why are you doing this?"
Princess Qiuchan slightly opened her eyes, which were full of stubbornness. She said weakly, "Father, you put me under house arrest without knowing the truth. I feel resentful. Second Mother humiliated me like that, but you turned a blind eye."
The master frowned and said, "Er Niang's behavior is certainly wrong, but you shouldn't fight with her. This is not worthy of your status as a princess."
Princess Qiuchan struggled to sit up, and the master quickly reached out to help her up. Qiuchan said, "Father, the matchmaking event was ruined by a villain. I already blame myself, and Second Mother wants to add insult to injury. How can I tolerate this? But you only punish me."
The master was silent for a moment, his eyes softened, "Chan'er, I know you've been wronged. I'm also saddened by the betrayal of the guard captain and the serious injury of Lei Wei. But you're torturing yourself by going on a hunger strike like this. If anything happens to you, what will your father do?"
Princess Qiuchan's tears rolled down her cheeks, "Father, I just hope you can understand me more and not just see my faults."
The master patted Princess Qiuchan's hand gently and said, "Forget it, forget it. Father was not thoughtful enough this time. Eat your meal first and take care of yourself. We will talk about other things later." Princess Qiuchan looked at her father, and the stubbornness in her eyes finally faded away. She nodded gently. The master paced back and forth in the room, watching his daughter become more and more haggard. He knew that long-term hunger strike was not a good idea. This was a matter of life and death. The master had only this one precious daughter. If she had any accident, he would probably live in regret for the rest of his life. The master gritted his teeth and thought that he couldn't continue to be in a stalemate like this.
Therefore, the master secretly sent the most capable and clever servant in the mansion to find out the details of Lei Wei. After much inquiry, the servant finally brought back the news. It turned out that Lei Wei was disheartened by the marriage proposal in the arena, and resolutely went to Lingxian Mountain to practice.
After hearing the news, the master had something in mind. He came to his daughter's room, looked at the weak Qiu Chan, sighed, and personally released his daughter from house arrest. The master said guiltily: "Chan'er, it's your father's fault. Your father shouldn't have put you under house arrest without knowing the truth. This time, your father was wrong. I hope you can forgive your father."
Although Princess Qiuchan was weak, she felt a little relieved after hearing her father's apology. However, she was always thinking about Lei Wei. She hadn't heard from him for so long, and she always felt that there was some secret.

Princess Qiuchan dragged her body, which had not yet fully recovered, and walked towards the Lei family step by step with difficulty. Her heart was full of uneasiness, and the delicate embroidered shoes made a slight sound on the bluestone road, as if every step was stepping on her nervous heartstrings.
Finally they arrived at the Lei family's mansion. The vermilion door was tightly closed, as if rejecting everything from the outside world. Princess Qiuchan bit her lip slightly, raised her hand and gently knocked on the door.
After a long while, the door creaked open, and the Lei family master poked his head out. When he saw Princess Qiuchan, his expression instantly became a little complicated. Before the master could speak, Princess Qiuchan said eagerly: "I want to see Lei Wei's parents."
The old man hesitated for a moment, but still stepped aside to let Princess Qiuchan enter the yard. Princess Qiuchan walked into the yard and saw Lei Wei's mother sitting on a stone bench in the yard, as if she had expected it.
Lei's father raised his head first, and when he saw Princess Qiuchan, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes. Princess Qiuchan bowed slightly and said politely: "Uncle, aunt, I'm here to ask about Lei Wei's situation."
Lei's mother snorted, stood up, and said coldly: "How dare you ask about Wei'er's situation? If it weren't for you, how could our Wei'er become like this now?"
Princess Qiuchan's eyes suddenly turned red, and she said aggrievedly: "I didn't want to be in the ring to recruit a husband, and I am also a victim. I have always been concerned about Lei Wei. I haven't heard from him for so long, and I am really worried."
Lei's father frowned and said loudly, "Worried? Your worry is meaningless to our Wei'er. Ever since he failed in the matchmaking competition and was severely injured, he seemed to have lost his soul. Later, he ran to Lingxian Mountain without saying a word. He wanted to escape from all this, and the root of all this is you."
Princess Qiuchan's tears rolled down her cheeks. She choked and said, "I know Lei Wei was injured, but I didn't want this to happen. I just wanted to ask if he was safe in Lingxian Mountain. I really have no ill intentions."
Lei's mother didn't buy it. She pointed at Princess Qiuchan angrily and said, "Stop being hypocritical here. Our Wei'er is not worthy of a princess like you, so just let him go. You have messed up his life, and we don't want you to appear in his world again."
Princess Qiuchan shook her head repeatedly. She cried and said, "It's not like that. I really like Lei Wei and I want to be with him."
Lei's father waved his hand impatiently and said, "Go away. We don't want to see you again. We just hope that Wei'er can practice well in Lingxian Mountain and forget these painful things."
Princess Qiuchan wanted to say something, but Lei's parents had already turned and walked into the house, leaving Princess Qiuchan alone in the yard. Tears blurred her eyes, and her heart was full of pain and confusion.
