The afterglow of the setting sun slowly settled behind Shuangshuang, casting her figure as lonely and helpless. The moment she stepped into the Xuan Prince's Mansion again, countless jeering gazes almost overwhelmed her.
Yes, she had walked out of the mansion in a dignified manner, but within a day, she hung her head and returned to the mansion again, enduring the ridicule of the world.
Shuangshuang, you were once a top-notch undercover agent, a secret weapon of the government, and had a successful career in the underworld. But in ancient times, you've fallen to such a state, having to swallow your anger and endure others' humiliation!
With a bitter smile, she finally made her way to the main hall amidst those piercing gazes.
No! Shuangshuang, this is not you! Don't forget that a top-notch undercover agent is not an empty title, and don't forget your mantra.
It's better to control others than to be controlled by others.
Shuangshuang, you can't be passive!
"You have the face to come back?" Xiao Yunxuan glanced sideways at the figure approaching, and a sneer immediately appeared on his handsome face.
He knew this woman would come back. She had done so many things with ulterior motives, just to attract his attention.
Shuangshuang stopped, looked at Xiao Yunxuan, her face showing no expression, still as cold as ever.
"How are you going to beg this prince to return this divorce letter to you?" His fingertips tapped rhythmically on the divorce letter on the table. His eyes narrowed, and a dangerous aura seemed to approach her.
She raised her eyebrows, looking like she was at his mercy.
If he wanted to hit her, so be it. At worst, she'd have to watch another restricted live broadcast! There was no way around it; she was an undercover agent enduring humiliation to survive.
Seeing that Shuangshuang didn't move, Xiao Yunxuan's smile became more wanton, "As soon as you married into the mansion, you acted so shamelessly, disregarded women's virtues, and even wanted to divorce your husband and have an affair. Then this prince wants to know, how low can you go? How about today, you perform. If you perform well, this prince will return the divorce letter to you."
Performance? Shuangshuang was shocked, clearly not understanding the connection between his so-called "low" and the performance.
"Don't understand? Do you remember what you learned in this prince's room last night? Today, you can perform well. And this prince also thinks you're looking forward to a chance to show yourself."
Shuangshuang sneered, then glanced at the servants standing with their heads bowed in the room.
He wanted her to perform a passionate scene in front of the servants.
Her knuckles creaked in her sleeves. Shuangshuang gritted her teeth, reached out, quickly took off her outer garment, and threw it on the ground.
Xiao Yunxuan, if you make me embarrassed, I won't let you off easy.
Who in the capital doesn't know that Shuangshuang is from your Xuan Prince's Mansion! If this gets out, I'm afraid it's not me, Shuangshuang, who will be disgraced, but you, Xiao Yunxuan.
Thinking of this, she quickly reached out to undo her second piece of clothing.
She was gambling! Gambling that he would stop her. Because last night in the sedan chair, although he humiliated her, he didn't force her inside, and when he got out of the sedan, he even tidied his clothes. This showed that Xiao Yunxuan cared about his reputation.
When the second piece of clothing was about to come off, Xiao Yunxuan really rushed up, raised his hand, and slapped Shuangshuang hard, then panted and roared, "You have no shame! You really can do such despicable things."
The broken porcelain pieces on the ground under her hurt terribly, and the burning slap on her face almost knocked her out. She lay on the ground for a long time before propping herself up with her hands to get up.
As soon as her hand touched the ground, an exquisite boot cruelly stepped on the back of her hand. Immediately, the sharp fragments stabbed into her palm, and red liquid oozed out, staining the ground.
Um. She groaned in pain, looking up directly at Xiao Yunxuan, her eyes showing no fear.
Xiao Yunxuan, one day, I will return all this humiliation to you a hundredfold!
He withdrew his foot, looked away from her bloodied hand, and Xiao Yunxuan ordered coldly, "Take this bitch to the laundry room. She is not allowed to sleep until all the clothes are washed!" With that, he stepped out of the door. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned back and ordered, "Don't let her eat until I come back!"
Until he comes back? Shuangshuang stood up, looked at his distant back, and sneered coldly.
It seemed that she had to go to Hualou today too.
After arranging everything in the mansion, Shuangshuang disguised herself, flipped over the high wall of the Xuan Prince's Mansion, and walked in the direction Xiangming had pointed out.
The capital at night was bustling with lights, and the number of people on the street didn't decrease at all. To prevent being recognised, she had to let her hair down and deliberately smudge her face to cover those ferocious scars.
"Hurry up! Hurry up! We'll be late if we don't hurry." A sharp voice suddenly sounded in her ear. Then a luxurious sedan chair quickly passed by on the main road, bringing a strong gust of wind that swept over Shuangshuang.
Watching the few sedan bearers moving lightly on their tiptoes, Shuangshuang was suddenly shocked! Could this be the legendary lightness skill of walking on water?
Before she could recover, several luxurious carriages galloped past her, all heading in the same direction. Shuangshuang looked up and indeed saw a few golden characters, which were particularly eye-catching in the neon lights — Hualou.
However, she couldn't get in at all. Not to mention the thugs guarding the door, checking invitations, she couldn't even squeeze through the crowd, craning their necks at the door.
Leaning against the dark, Shuangshuang's sharp eyes scanned everything around, and finally her gaze fell on a sedan chair that quietly turned into the back alley. Intuition told her that this sedan chair should be from Hualou. She quickly followed and indeed saw a woman in a blue gauze, gorgeous and radiant, twisting her slender waist and walking out.
When she reached the door, the woman suddenly stopped. Shuangshuang flashed and hid in the dark. At the moment the side door closed, Shuangshuang climbed over the back wall using a few bamboo poles at the corner, and just as she landed, a sharp dagger was pressed against her waist.
"Who are you?" A woman's voice came from behind.
"Miss, you must have misunderstood." Shuangshuang smiled, slowly reaching for her waist. Taking advantage of the woman's inattention, she quickly grabbed the woman's hand and, with a little force, knocked the dagger out of her hand.
There were very few people who could hurt her. Before becoming an undercover agent, no man in the police station was her match.
"Uh," the woman bent down in pain, unwilling to be caught by Shuangshuang like this. She raised her foot and kicked at Shuangshuang, but Shuangshuang kicked back, and she fell heavily backwards, her head hitting a stone, and fainted immediately.
Seeing no one around, Shuangshuang quickly dragged the woman into the dark and quickly exchanged clothes with her.
After tearing off the only extra piece of gauze in front to use as a veil on her face, Shuangshuang couldn't help but smile bittily.
What kind of clothes were these? The gauze clothes, thin as cicada wings, and soft, completely showing off the woman's curves. Under the faintly visible chest was a slender waist, with tinkling silver bells hanging around it. The pants below stopped tightly at the ankles, revealing her fair bare feet — this was completely revealing clothing.
Taking a deep breath, Shuangshuang walked through the yard and came to the inner hall. From a distance, she saw several women in revealing clothes jumping past, and faintly heard their excited discussion, "The Seventh Prince came!"
"Yes, he's the most handsome man in the capital."
"Hey, do you know that woman he divorced? I heard she's as ugly as a frog in the field. Hahaha..." After saying that, laughter came between them.
