TFDC Chapter 147.2

Chapter 147.2 - Beauty Qiao Mei

The emperor didn’t reply to him, he just looked dazedly at the palace maidservant who was kneeling in front of him.

His mind flashed back to the image of her shocked and frightened little face, his eyes filled with nostalgia.

“You, lift up your head.”

“This servant doesn’t dare to …” The palace maidservant timidly trembled, her inferior and subservient appearance touched a part of the emperor’s heart.

“Lift up your head, this emperor pardons your crimes.”

The palace maidservant then shook a bit before slowly lifting up her head.

The instant her eyes glanced upwards, they were billowing and charming, her lowered eyebrows made her look embarrassed and shy, as she still trembled a little.

She looked at the emperor like a little frightened animal, trembling.

The way that she looked at the emperor made him feel as if the tip of his heart was being scratched, his heart instantly beating faster.

Furthermore, this face that looked very similar to that other face, made him feel as if he’d gone back in time, instantly feeling much younger than he was.

Very rarely did this happen, but the emperor actually bent and stooped down to her, personally helping the palace maidservant up.

Maybe it was because she’d been kneeling for too long, but as the palace maidservant stood up, she staggered a bit, falling straight into the emperor’s embrace.

He held her tightly.

Her smooth and soft, almost boneless little hands, made the emperor unable to bear letting her go.

His heart moved as he softly and gently asked her, “You, what’s your name?”

The palace maidservant was hesitant and shy as her little face flushed red.

After a long time did she open her small mouth, “... This servant, Qiao, Qiao Mei.”

--- Lou residence, Happiness and fortune pavilion

Ruan Zhen anxiously looked at the breakfast in front of her.

Her brows were furrowed as she finally waved her hands, “Take it away, I have no appetite.”

“Second madam, you should at least something. In two more days, it’ll be the second miss’ big day.” Ruan Zhen’s personal maidservant couldn’t help but try to comfort her.

“Take it away.” Just mentioning Lou Lianxin made Ruan Zhen lose her appetite even more.

Seeing the wedding looming ahead, she thought about how her big brother still hadn’t sent over the dowry that he’d promised.

Ruan Zhen grew even more uneasy just thinking about it.

Her mind couldn’t help but flash to Lou Qingwu, that little sl*t, and what she said.

She suddenly stood up, “Tell the housekeeper to prepare, this madam wants to go to the Ruan residence.”

“That …. Yes, this servant will go to organise it.”

Ruan Zhen gripped her handkerchief, trying to calm herself down, there would definitely be no problems.

She’d already looked at it, the mother worm was perfectly fine, her big brother would definitely send over the dowry!

Bringing this kind of mentality, Ruan Zhen headed towards the Ruan family.

This time, the Ruan family head didn’t reject Ruan Zhen outside, but invited her inside the main hall of the main building.

Ruan Zhen waited for two hours before seeing Ruan Xiuren slowly walk in.

Her patience had disappeared hours ago so when she saw Ruan Xiuren, it was with a cold face.

“Big brother, you woke up late today.” That woman was still unconscious, how could he sleep well?

She was clearly mocking him but Ruan Xiuren acted as if he didn’t hear it.

He laughed generously at Ruan Zhen, his cold eyes actually a bit warm for once.

Ruan Zhen froze, her own brows furrowing.

Why did she feel like her big brother was acting strange today?

She schemed against his woman and he could still be so nice to her?

In the next moment, a warm and gentle voice rang out behind Ruan Xiuren, “Zhen’er, you’re here.”

TL note:  

I read a really twisted novel the other day and I’m going to post a review later. I’m that shocked by it.

(And I might, just might, have considered translating it if I didn’t already have two novels on my place.)

Leave a comment and follow because yup, that’s who you think it is xx
