A hatred that reaches to the heavens and penetrates to the bone.
From then on, she was completely locked up, her feet were chained, and she could only move around in this room. The key was in Wen Zhixuan's hands.
Even washing up and bathing, she needs to be carried by him.
She lived like a walking corpse.
Gradually, she stopped resisting and became numbly compliant.
Wen Zhixuan was both happy and unhappy.
His beloved was in his arms, yet he couldn't hold onto her. Only during brief moments of intimacy in bed could he feel her heartbeat.
Jiang Shuman did not accept her fate.
She was just waiting.
Waiting for the right opportunity.
Soon, she got her wish.
Wen Zhixuan brought her some good news.
"Your second brother is still alive; he's back."
Jiang Shuman showed a long-lost smile and even poured him a drink.
Wen Zhixuan embraced her tenderly and said softly, "Manman, wait a little longer. Soon I will be able to marry you openly and honorably."
Something must have happened to the eldest princess!
The thought crossed Jiang Shuman's mind, but she remained outwardly calm. As they whispered sweet nothings in each other's ears, she plunged the hook of the bed curtains into his throat.
He took away all the sharp objects in the room, including hairpins.
The only thing overlooked was the bed curtain hooks.
The pain jolted Wen Zhixuan, who was immersed in pleasure, awake. He instinctively threw the woman on top of him to the ground, clutching his bleeding wound and looking at her in disbelief.
That stab was extremely vicious.
Unfortunately, she had been imprisoned for too long, and her strength and speed were no longer what they used to be.
Wen Zhixuan reacted too quickly.
He survived in the end.
He still couldn't bear to part with Jiang Shuman, so he bound her hands as well, making it so that she would have to be fed. Most of the time, Wen Zhixuan would do it himself.
Jiang Shuman disgusted him, so he decided to seize all her freedom and vitality.
Unable to avenge herself, Jiang Shuman did not want to become this man's possession.
She wanted to die.
But when a person is completely controlled, even suicide becomes a luxury.
She began a hunger strike.
In front of her, Wen Zhixuan beat the maid who had always served her to death, and said gently in her ear: "A servant who cannot serve his master well has no value in living. He might as well ascend to the Pure Land and perhaps be reborn as a master in the next life. Manman, this is all your merit."
Jiang Shuman felt a chill run through his body.
He was very good at manipulating her.
For example, Jiang Yiqing!
Those were her only remaining close relatives.
Wen Zhixuan is simply a devil; beneath his gentle and refined exterior lies cruelty and ruthlessness.
There's nothing he wouldn't dare to do, only things others haven't thought of.
Jiang Shuman was imprisoned for a long time, so long that she forgot about time.
Wen Zhixuan embraced her affectionately, telling her news in a lover's murmur.
The prince associated with demons and eventually became an evil spirit, and has been burned at the stake.
The eldest princess was reprimanded for pleading for the crown prince.
The Empress was placed under house arrest and confined to the Ju Palace.
Gu Jinchuan submitted a memorial to the throne and was subsequently confined to his home.
Princess Huaiyang is dead.
Lu Yanhe also died.
Jiang Shuman was tormented by these messages day after day, and finally fell ill.
When she woke up, Wen Zhixuan happily told her that she was pregnant.
a bolt from the blue!
Jiang Shuman is almost insane.
Wen Zhixuan used a calming talisman on her.
She briefly forgot her hatred.
Wen Zhixuan has rebelled.
Jiang Shuman met someone.
Shen Zhixian.
She hadn't seen this person for many years.
Wen Zhixuan's desire to control Jiang Shuman had reached a perverse level; he had even set up formations around her. However, Shen Zhixian held a different meaning for Wen Zhixuan.
She understands him, comprehends him, and approves of him.
They also have a child.
He even taught Shen Zhixian some simple formations.
That's exactly where it came in handy.
Shen Zhixian's gaze fell on Jiang Shuman's slightly protruding belly, her eyes flashing with jealousy and hatred, but she spoke.
"Jiang Shuman, you're so pitiful."
Jiang Shuman looked at her blankly.
She used to be high above, always passionate and bright.
Now she is locked in this small attic by a man, becoming his plaything.
If this man wasn't Wen Zhixuan, Shen Zhixian would have burst out laughing.
It just so happens to be Wen Zhixuan!
"Your younger brother, Jiang Yiqing, is dead."
Jiang Shuman's pupils widened, and her whole body trembled.
Shen Zhixian tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, smiling gently, "He found out your whereabouts and conspired with Gu Jinchuan to try and get His Majesty to intervene. The moment the palace gates closed, a hail of arrows rained down. Tsk, I heard he wasn't dead, but was ultimately torn apart by five horses. The culprit..."
She leaned close to Jiang Shuman's ear and said, word by word, "It's the person next to you in bed."
Jiang Shuman's eyes were bloodshot, and he wanted to strangle her, but his hands and feet were locked, and any movement made a rattling sound.
Shen Zhixian's resentment and anger, which had been suppressed in her youth, were finally redeemed at this moment.
She covered her lips and laughed unrestrainedly.
"You've finally met your match, that's satisfying."
"Let me tell you something else. The mastermind behind the witchcraft case at Princess Huyang's residence back then wasn't my mother, but... the father of the child in your womb." She spoke slowly, word by word, gradually shattering Jiang Shuman's heart.
“My mother is stupid. With just a few hints or a handle, she could rush out and become that knife.”
"That bastard child born to Qin Shi doesn't even have the surname Jiang. Oh, by the way, he died a long time ago. The current heir of the Duke of Anguo's mansion is my son, the child of me and Zhixuan."
At this point, Shen Zhixian's face was full of resentment. "I had a child out of wedlock, but Xiao Yinghuai broke us up and gave that bitch Xiao Yumo to him. She deserves to die! Do you know? I used the torture of shaving and grooming on her, scraping all the skin off her body, leaving not a single inch. Those terrified eyes of hers are truly unforgettable."
