Chapter 248: Not an outsider!
" What do you want in exchange for keeping my identity a secret?" I asked the concubine straightforwardly.
…
" You want something out of me, don't you? You wouldn't have told me all that if you didn't want anything in exchange. What is it you want from me, Concubine Chu Hua?"
…
" You're right, Ying Yue! There is something I want from you". She said in admittance.
" What is it?"
" What I require is that you stop seeing me as an outsider. I require that you stop seeing me as a nuisance that you must get rid of". She stares into my eyes with a piercing gaze.
…
" A nuisance! When have I considered you as such?" I asked confusingly.
The concubine told Ying Yue how at each of their encounters, she would feel that the letter wanted to get rid of her although she meant no such thing. It was just the concubine's interpretation of Ying Yue's actions.
