Chapter 154 - 49: The Stolen Summoning Treasure Book
Courting death, Yue Jinghua rolled her eyes; she finally understood why Fa Xiao Yi had such a distaste for "Yue Jinghua."
All the seemingly grand and noble gestures, like saving Fa Xiao Yi from poisoning in the Imperial Garden, the life-saving grace, the bestowed marriage, all dissolved into bubbles under Fa Xiao Yi’s grinding teeth as he recounted the events.
The acquaintance between "Yue Jinghua" and Fa Xiao Yi was, in truth, a melodramatic farce, about a typical naive, pink-clad Lolita who encountered a scheming little boy.
The main character of this drama was that mischief-loving, unscrupulous father – Yue Nian.
The role of the tragic young male sidekick was Fa Xiao Yi and the foolish elder sister "Yue Jinghua," while the glaring extra was none other than the current King Fa Xiao Yun of the Shang Kingdom.
Then, everything proceeded as if it were inevitable; while Fa Xiao Yi was unconscious, the then Empress, who later became the Empress Dowager, decreed their marriage.
"Anyone would hate being manipulated; Yue Jinghua and Duke Xue Ying are nothing but shameless opportunists taking advantage of chaos," Fa Xiao Yi said coldly, "I have no affection for her whatsoever."
Lie Sisi nodded obediently, but a flicker of impatience in her eyes gave away her true feelings.
She had listened to Fa Xiao Yi repeat the same story over ten times; her silence was meant to fan the flames of his hatred for "Yue Jinghua."
"Your Highness, rest assured, I will certainly help you avenge the humiliation of the past, whether it’s Yue Jinghua or Fa Xiao Yun," Lie Sisi’s eyes held a deeper venom, "Grandfather has already recommended me to become the Imperial Alchemist."
