Mercenary Princess - Chapter 179
"left."
As soon as he finished speaking, I was astonished to find that he smiled.
The weather was beautiful, the moon was bright, and spring had returned to the earth. It was so dazzling, so radiant.
"I knew it, my mistress wouldn't do this to me..." he murmured tenderly as he collapsed...
The injury was not fatal, and he regained consciousness after being unconscious for two days.
The first thing they did upon regaining consciousness was to release me from the prison.
"You can go now," he said.
Let's go, oh well.
It's not too late to come back when my jealousy has reached its peak.
Two months later, I returned to the palace, and my mannerisms, which were seven-tenths similar to those of that woman, once again captivated Tuoba Chen's eyes.
This time, the price he paid was that his nephew, Tuoba Hao, almost lost his life at my hands.
"Get out! I never want to see you again!"
After being banished from the palace for the second time, a plan suddenly came to me. If I deceived him again and again, wouldn't it be that even if that woman returned, her beloved man would no longer believe her?
This idea thrilled me. With this thought in mind, a month later, I returned to the palace with my newborn daughter, claiming she was his daughter, and fooled him again.
This time, I killed the leader of the secret guards who was on good terms with him.
This time he was truly enraged.
After slapping me, he threw me and my daughter out of the palace and told me that the next time he saw me would be the day I died.
This statement really excited me.
Imagining Tuoba Chen killing her, my whole body was boiling with excitement!
Upon learning that I had failed three times in stealing the immortal herb, the man named Tuoba Jie pointed at my nose and cursed me a few times as an idiot. Then, his left attendant carried me out through the gate, presumably to find another way!
I learned this by chance: the largest restaurant in the city, Pear Blossom Restaurant, is owned by Chu Xuyao.
I had the innkeeper deliver a message to Chu Xuyao, saying that I needed to discuss something with him. Half a month later, in the private room of Pear Blossom Pavilion, I met with Chu Xuyao with my daughter.
"Speak, what is it?" Chu Xuyao asked impatiently, holding his wine glass.
I shoved Gouwa into his arms, turned around and walked away, completely ignoring Gouwa's heart-wrenching cries.
"Liu Rongyue, stop right there!"
He blocked my way, staring at me darkly: "What do you mean?"
"What do you mean? What do you think? Are you trying to renege on your promises after just one night of passion?"
"Don't talk nonsense! Nothing happened between us that night!"
I smiled gently as I watched him, his hair standing on end in fury, and I felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction.
How wonderful it would be if everyone hated you!
"Fine, I'll pretend nothing happened. But give me the money!"
His face immediately turned green: "We never had anything going on!"
"Fine, don't give it to me then." I pretended to turn and leave, but unsurprisingly, he grabbed me.
"Lucky you!"
"Sir, what is it?"
"Bring me the jewelry box from my room!"
"Yes, sir."
"Liu Rongyue, don't bother me again from now on!"
"Don't worry, I won't bother you. After all, you're not the person I like..."
"Don't even think about fooling Lie! Don't think I don't know what you did in the Southern Kingdom's palace. I'm warning you, Lie isn't a fool like Tuoba Chen. You'd better stop with your little tricks! If you anger Lie, he'll make you wish you were dead!"
Cousin, will you make me wish I were dead...?
I chuckled to myself. At this point, what am I still hoping for?
Clutching the jewels, I hid in a small ravine not far from the capital, where I lived day after day, without knowing why I lived or how long I planned to live. I drifted through life aimlessly. Though I didn't know why, I always felt that my days were numbered…
When that shrewish wife of the nouveau riche framed me and drowned me in a pig cage, I knew my days were numbered…
In the instant I was mercilessly submerged by the water, I seemed to see a layer of white light above my head. In that light, my mother, with my younger brother whom I had never met, beckoned to me, inviting me to join them in the afterlife…
Side Story 2: Running Away from the Bride
A woman marrying two husbands?!
This was probably the funniest joke she had ever heard!
Absurd!! Ridiculous!!
Damn it! She would never agree to this, even if you beat her to death!!!
