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 244: How Unbearable to Be Exposed

"Why is the General here?"

Li Sangruo's heart thumped erratically, and she instinctively asked in reply.

Pei Jue had only left the seat a step ahead of her.

It was not strange that he found Feng Yun first; what was strange was, where did Wei Zheng go?

Clad in a cyan-grey cloak, Pei Jue stood amid the hazy light of the night lantern, his expression stern and cold. His dark eyes barely glancing over, they seemed to hide a thick murderous intent.

"My wife cannot hold her liquor well and entered the wrong room. I just found her."

He wrapped Feng Yun entirely in his cloak.

"Your Highness, why are you here? Why did you barge through the door?"

Li Sangruo's lips trembled as she hesitated, "Hearing that the General's wife was missing, I was anxious and came out to help look..."

Her heart was in torment; she didn't know how her voice managed to escape her lips.

"Is the lady alright?"
