Chapter 669 - Another Two-Hundred-and-Fifty-Pound Woman III
She would never leave Feng Ruqing’s side because of what she had said.
“You cultivate here. I’ll go to Paramount.”
Feng Ruqing smiled happily and patted Hong Yu’s head. Then, she turned and walked out of the manor.
The palace maids stared at Hong Yu jealously. They bit the handkerchiefs in their hands hard.
They had always felt that Young Lady favored Guardian Hong Yu.
‘Is it because of the lack of freckles on our faces?
‘That must be it!’
The palace maids seemed determined.
Surely, they were almost kicked out of the princess’s manor when Feng Ruqing returned and saw what they did.

“An Cui, did you say that Nan Xian lives here?”
There was a plump body in the imperial city of Liu Yun Kingdom. She was as fat as a giant mountain. She held a pig’s feet with one hand while holding a chicken drumstick in another. Her mouth was oily from all the food that she ate. But, her eyes were bright with a soft glow.
“The people from the Mu family said that Nan Xian likes me. So, he came to ask for my hand in marriage. Is that true?”
She would never believe that someone would like her in this world up until now.
‘He’s such a perfect person!
‘It’s fine even if I have to marry him as long as I can find someone who likes me.’
An Cui lowered her eyes. There was disdain in her eyes but she did not show it on her gentle face.
“Cousin, surely it’s true. The Mu family told us that it’s Young Master Nan Xian who has proposed to marry you. You don’t believe us. But, don’t you believe what the Mu family has said?” An Cui laughed gently. Her voice was so soft and gentle that it was irresistible to any man in the world.
‘I’ll never bring this idiot to this awful place if not for having the chance of meeting Young Master Nan Xian!
‘The Mu family promised me that I’ll be given a place as his concubine if I could let this Gu Yiyi——idiot marry Nan Xian.
‘Who is unwilling to marry Young Master Nan Xian in Shen Yue Manor? Everybody wants to marry him. He’s our dream lover. Even if I were to become his concubine, it’s much better than becoming a wife to any other young master!’
“I’ll marry him if that’s the case.”
There is a popular saying in this world.
If marrying the one you loved is difficult, then you should accept the one who loves you.
‘Moreover, Nan Xian is such a gentleman. No woman can resist him!
‘That’s right! He’s so gentle!’
All of the women who had not met Nan Xian assumed that he was gentle and nice because of the news spread by the Mu family.
Tang Yin thought the same and now Gu Yiyi was thinking the same way too.
An Cui seemed evil at that moment.
‘It seems that Gu Yiyi has accepted Nan Xian. It’s impossible that Nan Xian will disobey the young manor master from the Mu family given that they have promised them.
‘So, I don’t have to accompany her anymore!
‘I just want to meet Nan Xian this time. How can I meet him privately if I bring Gu Yiyi along?’
“Be careful!” An Cui’s hand fell on Gu Yiyi’s back all of a sudden as she pushed Gu Yiyi. Then, she grabbed onto Gu Yiyi’s arm immediately and pulled her up as hard as she could so that, Gu Yiyi did not fall.
But, Gu Yiyi lost the chicken drumstick in her hand. It fell onto a young girl’s clothes.
“Are you crazy?”
Gu Yiyi was infuriated. She pulled her hand away vigorously.
All of a sudden, An Cui screamed and fell backward. She was so frightened that her face paled. She fell to the ground.
“Cousin?” An Cui cried sadly. It looked like she was wrong. “I wanted to save you just now. Why did you push me instead?”
