Cold-faced Empress

After taking a couple of steps while leaning against the wall, Fu Siying felt increasingly embarrassed, unable to shake off her awkwardness and shame. She even thought, somewhat recklessly, "So what if I lose face? At least I can teach him a lesson; it's worth it!"

She bit him hard enough that she almost bit through his lip.

Hmph, he'll get what's coming to him.

Upon returning to the Fu residence, she happened to see Madam Zhao, the third wife of the Fu family, leaving. Madam Zhao smiled at Fu Siying without saying much, seemingly relieved that Fu Siying wasn't home when she arrived, so she didn't have to speak with her.

Watching the family carriage disappear into the distance, Fu Siying asked her mother, "Mother, what brings Third Aunt here?"

"Oh, the Ghost Festival is just around the corner. Your third aunt came to say that we'll go back to our hometown to pay respects to our ancestors tomorrow."

Fu Siying frowned: "Isn't our family originally from the capital city?"

She had never followed her family in ancestral worship before, but she remembered that her family had always worshipped their ancestors in the capital city. Why was she suddenly talking about returning to her hometown?

“No, our family moved here because of the war. The whole family moved with us, so we haven’t been able to return to our ancestral home for ancestral worship,” Madam Li smiled. “The old lady’s idea is that things have been quite unsettled in the family lately, so it would be better to go back to our ancestral home to pay our respects and ask for the blessings of our ancestors.”

Fu Siying chuckled dismissively, "It's only when things aren't going well at home that we think of our ancestors."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Madam Li gestured for her to shut up. "What did you go out of the manor to just now?"

Fu Siying was taken aback, her expression instantly turning sour. She casually muttered, "He's gone to bite someone," and hurriedly went inside.

Li was completely confused: "Huh? Biting people? You're not a dog, are you?"

"..."

The Fu family settled down early tonight because they were going back to their ancestral home with their relatives tomorrow.

"The humidity in Pingcheng, Jiangnan is very high, so I'll bring you a few more sets of clothes," Qingyin said considerately.

Fu Siying wholeheartedly agreed with this approach: "Our family really does things on a whim. We probably don't even know anyone in Pingcheng. We can only rely on the local officials to treat us well because of my father's reputation. It's ridiculous that they only came to tell my parents at the last minute."

Leaving the capital is for the best; she was terrified of Mo Canglan today. Since he's acting this way, it's best for her to leave and avoid his anger, letting him calm down on his own!

With a "whoosh," the candle was blown out, and Miss Fu's boudoir fell into tranquility as she drifted off to sleep.

Little did they know the terrifying and heart-stopping scene unfolding in the boudoir of Miss Xia!

Amid Xia Suxi's sorrowful cries and apologies, the man in black took the written agreement and leaped away.

The maid of the Xia family came to her senses after a long time. She heard crying coming from the young lady's room and went to check. She saw her young lady kneeling on the ground, crying uncontrollably.

"Young Miss, what's wrong with you!"

"N-nothing..." Xia Suxi cried uncontrollably, still trying to lie and cover it up, "It was just a nightmare."

……

Fu Siying was also having nightmares.

But it wasn't a nightmare about herself, but a nightmare about someone else. And that someone else was none other than Mo Canglan!

In her dream, she was a mighty and wise... dog. She saw through Mo Canglan's human skin to reveal a ferocious wolf. So, acting on behalf of heaven, she was fearless and bravely pounced on Mo Canglan to confront and tear him apart.

It's a wolf that specifically targets Mo Canglan!

Bite him until his mouth bleeds!

She was truly enjoying herself. Completely relaxed and happy. She even howled like a wolf in front of him, laughing at him. A defeated opponent!

His ferocious wolf stared at her with gleaming green eyes, which was terrifying.

Just as she let out another wolf howl, wanting to disdainfully ask him what kind of expression that was, and whether he wanted to retaliate, suddenly, the world spun around her!

A gust of wind woke Fu Siying up.

She opened her eyes in a daze and was shocked to see the night sky filled with countless stars.

Huh? When did you start being able to see directly into the sky from her bedroom?

No, wait, she seems to be flying in the night sky?!

"what!"

Fu Siying finally realized that she was being carried and running and jumping, and she exclaimed in surprise.

A voice beside her asked, "Miss Fu, you're awake?"

Fu Siying turned her head and saw a masked person next to her. The person was slender and looked familiar.
