Chen Ningzhu turned her head away, not wanting to look at that face, because as soon as she saw it, all the things she had experienced with him during these days would come to her mind.
Whenever I thought about this, the nausea in my chest surged up again.
"Don't even think about it, Jiang Xuanyan. Who do you think you are? To tell you the truth, if you hadn't forced me, I would have happily been a small farmer."
Watch the sky in the morning and the clouds in the evening.
In my spare time, I grow vegetables and flowers, invite a few good friends to make wine and tea, and talk about farming and hemp. Life is so comfortable.
But because of him, she had to come to the Prince's Mansion. She was really tired of this kind of life.
Now, I would rather die than have any physical contact with him again.
"It's not up to you. From the moment your body belongs to me, you are my own. I want you, and it's not your turn to refuse."
Liu Zhiyi had gone to get a thin cloak at some point and helped Chen Ningzhu put it on with red eyes.
Then he knelt down next to Shen Ningzhu and bowed solemnly to Jiang Xuanyan.
"Your Highness, please calm down. I was feeling unwell today, which is why I got a little emotional. I didn't mean to offend you."
The man scoffed, "Feeling unwell?"
"Yes, according to the date, the young lady is about to have her menstrual period, so her mood swings are quite strong, it's really not intentional."
Yeah?
The man turned his head to look at Shen Ningzhu.
She was soaked to the skin, with crystal clear raindrops hanging on her thick, long eyelashes, and her soft hair sticking to her cheeks.
He looked extremely miserable.
There was a hint of annoyance between Jiang Xuanyan's eyebrows. He was just wondering whether he should speak in a nicer tone and try to coax her.
But when he saw the rebellious look in her eyes, he couldn't help but get angry and embarrassed.
He changed his mind.
"How dare you say that? As a servant, you should take good care of your master when he is unwell, and you should also do your best to persuade your master when he makes a mistake.
You, on the other hand, are content to let her serve you as your master, and yet you allow her to contradict me?"
He turned around and directed his anger at Liu Zhiyi.
She has always cared about this maid.
He was so determined today, he wanted to see if she would compromise this time.
Shen Ningzhu's delicate eyebrows furrowed.
"What does this have to do with her? Xiaoyi, you're trying to piss me off, aren't you? Get up quickly."
He's a bastard and doesn't deserve Xiaoyi's plea.
"How can it not be her fault? In my opinion, this lowly maid is the one who instigated you to go crazy like this today. Come, take this ignorant servant away and sentence her to death."
Liu Zhiyi: ...
Chen Ningzhu: ...stay where you are.
This damn man really refreshes her cognition all the time.
She walked up to him coldly and looked up at him.
"Jiang Xuanyan, you are the crown prince. Do you really want to take human life so irrationally? Why involve others in our affairs? Let Xiaoyi go."
"The royal family loves to punish others, don't you know?"
"Chen Ningzhu, haven't you heard that a king's rage can lead to the death of millions and the flow of blood for thousands of miles? You also said that I am the crown prince, so why would I need to kill a slave?"
…
Resisting the urge to tear the coffin face apart, he said calmly,
"Tell me, what will it take for you to let Xiaoyi go?"
Shen Ningzhu’s voice was hoarse.
The corners of his lips curled up in a self-deprecating arc.
Seeing her like this, Liu Zhiyi felt as if something was blocking his chest, making him feel uncomfortable and unable to breathe.
"Zhuzhu~~~"
Shen Ningzhu turned her head and smiled at her comfortingly.
It’s almost time, just this once, but she probably won’t be able to wait for Song Hanchuan to bring the medicine to make her childless tonight.
It’s a pity that this bastard had to suffer for one more day.
Never mind, I’ll just find another chance to get it tomorrow.
"Jiang Xuanyan, I was wrong. I'll go back with you. Please let Xiaoyi go."
"Do you really know you're wrong?"
"Yes, I promise, this will never happen again, please."
Jiang Xuanyan didn't intend to let her go just like that.
"Chen Ningzhu, anyone who provokes me will pay the price. Do you think that if you just admit your mistake so casually, I will pretend nothing happened?"
"Am I such an easy-going person?"
"Then what do you want?" Shen Ningzhu said calmly.
Jiang Xuanyan bent down, put his hand close to her white and tender earlobe, and exhaled cool and hot air.
"It's very simple. If she pleases me, and I'm satisfied, I'll spare her life. It's not impossible."
Chen Ningzhu clenched her back teeth tightly and forced a smile. "Okay, let's go back to the main courtyard. I'll be at your disposal then."
Jiang Xuanyan stood still.
He did this on purpose, making her wag her tail and beg for mercy in front of Xiaoyi like a pug.
In order to tear off her face and crush her pride, he wanted to satisfy his sense of superiority.
But she just didn't follow his wishes.
She used her bare fingers to untie the straps of her cloak, letting it fall to her ankles. She stretched out her arms and waved them around him, her well-proportioned, jade-white feet slowly drawing circles, spinning, and jumping.
The mud and water on the ground splashed as she moved.
Jiang Xuanyan's pupils shrank.
She actually...danced striptease for him.
For some reason, Jiang Xuanyan suddenly felt his heart beating fast, as if something important was about to leave him.
He looked up and met Shen Ningzhu's exquisitely curved fox eyes. They were clearly dancing erotically, but when those beautiful eyes looked at him, they were filled with murderous intent that could not be hidden.
She wanted to kill him.
From childhood to adulthood, everyone wanted him dead.
In the past, she was the only exception, but now even she has become like this?
My heart was filled with anger and unknown emotions, and the raging rage rushed straight to the top of my head.
"That's enough—"
Jiang Xuanyan roared, "I give you one stick of incense to pack up and get back to the main courtyard."
After saying that, he strode away.
After taking a few steps, he ran into Jiang Qingyi who was rushing over. His brows furrowed, "Why are you here?"
Jiang Qingyi held up her skirt with both hands, and a maid was holding a big umbrella for her so that she wouldn't get wet in the rain.
Behind her were several maids holding palace lanterns for lighting.
At this moment, she looked worried.
"It was thundering today and I couldn't sleep, so I was just thinking of coming to your yard to see if you were okay."
Jiang Xuanyan's eyes gradually softened.
From childhood to adulthood, only Jiang Qingyi knew that he was actually most afraid of thunder. Whenever he encountered thunder, he would have a splitting headache, sweat all over his body, and become manic and restless.
"I'm fine. Take care of yourself and don't catch a cold."
Jiang Qingyi shook her head.
"Just when I got there, the servants said you came to the abandoned courtyard in a rage. I was afraid of your stubborn temper. If you had another unpleasant experience with Miss Shen, I was worried, so I came to check on you."
After saying this, he walked past Jiang Xuanyan.
Quickly came in front of Chen Ningzhu.
He looked her up and down carefully for a moment, then took her hand with a look of pity in his eyes, his tone filled with a sense of disappointment.
“Miss Shen, don’t be angry.”
"Ayan is just like that. He's a bit taciturn, speaks bluntly, and doesn't understand romance, but I'm sure he truly loves you."
Shen Ningzhu's face fell and he slowly clenched his fists.
