Chapter 246: Chapter 246 He’s Just Not Articulate

Xiang Rongrong entered with a familiar figure.

Both of them saw Xiang Ying and Jie Chen and bowed in greeting.

“Elder Sister~”

“I pay my respects to the Vice General,” Li Fengcheng said.

Jie Chen’s dark eyes showed a hint of surprise: “How co you are here?”

“I…” Li Fengcheng glanced towards Xiang Rongrong.

Xiang Rongrong shyly said to Xiang Ying: “Elder Sister, we have mutual affection and would like to ask you to bear witness.”

Xiang Ying raised her eyebrows, as her phoenix eyes looked on with scrutiny.

Li Fengcheng t her gaze and was the first to bow his head: “Please, Elder Princess, grant us your blessing.”

Xiang Ying asked softly with her red lips: “When did this happen? How co I never noticed before that you liked Rongrong?”

Li Fengcheng lowered his head to explain: “Rongrong is candid and kind-hearted. I didn’t have the chance to get to know her before. Perhaps it’s fate that lately, I have co to understand her temperant, and my affection for her has beco uncontrollable.”

“If the Elder Princess does not approve, I will not insist, but I will protect Rongrong in my own way.”

Xiang Ying cut to the chase: “Alright, I do not approve. You may leave.”

Xiang Rongrong was anxious: “Elder Sister!”

She looked at Li Fengcheng: “You go out first…”

Just in ti, Jie Chen stood up and said to Li Fengcheng: “Co with , and explain what is going on.”

After the two of them left, Xiang Rongrong then sat next to Xiang Ying, clasping her arms around hers in an affectionate manner.

They had beco close like true sisters; Xiang Rongrong always listened wholeheartedly to Xiang Ying and was also very clever, so Xiang Ying always took extra care of her.

At this mont, Xiang Rongrong’s pure and elegant face showed a sweet smile.

“Elder Sister, Fengcheng is really good to .”

“What’s so good about him? Before I even made a statent, he gave up, claiming he would take care of you in his own way, which clearly shows he lacks responsibility.”

Xiang Ying’s slender hand smoothed her dress and sat back against the couch. Her long black hair fell along her neck, her exquisite features carrying a subtle look in her eyes.

However, Xiang Rongrong was full of praise for Li Fengcheng.

“Elder Sister, you don’t understand. Fengcheng is just like that. It took several days of persuasion for him to co with ; he’s too reserved and worried that he’s not worthy of .”

Xiang Ying snapped at her forehead imdiately.

“Ow!” Xiang Rongrong covered her head, “Elder Sister, why did you hit ?”

Xiang Ying’s dark phoenix eyes narrowed: “Rongrong, you have to understand, we are only taking advantage of the situation for now. But when we get to Shangjing City of Nanyue, he is a soldier, and you are a prisoner! Do you really think he believes he’s not worthy of you?”

“I think his approach to you is solely because there’s sothing to gain.”

Xiang Rongrong massaged her forehead, looking aggrieved.

“My influence is insignificant; I just follow you around. What could he possibly want from ? Does he want to help him score so points?”

Xiang Ying glared over, and Xiang Rongrong imdiately added: “I wouldn’t mix personal feelings with duty anyway!”

Seeing Xiang Ying’s displeased look, Xiang Rongrong felt especially sad.

She muttered from the side: “When you were locked in the grain store, because I was going to bring you food, Xiang Qianqian discovered it and ordered to be whipped fifteen tis.”

“Thankfully, the Crown Prince helped block twenty lashes, otherwise, I would have been gone. I couldn’t even stand up after being whipped.”

“It was Fengcheng who secretly took the dicated ointnt from the accompanying troops and saved his own rations to feed . He kept company, talking to , which made both my body and heart feel a bit better.”

“Elder sister, I truly like him… My mother concubine hanged herself with the Empress when the city fell, and throughout this wandering journey, I’ve longed to be loved by soone. Seeing you and the Vice General together, I feel envious.”

Xiang Ying looked at her seriously: “Rongrong, aren’t you afraid that he is deceiving your feelings?”

Xiang Rongrong blinked: “When we are together, the feelings are mutual, there is no deception involved. I just don’t want to miss out on the person I like.”

“Moreover, Fengcheng said that once we return to Shangjing City, he will find a way to help escape my predicant. We can buy a small house in the city and live a good life.”

The more she spoke, the more her eyes brimd with hope.

Xiang Ying knew that it was probably impossible to stop her.

After a long silence, she spoke calmly, “Call him in. I have a few words to say to him.”

“Okay!” Xiang Rongrong stood up joyfully, lifting her skirt as she hurried out.

Watching her open the door, calling out for Fengcheng in her coy manner, she looked just like a little girl experiencing her first awakening of love.

If this were the old Xizhou, and she was still the Seventh Princess, then it wouldn’t matter who she liked.

But now, they were exiled criminals, princesses of a defeated country.

The environnt and conditions that Xiang Ying had created were slowly making Xiang Rongrong forget how cruel the world truly is.

Handing over her heart, she might end up being utterly trampled by others.

Li Fengcheng ca in quickly, with Jie Chen following behind him, his face stern.

Looking at Li Fengcheng’s expression, it was likely that he had been chided by Jie Chen.

“Elder Princess,” Li Fengcheng bowed his head and paid his respects, “I—I recognize my mistake; I should not have enticed the Seventh Princess.”

Xiang Rongrong hurriedly hugged his arm: “Fengcheng, don’t worry, my elder sister has already accepted our relationship.”

Li Fengcheng looked up at Xiang Ying with so surprise but found himself staring into a pair of pitch-black, profound phoenix eyes.

His heart skipped a beat, and he bowed his head again.

“Li Fengcheng, if you truly like Rongrong, as her sister, I am happy to see her cared for and cherished.”

“However, can you guarantee that Rongrong will not suffer again following you? Once you enter Shangjing, can you protect her?”

Li Fengcheng nodded firmly: “I will protect her with my life; from now on, Rongrong’s life will be even more important than my own!”

Xiang Rongrong absolutely adored this kind of talk; hearing these words, the sweetness in her eyes almost spilled over.

“Fengcheng…” she leaned gently against his chest, “with your words, I am content.”

Xiang Ying barely restrained herself from rolling her eyes.

Although Xiang Rongrong wasn’t her biological sister, she was still sowhat of a relative.

Now, she was the original host, accepting the address of elder sister from Xiang Rongrong, who behaved quite obediently.

Xiang Ying could not sit idly by.

She looked at Li Fengcheng: “I never trust a man’s verbal promises; I need you to give sothing, or your most precious possession, to prove your sincerity.”

Li Fengcheng was startled, sowhat embarrassed: “I—”

Before he could finish, Jie Chen said: “Don’t you have a family treasure that your mother left you? Bring it out.”

Li Fengcheng paused, then nodded: “Alright, I will go fetch it now.”

Xiang Rongrong imdiately wanted to follow excitedly, but Xiang Ying said coldly: “Rongrong, sit down and wait. It’s snowing outside, freezing cold, you shouldn’t run out there.”

Li Fengcheng went along with her words: “Rongrong, the Elder Princess is right, wait for here.”

He dashed into the night, and Xiang Rongrong went to the door, watching his retreating figure until she reluctantly turned around after a while.

“Elder sister, I told you, Fengcheng is truly a good man; he’s just not good with words and expressing himself.”
