Chapter 214
Finally, Chen Mohan let out a soft sigh.
"Okay, I'll help you!" Chen Mohan helped Chen Liehu up. Chen Liehu's face was full of surprise, and his eyes were frighteningly bright.
He always knew his elder brother's abilities, and if his elder brother took action, the chances of Rong Rong being found would be very high.
Chen Liehu had great confidence in Chen Mohan. Even his friend Lu Linfeng, who was far inferior to him, was slightly less than his elder brother. Perhaps only Lu Youning, the former heir of the Marquis of Zhenguo, could compare with his elder brother.
Unfortunately, Lu Youning is now useless.
The thought that Lu Youning was still Rong Rong's fiancé filled Chen Liehu with resentment.
Rong Rong deserves better. Even if... even if he is not good enough for Rong Rong, it is still not the place for a useless person!
Chen Liehu's expression changed like a color palette, but Chen Mohan had no interest in asking Chen Liehu what he was thinking.
Since Rong Rong has such a great influence on his foolish younger brother, it seems that he really needs to find out the specifics.
Regardless of what happened between Rong Rong and his brother, everything would wait until they found him. In any case, he had to do this for his brother's sake.
And so the search party for Rong Rong grew even larger.
Rong Rong, who had not seen the Crown Prince arrive, was somewhat relieved.
As long as that annoying person doesn't come, she doesn't really care where she is.
It felt like returning to a certain world from the past, where Rongrong would spend her days playing the piano, painting, and passing the time.
Until the Crown Prince reappeared.
At that time, Rong Rong was painting distant mountains when the Crown Prince arrived and immediately dismissed the servants in the courtyard.
The atmosphere around them became somewhat oppressive because of the Crown Prince.
Rong Rong paused for a moment, then quickly pretended nothing had happened and continued to draw carefully on the paper.
The Crown Prince sat quietly beside Rong Rong, his eyes bloodshot, staring at her with a greedy and infatuated gaze.
He felt that Rong Rong was like a good medicine that could instantly relieve his lovesickness and remove his physical fatigue.
The Crown Prince had been busy with state affairs these past few days, and in order to see Rong Rong as soon as possible, he stayed up for several nights before finally finishing his work.
He couldn't wait to come here whenever he had free time.
The Crown Prince gazed at Rong Rong's delicate features, feeling that as time passed, he seemed to become increasingly attached to her.
He began to feel resentment because of Rong Rong's past. He hated that Chen Mohan had once won Rong Rong's heart, and he hated even more that Lu Youning almost married Rong Rong.
He even resented the presence of other men in the courtyard, even though they were all blind, he still felt resentful about it.
It turns out that when people face someone they truly care about, they can unleash such a strong and irrational possessiveness.
Finally, the Crown Prince was no longer satisfied with being ignored by Rong Rong. He stepped forward, grabbed Rong Rong's wrist, and pulled her directly into his arms.
He only let out a slightly satisfied sigh when he saw his own reflection in other people's eyes.
However, the beauty refused to cooperate, her beautiful eyes glaring angrily, which made the prince feel a pang of pain in his heart.
That is the disappointment of not being loved.
The prince instantly increased the force in his hands, pressing his entire body towards the beauty.
Rong Rong immediately became anxious. She took the pen in her hand and poked it at the Crown Prince's eyes, but the Crown Prince grabbed her wrist halfway through.
Now Rong Rong's wrists were both firmly in the Crown Prince's hands. Rong Rong tried her best to break free, but she couldn't budge the Crown Prince at all.
Tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, and her tear-filled eyes were both pitiful and breathtakingly beautiful.
The prince felt a sudden, inexplicable pang of pain; he had hurt the beauty's feelings.
The beauty's every move captivated his heart; when she was sad, he felt her sadness as well.
For a moment, the prince's body stiffened.
Finally, he eased his grip, pulled Rong Rong into his arms, and gently patted her back to soothe her.
He could feel Rong Rong's tension.
The other person is rejecting him and is afraid of him!
The crown prince's eyes immediately darkened, and discomfort, frustration, and anger surged into his heart once again.
But his longing for Rongrong overcame his pity, and the Crown Prince forcefully picked her up and carried her into the house.
"Let go!" Rong Rong slapped the Crown Prince across the face, but the Crown Prince did not budge, while Rong Rong's hand was instead struck with pain.
Rong Rong was so aggrieved that she gave up on slapping him and instead scratched the Crown Prince's face hard.
Instantly, a red scratch appeared on the prince's face.
No one has ever dared to lay a hand on the Crown Prince's face before.
But it was Rong Rong who made the move. The Crown Prince could only smile helplessly and hug Rong Rong even tighter.
The angry beauty was much more vibrant and radiant than when she had ignored him.
The prince's eyes gradually darkened, and his entire body became increasingly hot.
Just as the crown prince was about to step into the room, a maid's anxious voice suddenly rang out from behind him.
"Your Highness! Someone from the palace has arrived!"
...
Rong Rong escaped a calamity.
She sat there sadly, wondering what to do next.
How could she possibly find something to protect herself in this airtight courtyard?
Rong Rong looked dejected, and her gloomy mood was clearly conveyed to the maid beside her.
The maid frowned deeply, but Rong Rong didn't see it. At that moment, the maid's face was full of heartache and worry for her.
The maid heard the whole thing: the Crown Prince was about to bully Miss Rong.
Heaven knows how anxious she was! She almost rushed in recklessly to save Miss Rong.
Fortunately, the palace staff arrived at the critical moment, and she managed to save the girl.
The maidservant faced Rong Rong's direction with a heavy heart. Although she was blind, her heart told her that Miss Rong must be extremely beautiful.
It's not just about physical beauty, but also about a beautiful soul.
She spent less than half a month with the girl, but even in that short time, she could feel the girl's kindness and innocence.
The girl must be very beautiful, otherwise the Crown Prince would not have imprisoned her in the manor and specially arranged for a group of blind men to guard the manor, while only assigning her as a maid to serve the girl.
What a terrifying possessiveness!
My body trembles involuntarily whenever I think of the maid.
She feared the Crown Prince, but she feared the girl getting hurt even more.
What should she do?
Soon, the maid's sorrow overwhelmed Rong Rong, but fortunately, Rong Rong's zither music slowly soothed the maid's heart.
The maid sat quietly listening to the music played by Miss Rong, growing to like her even more.
Having lost her sight, she can only identify others by hearing. She can tell from her hearing that the girl has the softest heart.
Rongrong was unaware of the turmoil in her maid's heart, and she herself calmed down as the music played repeatedly.
Perhaps she could find a way to wake up the upgraded system ahead of schedule?
But this would hurt her, physically.
Faced with the choice between actively injuring herself and passively injuring herself, Rong Rong quickly chose to injure herself.
However, now is not the time.
Having found a solution, Rongrong's zither music became increasingly peaceful.
On a large tree not far from the manor, a figure dressed in black sat quietly, his gaze fixed on the manor's gate.
