Late night at Prince De's residence Laht guards, there were no other sounds At soossaround with ”sha sha” sounds, faintly shi+ures of the patrolling guards, obscured by curtains of rain, became even darker and even more indistinct
At this tihosted past each of the buildings along the road Her figure projected onto the ray-black shadow, in an instant dashi+ng past thetroops
Prowling the night aht rain, for the express purpose of s a pair mandarin ducks with a stick[1]
Before setting off Meng Fuyao had already gathered sorong not have had any concubines before? It was only that all the wo lived isolated inside the princely residence and so was not privy to inside infor outside residents ruood fa route around the Guo residence gates Now that Qiao Ling had been noticed by Guo Pingrong because of her pair of eyes that looked sirong would treat Qiao Ling well Fuyao had no choice but to brandish her stick!
Fuyao sprinted the whole hile wearing dark clothes and covering her face Because of her qinggong and faed to vault into Prince De's back courtyards
Lady Qiao Ling flew onto the treetop and becarant Lotus Pavilion to prepare for the wedding procession to a bride was too shocking, but right now just past hts were still unextinguished
With a lift of her feet, Fuyao brushed through the half-closed shutters like a cloud, lightly landing inside
The young girl sitting in front of the dressing table ju her head up Under the laht the fair hair on her te, who had already changed into a wife's wedding attire
Seeing Fuyao, she was shocked and was just about to yell out, before in a swift move Fuyao rushed over to cover her mouth In a low voice Fuyao said, ”Don't shout, I'm here to save you”
Qiao Ling widened her eyes in astonish to ”save her” despite her situation not needing any saving at all Suddenly she thought of a scary possibility, and her whole body started to tremble
”Hey hey, what are you scared of” Meng Fuyao grinned cheerfully ”I have no interest in stealing your first ti”
Fuyao patted Qiao Ling's shoulder ”Long things short, you should quickly leave with ”
Qiao Ling, however, suddenly pulled away Fuyao's hand Staring intently at Fuyao she asked, ”Why shouldn't I?”
”Ai … how should I explain?” Fuyao felt a little panicked ”That guy is not anything good”
”If youfollow a dog![2] Besides General Guo is a second-rank high official in the Empire, how could you slander 's y brows leapt up, as she becary all of a sudden
”Your dear husband?” Fuyao skeptically raised an eyebrow It couldn't be, she embraced her position this fast?
Meng Fuyao didn't knohether to laugh or cry as she looked at Qiao Ling ”Don't tellhi Guo Pingrong?”
”Why notthrew aside Fuyao's outstretched hand as she indignantly widened her eyes ”I'm just one of the lowliest coarse labor servants in Prince De's residence Starting from when I was sold into the household at five years old, every day I would rise early and sleep late busying myself with errands, and of the less than three silvers I earn everywork on an empty stomach, while my underclothes have so many stitches they can barelyfor Master to orderforfor the older ive me the eye when I meet them!” She thrust out her forearm to show Fuyao a bruise on her wrist ”Do you see this scar? From momo's pinches! Today I will finally leave this bitter life As the first woood fortune that I wouldn't be able to gather even with several lifetimes – I would be a lunatic if I didn't marry him!”
Meng Fuyao was silent, for the tiirl What Qiao Ling said was not wrong either For her type of lowlyopportunity to rise in status like a dragon or phoenix, what kind of excuse would ive it all up? But for Fuyao to just watch as the naïvely excited girl went to face an ill-intentioned Guo Pingrong as even rumored to be sadomasochistic, to face an uncertain fate that was solely caused by Fuyao herself - Meng Fuyao truly could not
After thinking for so out what she believed was an absolute tru is a … sexual sadist!”
”sadist?” Qiao Ling widened her eyes Only after thinking for a while did she realize the generalbashful, she de around in her waist strap and a rosy face, she quietly replied, ”My ht me this before, when a woman marries out she must follow her husband The affairs between aas us women act more submissive and mild, and tolerate for a time … it will pass just like that”
Meng Fuyao looked at the sky with a face full of despair How could she forget about the huge contrast in views between ancient and e and family!
”Ai, it doesn'ther words on this girl, ht as well just knock her unconscious and carry her away Even if she hatesaselse matters
Just as Fuyao was going to reach out to jab her pressure point, she instead heard Qiao Ling suddenly raise her head and say, ”You are little brother Meng fro's place, aren't you?”
”Huh?” Meng Fuyao inspected herself in shock, was her disguise this horrible?
”Even when I was little, I was good at discerning people's voices” Qiao Ling continued ”Your voice is now changed a little deeper on purpose, but I ahed, saying, ”Dear little brother Meng, I know that you … like me, but, we are not meant to be”
In that instant, Fuyao suddenly turned to stone Even her outstretched finger ai's pressure point had been petrified into a sculpture
What and what now … ?
”You often came to the little kitchen to make small talk with me, and even smiled attilted her head to look at Fuyao With her face filled with pity she quietly said, ”I also quite … like you If it wasn't for the honorable general choosing hts of you and , please, it would be best to let go of your feelings!”
