Because the eldest daughter of the Shi family was Helan Ruizhe's fiancée three years ago.
That is, the future Crown Princess.
"Don't say it, don't say it. I promise you, I promise you everything!" Tang Ruozhi recalled Helan Ruizhe's cold attitude. She couldn't bear to be disgusted by him anymore. She knelt down, pulled Jin Xiwen's skirt, and begged bitterly.
Jin Xiwen's expression of disdain was clear. She shook off the hand that was tugging at her skirt and took a step away. "Then every step from now on must be done according to my instructions. You can't act on your own. Otherwise, if the matter is exposed, I won't bear any of the blame."
"I will also give you away."
Tang Ruozhi was so scared that tears streamed down her face. "No, I'll listen to you, I'll listen to you."
"You're smart. Tomorrow at this time, I'll tell you how to take the first step." Jin Xiwen had already walked to the door and looked back at Tang Ruozhi, "Don't reveal our relationship, or you'll die miserably."
As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared as soon as he opened the door.
Tang Ruozhi was left alone there, fragments of the accident three years ago kept flashing through his mind. Tears fell to the ground one by one. He wiped them away with his hands, and more tears flowed.
Three years ago, Helan Ruizhe was not so cold and unfamiliar with her.
Although it was not a romantic concern, he once treated her like a sister.
The eldest daughter of the Shi family is the only Crown Princess recognized by Helan Ruizhe, and is also the candidate favored by the Queen Mother.
Everyone thought that they would happily become a perfect couple, but there was someone as proud and conceited as Tang Ruozhi.
She was so jealous of the eldest daughter of the Shi family that she planned an accident, and the eldest daughter of the Shi family died by drowning without anyone knowing.
Apart from her, the only one who knew about this matter was her accomplice Jin Wade.
Jin Wade has liked Tang Ruozhi since he was a child.
So he kept it a secret for her, and Jin Xiwen discovered it accidentally, but because Tang Ruozhi was useful, she did not expose it.
After all, no one would believe it even if it was exposed. The general's mansion was not as prosperous as it is now three years ago.
When faced with the same thing, people tend to believe in authority, power, and people who are superior to them.
"Miss, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?" Xiao Hua woke up and saw Tang Ruozhi slumped in front of the bed with tears on her face.
I hurried over, worried and afraid to touch, so I could only ask anxiously.
Tang Ruozhi raised his tear-stained face and hugged Xiao Hua tightly, "Do you think I'm terrible?"
Xiao Hua was overwhelmed by the sudden hug and froze, not daring to move. "Miss..."
"Why doesn't my mother like me? My grandfather doesn't like me. The Queen Mother doesn't like me. Even Brother Ruizhe doesn't like me. Am I really that bad?..."
Xiao Hua felt sorry for Tang Ruozhi's tears. They were stuck on her clothes, shoulders, and even a little on her hair. "Miss, you are very good. In Xiao Hua's heart, you are really very good."
Tang Ruozhi paused, not knowing what suddenly occurred to him. He pushed Xiao Hua's arms away, pointed at her nose, and cursed: "You're lying. You were sent by my mother to monitor me, right? You don't even think about my own good, do you?"
"Hypocritical! Disgusting! Get out!!!" Tang Ruozhi almost yelled the last sentence.
How could she forget that everyone around her was untrustworthy and was sent by her mother, the Prime Minister's wife, to monitor her every move.
Xiao Hua felt aggrieved after being yelled at by Tang Ruozhi. She stood up, wiped her tears, and walked out.
She actually feels sorry for the young lady, why doesn't she appreciate it?
He has always been like this, hitting her whenever he wants and scolding her whenever he wants. He throws things when he is in a bad mood, and he won't be nice to her when he is in a good mood.
Xiao Hua rubbed his face tiredly, leaned against the door, and lifted up his sleeves. There were bruises on them, which were caused by Tang Ruozhi hitting him with a stick when he lost his temper last time.
A man jumped out from the darkness, hugged Xiao Hua's waist, and smiled lasciviously.
"My little beauty, I miss you so much~ Come and let me touch you...Ah——" Tang Lei's hand was pinched by Xiao Hua. He let go of her waist and jumped in pain.
"Are you sick?" Tang Lei pointed at Xiao Hua and yelled.
When Xiao Hua saw that it was the second young master Tang Lei, she immediately knelt on the ground, trembling with fear. The second young master was the most lustful. He was only fifteen years old and had five or six concubines in his room.
He also hangs out in brothels every day, and said that he fell in love with a prostitute two days ago, which made the prime minister very angry.
Tang Lei may have drunk a little wine, his speech was unclear and his steps were unsteady.
He put his arm around Xiao Hua's waist again and said, "Don't be afraid. Aren't you from my sister's courtyard? I'll talk to her tomorrow and ask you to follow me. How about that?"
Xiao Hua was so frightened that she pushed away his restless hands that were groping around her waist. "Second Young Master, Xiao Hua still needs to serve the young lady, so I'll leave first...ah!"
Tang Lei grabbed Xiao Hua's waist and kissed her on the face, which scared Xiao Hua so much that she screamed.
"Don't be so excited, little beauty." Tang Lei's eyes were dark blue and his pupils were a cloudy yellow. "If you don't let me play with the girls in the brothel, then I can at least play with the ones at home."
After saying that, he covered Xiao Hua's mouth, carried her on his shoulders, and walked into the darkness.
No matter how Xiao Hua struggled, it was of no avail.
——
The next day, at the General's Mansion.
Jin Suting opened her eyes and saw the familiar curtain in her room, which made her feel a little strange.
Before she passed out, she was still in that terrible man-eating forest. She remembered that she was lying in Helan Ruizhe's arms.
Thinking of Helan Ruizhe and his bleeding arm, she remembered that there were still wolves left to deal with before she fainted. She remembered that he seemed to be injured as well...
He suddenly turned over, touched the wound, lay back down, tried not to move that arm, and then slowly sat up. The noise was so loud that it woke up Tan'er who was sitting at the Eight Immortals Table.
"Miss, Miss! Miss, you're awake!" Qin'er's tone was full of joy when she saw Jin Suting sitting up.
"Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei! Go tell the master that the young lady is awake!" Tan Er shouted excitedly outside the door. Xiao Hei's happy and energetic voice came in, and he said, "Okay——"
Jin Suting rubbed her eyes with the hand she could move and asked, "What about the prince? How is he?"
She didn't seem to expect that the first person she cared about when she woke up would be Helan Ruizhe.
"Prince?" Qin'er was a little confused. She was concerned about other men besides the master and Xiao Hei.
"Oh, it was the prince who sent the young lady to the South Street Clinic. The prince is probably in the East Palace now." Tan'er reacted quickly and answered.
"Isn't he injured?" Jin Suting wondered how he could send her back.
"Ah? I couldn't tell. Later, the prince came to the general's mansion, and he didn't look injured." Qin'er scratched his head and answered honestly.
