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 259: At All Costs

Pei Jue hesitated for a moment, "Let's go."

Feng Yun promptly pulled down the carriage curtain, shielding the probing gazes from outside.

Get going! The carriage slowly moved away, laughter echoing from within.

The envoy from Qi Country and his entourage were ready to depart.

Hearing the sound and turning back, Feng Jingteng sighed faintly.

"Pei Jue truly values Shi'er Niang. Had we known this, we shouldn't have sent her away..."

Feng Jingyao withdrew his gaze and snorted coldly, "Utterly foolish. If you hadn't sent her to Pei Jue, how would he have come to value her?"

In fact, Feng Jingteng meant to say something else.

He pondered, choosing his words carefully.

"Shi'er Niang's beauty is exceptional, and even staying in Tai City would have benefitted the Feng Family."

Feng Jingyao's face darkened as he looked at him, "If not her, would you rather send Aying away?"

Feng Jingteng was rendered speechless by his elder brother, murmuring, "Brother misunderstands my intention."
