Chapter 46 Cloud Feather CP Palace Expedition 16
Inside the perpetually dark and gloomy headquarters of Wufeng, a man with a buzz cut and dressed in black patted another man on the shoulder with a wicked smile.
"What? Still heartbroken over that devil of yours?"
"It's none of your business."
Han Ya Si slapped Han Ya Qi's hand away, his face visibly haggard.
"How is it none of my business? The one who was supposed to be sacrificed was my subordinate, Chi, but she stupidly took her place."
Although they killed Lao Zhiren and Gong Huanyu, it forced us brothers to go into the woods in the middle of the night to dig up the corpses, clean up and set up a fire, and burn down Hunyuan Zheng Mansion.
This is the first time we've ever taken on such a troublesome mission. Next time, you'd better train your assassins properly so they don't cause us any more trouble.
Han Yaqi sneered, turned around, and left humming a little tune.
Han Ya Si behind him clenched his fists, his eyes red-rimmed.
In the re-selection of spouses, Zheng Nanyi and Shangguan Qian were chosen by Gong Ziyu and Gong Shangjiao respectively.
For Shangguan Qian, the fact that her mission objective had become "wielding the blade" was an unexpected bonus, and the mission that had been abandoned had been completed.
Because of the death of the old master, Gong Ziyu had to observe a three-year mourning period.
Although Gong Shangjiao is not required to observe a period of mourning, he will not get married immediately, and besides, the two of them will never actually become wives of the Gong family.
Therefore, Zheng Nanyi and Shangguan Qianhui entered the Feather Palace and Horn Palace respectively as attendants.
The other brides were sent home, leaving only Song Xinning, who was receiving medical treatment, in the women's quarters.
Upon opening the door to the women's quarters, Shangguan Qian saw Gong Yuanzheng standing with his back to her.
Although somewhat disappointed, she still smiled and said, "Young Master Zheng, thank you for coming to pick me up."
Seeing that Gong Yuanzheng was not responding, Shangguan Qian continued, "Young Master Zheng, are you usually not very talkative? No wonder the maids in the other courtyard seem a little afraid of you."
Gong Yuanzheng chuckled, "It's better to make others afraid than to be afraid of others."
"It seems so."
Gong Yuanzheng turned and walked out of the women's quarters. Shangguan Qian glanced at the hidden weapon pouch on his waist.
"Young Master Zheng..." Pretending to lose her balance, she lunged at Gong Yuanzheng.
Having confirmed that she was Wu Feng, Gong Yuanzheng, who was on high alert, used his skills to create distance.
Shangguan Qian's expression changed slightly, and she had no choice but to let herself fall to the ground.
Her clothes were dirty, so she couldn't go to see Gong Shangjiao like that. She went back to her room to change, while Gong Yuanzheng waited outside the door.
A series of light footsteps approached, and Gong Yuanzheng turned around to look at the sound, his tone displeased.
Even a tortoise isn't as slow as you.
"You're the turtle!"
Dressed in red, Song Xinning entered Gong Yuanzheng's line of sight, her hair dancing in the wind, her ruby hairpin swaying with every step.
After several days of taking herbal medicine, Song Xinning looked less sickly, and with her exquisite makeup, she no longer appeared pale; her face was as beautiful as a peach blossom, with bright eyes and white teeth.
"New clothes? Your brother sent them?" Gong Yuanzheng thought of the letter that Young Master Song had sent. Could it have been sent along with the letter?
"Yes, yes, isn't it beautiful~"
Song Xinning lifted the hem of her skirt and twirled around to show Gong Yuanzheng the gold threads on her dress, which shimmered in the sunlight.
“Ugly.” Gong Yuanzheng turned his head and said, looking at Song Xinning’s radiant smile.
Song Xinning stomped her foot and retorted, "How is it ugly! This is the latest style popular in Jiangnan, it's clearly so beautiful!"
Feeling mischievous, Gong Yuan crossed his arms and replied, "I wasn't talking about clothes."
"If it's not about the clothes, does it mean I'm talking about..." Song Xinning was furious, "Gong Yuanzheng! I'm breaking off all ties with you!"
