At the very least, among so many submissive women, she was the only one who wasn’t submissive.
She also was the only one who stayed by his side without having been touched.
Furthermore, she was the only one he felt it would be a pity to simply let die.
Ye Ying had always pretended not to hear the conversation between them until she had a chance to return to Chun Ci.
It was then she anxiously asked, "Today I accidentally overheard Young Master saying some people knew there was a favored woman in his room, thinking she was his beloved, and they killed her."
"So, you’re scared?" Chun Ci asked with a smile that betrayed no emotion.
"Don’t be afraid, those people won’t kill you."
"Why?" Ye Ying was puzzled.
"Because they were sent by me."
Ye Ying gasped, "Sent by you?"
"Of course, isn’t the woman’s body still not buried?"
"Yes, I saw it; it lies on the imperial concubine’s couch. The first time I knew it, I was almost scared to death. A corpse in the room, I don’t know what Young Master was thinking."
"In fact, he just wanted you to see it. If he didn’t want you to know about her existence, you wouldn’t have seen it. The woman used to sleep there also while she was alive; you just didn’t know. Young Master set up a barrier."
Ye Ying thought about this and suddenly her face turned both red and white, "So you mean, when I was in bed with Young Master..."
"Surely everything was seen and heard."
Ye Ying, overwhelmed with curiosity, "Who exactly was that woman to Young Master? Why did he keep her by his side?"
"Exactly because I couldn’t figure out her relationship with Young Master, I had her killed. Logically speaking, such an inconspicuous woman wouldn’t be very attractive, but to keep her by his side, it couldn’t be for nothing," Chun Ci looked up, "You just stay by Young Master’s side as I told you, and follow my arrangements."
Ye Ying had a feeling that once this woman got a hold of her, she would never be able to break free.
Would she also have me killed in the future?
With this thought, she actually voiced her concern.
"You wouldn’t kill me, would you?"
"As long as you’re obedient, why would I want to kill you? Just live your life as you should. How have the matchmaking sessions been going lately?"
Ye Ying replied, "I haven’t found anyone I like; almost every matchmaker likes me, but there is no one I like."
"What type do you like?"
"I..." She suppressed her own thoughts, "The person I like is married, in his eyes I am just as dirt, unwilling to even glance at me more than once."
Now, she had a new crush, Young Master.
However, she dared not tell Chun Ci.
Even being dull, she could see Chun Ci had a much stronger desire to control Young Master.
"With so many men, take your time to choose. Being beautiful is a woman’s biggest advantage," Chun Ci gave a slight smile.
"Now every day I have to look in the mirror so many times, it really is too beautiful. I’m still somewhat dazed, is this really my face?"
"If not yours, whose would it be? It’s always yours."
Ye Ying smiled contentedly.
For her, it seemed quite wonderful now, being able to sleep with the man she liked and also possessing a beautiful face; truly killing two birds with one stone. Check latest chapters at NoveIꜰire.net
