After Being Kidnapped by the Crown Prince - Chapter 236
Chapter 236
Zhao Zhi felt anger rising from his heart, and strode forward with vigorous steps. He dragged her back into his arms and cupped her cheeks with his fingertips. With a frown, he whispered as he asked, “What did they say?”
Ming Zhu was unwilling to talk to him, and couldn’t be more perfunctory, “Nothing.”
When Zhao Zhi lifted his head, it was as if a layer of ice had formed on his face. His face was really somber and the corners of his mouth were pursed into a straight line, making people not dare approach him.
Anyone who saw him would want to turn around and escape.
Zhao Zhi raised his eyebrows, on the surface he looked indifferent, but there was an unique and rare coldness and sharpness in his voice, his expression appeared unconcerned, but the way he spoke was distinct and serious, as if he was waiting to settle accounts in the future.
He asked, “What did you all say just now?”
(84.1)
The surroundings turned silent, no one made a sound, and without any good reason, no one was willing to take the initiative to talk.
Bullying the weak and fearing the strong was human nature.
Ming Ru was a smart person, according to reason, this time she was not supposed to stick out and speak, playing deaf and dumb would be right.
But the surge of emotion was difficult to restrain.
The fact that Ming Zhu was still alive obviously provoked her uncontrollably.
Ming Ru forced a smile, “Your Highness, how dare we say anything mean ? When we speak, we always pay attention to little sister Ming Zhu’s mood, lest little sister feels aggrieved and starts crying because of her oversensitiveness.”
She spoke in a calm and relaxed tone of voice, but her words were clearly cynical, yet there was no way to pick out her thorns.
Zhao Zhi’s cold gaze swept over Ming Ru. He suddenly remembered the words Ming Zhu said in his ear during the two days when he was seriously injured and in a coma, when Ming Zhu thought that he couldn’t hear anything.
She said she didn’t like her legitimate sister at all.
She hated having to wash her clothes in the middle of winter.
She was being bullied but still had to pay attention to their mood when doing anything.
Zhao Zhi laughed coldly, the emotions in the bottom of his eyes were difficult to read, one word after the other, he slowly asked: “You don’t dare?”
The man’s cold eyes looked at her with a gaze alike a cold arrow, with a rare and strong killing intent.
Ming Ru had never seen the always gentle and good-tempered crown prince in such a mad fury, she shivered, and pinched the handkerchief in her hand until it was out of shape, as her face could no longer hang on to her smile. She remained silent.
Zhao Zhi’s cold eyes stared at her, “I’ve asked you something.”
Ming Ru’s back broke up in cold sweat, now she was really starting to regret a little bit, she shouldn’t have spoke up just now, she felt upset and resentful, why was the crown prince so protective of this b*tch? They couldn’t even say two sentences about her, and if she was unhappy, then they would be put in a difficult situation.
There was a timid girl that was extremely terrified and, unable to bear it anymore, she took the initiative to open her mouth: “The wife of the shizi said that miss Ming Zhu is a concubine, and isn’t qualified to …….”
She spoke while shaking, and only dared to say half of the words she was originally going to say, leaving over half of her sentence.
……
What happened at the flower banquet didn’t take long to spread everywhere.
It turned out that the crown prince’s once-favored concubine had not been burned to death in a fire, and not only that, but this lowly miss, using the fact that she had given birth to a child, shook off her original status and became the crown princess.
The crown prince got angry at the banquet and punished a lot of people.
Ming Ru greatly lost face in public, and while she was sitting on the carriage back to her residence, she still couldn’t catch her breath. When she arrived to the marquis’s residence, she was scolded by the matriarch of the family once again.
When Ming Ru first married into the marquis’s residence, her life was not bad. But after being married for more than a year, there was still no movement in her belly, so the matriarch gradually grew dissatisfied, she mentioned the matter several times, asking her to invite a doctor to take a look.
Ming Ru was also anxious in her heart, she invited several famous doctors in the capital, but nothing could be found.
She did not dare to have her husband also be checked, and could only swallow the bitter water on her own.
The matriarch’s dissatisfaction was deepening day by day, and felt like she was eyesore the more she saw her, she had to pick out her faults even when she was eating or drinking. Ming Ru just tolerated it, but recently she really could not bear it anymore, and retorted back: “The doctor said I’m in very good health.”
The matriarch burst into a rage after hearing this, she glared at her, “What do you mean by this?”
The matriarch, full of anger, continued, “You yourself can’t get pregnant, and now you’re even throwing dirty water on my son, tomorrow I’m going to add two thoughtful girls to his bedchamber.”
Ming Ru was so angry she wanted to die, what she hated most in this life were precisely lowly servant girls who climbed their master’s bed.
But the matriarch really did send two beautiful as flowers girls into her husband’s bedchamber, what was even more annoying was that, a few days ago, that b*tch had been really diagnosed with a pregnant pulse.
Ming Ru was upset and distraught with anxiety. And now that she knew that Ming Zhu, that b*tch, was still alive, and that this mountain chicken had turned into a phoenix, her mood became even worse!
Each and everyone of them were determined to climb on top of her head !
