Chapter 5 The Truth Hidden in the Prince's Mansion



"How dare you!"

"I'm going to be presumptuous!" Su Wanyan insisted that he lie on his side. Because he was paralyzed from the waist down, she even positioned his legs in a comfortable position, angrily repeating as she moved them, "I'm going to be presumptuous! I'm going to be presumptuous! I'm going to be presumptuous! Go ahead and kill me if you dare!"

"You!" Yu Nanqing had never seen such a shameless person before, and he was so angry that his teeth were grinding together.

Because of all the fiddling, the wedding dress covering Yu Nanqing was also in disarray. Su Wanyan grabbed it with both hands and swung it around. Yu Nanqing completely lost his composure, his face suddenly darkened, and in the blink of an eye, he turned red with anger, gritting his teeth: "Su, Wan, Yan!"

The wedding dress had just been neatly arranged to cover Yu Nanqing when Su Wanyan ran out as if fleeing: "Bye-bye!"

"..." Yu Nanqing felt a surge of anger rising in her chest, her fists clenched tightly.

However, as that figure disappeared through the doorway, his angry eyes flashed darkly again, and his pale lips pressed tightly together, leaving him speechless.

Su Wanyan actually wanted to go out to find something to eat; she was both hungry and tired after a busy night.

But as she left the courtyard, she belatedly realized that she had killed someone on her wedding night!

Although the people who were supposed to arrest her last night have left, will the people in the manor treat her as a murderer and avoid her like the plague, even refusing to give her food?

However, as long as she says that Yu Nanqing wants to eat it, there shouldn't be a problem, right?

Last night's situation was out of her control. She didn't even see what the person looked like before she attacked him. After the attack, she was busy running away. In addition, she was studying medicine and had taken many anatomy classes, so the sensation was no different from when she was disemboweling someone.

So much so that she still doesn't have any real feeling about it.

Feeling guilty, she walked furtively through the courtyard of the Prince's mansion, afraid of being captured.

She walked for a long time but still couldn't find the kitchen.

Moreover, the Prince's mansion was particularly large and spacious, and because of the wedding, the red lanterns hanging everywhere had not yet been taken down.

In the large courtyard, a few servants would come and go from time to time, along with the guards who stood motionless on duty.

Just as she saw a lake in front of her, Su Wanyan knew she was completely lost.

Just as I was hesitating whether to ask someone for directions, a maid's voice rang out: "Have you heard? The newly arrived princess killed someone last night!"

Su Wanyan was startled and quickly hid behind the artificial hill.

"How could we not have heard about such a big incident? Not only did they kill someone, but they also broke into that good-for-nothing prince's main courtyard. Last night, there was quite a commotion; the palace guards commander searched the entire place."

Su Wanyan frowned immediately. A useless prince? She was referring to Yu Nanqing?

How dare they, mere servants, speak such words to their masters?

"Pfft!" Another maid sneered, "That main courtyard stinks so badly that even we don't dare go near it. It's full of excrement and urine, it's disgusting and makes you want to vomit. How could she dare to go in? Was she out of her mind?"

"She is, after all, a princess, and she married into the Marquis of Yuanning's household. We don't even know what kind of person she is yet. Don't speak recklessly, or you'll get yourself into trouble."

"What trouble could this cause? Marrying a cripple, unable to walk, unable to jump, unable to have sex, just lying there waiting to die every day, unable to eat, drink, or relieve herself. Besides, look at the stench in the main courtyard, and that good-for-nothing has a bad temper. Maybe that princess has already hanged herself with a white silk ribbon."

"Or he was arrested by the commander of the guards last night as a murderer and taken to the palace, or he was tortured to death by that good-for-nothing."

At this point, the two maids covered their mouths with schadenfreude, laughing as they said, "That's right. If Marquis Yuanning really cared about his daughter, he wouldn't have let her marry such a good-for-nothing who's just waiting to die. Look, it's already past noon, and there's still no sign of anything. He must have already..."

After saying that, the two of them covered their mouths and chuckled again, completely taking Yu Nanqing and Su Wanyan as a source of amusement.

Su Wanyan couldn't stand it any longer and jumped out from behind the artificial hill, calling out to them, "Hey! You two!"

The two maids stopped in their tracks, and as soon as they turned around, two loud "slaps" were heard. Su Wanyan slapped them hard with both her front and back hands in a lightning-fast motion!

The two maids were completely stunned by the blow, covering their flushed faces as they stared at Su Wanyan in disbelief: "Who are you? How dare you hit us!"

"I am the princess you all talk about, the one who might be captured and taken to the palace, hanged with a white silk ribbon, or tortured to death by the prince!"

The original owner is indeed dead, but she is still alive and well!

"You!" One of the maids made a move to step forward.

But another maidservant pulled her back in time!

Su Wanyan pointed at the maid who was about to attack: "What? You want to fight back? Come on! I am a princess! You are just a servant in the palace. Behind me stands my father, Marquis Yuanning. If you dare to hurt a single hair on my head, I will have your head rolled tomorrow!"

In order to protect Su Muqing, Marquis Yuanning arranged for her to be adopted by his stepmother overnight and married in her place. Even if others were to investigate, she could be considered the legitimate daughter of Marquis Yuanning's mansion.

"I just dealt with an ungrateful person last night, so it doesn't matter if there are two more of you! Come on! Let's fight!" As she shouted, Su Wanyan reached out aggressively, ready to grab the two of them and start a fight.

The sight startled the two maids, who retreated hastily and knelt down, saying, "Your Highness, please forgive us. We were blind and should not have spoken ill of the Prince and Princess behind their backs. We know we were wrong, and we beg Your Highness to forgive us this time!"

"Pah! They're all all talk and no action, who knows what they're really thinking?" Su Wanyan didn't believe a few words would make them genuinely admit their mistakes, not even servants. She snapped, "Get out!"

"Thank you for your magnanimity, Your Highness!" The two maids got up from the ground and hurriedly left.

After walking a short distance, the two looked back at Su Wanyan again. Su Wanyan had been watching them the whole time. If she felt guilty, how could she dare to look back? It was obvious that she was not convinced!

Su Wanyan stood with her hands on her hips, momentarily confused. Wasn't this the Prince Gong's Mansion?

Why do these people have no respect for Yu Nanqing at all?

He was the Great Jin War God, even known to the original owner, the concubine's third young lady of the Marquis's mansion who rarely left her home!

Last night, when she was about to be captured by those people, he protected her. This morning, although he pinched her neck, she could clearly feel that he was holding back his strength.

They had no intention of taking her life.

This is enough to show that he was not actually a ruthless killer.

Just then, another pair of maids came over, and Su Wanyan quickly called out to them, "Hey! Excuse me, where is the kitchen?"

Su Wanyan asked her way to the kitchen, and along the way, the maids all looked at her as if she were something dirty, and they all kept their distance from her.
