Su Wanyi sighed and said, "I just don't want others to control my fate."
I looked at her in confusion.
Her voice was soft but carried a sense of determination: "My life is mine to control, not dictated by fate. My destiny can only be shaped by me. Even if you are the young lady, you have no right to decide my life."
My expression changed.
What Su Wanyi said was incredibly bold.
"You... how dare you..." I stammered.
Su Wanyi replied calmly, "What do I have to fear? Young lady, don't forget that I am not just your maid; I am someone you have nurtured. You know my abilities better than anyone."
I stared at her, speechless.
Looking at me, Su Wanyi softened her tone: "Young lady, I have never blamed you. You are my master, and you can ask me to do anything. However, you cannot control my life."
I sighed and said, "I understand."
Su Wanyi stood up and turned to leave.
Suddenly, I called out to her: "Su Wanyi."
She paused and looked back at me: "Young lady?"
After hesitating for a moment, I asked softly, "If you knew I liked Tang Mufeng... would you... mind?"
Su Wanyi was taken aback for a moment before saying, "I... I would."
My heart sank.
Indeed, my feelings were destined to lead nowhere.
"Young lady, please don't be upset," Su Wanyi hurriedly explained. "I'm not jealous of you. I just... I just think that since you already have someone you like, you should wholeheartedly treat him well and not think about anyone else."
I forced a smile and said, "I understand."
Su Wanyi walked over to me and embraced me gently, saying softly, "Young lady, I will always be by your side. If you like Tang Mufeng, even if it means not liking me, I will accept it."
Tears welled up in my eyes.
Su Wanyi released me, winked playfully, and said with a smile, "If he dares to treat you poorly, I'll beat him up!"
Unable to hold back any longer, I buried my face in Su Wanyi's arms and cried uncontrollably.
What is this... I've really embarrassed Vicious Female Antagonist.
"The person closest to me likes the one I hate the most, and I didn't cry. Why are you crying?"
She comforted me, gesturing towards the city gate.
"I heard him say he was going to join Cao Peng's troops. Bullets don't have eyes; if something happens to him, won't you regret it? You can still catch up now."
I knew Tang Mufeng must have already enlisted. Although he appeared gentle and refined, he was actually very stubborn. Once he made a decision, not even a herd of oxen could pull him back. But I still wanted to try my luck; what if... what if I ran into him?
That night, I took my pass and left the city, heading for the Governor's army. By the time I arrived, it was already late at night.
I was greeted by Cao Peng, the adopted son of the Governor. He was a promising young officer, having achieved great military success at a young age and held in high regard by the Governor. Behind him stood a little girl, around seven or eight years old, with two pigtails, crying with snot and tears—probably Cao Peng's sister.
Cao Peng looked embarrassed. "Miss Zhao, what brings you here?"
I cleared my throat and said, "Um... I have something I'd like to ask for your help with."
"Please go ahead, Miss Zhao."
I hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm looking for someone."
"Oh?" Cao Peng replied in surprise. "Who is it?"
"He is called Tang Mufeng."
