Chapter 96 - 95 He Just Likes to See Her Get Jealous
Shen Yinning laughed out loud and hugged the man’s broad shoulders from behind. "Your Highness is indeed wise and mighty; no matter what I do, I cannot escape your discerning eyes. Did your heart ache for me bullying Sister Bai?"
Lu Ying pulled her into his embrace, secretly musing that as long as Shen Zhaozhao remained obedient and loyal, he didn’t care whom she targeted.
Moreover, he had no feelings for Bai Shuangshuang and despised her betrayal. Feeling sorry for her was out of the question.
He loved watching Shen Zhaozhao exhibit jealousy and petty competitiveness—it was quite amusing.
...
For three consecutive days, Bai Shuangshuang seemed to see the pale face of Madam Shen outside her window.
She tossed and turned at night, unable to sleep peacefully. The slightest sound or movement would frighten her out of her wits, leaving her desperately wishing she could burrow deep into her bedding.
When she ventured out during the day, even heavy makeup couldn’t hide the dark circles under her eyes from sleepless nights. Her figure seemed to have thinned significantly; her cheeks were sunken, and she appeared haggard, a far cry from the radiant beauty she had been upon leaving the Eastern Palace.
Originally, she had hoped to trample Shen Yinning beneath her heel, but now she avoided her at any cost.
She secretly purchased paper money and incense, burning them privately for Madam Shen. While burning them, she muttered endless apologies, begging Madam Shen and Shen Yinning to forgive her and not to haunt her anymore.
