Chapter 14 : Eat to Make Amends

• Shangguan Suer was groomed by the Shangguan family to marry into the palace. Even though Shangguan Suer volunteered to take the punishment for her, Shangguan Yuer couldn't dare to do so. Compared to the punishment, the family rules of the Shangguan family could cost her life. She couldn't let Shangguan Suer have any bad reputation, no matter what.
• Shangguan Yuer closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and tore off another page of the female precepts.
• Ye Fengwan stood there, feeling as if there was a burning gaze secretly falling on her. Her heart sank, and she subconsciously wanted to turn around and find out, but all she could see were rows and rows of bookshelves.
• "Quick, eat it! You made a bet, Shangguan Miss. Now, why are you hesitating?" The onlookers who were waiting to see Shangguan Yuer embarrass herself urged her loudly.
• Shangguan Yuer felt a discomfort in her chest. She couldn't understand why she impulsively agreed to Ye Fengwan's bet, which led her to this dilemma. But that waste really couldn't read before, she had witnessed it several times. How did she suddenly learn to read? It puzzled her.
• When she swallowed the first piece of paper, she knew that her reputation was ruined. These onlookers would definitely spread the embarrassing scene of her eating books everywhere.
• "Yuer, she has already eaten two pages. Are you satisfied now?" Shangguan Suer said softly.
• "Eat the whole book!" Ye Fengwan said coldly.
• "Yuer, you can't go too far!" Shangguan Suer couldn't believe what she was seeing.
• "Or do you want to eat it?" Ye Fengwan retorted.
• "Sister! I'll eat it!" Shangguan Yuer gritted her teeth, tore off another page, crumpled it in her hand, and stuffed it into her mouth. Her uncomfortable face changed, and she covered her mouth and started to retch.
• "Yuer! Yuer!" Shangguan Suer hurriedly went forward to pat her back.
• At this moment, Shangguan Yuer wished she could die. She coughed violently, tears streaming down her face.
• "Keep eating! Miss Shangguan, don't forget, I'm doing this for your own good! Once you swallow the original female precepts, you will know how to read them!" Ye Fengwan said with a smug smile.
• Nangong Ye, who was standing in the shadows, couldn't help but smile at her words. What a ridiculous theory, making someone eat the female precepts and expecting them to be grateful! However, her vengeful temperament resonated with him.
• When Shangguan Yuer had only one page left, Ye Fengwan said in a deep voice, "That's enough. I hope this page will be enough for Miss Shangguan to remember."
• After Ye Fengwan finished speaking, she took Qinghe's hand and walked outside.
• As they walked, they heard a voice.
• "Miss, are we not buying books anymore?"
• "No, we're not. I memorized all of them just now."
• "Oh, Miss, you're amazing. You memorized them all in one go." Qinghe's voice sounded again after a while.
• "Miss, why did you make her eat the books?"
• "Because... you are what you eat."
• Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yuer's vision went black, and she almost fell to the ground!
• Shangguan Suer hurriedly supported her and looked towards Ruiwang, who had been watching the scene. He also walked quickly towards the row of bookshelves upstairs after Ye Fengwan left. When he passed by the sisters, he didn't even glance at them, leaving them feeling depressed.
• After Ruiwang and his men went upstairs and saw the long bookshelf empty, they sensed a faint smell of dragon's saliva in the air.
• "Search the back!" Ruiwang said with a gloomy face.
• "Yes!" The guard behind him walked quickly and returned to him after a while, bowing and saying, "My lord, we didn't find anyone!"
• "You've escaped again, Nangong Ye!" A cold killing intent flashed in Ruiwang's eyes.
• He walked to the window, lifted a corner of the curtain, and saw a normal carriage speeding away.
• "My lord, should we chase after them?" the guard behind him asked in a low voice.
• "No need! We will meet sooner or later!" Ruiwang snorted coldly.
• Downstairs, Shangguan Yuer was about to leave with the help of her maidservant, but was stopped by the shopkeeper of the bookstore.
• "What's the matter?" Shangguan Yuer asked angrily.
• The shopkeeper looked at her disdainfully and said, "Just now, Miss Shangguan said she wanted to buy all of our female precepts. I've already packed them up. Where do you want me to put them?"
• Shangguan Yuer followed his finger and saw the books. A sour feeling rose in her throat, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth and retch again.
• "Who said we wanted these things?" Shangguan Suer frowned and asked the shopkeeper.
• "Just now, didn't Miss Shangguan say so? Everyone heard it. We sent away several customers who wanted to buy the female precepts!" the shopkeeper replied.
• "We don't want them!" Shangguan Suer said in a low voice.
• The shopkeeper's brow furrowed, and he stopped her. "Miss, this won't do! Our Jinxiu Bookstore is built on integrity. Just now, we offended many customers for your sake. Now, you say you don't want them. How can I establish myself in Ziyao Country?"
• Shangguan Suer's face turned ugly. Seeing people pointing and whispering about them, she took out some silver from her purse and directly handed it to the shopkeeper, saying, "Take the silver, we won't take the books. Do whatever you want with them!" After that, she ignored the shopkeeper and walked out.
• The two of them got on the carriage, and Shangguan Suer slapped the table hard, startling Shangguan Yuer.
• "Sister! It's all my fault. I embarrassed you!" Shangguan Yuer apologized in fear.
• "You too. Why did you have to show off? You were tricked by that despicable person!" In the absence of outsiders, Shangguan Suer's expression completely changed. Her face was fierce, and her eyes were filled with anger.
• "I didn't know that person could read! Sister, wasn't she raised with us? She rarely went to school! Even the teacher said she was useless. How could she know how to read? I just wanted to embarrass her!" Shangguan Yuer cried.
• "Embarrass her? Well, now it's you who's embarrassed, right? The news of you, Miss Shangguan, eating books will probably spread throughout the streets and alleys by tomorrow!" Shangguan Suer sneered.
• Shangguan Yuer bit her lip hard and knelt in front of Shangguan Suer.
• "Sister! You must avenge me! Yuer can't accept this!" Shangguan Yuer said tearfully.
• "What are you doing?" Shangguan Suer frowned at her.
