Chapter 875: Chapter 875: The Story of Ye Ge and Nan Feng

Song Cheng also sighed, "It’s been so long since Lady Nan Feng fell and there’s been no news of her. I’m afraid the worst has happened. Not only does Ye refuse to believe this reality, even I find it hard to accept. You have no idea how wonderful a lady Nan Feng is. Every time I see Ye, it’s as if I see that lady standing lively before me, calling me ’Lord Song.’ And yes, she sings beautifully, has an impressive poise and even knows how to do business—selling some kind of facial masks that are very popular with the local women. My wife and daughter particularly love those, they use them every day."

Lu Jianxi felt a twinge of sadness—or perhaps, it was jealousy.

Even Song Cheng had such high regard for Nan Feng, which meant she must be an extraordinary lady.

"My lord, why don’t you tell me about Ye and his wife’s story? I’m quite interested," Lu Jianxi said.

Song Cheng glanced at Lu Jianxi with curiosity, "Oh, you’re interested in their affairs too? Lady, could it be that you have feelings for General Nangong...?"

"No, I..." Lu Jianxi’s expression had already betrayed her. She could only nod her head, "General Nangong is such a fine man, any lady would like him, wouldn’t they?"

"That’s true, not just you, my youngest daughter was also infatuated with him to the point of life and death. You don’t know, the General Nangong of that time didn’t look like he does now. Back then, he wore a layer of fake skin. Do you know how ugly that fake skin was? The first time I saw him, I got a shock; his nose and mouth were all twisted and it looked quite horrific. It made me so anxious, I thought to myself whether he was here to protect me or harm me. If I had seen such a person in the middle of the night, I would’ve been scared to death! I didn’t have the heart to say anything at the time, thinking I’d get used to it eventually."

Lu Jianxi had no idea about Ye’s past and couldn’t help but laugh, "Ye once wore a fake skin? But why would he choose such an ugly one?"

Song Cheng smiled, "I guess it’s because his adopted father had just met with a violent misfortune, and he felt so disheartened that he picked such an ugly one, not wishing for anyone to approach him. Moreover, the village where he hid himself was the most remote and isolated one. You can imagine how desperate he was back then. But fortunately, Lady Nan Feng appeared."

Now Lu Jianxi became curious again, "Was Lady Nan Feng originally from that village?"

"That’s right. One of my subordinates, a sluice official, told me that lady used to be particularly ugly too. But somehow, these two still took a liking to each other, and the lady was rather clever. She knew how to make herself look more attractive with effort. While Ye was different, all he had to do was lift the fake skin and underneath he was a handsome man. So Ye watched day by day as Lady Nan Feng became more beautiful, but it was much later that Nan Feng found out Ye wasn’t ugly at all. I bet Lady Nan Feng must have felt like she had found a treasure at that time."

As Song Cheng spoke, it was as if he was telling a warm and romantic fairy tale.

Listening, Lu Jianxi started to choke up, "That’s really rare, for two people to meet at their most destitute and embarrassed moments, to come this far together. Their feelings for each other must be very deep indeed."

"Indeed. Lady Nan Feng was framed by competitors while doing business in Provincial City. Because there wasn’t enough evidence at the time, I had no choice but to detain her. This led to their wedding being missed, but Ye forcefully brought their wedding clothes to the detention room, and the two of them held their wedding ceremony under the Heavens right there..."
