Marquis Wu’s Mansion. Above the Lotus Pond.
Wu Xufan just inexplicably stared at Xiao Hezhen.
Coming back from the Imperial Palace, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became on the road.
What evil had possessed him to actually go save Yuan Wenkang.
Yuan Wenkang had stolen his Hezhen, he should have seen him being mercilessly tormented, yet he did such a foolish act.
On the way back, he thought about drowning his sorrows in a tavern, to soothe his depressive mood, but then he thought if he went out and indulged, Xiao Hezhen would think even less of him, so he endured it and returned home, still feeling stifled, and then had drinks and snacks prepared to drink sullenly at home.
Xiao Hezhen overturned his entire table.
This is... encountering a demon.
When has the Princess ever been so unruly.
In his presence, truly, every word and action, was completely disguised.
He looked at Xiao Hezhen in astonishment.
Xiao Hezhen’s face was extremely red, most likely from anger.
At this moment, having flipped his table over, she yelled at him loudly, "Where did you take Yuan Wenkang?!"
It’s because of Yuan Wenkang.
He should have known, Xiao Hezhen lashing out at him, showing her own feelings, it was definitely because of someone else.
And he, was still secretly hoping.
Wu Xufan let out a cold laugh.
"How would the Princess know that I took Yuan Wenkang from the Imperial Palace? Could it be that the Princess had someone inquire in the Imperial Palace?" Wu Xufan said sarcastically.
Xiao Hezhen’s eyes were red with tears, "Wu Xufan, where exactly did you take Yuan Wenkang? What exactly have you done to him?!"
"The more you want to know, the less I will tell you!" Wu Xufan did it on purpose to provoke.
On purpose, to anger Xiao Hezhen to death.
Let you care about Yuan Wenkang, let you care!
I just won’t tell you.
"Wu Xufan!" Xiao Hezhen trembled with anger.
Can’t Wu Xufan really feel her distress?!
Is it the more distressed she is, the happier he becomes?!
Just more intent on purposely bullying her.
Xiao Hezhen glared fiercely at Wu Xufan’s nonchalant expression, she also knew that for someone like Wu Xufan, he was truly not worth any expectations, the things he had done, how could he admit them, but if, Wu Xufan really killed Yuan Wenkang... She would perish together with Wu Xufan!
Xiao Hezhen turned and walked away.
If Wu Xufan wouldn’t tell her where Yuan Wenkang was, she would find him herself.
Just as she turned around.
Her arm was violently grabbed by Wu Xufan.
The force was so strong, she couldn’t move at all.
"Let go of me!" Xiao Hezhen shouted furiously at Wu Xufan.
"What, planning to go find Yuan Wenkang?"
"Yes!" Xiao Hezhen stopped hiding it.
Suddenly admitting it.
Made Wu Xufan’s heart sting.
Finally unable to hide it any longer.
Unable to hide her feelings for Yuan Wenkang anymore!
Finally willing to openly admit it.
"Let go of me, I want to see Yuan Wenkang!"
"What if I say, he’s already been killed..."
"Slap!" Xiao Hezhen fiercely slapped Wu Xufan across the face.
The servant at this moment was kneeling on the ground, already shaking with fright.
Now this slap, directly stunned her in place.
Having followed the Princess for so many years, she had never seen the Princess lose her temper to anyone.
It seemed only in front of the Prince Consort she would truly lose control of her emotions.
Wu Xufan touched his own face.
Xiao Hezhen’s slap was really not light.
"If you killed him, I will kill you!" Xiao Hezhen said, frantically struggling to break free of Wu Xufan’s restraint.
Wu Xufan also had never been one to control his own temper.
He yelled at Xiao Hezhen, "Xiao Hezhen, are you blind? Rejecting a young, handsome man like me, yet you fancy Yuan Wenkang that old man, what’s so good about him? What makes him worth your affection?! He’s old enough to be your father, and you still want to like him, don’t you think you’re sick?!"
"I’m not sick!" Xiao Hezhen was also furious, "You can’t compare to Yuan Wenkang at all!"
Wu Xufan gritted his teeth as he glared at Xiao Hezhen.
He really couldn’t understand, where exactly was he inferior to Yuan Wenkang?!
Birth, appearance, status, martial arts, tactics... in which aspect was he inferior to that old man, Yuan Wenkang!
"Xiao Hezhen, do you know, once I report your feelings for Yuan Wenkang to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, what will you and Yuan Wenkang suffer?!" Wu Xufan threatened, threatening her fiercely.
At this moment, Xiao Hezhen seemed to calm down a bit.
