Chapter 38 (1/2)

“Miss Ji really is such a filial child.” It was evident that Princess Yong An was even more satisfied with Ji Liruo by the look on her face when she turned to look at the young lady. Filial, kind, gentle. A girl like her was certainly a good match for Ning’er.

Seeing the satisfied look on Princess Yong An’s face, Mrs. Ji was secretly even happier. Her husband was certainly right. So long as she bragged about how filial Liruo was, this marriage would be even more secured than before. As long as Liruo eventually became the wife of the Young Marquis, she was bound to rise in status again. By that time, she would like to see if those little vixens still dare to seduce her husband or not. At that time, even if she were to scratch their faces so badly that they were disfigured, there wouldn’t be anyone to speak up for them at all.

With her head lowered all this time, Ji Liruo appeared to look shy. In truth, the look in her eyes was that of deep disgust and impatience. When her mother said such things, it wasn’t really because she really thought of Ji Liruo as a filial daughter. Her mother was simply following her father’s instructions, which was why she’d said such things.

It was really sad…

Growing up, she’d really worried a lot for her mother.

But in the end, she was still nothing compared to a single word from her father.

Ji Liruo really couldn’t stand the atmosphere in the room anymore and said softly, “Mother, Princess, I’d look to go out for a walk.”

“Go, go,” Princess Yong An said with a smile. She would get Ning’er to go take a walk in a while and the two could spend some time with each other in private.

Mrs. Ji also added a word of instruction. “Don’t go too far. Take someone with you.”

Ji Liruo nodded. After bowing respectfully to show obeisance, she brought a maid with her, turned around, and went out.

Ji Liruo walked down the corridor of Xuan Ling Nunnery and raised her head to look ahead.

Xuan Ling Nunnery had never been a place filled with dense incense smoke. It’d been this way since she was a child. This place was desolate. It was truly cold and deserted.
