Yu Fangzhu

"Fuck! She just had to die before I could even get the information from her!" Yu Fangzhu angrily slammed his hand on the hard desk in front of him, the scrolls rolled on the ground at the force he used to hit the desk.

His subordinates lowered their head since they were confused and curious about the identity of the woman he was talking about. They were curious but unable to ask because of the fear that Yu Fangzhu's anger will be directed to them

Yu Fangzhu, the Fourth Prince of the Zheng Empire was the best among all other princes. Not only does he have a brilliant mind, but he also has this aura that made people follow him willingly.

However, there was also something about him that makes their fear crawl into their bones that they couldn't even raise their heads when he's acting like this.

Yu Fangzhu's headache. The woman who caused him to get this angry was already thrown to the unmarked grave to feed the dogs. However, before he threw her away, he ordered his men to beat the corpse so she would feel the pain even after dying and once her soul was out of her body, she would see her body still being tortured.

After a few hours of beating, he finally told his men to throw it away. No need to bag it with a cloth, since she dared to not tell him where she put the box, Yu Fangzhu also dared to throw her corpse without a cover.

His method was disgustingly disturbing that no one will believe that the Fourth Prince that everyone admired and respected had such a repulsive personality. And if they knew, they would be too scared to even say his name.

He clenched his fist and his nose flared in anger. He was fuming but he didn't know what to do.

He looked down and saw the parchment paper on his table and grabbed a brush. He wrote a few words in it, roll it, and gave it to a servant near him, "Give this to my grandfather and tell him, I need a reply as soon as possible."

The servant bowed his head and left with the letter in hand.

With his eyes flashing a cold glint, Yu Fangzhu gritted his teeth.

…

At this moment, Bai Lu who was putting coal in the brazier heard her young miss muttering something while looking outside and said, "Did young miss say something?"

Xiaofei, who now became Lin Xiaofei shook her head and stood up before she said, "I need to go somewhere. Get me a dress to wear outside."

Bai Lu who went to her side looked stunned and asked, "Is Young Miss going out?"

"Yes."

"But the Old Master said that young miss cannot go out in this weather." Su Tang, who was also in the room, put down the towel she was using to wipe the table, asked.

Lin Xiaomeng strictly ordered them to not let Lin Xiaofei out until her condition has improved. They were also curious why Lin Xiaofei would suddenly go outside when she's never raised this notion after locking herself inside the Lin Family's residence.

This was also what everyone in the Lin family found extremely strange.

Three years ago, Lin Xiaofei who had just returned after praying in the Wu Long Temple suddenly didn't want to go out. Even when the general Lin tried to persuade her or force her to go out for the banquets or festivals, she complained and threatened to kill herself if she ever steps a foot outside of the gate of the residence.

But now, she wants to go out?

Lin Xiaofei blinked, "Then, tell grandfather I'll be going outside. I've been cooped inside this place for 3 years and a day of going outside wouldn't make a big difference for my health."

She stepped into the bedroom and stopped, "Wait- I'll go to him personally. Prepare some dress for me to wear."

Bai Lu and Su Tang looked at each other but they didn't disobey her orders. They were also happy to see that their young wanted to go out, so they hurriedly took out a vibrant pink hanfu (Chinese traditional dress) with a beautiful begonia flower stitched on it. The outer robe was slightly thin but gave an ethereal style that helped the flowers look lively.

Lin Xiaofei only glanced at it and said, "Not that. I want a plain dress with no design on it."

"But this dress is the Young Miss favorite dress among the newly arrived clothes sent from the main courtyard. The young lady even complained to the Old Master to buy this dress in Bai Chang Tailor Shop."

Hearing that, Lin Xiaofei paused before saying, "Now I don't like it."

If it was in her previous life, Lin Xaofei would be so happy to see such a beautiful dress. As a favored concubine in the Fourth prince's residence, Lin Xiaofei owned a couple of chests with dresses with different colors and designs as a gift from Yu Fangzhu. And each one of them was bought with a huge sum of money.

But comparing her clothes in her previous life and to this one in front, Lin Xiaofei felt like she was scammed by Yu Fangzhu.

However, that wasn't the reason why she didn't like it.

In her previous life, she loved to dress up beautifully in front of Yu Fangzhu. From what she wore outside and the inside, to the style of her hair and the jewelry she wears. Everything was done with meticulous care.

But now, she didn't have any reason to dress up grandly. She was no concubine of someone and she was not a true budding young lady that still bothered with how she looks.

She stayed in a dungeon for 7 months with little food to eat and only had dirty water to drink. Her limbs were cut off and her body was battered. So, can someone tell her why she should wear it beautifully?

Bai Lu nodded her head in agreement. Although, the dress was beautiful but her young miss' taste was too much. She liked vibrant colors and dressed in clothes that could give a person temporary blindness.

Her young miss was beautiful but because she had a crude manner and when she wears these clothes, she would only look comical to others and earn their disdain.

"Then, what dress does Young Miss want to wear?" Bai Lu asked with a smile on her face.

"Find a black dress for me then."
