Chapter 174: Madness

Under Xu Wanxin's "encouragement", Fang Hongxi did not leave Beijing immediately.

Anyway, that woman caught his eye, and he could not forget her since the first time he saw her when he arrived in the capital.

He couldn't get it, and his heart and the thing under his body could never be at peace.

But Fang Hongxi was not completely stupid and did not just rely on Xu Wanxin's one-sided words. Prince Jing said that he could not touch that woman, so he still had some credibility.

But who is his father? He is the local tyrant of Shaanxi. Fang Hongxi can have any kind of woman he wants. It is not his style to be obsessed with her like this.

No matter how deep the water is in Beijing, his father can protect him!

After thinking this through, Fang Hongxi stayed in Beijing for a few more days and asked his servants to find out Wen Nianxi's itinerary. Knowing that she had guards, Fang Hongxi also emphasized that they should not make any surprises.

But he raped a woman and left her alone without telling anyone afterwards.

In this kind of situation, it is the women who suffer the most.

If Wen Nianxi stays with Lu Wensheng, she will only be more cautious.

Fang Hongxi stared straight at the bare-breasted woman in front of him, imagining her as Wen Nianxi, like a wolf staring at a lamb, his eyes fixed on her without blinking, not disguising the desire and evil in his heart.

Then he suddenly threw the man to the ground.

Maybe by the time he takes Wen Nianxi, she will know what manliness is and may even go back to Shaanxi with him.

In order to keep his actions secret, Fang Hongxi spent his days in a place where he was surrounded by his good friends. Everyone in the capital thought he had returned to Shaanxi, and no one cared about him except Xu Wanxin.

In addition to inquiring about what's going on with Wen Nianxi every day, Xu Wanxin herself is also busy.

That day, she went to the inner house of Prince Jing's mansion to visit her cousin Xun.

Previously, Xun Shuling regarded her as her life-saving straw and was always happy and excited every time she saw her. But now, her dear cousin Xun wanted to eat her flesh alive and drink her blood.

I no longer have a good face when I see her.

But what does that matter?

Xu Wanxin smiled softly, walked in leisurely from outside, and asked concernedly, "Cousin, are you feeling better today?"

Xun Shuling is naturally not good.

Not only was her health not good, but her body was getting weaker day by day. From the time she had a miscarriage a few years ago to now, only half a year had passed, and she was so thin that only a bag of bones remained. Her face was as pale as earth, and her eyes were sunken. At first glance, she did not look like a living being.

Compared with the graceful Xu Wanxin with her red lips and white teeth, she is even more disgusting.

"Cousin, why don't you take care of yourself? I haven't seen you for a few days, and you look much older. How can I be at ease?"

Just now, Xu Wanxin asked for a meeting outside the courtyard, and Xun Shuling clearly told the servants not to let her in, but not only did she come, she also stood so openly beside her bed.

Xun Shuling couldn't catch her breath and kept coughing loudly.

Xu Wanxin waited for her coughing to subside before turning to Xun Shuling's personal maid and said, "The princess is coughing like this, how can you not feel sorry for her at all? Why don't you go and pour a cup of hot tea for the princess to moisten her lungs."

The maid who had been as motionless as a dead person before now came alive and actually poured a cup of boiling tea for Xun Shuling.

Xun Shuling refused to take it, so the maid forced it into her hands. Xun Shuling had been ill for a long time and had no strength left, so the cup of water spilled all over the bed.

"You...you..."

Xun Shuling's eyes were bloodshot and she was gasping for breath. "You will definitely be punished."

"Retribution?"

Xu Wanxin smiled softly, with a hint of sadness on her face. "I took care of my cousin out of kindness, and it's fine if she didn't appreciate it, but why did she curse me out of nothing? It's really sad."

"Do you think you can get rich overnight just by climbing into their bed?"

Xun Shuling gasped for air and stared at Xu Wanxin's hypocritical face without blinking, "It's just a piece of trash."

"Who is Xiao Xun? He is a heartless person. You have been with him for more than a month, right? How come you still don't have a formal status? If you want to come to Prince Jing's mansion, you have to come under the name of visiting me, a useless princess."

Xun Shuling looked at Xu Wanxin's face which turned from red to white and then to blue, and smiled happily, "What did you get?"

"cousin."

When people are pushed into desperate situations, they always become clear-headed. Xun Shuling knew that she was dying, and the only thing she was thankful for was that her poor, destined-to-be child had passed away first, and she didn't have to suffer alone in this world.

As for Xu Wanxin, she just watched coldly and saw how miserable her end would be.

Xu Wanxin was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. She was no longer respectful and gentle. "Cousin, don't you understand? I have my eyes on your current position, so when you pass away, I will get everything."

She sat in front of the couch, speaking softly yet sinisterly, "Originally I didn't want to kill my cousin, but you're such a loser, lying on the couch all day feeling sad and depressed, without any intention of making progress. Wen Nianxi hurt you to this point, but you didn't even fight back."

"You're useless."

"So I have no choice but to help you fulfill this wish."

"Cousin, please rest assured. I will sit in the position of Princess Jing and avenge you. You can go with peace of mind."

After saying that, she turned her head and looked at the maid. Her voice was no longer artificially gentle, and she asked sinisterly, "Where is my cousin's medicine? Bring it up."

"We are sisters, and I personally helped my cousin with her medication."

Xun Shuling's face became increasingly gloomy, "Xu Wanxin, you will not die well!"

"You're going to die a miserable death?" Xu Wanxin smiled. "Cousin, please stop talking about yourself like that. It's really creepy. Well, this medicine will only make you feel painful for a while, and you'll be relieved in a little while."

No matter how desperate a person is, at the critical moment of life and death, he would seek life rather than death.

Xun Shuling refused to drink.

Xu Wanxin frowned and winked at the maid, asking her to hold the man while she poured the medicine into the patient herself.

The maid was timid to the end. Even though Xu Wanxin promised her a large sum of money, she was still so scared that her hands were shaking for trying to kill her master, and she spilled more than half of the bowl of thick black soup.

"Waste!"

Xu Wanxin cursed and personally pinched Xun Shuling's jaw, forcing her to open her mouth and pour the remaining half bowl of liquid into her.

…

Nianxi has been busy preparing for the new school recently.

Jufan Academy is always a place for men to study. But because of Cuilian, Nianxi realized that there are not only men in this world, but women need such a place more. It can give them a chance, a chance to choose their own life.

It is not necessary to study.

But there is a means of making a living.

It can enable them to no longer rely solely on men for survival. Without their father, husband, or son, women can support themselves with their own hands and live a decent life.

But this was just a vague idea.

The Three Obediences and Four Virtues have been passed down for thousands of years, but her idea is somewhat beyond the norm and even goes against the grain.

There are so many things to deal with, and we need to come up with a plan. Madam Chengjing said that this school is her "Six Diseases Hall", and it would be a great merit if it is well managed.

Nian Xi never thought about any merits, she just respected her heart and wanted to do something.

That day she was busy with the school's invitation to teachers. He Hua came in from outside, hesitatingly saying that she had something to tell her.

Lotus is Cui Lian's first friend in Liuji and the second student taught by Nianxi. She has been with Nianxi for a long time and is a girl who comes from a poor family but is very motivated.

"What's the matter?" Nian Xi asked gently.

"I want to talk to you alone, is that okay?" He Hua was a little nervous and didn't even dare to raise her head.

Without waiting for Nianxi to respond, she asked again, "Can we go to the school?"

Lotus swallowed her saliva and said with some difficulty, "It's clean there."

Nian Xi thought she had some unspeakable secrets and did not suspect anything, "Okay."

The school has not been officially named yet, and everyone just calls it that. It is adjacent to the Six Diseases Hall. Now the whole building has been built, the windows are bright and clean, and we just need to move in the desks and chairs, and we can start classes at any time.

Taking into consideration that what Hehua wanted to say involved privacy, otherwise she would not go to the school where there were so few people, Nianxi did not let Xingyue and the others follow.

Cui Lian, on the other hand, was usually very attentive. As long as Nian Xi was around, she would always follow her around, so she would follow her.

The three of them came to the school together.
