Chapter 13

Feng Xiuyu laughed coldly when he saw that the Third Prince invited sons from prestigious and influential families . The shame that Feng Tianlan was going to experience today would force the Emperor to annul the marriage, no matter how unwilling he might be .

“Big Brother Rong, can you tell me now how you intend to get Feng Tianlan to make a fool out of herself?”

Si Rong glanced outside the carriage to make sure that no one could hear them . Only then did he lower his voice ominously, saying, “I’ve rubbed some Aphrodisiac Powder on her utensils . Within minutes, she’ll feel so hot all over that she’ll strip naked and beg the men present to take her . Once she loses her virginity, she’ll be so disgraced that she could even commit suicide on the spot . ”

“That’s too obvious . What if…”

“Don’t worry, I was careful to wipe away every last trace . Since I only used a tiny dose, they’ll never know that it was me . Once Feng Tianlan consumes the powder and it’s gone, even Imperial Physicians can’t detect it,” Si Rong sneered . “This time, I’ll make sure that Feng Tianlan loses all dignity to live and finally annul this marriage . ”

How could a worthless, good-for-nothing like Feng Tianlan be worthy of him, a noble prince? Only a young genius like Yu’er could stand by his side . Furthermore, she was Feng’s Xiang’s youngest daughter, whom he doted on most . Only with the Fengs’ support did he have a better chance of becoming the Crown Prince .

Feng Xiuyu nested on Si Rong’s chest like a timid and lovable bird . “If anything happens, Yu’er will take all the blame . Rest assured, Big Brother Rong . ”

Hearing Feng Xiuyu’s words, Si Rong felt that she was more endearing than ever . He doted on her more, saying, “There’s nothing to worry . Even if they find out what happened, I’ve made arrangements . They’ll never implicate us . ”

“I’ll listen to Big brother Rong,” Feng Xiuyu answered sweetly and obediently .

Si Rong assured Feng Xiuyu a little more before helping her exit the carriage . He looked at the sea of onlookers and flashed a cold, ruthless smile . The crowd erupted into chatter again when they saw Si Rong emerge from the carriage with Feng Xiuyu . Many were disappointed . They believed that, since she’d managed to turn the tides on the young genius maiden, Feng Tianlan’s love life should also be making a comeback . But, in the end, she was still the woman whom the Third Prince had discarded .

Si Rong had booked the entire Fragrance Restaurant and invited esteemed and prestigious sons to the banquet . Once he stepped into the restaurant, his crooked buddies, with whom he usually hung out, came up to him directly . Si Rong scanned the room but didn’t see her . He frowned . It’s almost time, but Feng Tianlan is nowhere to be seen . “Has Feng Tianlan arrived?” he asked .

“Not yet . It’s almost time . Could it be that she’s not coming, after all?”

“How can that be? Everyone knows that Feng Tianlan loves the Third Prince . She even confessed her love to him on the streets years ago and gifted him a pouch, which she always kept close . ”

“Might be the same as yesterday, then . Feng Tianlan’s playing hard to get, and it’s all to attract the Third Prince’s attention . ”

…

In normal circumstances, they would’ve scoffed at the sort of banquets held in the Fragrance Restaurant’s hall . However, what had transpired today on the battle ring had long spread throughout the entire South Peace City . Many of them had not seen the events in the battle ring, so they’d all come that night to watch the drama unfold .

Silence fell inside and outside the Fragrance Restaurant as Si Rong pulled out a chair for Feng Xiuyu . At first, the sudden quiet had made him frown, but now he quickly smiled eerily . Feng Tianlan is here! The thought that Feng Tianlan would soon be begging men to ravish her in public excited Si Rong .

He raised his head and said, “Feng…Second Brother?” Before he could finish pronouncing the words “Feng Tianlan,” he saw a man clad in white disturbing the silence by making a grand entrance .

It was his Second Brother, the Wargod who terrified him to no end . Immediately, Si Rong’s expression stiffened . Second Brother never attends banquets of this sort . He walked up to greet his brother, albeit a little reluctantly .

“Second Brother, why have you come?”
