CHAPTER 288: CHAPTER 288: THE KILLING INTENT

In Sheng Xueyi’s heart, the Fourteenth Prince was a lunatic.

If not a lunatic, then this Fourteenth Prince was a violence maniac.

Such a delicate beauty she was, and yet he exerted such force on her.

"Remember, don’t attempt to provoke me again!"

"You are not indispensable."

After warning Sheng Xueyi, the Fourteenth Prince finally let go of her chin.

Sheng Xueyi glanced at the Fourteenth Prince with some fear, and the hatred in her heart instantly sprouted, wishing she could beat the Fourteenth Prince on the spot.

Unfortunately, she didn’t dare.

Let alone beat him, Sheng Xueyi didn’t even dare to curse him directly.

Royal authority reigned supreme; if she dared to do so, it would be like an old longevity star hanging himself, courting death.

"Watch the way you look at me!"

"I allow you to have a bit of a temper when I care about you."

"If I stop caring about you, I wouldn’t hesitate to send you to Wanhua House."

Wanhua House, the largest brothel in Qianyang City, the Capital.

If Sheng Xueyi were sent to Wanhua House, her life would be ruined.

Hearing this threat from the Fourteenth Prince, Sheng Xueyi fell silent. Deep inside, a thought quietly emerged, that was, the Fourteenth Prince must die.

This man was a madman, a lunatic.

Sheng Xueyi knew very well that even if she obediently married the Fourteenth Prince, no good would await her.

Since that was the case, then she could only rescue herself.

How to save herself?

Naturally, by sending the Fourteenth Prince on his way.

"Think it over!"

The Fourteenth Prince saw Sheng Xueyi looking submissive, unaware that she already harbored murderous intentions.

After throwing down these words, he left the cake shop with Mao Desheng.

"Miss!"

After the Fourteenth Prince left, Chuntao hurried to Sheng Xueyi’s side, looking at her with concern.

Sheng Xueyi waved her hand and said, "It’s okay, I’m fine!"

Although she had the mind to get rid of the Fourteenth Prince, Sheng Xueyi had no intention of letting Chuntao know.

This matter was too big!

The only person Sheng Xueyi could absolutely trust right now was Mrs. Wu.

As for Chuntao and Mrs. Tian, Sheng Xueyi might share other things with them, but this matter must remain absolutely confidential.

The Book of Changes says: If the ruler lacks secrecy, he loses his ministers; if ministers lack secrecy, they lose their bodies; if certain actions lack secrecy, they fail. Thus, a gentleman is cautious and does not reveal secrets.

What these words mean is that one must keep secrets.

...

The Fourteenth Prince, upon leaving the cake shop, headed straight for the Wei Family; after all, he didn’t want rumors suggesting he came to Yunyang City just to see a woman.

So, visiting his aunt was a must.

Mao Shenggong followed by the Fourteenth Prince’s side, whispering, "Your Highness, this servant feels that Miss Sheng seems to have murderous intentions towards you!"

"What...?!"

Hearing Mao Shenggong’s words, the Fourteenth Prince was taken aback, "Mao Shenggong, you say that Sheng Xueyi wants to kill me?"

"She, dare?"

The Fourteenth Prince thought Mao Shenggong must be overthinking it.

"You’re thinking too much!"

"If such a mere girl of the inner chamber really dared to assassinate me, then I’d indeed have to look at her in a new light!"

"Your Highness, don’t be careless!"

Mao Shenggong, seeing the Fourteenth Prince not taking it seriously, quickly urged caution.

"There you go, thinking too much again!"

The Fourteenth Prince still didn’t believe Mao Shenggong’s feeling.

In his view, even if Sheng Xueyi harbored grievances, it shouldn’t reach the point of having to kill him!
