Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Zhongxuan suddenly cried out in pain.
Shen Zhiyi frowned hurriedly, checked his condition, and gestured to Hongrui, "Quickly go and fetch the Zhai family physician."
"No need to trouble yourself, I'm fine. Prince Song didn't do it on purpose."
Song Yuxiu wished he could beat this damned thing to death!
Stop pretending to be pitiful!
——
After Song Yuxiu left, Xiao Zhongxuan followed Shen Zhiyi into the house. The Zhai family doctor did not come. Hongrui took the medicine box and went with Lühe to the small kitchen to prepare food.
Shen Zhiyi took out the ointment and stuffed it into his hand, saying, "Apply it yourself."
"Won't Madam help me?"
"I never realized you were such a good actor."
Shen Zhiyi is not stupid.
Since Xiao Zhongxuan could enter and leave the Regent's Palace to deliver messages to her, he must be quite skilled. He also knew Song Yuxiu's character very well. If the two of them really clashed, it was not certain that someone would suffer a loss.
How could he have knocked her to the ground with just two punches?
Xiao Zhongxuan chuckled, "I did hit him first."
"Why?"
"I don't like him, and I want to help you get revenge."
"So you made him misunderstand our relationship?"
Xiao Zhongxuan suddenly moved closer, "Madam, our relationship is not innocent to begin with, is there any need for misunderstanding?"
"You...you're really outrageous!"
Shen Zhiyi ignored him and got up to prepare for breakfast.
Xiao Zhongxuan suddenly reached out and grabbed her, "At yesterday's family reunion banquet, with the Empress Dowager present, why didn't you let Song Yuxiu write the divorce papers directly?"
"I have my own reasons."
Shen Zhiyi was thinking that since the person behind Song Yuxiu had not yet appeared, if that person was targeting the Shen family, then after her divorce from Song Yuxiu, it would be difficult for that person to harm the Shen family through Song Yuxiu again, and they would definitely take some action.
She wanted to see if the person behind the scenes would make a move.
Xiao Zhongxuan didn't ask for details, only saying, "Madam, if you need me, I am at your service at any time."
"I would never dare to use you again."
Shen Zhiyi hadn't realized he was such a scheming person before.
"Why? Are you afraid I'll hurt you?"
She raised an eyebrow but remained silent.
Xiao Zhongxuan just smiled and held her hand tightly. "Don't be afraid. As long as you're willing, I'm all yours."
His smile was gentle; when he looked at her, the corners of his mouth curved upwards and his eyes arched.
It's incredibly alluring.
Shen Zhiyi hurriedly shook off his hand and practically fled.
Xiao Zhongxuan smiled broadly as he rubbed the ointment for treating bruises in his hand. A dark figure appeared silently behind him, tapping lightly on the table with his fingers.
The shadow vanished instantly.
On his way back to the Marquis's residence, Song Yuxiu was suddenly dragged into a dark alley...
Half an hour later, he was thrown at the entrance of the Marquis's mansion.
That face was bruised and swollen, so badly beaten that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him.
