There are consequences to being a traitorous official.
First: Being born into a loyal official's family. She felt out of place and uncomfortable all over.
Second: Following her loya...
"..."That makes sense, but something still feels off.
Sisi yawned. "Any other questions?"
"It's gone."
"Then you'll work with Lao Hei from now on. Lao Hei, give him some injuries on his face. Make sure his parents won't recognize him. By the way, do you have family? If so, how do you plan to settle them down?"
"I have no family. Can I do it myself?"
“You don’t have Lao Hei’s skills. Lao Hei, show him your skills.”
"Okay." Old Hei took out a face from his pocket; the face was covered in pockmarks.
The assassin: "..." So that's how it's done. He thought the young lady was going to have Old Black slash his face a few times. "Miss, could you ask him to give me a better-looking picture?"
"No way. What if you use a handsome face to fool girls? What would you even call yourself?"
"My surname is Zhao."
"Then you'll be called Zhao Mazi from now on."
"..." The young lady was definitely doing it on purpose. "Miss, I wanted to look better, not to deceive girls. I just wanted to look better."
"oh."
And then what? "That..."
"If you become good-looking, you won't be on our side anymore."
“…Miss, you are quite beautiful.”
"Really? I didn't think so. Okay, it's settled then. I'll go back and get you a red envelope."
Sisi went back and circled around. "Here you go, from now on you're mine. If I have meat to eat, you won't get any soup."
"Miss Xie."
"Okay. Go back and rest. Once Old Hei gets you an identity card, you can come out and wander around."
"Alright, Miss, don't you want to ask about the First Prince?"
“I don’t want to. I took you in not because you’re the Crown Prince’s man, but because I felt you shouldn’t die after all these years of hard work.”
Zhao Mazi felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing this. "Aren't you afraid I'll betray you the way I betrayed the First Prince?"
Sisi smiled. "Do you think it was right for the First Prince to send you to kill my aunt and the others?"
"……"wrong.
Sisi looked into Zhao Mazi's eyes and said, "You gave up on the First Prince because his actions were too disheartening."
"give up?"
Sisi nodded. "This isn't betrayal, it's turning from darkness to light. Remember, you are Zhao Mazi now, not the one who aided and abetted evil. That one was killed by us when we caught him."
