Chapter 1196: The Engagement

She had never expected that… he would give her away to another man . He wanted Xuan Mu to torture and ridicule her .

Maybe he was afraid of dirtying his own hands .

“Are you surprised? I think you and my brother suit each other . The two of you are a match made in heaven . Didn’t he want to make you his concubine? I’m just helping the two of you out . ”

Xuan Ying raised his eyes to look at the door as a beautiful figure walked in . It was Shi Xiaoxiao .

“Ying,” Shi Xiaoxiao said as she walked over to Xuan Ying .

Xuan Ying reached out to hold her slim waist and looked down at Feng Lingxue who was kneeling beside his legs . “We’re going to be engaged soon, and you, Shi Xiaoxiao, will be the Silver Mask King’s consort . ”

He was getting engaged?

He was getting married?

Oh . How great .

Feng Lingxue clutched the cashmere carpet at her feet, digging her fingernails into her own hand . The two of them had reached a dead end today .

…

South Palace .

Xuan Mu was brought into the room and the doctor ran in and out of his room busily .

The South Palace was in an uproar .

Seeing her son in such a state, the South Duchess was inconsolable . “What happened to my son? Please save him . He hasn’t even married yet, so he can’t be infertile . ”

The doctors were all in cold sweat . “South Duchess, the South Duke was kicked by someone… down there . It has burst apart . I’m sorry to inform you that… I’m afraid the South Duke will no longer be able to… carry out bedroom affairs, maybe not even… have a child…”

What? So what the doctor meant was… Xuan Mu was now a eunuch?

How did this happen?

How did things turn out like this?

The South Duchess turned to look at Feng Lingxue . She ran over and slapped her . The slap rang out loud and clear . Feng Lingxue had been hit across her whole face .

“You little b*tch, it’s all because of you that I can’t treat Xuan Mu . Do you want me to beat you to death?”

The South Duchess expression was sinister . She took a cane from a maid and started beating Feng Lingxue with it .

The thin poplar cane struck Feng Lingxue’s skin with a piercing sound . Her clothes were torn apart as red welts started appearing on her skin . She was being hit so hard her skin was splitting .

The South Duchess already had a habit of caning the pretty concubines and maids . Now she was taking all her anger towards Xuan Ying out on her . She would love nothing more than to cane her to death!

One of the maids at the side raised her head to take a peek . It was already late winter now, but Feng Lingxue had been dressed only in a thin dress when she was brought over . She stood in the cold weather being caned by the South Duchess . In this cruel world, she was originally alone and had no means of defense . She was weak and helpless, and now she didn’t hide, she only stood there taking all of the South Duchess’s blows .

Tonight was a battle of rights, and she was just a sacrifice . She had shouldered all her punishment .

Mu Mu and her were just like grains of sand in the great sea . Their lives were tiny and irrelevant .

“That’s enough!” At this moment, the South Duke shouted out loud .

The South Duchess finally stopped . She had caned Feng Lingxue over 10 times and her hand was aching . “Little b*tch, don’t hate me . If you want to hate someone, hate Xuan Ying . He must really hate you to have delivered you to my doorstep for a beating!”

Xuan Ying…

Feng Lingxue processed this name numbly . She placed her hands shakily on her heart . She dug in hard with her fingers, as though she wanted to dig her own heart out .

Then it wouldn’t hurt so much anymore .

She would be free .

Her entire body was burning in pain . Her legs gave way and she collapsed onto the cold ground like a broken doll .

The South Duke’s face was ashen . He stared at Feng Lingxue in hatred . He should have gotten rid of her three years ago .

Now Xuan Ying had made away with Xuan Mu’s tally stick and trapped him in the South Palace . All his efforts had come to naught .

…

Feng Lingxue was thrown into a woodshed . Mo Mo said loudly from the outside, “The South Duchess has ordered that no one is to bring food to her . She will start working tomorrow and she’s not allowed to rest . You’re not to give her even a drop of water!”

“Yes . ”

The door of the woodshed was shut and locked .

Inside the woodshed, Feng Lingxue curled up in a corner . It was dark and cold, and everything hurt so much she was about to lose consciousness . Her cold, shaking hands reached into her dress and she took out a voice recorder .

As she clenched the recorder tight in her blood-soaked hands, she mused to herself, he didn’t need this anymore .

She had thought that she could be of some help to him, but that turned out to be a joke .

This was the only thing she had .

In the darkness, Feng Lingxue smiled madly . Her lips spread wide as she laughed and laughed and tears rolled down her face .

It was so hard… to live .

She hugged herself and she sunk her teeth into her tongue, biting down hard .

As her tongue split, she could taste blood .

She couldn’t even feel any pain .

Only freedom…

But she suddenly released her tongue, as though someone had poured ice-cold water on her and drenched her from top to toe . Her thoughts cleared and she thought, what am I doing?

What was Mu Mu going to do if she died?

Mu Mu .

Her Mu Mu .

She couldn’t die before she found Mu Mu .

The North Duke had been sent to the hospital after he had passed out . She had to find a way to get out and find him there .

That’s right, she couldn’t die . She could not afford to lose her life .

Feng Lingxue pressed her head against the ice-cold wall . She suddenly understood that living wasn’t difficult . What was difficult was not being able to die when you wanted to .

Her life seemed hopeless .

A woman as useless as her shouldn’t have been allowed to live in this world . It would be better if she died .

But she couldn’t .

…

A week later .

Feng Lingxue was wearing a set of tattered and torn clothes . She had a big pail in one hand and her head was down as she did her chores .

She couldn’t stop . The South Duchess had sent Mo Mo to supervise her . As soon as she slowed down, she would be beaten .

At this moment, there were a few maids chatting in front of her .

—-Have you heard? There’s going to be a huge engagement party at the Snow Mountain Residence in three days . The Silver Mask King and Shi Xiaoxiao are going to be officially engaged .

—-My god, I’m so envious of Miss Shi . Do you know that the Silver Mask King has all the cards in his hands now? So much has changed since the past . Now his Snow Mountain Residence is so much more elegant and lively than the South Palace . He’s going to be unstoppable once he marries Shi Xiaoxiao . This engagement party is going to take all the limelight away from the wedding between the West Duke and the East Duke’s daughter a few days later .

—-The Silver Mask King is amazing .

—-Stop daydreaming . I don’t even know how many dignitaries want to send their daughters to the Snow Mountain Residence to be a concubine but don’t even have a chance to…

Listening to their discussion, Feng Lingxue slowly lowered her lashes . Without slowing her footsteps, she poured the water into the tank . The cold water splattered onto her tattered clothes .

The cold was piercing through her bones .

Winter had come .

…

The news of Xuan Ying and Shi Xiaoxiao’s engagement spread around Country A like wildfire . The West Duke received an invitation as well .
