Jiang Xuanyan sneered, "Humph, I'll settle the score with you when I get back."
He flashed in front of her and struck her shoulder with a knife. Seeing her body go limp, he picked her up by the waist and walked out.
He walked a few steps and then stopped.
She turned her head and glared at Jiang Yanche with gloomy eyes, walked up to him step by step, with a smile on her face, but her eyes were full of murderous intent.
"My second brother has been away from the capital for many years. He finally returned, but instead of doing anything else, he is trying to provoke my woman. I wonder what my father would think if he knew about this?"
"From now on, stay away from her. Remember, she is my woman, not someone you can mess with."
The other party looked at him without fear.
"Oh? Really? Your woman? I've known Zhuzhu for a long time, so why haven't I heard her mention this?"
"Besides," Jiang Yanche smiled and leaned close to his ear, with an evil look on his face that was extremely inconsistent with his image, and his voice had a distinct hint of malice.
In a voice that only the two of them could hear, he said slowly,
"I like everything that belongs to my royal brother. I want to grab it and play with it. Women too..."
What a great Prince Chen, he is really his good brother.
Jiang Xuanyan smiled coldly, "Second brother, you are indeed courageous, but unfortunately, some things are destined by heaven. Whoever it belongs to will own it, and it cannot be taken away."
Jiang Yanche smiled provocatively.
"Are you so sure, my royal brother? Well, let's wait and see."
Jiang Xuanyan sneered, "I'm at your service anytime."
After saying this, he no longer hesitated and strode out of the pavilion holding Shen Ningzhu.
When Shen Ningzhu woke up, she was already lying on her bed. She was a little dazed at first, but soon she remembered what had happened before and sat up suddenly.
"Someone, come quickly."
While shouting, she climbed out of bed using her hands and feet, without even having time to put on her shoes and socks, and prepared to run outside.
As soon as he opened the door, he was knocked back several steps by Jiang Xuanyan who was coming towards him.
He looked down and saw her bare feet on the cold floor, and his face immediately darkened.
"How can you be so flustered, Chen Ningzhu, where are your manners and upbringing?"
Shen Ningzhu immediately grabbed his arm, “Where’s Xiaoyi?”
Jiang Xuanyan: "Is that maid the only one you have eyes for? Look at you now, how is it different from being crazy?"
"I'm asking you, where is Xiaoyi? Where is she? Answer me." If looks could kill, Jiang Xuanyan would have been dead by now.
Shen Ningzhu asked word by word.
He grabbed the collar of Jiang Xuanyan's shirt, pulled him in front of him, and stared at him.
"Speak up, where's Xiaoyi? What did you do to her?"
Jiang Xuanyan couldn't suppress his anger, so he raised his hand and grabbed Shen Ningzhu's neck, then pushed her against the door frame with force.
His skinny back slammed against the carvings on the door panel, and his delicate skin was instantly hurt.
It was as if something was embedded in her flesh. Her face turned pale with pain, her teeth couldn't help but tremble, and a dense layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Jiang Xuanyan was clearly smiling, but there was a sinister look in his eyes. His white fingertips slowly groped her delicate swan neck.
“Chen Ningzhu, you are really not afraid of death.”
As he spoke, his eyes moved to Shen Ningzhu's hand that was tightly gripping his collar, and his smile became even more mocking.
"No one has ever treated me like this. You're the first. Do you know what the consequences will be if you treat me like this?"
Shen Ningzhu didn't want to pay attention to him.
"I just want to know where Xiaoyi is, whether she's seriously injured, and how she's doing now. Tell me this, and as for me, you can do whatever you want with me."
Jiang Xuanyan was even more confused.
"I'll do anything to you, just for a maid?"
Shen Ningzhu yelled at him, “That’s my own business, none of your business.”
In Jiang Xuanyan's eyes, she looked like a little wild cat with its teeth bared. She looked ferocious, but in reality, she was nothing but an embroidered pillow, completely powerless.
"Is this your attitude when asking for help?"
Shen Ningzhu looked at him coldly, “Then just tell me what you want. As long as I can do it, I can do it.”
Jiang Xuanyan slowly let go of her neck and took a step back, and Shen Ningzhu also loosened her grip on his collar.
"She is at home now, she can't die yet."
Shen Ningzhu's eyes turned red, "Save her."
After thinking for a moment, she quickly knelt at Jiang Xuanyan's feet and said, "Your Highness, I beg you to save her."
Jiang Xuanyan stared at her beautifully curved fox eyes, and looked at the mist in them, feeling inexplicably irritated.
For some reason, I suddenly heard this sentence.
"Chen Ningzhu, you said you like me."
The corners of Shen Ningzhu's lips curled up, but her eyes were cold, "Your Highness, the Honorable Crown Prince, don't you know that love is not eternal?"
"What's the meaning?"
"What I mean is that love can fade and shift. Whether or not I am attracted to Your Highness depends entirely on you. After all, no one likes someone who hurts themselves and those around them, and makes them sad, don't you think?"
Jiang Xuanyan looked at her coldly.
Did she mean that if he hurt the maid, she would stop loving him?
Is it really as Princess Qingyi said, that he, the crown prince, is not as good as a lowly maid?
Shen Ningzhu, how dare she?
Chen Ningzhu also stared at him intently.
Seeing that he was filled with anger, Shen Ningzhu frowned, and finally gave in. She kowtowed to the person in front of her again, very loudly.
When he raised his head, his eyebrows were red and swollen, but his eyes were extremely firm.
"I beg Your Highness the Crown Prince to show mercy and allow the doctor to save Xiaoyi."
He kowtowed again, "I beg Your Highness the Crown Prince to have mercy and save Xiaoyi."
She kowtowed as she spoke, and kowtowed more than ten times. Jiang Xuanyan was so angry that his body trembled slightly, and he roared, "Enough, stand up for me."
Shen Ningzhu said stubbornly, "Please agree, Your Highness."
Her forehead was swollen, but she was still knocking her head. How could she do this for that maid?
Those exquisite fox eyes were persistent and determined.
Jiang Xuanyan would never admit that at this moment, he was actually a little jealous of the maid named Liu Zhiyi.
From childhood to adulthood, no one had ever protected him like this. Obviously, everyone in the outside world knew that he was the one she loved so much, but at this moment, he was defeated by a maid.
For the sake of that maid, she could stop loving him.
Why does she have the right?
It was clearly her who provoked him first, so why should she stop loving him now? He wouldn't allow it.
"I've asked the doctor to prescribe medicine for her and sent someone to take care of her. Don't worry, she'll be fine."
Shen Ningzhu was worried and wanted to go see her. When Jiang Xuanyan heard that, his face darkened again.
"It's late, let's clean up and rest. I want to go again tomorrow."
"Why are you still standing there? Come and help me change my clothes."
He wants her to sleep with him?
Shen Ningzhu's lungs nearly exploded with rage. What a bastard! He had such a beautiful idea. In the morning, he pushed her into the lake to drink the water, but she didn't suffocate to death. Then, in the evening, he strangled her neck and kicked her best friend away.
At this moment, he still wants to sleep with her?
