Chapter 1825: Making the First Move
Since the second prince didn’t achieve his goal, he was in a bad mood.
The f*ck. He would rather face a woman who would jump to her feet and say she was going to break off her engagement with him. He could then righteously withdraw from the marriage. The other party would have to take a hit to her reputation for him.
Right now, though, he was at a disadvantage. The Feng family was controlling the scene. Replacing Feng Qingqian with Feng Feiyan was still a viable option though.
As the saying went, there was nothing higher than reason. Besides, the Feng family wasn’t a party that he could bully just because he was a prince.
The second prince turned his head to look at Ning Shu. He tried to rile her up. “Feng Qingqian, this prince already has a woman in his heart. I hope to withdraw from the marriage to be with the woman I really love.”
Ning Shu bowed expressionlessly. “Qingqian will remember.”
What beloved woman!? He obviously felt that she, as a concubine’s daughter, didn’t have a valuable enough status. There was a difference in status between a daughter of a concubine and the legal wife. She had no sway over the Feng family and had no weight in her words. In his moment of need, she could not make the Feng family take his side.
Wasn’t he simply interested in that position of supremacy?
When the second prince saw Ning Shu’s lack of reaction, he couldn’t help but fling his sleeves and leave helplessly.
“Your Highness, I’ll see you off.” Feng Chang glanced at Ning Shu, then walked the second prince out.
As soon as the two left, Ning Shu could no longer remain standing. She sprawled on a chair while covered in sweat. The moment she relaxed, Ying Su snatched the body back.
Ning Shu also didn’t argue with her and just looked at her soul which was tainted with black gas. This black gas was moving around in her soul, and it made her heart feel uncomfortable. These things could evoke negative emotions.
In fact, Ning Shu was now quite annoyed.
She chanted the transcendental incantation to eliminate the black gas from her body.
“Feng Qingqian, you are really…” Ying Su was so angry that she swept the tea set on the table to the floor. “You are really worthless beyond redemption. You still can’t bear to let go of such a man? Are you planning to rely on your own naive kindness to make the scum’s heart melt?”
Ying Su was disgusted with Ning Shu. “Why do you even bother trying to survive? You’re so weak that anyone could bully you.”
Ning Shu said coldly, “You’re the one who’s worthless, your entire family’s worthless. Just because I’m weak, I should give up my body? Just because I’m weak, I should die? Since I do not commit outrages like you with no sense of propriety, I should die? You know what, you are disgraceful and have a vicious heart. You are vengeful and small-minded. There you go, I said it. Now, why don’t you go die? People like you only bring harm to others and themselves. You go to hell.”
Sh*t. Why did she deserve to live and other people deserve to die, huh?
“Feng Qingqian, you dare to be mean to me? If you have the ability to yell so much, then what happened with the second prince? The moment you faced him, you shrunk like a turtle. He came to your doorstep to withdraw from marriage, yet you still have that respectful look. Disgusting,” said Ying Su coldly.
“I do not dare to yell at the second prince; what can you do about it? His father could put the Feng family in their graves.” Ning Shu choked with anger. Ying Su thought things would be fine if she just overbearingly broke off the engagement with the prince? Without the heroine halo, she’d be six feet under in the next scene.
This was the era where reputation mattered more than life. That was why there were so many women who had been killed or forced to commit suicide so as not to damage the reputations of the other women in the family.
“What’s the difference? They are all humans. My life is up to me.”
Ning Shu said slyly, “Yes, all are human. So, why must you make me give up my body and die?”
The double standard should not be too obvious. To her, as long as something was in her favor, it was right.
