When he returned to the Prince's residence, Zhao Zhi was still asleep. He looked up at the bright sun overhead and asked Du Heng beside him, "Is it noon now?"

Du Heng nodded.

Su Mu said from the side, "No one inside has come out, and no one else has gone in either. The food that was brought in hasn't been touched."

Shen Hanshan sensed something was wrong. He strode to the bedside, pulled back the gauze curtains, and revealed a quilt that was piled high.

Search! Dig three feet into the ground, find her for me!

The prince's roar came from inside the house, which startled Su Mu. He quickly gathered everyone in the manor and mobilized them to search every possible hiding place in the manor.

Zhao Zhi was curled up in the closet, holding her breath and not daring to move.

After a while, she heard the footsteps fading away, and cautiously pushed open the cabinet door, only to be immediately stunned.

Shen Hanshan, who should have angrily left the house to find her, was now standing in front of the wardrobe, glaring at her menacingly.

"Is it fun, Miss Zhao?"

Zhao Zhi's legs suddenly went weak. She knelt on the ground with a thud, her body trembling like a leaf.

Shen Hanshan squatted down, pulled off the black veil from Zhao Zhi's face, and forced her to look him in the eye.

He said to himself with a self-deprecating laugh, "You're the first one who dares to play tricks on me."

Zhao Zhi shook her head repeatedly.

"You don't want to marry me?"

Zhao Zhi nodded, then quickly shook her head.

Shen Hanshan carried her toward the bed. "As you wish, I have personally gone to annul the engagement." If he hadn't gone to annul the engagement himself, he wouldn't have been able to confirm that the person who had tricked him was actually his fiancée.

Shen Hanshan threw Zhao Zhi onto the bed, leaned over her, placed his hands on either side of her, and his eyes were filled with desire.

"Your Highness, we've searched the entire manor, but we couldn't find it—" Su Mu, who came to report, stopped abruptly when he saw the scene inside the room.

He quickly left, closing the door behind him, and instructed the others to continue their duties and not to look for anything further.

"What are you going to do?" Zhao Zhi asked in a panic.

She was wearing Shen Hanshan's nightgown, which was loose and ill-fitting. After the commotion just now, the nightgown was wide open, revealing glimpses of her voluptuous figure.

"What do you think I'm going to do? Of course," Shen Hanshan sneered, "I'm going to punish you!"

His eyes were bloodshot, and he ripped off the only piece of clothing covering Zhao Zhi's body.
