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 234: Inviting Catastrophe

Being summoned by Li Sangruo was naturally not going to be a pleasant affair.

Yet when Feng Yun learned of her impending visit to Xinzhou, she had already prepared for their meeting. If not today, it was bound to happen sooner or later.

She wasn't taken aback, but curious.

"How did the County Lord manage to refuse on my behalf?"

Li Sangruo was not someone who could be easily "gently declined."

With a languid air, Puyang Yi replied, "I mentioned that as someone of the Empress Dowager's stature, arriving in Xinzhou and summoning court officials the following day, it would inevitably lead to gossip if she rushingly called upon the General's wife. The Empress Dowager is quite concerned with her image, after all."

Concerned with her image? More like shameless.

Feng Yun replied with a smile that was not quite a smile, "So, is the County Lord here to probe my intentions on behalf of the Empress Dowager?"

Puyang Yi pondered for a moment and then nodded.
