Chapter 15 It Is Decided
Seeing he did not argue further, joy filled me.
“It is settled! Stay here quietly. Ask the servants for anything you need.”
I reluctantly released his hand and turned to leave, to push those useless fools to hurry with capturing the prisoner and preparing the wedding.

Under the pear tree he stood quietly, sunlight filtering through branches and leaves, casting dappled shadows on him, beautiful beyond mortal.
My heart skipped again.
At the same time, greater fury rose—
That dog Xiao Heng!
He must have used some filthy method to force the beauty!
The worry on his face was surely because of him.
Just wait!
I will carve you into pieces to avenge my Beloved!
