"Your Highness, Your Highness, are you alright?!"
Wang Feng nervously stepped forward to check, but was pushed away by Li Mufeng. He struggled to get up from the ground, but instead of being angry, he said with a look of doting affection.
"Han Ziwei, you've already hit me and scolded me, let's have a proper talk, okay?"
The matter of divorce was truly not my intention. No, I meant that I did not intend to divorce you yesterday. No, I…
At this moment, "Blood Purple Rose" had bright eyes and white teeth, skin as white as snow, and lips like jade beads. Her whole body exuded an aura of dominance, which amazed Li Mufeng, who was somewhat incoherent.
"Here's your fake jade pendant back. Now get out of here, or I'll kill you."
"Blood Purple Rose" hurled a jade pendant at Li Mufeng, and Wang Shuqing said in a low voice,
"Ziwei, you mustn't be so rude to the prince. Quickly apologize to him."
"Yes! Sister, you've gone too far. Your husband is so good to you. You were drunk just now, and he took care of you the whole time. He even cleaned up your vomit. How could you hit him?"
Han Ruobin looked indignant, while "Xue Ziwei" raised an eyebrow, as if she couldn't believe that Li Mufeng would do such a thing for her, after all, he was a prince who was high and mighty!
“Miss, you have gone too far. The Prince is still injured! Yet he has been taking care of you. How could you…”
Seeing that blood was starting to seep from Li Mufeng's back, Xing'er couldn't help but pout.
"Your Highness, I must say a few words to you. Yesterday you were suspected of murder. Despite his injuries, the Prince rushed to the Prime Minister's residence to find evidence for you. He then went to the Dali Temple to try to redeem you, only to find that you had been taken away by Chu Yunmo. He then went to the 'Yuanyang Pavilion' and then to the Xianwang Mansion to help you out. He has been going on and on until now."
Look at the prince's wound, it's already festering, you..."
Wang Feng kept rambling on, but was interrupted sharply by Li Mufeng.
"That's enough, you can all leave now."
"But Your Highness, your injuries..."
Wang Feng was very worried, but was glared at by Li Mufeng. Helpless, he could only bow.
"Your Highness is at the end of the corridor. If Your Highness needs anything, please summon me."
"Ziwei, speak to the Prince properly and do not lay a hand on him. Don't forget who he was injured for."
Despite Wang Shuqing's repeated instructions, Han Ruobin remained equally worried.
"I won't allow you to bully your brother-in-law anymore. If you dare to bully him again, I will never call you sister again."
"Hey! Whose family are you anyway?"
Han Ziwei watched her family members leave, feeling a pang of resentment towards Li Mufeng for "playing dumb to fool others."
This is the same person who tried to force himself on me and kissed me forcibly. How come it's now my fault?
Was it just because he was injured? Yes, he was indeed injured for his own sake, but he also killed Murong for him and avenged him.
Moreover, if he hadn't asked me to go outside the city to rescue "Divine Physician Ouyang," I wouldn't have been in danger. The medicine that Divine Physician Ouyang had been taking during this time was from the Prime Minister's residence, so I don't owe Li Mufeng anything.
Despite these thoughts, "Blood Purple Rose" couldn't bear it any longer. Looking at Li Mufeng's bleeding wound, she sighed.
"Come inside with me, I'll bandage you up."
Just as "Blood Purple Rose" was about to turn around, Li Mufeng's iron-like hand grabbed her wrist.
"Han Ziwei, what exactly do you mean? Why did you give me a fake jade?"
If you don't like it, just give it back to me. Why humiliate me like this?
"If you like it, then stay. I have no intention of taking it back, so why are you making a fuss?"
"Li Mufeng, are you out of your mind! Isn't this just a fake jade you gave me? Why pretend it's real?"
Why would a prince be so stingy, giving away fake gifts? Is that really necessary?
If you're really short of money, I can ask my mother to give you some.
"Blood Purple Rose" forcefully shook off Li Mufeng's hand, her eyes filled with sarcasm, then she curled the corners of her lips into a smile.
"By the way, since we are already divorced, and Your Highness is so poor, why don't you take back the betrothal gifts you gave me a couple of days ago? My grandfather's family is rich and doesn't care about them."
"Smack..."
With a sharp crack, Li Mufeng slapped "Blood Purple Rose" hard across the face, then grabbed her by the throat.
"Han Ziwei, do you really want to force me to kill you?"
You may humiliate me, and you may maintain your ties with that Cowherd; I will tolerate it all. But you cannot humiliate my mother.
That jade pendant is the only relic left by my mother, and you dared to switch it out and even insult me by saying it's fake jade.
"Han Ziwei, you can divorce me, but you must produce that genuine jade. Don't try to fool me with a fake one. Do you think I'm a fool?"
Li Mufeng was so angry that he wanted to kill the ungrateful woman in front of him. He had already done so much for her, what more did she want?
Li Mu slammed "Blood Purple Rose" to the ground with all his might, showing no mercy whatsoever. "Blood Purple Rose" cried out in pain.
"ah……"
"What happened? Why are they fighting again?"
Hearing the commotion from afar, Wang Feng and the others rushed over. Wang Shuqing, assuming it was because of what had just happened that Li Mufeng had become angry, hurriedly explained.
"Your Highness, please calm down. Ziwei was just drunk and her mind is still not clear. Please forgive her for her recklessness."
"Sister, sister, are you alright?"
"Young Miss..."
...
Han Ruobin and Xing'er rushed forward to help "Xue Ziwei" up, only to hear her say in a chilling tone,
"Li Mufeng, what's wrong with you? How dare the dignified Dragon Prince not admit his mistakes? Have you no shame?"
After saying "Blood Purple Rose," she turned to Wang Shuqing.
“Mother, could you take a piece of jade from your private treasury and give it to Prince Longxuan? He’s so poor that he’s trying to extort us with fake jade.”
"Jade? What jade?"
Wang Feng looked up at Li Mufeng and saw that his face was frighteningly pale.
His fists were clenched so tightly they cracked, and he was clearly holding something in his right palm. I couldn't help but tentatively ask him...
"Your Highness, is the jade the Princess Consort mentioned the jade pendant left behind by Consort An?"
"Your Highness, Your Highness, the young prince has gone missing."
Just as the two sides were deadlocked, a guard from the Longxuan Prince's Mansion rushed over.
"What? Where is the young master?"
Li Mufeng grabbed the man's collar, his voice cold and menacing.
"Yesterday...after the prince left, the young master returned to his room. This morning, the maid who was serving the young master saw that he hadn't come out for a long time and tried to push the door open, but found it locked from the inside."
Fearing something had happened to him, they had the door kicked down, only to find the young prince was gone.
The visitor stammered, and Wang Feng pressed him for answers.
"Have you checked the kitchen? Maybe he's hungry and has gone to find something to eat?"
"We've searched the entire manor. The bedsheets in the room were cut by the young master with scissors. This servant is worried that the young master climbed out of the window and left the manor through the dog hole in the side hall."
The visitor shared his guess.
Li Mufeng slammed the jade pendant to the ground, gritting his teeth.
"Han Ziwei, I'm making this clear today: if you don't hand over the jade left by my mother, I won't spare you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt dizzy and then collapsed to the ground with a thud.
"Your Highness..."
"Your Highness..."
...
Everyone gasped in surprise. Xue Ziwei rushed forward to check, but Wang Feng, seeing he couldn't help, bent down to pick up the jade pendant from the ground. After examining it closely, he was immediately "greatly astonished."
“This is definitely not the prince’s jade pendant.”
