"Ah -" Xue Shanya was so frightened that Chen Jingke suddenly appeared in front of her and screamed. She leaned back and fell to the ground, with her legs in the air like a bastard who couldn't roll over. Even the hem of her skirt was turned up.
This gesture was so inelegant that Chen Jingke subconsciously turned his head to avoid looking at her.
Unexpectedly, Xue Shanya got up, turned around and ran away.
Chen Jingke turned around when he heard the voice, his brows furrowed but he remained motionless.
Now that everyone outside was his, he wanted to see where Xue Shanya could run.
But no one expected that Tingxiu, who was standing aside, suddenly rushed forward, grabbed Xue Shanya's arm, and said loudly: "Girl, where can you run to now?
"Young Master Biao already knows everything, you'd better tell the truth quickly!"
Xue Shanya was caught by Tingxiu but did not run away. She was so angry that she turned around and hit Tingxiu head-on.
"It's you, right?
"You betrayed me, didn't you lure your cousin here?"
Chen Jingke had a sullen face, grabbed Xue Shanya's hitting hand, and said irritably: "Don't call me cousin, you don't deserve it!"
Xue Shanya's face, which was red with anger just now, turned pale in an instant, and she immediately lost the momentum she had towards Tingxiu just now.
She said softly with red eyes: "Cousin, you hurt me."
But Xue Shanya's weakness did not arouse Chen Jingke's affection at all. Instead, it made him feel sick to his stomach.
Chen Jingke said coldly: "Do you have to force me to beat you in front of my uncle's tomb?"
Seeing how hard-hearted he was, Xue Shanya finally realized that she had no other choice but to confess frankly.
"Cousin, I said, as long as I know something, I will tell you, okay..."
"Of course you want to say it, but not here!" Chen Jingke gave the order, and someone immediately came in, took Xue Shanya's arm and dragged her out.
"Ah——" Xue Shanya was so frightened that she screamed, "I'll do it, why don't I do it all!"
Seeing Chen Jingke frowning, Tingxiu took out the handkerchief from her arms, balled it up, stepped forward and stuffed it into Xue Shanya's mouth.
"Woo..." Xue Shanya made a difficult sound, and then was dragged down.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Chen Jingke did not take Xue Shanya back to Sanli City, but directly found a room on the second floor of the inn to interrogate her on the spot.
Panxia has been waiting here early.
"Why are Sister Panxia here?" Chen Jingke asked in surprise.
"The old lady said that she had always been very kind to her cousin, so she wanted to know why her cousin did this."
After hearing this, Xue Shanya and Tingxiu both raised their heads.
"Aunt, no, no..." Xue Shanya said, turning to look at Tingxiu, as if she wanted to get support from her.
"Ha!" Chen Jingke sneered, "With the little tricks you two idiots have, do you really think you can hide it from us?
"Have you been carrying that packet of medicine with you for several days?
"I'm not afraid to tell you that Madam Tong has long smelled a strange medicinal smell on your body.
"Even if you try desperately to cover it up with incense and sachets, you still can't escape Lady Tong's nose."
Hearing Chen Jingke mention Lady Tong, Xue Shanya suddenly sneered.
"Ha! I knew that this Lady Tong was the one my great-aunt invited here to betroth to you, right?
"I admit that she is good-looking and has excellent medical skills, but it is obvious that I should be your wife.
"Everything should be done on a first-come, first-served basis, right?
"She came later than me, but my great-aunt always let her overwhelm me in everything.
“Not only did she live in the main courtyard, but she was also given clothes and jewelry made for her. Everything was better than what was given to me…
"Even if the one in the photo is better and you don't like me, my mother-in-law, there is no need to humiliate me like this, right?"
The accumulated resentment over these little things has been holding in Xue Shanya's heart for a long time.
At this time, he finally burst out in one breath. The more he spoke, the more he felt wronged. In the end, he was so angry that he shed tears.
Panxia looked confused when she heard this.
Who is she talking about? Lady Tong? Isn't that the prince's fiancée? Why are you related to your young master again?
Chen Jingke broke into a cold sweat. If the prince heard this, he would probably settle old and new accounts with himself!
But I am just afraid of whatever comes next.
As soon as Xue Shanya finished speaking, the door was pushed open.
Li Zian moved his wrist as he entered the room. After standing still, he asked, "Why do I seem to hear that someone is coveting my fiancée?"
Xue Shanya raised her head following the sound, and was shocked when she saw it.
Isn't this the coachman who brought Lady Tong to Sanli City?
She also lamented at the time that this man had a tall and straight posture and outstanding facial features, but it was a pity that most of his face was covered with birthmarks, and he was really blind.
But the man standing in front of her now, with any birthmarks on his face, was so handsome that her heart trembled.
Seeing Li Zian take another two steps forward, Xue Shanya lowered her head in shame.
Unexpectedly, Li Zian said: "Raise your head."
Xue Shanya was so nervous that her palms were sweating, and she was wondering about Li Zian's thoughts. Could this person be attracted to her?
She slowly raised her head and looked at Li Zian's dazzling face again.
She looked confused, her eyes were full of spring water, and two suspicious red clouds flew on her cheeks.
Xue Shanya was actually fascinated by his face?
"..." Li Zian turned to Chen Jingke speechlessly and asked, "Is your cousin a nymphomaniac?"
Chen Jingke also felt a little embarrassed for no reason.
Although he had never thought of marrying Xue Shanya, no matter what the other party said, he still had a cousin relationship.
It's just that as Mr. Xue said, the Xue family is really rotten from top to bottom. Even Xue Shanya, who treats her daughter as a daughter-in-law, doesn't know what she is pretending to be.
Xue Shanya also didn't expect that she would actually look at Li Zian's face in fascination. After listening to the other party's words, she lowered her head in shame.
"I came here just to tell you that Mrs. Tong is my fiancée and has nothing to do with your cousin.
“Mrs. Chen is good to her because she saved Mrs. Chen’s life.
“From now on, I don’t want to hear the word Lady Tong from you again.
"Otherwise, the prison in Prince Rui's Mansion is much more fun than the one in Sanli City!"
Chen Jingke looked helpless. Is this person really the prince he knew?
Why do you act so childishly when you're jealous?
It’s okay if I have to clarify it in front of Xue Shanya, but I have to drag myself in and make her feel disgusted.
Xue Shanya was like a thunderbolt at this moment, blasting away all the inappropriate and charming thoughts in her heart just now.
Prince Rui's Mansion?
So the person in front of me is actually Prince Rui’s crown prince, then Lady Tong is the crown prince’s concubine, and the future Prince Rui’s concubine?
