The Great Planned Marriage: Becoming A Splendid Princess Chapter 68

When Mo Junyang just mentioned s.h.i.+ Baoning, someone came to report that Infanta Baoning asked for an appointment.

s.h.i.+ Qingxue looked at Mo Junyang and was inexplicably embarra.s.sed. She subconsciously said, “How about your going back first?”

The two were even more embarra.s.sed.

They were just bandaging the wound. Why did she have to make it like a cheating?

s.h.i.+ Qingxue looked away embarra.s.singly. Fortunately, Mo Junyang didn't go into it seriously, but just nodded as an agreement. In order not to embarra.s.s her, he even left from the back door.

But this was more like a cheating!

s.h.i.+ Qingxue was speechless. She faced the opened rear window and was stunned for a long while. Then Dong Shuang covered her eyes and pushed the door, entering the room.

Her hand spread wide enough for her to peep. She almost saw it all with her big eyes completely showed between her fingers. It was obvious that she came in to be a looker-on.

s.h.i.+ Qingxue was speechless, “What's the matter?”

“Huh?” Dong Shuang looked around after entering the room, and asked curiously, “Where's that person? Why is he gone?”

s.h.i.+ Qingxue, “…”

She took a deep breath and decided not to mind this little girl. She asked again, “What's the matter?”

“Yes. First Lady sends you a letter, and I bring it for you.” Dong Shuang handed the envelope to s.h.i.+ Qingxue, and didn't forget to look around at the same time.

When she was sure that there wasn't anyone else in the room, she still didn't give up asking, “Sixth Lady, where is King Rui's eldest son?”

s.h.i.+ Qingxue glanced at Dong Shuang angrily, ignoring her rolling eyes, and paid her attention to that letter in her hand.

She thought that s.h.i.+ Baoning would come to her in person, but she didn't expect it to be just a letter.

s.h.i.+ Qingxue couldn't tell whether she was relieved or disappointed. Anyway, she was not ready to confront s.h.i.+ Baoning. She couldn't be ready.

She was even unwilling to think about it. Then she opened the envelope.

“Sisterhood is under the locust tree. Our appointment is after dusk.”

“What is it?” Dong Shuang had never understood the boundary between master and subordinate. When s.h.i.+ Qingxue just opened the envelope, she came up to read but didn't understand it.

s.h.i.+ Qingxue put the letter on the table and didn't hide it from Dong Shuang, “Baoning asks me to meet her under the locust tree in the Back Mountain after dusk.”

Dong Shuang was confused, “Why? Can't she just tell you straightforwardly now? Why do you have to go to that kind of gloomy place after dusk?”

They had been here for so many days. The abbot just showed them around the Peace Temple on the first day. No one went to the Back Mountain in normal time!

s.h.i.+ Qingxue ignored Dong Shuang's mumble. She was in puzzle. Her brain finally reacted after she knew Mo Junyang shared the same experience with her. She was not as calm as she had thought. How could she let Mo Junyang go before she hadn't made it clear?

“Well, forget it. There will always be a chance.” She and Mo Junyang were both a little absent-minded today. It was really not a good time to talk about it.

Dong Shuang stared at s.h.i.+ Qingxue strangely and asked, “Sixth Lady, what are you thinking of?”

s.h.i.+ Qingxue finally gained back her consciousness. She looked guilty but pretended to be calm and made it up, “Nothing. I'm just thinking what Baoning will tell me later.”

Dong Shuang didn't doubt her. She nodded but still refuted, “Are you really going to meet her?”

“Yes.” s.h.i.+ Qingxue didn't explain.

No matter whether she would get an explanation from her or completely break up with her, she should meet s.h.i.+ Baoning. She liked to be simple, even if the truth might hurt.

s.h.i.+ Qingxue went to the Back Mountain with a mood of autosadism, and Dong Shuang couldn't persuade her. But when she got to the locust tree, she didn't see s.h.i.+ Baoning.

s.h.i.+ Qingxue waited for a while, and her face was painful blown by the cold wind. She had to warm her hands with her breath and then rub her face. But it was useless. She was still cold.

It was completely dark, and the cold wind screamed. It had been a long time, and she also began to be afraid. She called in a low voice, “Baoning, Baoning, are you here?”

There was no response.

Couldn't it be possible that s.h.i.+ Baoning had forgotten this appointment?

s.h.i.+ Qingxue couldn't wait any longer. She stomped her feet and wanted to go back to the room to find s.h.i.+ Baoning. But when she just turned around, a tall figure which suddenly appeared behind her startled her.

“Ah!” s.h.i.+ Qingxue shouted and took a few steps backwards. She stopped until she leaned against the locust tree. Staring at the strange man in front of her in panic, she asked sharply, “Who are you? Why are you here?”

The strange man showed an obscene smile and slowly approached s.h.i.+ Qingxue. He also said, “Girl, wasn't it you who had asked me to meet you here?”

Saying that, he also tried to touch s.h.i.+ Qingxue's face.

s.h.i.+ Qingxue ducked sideways, and the fear in her heart increased. But she still forced herself to look calm, and yelled, “How dare you! I am the second daughter of Duke s.h.i.+. How can you bully me at will? If you don't want to get into trouble, leave hurriedly. We can pretend this never happens. Otherwise, the s.h.i.+ Family won't let go of you!”

She thought that she was accidentally caught by a strange man pa.s.sing by, so she told him her ident.i.ty sternly and quickly. Anyone who was smart wouldn't be willing to provoke the officials and the n.o.bles.

The man's face showed hesitation and undetectable fear. But before s.h.i.+ Qingxue was relieved, he suddenly rushed toward her.

s.h.i.+ Qingxue was unprepared. The man grabbed her sleeve, and his dirty big hand grabbed her right hand.

So disgusting.

Fear evacuated Qingxue's mind of reason. She yelled in fright, and slapped the man regardless of her injured right hand, trying to break free from him.

But the man was so strong that, like a viper, he grabbed a corner of her clothes and quickly entangled her. No matter how s.h.i.+ Qingxue kicked him, she couldn't escape.

“Where do you try to run, girl? Just be obedient to me!” The man grinned grimly. His eyes were glowing. He stared at Qingxue's soft b.r.e.a.s.t.s, and he was about to drool.

“No, let me go! Or I will make you live a suffering life!” s.h.i.+ Qingxue was terrified and desperately waved her hands to resist. She didn't realize that her right hand started to bleed again, and she also didn't feel the pain.

However, she forgot that the threat issued by the weak could only arouse the perpetrator's greatest malice and make him want to find his pride back on her!

The man smiled grimly. He grabbed s.h.i.+ Qingxue's right wrist with his big hands and folded it fiercely. Her wrist made a “click” sound. Then he pressed s.h.i.+ Qingxue to the ground by his body, “Then I should make you enjoy first now.”

He tried to pull s.h.i.+ Qingxue's clothes, but s.h.i.+ Qingxue struggled to resist too hard. She shouted and hit him when he released her a little. He could only press s.h.i.+ Qingxue's lower body with his legs and hold her hands with his hands and raise them above her head. He was sitting on Qingxue's body, and then he thought he succeeded and laughed, “You should shout! The louder you yell, the better I will feel. This is s.e.xy!”

s.h.i.+ Qingxue had never been treated so violently for two lifetimes. Seeing that the man had begun to pull off her clothes, she raised her head and bit his hand.

With all her strength.

“Ah!”

This time it was his turn to scream. He tried to withdraw his hand but Qingxue bit him so tight that he couldn't pull his hand back. If he withdrew forcibly, his flesh might be torn off.

The man yelled in pain, “You release my hand now! Let me go!”

s.h.i.+ Qingxue bit even tighter and didn't let go of his hand. She knew that it wouldn't last long, but she had no other ways any more. She just held her breath and kept biting him.

The back of the man's hand was painful, and there was a smell of blood. He was so angry that he scolded, “d.a.m.n it! I have given you the opportunity, but you don't want it. I am going to beat you to death!”

When he said that, he raised the other hand and was going to slap s.h.i.+ Qingxue's face.

s.h.i.+ Qingxue closed her eyes in horror, only remembering one thing that she couldn't relax her bite even if she died.

But the expected pain did not come, and the scolding voice was gone.

She opened her eyes silently, and saw that the man who bullied her remained in the position when he was about to slap her, like a dead man.

s.h.i.+ Qingxue didn't realize what had happened yet. When her hands were free, she pushed away the person on her fiercely. He was successfully pushed away and fell straight to the ground.

There was no suppression or scolding.

At this time, a familiar call arose next to her ears, “Qingxue.”

From far to near, it was right behind her.

When s.h.i.+ Qingxue wanted to stand up, he picked her up first and held her tightly in his arms.

A familiar and gentle breath rushed to her face. Without looking up, s.h.i.+ Qingxue knew that the person holding her was Mo Junyang.

Fear, grievance, pain… All feelings were magnified infinitely. s.h.i.+ Qingxue grabbed Mo Junyang's neck in horror tightly, as if she had grabbed the last life-saving straw.

Tears slipped down from her face, “Mo Junyang, I'm so scared, so scared…”

Since her rebirth, s.h.i.+ Qingxue had always thought that she was indestructible. No matter what trouble she met with, she was able to turn the danger into peace. Even when she encountered the a.s.sa.s.sination, she had the confidence to grab the bow and arrows to fight them. But what had happened today caught her unprepared, and she was terrified.

Mo Junyang also hugged s.h.i.+ Qingxue tightly, fearing that once he released her a little, she would disappear. For the first time, emotions such as fear and distress appeared on his indifferent face.

While holding s.h.i.+ Qingxue, he coaxed her in a low voice, “It's okay. Everything will be fine. I'm here. No one will hurt you again.”

Mentioning the man who had hurt s.h.i.+ Qingxue, the bloodthirsty fierceness was showed in Mo Junyang's eyes, but it was quickly suppressed by his anxiety, “Are you injured? Can I have a check?”

s.h.i.+ Qingxue cried for a while before she reluctantly stopped. She let Mo Junyang grab her hands in front of her unwillingly.

The concern that could not be concealed on the man's face made s.h.i.+ Qingxue's fear dissipate a lot, but her grievance gradually rose up.

She couldn't hold back and her mouth crumpled again, “Mo Junyang, it hurts. It hurts so much.”

The wound that had just been bandaged was bleeding again because of the fight. The blood stained most of s.h.i.+ Qingxue's sleeve.

Mo Junyang felt painful in his heart, he held s.h.i.+ Qingxue up and walked away, “Let's go back.”

“Okay.” s.h.i.+ Qingxue was a little unaccustomed to being imprisoned and immobile in his arms, but the man holding her made her feel safe, so she no longer struggled. She leaned on Mo Junyang obediently and let him hold her walking away.

But after a few steps, she felt that something was wrong, and shouted, “Mo Junyang, where are we going? Aren't we going back?”

This was not the way back to her room!
