Chapter 181 Retribution

Xu Wanxin came out of Prince Jing's Mansion.

It was late spring, but she was still wearing a mask. With only a maid by her side, she lowered her head and got into the carriage, telling the driver to go back home.

Prince Jing was in a bad mood.

There are more ways to torment people.

Xu Wanxin only hated Xiao Xun for being useless. He couldn't even keep the assassination a secret, and was actually caught by Pei Jian. He was also confined by the emperor because of it.

The implicated Duke Fuguo was also reprimanded and punished by His Majesty for the crime of shielding the criminal.

Nowadays, people in the streets are talking about it, saying that although His Majesty has not said it explicitly, the mastermind behind the assassination of Princess Wenshu is most likely Prince Jing.

Xu Wanxin has paid so much, but has not yet gotten what she wants. If Prince Jing falls, then everything she has done before will be in vain.

She went to Prince Jing's mansion to inquire, but was pressed down on the table by Xiao Xun to vent his anger, like the lowest class prostitute, with no dignity at all.

Afterwards——

Xiao Xun pulled up his trousers, looked down at her, and said coldly, "Go back and wait. This king will not fall down."

Xu Wanxin sat in the carriage on the way back home, feeling very confused.

She wanted Pei Jian's love, but Pei Jian broke her heart.

So she attached herself to Prince Jing, intending to take revenge, but after going around in circles for so long, she almost lost track of her original intention.

She thought Pei Jian didn't know how to cherish her, but in fact, she didn't even cherish herself.

Just as she was feeling sad, the car suddenly stopped and Xu Wanxin was nearly thrown out.

The driver's fearful voice came from outside the carriage, "My lady, the wheel seems to be cracked, please sit on the horse and wait for a while."

Afterwards, the driver got off the carriage. Xu Wanxin felt impatient and sat in the carriage with a sullen face, without even opening the curtain to look.

Not long after, the driver came back and said, "Miss, it's done."

Xu Wanxin was thinking about something and didn't notice that the driver's tone was wrong. She just said "hmm" in response.

The carriage started moving again, and after an unknown amount of time, Xu Wanxin suddenly came to her senses and noticed something strange.

If it were in the past, I would have returned home by now. Why did it take me so long today?

“Stop!”

As she spoke, she lifted the curtain and looked outside. There was only a vast expanse of green countryside. Where was the bustling capital?

Xu Wanxin was suddenly shocked.

"Zhu Gui, stop the car!"

However, the carriage did not slow down and showed no intention of stopping.

Xu Wanxin signaled the maid to open the door. Two burly men were now sitting in the seat that was originally occupied by the coachman Zhu Gui.

Seeing the car door open, one of the men stood up and walked into the car. Before she could scream, he stabbed her with his hand. In an instant, Xu Wanxin lost consciousness and fell into chaos and darkness.

When she woke up again, she didn't know how much time had passed. She was thrown into an abandoned and dilapidated temple, where the colorfully painted statues looked down at the people with pity.

Her clothes were still on, but her hands were tied behind her back, and she looked weak and powerless.

There is no way to escape.

Where is this?

Who arrested her?

She is just a weak woman who is powerless. Who would go to so much trouble to capture her and what would they do with her?

After a moment, a tall man came in from outside. Their eyes met. Seeing that she was awake, he chuckled and shouted to the outside, "Brother Luo, she's awake."

Xu Wanxin's heart was beating fast. She didn't know what these people were going to do. The unknown represented fear.

When seven or eight strong men came in at once and surrounded her, Xu Wanxin could no longer keep her composure and trembled like a sieve. "Do you know who I am?"

"If you dare to catch me, my father will make sure you die miserably!"

The man who had hit her with a knife slowly walked over, squatted down, pinched her chin with two fingers, and forced her to look up. "Miss, you have to take responsibility for what you did."

His voice was low and dangerous, and his little finger slowly stroked her neck, bringing a shudder to her. "Someone asked me to ask you, have you done anything shameful recently?"

For some reason, Xu Wanxin thought of Nianxi.

Some time ago, she had been waiting for something good to happen. With Fang Hongxi's personality, it made no sense for him to do nothing, but Wen Nianxi didn't go out much, and there was no bad news.

She stared at the man in front of her, and slowly a plan came into her mind.

"I don't know what you are talking about." Xu Wanxin said as calmly as possible.

"Brother Luo, this woman is so stubborn, she won't be honest unless you poke her," a man with droopy eyes behind him said as he touched his lower body with a lewd smile, "I'll teach her a lesson for Brother Luo!"

Laughter broke out.

The obscene and aggressive laughter of men filled the entire temple.

The statue looks sad and indifferent.

Those creepy looks are enough to make any woman collapse.

However, this is not the most fatal thing.

The man standing in front of Xu Wanxin and called Luo Ge really gave up his position and said with a smile, "Lu Biao, don't hurt him."

The men were excited.

Especially the one called Lu Biao. When he took two steps towards her, Xu Wanxin only felt a foul stench coming towards her. The blood in her body rushed to her head. She couldn't help but lower her head and vomit.

Her hands were tied behind her back, and someone was pinching her neck. Her body was twisted in an abnormal position, and she couldn't pull her hands out at all. Instead, she was pushed forward.

"Don't worry, there's food for you."

There was another burst of laughter.

Xu Wanxin looked at the thing right in front of her and could no longer hold back. She resisted violently with her whole body shaking. The great humiliation made her collapse. She struggled hard, trying to break free from the hands that were clamped around her neck.

"Get out! Get out!"

However, the collapse did not earn her any mercy.

She was surrounded and humiliated by a group of men, but her anger and screams only made them more excited.

It is very easy for a few grown men to bully a woman.

Xu Wanxin was pinched on both cheeks, forcing her to open her mouth. She couldn't move at all and couldn't help crying, "Wen Nianxi, if you have the guts, come out! Wen Nianxi, I know it's you."

"You want revenge on me!"

She closed her eyes and cried. After a while, she realized that the restraints on her body were loosened. She finally opened her eyes after escaping death.

What she saw was a handsome young man, standing with his hands behind his back, looking down at her lying on the ground.

He was dressed in red, with a very handsome face and a naturally reserved and cold demeanor, which was out of place in this dilapidated temple. Yet, he looked like a living Buddha, looking down upon all living beings.

Xu Wanxin didn't know who he was, but a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart.

Then, she heard the boy's thin lips open, "Are you scared?"

Xu Wanxin's tears welled up in her eyes. She could hardly make any sound and could only nod continuously.

"Desperate?"

"Did you want to die at that moment?"

Xu Wanxin paused, looking at the young man in front of her with tears in her eyes, and the fear in her heart suddenly doubled.

He was not the Buddha who came to save her, he was a ghost from the eighteen levels of hell who came to claim her life.

"How does it taste?"

Zhou Yanli did that just to test her, but the moment Xu Wanxin said Nianxi's name, everything became clear.

It was indeed Xu Wanxin who instigated and fanned the flames.

How could he let the person who bullied Nianxi get away with it?

"When you instigated Fang Hongxi to bully your sister, did you ever think that this day would come for you?"
