Chapter 10: 010: The Woman Who Fell From the Sky [10]

After finishing her meal, Feng Liyue comfortably rubbed her full belly, feeling extremely satisfied.

Han Mohen thought this girl really had no ambition; she was bought over by a single meal.

Rong Xiao brought people in to clear the dishes, then bowed slightly to Han Mohen. "Your Highness, are you still going to the company?"

"Mn, I'll go this afternoon." As he spoke, he looked over Feng Liyue's attire and asked, "Where are the clothes prepared for her?"

"They are in the wardrobe in Miss Feng's bedroom."

"Why haven't you changed her into them?"

"Miss Feng insisted on wearing her own clothes."

Han Mohen frowned almost imperceptibly.

Hearing them talk about her clothes, Feng Liyue spoke up: "Don't blame Sister Rong. It's just that those clothes of yours are too... too revealing. I'd better stick to my own."

"Revealing?" Han Mohen countered.

Rong Xiao also looked puzzled. Those clothes were all the latest styles of the year. Considering this was a woman brought back by His Highness, she was very precious, so they didn't even dare to prepare anything slightly unconventional. And she called this revealing?

"If you don't believe me, go look for yourself."

Han Mohen followed Feng Liyue to the third-floor bedroom and opened the closet. The variety of colorful clothes dazzled Feng Liyue's eyes.

Feng Liyue thought to herself, it seems they aren't just revealing, they're gaudy too.

Feng Liyue took out a sleeveless, knee-length dress and held it up against herself. "Look at this. My arms and legs are all exposed. It's indecent! If I went out wearing this, people would chase me down and beat me!"

Han Mohen: "..."

Rong Xiao: "..."

Is this girl from the countryside...

Han Mohen's patience was surprisingly good today. He said, "Where we are, the clothes you are wearing are the ones that are indecent. These on your arms and in the closet are what's normal."

Hearing this, Rong Xiao immediately wore an expression of disbelief, tilting her head to look at the man in front of her. Is this really her master? Someone must be impersonating him!

Feng Liyue also widened her eyes in surprise. "Is that true?"

Han Mohen continued to bluff without changing his expression. "Of course. Look, does anyone here dress like you?"

Feng Liyue looked at Rong Xiao behind her. Bound by her master's presence, Rong Xiao could only nod against her conscience, "That is correct."

Feng Liyue suddenly realized. No wonder when Rong Xiao brought her downstairs earlier, those people were talking about her behind her back. So it was because of these clothes.

Feng Liyue glanced at her own clothes, then compared them to the dress in her hand, feeling very awkward.

"I still feel... alright, then. You two go out for a moment, I'll change." Feng Liyue finally compromised. When in Rome, do as the Romans do; if their customs here are different, then she would just follow them.

"Let Rong Xiao teach you," Han Mohen said.

Feng Liyue thought about it. The styles of the clothes here were very strange; it would be better to have someone teach her than to fumble around on her own, so she nodded.

Han Mohen turned and walked out, closing the door behind him. Feng Liyue smiled at Rong Xiao. "Sorry to trouble you, Sister Rong."

"Miss Feng is too kind, it's no trouble at all."

Rong Xiao carefully taught her how to put them on. Feng Liyue was very clever and understood as soon as it was explained, making it easy for Rong Xiao to teach. However, she remained puzzled in her heart: where was this girl from? Why was she wearing ancient costumes? Why didn't she even know how to put on their clothes? And most importantly, the way His Highness treated her was different.

She had never known that her master could be so... capable of telling barefaced lies without changing his expression.

But she knew that while her master appeared indifferent and cold on the surface, he was definitely a black-bellied and ruthless person. Seeing Miss Feng fall into his hands, she could already foresee the miserable days that awaited her.
