Chapter 14: Stinky Man
The "crackling" sound of slaps and tearful pleas for mercy attracted Zhu Wenqin who was looking for a dog hole.
Zhu Wenqin rushed over to find the sound. A girl in a gorgeous silk dress, with round almond-shaped eyes, stared at the two servants who were being slapped on the ground, and kept shouting:
"Hit me harder! Haven't you eaten? Beat me to death!"
Zhu Wenqin couldn't help but wonder, and started to mutter in her heart:
"Who is this woman?"
"I've been in this palace for more than ten days, and I haven't heard anyone say there's such a woman in the palace. Look at her behavior, she looks like an arrogant and domineering young lady from a famous family."
Then he looked at the two servants lying on the ground, their faces and noses were bruised and swollen, with blood oozing from the corners of their mouths, and they looked extremely miserable.
Zhu Wenqin has always hated to see such scenes of bullying, and she felt a little uncomfortable watching it.
He took a few steps forward and shouted loudly:
"Stop! Who are you? If you fight like this, they will be killed!"
A servant kneeling on the ground recognized Zhu Wenqin, who had done odd jobs for him for two days, and knew that the little guard he had just mentioned was him. He became cautious and thought that with the prince's preference for him, he might be able to save himself, so he covered his painful mouth and said incoherently:
"Guard Zhu, please save me. I won't dare to do it again next time. Please help me put in a good word."
"Guard Zhu?" When Wang Zhiyan heard this address, she turned her head to look at the nosy young man, jealousy surging in her eyes:
"You are such a vixen, you are the one who used those despicable means to seduce the prince, right?"
When Zhu Wenqin heard this, he immediately flew into a rage and loudly retorted:
"What are you talking about? What seduction? Who is the bitch? You are the complete bitch. Quickly release these two people! Is there any law under the emperor's feet?"
"How dare you call me a bitch?"
Wang Zhiyan's face turned red instantly and she was almost fuming with anger. She never thought that a small guard would dare to talk back to her like this.
At this time, the maid Mei Xue also jumped out, raised her head and shouted arrogantly:
"You must be blind. Our young lady is the most beautiful girl in the capital. She was personally bestowed upon the prince by the current emperor. How dare you, a mere guard, act wildly here!"
"What? The prince already has a concubine?"
When Zhu Wenqin heard this, a trace of shock flashed across his face. His heart seemed to be suddenly stabbed by something, and a wave of bitterness surged into his heart. He didn't even realize that he felt a little lost in his heart.
Wang Zhiyan keenly caught the flash of depression on Zhu Wenqin's face, and suddenly a sense of inexplicable pride surged in her heart. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of mocking sneer, thinking:
"Humph, now you know your identity, and you still dare to snatch the prince from me."
Zhu Wenqin was silent for a while, and asked reluctantly:
"If that's the case, then why are you living in the side courtyard? I haven't heard the prince mention it before?"
Wang Zhiyan, who was originally very proud, was instantly ignited with jealousy: "You are really bringing up something irrelevant. Guard Zhu, you are so good. Now that I have run into you, I have to treat you well."
A trace of cunning and viciousness flashed in Wang Fuyan's eyes. She wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, squeezed out two tears with great difficulty, and said with sobs:
"Master Zhu, you don't know that I, a pure and innocent girl, was sent to the palace. In less than half a year, the prince got tired of me. Now I can only live in this side courtyard and cannot go back. My life is really worse than death..."
The two people kneeling on the ground rolled their eyes to the sky:
If you are so good at writing, you can go and do storytelling.
But due to their low status, they dared not say anything. They looked at each other, sighed, and shook their heads together.
Zhu Wenqin was dumbfounded, and her expression froze instantly:
Is this the big evil guy who abandons his lover after having sex with him?
He usually looks calm and cold, but I never thought he is such a scumbag at heart!
Stinky man!
Wang Zhiyan glanced at Zhu Wenqin quietly, and seeing that the time was right, she struck while the iron was hot. While Zhu Wenqin was distracted, she tore off her jade pendant and handed it to him, pretending to be extremely uncomfortable and said:
"Mr. Zhu, this jade pendant is a token of love given to me by the prince. If you don't believe me, take a look. There are words engraved by the prince himself on the back."
Zhu Wenqin subconsciously reached out to take it, but when she was about to touch the jade pendant, Wang Zhiyan's hand loosened and the jade pendant immediately fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.
Seeing this, Wang Zhiyan pretended to be heartbroken and burst into tears:
"Master Zhu, this is a gift from the prince. Even if you are angry, you can't throw it away."
"Wu Huai, quickly arrest this Zhu. He broke my jade pendant. I will make him pay today."
Zhu Wenqin finally woke up from her dream and realized that she had been tricked. She quickly explained:
"I didn't fall at all. You let go of me on purpose. You framed me."
Wang Zhiyan yelled angrily: "So many people are watching, don't even think about making excuses."
Wu Huai received the order and without saying a word, he took a step forward, raised his foot and kicked Zhu Wenqin's calf hard.
Zhu Wenqin staggered and fell to the ground.
At the same time, Mei Xue took out a thin vine from somewhere. Wu Huai took the cane, raised it high, and was about to hit Zhu Wenqin hard.
At this critical moment, a figure flew over like lightning. With a "muffled groan", the whip did not fall on Zhu Wenqin, but hit Qi Feng who arrived in time.
Just as he was about to whip him for the second time, Qi Feng shouted, "How dare you hurt Guard Zhu? The prince will not let you go."
"It's Guard Zhu again," Wang Zhiyan said, like a powder keg that had been lit. "Hit him, Wu Huai, hurry up and do it."
Wu Huai was about to drop the whip when a gust of wind blew and a "thump" was heard. The man holding the whip was kicked into the lotus pond by Xue Nian who had been driven back.
Accompanied by a burst of hurried and heavy footsteps, Jing Siye strode over.
His eyes were as sharp as torches, and a cold light flashed in them. He spoke coldly:
"Wang Zhiyan, you are so brave!"
The voice was low but full of intimidation, wrapped in frost, making everyone present shiver.
Xue Nian quickly supported Qi Feng, and Jing Siye also picked up Zhu Wenqin from the ground, and the hostility in his eyes instantly subsided a little:
"Are you hurt anywhere?"
What Zhu Wenqin felt at this moment was not the pain in her legs, but the heartache caused by Wang Zhiyan's words. He closed his mouth, his eyes filled with grievance:
[Big bad guy, stinky man,]
[A stinky man who seduces and then abandons! 】
Jing Siye looked stunned, as if trying to understand something:
Stinky man? Seducing and then abandoning?
Are you talking about this king?
