90 Acceptance (2/2)
How did it change?
No matter what she thought, XuanRong could not answer her own questions. She sighed. It was already too late… She even planned to harass the official who would jokingly tell the emperor to pair her and Xu Fei Yi in order to avoid being betrothed to the idiot prince but now, it was too late.
XuanRong did not want to commit the same mistake and force her maternal grandfather to choose a side between her and the emperor. Because of it, the emperor's desire to suppress the Chen family increased, harming them in the process. Right now, she could only accept the decree since she was not yet done with her preparations. She had to make sure that before she was done with her plan, the emperor would not have any reason to sentence the Chen family to death. Besides, she had a hunch that Xu Fei Yi was her master's long-lost son. If her guess was correct and Xu Fei Yi was really the 'Fei Yi' her master was looking for, XuanRong knew that finding the male Gu would be easier.
'Well, I would rather marry someone who was simple minded and has a mind of a child than repeat the history and try to be with that bastard, Xu Ji An.'
XuanRong took a deep breath. It seems like she could only accept her marriage with Xu Fe Yi. Since she already vowed that she would take good care of her master's son and treat him like her own sibling, marrying Xu Fei Yi would be the best course. She could take good care of him and would not let other people bully him. She would love him unconditionally like what she did with XuanFei in her previous lifetime. Marrying Xu Fei Yi was not as bad as it seemed.
'Marriage ah…'
Suddenly, a sharp profile of a young man wearing a golden masked appeared on XuanRong's mind. XuanRong immediately shook her head a couple of times in order to erase that man's appearance.
'Wh-Why did I suddenly think of him?'
XuanRong felt a small pang of pain inside her heart when she remembered that it had been few days since the last time she saw her benefactor.
'What are you thinking? Why would he waste his precious time for a lowly woman like you?' XuanRong smiled deprecatingly.
She suddenly missed being inside her master's embrace and forget everything.
'Ah… Master… This disciple misses you..”

”HAHAHAHA!! This is truly wonderful!! Truly wonderful!!” Xiao Lou laughed happily as she clutched her stomach while wriggling in pain due to laughing nonstop.
”Mother… please, lower your voice..” XuanFei sighed and signaled one of the servants to guard the outside in order to make sure that no one was listening to their conversation.
”Fei'er ah… Mother was just happy. That bitch XuanRong stole your opportunity to shine during your birthday banquet and even seduced the crown prince. Now that the emperor already bestowed an imperial marriage between her and that stupid prince, she could no longer flirt with His Highness, Xu Ji An.. You don't have to worry that she will steal His Highness from you. The crown prince will marry you and make you the crown princess and once he ascends to the throne, you will become the mother of the country and the master of the harem. You will be the Empress of Qian Zou!”
”Mother.. how could you say those things…”
XuanFei blushed as she cupped her cheeks with both hands. She shyly lowered her head, not looking at Xiao Lou.
”What are you saying ah? Don't worry, mother already have a plan. But before that, we must punish that bitch first!”
