Chapter 986: Chapter 986 Princess Fuyun Notices Something is Wrong (3)

"Yanyan, if you want to know about that boy’s past life, just ask me. There’s no need to wait for him to wake up." In the Space, Xue tuanzi began to chatter incessantly, having been eager to talk for a while, but was directly blocked by Mo Yan.

Mo Yan rubbed his forehead and waved his hand, "Even if you tell me, it won’t relieve Cui Pingan of his suffering, so what’s the point?"

"Who says I can’t?" Xue tuanzi retorted angrily, "Couldn’t I just enter his dreams and erase the memories of his past life?"

Mo Yan rolled his eyes, nearly calling Xue tuanzi foolish outright, "Making him forget his past life and then, oblivious, following the same path to brew a tragedy that leads him into an irreparable misery, to painfully live out the rest of his life?"

At that, Xue tuanzi faltered and after a long while finally stammered, "Well, it might not necessarily be like what you said, right? With his current plight, would Old Lady Cui still force him to do things against his will?"

Mo Yan shook his head, "Perhaps she would, perhaps she wouldn’t, who knows! In any case, you cannot use the Dream Entering Technique on Cui Pingan. If he’s suffering now, who can say it’s not the bitter fruit of his own making? If that’s the case, let it be God’s punishment for him. If he is reborn and still doesn’t learn his lesson, doesn’t know how to cherish, then such a person doesn’t deserve happiness."

Upon hearing this, Xue tuanzi was completely at a loss for words, yet couldn’t deny the truth in its master’s words. If that guy had taken such a measure in his past life, would there have been such a wretched aftermath? In the end, it was still its own inefficacy!

At that moment, nobody knew that in Cui Pingan’s yard, an inconspicuous maid hurried with her head lowered, crossing most of the Cui Mansion, through a Small Moon Gate, and arrived at another large courtyard separated by a wall from the Cui Mansion.

Compared to the understated restraint of the Cui Mansion, this courtyard was adorned with ornately carved beams and painted rafters, with high-reaching eaves, looking extravagant and grand, starkly different from the style of the Cui Mansion. If it weren’t connected to the Cui Mansion, no one would believe that this courtyard was a part of the Cui family property.

However, strictly speaking, this courtyard did not belong to the Cui family, for it was commissioned by Emperor Huian, who ordered the Ministry of Works to build it, and the inhabitant was none other than Princess Fuyun, whom Old Lady Cui profoundly dreaded.

In Great Chu, when a princess turned fifteen and reached adulthood, she would usually receive a princess residence gifted by the emperor. A favored princess would have her residence newly built by the Ministry of Works according to her wishes; a less favored one had to move into the residence of a deceased Senior Princess or Senior Grand Princess repossessed by the Court, only to live there with the Prince Consort after marriage.

After marrying Cui Pingan’s father, Old Master Cui San, Princess Fuyun was supposed to move into the princess residence with him. However, she declined the residence that Emperor Huian had ordered for her and insisted on living in the Cui Mansion after her marriage.

Emperor Huian, who was particularly fond of his youngest sister, fearing that Princess Fuyun wouldn’t be comfortable, commanded the Ministry of Works to build a courtyard next to the Cui Mansion that was just as spacious and luxurious as a princess residence. He then opened up a passage through the wall shared with the Cui Mansion. Hence, though this grand residence didn’t carry the plaque of a princess residence, everyone in the capital knew that it was a true princess residence, and the Cui family, from top to bottom, referred to it as such.

This could be seen as a sign of respect for Princess Fuyun but could also be seen as not considering Princess Fuyun part of the Cui family. Otherwise, why would Princess Fuyun have forsaken her original princess residence to live with the Cui family?

After the servant of the Princess Residence announced her through various layers, the little maid finally met Princess Fuyun. But to say she met, in truth, she didn’t even dare to lift her head. Having been to the Princess Residence many times, she had never seen what Princess Fuyun truly looked like, only knowing she was an undeniable beauty, yet not favored by Old Master Cui San.
