“The loser will be using the northern gate when she returns. Let’s go there now to get a good position to see the show!”
Everyone agreed with the speaker, and everyone started to head to the northern gate.
The capital was huge. The trip from the northern gate to the closest western gate was a day’s journey.
Due to its proximity to the Forest of a Thousand Illusions, it was dangerous for low-level individuals to remain out of the capital when it got dark.
Hence, it wasn’t wrong for everyone to assume that she would be entering the capital through the northern gate before the sun went down.
Jun Mohuang, who was wearing a scarf, casually followed the crowd. Hence, she heard everything that they were saying.
On the way to the northern gate, she saw that there were more and more people heading there. They were all discussing the same topic.
The more, the merrier. She wouldn’t be the one who had lost her chastity and returned by the northern gate.
At the northern gate, there was already a huge crowd that gathered. It was more packed than the market.
Among the crowd, Jun Moxue, who was the sixth miss of the Jun Family, stood out with her white dress.
She had a look of guilt on her face as she mumbled to herself, “It’s all my fault for not stopping her from heading to the Forest of a Thousand Illusions.”
“Sixth Miss, it’s not your fault. The loser wanted to embarrass herself!”
“Sixth Miss, it’s her own fault if anything happens to her. It doesn’t concern you. You shouldn’t be blaming yourself.”
“Sixth Miss is too kind, she likes to take responsibility for everything.”
Those who heard what she said immediately consoled her.
They knew that the sixth miss of the Jun Family was a beauty, but they never expected her to be so kind as well. In contrast, Jun Mohuang was just a loser to them. They hated her even more after finding out that she had done such shameful acts.
Jun Moxue pretended to be shy from the praises that she received, but she was secretly pleased with it.
She had been in love with the Fourth Prince for the longest time. She actually agreed to deceive Jun Mohuang, and made her enter the Forest of a Thousand Illusions after Su Zhijing promised her that she could become a concubine of the Fourth Prince if everything went well.
Su Zhijing was going to be responsible for everything that happened in the Forest of a Thousand Illusions. Hence, she just had to wait for the loser to return to confirm the rumor that she had given her chastity to the jade-horned python, and she would be rewarded.
She was confident that the Fourth Prince was going to love her after marrying her.
Jun Moxue was elated as she thought about her plans.
Jun Mohuang hid in the crowd and smiled coldly.
Jun Moxue was just a two-faced woman. She pretended to be a decent lady in front of everyone, but she was the one who bullied her the most.
Be as happy as you want now, you won’t be able to do that soon.
As time passed, the crowd grew bigger.
The crowd waited impatiently as the sun started to set, and the sky turned crimson red.
Just as the sun was about to hide below the horizon, they saw a frail figure heading to the capital.
“Oh, she’s finally here.”
Everyone started to gossip when they saw the figure. However, it didn’t occur to them that the figure might not be Jun Mohuang.
Outside the northern gate, Su Zhijing limped towards the capital as she endured the pain between her legs.
When she woke up, she found herself in the middle of a road. Thank God that there wasn’t anyone to witness her current pathetic state.
