The Anarchic Consort [ Chapter 1 - 199 ]

Chapter 88: Humiliate Wei Wei

If they hadn’t mentioned it, Wei Wei basically would’ve forgotten what bitterness she’d previously experienced because of the Flower Gifting Festival.

In the Dragon War Empire, the annual Flower Gifting Festival was the holiday that young girls looked forward to the most, because on this day, all the young lords from influential families would hold a white cherry blossom in their hands to give to a young lady they liked.

At that time, Wei Wei had just reached marriageable age (fifteenth birthday), and she had the fantasies that all young girls would have. She waited expectantly for her future husband to present her with a white cherry blossom.

For the sake of being beautiful that day, she even threw away her pride and approached Lady Su to ask for money.

She still remembered the sarcastic remarks those people by Lady Su’s side made.

They said even if she dressed up more, she’d still merely be wretched, spoiled goods.

Wei Wei clenched her hands tightly, swallowing the grievance stopped up in the pit of her stomach. Even if it couldn’t be swallowed, she must. No matter how unrestrained they rumored her to be in the capital, in reality, only she knew that within the Defense Division, she’d always had to watch out for someone else’s mood.

She was afraid that Murong Chang Feng would forget to bring the white cherry blossom, so she looked for his little manservant and asked the servant to deliver a letter for her.

Who knew, not only did that servant not send the letter, instead, he obeyed an order to take that letter and read it out loud clearly to the entire world under the sun and moon.

All of the young lords and ladies from influential families attending the Flower Gifting Festival learned of the contents of that letter.

What originally was a young girl’s bashful inner thoughts were, in this way, laid bare and displayed under a thousand staring eyes.

Young men started to regard her as being licentious and unrespectable.

The young girls holding their fans practically rolled on the floor in laughter.

She even remembered Helian Jiao Er’s laughing appearance at that time when she curved her red lips and said to her, “Oldest Sister, you must not, by any means, bear grudges against Lord Murong. He also didn’t think it would attract so many people to encircle and watch.”

At that time, she was young. Her brain spinned like a top, unable to think straight.

There obviously was someone who hiddenly made a move to destroy her reputation and her name stank from then on.

And during that time, Murong Chang Feng simply didn’t say anything. He just stood there high and tall, coldly smiling as if taking a glance at her would make him feel disgusted.

Wei Wei just stood there dumbstruck as she looked at all of this.

Everybody roared with laughter, like they were looking at a clown and mocking her.

But at that time, it’s as if she only had eyes left for that letter pasted on the wall and the white cherry blossom crumbled on the ground.

On that day, she was the only girl who didn’t receive a white cherry blossom. Even the Mei family’s young miss, who was three times as wide as her, received a flower that someone shared as a gentlemanly gesture.

Yet she, was instead visited by someone.

And that family’s young lord unexpectedly said to her, “Heh, I really couldn’t tell you were so licentious. How about coming along with this brother, hmm?”
