Hua Ruoyu saw that Shen Lingjue's every move was very intimate, it was as if a knife had cut into the flesh of her heart, it hurt so much that it seeped into her bone marrow.
Being of the same bloodline in the Feng Family, Feng Ningyan, who was born to the eldest son, Feng Wei, was the direct descendant of the eldest miss.
Although Hua Ruoyu's birth mother, Feng Qingluan, was Feng Wei's direct sister, she had married into his family. Ever since the death of the Phoenix Blue Luan couple, Hua Ruoyu had returned to the Feng Residence and became a foster uncle's family, an orphan girl with no power or influence!
At this moment, Hua Ruoyu was jealous of Feng Ningyan, jealous to the point that he wanted to use the most vicious method to kill her! And then crush her bones!
She left the main hall and ran into the back garden, where she sat in a corner and cried silently.
She did not dare to cry out because she was afraid that others would hear the joke.
Never in his life had he shed so many tears. His handkerchief was soaked to the skin, and he was able to tear it up.
At this moment, a pair of fair and white hands handed over a light gold embroidered handkerchief to her.
She jumped in shock and stood up, panicking as she met Shen Youhuang's gentle gaze.
"Miss Ruo Yu, why are you so sad?"
Hua Ruoyu hesitated and accepted the embroidered handkerchief that carried his body's temperature. She was startled for a moment, but suddenly found it difficult to suppress her sorrow, and cried in Shen Youhuang's arms.
"Your Highness, King Cheng... Ruo Yu was sad because she saw his cousin had a father to protect her, and the marriage was decided by his father. In one month's time, I will enter the palace for an elective show. My aptitude is mediocre, so I am sure it will be the fate of the White-headed Palace maid and the Soul Split Palace.
Shen Youhuang lightly patted her back. "Silly girl, you really make this duke's heart ache."
Hearing that, Hua Ruoyu was ecstatic. She raised her head, with her watery eyes, there was happiness in them.
"Your Highness …"
Shen Youhuang smiled warmly and wiped away her tears. "Don't you know that I like you?"
As he said that, he lightly lifted Hua Ruoyu's chin and kissed her lips …
In the Frigid Smoke Garden, Feng Ningyan ate breakfast as if she was chewing on wax.
Upon thinking of how she was going to enter the capital and marry someone surnamed Shen, she had no idea where she was going.
Annoyed, she picked up her sword and went out into the courtyard. She danced for more than two hours until the leaves covered the entire garden. Only then was she able to vent out the frustration in her heart.
With that, she drew her sword and stood by the side of the pool, looking at her youthful appearance.
After standing there blankly for a long time, a ripple from the fallen leaves had shattered her reflection and pulled her thoughts back from her previous life.
"I can't allow myself, the Feng Family and Ning Nanjun to become sacrifices again, for the sake of a political marriage and for the sake of an imperial power struggle … I must destroy the marriage! "
Just then, Lan Zhu and Lv Ruo ran in happily from outside the courtyard, happily talking about the good news they had heard.
"According to the people who came back from the capital, the Prince Yu's Mansion has gone overboard with decorations and prepared 10 li of red makeup, preparing to personally bring young miss to the capital!"
Lv Ruo hurriedly handed over a book of words. "The beautiful words of 'King Yu captures thieves and saves beauties, and the silver hairpin orders the Lovers Alliance' were all written in books and poems. The women of the world can't help but be jealous."
Feng Ningyan looked at it for a bit, then said coldly: "This young miss is unhindered in the battlefield, do I need his help?!"
She was secretly furious. These storytellers that only wished to stir up chaos had turned Shen Lingjue into a Erlang Shen with the Heaven's Eyes. Little did she know that he was a scoundrel, the silver hairpin was stolen by him!
She was about to throw the book away when she heard a burst of laughter coming from outside the garden.
The Auntie Du walked over with a gentle and kind smile like a mother. She held Feng Ningyan's hand, Hua Ruoyu who was following behind her like a weak willow tree that helped the wind.
"This silly girl …" "Ever since ancient times, when a husband acted like a wife, when a woman showed weakness in front of her husband, it was a virtuous, respectful, and docile act. Only then would it be painful to others …"
When Feng Ningyan saw Auntie Du and Hua Ruoyu's smiles, she felt a chill down her spine and quietly withdrew her hands.
"Why is Aunt so free to come to the Frigid Mist Pavilion when she's only working on her dowry?"
The Auntie Du laughed: "The Great General said that for your marriage, today, our whole family will go to Holy Light Temple's Hot Springs Courtyard to bathe and eat and pray for blessings, quickly pack up."
Feng Ningyan was a little surprised, her father never believed in Buddha, and never ate farewells, why did she suddenly go to eat and pray?
