Chapter 1328: Self-Sacrificing Stratagem
In the bronze mirror, an astonishingly beautiful young woman appeared, carrying an air of nobility mixed with a hint of coldness, like a sacred and untouchable fairy.
"Young Miss, you are truly beautiful."
Zi Xia had just finished applying makeup for the Young Miss and smiled at Xuexue in the bronze mirror.
Today is the Young Miss’s wedding, the first time she wore heavy makeup. Normally, she already outshines everyone with her natural beauty, and who would have thought that just applying some makeup today made her look like a completely different person, like a fairy descending to earth from the heavens, breathtakingly beautiful and astonishingly divine.
"Alas! It’s such a pity that you have to marry the War Prince." Zi Xia continued to mutter to herself, her tone filled with indignation: "The Old Master, for the sake of saving the Little Young Master, disregarded the Young Miss’s happiness and forced her to marry a man on the brink of death, really outrageous."
The War Prince, with unrivaled martial arts and power, is just a bit ugly and lustful. Normally, someone like Zi Xia from the itinerant world wouldn’t pay much attention to these details. The issue is, he is about to die, yet he still ruins the Young Miss’s life, making her very angry.
Looking at the indignant Zi Xia, Xuexue couldn’t help but smile gently and ask softly: "The War Prince holds great power, marrying him is like marrying into power, and no one will dare to bully your young lady anymore, isn’t that good?"
"Good my foot, he’s about to die, what’s the use of power? Besides, there’s an old saying, when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. When the War Prince kicks the bucket and goes to Lord Yama, who will care then? It sounds nice to call you the widow, but unpleasantly, you’re just a widow, your life is basically over. Young Miss, I can’t understand, the Old Master normally treats you quite well, how could he make such a foolish decision at a crucial moment!"
Regarding Zi Xia’s doubts, Xuexue expressed understanding. Situ Yongjie is a filial son; the Old Madam cried and lamented in his ear, using the bitter flesh tactic, and Situ Yongjie, with a softened heart, made this decision, which is not surprising.
Thankfully, she and Long Rui had known each other for a long time, so she didn’t feel much about such entrapment.
These days, rumors were rampant in the Capital, saying the War Prince was seriously ill and was close to dying.
