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 257: Tit for Tat

```

For a moment, Li Sangruo almost shed tears.

In truth, she didn't need anyone to tell her why Feng Shi Er Niang was here; the answer was already in her heart.

It was Pei Jue.

Pei Jue kept her by his side, never leaving her for a moment. He provided her with this peace and serenity, allowing her to sit in the side room, sipping tea leisurely, unafraid of storms.

Yet she was pitiable.

Without a husband's protection, with young children beneath her knees...

Seemingly of utmost nobility, her bearing austere, yet her spine was cold, all an act.

If they could, who wouldn't want to be like a little bird relying on and staying beside their loved one?

Li Sangruo stared blankly at Feng Yun, her gaze then drifting past the open doors of the main hall, trying to find that tall and straight figure...

Tang Shaogong glanced at her indifferently, then lowered his eyes.

"Your Highness, it's time. You should go in."
