Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yang Xiaoxun’s heart had grown cold because of her past. However, Chen Chengkang was sincere toward her and silently protected her. He would also watch the plays whenever she performed.
Chen Chengkang would not buy tacky gifts for Yang Xiaoxun but would get her desserts. However, he knew she did not like accepting gifts and would ask the staff to give them to her.
After receiving constant gifts, Yang Xiaoxun discovered who was sending them. She never thought he would get involved with the Duke of Chen’s younger brother nor enter a noble family again.
Although Chen Chengkang was persistent and protective of her, she dared not get too involved. Still, his sentiments touched her. He grew anxious when he discovered Yang Xiaoxun’s plans to meet Han Mobei, so he rushed over.
“I’m sorry, Xiaoxun. I came because I was worried about you.” Chen
Chengkang felt sorry for her but was also afraid his approach would make her uncomfortable by reminding her of her past. Therefore, he always kept a safe distance.
Yang Xiaoxun noticed Chen Chengkangs sincerity and said, “Don’t apologize. Give me some time, okay? Let’s get to know each other better first.”
Chen Chengkang was excited to hear that. “Really? That sounds great!”
Naturally, he understood her cautiousness. He also knew how popular Yang Xiaoxun was, as many adored her. Even so, she usually did not meet her fans outside except during her performances.
Moreover, everyone knew Su Binglan was the owner of the theater. No one would dare act rashly, let alone disrespect the production crew. A single disrespect coma result In a oeneacung.
Chen Chengkang was courageous enough to pursue Yang Xiaoxun.
Chen Zhuzhu was thrilled, saying, “I hope you’ll become my aunt, Miss Xiaoxun. My grandmother is kind, and the Duke of Chen’s residence is peaceful now. You don’t have to worry about my family bullying you. My uncle and I will protect you, okay?”
Yang Xiaoxun chuckled upon hearing Chen Zhuzhu’s words.
Su Chun had taken the initiative to check on Chen Chengkang’s information and pass it on to Yang Xiaoxun. Su Chun would investigate everyone who approached Yang Xiaoxun.
Yang Xiaoxun knew Chen Chengkang was a kind soul. She also knew he had joined the army when he was younger but despised fame and became a businessman after retiring.
He only did business to earn enough to help the families of the soldiers who had died in wars. Even so, he took no credit for doing that. With Chu Countrys new policies, he no longer needed to worry about those families’ lives.
Chen Chengkang was passionate about life, resembling the sun that gradually melted Yang Xiaoxun’s cold heart. Therefore, she wanted to live a good life with him.
Su Binglan smiled as she watched the duo interact. She felt confident that they would end up together because Chen Chengkang was of excellent character.
Chen Zhuzhu looked away from Yang Xiaoxun and saw Su Binglan. The former became excited, saying, “Miss— I mean, greetings, Your Highness.”
She bowed to Su Binglan as she spoke. The person who had saved Chen Zhuzhu’s life in Tenghe Town had become the royal princess of Chu Country. Su Binglan was Chen Zhuzhu’s benefactor.
Not only did Su Binglan cure Chen Zhuzhu of her poisoning, but the former also taught her how to protect herself and restrain her enemies before returning to the Duke of Chen’s residence.
Chen Zhuzhu might not even be alive now without Su Binglan’s teachings. Even with her grandmother’s protection, it was always better to defend herself. Chen Zhuzhu could only live in peace after eradicating her enemies. No one in the residence would dare to harm her.
Chen Chengkang hurriedly bowed when he saw Su Binglan. The latter waved, saying, “There’s no need for formalities. I came out in casual clothes, anyway.”
“Thank you, Your Highness,” Chen Zhuzhu said excitedly.
Su Binglan responded, “You’re livelier than I remember.”
In the past, Chen Zhuzhu had a soft and quiet personality, but she became more enthusiastic. It seemed she lived well in the Duke of Chen’s residence. Chen Zhuzhu was the duke’s eldest daughter. She no longer faced any issues after dealing with her enemies.
Su Binglan patted Chen Zhuzhu’s shoulder and then looked at Yang Xiaoxun and Chen Chengkang, saying, “You two must live well.”
“Of course, Your Highness.”
“Princess Binglan,” Yang Xiaoxun said, “Han Mobei seems to have gone insane. Did something go wrong?”
“You don’t have to worry. The whole family will die anyway. It doesn’t matter if some of them lose their minds.’
Yang Xiaoxun sighed in relief. She was worried about affecting Su Binglan!s affairs. The former felt at ease after getting her revenge. In the past, Han
Mobei and his mother would always act arrogantly and look down on her.
However, they began to beg for mercy and for Su Binglan to release them. The Han family was desperate to survive. The way they knelt before Yang Xiaoxun reminded her of the humiliation she had suffered in the family’s residence.
Yang Xiaoxun had begged the Han family to let her live. That was when they poisoned her and chased her out of the house. Although she had saved Han Mobei from a fire, the family thought she was just an ant.
They did not care if she died but did not want her to die in their home. They considered her a country bumpkin who deserved to die in the wilderness. Yang Xiaoxun would never forget her pain and despair.
After watching the Han family kneel and beg for mercy, she told them that only one could survive. The family would have to fight for their survival, which they did. The family fought each other until they started bleeding.
Soon after, Yang Xiaoxun told them she was lying about releasing the survivor. Everyone went crazy, especially Han Mobei. Yang Xiaoxun felt incredibly satisfied to see it. She knew her master had given her an excellent opportunity to get her revenge.
If Yang Xiaoxun had not had the burn scars on her face when Su Binglan first met her, Yang Xiaoxun and Old Madam Yang would not have had the life they have now.
In the past, Yang Xiaoxun’s neighbors would constantly point at her and gossip about her. After learning from her master, Yang Xiaoxun became loved by everyone in the capital.
She felt carefree at that moment. As expected, her master, Su Binglan, was right. Yang Xiaoxun would have a good life as long as she worked hard. She looked at the people who loved her and considered her past. She felt her past had become all but fleeting clouds..
