Avenge For Love novel Chapter 73

"Not in a million years." Hu Jiayi flat out refused to back away. He made his final decision to protect her. With the war drawing near, her life was in danger. How could he just sit back and let her get injured?

Although he didn't know the exact details, the war would be devastating to many, not just just the human realm. From what he knew, the same war happened four hundred years ago, causing millions of humans to die and even immortals to perish in the war.

"You-"

"Eldest Miss...." Wu Xingxie heard Yuyan's sweet voice and looked at the direction where she sat.

"What is it?" Her tone was a 180 degrees from when she spoke to Hu Jiayi earlier.

"I think this man is right." She concurred to what Hu Jiayi had stated. Although Yuyan wanted to help her Eldest Miss fulfill her revenge, in the end, all they would gain was the enjoyment of seeing someone else suffer. Was it really worth it?

"It's not everyone in the clan who hates you. Think about the young children from the other branches of the family. They have nothing to do with what the adults have done."

"I know that. I know they're innocent people. I have no intentions of getting them involved. The revenge is between me, Wu Dingxiang and Wu Jishi! As for his allies, I have no qualms sacrificing them since they're already corrupt. If the Wu clan falls, blame it on their head for being a treacherous man. Other than that, I have no concern about them since they never cared about us anyways." Wu Xingxie maintained her purpose. She had gone too far to stop halfway.

"That is all. Yuyan, escort Hu Jiayi out."

Wu Xingxie ordered emotionless as she stood up, glanced down at him for a few seconds before returning to her room.

Yuyan watched her figure disappear into the room before turning to the tall man.

Good thing Wei, Wu Xuan and Sizheng were out otherwise Yuyan didn't want to imagine what would have happened. Still, she felt a bit disappointed the way her Eldest Miss treated the man for he seemed to truly care about her.

A perfect word to describe her actions and words were cold blooded.

Two days passed since Hu Jiayi revealed what happened after she time traveled back this timeline. Wu Xingxie didn't do much as she asked Yuyan to help her get dressed up.

She was to meet General Tang about their upcoming wedding day. Wu Xingxie was quite bummed out that Wei hadn't talked to her since the day she told him and the others about the marriage.

Since he wants to give me the silent treatment then I'll do the same to him. He's just a guard anyways. What's so good about him? He and his friend are none of my concern.

Wu Xingxie thought to herself. "His friend" being Hu Jiayi. She occupied herself by thinking about her next plans to frame Wu Dingxiang's next ally, the Minister of Rites.

The plan wouldn't be put into effect until after the wedding so she had time to gather more dirt on the man. One side of her lips curled into a ridiculing smile as she imagined the look on Wu Dingxiang's face once he lost another ally.

"Madam, do I have to dress up? I mean, it's just a discussion." Tang Yanan asked as he looked at himself. He shaved his growing beard, making him appear fresh and more his age.

Wu Xingxie didn't say anything but nodded, completely nonchalant about it. General Tang remained aloof but verbally stated that he had plans with his men the next day.

"That can wait later. What's more important at the moment, your betrothed or your soldiers who you've known and seen for years?" Madam Gu really wanted them to interact in hopes to stir up feelings between the two.

Based on her calculations, the two made a good pair. Wu Xingxie's birthdate was compatible with Tang Yanan's birthdate. Out of boredom, she compared Wu Xingxie's birthdate to her grand nephew but it showed that their compatibility rate was very bad.

"You guys need bonding time. Tomorrow, I want the capital to be talking about Miss Xingxie and Yanan." Madam Gu declared with her finger pointed out.

Wu Xingxie didn't think much about the festival but it was nice since she had never experienced it before. Perhaps, she could find the person in her dream.

The Mid-Autumn Festival was held on the 5th day of the 8th month based on the lunar calendar.

Many people from all over other territories come to celebrate it as it is so popular. It was time for family gathering, moon gazing, releasing lanterns and eating moon cakes.

Wu Xingxie woke up at 5 in the morning as she wanted to make moon cakes with Yuyan.

"Eldest Miss, you don't have to. Let me do it..." Yuyan insisted that she do the work but Wu Xingxie ignored her words as she mixed the batter.
