Um
I nodded.
My intuition tells me that Ji Ruchen is hiding a lot from me. That dream was a memory I had lost. It wasn't a dream; it was something that actually happened. No wonder Butler Fei kept staring at my legs that day.
Looking at my perfectly intact legs, I couldn't believe it. My mind was in turmoil. How did all of this happen?
No, I have to figure this out. I told myself to stay calm, not to panic, and to deal with the immediate situation first.
"Xiao Qing, where is this? Is this the Crown Prince's residence? How did I get here? What happened after I was drugged by Madam Qiu? How did you find me?"
"This is one of His Highness the Crown Prince's villas. Yesterday, you were almost sold to Chenghualou by Madam Qiu. It was His Highness the Crown Prince who led people to rescue you from Chenghualou."
After I picked up the young master yesterday, I went to the place we agreed to meet to find you, but I didn't see you. I asked the owner of the wonton stall, and he said that you saw a handsome young man in yellow clothes and ran away, and even lost your veil.
I was afraid something might have happened to you, so I went back to find the second young master. He didn't believe me and thought you were playing a trick on him again. After drinking at the brothel, you went to the teahouse to listen to storytelling.
I was all alone and really didn't know what to do, so I went to find His Highness the Crown Prince. But he was busy and the guards wouldn't let me see him. I told the young master to go back and inform the master while I waited for His Highness the Crown Prince to finish his business. Later, I was so anxious that I rushed in. Only then did His Highness the Crown Prince bring people to find you.
Later, I found you at the City Painting Building. You were unconscious and having nightmares. Thankfully, all of that is over now. As long as you're alright, that's all that matters. I will make those who bullied you pay the price.
The matter is over, and I don't want to think about it anymore. How could I, a mere commoner, possibly fight against a prince? I just didn't expect that Madam Qiu to be so ruthless. Why do women have to make things difficult for each other?
Thankfully nothing happened, otherwise I might not have survived. Although I'm not some chaste and virtuous woman, if I had been violated for no reason, then I'm afraid I would have truly lost my chance with Ji Ruchen.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely avenge myself. You should go and let my father know you're safe. I don't think you've told him about this."
Xiao Qing shook her head. I gave her a few more instructions and then sent her away. Ji Ruchen slept for two hours before finally waking up.
I demanded that he tell me what had happened in the past six months, why he cut off my legs after marrying Princess Anguo, why I returned to Jingjia Village, and why my legs were regained and I even gained a beautiful face.
He said that I hit the pillar in remorse that day, and he stepped in front of it to block me, but I still managed to break my head.
Fortunately, it wasn't fatal. He stayed by my bedside without changing his clothes, as if he were going crazy. One night, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. When he saw me, he felt an uncontrollable hatred. Later, he seemed to be imprisoned, his body out of control. I don't know why, but he cut off my legs and slowly reached for my neck. He was very anxious, but he couldn't control himself and watched helplessly as his hand reached for my neck.
Later, I don't know how he recovered. In the following days, whenever he saw me, he wanted to strangle me. He was afraid that he would go crazy again. Besides, he had already married Princess Anguo, so he sent me back to Jingjia Village and notified my father to take care of me.
