Chapter 87

"So you're Miss Luo?" Rong Rong swayed the swing slightly, calmly looking at the woman standing there dumbfounded. "Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor. If you want to fight, go fight Chen Cong."

Although Rong Rong didn't know what kind of love-hate relationship existed between Miss Luo and Chen Cong, she was definitely innocent.

Luo Huixiu didn't speak, nor did she hear what Rong Rong said. She was only surprised to find that her voice was so similar to that of the fairy in front of her.

Luo Huixiu has a beautiful voice, and her captivating singing has made her a renowned courtesan in Jiangnan.

She had always been very satisfied with her voice and was proud of it, but now, the fairy's voice seemed to be even better.

No, you should say she couldn't even come close.

Looking at their attire, the similar demeanor, the similar headdress and clothing, and even the similar voice...

Suddenly, a terrible thought popped into my head.

Luo Huixiu had almost forgotten that she used to love gorgeous headdresses, exquisite jewelry, and brightly colored clothes, and she used to dress up carefully every day.

Until one day, Chen Cong brought her a jade hairpin and instructed the maid to style her hair, telling her to always dress like that from now on.

She guessed that Chen Cong liked it, and shyly agreed. From then on, the beautiful courtesan became the aloof and plain woman she is today.

So it turns out he didn't love her, but the fairy in front of him?

So, she's just a substitute for him? But how could she possibly be worthy of being his substitute?

"Look, Chen Cong is here, let's go and beat him up." The soft voice spoke innocent yet cold words.

A wave of panic washed over her, and Luo Huixiu's body went limp and she was about to fall, but fortunately Hongxing caught her in time.

Luo Huixiu belatedly realized that the fairy was calling the adults by their first names, showing her arrogance and recklessness.

So even the spoiled nature she developed was simply because that's just how the person in question is.

Poor thing, she thought she held a certain importance in the adults' hearts.

Unable to bear staying any longer, Luo Huixiu turned and staggered away. When she saw Chen Cong standing at the gate of the courtyard, Luo Huixiu stopped abruptly, her whole body trembling.

Luo Huixiu felt that her death was imminent.

It's laughable that she previously thought that as long as she killed the women of Qiushuiyuan, the master would still be hers.

She even thought she had a way to coax the adults into forgiving her.

In fact, the adult never belonged to her. If she were to lay a finger on him, she would face utter destruction.

Luo Huixiu closed her eyes tightly, awaiting death.

Unexpectedly, Chen Cong did not kill her. He only gave her a cold look and said, "You've seen her. Behave like her. In three days, I will send you to someone's side. Kill him!"

A strong killing intent emanated from the air, and Luo Huixiu trembled all over, bowing her head in agreement.

Afterwards, she bowed and withdrew. Before leaving, Luo Huixiu glanced back unwillingly, only to see Chen Cong still standing at the door, gazing intently into the courtyard.

So, the great man she regarded as a god was actually so humble and cautious in front of the fairy?

Chen Cong's towering image crumbled, and Luo Huixiu's sorrow and resentment turned into a profound sense of powerlessness the moment she met Rong Rong.

Chen Cong didn't care about Luo Huixiu's thoughts, just as Rong Rong never cared about his feelings.

He stood at the door, never daring to go forward. It was not only an act of avoidance, but also a sign that he had no way to deal with the other person. He could only act like a petty thief, hiding in the shadows every day to secretly spy on her in order to relieve his longing.

Chen Cong had never intended for Rong Rong to leave, and of course, he had not given up on his assassination attempt on Xie Tianrui.

So he specially sought out a woman whose voice resembled Rong Rong's, trained her to be a replica of Rong Rong, and was just waiting to send her to Xie Tianrui's side.

That blind man has never seen Rong Rong before, so he'll definitely take the bait, right?

Chen Cong smiled. As for Rong Rong, he hadn't come up with a good way to coax her yet; he needed to think about it carefully.

Perhaps we can gather all the delicacies in the world; hopefully this trick will still work on Rong Rong.

Before Chen Cong could even appease Rong Rong, news of his upcoming wedding reached Qiushui Garden first.

"The master clearly loves the girl, so why does he suddenly want to marry someone else?" Qingliu was furious, even more anxious than Rongrong.

Rong Rong, on the contrary, was in a good mood, feeling that her situation had taken a turn for the better.

"It's said that Lord Nan arranged this marriage for you, so you certainly can't resist!" Qingliu quickly found the answer herself. "Miss, why is Lord Nan doing this?"

The "Master Nan" that Qingliu mentioned was Chen Cong's uncle. Rongrong looked at Qingliu's angry little face and found it amusing.

Why? What else could it be? It must be because she's unhappy that Chen Cong is entangled with her, a village girl.

Given her background, how could she be worthy of being Chen Cong's legal wife in Chen Cong's uncle's eyes?

Moreover, the fact that Chen Cong is so infatuated with her must make that Master Nan unhappy, right?

The sharpest knife in the emperor's hand, what need is there for love?

Perhaps she could ask this uncle for help if she wanted to leave.

666: "You want to find your uncle? Aren't you afraid he'll just kill you?"

“If he didn’t want to fall out with Chen Cong, he wouldn’t have come to kill me; at most, he would have sent me away,” Rong Rong said confidently.

"He can't be stupid; a dead 'white moonlight' is even more terrifying!"

Rong Rong smiled and sipped her tea happily. Qing Liu, who was oblivious to what was going on, also laughed. She had been too attached to appearances.

Her daughter is like a fairy descended from heaven; why would she care about mere mortals? Even if the adults begged and pleaded for her hand in marriage, she wouldn't marry him!

It wasn't difficult to contact Chen Cong's uncle; Chen Cong had people in his household, and Rong Rong found them.

As for how she knew who Uncle Chen Cong's people were, it was mentioned briefly in the background information.

The ability to sift through vast and complex information is an essential skill for mission takers. Rong Rong, who usually has the most free time, likes to browse through the world's background information.

The message had barely been sent out when Rong Rong was taken out of the mansion that very night.

As expected, Chen Cong's uncle was the mastermind behind everything. Even though Chen Cong was the leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, he was still under his uncle's control.

Chen Cong's uncle was quite interested at the moment, thinking that he would meet the woman his nephew cared about later.

He didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to come to him. They were quite sensible and understanding, completely different from what he had imagined—they would cry and make a scene.

Moreover, his nephew failed to win over the other party even after a year, which shows that the other party's character is extraordinary.

He knew very well how popular his nephew was among the noble ladies of the capital; the number of ladies who were infatuated with him was countless.

This also shows how strong the peasant girl's desire for revenge was. He liked this very much; the more ruthless, the better. He was just worried about not being able to get rid of the Marquis of Jiangyang.

Hearing that the person had been brought to the palace, he was about to go and see him when news suddenly came from the palace that His Majesty had summoned him.

Helpless, he quickly got up and hurriedly ordered, "Arrange for her to be sent to Marquis Jiangyang. Considering she is sensible, you can grant her any reasonable requests."

After saying this, he hurried towards the palace.
