Chapter 105: The Twists and Turns

Chapter 105: The Twists and Turns

Smilingly, Lady Ruan extended her painted fingers, sipped her drink, and then quietly said, "You're right, you're a temptress whom Lang'ya Wang Qi, General Ran, as well as the Prince of Nan'yang had all sold their souls to." Whatever she may be thinking, she added with a disgusted smile: "It'd be a pity if you died."

She waved her right hand and ordered, "Take her away, remember to watch her. Keep an eye on her people, too."

"Aye."

Lady Li walked up behind Chen Rong, gave her a shove and yelled, "Go!"

Chen Rong turned around to glare at her. The murderous intent in her eyes caused Lady Li to retreat despite herself. Only then did she turn and walk outside.

As she crossed the door step, Chen Rong suddenly paused and asked, "When we were in Mo'yang, people of the Wang House had asked me what I was afraid of. Do you know what my answer was, aunt?"

Lady Ruan frowned and impatiently placed her teacup down. As she was about to order the maids to drag her away, Chen Rong audibly stated: "I said that what I fear most isn't death, but that I can't make my uncle Chen Yuan and his wife happy."

She gave Lady Li and Lady Ruan a smirk, turned and strode away.

Staring after Chen Rong's back, Lady Ruan slapped the table, her face red with anger. "Did she threaten me? How dare she threaten me?!"

Lady Ruan sat down again to sip her tea and sneered: "Did you use the Wang House in Lang'ya to scare me? Ah Rong of the Chen House, Wang Hong can't even guarantee his own life at this point. And even if he could, he wouldn't make you his honored concubine. You have no worth. Hmph, why don't you take a good look at your situation before you rely on a fleeting lover!"

Chen Rong entered the same cabin she had been to in her previous life.

When the door closed, the maid who stood beside Lady Li – the one with a pointy chin and a beauty mark by her mouth – shrilly laughed at her. "Ah Rong of the Chen House, I thought your dagger was fun to play with? Why aren't you playing with it today?" At this juncture, she turned to Lady Li with a look of flattery.

Lady Li haughtily raised her chin to stare at Chen Rong.

Chen Rong turned away, not bothering with them.

At this sight, the maid smiled and said, "Let's see how long you can turn your nose up at us!" At this time, Lady Li also shrilled, "Keep an eye on her at all times. Lock the door."

"Aye, aye."

After the door was locked, Chen Rong heard her shouting outside: "Keep a close watch on her."

"Aye."

Time gradually passed.

Chen Rong held her knees as she sat in bed, looking at the skylight on the ceiling.

She wasn't particularly smart, otherwise, she wouldn't have met her end in her last life.

She sat wracking her brain but was unable to find any way to escape. She could only pray that the invitation hadn't been sent by Lady Ruan and Lady Li. Otherwise, she was really done for.

Chen Rong buried her face between her knees and saw Wang Hong in her trance. The terrifying memories of last night played in her mind over and over again.

Darkness descended in the blink of an eye.

The cabin was already too dark for her to see her own fingers. If not for the voices and laughter outside, Chen Rong might have been driven mad from her own heartbeats.
