Preparing for Marriage

“Bring that person up!” The bearded man stared straight at Feng Yu Heng. It was as though he was looking at a product, as his eyes revealed some bad intentions.

At this time, Feng Yu heng had already regained her weak and timid appearance. As the bearded man saw it, this was nothing more than a young girl. Although she was pretty and clever-looking, she was still someone that would not be able to escape her fate.

Following the bearded man’s shout, an older woman was immediately brought up the stairs. That older woman stood at the bearded man’s side and glanced at Feng Yu Heng. She then bowed to the bearded man and asked: “Is it that girl?”

The bearded man glanced at the shopkeeper to his side, and the shopkeeper quickly said: “That’s right. That room is the one the Lu family is staying in. When lord Lu left, he said for us to keep an eye on this girl and make sure that she does not take half a step outside.”

The bearded man nodded, “Un, that’s the one.” After saying this, he gestured with his chin, “Go. There’s only one night left. Adjustments need to be made.”

“General, don’t worry.” The older woman smiled, her face filled with confidence. It was clear that she was already very familiar with this matter.

She walked over toward Feng Yu Heng, and nobody knew what was going on. They were looking over in confusion; however, they heard the bearded man suddenly shout: “Quickly, prepare your birthday gifts. This general will be collecting them now!”

On that side, the people helplessly went to hand over their birthday gifts, their bitterness was resounding. On the other side, Feng Yu Heng looked toward the older woman and sneered to herself but maintained a frightened expression on her face. She also began to retreat one step at a time.

The old woman entered the room then closed the door. With a grin, she revealed her yellow teeth, saying to Feng Yu Heng with a sigh: “Don’t be afraid. This old one has come to teach you some rules. After tonight, if you can obtain lord Duan Mu’s favor, when this old woman sees you again, I will need to kowtow and call you master.”

Feng Yu Heng squinted her eyes and thought to herself that she had guessed correctly. For the sake of their own advancement, the Lu family couple was planning to send her into their leader’s palace. For her, this was very good and allowed her to not waste any time.

That night, Feng Yu Heng did not get any sleep. The old woman was also quite spirited. Without stopping, she spoke through the entire night. It was mostly just about how a woman should take care of a man. But who was Feng Yu Heng? She was someone that had experienced two lives. If she wanted to gain some information from this old woman, it was too easy.

She told the old woman: “Granny, since master and madam are sending me to the leader, I will accept my fate. I will make use of granny’s auspicious words, and maybe Qian Xi will be able to live a pampered life after obtaining his favor. Qian Xi will listen to what granny says and learn properly. If I have a good future, I definitely will not forget granny’s grace.”

The old woman saw that she was very understanding and smiled brightly; however, she was filled with disdain. You think you will have a bright future? You want to gain his favor? Dream on! The leader merely shows some warmth and kindness to each woman for two or three months. After just a few days, there would be a new person. The leader’s palace had twelve concubines. Counting you, there will be 13; however, you wouldn’t know that the nameless maidservants that he had slept with would not number less than 100.

Although Feng Yu Heng could not guess what exactly the granny was thinking, she was able to make a rough guess. But this was not something to worry about. They were just doing their jobs. The things that she wanted to know about, she would naturally ask about on her own, “Granny, Qian Xi wants to ask. What sorts of hobbies does the leader enjoy? For the sake of taking good care of him, this will also save me from accidentally making a mistake.”
