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 149: Adhering to One's Duty_2

```

If only I could start over?

Xiao Cheng's eyebrows slightly furrowed, as he looked down at the young woman kneeling on his knees, feeling a choking pain in his chest.

He thought of Feng Yun.

He thought of that address, "Xiao San, brother."

She said, "Right now, all I ask for is peace, your majesty's protection, and a chance for me and my child to live."

He said, "If you keep to your place, I will not mistreat you."

What does it mean to not mistreat someone?

Feng Ying, hearing him mutter, started to cry even more.

When even consummating the marriage is a luxury, what more could she hope for?

Feng Ying cried, "When will my lord be willing to let his concubine serve in your chamber?"

Her question was straightforward, her face flushed, "I only wish to bear a son for my lord as soon as possible, to spread the branches and scatter the leaves... I ask for nothing more in this life."

Xiao Cheng's brow twitched.

He thought of Yuchu.
