The Slender Waist

The day the city fell, Feng Yun was treated by her father as a spoil of war and presented to the enemy general. Everyone pitied her, soon to be a captive, plunging into a fiery pit. Yet she veiled the little donkey cart that took her out of the city tightly, daring not to let anyone see the secret delight in her heart… As a child, she behaved oddly and spoke startling words, once predicting a war in which the whole army was wiped out, nearly being burned to death by her clan as a demon. When she grew up, her beauty was out of the world, but she was rejected by her husband's family. In the period of chaos and disorder everywhewe, where could a female captive go? "I do not seek a devoted partner to grow old with; I merely wish to rule unrivaled in this life." In her previous life, Feng Yun was always the one being scorned by others; in this life, she decided to strike first, turning the tables on each and every one of them, those so-called unreachable flowers and beasts in gentleman's clothing, those degenerates… all to be scorned in return.

Chapter 116 The Indispensable Scoundrel

The installation of the waterwheel was a complicated process.

The craftsmen compared the components against the blueprints that Feng Yun provided, fitting one piece into another, all bustling with activity.

Atop the hill, with smoke curling up from the kitchens, a beautiful lady in a flowing robe suddenly appeared amidst this idyllic pastoral scene, accompanied by two servants carrying cool tea drinks.

"You have all worked so hard."

As Lady Tu approached and caught sight of Feng Yun, her eyes lit up.

"This is... Feng Shi Er Niang, isn't it?"

Feng Yun smiled and gave a small bow, "I've seen Lady Tu."

"My, how handsome!" Lady Tu's eyes almost started sparkling, and once her gaze fell upon Feng Yun's face, it lingered there.
