Chapter 93: Promise to Self (1/2)
Chapter 93: Pro this entire tiether under her wide sleeves while her heart was sent on a tu ride
She didn’t knohat else to do
Was this the kind of ending she were to receive after two lifetile and strife?
But because she had lived twice, Chen Rong knew that if her father and brother had been reliable, she wouldn’t have ended up that way in her previous life
Whether in her last life or this life, whether she had come to a dead end or been pushed to a corner, she had never once thought of leaving her clan Firstly, she was no different from everyone else in that the notion of kinshi+p had been deeply rooted in her Secondly, without a clan’s protection in these troubled times, she would be robbed destitute or sold into slavery in a matter of seconds no matter how much wealth she possessed
On her trip south with the wang family, innumerable nobles had been killed or sent to ruination Even imperial consorts had been abducted by human traffickers, their safety unknown till this day
Thinking awhile, Chen Rong bitterly s it!
Chen Yuan chuckled to see Chen Rong in silence He stroked his beard and said, “Don’t be too happy Lang’ya wang Qi is a prized st the princesses Even if you became his honored concubine, you would still sit below his wife You’re too young to know that faot to “sole,” there was an extra e’s head re that she was feeling abashed He then nicely said, “Ah Rong, it had been the Nan’yang Prince’s aggression that forced ainst me because of that?”
Here, he leaned forward and attentively watched her
Chen Rong kept her head down A good while later, she weakly uttered between her teeth: “I dare not”
Chen Yuan did not detect anything unusual and thus kept on s On the other hand, Lady Li mistrustfully looked back to appraise the silent and dutiful Chen Rong
Chen Yuan raised his head and looked out at the sun He then waved at Chen Rong and said, “You may leave You’ll have preparations toslowly stood up at his words
She had barely gotten to her feet when footsteps sounded outside
Before long, an unsteady and wheezing voice called in, “Master, we’re back”
Hearing this voice, Chen Yuan rose and went out to meet the Yi?”
Chen Rong paused upon hearing wang Yi’s naiven Lady Ruan and Lady Li curtsies and was ready to leave
She wasn’t the only one; even Lady Ruan and Lady Li anxiously stood up They rushed from their seats to the steps
Down the steps were a dozen strapping servants Standing in front was one about thirty years old, with pale skin and delicate features One could tell he was an articulate speaker
Nevertheless, he had his head bowed at this ti rather hesitant
Anxious, Chen Yuan angrily yelled, “What happened? Tell : “I’m afraid to”
Chen Yuan’s heart sank He stared at the servant and warily asked, “Did wang Yi say so his head, he sighed in relief and impatiently said, “So what happened, anyway? Just tell ave hily speak: “We followed your instructions and brought gifts to the wang estate We went in fro to see Sir wang Yi”
At this juncture, he looked up at Chen Yuan before quietly continuing: “No sooner had the gatekeeper taken our card than wang Qilang’s carriage arrived When he saw us, he approached and made inquiry”
The servant’s voice softened to a stao back, with a e he said to tell you”
At this time, Chen Yuan’s heart had co and inwardly thought: Perhaps wang Hong has never liked this lass Ah Rong? What a useless piece of trash What is the point of those seductive looks when she cannot even snare awhen he saw Chen Yuan looking back
After Chen Yuan had callously glared at the dutiful-looking Chen Rong, he turned around and yelled, “And what did he say? What are you freezing there for? Why aren’t you telling e and repeatedly said “aye”
Once he had waited for Chen Yuan’s barking to stop, he sta a daughter’s hand in hter for an office? How can we allow this virtuous woman to suffer thus an insult, when she had lived and died for her friends?”

Chen Yuan was also at a loss for words
He stared at the servant,to blanch “W-what did you say?”
Seeing hi and dropped to his knees
In just seconds, Chen Yuan’s face turned even whiter
He was still staring at the servant,is gentle and refined He’d never injure others with harsh words like this…”
His voice failed to sound at this point
Chen Rong was also made speechless
However, she was relaxed and full of glee though she ordless When she saw Chen Yuan’s pretentious face growing increasingly paler with even shades of blue, she picked up her pace and swiftly disappeared froate, Chen Rong couldn’t help herself froh, she covered her mouth and, with her head lowered, hurried back ho entered her courtyard Stolen fro hastily went up to her when she saw her come in She suddenly stopped
All she saas Chen Rong flinging her sleeves in laughter
Her laugh was so loud, clear, free and pleasant!
The nurse hadn’t heard such laughter in a long time
She was surprised at first, then quickly followed suit in thecovered herfor a while She eventually clutched her sto quickly stepped over to caress her
