She really hadn't expected that … he would give her to another man.
He wanted Xuan Mu to torture her and humiliate her.
Perhaps, he was afraid of dirtying his hands.
"Are you shocked? I think you and my brother are a perfect match. You're practically a match made in heaven. Didn't he want to marry you as his consort? I'll fulfill your wish now. As for me … "
Xuan Ying lifted his eyes to look at the door. An elegant figure walked in. It was Shi Xiaoxiao.
"Ying." Shi Xiaoxiao walked over to him.
Xuan Ying stretched out his strong arm to hold Shi Xiaoxiao's svelte waist, lowering his eyes to look at Feng Lingxue who was kneeling by his feet. "I'm getting engaged soon. Shi Xiaoxiao will be my Silver Mask Consort."
He was getting engaged?
He was getting married?
Oh.
That was good.
Feng Lingxue gripped the handmade wool carpet tightly, digging her nails into her palms.
Tonight, they were at the end of the road.
…
South Palace.
Xuan Mu was carried into a room and the doctors were rushing in and out. The entire South Palace was in chaos.
The South Duchess was crying her eyes out. "What happened to my son? Hurry up and save him. He hasn't gotten married yet, we can't let him become a cripple. "
The doctor wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. "South Duchess, Young Master was kicked … there, there's an explosion. I'm afraid Young Master won't be able to … have sex in the future, and he won't be able to … have children …"
What?
Did the doctor mean that Xuan Mu had become a eunuch?
How could this be?
How could this be?
The South Duchess turned her head, looking at Feng Lingxue. She quickly rushed over, raising her hand to slap Feng Lingxue.
Slap! Feng Lingxue's face was slapped.
"You little slut, it's all because of you. Even if I can't cure Xuan Ying, I can still beat you to death."
The South Duchess revealed a vicious expression. She took a small bamboo whip from a maid's hand and whipped Feng Lingxue with all her might.
The thin willow whip lashed on Feng Lingxue's delicate skin, giving off a crisp sound. Her dress was torn apart and there were streaks of lacerations underneath. Her skin was lacerated.
The South Duchess loved to torture and beat those beautiful concubines and maids. Now, she was venting all her anger on Feng Lingxue, wanting nothing more than to beat Feng Lingxue to death.
The maid at the side lifted her head to take a peek. It was already the middle of winter and Feng Lingxue was only wearing a thin dress when she was caught. She stood in the cold wind as the South Duchess slapped her until her shoulders shrunk. In this chaotic world, she was a lonely woman without any skills to defend herself. She was weak and helpless. She didn't dodge, she just stood there and let the South Duchess hit her.
Tonight was a battle for power, and she was just a sacrifice.
She took all the blame.
She and Mu Mu were like a grain of sand in the ocean, swept away. Their fates were beyond their control.
"That's enough!" The South Duchess bellowed.
Only then did the South Duchess stop. She had hit Feng Lingxue more than ten times and her hands were sore. "Little slut, I'll continue to hit you tomorrow. Don't blame me, blame Xuan Ying. Xuan Ying is so cruel to you, he actually sent you here for me to hit!"
Xuan Ying …
Feng Lingxue listened to this name numbly. She stretched out her trembling hand and placed it on her heart.
She dug it with her fingers, trying to dig her heart out.
It wouldn't hurt anymore.
She would be free.
Her body was burning with pain. Her legs gave way and she fell onto the cold ground like a broken doll.
The South Duchess's expression was ugly. He looked at Feng Lingxue in disgust. He should have gotten rid of her three years ago.
Now that Xuan Ying had taken away Xuan Mu's military seal, even he was trapped in the South Palace. All his efforts had gone to waste.
…
Feng Lingxue was thrown into a woodshed. The servant outside shouted, "The South Duchess has ordered that she is not allowed to eat anything. She is to work from tomorrow onwards. She is not allowed to rest or even drink water!"
"Yes."
The door to the woodshed was locked.
Feng Lingxue curled up in a corner. It was so dark and cold here. Her entire body was in so much pain that she could no longer feel anything.
Her stiff and trembling hand slowly reached into her apron pocket and took out the recording pen.
Her blood-stained hands gripped the recording pen tightly. She was thinking, he doesn't need it anymore.
She had thought that she could help him, but now it seemed like a pitiful joke.
This was the only thing she had that she could give him.
In the darkness, Feng Lingxue's lips curved into a smile. As she smiled, large droplets of tears flowed down her cheeks.
Living … was so hard.
She hugged herself, her teeth biting down on the tip of her tongue. She bit down hard …
She bit the tip of her tongue and tasted the sweet taste of blood.
She didn't feel any pain at all.
Instead, she felt like she was free …
But in the next second, she let go of her tongue. It was as though a pail of cold water had been poured over her, waking her up instantly. What was she doing?
If she died, what would happen to Mu Mu?
Mu Mu.
Her Mu Mu.
She hadn't found Mu Mu yet. She couldn't die.
North Duke had been sent to the hospital after he fainted. She had to think of a way to get out of here and find him.
Yes, she couldn't die.
She couldn't die.
Feng Lingxue leaned her head against the cold wall. She suddenly understood that it wasn't just living that was hard. It was just that she couldn't die even if she wanted to.
Her life was so hopeless.
A useless woman like her shouldn't be living in this world. It was better for her to die.
But she couldn't die.
…
One week later.
Feng Lingxue was dressed in tattered clothes. She held a large bucket of water in her hands and was working.
She couldn't stop. The South Duchess had sent a servant to monitor her. If she slowed down, she would be beaten.
At this moment, there were a few maids chatting in front.
— -Have you heard? The Snow Mountain Residence will be holding a grand engagement party in three days' time. Silver Mask King and General Shi's daughter, Shi Xiaoxiao will be officially engaged.
— -Oh my god, I'm so envious of Miss Shi. Do you know that Silver Mask King is very powerful now? His Snow Mountain Residence is even livelier and more expensive than the South Palace. Now that he's going to marry Shi Xiaoxiao, he's in the limelight. This engagement party is even more popular than the wedding between the West Duke and the East Duke's daughter.
— -Silver Mask King really admires him.
— -Don't be so infatuated. There are so many high ranking officials who want to send their daughters to the Snow Mountain Residence to be a consort, but they don't even have the chance …
Hearing the discussions, Feng Lingxue slowly lowered her lashes. She didn't stop walking, instead, she poured a bucket of water into the water tank, the cold water drenching her tattered dress.
It was bone-chilling.
Winter is coming soon, right?
