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 314: Undercurrents Surge

"We're all friends here, no need for formalities."

Feng Yun's smile was sparse as she glanced at Kong Yun'e, noticing a slight blush on her cheeks, which told her all she needed to know.

In her absence, Jin Ge must have been taking good care of his childhood friend.

Jin Ge bowed respectfully.

"May I know why the Princess had summoned me here?"

Earlier that day, Feng Yun had sent Ge Guang to deliver congratulatory noodles to Ren Rude, without really saying anything special; however, by keeping Kong Yun'e behind after nightfall, Jin Ge understood.

Feng Yun preferred dealing with intelligent people, her gaze softening considerably.

"Please, take a seat."

Jin Ge complied, sitting not too far nor too close across from them, his hands resting on his knees, his back straight—clearly a trained individual.

Feng Yun smiled briefly.

"Is Mr. Ren's hometown Jinyang?"

Jin Ge replied, "Yes."

Feng Yun continued, "Then why didn't he go back home for the New Year's celebration?"
