Just as she approached Wen Jingchi, he suddenly opened his eyelids.
When he found out it was Shangguan Wan'er, his pupils shook violently.
Then, there was a surge of anger.
His sharp eyes were filled with murderous intent. He subconsciously grabbed Shangguan Wan'er's neck and threw her heavily backwards.
Shangguan Wan'er was a rich lady after all, she had never suffered such a torture.
After being thrown like this, all the bones in my body seemed to fall apart, and a trace of pain was squeezed out of my throat.
Wen Jingchi looked down and found that half of his clothes had been taken off.
He put on his clothes quickly and walked down from the **.
Shangguan Wan'er had already stood up by herself, but Wen Jingchi grabbed her neck tightly and lifted her up.
Looking into his eyes, Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but shiver all over.
"Tell me, who asked you to seduce this king?"
His voice was extremely cold, and every word he spoke was like the tip of an icy knife, stabbing fiercely into his chest.
Shangguan Wan'er bit her lower lip tightly, looking hopeless.
Wen Jingchi increased the strength of his hands, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Your Majesty, please kill me. I was lowly enough to fall in love with you! That's why I couldn't resist your temptation and..."
"From what you said, it was me who took the initiative?"
Wen Jingchi sneered coldly and looked her up and down.
"With your looks, you still want to seduce me. Who do you think will believe this if it gets out?"
His merciless tone made Shangguan Wan'er blush with shame.
What she has always been most confident about is her appearance.
Now that he was slandered by Wen Jingchi and was worthless, the pain in his heart began to spread unrestrainedly.
"Your Majesty, how could you humiliate me like this? It was you just now..."
"Still lying!"
Wen Jingchi had no intention of confronting her, so he grabbed her arm and dragged her out like a chicken.
"My Lord, where are you taking me?"
Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly put on her clothes.
But one of her arms was being held by Wen Jingchi, so she had no way of putting it on.
If she was taken out like this, and the maid Xiao Si saw her, she would not be able to face people in the future. Now she was only wearing a thin bellyband...
She had heard of Wen Jingchi's name, and his well-known ruthlessness.
Maybe it's because of his lover that he has become a gentle person.
This made her mistakenly believe that the Wenjing Pond in the past was just a rumor.
But now seeing how aggressive he was, he realized belatedly that he had provoked a living devil!
Things have come to this point, she can only throw in the towel.
"Your Majesty, you can't do this to me. You touched my people and you still want to deny it. How far do you want to humiliate me? Do you want me to die before you will be satisfied? After all, I have been your woman. How can you be so cruel?"
Now that she had been brought out, she had no choice but to fight to the end, howling hysterically at the top of her lungs.
Wen Jingchi didn't care at all and took her to the yard where Lord Shangguan lived.
Lord Shangguan had just drunk some wine and was pampering his concubine.
Upon learning of the noise outside, he immediately put on his clothes and went to the hall, where he found Shangguan Wan'er wearing only a bellyband.
His weather-beaten old face instantly turned red with shame.
"Girl, why are you dressed like this?"
The woman next to her, who had always been at odds with Shangguan Wan'er, sneered.
"My dear daughter, why are you dressed like a prostitute? What did you do just now? Did you seduce the prince?"
Mrs. Shangguan rushed over after hearing the news. Because it was cold, she deliberately put on an extra piece of clothing.
Seeing Shangguan Wan'er like this, he immediately took off his coat and covered her with it.
"Your Highness, please let my little girl go. What did she do to deserve your humiliation and exposure in public? She is a girl, innocent!"
Her last words were: Don't mess with Wen Jingchi at all.
He grabbed the tea beside him and smashed it to the ground.
"What do you mean innocent? Your daughter is simply a fickle person. She actually dared to take advantage of my drunkenness and have someone help me to her room to try to seduce me. Just look at her clothes and you can tell how indecent her behavior is!"
"Sir Shangguan, you are an official appointed by the court, but you actually gave birth to such a daughter. What crime should you be punished for? Or did you collude with your daughter to deliberately set up a trap for me and perform such a trick? Do you think I have never experienced such a thing?"
They are all smart people, so there is no need to make some things too clear.
Lord Shangguan felt like he had been slapped several times. He was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a place to hide.
He knew about this, but he didn't know that his wife and daughter could be so stupid.
At that time they said it was foolproof, and he had been drinking so he didn't ask any more questions and was only focused on having fun with his concubine.
Who would have thought that they would be so unreliable!
He didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only lower his head and remain silent, his eyes fixed on Madam Shangguan.
Shangguan Wan'er lay on the ground with her face covered, crying bitterly.
"Your Highness, you can't say such things to me. I am a girl after all. If you say that to me, I simply cannot live! Don't stop me, let me die. Do I still have the face to live in this world..."
She pretended to have severe back pain and was about to hit her head against a pillar and die.
Several little maids held her back, and Madam Shangguan also burst into tears.
"You damned girl, how could you abandon your mother and seek death with your father? Who can you be fair to by doing this? Things will eventually be resolved. No matter what happens, mother will believe you and stand by you."
"Mother, what's the point of saying this? You are the only one who believes me. Everyone thinks that I seduced the prince..."
Before she could finish her words, she almost fell backwards.
Madam Shangguan hugged him and cried and begged him, and the two of them acted out the drama to the fullest.
Wen Jingchi frowned as he watched, but did not expose them.
He wanted to see how long these two could continue to perform.
Mrs. Shangguan cried bitterly and patted Shangguan Wan'er's shoulder.
"Tell me if you've been wronged. Even if I die today, I will still make the decision for you. I will always trust you."
Shangguan Wan'er didn't say anything else. She lay in Madam Shangguan's arms and fainted from crying.
The concubine next to her snorted in a sarcastic tone.
"Sister, it's obviously your daughter who is not disciplined and seduced the prince. Why are you still defending her? My daughter is well-behaved and cute, and she would never do such a thing."
"Just shut up! What do you know? It's not my daughter's fault at all."
Madam Shangguan yelled in anger and pointed at Wen Jingchi as if she didn't care.
"Wen Jingchi, I respect you as a high and mighty prince, but you can't bully others like this. You clearly did something improper to my daughter, but you are trying to turn the tables on me.
I don't care, you have to give us an explanation, or I will file a complaint with the emperor in Beijing!"
