202 Lin Zhou: Han Xiang 2 (1/2)

'This debt... all of your family have to pay for it,' Xiao Fang thought to herself. This marriage alliance matter was a chance that she had been waiting for a long time. If only Xiao Fang was still the old Xiao Fang, she should have been jumping into the chance of saving her and her plan would go smoothly.

”Han Xiang... you are so innocent ah~ and so naive...” Xiao Fang said softly.

Han Xiang was taken aback by Xiao Fang's words. The dummy dared to say that she was innocent and naive?! ”What... what do you mean?” Han Xiang asked in confusion.

Han Yi almost laughed when she saw the bewildered look on Han Xiang's face. She really wanted to kowtow to Yao Ling for opening her young miss' mind. She became smarter than before in handling this annoying princess. She didn't know whether Xiao Fang had realized the truth, but at the very least... she started to guard herself up from Han Xiang's trick.

Han Yi felt curious whether her young miss realized that when Han Xiang just arrived... her usual unique smell wasn't there. It was said that her unique smell that attracted butterfly would never go away, but somehow it was gone back then. However, after taking a bath, the unique smell came out once again. She wondered if it was just her imagination or not, she needed to confirm it with Xiao Fang. After all, her young miss was still the one who knew Han Xiang best.

”You are too innocent, that's why you don't realize what will happen to my family if I really try to help you get out of this marriage alliance,” Xiao Fang sighed, pretending to wipe the corner of her eyes --- crying fake tears. She wanted to look like that she was sad because she was unable to help Han Xiang.

”What will happen to them?” Han Xiang pretended to be oblivious, even though she clearly understood. The man behind her had already told her everything, but she felt disappointed when Xiao Fang finally realized about this point too.

”My family will be implicated and for opposing the royal decree... we will be exterminated to nine generations. I... I really want to help you... I swear I do... but I can't abandon my family,” Xiao Fang looked down guiltily. She really wanted to see what Han Xiang would say about this.

Han Xiang was dumbfounded. Previously, Xiao Fang would never know about this logic. She always listened to her more rather than her own father. She didn't believe that it was her father or brother who woke her up and helped her get out from her clutch. ”Ah... that would happen? Then... then... I won't bother asking for your help. I don't want to implicate all of your family...”

Han Xiang was slightly paler and she looked like she felt guilty. ”I'm so sorry... I realize that I was being too selfish...” She cleverly apologized to Xiao Fang and admitted her mistake.

She bit her lower lips while letting a few tears falling down. Han Xiang sighed and said, ”It seems like I can only resign to my fate...” She weakly said. Her plan to evoke Xiao Fang's sympathy had failed, it seemed like she had to make a new plan. She never thought that she would fail, that's why she didn't bother to make a back-up plan.

Han Xiang cleverly didn't push Xiao Fang anymore or the latter would feel suspicious of her. They talked just like usual when Xiao Fang decided to ask her, ”What's your plan after this? I heard that the Emperor will arrange new bridal dowry for you.”
