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 223: Creeping in the Shadows_2

Jiang Da shook his head, "Don't let your thoughts run wild. Without the lady's word, who can confirm that you are the master's trueborn daughter? Even if you were to speak out, who would believe you?"

Daman bowed her head, her arms wrapped around herself, "Uncle Jiang is a kind man, Daman knows. But I truly can't give you the recipe of the Golden Boudoir Guest. Shi'er Niang would flay me..."

Jiang Da saw her stubbornness and his eyes grew fierce again.

"With such a stubborn nature, you're going to suffer greatly. You're not afraid of suffering, but don't you fear for your mother's pain? Her condition, her wishes, do you truly not care about them..."

Daman cried silently, her head lowered, wishing she could curl up and hide in her stray dog's den, where even living a life dependent on her mother would be better.

Jiang Da extended his hand again.

"Hand it over! Don't make me repeat myself."
