Chapter 7: Scumbag
The man remained silent, his posture lazy as he rested his chin on his hand. The flickering firelight from the fireplace cast a mottled glow on his face, making it impossible to discern his features. However, his hands were clearly defined, with agile movements and sparkling under the firelight, as if he could hold the entire world in his grasp.
Casually switching hands, he leaned on the armrest of the wooden couch and, amidst the swirling tea smoke, glanced outside through the hazy mist.
"Sneeze!" Meikai Shao, who had entered the boudoir, sneezed heavily, rubbing her nose and lying down to rest and recuperate.
Her injuries were not light, a clear indication of the mistreatment she had suffered at the hands of the Meifu.
Regardless, she resolved to first focus on recuperating her body.
After making up her mind, Meikai Shao closed her eyes, intending to rest for a few days.
But fate had other plans, as she had only rested for one night when there was a loud knocking on the door the next morning!
The person who entered turned out to be the head of the Meifu—Mei Qianfeng!
Meikai Shao subtly furrowed her brows. In her memory, her father had always been indifferent to her well-being, rarely even sparing her a glance, let alone visiting her room.
In fact, Mei Qianfeng did not have the blood of the Mei family running through his veins; he was merely an apprentice taken in by the Mei family in the past. With his handsome appearance and martial arts skills, he quickly established himself in the capital, secretly admired by many young ladies from influential families. Even Mei Lian, the only daughter of the Mei family, had developed feelings for him.
Mei Qianfeng had also sworn to never let Mei Lian down in this lifetime. When the elderly Mei Xuan married off his daughter to him, little did he know that after the old master's death, Mei Qianfeng would marry Su Yanyan. Not only that, Su Yanyan also brought two children with her, who are now Mei Taiyan and Mei Ao. It turned out that Mei Qianfeng had already had a lover outside.
Mei Lian, with her strong-willed nature, refused to accept this. However, by then, Mei Qianfeng had already gained control of the entire Mei family, not only disregarding Mei Lian but also allowing her to be framed and killed!
It was because of Mei Qianfeng's attitude that the people of the Mei family dared to mistreat her so recklessly!
This scumbag!
Meikai Shao clenched her fists tightly, her eyes filled with mist. She vividly remembered the scene where Mei Lian had shielded her and was beaten to death, saying to her, "Kaishao, don't be afraid, mother doesn't care, you must live well..."
However, even such a great mother could not change the current situation of the Mei family.
The real Meikai Shao was already dead.
But the reborn Meikai Shao would reclaim everything that belonged to her!
Her title as the Ghost of Arms was not given in vain!
Just wait, she would make those who had mistreated her and her mother cry in rhythm!
...
"General Mei, this is your second young lady." The speaker was a man beside Mei Qianfeng, dressed in luxurious attire, clean-shaven, and speaking in a soft voice.
Mei Qianfeng showed some respect to the man, "I apologize for my daughter's strong-willed nature. As for her entering the palace..."
The man did not respond, instead, his sharp eyes scrutinized Meikai Shao up and down.
The more the eunuch looked, the more he smiled, then turned to Mei Qianfeng and said in a low, muffled voice, "General, you are a wise man, and these words should not come from us. You have two spots available, although Miss Taiyan is outstanding, she is somewhat alone, and... this second young lady is specifically requested by the palace. You should carefully consider the implications of this..."
