Capítulo 112: His Departure

Xing and Shengli met each other daily in the next few days and every thing seemed to have gone back to it's usual rhythm in their Manor. The Emperor taking in consorts was the latest sensational news in the city. The Noble Ladies had to leave hurriedly from their maternal home within a week as ordered by the Emperor.

There was a celebration and it was a beautiful scenery to see all those carriages decorated with red, parading through the streets with their dowry and all of the gifts.

If it was a month ago, Xing would have mocked them for being stupid for being happy to be one of the many women willing to be trapped in a cage to compete for the attention of one single man, fighting with other women. But now her only thoughts were for her to not end up in there.

Rijun who tactfully left her alone for a week to let her compose herself after the ordeal during the tournament, joined her for tea that evening and Shengli was with her too.
