Chapter 25
(49) Recapture Baihua City (3)
That night, I sneaked into Wei Zhen's temporary residence in advance and drugged Chunxia, who was dressed up and waiting for Wei Zhen.
I pulled down the bed curtains and curled up on the bed, holding a knife in my hand, waiting for Wei Zhen to come back so I could teach him a lesson.
Sure enough, Wei Zhen arrived at the residence in a disorderly manner, chatting and laughing with everyone.
When I heard the sound of the door opening, I focused all my attention on the entrance of the bed curtain, waiting for Wei Zhen to lift the curtain so that I could stab him to death.
Who knew that after waiting for a long time, Wei Zhen didn't even lift the bed curtain.
Suddenly, I felt a cool breeze blowing beside my ears.
I instinctively shuddered, and a feeling of terror rose from the bottom of my heart.
I turned my head and saw Wei Zhen with his face against my shoulder, looking at me with a wicked smile.
I was so scared that I jumped off the bed with a scream, and then I looked at Wei Zhen who was laughing so hard that he got a stitch in the side, gasping for breath.
"When I saw you in the main building this afternoon, I knew you would definitely come and cause trouble. Next time, remember to be more careful when doing something bad. I haven't even entered the room, so there's no reason for you to lower the bed curtains."
It turned out that after Wei Zhen entered the room, he found that the bed curtains were drawn, and he guessed that I must be hiding in the curtains.
He then lifted the other side of the bed curtain to deliberately scare me.
I was very angry when I found out that Wei Zhen had teased me.
I picked up a stool and threw it at Wei Zhen.
"Look, I'm going to beat you to death!"
Wei Zhen dodged the stool, which hit the door and broke two pages of the paper-pasted window.
I picked up another stool and rushed towards Wei Zhen. When I got close to Wei Zhen, I smashed the stool at him hard.
Wei Zhen stood in front of me and controlled my hands with both hands.
"Shang Shisan, are you crazy? You will really beat me to death." Wei Zhen said in a serious and hurried tone.
"Ahhhhh, I'm going to beat you to death, I'm going to beat you to death, and then I'm going to remain a virgin and a widow for you!"
Wei Zhen suddenly gripped my wrist tightly with his right hand. My wrist loosened in pain and the stool fell over our heads.
Wei Zhen pulled me over and barely avoided getting hit on the head by the falling stool.
Although I was still in shock, I was still very angry with Wei Zhen and wanted to slap him in the face.
Who knew that Wei Zhen would grab my wrist again and twist it, and I fell to the ground with a scream.
"You bastard, you're a domestic abuser! Help! The Prince of Pingnan is a domestic abuser of his wife! Come and save me..."
I knelt on the ground and started shouting.
Wei Zhen tried to cover my mouth again, "Shut up, you still don't think this is embarrassing enough?"
It happened in a flash. I reacted very quickly and bit his hand. Wei Zhen screamed in pain.
We both stopped fighting, breathlessly, when we heard footsteps outside the door.
However, within just a stick of incense, the house was already in a mess.
Two of the four stools next to the table were broken, two doors were broken, and Wei Zhen and I both had injuries on our hands.
"Lord Wei, are you okay?" After a while, there was a slightly hurried knock on the door.
Wei Zhen and I stopped what we were doing and fell silent.
"Master Su, I'm fine..." Wei Zhen was halfway through his words when Su Cen pushed the door open and walked into the room.
"I'm deeply sorry, Master Wei. I heard the commotion inside and was deeply worried about you. Furthermore, I heard that Chunxia had just been found drugged and unconscious outside. That's why I dared to break into your residence so late at night. Please forgive me."
As soon as Su Cen entered the room, he started talking incoherently and politely.
(Fifty) Recapture Baihua City (Part 4)
"Shang Shisan, you're so bold! You actually dared to break into the residence of Prince Pingnan at night!" Su Cen suddenly put away his hypocritical appearance and changed his face like a face-changing. He pointed at me and shouted, "Come here, arrest this evil Shang Shisan."
I immediately put my hands on my waist and yelled, "I am the Princess of Pingnan, and I am the daughter of the Lord of Baihua City. I will see who dares to touch me!"
When Su Cen heard what I said, he sneered sinisterly.
"You're the self-proclaimed Princess of Pingnan, what are you bragging about? Everyone in the world knows that your marriage to Lord Wei is nothing but a farce. Speaking of which, Shang Shisan, don't you love farces?"
After mocking me for a few words, Su Cen turned to look at Wei Zhen who was checking the scars on his hands.
"Master Wei, what do you think is the appropriate way to deal with Shang Shisan?"
Wei Zhen glanced at me out of the corner of his eye, then said to Su Cen, "Lock him up. It's annoying to watch him."
"Wei Zhen, you damn bastard!" I was immediately tied up and carried out of the house. I shouted loudly before leaving the house.
Once again, I was kicked into a cell.
I really feel heartbroken by Wei Zhen, and my emotions towards him are very complicated at the moment.
A feeling of both love and annoyance.
At the same time, I am also disappointed in myself for being spineless.
Wei Zhen was so cruel to me, but I kept having unrealistic fantasies about him.
"Wei Zhen, you damn bastard, I'm going to beat you to death!" I kicked the cold cell wall frantically to vent my anger.
After I went crazy for a while, a yamen runner I didn't know came in and put a bowl of rice paste in my hand with an expressionless face.
I walked to the bowl and saw that it was actually some leftovers from other people's meals, soaking in clear water.
It looks like food for wild dogs.
I got furious on the spot.
I started shouting and screaming, and soon a bailiff came in.
"What are you shouting about?" As soon as the man finished saying this, I picked up my bowl and hit him in the face.
The splattered soup sprayed all over him.
"I am the Princess of Pingnan, and I am the daughter of the Lord of Baihua City. How dare you, blind men, feed me leftovers? Do you want to die?"
The yamen runner was covered in vegetable soup by me and was obviously angry.
"Yes, yes, the princess that the Prince of Pingnan picked up from the roadside to play with, and the daughter of the mayor of Baihua City, whose life or death no one cares about." The yamen runner wiped the vegetable soup off his face and body and said with a smile: "Princess, why are you so hated wherever you go? You were not welcomed at home, so you had to wander around unmarried. Even after being picked up, you still didn't attract your husband, so now you have to wander around again."
I squatted on the ground with my hands on my knees, thinking over and over again about the words that the young yamen runner had just used to mock me.
I still feel a little sad.
I remembered the content of the argument he and I had just had.
"How do you know that Wei Zhen doesn't like me?" I asked the young yamen runner unconvinced.
The young yamen runner sneered, "Because I have eyes and ears. The whole world knows that the Prince of Pingnan's Mansion doesn't recognize your marriage at all. Everyone in the world knows that Madam Wei beat you with a stick in public. You are so shameless, and you still have the nerve to call yourself the Princess of Pingnan. You are just a joke."
I took a step back and said weakly, "You are mistaken. Wei Zhen likes me..."
I squatted on the ground, biting my lip, and repeatedly tried to find some clues in my heart that Wei Zhen liked me.
Wei Zhen must like me.
On our wedding day, when he closed the door and carefully treated my swollen and painful arm;
I woke up in the middle of the night and saw him lying on his side, looking at me with his eyes slightly narrowed;
When else?
I can’t think of any other moment that proved Wei Zhen’s love for me.
It turns out that there are so few traces of love between us and the time is so short.
