Chapter 1040: Such a Charmer
Once her makeup and dressing were finished, the maid withdrew, carefully pulling the door shut behind her.
Guards were stationed outside, seemingly to keep Dong Chiyu from escaping.
Dong Chiyu sat before the bronze mirror. Looking at her reflection and the red bridal makeup on her face, a surge of resentment welled up in her heart.
Was it the First Branch, or the Second Branch...
It could be either of them.
In her early years, neither branch had ever treated her and her mother well. Later on, Dong Chiyu had offended the Second Branch quite a bit herself. There were some things she simply couldn't endure—one day, she had even harbored murderous intent and taken up her spear, though she had ultimately been stopped.
Those people saw her as a nail in the eye, a thorn in the flesh, and had probably long wished her dead.
They were just waiting for her to marry over and cause a scene. Once that happened, the Yun Family would certainly refuse to tolerate her. With husband and wife at odds, she would never be able to clear her name.
Dong Chiyu sighed softly, feeling truly foolish. Even now, she still didn't know who was scheming against her.
