Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 337 - 336: The Suffering Second Female Lead

At the center of the Investigation Factory is Shen Chen, with four symbols under him: East’s Azure Dragon, South’s Vermilion Bird, West’s White Tiger, and North’s Xuanwu, representing the twenty-eight constellations of the four directions.

These individuals have honed their martial arts to perfection and execute their tasks following Shen Chen’s orders.

Eventually, the foundation of the Investigation Factory was firmly established in every corner of the Daqing Dynasty~

South is vermilion, paired with the bird, the seven constellations of the southern sky, the essence of fire.

A poem says: "The Vermilion Bird soaring through clouds stands out, the Azure Dragon rides the mist circling high beams."

In the south, the Vermilion Bird, one of the Four Ancient Divine Beasts, has eight-inch wings, resembling a brocade chicken like a phoenix, its entire body covered with five-colored feathers, enveloped in flames that never extinguish, in the Eight Trigrams it is represented by Li, mastering fire in the Five Elements.

Among the Four Symbols, the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu are exceptionally fierce divine beasts.

In the novel "Concubine’s Favor," the Vermilion Bird of the Investigation Factory is depicted as having a heart like a serpent and scorpion, relentless in her actions, a cold as frost woman, overseeing all southern branches of the Investigation Factory in the Daqing Dynasty, the only woman among the Four Symbols.

Given the situation at the time, sitting in that position shows the extent of her vicious means.

At the same time, she is also a bitter second female lead, loving Shen Chen but never attaining him, ultimately no match for the female lead, bearing a grudge against her, but due to the male lead’s ruthlessness, she never makes a move.

If something happens to Liu Qingxi, Shen Chen will certainly not let it go, by then, the Vermilion Bird fears she might not even have the qualification to stay by his side.

After Ye Zhi reminisces, she feels both joy and sorrow.

The joy is that the Vermilion Bird also hates Liu Qingxi, and the enemy of an enemy is a friend.

As the saying goes, when the snipe and the clam fight, it is the fisherman who benefits, and she is that fisherman.

The worry is that even before meeting Liu Qingxi, Ye Zhi has already formed grudges with people...

The Vermilion Bird described in the book is a cold and aloof, yet clever beauty.

Tsk tsk, but the one before her now...

Ye Zhi looked up, facing a young girl in light green clothing glaring angrily at her, the whip in her hand eager to move, her rash and impulsive nature laid bare.

She thought with her hand on her forehead: Is this really the Vermilion Bird? Did the author make a mistake?

Time passes silently, and time will explain everything.

Even Ling Que didn’t expect that, after many years, she would become a completely different person.

People must go through certain things to undergo transformation and achieve growth.

Lu He’s gentle steps brought her forward, her eyes shining as she circled Shen Chen in a small round: "Xiao Chen, it’s been many years, you’ve become even more handsome, training in martial arts has made your body noticeably more robust." Her voice was melodious and graceful, carrying the charm of a Jiangnan woman.

Ignorant disciples of Dragon Tiger Mountain, hearing the voice odd, secretly thought why do these two seem neither male nor female?

Shen Chen greeted warmly: "Sister Lu He, how have you been recently?"

Alright then, turns out she’s female, the truth is revealed.

Lu He reminisced about the past month of travel through winds and storms, immediately pouring out her hardships: "Not well at all, to meet within the month’s time, Ah Zhi and I have traveled endlessly, fearing to miss the schedule."

"I’m fine, but Ah Zhi has suffered, she’s grown up accustomed to luxury, missing out on towns at night meant she had to make do with me in the carriage overnight."

"There was a stretch longer with no towns, Ah Zhi endured three days on steamed buns with me."

"All along the way, she kept calling out to bring you home, not uttering a single complaint, Aunt Ye would be heartbroken to know."

Her storytelling skills were quite high, her tone rising and falling, describing it vividly and dramatically.
