The Quick Transmigration Goddess is a Sweet Thing

Chapter 15: Miss Handicap (15)

She fell into a soft embrace.

Su Kui opened her eyes, and after a short while, she chuckled.

This palace maid was qualified!

Yes, Su Kui was testing Lu Yao to see what kind of person she was.

All Su Kui could do was accept it if the palace maid decided to hide the fact that she knew martial arts and let her fall.

She simply would not trust her in the future or use her for any important tasks.

However, Lu Yao obviously chose to use another way to show Su Kui her sincerity.

Feng Qingqing’s facial muscles twitched as she could no longer pretend to be frightened. She forced a smile and asked, “Are you all right, Sister? I’m sorry, please forgive me.”

Su Kui sneered. She did not know what Feng Qingqing hated about her. Even though she was born of a concubine, she had a healthy body and a pretty face. She was even loved by her father and the Fourth Mistress. Yet, why was she still not content?

She raised her eyebrows and gave a noncommittal answer. “Feng Qingqing, I advise you to not waste your time on me; it’s meaningless. It will not benefit any of us if people know that we are fighting amongst ourselves even though we’re sisters. Don’t you think so? Furthermore, if Father finds out…”

Su Kui did not finish her sentence, but she believed that Feng Qingqing definitely understood what she meant.

The reason why Grand Preceptor Feng doted on her was simple. The Feng Family had three daughters. The legitimate daughter had a disability, the second daughter was slow in the head, and the only one who could be presented to the public was the third daughter. 

Any ambitious person would want to send their daughters to the palace so that they could become the empress.

Therefore, Feng Qingqing’s expression changed. She must have figured it out too. She bowed slightly and said, “You’re right. I’ll keep this in mind to avoid others from misunderstanding.”

Su Kui gave her a faint smile. “Hmm, as long as you understand.”

Feng Qingqing led the life of a wh*re but still wanted a monument for her chastity.

Su Kui wondered what the point of it was.

After she watched Feng Qingqing quickly walk away with her eyes narrowed, Su Kui turned her head and said to Lu Yao, “Let’s go too.”

Lu Yao pursed her lips and responded respectfully. She did not dare to look into Su Kui’s sparkling eyes.

She could not see through this young lady who was in front of her. She was always smiling while exhibiting an imperious and forceful attitude.

Everyone inside and outside the imperial court knew that the legitimate daughter from the Grand Preceptor’s Residence was temperamental. She would hit people if they disagreed with what she said.

Many people laughed at Grand Preceptor Feng. They said that he had been wise his entire life but Feng Residence, which had produced many pillars of the nation, actually gave birth to a useless daughter, who not only had a disability but was also incompetent.

That caused Grand Preceptor Feng to lose face in front of his colleagues.

Lu Yao, on the other hand, did not think so. She could not see through Su Kui. Every seemingly stupid sentence she uttered could pierce the weakest spots in a person’s heart perfectly, and it made others unable to refute her.

More importantly, Lu Yao could detect an aura from Su Kui that was unusually similar to that of her master.

Late at night, the bright moon outside the window of the prince regent’s residence was like a layer of silver gauze. Its glow poured down through the half-opened lattice window.

There was no light in the room, so the silver moonlight provided the room with dim illumination. It even gave the man, who was reclining on his soft couch, a pale glow.

Right then, the door creaked, and someone opened it from the outside, breaking the silence in the room.

Li Jin came in quickly with his body bowed. His footsteps were so light that there was practically no sound. He stood still ten steps away from Jun Mo.

“Your Highness, according to the intel from Lu Yao, it looks like Miss Feng has discovered the fact that she knows martial arts.”

“Oh?”

He subconsciously stroked the thumb ring on his left hand with the slender fingers of his right hand. Jun Mo raised his eyebrows and laughed softly. He did not seem to be surprised.

“I see. Tell Lu Yao to not do anything aside from tending to her every need.”

“Yes!” Li Jin replied immediately. Just as he was about to leave the room so that he could reply Lu Yao as soon as possible, Jun Mo stopped him.

“Wait! Tell Lu Yao to protect her.”
