Chapter 281: Enemies Meet Again
The lights in the room were dim. Song Wan'er was shocked and turned around to open the door and escape before she could even see the face opposite her.
She was an unmarried girl, and there were only maids and nannies serving her in the yard. Her brother also did not allow men to approach her at will.
This person came at night and appeared in her house, so he must have had bad intentions.
But the man was one step ahead of Song Wan'er and pressed the door shut. His tall body also moved closer, completely enveloping Song Wan'er.
Song Wan'er was so frightened that she almost jumped up. She closed her eyes and said urgently, "Don't, don't touch me! Just tell me how much silver you want, and my brother will definitely give it to you. Don't hurt me!"
Without waiting for the other party to speak, she continued: "If you like anything in my room, just take it away. I don't know what you look like with my eyes closed, and I won't report you to the police afterwards. Don't kill me—"
In Miss Song's past experience, the people who came to her were all after the Song family's money.
This time will certainly be no exception.
But the villain who broke into Song’s house tonight was a little strange. He didn’t say a word the whole time.
Song Wan'er was trapped between his arms and the door panel, and the oppression was so strong that she almost couldn't breathe.
Moreover, this bad guy smelled of alcohol, which was the same as the fine wine Song Wan'er drank at the night banquet in the palace.
Chunzhi said that she had a low alcohol tolerance and forbade her to drink too much, so Song Wan'er only took two sips, and even after returning to the Song residence, she was still thinking about the contents of the cup.
The villain who suddenly appeared in her room also smelled of alcohol.
But she still didn't dare open her eyes.
They were afraid that if they saw the other person's face clearly, they would be killed to silence them.
The man looked down at her and said in a sinister voice, "Is there anything in this room that is more valuable than you?"
Song Wan'er was even more frightened. "I, I am very valuable, but didn't you capture me just to exchange for money? Then why didn't you take the money from the beginning?"
The man scoffed. "What a twisted theory."
"Yes...it's right." Song Wan'er shuddered. "Good man, good man, spare my life. I haven't reached marriage age yet, I'm still young, I don't want to die..."
She has the best brother in the world, such a good sister, and everything good in the world, but she hasn't lived enough.
The man pinched Song Wan'er's jaw with one hand, "You are so afraid of death, and you still dare to provoke me. You dared to harm me in the past, and you thought of this day!"
"Why did you think of today?" Song Wan'er was very uncomfortable with his pinch. "I don't know what you are talking about? I——"
The man said, "Open your eyes and look at me, and everything will become clear."
"No, I won't look." Song Wan'er closed her eyes tighter. "If I see what you look like, you will definitely kill me to silence me."
The man snorted softly, "That's a smart move now."
Song Wan'er immediately added, "My brother is rich, and my sister is the Princess of Chang'an. Just tell me what you want. If I have anything, I will definitely give it to you. Please don't kill me..."
"I don't want anything else," the man said. "I just want your life."
"Why do you want to kill me?" Song Wan'er really didn't understand why this person had to do such a self-defeating thing. She cried, "How did I offend you? You insist on killing me! Can't we discuss this matter properly..."
The man stopped talking nonsense with her and said coldly, "Open your eyes."
Song Wan'er said, "I won't open my eyes."
The man whispered a threat, "If you don't open your eyes, I will kill you right now."
"No, no, no..." Song Wan'er made a bitter face and slowly opened her eyes. She looked at the fierce face of the man in front of her and paused, "Jiang San! I knew it was you!"
She had already closed her eyes and didn't look at him, but still ended up in this situation.
It is true that enemies always meet.
Jiang Hao raised his lip slightly when he heard her say this. "Why? You also know that you hurt me, and I will definitely come to you to collect this debt?"
Song Wan'er raised her hand to pry open the other person's hand that was pinching her jaw, and said angrily: "How can it be said that I harmed you? It was clearly me who helped you!"
"You help me?" Jiang Hao was so angry that he laughed. She actually said that.
Song Wan'er had recovered a lot from her initial extreme panic. She knew that Jiang San had now surrendered to the imperial court and had joined the Prince of Chang'an in driving the Xiling people out of the Daxing territory. This man had already turned to the light.
Even if he came to seek revenge on her, at most he would beat her up and stab her twice, but he would not really take her life.
Killing someone in the capital, and the person killed was the sister of Princess Chang'an, which would do more harm than good to Jiang San's future career.
Song Wan'er thought about this and bravely said to him, "If it weren't for me, why would Sister Chunzhi have sent you to Xizhou? If you hadn't gone to Xizhou, how could you have killed the rebel leader, turned from evil to good, and surrendered to the court? If you hadn't surrendered to the court, how could you have achieved such great military achievements and returned to the capital to receive an honor?"
The more Song Wan'er spoke, the more she felt she was right, and her chest puffed up.
Jiang Hao sneered, "So, I should thank you?"
"Logically speaking, that's right." Song Wan'er glanced at Jiang San's face and immediately said, "But you're not a reasonable person either, so forget about thanking me."
When Jiang Hao heard this, he raised his right hand.
"Don't... don't hit me in the face." Song Wan'er thought Jiang San was going to hit her to vent his anger, so she immediately put her hands on her head. "I'm going to be married tomorrow, and I can't appear in front of people with a bruised face. If you really want to hit me, then hit me..."
Song Wan'er said this, turning around and facing Jiang San with her butt.
Although it is embarrassing to be butted by someone at such a age, it is better than getting a bruise on the face and becoming the laughing stock of everyone at the coming-of-age ceremony.
Jiang Hao laughed in anger and pulled Song Wan'er around, "Who wants to hit you there?"
"Then..." Song Wan'er whispered, "It would be best if we could avoid fighting."
Jiang Hao looked down at Song Wan'er and said coldly, "When I hit people, I like to hit them in the face."
"No." Song Wan'er wanted to struggle again.
She said to Jiang San, "I didn't mean to harm you back then. It was you who was plotting to take the Song family's wealth and deliberately approached me first. And I followed you out of the city that time because I wanted to give you the antidote. It was you who..."
"Shut up."
Jiang Hao felt like there was something stuck in his throat whenever he thought of that day.
He planned carefully and meticulously, but he was defeated by the unintentional action of the fool Song Wan'er.
It is truly the shame of his life.
When he couldn't see Song Wan'er, he gritted his teeth at the thought of this person. When he saw her at the palace's night banquet today and saw that she and Shao Feiyang hit it off and had a great conversation, he became even angrier.
"If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me." Song Wan'er whispered, "Don't be so fierce."
Jiang Hao took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to strangle Song Wan'er.
"I know you're angry, but try to think positively." Song Wan'er secretly observed Jiang San's expression. "Meeting me is a blessing in disguise, a stroke of luck, isn't it? Why don't we just put aside our grudges and be friends from now on!"
