Chapter 1203 - The Engagement (1/2)

Lu Yeming smiled when he saw Tang Mo’er reject him with such decisiveness.

“Also, Yeming,” Tang Mo’er looked at Lu Yeming and asked, “Who are you bringing with you to Silver Mask King’s engagement banquet? Why don’t you take Qingqing with you?”

It was clear Tang Mo’er wanted to make him a pair with Jun Xiqing.

Lu Yeming didn’t have any expression on his face, he had one hand in his pocket and he answered, “I have something on tonight, so I’m not going either.”

…

At night, at the South Palace.

Two maids pushed Feng Lingxue into a room. “Go inside, Young Master is still waiting for you inside!”

The room door was slammed shut.

Feng Lingxue could barely stand up straight. She lifted her eyes, noticing Xuan Mu, who sat on the bed while giving her a cold-eyed stare.

After a period of extensive treatment, Xuan Mu had recovered his health but he was still impotent. He could no longer get laid, he was just like a eunuch. Though his body was fine, his heart was broken into pieces.

Xuan Mu glared at Feng Lingxue. The way he was staring at her was just like a vicious scorpion that was sinister, poisonous and very perverted.

He was just like the South Duchess, his hatred for Xuan Ying was all directed towards Feng Lingxue now.

There was no way they could do anything to Xuan Ying so they could only change their target and deal with her. They tormented her, humiliating her every single day.

That was Xuan Ying’s purpose behind sending her to the South Palace.

“Lingxue, change into this outfit, you don’t need to do any chores today.” Xuan Mu pointed at an outfit placed on the counter.

Feng Lingxue took a look at it. “Where are you taking me?”

“Where?” Xuan Mu laughed creepily. “Brother Ying is getting engaged with Shi Xiaoxiao today. Of course I must take you with me to their engagement banquet.”

Engagement banquet?

Oh, that’s right, he was getting engaged tonight. But why must she be there?

He had everything in life now. Status, power, wealth… Everything. She on the other hand was so pathetic, she didn’t want to appear as a laughing stock.

She was human too.

Her heart ached, it hurt so much she wanted to dig her heart out.

“No, I’m not going!” Feng Lingxue shook her head.

“You don’t want to go? Did I give you a choice? Even if you don’t want to, you must go tonight!”

“I’m not going!” Feng Lingxue turned around to run away.

But just after a few steps, when her hand was on the doorknob and just as she was about to get out, Xuan Mu charged over and grasped her slender arm forcibly.

Piak! Xuan Mu lifted his arm, giving her one tight slap.

The corner of Feng Lingxue’s mouth bled, her head started spinning after being hit. She staggered, falling onto the carpeted ground.
