Chapter 75: Beaten to Death
At this time, Gu Yunjin was holding the third prince's arm, looking very affectionate.
Gu Jingchun frowned slightly when he saw this, and subconsciously took a step back, putting some distance between them. Then he said, "Of course we're going to the banquet."
Gu Yunjin heard this and said, "It's just right. We are going there too. Why don't we go together?"
Gu Jingchun rejected it a thousand times in his heart.
However, Gu Yunjin did not give her a chance to refuse. He walked up to her and pulled her away.
Gu Jingchun tried to avoid it, but he was still a step too late and was grabbed by Gu Yunjin's arm.
She tried to pull it back quickly, but as she did so, she heard a "pop" sound and the jade pendant fell to the ground and broke into two pieces.
Seeing this, Gu Yunjin looked up in disbelief.
“Sister, I can understand that you don’t want to go with your sister.
But why did you throw my things for no reason?"
As Gu Yunjin spoke, tears began to fall from her eyes, and she looked as if she had suffered a great injustice.
When the third prince saw this, his fat body immediately moved over.
He looked at Gu Yunjin, then at the broken puppy pendant on the ground, and his face was instantly covered with anger.
Gu Yunjin immediately raised his head and said aggrievedly:
"Your Highness, that was our token of love. My sister actually dropped it. What should we do?"
The Third Prince was on Gu Yunjin's right side at the time, and with Gu Yunjin's body blocking his view, he didn't see clearly how the thing fell.
Now after hearing Gu Yunjin's words, there was only one thought in my mind.
His puppy was broken.
His puppy died.
It was she who broke her puppy.
So, he wanted to kill her to avenge his puppy.
Kill her.
The Third Prince roared with anger in his heart and roared out loud.
"Come here, drag this man who broke my things down and beat him to death with sticks."
When Gu Jingchun looked at the angry face of the Third Prince, the scene of his previous life subconsciously emerged in his mind.
She was pinned to the ground and beaten continuously by the Third Prince.
The spiked whip kept hitting her body, tearing off layers of skin and flesh.
And the hook that pierced her butterfly bone was so painful that she felt heartbroken, but she couldn't move.
The things that happened in her past life made her body tremble when she thought about them.
This is a fear engraved in her bones and the most profound memory of her death in her previous life.
It is also a gap that she has been unable to cross over the years.
Even though she now has enough confidence, enough strength, and enough maturity.
However, at this moment, she still lost her composure in an instant.
She suppressed the urge to let her legs go weak and forced herself to look directly at the third prince's face that looked like a bun.
He said firmly, "I didn't break it. She broke it on purpose."
Gu Jingchun pointed at Gu Yunjin and explained.
But Gu Yunjin immediately stepped forward, took the Third Prince's arm, and shook him, saying:
"Third Prince, don't listen to her nonsense. That's my favorite thing. How could she break it on purpose? It was clearly her who broke it."
Gu Yunjin suppressed the churning in his stomach and tried his best to make his expression look sincere.
"You may not know, but I love puppies the most. I even had one before, but unfortunately, she died early.
That’s why I made a pendant with a puppy. When I wear it, it feels like it’s still with me.”
Although the Third Prince was stupid, he still had a little bit of brains. Although not much, it was enough for her to understand what Gu Yunjin said.
This reminded him of the little dog that accompanied him.
So he reaffirmed his decision and prepared to take the man away and beat him to death with sticks.
At this time, Gu Jingchun took out several similar puppy pendants from Lan Xin's bag.
Red, white, green, brown, black, all kinds of colors are available.
This was specially prepared by Gu Jingchun just for this day.
Gu Yunjin thought that she could capture the Third Prince with a puppy pendant and let her do whatever she wanted.
Little do people know that there can be countless such puppy pendants.
In this way, her position will be precarious and anyone can replace her.
Sure enough, these pendants caught the Third Prince's eye and he immediately stepped forward to take them, playing with them carefully and unable to let them go.
Gu Jingchun spoke upon seeing this.
"In that case, Your Highness, why don't you and Miss Gu each choose a pendant and wear it around your neck.
This way, your puppy can stay with you forever."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yunjin's face turned green.
She didn't expect that Gu Jingchun actually carried so many pendants with him.
Now I can only force myself to say: "How can this be the same? This is not mine at all."
Having said that, she no longer wanted to pretend and said directly to the Third Prince: "Your Highness, don't you want to deal with her?"
The Third Prince only had the pendant in his eyes. Upon hearing this, he said casually, "Come here, take the person away."
"Let's see who dares!"
At this time, Shen Hechuan's voice came.
He strode over, protecting Gu Jingchun behind him, and spoke sternly:
"I wonder who dares to touch her."
Hearing this, the Third Prince subconsciously took a step back.
When Gu Yunjin saw Chen Hechuan, he immediately let go of the Third Prince and took a step forward happily, "Crown Prince."
Perhaps it was the joy of seeing Chen Hechuan that made her ignore Chen Hechuan's protection of Gu Jingchun, and she immediately followed up:
"Brother Crown Prince, it was my sister who broke my puppy pendant first, so His Highness got angry."
After she finished speaking, she didn't expect to meet Chen Hechuan's icy eyes.
"Take back those little thoughts of yours. I know exactly what you want to do and what you have in mind."
"I thought what happened that night was enough to teach you a lesson."
Chen Hechuan's words revealed the truth about Gu Yunjin's danger that night, making Gu Yunjin feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
"If you behave yourself now, you can marry the Third Prince and become a nominal princess."
"However, if you are restless and still want to deal with others, then don't blame me for being rude and dealing with you directly."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yunjin took a step back in disbelief.
It turns out that Shen Hechuan did it on purpose that day!
She looked at Chen Hechuan, then at Gu Jingchun, as if she had discovered some huge secret and suddenly realized it.
“You…you guys…”
Seeing that Gu Yunjin was about to reveal the relationship between them, Gu Jingchun immediately interrupted her.
"His Royal Highness simply saw you bullying me, and because he couldn't stand the injustice, he came to help me. Now, in front of His Royal Highness, please don't make insinuations and slander me."
Gu Jingchun directly interrupted Gu Yunjin and explained why the prince appeared here.
Although the third prince is stupid, he was beaten by Shen Hechuan when he was young and was almost killed by him, so he has a natural fear of him.
