Not long after Feng Chang left, manservants and maids carried things over to her courtyard. It included some brand new furniture and dressing tables, as well as a few trays with some jewelry and hairpins.

  The wet nurse that served Madam Feng bowed towards Ying Su. “This is from Madam to Miss.”


  “Thanks, then,” said Ying Su insincerely.

  Oh, all these new things were for Feng Chang to see. The madam wanted to use her marriage to exchange for the Feng family’s wealth and prosperity. Ying Su wanted to gain power for the sake of protecting the people she wanted to protect. If she had to sacrifice in order to maintain wealth and glory, she would rather not have it at all.

  Power was for protection, not sacrifice.

  That woman wanted her to sacrifice herself with just a few gifts as bribes, huh? Humph…


  No matter what the Feng family did, Ying Su was full of sarcasm and malice.

  The wet nurse’s face had become unpleasant when Ying Su told her to put the things down. Ying Su said indifferently, “I’ve gotten used to using worn-out things over the years. I won’t feel comfortable using such good things. Send them back.”


  Ning Shu: …


  “Hey, what is wrong with you? You keep saying you want to fight for what you deserve. Now that it has been sent over, you want to refuse?” Ning Shu couldn’t help but say. She was really pretentious.

  Ying Su’s expression was cold. She had no interest in the Feng family’s things. Weren’t they obviously trying to use these things to get her to stay with that cheating, indecisive man for the rest of her life?

  The Feng family was looking down on her way too much. In modern times, what jewelry had she not seen? As the king of killers, would she lack money? Ying Su had never valued money or such materialistic things.

  Even if she had come to the ancient era, she could still make money.

  When the wet nurse saw that a concubine’s daughter was refusing the things sent by the legal wife with such an attitude, her angry face turned blue. However, the other party was higher in status than her, so she could not say anything. With a stiff expression, she said, “Fourth Miss, this is General and Madam’s gift.”


  “Oh, since it’s from them, I have to accept it, right? Then fine, I’ll accept it,” said Ying Su indifferently. “Put the stuff down. You can go.”


  The servants and maids placed the things down. Their faces were a bit unsightly, though. After they had worked so hard to carry these over, they didn’t even get any reward money.

  The wet nurse took everyone and left. Judging from the wet nurse’s expression, when she got back, she’d probably be complaining to Madam Feng.

  Ning Shu was speechless. The king of killers was so cool. She simply didn’t have to pay attention to the mundane world. She had no need to consider other things.

  If you weren’t convinced, she would continue until you changed your mind. And then, if you still stayed adamant in your beliefs, you would be killed…


  “Pei Lan, collect these things then take them to the store to be sold.” Ying Su grabbed a handful of jewelry from the makeup box.

  “Miss, this is a gift from Madam. Is it really okay to sell it?” asked Pei Lan.

  Ying Su said, “We need the money to strengthen ourselves. Since the things have been gifted to us, they are left to our discretion.”


  “Yes…” Pei Lan started to pack up the jewelry and jewels.

  Ning Shu spoke up at this moment, “Who are you to sell all these things?” These things fundamentally still belonged to the Feng family. The fact that they had sent over only meant that she had the right to use these things.

  After all, these things were registered.

  “Haha. Since they sent them over to me, why can’t I use it?” said Ying Su indifferently.

  Ning Shu: …
