Rebirth Of The Female Antagonist: - 156 No Time To Spare

Without any other choice, both XuanLi and Xiao Lou could only accept the punishment.

“Wife JieJie.. Yi’er wants to return… can we leave?”

XuanRong turned her head and stared at XuanLi and Xiao Lou. Although there was no tea ceremony nor family banquet, she had already done her part as the ‘daughter’ of this family. Staying here was never in her plan. She only retuned to create some ruckus. Who would have thought that it was XuanLi who gave her the chance to leave early?

“En.. Okay… Fei Yi… can you wait of Wife JieJie in the carriage?”

Xu Fei Yi obediently nodded.

“Okay! Do not let that evil woman and goat man bully Wife JieJie!!”

XuanRong smiled and nodded.

When Xu Fei Yi left, Xiao Lou screamed.

“You, ungrateful bitch!!!”

XuanRong’s eyes sharpened when she heard XuanLi’s words.

“Be careful of the words that you are saying, Er Niang. As His Highness, Xu Fei Yi’s wife, I am no longer the Di daughter of Xuan Family… I am now the only female master of QinWang Fu and has the highest rank among all the female nobles in Qian Zou with the exemption of the Empress. This ungrateful bitch is already part of the Imperial Family. Are you cursing the Imperial Family?”

Xiao Lou could not retort back. Even XuanLi went speechless when he heard XuanRong.

“T-this.. I..”

“Humpf! No matter how luxurious you dress up, it will not cover your lowly upbringing.”

Without looking back, XuanRong left the center hall.

After XuanRong and Xu Fei Yi returned, XuanRong immediately went back to her courtyard.

“YuYing, call YuShang and YuShen, tell them that tonight, we will act.”

YuYing nodded.

“This servant obeys.”

When YuYing left, XuanRong sat on the bed, thinking deeply. According to Shu Si[1], after Long Hao Chen showed himself during the Emperor’s banquet, he no longer went outside. Only the person named Chu Ji Qing would often leave the premises.

XuanRong’s own men had tired to spy against him but whenever they follow him, he would disappear midway. One could tell that he had a good foundation and had a higher level of qinggong. Thus, after two tries, XuanRong did not pursue him. She wanted to know the purpose of their travel in Qian Zou. In her previous life, no matter what she did, she was not able to find out any notable information regarding Jing country’s plan. In this lifetime, she had to make sure to learn the truth. XuanRong believed that it was related to her master’s death and the Gu art. Her master once told her to be wary of Jing country.

“XiaoJie… This servant has brought YuShen jiejie and YuShang.” YuYing spoke.

“Greetings, XiaoJie. This servant is here.”

XuanRong raised her head and saw YuShang and YuShen curtsied simultaneously.

“Mmm..” XuanRong waved her hand and stood up. Walking towards the table, XuanRong sat on the chair and stared at her three maidservants.

“I called you because I want to inform you that we will visit Long Hao Chen tonight. You have to prepare.”

Hearing XuanRong’s order, YuShen could not help but react.

“This… XiaoJie… Master An Wei is not here… This servant thinks that XiaoJie should postpone the plan and wait for Master An Wei’s return.”

XuanRong shook her head.

“An Wei will not arrive until the end of the month. It would be too late for it.”

“But… this servant fears that this servant will not be able to protect XiaoJie… This servant’s heart is not at ease…. Will XiaoJie reconsider?”

YuShen did not want to defy XuanRong’s order but she knew how talented Long Hao Chen’s shadow guards were. Based on Shu Si’s information, almost all of Long Hao Chen’s shadow guards were on par with her. Among XuanRong’s maidservants, YuYing was the weakest and YuShang was only on level lower than her. If they would try to sneak in and assassinate Long Hao Chen, the probability to succeed was lower than half.

It was basically a suicide!

How could she allow her XiaoJie to be in danger? Thus, even if she did not want to oppose XuanRong’s order, YuShen could only voice out her disapproval.

XuanRong knew what YuShen was thinking. Still, she had to move. Her time in dealing Long Hao Chen is running out. It was different with Baili Chen and the others where she could play with them, torture them before killing them.

Dealing with Long Hao Chen and the delegates of Jing Country should be swift and precise. She had already failed in her first attempt and waisted a huge amount of time due to her wedding. She no longer had any time left to spare.

Thus, without any other choice, YuShen and the rest could only obey XuanRong.

Night arrived.

XuanRong was planning to get dressed and leave when Xu Fei Yi’s voice echoed outside her room.

“Wife JieJie!! Yi’er wants to sleep now!!”

*baaam!!*

The door was opened and Xu Fei Yi entered the inner room. When he saw XuanRong standing on the bed, he hurriedly walked and lied down.

“Okay! Wife JieJie, come. Let’s sleep.”

XuanRong dumbly stared at Xu Fei Yi who was smiling at her.
