Grand Secretary Fang cleared his throat. “Well, I just think that if you want, there’s a shortcut you can take.”

“A shortcut?” Feng Wu glanced at Grand Secretary Fang in bewilderment.

Grand Secretary Fang nodded. “To be honest, although His Majesty is still in the prime of his life, His Royal Highness has become an indispensable figure. Just imagine what will happen once he takes the throne… That is to say, this empire will be under His Royal Highness’s control for a very long time.”

Feng Wu frowned a little.

Grand Secretary Fang said, “So, in layman terms, if you can become a friend of His Royal Highness, it’ll make your life much easier.”

The frown on Feng Wu’s face grew bigger.

Grand Secretary Fang said, “No one would dare touch your family, and you can stop worrying about the Zuo family. You don’t have to live such a hard life.”

Feng Wu smiled. “Grandpa Fang, are you saying that I should bat my eyelashes at him and show him a little leg?”

She shook her head. “I know that His Royal Highness finds me attractive, but all beauty shall fade. No one can guarantee that he’ll stay interested in me forever. I can only protect my family when I’m strong enough myself. Everyone and everything can change. At the end of the day, I can only count on myself.”

Feng Wu had considered turning to Jun Linyuan for help, but it was too risky.

The guy was too capricious. He did everything on a whim. He could dote on someone one moment, and yell at them for no reason the next.

She never knew what she did each time to set him off.

The idea of entrusting her and her family’s safety to the care of Jun Linyuan… Feng Wu shook her head. She could only trust herself to do that.

“And there’s more to it. The main reason the Zuo family set me up back then was because of my marriage contract with Jun Linyuan. I’ll only bring trouble on myself if I hang out with him,” Feng Wu explained.

Grand Secretary Fang darted a glance at Feng Wu. “You can be so silly sometimes.”
