77 Looming Danger

Xing who was staying in the Zhong Manor for the next few days, spent time eating and resting as much as she felt like a caged bird whose feathers are clipped.

But Lady Zhong spent time with her and gave her books she hadn't read before and Xing read those books to pass the time. Xing was a fast reader and she read many book in a day and most of these books with romance as the main theme had a very normal girl suddenly taken by the Emperor or a Lord to be their women and their life in the palaces and big Manors with many women around who try to bring them down but they survive by the love and caring of the man.

Xing could not relate herself to those women who depend on their men that much and the only thing she could relate was the erratic heart beats they get when the man comes closer and also the fact that all the women hate them.
