Feng Qingqian would rather die and have her corpse rot away than see it be taken by Ying Su.

  “You’re already dead. Why do you have to keep popping up? Can’t you rest in peace?” said Ying Su irritably. Such a person had suddenly appeared out of nowhere to interrupt the rhythm of her work.

  “Aren’t you also a wandering ghost? Why don’t you rest in peace?” asked Ning Shu rhetorically.

  Ning Shu didn’t continue bickering with Ying Su. She concentrated on chanting the incantation to eliminate the black gas in her body. At the same time, she had to build up her strength to take over the body and deal with the second prince.

  The second prince didn’t hold any good intentions. In these times, the most effective way to deal with a woman was to destroy her reputation.

  There was no need for men to take action. The woman’s family would do it for him. They would not tolerate a woman with a tarnished reputation.

  Damn, lowly bastard!

  Feng Chang, who had gone to see off the second prince, returned and said to Ying Su, “Go to the front hall. I have something to tell you.”


  “Not going.” Ying Su crossed her legs and sipped her tea idly.

  Feng Chang: …


  Feng Chang looked puzzled. Why did her attitude completely change after just a short while? Feng Chang said with a cold face, “You’ve sure grown guts. You actually dare to break off your engagement with the second prince? If His Majesty blames us, the Feng family will not be able to take it.”


  “Oh…” Ying Su said faintly, “What does that have to do with me?”


  “Where have all the rules you learned gone?” Feng Chang frowned. Even if he was a coarse person who didn’t care that much about manners, he still couldn’t stand the way that Ying Su was acting. “Is this how you talk to your father?”


  “Raising but not teaching. When I can barely get to eat, how can I be bothered to worry about learning manners?” said Ying Su sarcastically.

  “Despite being the fourth miss of the Feng family, I live in the courtyard like this, without a single servant around. On top of that, you sold me to the imperial family to seek glory and wealth for the Feng family. At the very least, you could feed me enough. You want the horse to run without eating grass? Where’s such a good thing in this world?” said Ying Su in an indifferent manner.

  As Ying Su talked with her father, she inwardly addressed Ning Shu, “You’re so dumb. Not only do you not know how to fight for yourself, but you even count money for the people who sold you.”


  Ning Shu just ignored her, though. She sped up the purification of her own soul. This kind of thing was like a ticking time bomb. However, the purification efforts bore little results.

  Ning Shu noticed that using this incantation was slow in transcending these grievances.

  There was no significant effect.

  Feng Chang was once again choking in anger due to Ying Su’s words. He glared at her with tiger-like eyes. “Where did you hear that nonsense?”


  “Heh. Do I not live in a broken courtyard? Did the Feng family not neglect me?” Ying Su retorted. “And now you want me to marry an indecisive scum of a man for the sake of the Feng family’s glory and fortune. Really, you can stoop to any level.”


  “Why are you spouting such nonsense? The Feng family’s glory and wealth were fought for by the Feng family on horseback. As for your marriage with the second prince, it was your mother who made the engagement with Noble Consort Du.” The blue veins on Feng Chang’s forehead were bulging conspicuously.

  “Heh, my mother is dead, yet you’re still blaming it on her. After all, the dead have no way to jump out to confront whatever you say.” Ying Su looked as if she had a grudge against the whole world.

  Feng Chang: …


  “Stay well at home and reflect on it.” Feng Chang turned around and left.

  Ying Su didn’t care. Anyway, she wasn’t going to let the Feng family succeed in using her for a political marriage. She was going to take control of her own life. She wasn’t that weak and timid Feng Qingqian.
