His Peasant Wife: Yao Ling [Part 1]

Chapter 171: Lin Zhou - The Ce Fei's Story 1

Tao Gu Gu told the story that took place after she met the Ce Fei. "At first... the Ce Fei didn't remember me and it took me a few days to be able to talk to her."

"Why? You were her personal maidservant, right?" Yao Ling asked.

She served right by her side, why couldn't she talk to the Ce Fei at all?

Tao Gu Gu sighed and explained everything slowly. The Ce Fei was quite depressed at those times.

She didn't react to anything and she only looked around lifelessly, despite the prince's coax and promise to anything that she wanted.

The Ce Fei only asked for one thing, "Can you send me back to my husband and son? Let me go, please?" The Ce Fei turned her lifeless gaze to the prince while asking monotonously.

She had asked for this for so many times, but it fell into deaf ears.

How could a proud prince agree to that? He had done a lot for making this woman as his and yet she wanted him to let her go that easily?

She must be dreaming! Knowing that the man wouldn't release her, the Ce Fei could only sneer and say, "You promise to give me anything that I want, but it seems like you are also good at lying." After saying that, the Ce Fei didn't even look at him anymore.

The prince gnashed his teeth in anger and said, "I can promise you anything --- except that. You.Are.Mine!" After making a declaration in a loud voice, the prince turned around and left the woman all alone.

The Ce Fei could only laugh bitterly to herself while crying.

She looked at the moon outside and thought to herself, 'Lin Zheng... Lin Jian ah~ how are you?' She sadly looked down and gripped her handkerchief tightly, feeling depressed once again.

She knew that sooner or later... that man would force himself on her.

She could see the lust in his face despite the so-called love that he kept mentioning.

This wasn't love at all... this was only a pure obsession.

However, there was nothing she could do.

Even if she ran away, she would only bring calamity to Lin's household --- might as well, living a lonely life here.

As long as both of them were safe...

Yao Ling was dumbfounded. She didn't think that it was that severe.

"The Ce Fei... isn't she a strong woman?" Yao Ling asked.

She had listened to the way Lin Jian described her and it didn't seem like they were talking the same person.

The woman even dared to stand up to General Lin and also calmly dealt with Lin Jian's birth mother.

How could she become this weak?

Tao Gu Gu laughed bitterly. "No matter how strong Ce Fei was... how could she be able to stay sane with the way the prince tried to break her wings?" Tao Gu Gu's gaze was full of hatred.

Yao Ling looked up in surprise.

"What... what did he do to her?"

Yao Ling asked, suddenly having a bad premonition and she was feeling scared to listen about what she was going to hear next.

"It started after she wanted him to release her. It plagued the prince's mind and he tried to search for a way... a way to make her stay beside him, no matter what. At that time, he met with a courtesan that gave a cruel solution for him... that courtesan was able to become his concubine also because of that solution too..." Tao Gu Gu trailed off.
