The Princess And The Lord

Chapter 698 - Blunt Threat



Back to the chaotic Sanguan manor. 

Sanguan Jin Sheng still chides his wife and reprimanded his Mother for their misconduct when Sanguan Wu Ci enter the room, the handsome young man forehead creased he never saw his father angry this much then he saw Zhao Li Xin kneel on the floor with three guards kneeled on the floor as well, when he saw a thick wooden stick on the floor he immediately knew what happened.

​​

Sanguan Wu Ci's face hardened, he didn't understand why his mother always lost her reason whenever it involved his father's previous wife, that woman is already dead, why can't she get over it, is it worth it to lose her minds whenever Qin Mu Yi name was spoken?

Meanwhile, no one realizes Sanguan Wu Ci entering the room, he feel annoyed because this is the first time people didn't realize his existence, Zi Yi Ru weeps in tears stream down on her face, thankfully she's beautiful, so she didn't look so ugly.

"I don't care Long Ming and his wife should pay for what they did to Li Ye, look what they did to my good daughter, did you not heard what people say about us, they say we are cowards, we fight with the weak but feared the strong, they thought we are afraid with Long Ming!" her words shaking with anger, she is the respectful wife of the Sanguan family patriarch and the daughter of the Zi clan when she ever pressured by other people like this.

"Do you think Long Ming is a simple man, you think he like any weakling man out there" Sanguan Jin Sheng loses his temper "From all of the people in the city why she must provoke Long Ming wife and she doing it publicly, do you know what people said? they said we didn't know how to raise a daughter!" Sanguan Jin Sheng was so angry he could feel veins bulging out of his head.

"This is not Li Ye faulted!" Zi Yi Ru remain persistent, no matter what she will never blame her daughter, in her eyes her daughter never wrong it's all other people fault "She wanted to pay for that woman pet but that woman didn't know what good for her she keep reject Li Ye offer, who does she think she is, she only aa lowly vixen who climbed his master bedroom, she just a lowly slu*…."

"MOTHER!" Sanguan Wu Ci shouted.

"What, isn't that true?" Zi Yi Ru snorted in disdain.

"Mother, you are the matriarch of the Sanguan family, you should mind your words carefully, what if outsider know about this, do you wanted Sanguan family or by dirty water again, is it not enough Sanguan Li Ye ruined our reputation?!" Sanguan Wu Ci's eyes fill with contempt, he didn't know where her mother learned such vulgar words and he feel uncomfortable listening to his mother mocking Lory with dirty words.

"I didn't say anything wrong, everyone knows what kinda woman Long Ming's wife is, everyone said she is an evil spirit that ruined everyone's life, she is a cursed fox spirit…..AAHK!" Zi Yi Ru suddenly clenched her neck, her face changed from pale to crimson, her eyes bulged widely he looked at everyone with fright, he suddenly swings her hands wildly in madness.

Everyone stares at Zi Yi Ru with a baffled look, while Zi Yi Ru begins to cough loudly and her chest moves up and down erratically "C…c..can't…breath.." she gasped desperately then she falls on the floor, she looked like a fish out of the water, her hands grab anything and everyone in frenzy "He...help..."

"Madam Sanguan!" 

"Mother!"

"Yi Ru!"

Everyone scream frantically, they didn't know how someone who was fine a second ago suddenly collapses like this, they thought the madam had a stroke but the madam is too young so how could she get a stroke? 

"Called the physician!" Sanguan Liu Wen screams frantically, he can't let anything happened to Zi Yi Ru or the Zi clan would not let the Sanguan family go.

at the time, Sanguan Jin Sheng cursed Zi Yi Ru thousands of times in his head, he hated how this woman gives him trouble all the time.

Sanguan Ji Sheng had no choice but carry Zi Yi Ru back to her courtyard. Everyone running follows their master and the concubines returned to their courtyards with deep despondent looks, so many things happened and it's hard for them to comprehend the situation.

Even Sanguan Wu Hao looks blanked, he didn't know what to do. His mother tugs his sleeves to remind him to leave

Everyone seemingly forgot about Zhao Li Xin. The spacious main hall suddenly the room become eerie quiet, Only Zhao Li Xin, Mong Liu, and sanguan Wu Ci who still in the room.

No one realizes a mysterious small bead roll on the rug, Zhao Li Xin rubbed his finger and faintly smiled. No one sees Zhao Li Xin throw a small bead on one of Zi Yi Ru's acupuncture points that made her trouble breathing.

Who told her talking bad about his princess, Zi Yi Ru should learn to shut her mouth perhaps she should teach her daughter too.

Zhao Li Xin slowly raised from the floor, he stomped his feet as expected he didn't injure at all then he patted his robes from wrinkles and nonexistent dust.

"You seems fine" Sanguan Wu Ci quipped, he glared fiercely towards Zhao Li Xin, just like other people he thought Zhao Li Xin existence was a disgrace for the Sanguan family reputation, he also thought that Zhao Li Xin was the unlucky bearer that brings havoc to his family because ever since he came the sanguan family never had a peaceful day.

If only sanguan Wu Ci know, that the worst has not yet to come.

"Hm.."Zhao Li Xin vaguely replies, he not even glance at Sanguan Wu Ci.

His arrogant attitude infuriated Sanguan Wu Ci "Why don't you say anything when our parent's fight, do you like seeing them fight? I guessed you do, after all, you are not only Sanguan but you also Qin…the disgraceful Qin family, your existance is a shammed for all of us!" anger curled inside him like a wildfire.

Zhao Li Xin stifles "Whatever you said, younger brother…" Zhao Li Xin amused how passionate Sanguan Wu Ci condemning him, did he think his words mean anything to him, did he think he cared of who or what blood runs to his veins? whether it's Zhao, Qin, or Sanguan it doesn't matter, he knew who he is – what he is. 

There only one person whose opinion matters for him, as long she accepted him for who or what he is then nothing else matters.

Zhao Li Xin walks towards Sanguan Wu Ci, his expression aloof and distant as if he didn't saw Sanguan Wu Ci stand in front of him, and their shoulder brush slightly. His indifferent irritated Sanguan Wu Ci, somehow he remained him so much with Long Ming. That's right, that man also looking at him with the same demeaning eyes.

"Father said you know Long Ming quite well" 

Zhao Li Xin halted his pace and turn his head in motion "Yes…"

Sanguan Wu Ci's eyes narrowed  and his teeth clenched together "Tell Long Ming that every tyrant would fall, he better stop throwing his fit wherever he goes, who knew perhaps he would meet someone stronger than him!"

"Is that so – okay" Zhao Li Xin shrugged indifferently, he clasped his hand behind his back and walk away.

His weak response make sanguan Wu Ci boiling with rage, he balled his fist and shouted "Long Ming should be careful or he might accidentally lose someone very important to him"

Zhao Li Xin's step paused, he turns around and squints his eyes "Who do you think, Long Ming will lose?" he cocked his head, all his demeanor instantly changed.

Sanguan Wu Ci refused to be intimidated, he squeezes his fist and says: "His pitiful wife, he should start to take care of her instead of locked her inside the manor" he said righteously, is hard to understand where he got the confidence to think Zhao Li Xin treated Lory badly.

Zhao Li Xin's expression turns grim, he slowly approaches Sanguan Wu Ci "What make you think she is pitiful?" he was half angry and half curious, he wanted to know which his behavior made other people think he mistreated Lory.

"Isn't that right? Long Ming forces her to marry him, Luo Ri Yi was a servant and orphaned how could she refuted her master request, but Long Ming didn't give her the status she deserved I heard long Ming never heald wedding banquet for her, he also didn't give her betrothal gift, he said Luo Ri Yi is his wife but who could believe him even peasant would hold wedding banquet  to respect their bride, but what long Ming do? he even confined his wife inside his manor alone, imagined how lonely she was"

It took a while for Mong Liu and Zhao Li Xin to digest sanguan Wu Ci's words. Zhao Li Xin didn't know if Lory could be confined, other than put her inside the mythical realm inside his ring Zhao Li Xin didn't know any other way to confined Lory, his princess would do what she need to do without asking permission. The least she does is give him notice but whatever he said he knew that he could never stop Lory from being 'Lory'.

Mong Liu was also shocked, what betrothal give? His Lord gives her Xin Xen token it means she has authority to used and moves whatever inside the Hei Shen sect, if she said she wanted to spend the whole treasury on one day who could stop her?

Besides, the Young madam was given a new dress, jewelry, and shoes every weak, and what is this talking about being lonely?  Before Empress Ming left, The madam and her friends used to stay up late for snacks and playing games, if not because master Li Mo Zhen picks up madam Li they would go on until sunrise, the young madam didn't seem lonely at all.

Zhao Li Xin and Mong Liu wondered if sanguan Wu Ci talked about the same woman.

"You seem to care too much about someone else wife" there's a warning in his words.

But sanguan Wu Ci was too stubborned to heed the warning "I Just pity her," said Sanguan Wu Ci 

"You think she needs your pity?" Zhao Li Xin gave a contemptuous smile.

"Who knows, but I know she deserved better" Sanguan Wu Ci raised his chin arrogantly.

Better – Better than Long Ming – Who – You?" Zhao Li Xin's expression darkened and his eyes glaze with rage.
