Mu Yunhe asked awkwardly, "Where are you going? Where are we?" Only then did Mu Yunhe realize the cramped surroundings, and his expression immediately changed. He roared, "Luo Zhiheng! Where did you bring me? Where is this! Speak!"
His furious appearance was exceptionally violent and terrifying because of the blood he had been tainted by the previous two nights. His brows and eyes were filled with a ruthless ferocity, the kind of cruelty that only comes from witnessing or even personally stained with blood and taking lives.
Luo Ningshuang was startled and was pulled down onto the soft couch by Mu Yunhe's weak strength, unable to react in a daze.
Is this man, so full of masculine dominance, really Mu Yunhe?! Shouldn't Mu Yunhe always be gentle and mild-mannered?!
However, it cannot be denied that this version of Mu Yunhe is more charming and more captivating. His sickly, frail beauty no longer makes him seem weak, but rather inspires fear and apprehension!
Mu Yunhe was truly enraged. It was obvious that they were in a carriage, which meant they had left the Prince's residence. Today was the day Luo Zhiheng had been talking about setting off, and it seemed that Luo Zhiheng had used a dirty trick on him, leaving him with no choice but to go to the Southern Dynasty with Luo Zhiheng.
Mu Yunhe could never accept this rescue; it was a disgrace! To have his woman sacrifice her own body for him, just to gain a chance at life—Mu Yunhe would rather die than accept it! But he couldn't explain it to Luo Zhiheng. He couldn't stab her heart again. If Luo Zhiheng pretended nothing was wrong, he would pretend nothing had happened. Aheng would still be his purest, happiest Aheng, belonging only to him!
But he just couldn't accept going to the Southern Dynasty for treatment!
He had been suppressing his anger for several days, and at this moment he finally exploded. He roared viciously and without any reason, "Can't you remember what I said? Have you forgotten that I said I wouldn't go to the Southern Dynasty? What else can you do besides outwardly obeying me? Luo Zhiheng, do you even have any respect for me? Go back now! I'm not going to the Southern Dynasty, and I don't need that person's help! If you won't go back with me, then don't ever come back to the palace!"
Luo Ningshuang froze completely. What was going on? Could she have been unlucky enough to be mistaken for Luo Zhiheng by Mu Yunhe? Such cursing and vicious temper made Luo Ningshuang tremble with fear, but at the same time, she couldn't help but feel smug. She thought Luo Zhiheng was enjoying a lot of happiness and being pampered by Mu Yunhe, but it turned out that Luo Zhiheng was being treated like a human being by Mu Yunhe, being cursed and ordered around like that?
Serves him right!
Seeing that she had no reaction at all, but there seemed to be a strange, disdainful smile on her lips, Mu Yunhe felt a pang of pain in his heart. He thought that Luo Zhiheng didn't care about his words anymore, and his anger flared up even more. He smashed the teacup out of her hand with great force, so hard that his fingernails even scratched the back of Luo Ningshuang's hand. The teacup landed on the blanket with a dull thud.
With a painful scream from Luo Ningshuang, the carriage fell silent instantly.
Mu Yunhe also regained his senses amidst the screams. Staring in astonishment at the injury on her hand, he grabbed her hand as if suddenly coming to life, frantically rubbing and blowing on it, repeatedly saying, "Aheng, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, does it hurt? I didn't mean to, you really drove me crazy, does it hurt, Aheng?"
She was injured, and he seemed to be in even more pain than she was.
Luo Ningshuang felt a strange sweetness in her heart, but he kept calling out Aheng's name, and she was so resentful and jealous, yet she still whispered as if possessed, "No, it doesn't hurt, don't be nervous."
It would have been better if she hadn't spoken, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Mu Yunhe immediately stopped all his movements, voices, and emotions!
"What's wrong with your throat?" Mu Yunhe asked curiously. Why did it sound like Xiao Xizi's voice, as if her manhood had been cut off? Suddenly, Mu Yunhe's hand holding hers stiffened, and he abruptly flipped Luo Ningshuang's hand open. What he saw was a smooth and delicate skin, as smooth as cream, without a single scratch or callus!
This isn't Ah Heng's hand!!
"You're not Aheng! Who are you?" Mu Yunhe almost stopped thinking and grabbed Luo Ningshuang's wrist tightly, his voice filled with vicious anger. Luo Zhiheng had been dancing and wielding spears for many years, and although her hands were still soft, they were no longer the delicate hands of a pampered young girl. The calluses on her hands were the treasures he cherished in his palms!
The person before him didn't have calluses, and her voice had changed; she definitely wasn't his Aheng!! 15974654
Luo Ning Shuang panicked and quickly lowered her head, her eyes filled with shock and embarrassment! It was unbelievable that he, in his rage, had determined she wasn't Luo Zhi Heng based solely on a voice and a pair of hands?! How could this be? Even if they were very familiar with each other, how could Mu Yun He and Luo Zhi Heng have such a tacit understanding and familiarity?!
Luo Ningshuang was momentarily at a loss for what to do, and in her panic, she only wanted to escape. She was heartbroken; Mu Yunhe didn't recognize her anymore. But upon reflection, this was the first time in their lives they had truly met up close. They had been such strangers in their previous life, how much more so in this one?
She tried to escape, but Mu Yunhe wouldn't allow this person who dared to impersonate Luo Zhiheng to leave so easily. He tightened his grip on her wrist and suddenly roared violently, "You're Luo Ningshuang?! What are you doing here? Where did you take my Aheng?! Speak! If you don't, I'll kill you right now!"
Luo Ningshuang was heartbroken, her hatred intensifying. Where had she taken her Aheng? Hahaha, how ridiculous! She wanted to shout to Mu Yunhe, "Your Aheng has left with another man, so handsome he inspires envy! He doesn't want you anymore! That man is rich, charming, healthy, and strong! What makes you think Luo Zhiheng is yours? Your Aheng? What was I to you in my past life? Did you ever consider me your Shuang'er?"
Hatred brought tears to Luo Ningshuang's eyes. She wanted to mock Mu Yunhe, thinking, "You think you can't hurt her even after several lifetimes?" But Mu Yunhe's狰狞 (zhengning, meaning ferocious and sinister) face made her unable to utter a single word of those words, which she was so confident about! Not that she couldn't, but that she dared not! The killing intent in Mu Yunhe's eyes was so obvious and ferocious; his gaze was like a sharp sword, capable of tearing her apart in an instant!
Just then, the quiet carriage curtain was suddenly lifted from the outside, and in an instant, three people, six pairs of eyes, could not escape each other's gaze! A moment of intense eye contact ensued, a battle of wills raging in the air, instantly unleashing an unseen storm.

Updated: 2013-07-16 11:33:39 Word Count: 7775
The long cane lifted the carriage curtain, and the slowly opening curtain revealed an undeniable scene. Outside the curtain, Luo Zhiheng stood there indifferently, raising her eyebrows, curling her lips, and her eyes filled with a mocking and cold light!
"Holding hands? How sweet!" As soon as Luo Zhiheng spoke, the surrounding air seemed to drop rapidly, freezing three feet deep. Her eyes and brows were filled with a cold, sharp edge! She glanced at Mu Yunhe with a half-smile. Her expression was smiling, but her gaze instantly turned into a sharp steel knife, instantly attacking Mu Yunhe's hand that was holding Luo Ningshuang, wishing she could chop Mu Yunhe's claws to pieces!
Mu Yunhe stared at Luo Zhiheng in shock. Although he didn't understand emotions and had no experience with love, he was still quite adept at the conditioned reflexes of love. He froze the moment Luo Zhiheng appeared, and her murderous gaze made him inexplicably guilty and flustered. The hand in his hand felt like a hot potato, and he angrily threw it away.
Luo Ningshuang was jolted, her stiff body nearly collapsing to the side, her side slamming into the corner of the small table in front of her. She groaned in pain, her face paling even more.
She was already angry at being used as a punching bag by Mu Yunhe, and then being caught red-handed by Luo Zhiheng made her feel even more humiliated. But nothing compared to Mu Yunhe's disgusted and aloof departure! Utterly shameful, utterly devoid of dignity!
But damn it, she couldn't get angry! She had to continue pretending to be weak! Only in this way could Mu Yunhe clearly see the difference between her and Luo Zhiheng, giving Mu Yunhe, who had never been in contact with other women, a more comprehensive understanding. Only in this way could Mu Yunhe hate Luo Zhiheng even more!
Luo Ningshuang arrogantly believed that Mu Yunhe's kindness towards Luo Zhiheng stemmed from only one reason: Mu Yunhe had never been in contact with women outside the home, and Luo Zhiheng was indeed quite unconventional, which was undeniably attractive to Mu Yunhe, who had long hidden in the shadows.
What man doesn't like a gentle, kind, and charming woman? Luo Zhiheng attracted Mu Yunhe with her uniqueness and singularity. It was because Mu Yunhe didn't know what women were like, and hadn't seen the virtuousness of other women. If she could show Mu Yunhe a completely different side of herself compared to Luo Zhiheng, she wouldn't believe he would still treat Luo Zhiheng so well. Ideally, Mu Yunhe would compare them and then abandon Luo Zhiheng out of disgust. That way, before she could kill Luo Zhiheng, she could thoroughly humiliate her first!
"Sister, please don't misunderstand. There's nothing between me and the young prince. I was just pouring him a glass of water." Luo Ningshuang weakly raised her head and explained softly, her voice full of awe and fear towards Luo Zhiheng. She seemed very afraid of Luo Zhiheng. She thought that this would attract Mu Yunhe's attention or pity.
However, Mu Yunhe's attention wasn't on her at all. To him, Luo Ningshuang was a complete stranger, utterly unimportant. He nervously watched Luo Zhiheng, afraid she might misunderstand that a man and a woman were alone together in a carriage, yet unwilling to explain further, as he was still angry that Luo Zhiheng had brought him out without his consent. But Luo Zhiheng's gaze and expression were utterly unreadable. He coldly and ambiguously explained, "I didn't ask her to pour me water."
Mu Yunhe was telling Luo Zhiheng that Luo Ningshuang was lying and that he had no idea why Luo Ningshuang was here.
Luo Zhiheng maintained a cold expression yet managed a smile, using her cane to lift the carriage curtain, her gaze constantly shifting between the two men. She remained silent and unresponsive, and her strange attitude created a tense atmosphere within the carriage.
"Aheng!" Feeling uncomfortable under Luo Zhiheng's gaze, Mu Yunhe suddenly felt distrusted, and he growled in a low voice, somewhat annoyed and embarrassed. Luo Ningshuang thought that Mu Yunhe was finally going to lash out at Luo Zhiheng the same way he had lashed out at her earlier. But to Luo Ningshuang's utter disappointment and astonishment, Mu Yunhe actually kept a straight face, looked at Luo Zhiheng expectantly, extended his hand to her, and urged in a softer voice, "Come here, where have you been all this time? I didn't see you when I woke up!"
Luo Ningshuang's mouth opened involuntarily, and her eyes almost popped out.
Just moments ago, this man was domineering, fierce, and raging; how could he suddenly become so gentle? It's almost as if he's being affectionate with Luo Zhiheng! This is too bizarre, and too hateful! What's wrong with Mu Yunhe? Luo Zhiheng dared to disrespect him, deceive him, abduct him, and treat him so badly. Shouldn't he have immediately killed Luo Zhiheng? Or divorced her? How come everything changed after seeing Luo Zhiheng?!
Luo Zhiheng ignored Mu Yunhe, her eyelids lifting sharply to the innocent and pure-white Luo Ningshuang beside her, and she said in an unfriendly tone, "Why are you here?"
That persistent ghost!
Luo Ningshuang said innocently, "I came to see my sister. I thought I could meet and chat with her after resting, but she wasn't here. The little prince just woke up and wanted some water, so I just poured him a glass."
Mu Yunhe's icy gaze shot over; he didn't recall asking this woman to pour him water. Why was this woman insisting on saying that? He cautiously glanced at Luo Zhiheng and noticed her expression had grown even colder; Mu Yunhe's heart trembled. 15.
"You mean you're in this convoy too?" Luo Zhiheng narrowed her eyes, shocked. Luo Ningshuang was actually in the convoy, but she had no idea. How could this be?
"Don't you know, sister? Last night, the Prince himself came to our house to invite me to go to the Southern Dynasty with you. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to handle the journey and wouldn't be able to take good care of yourself and the young prince, so I agreed. If anything happens on the way, just tell Shuang'er, and Shuang'er will take good care of you." Luo Ning Shuang smiled innocently and kindly.
What a lovely, kind, thoughtful, and selfless younger sister!
But Luo Zhiheng really doesn't need that! She doesn't need a venomous snake disguised as a beautiful woman by her side!
"I don't need your care, and neither does my Mu Yunhe. Although I don't know why the King would let you come with us, I'm telling you clearly, I don't welcome you. Now I'm giving you two choices: First, you return immediately and get home before dark, because your reason is no reason, and I don't need your care. Second, you stay, but you'd better not let me see you in front of me, otherwise, you'll bear the consequences of whatever happens!" Luo Zhiheng said mercilessly.
The reason she didn't tell Luo Ningshuang to get lost immediately was because she didn't know the purpose and bottom line of this strange and unpredictable Prince Shi. She had to ensure the absolute safety of their group, which meant she couldn't afford to offend the Prince Shi. Driving away someone personally chosen by the Prince Shi would be tantamount to slapping him in the face. She wouldn't do anything to offend the Prince Shi, but she wouldn't make herself unhappy either.
Unexpectedly, Luo Zhiheng was so blunt, leaving her no room to maneuver. Since Luo Zhiheng had said that, if she continued to linger here or appear before Luo Zhiheng, Mu Yunhe might also develop a negative opinion of her.
Luo Ningshuang gritted her teeth in hatred, but her face looked pitiful as if she was about to cry: "I'm sorry, sister, I took it upon myself to do this, but please don't be angry. I'll go back to the carriage right away. I can't go home, after all, it was the Prince who personally invited me."
Luo Ningshuang attempted to use the Prince to suppress Luo Zhiheng's arrogant demeanor. She had been personally invited by the Prince; if Luo Zhiheng dared to insist on driving her away, she would be offending the Prince, and Luo Zhiheng would have to bear the Prince's wrath alone. She feared Luo Zhiheng might not be able to handle it.
You think you can suppress me with the King of the World? I'm not afraid of him at all!
Luo Zhiheng was further enraged by Luo Ningshuang, and pointed at her, shouting, "Get off my carriage right now! If you want to ride in someone else's carriage, go ride in Prince Shi's. Anyway, he sent you here. If you dare to show your face in front of me again and get on my carriage without permission, believe me, I'll slap you across the face!"
Luo Ningshuang's face turned bright red instantly. Being scolded and reprimanded like this, especially in front of Mu Yunhe, who evoked the most complex emotions in her, Luo Ningshuang's mood was understandably ferocious and agitated!
Luo Zhiheng's rudeness and barbarity are utterly shameful. How could her father like someone like her? How could Mu Yunhe be so captivated by such a vulgar and domineering woman? And Xia Beisong! Even Xia Beisong is completely under Luo Zhiheng's thumb!
How could she lose to such a vulgar and despicable person?!
"Sister, how can you say such things? How can Shuang'er face people in the future? Shuang'er got on your carriage because you were here. The Prince is a man, how can Shuang'er, an unmarried girl, get on his carriage? What does your saying mean for Shuang'er's reputation and innocence?" Luo Ning Shuang cried out in fear.
She subtly vilified Luo Zhiheng, every word accusing her of trying to ruin her daughter's reputation after marriage. She simply couldn't believe that someone as conservative as Mu Yunhe wouldn't be angry!
She glanced furtively at Mu Yunhe, but he remained silent, his eyes closed in meditation. Luo Ningshuang's heart sank. Did Mu Yunhe care about Luo Zhiheng more than she had imagined? Even such a serious crime couldn't make Mu Yunhe rebuke Luo Zhiheng?
"A clean reputation? What's that worth? Your sister is maliciously slandered, falsely accused, and insulted all the time, but I'm still alive and well, aren't I? Why can I walk through this world with confidence and ease, but you can't? Or are you so fragile that you can't withstand even the slightest crisis of your reputation? Don't be afraid, you have the Prince Shi. The Prince Shi personally invited you, which shows that you have a special place in his heart." Luo Zhiheng said with a pointed and sarcastic tone.
What are you trying to prove in front of her? You've used the "thief crying 'stop thief!'" trick once, and you think you can use it on her again? Unless you become an immortal!
She has been condemned by the public time and time again, and pushed to the forefront of controversy. Every time she was criticized, it had nothing to do with you, Luo Ningshuang. If someone hadn't maliciously incited public sentiment, how could so many people have defended Luo Ningshuang? And the biggest beneficiary among them was Luo Ningshuang herself. To think that Luo Zhiheng still believed that Luo Ningshuang was innocent and naive was simply a pipe dream and completely impossible!
"What does Sister mean? Shuang'er doesn't understand." Luo Ningshuang pretended to be confused without changing her expression, her eyes brimming with tears, looking quite pitiful.
Luo Zhiheng didn't want to waste any more words with Luo Ningshuang. She pointed her cane at Luo Ningshuang's nose and said, "Stop talking nonsense and get down here right now! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Why do you always target me like this, sister? I only want what's best for you, so why do you always misunderstand me and treat me so harshly? If you tell me to leave, I'll leave right away. But could you please be a little gentler? Aren't you afraid that if the young prince sees you being so fierce and rude, he might have bad thoughts about you?" Luo Ningshuang said earnestly.
"How I speak and act is my business, and it's none of your place to tell me what to do! What kind of person I am in Mu Yunhe's heart is not for you to judge! Who do you think you are? Do you think you're still the fiancée who had her horoscopes read with Mu Yunhe and was about to marry him?" Luo Zhiheng was completely enraged by Luo Ningshuang's obviously provocative words!
She had originally wanted to save face for Luo Ningshuang in front of others, but since Luo Ningshuang herself was shameless, why should she force herself to flatter her? The anger that had been suppressed for so long finally exploded!
Luo Zhiheng leaped onto the carriage, stomping high on the shaft, grabbing the curtain, and nearly poking Luo Ningshuang's nose with her cane. She said fiercely and domineeringly, "This man, Mu Yunhe, is now my man! How I treat him, or what he thinks of me, is between us. No outsider, especially someone as unrelated as you, has any right or status to interfere!"
"From the day I, Luo Zhiheng, married Mu Yunhe, whether it was by chance, fate, or someone secretly doing something despicable, it was destined that Mu Yunhe and I were a couple! Anyone who dares to do anything underhanded outside, you must believe me, I will not hesitate to chop that person up alive! Just like that horse in front of the Mu Prince's mansion that I chopped up alive! Luo Ningshuang, do you want to try it?" Her eyes were sinister, revealing a strong contempt and cruelty, with a bloodthirsty excitement and murderous intent.
Luo Ningshuang was startled, her body involuntarily leaning back, rendered speechless by Luo Zhiheng's undisguisedly cruel words.
People of their generation were very reserved and hypocritical. Even if they were framing and manipulating each other, no one would say it out loud. On the surface, they might even pretend to be very close. So, they often suffered in silence, and when they secretly plotted against each other, they became even more ruthless and vicious.
But Luo Zhiheng is completely unpredictable. She wears her heart on her sleeve, displaying all her emotions—joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. This makes her seem like an easy target, someone could easily find fault with her and find her weaknesses. Strangely, despite her overt methods, Luo Zhiheng manages to suppress everyone with her straightforward arrogance, leaving them utterly powerless!
Force against force, evil against evil—that's the way it is! You're ruthless, I'll be even more ruthless. You play dirty tricks, I'll use open methods to crush you. Let's see who's more vicious!
"Sister, sister, haha, stop joking. I didn't mean anything by it. I just hope that things can get better between you two. After all, you are my closest relatives." Luo Ningshuang's hands and feet were ice-cold, but her heart seemed to be on fire. She was resentful, unwilling, and furious. She had to suppress her anger, and this feeling made her feel like she was about to explode. She wished she could strangle Luo Zhiheng right away.
"This is no joke. What belongs to me, Luo Zhiheng, cannot be coveted by others, even if I don't want it. I won't even glance at what doesn't belong to me, Luo Zhiheng, but since it's already mine, even if I don't like it, even if it came by accident, if anyone dares to touch it, to lay a finger on it, or even to think about it, if I find out, I will find a way to destroy that person, no matter where they are!"
"Be aware of your own status and position. Don't say things you shouldn't, or you risk your life—not everyone can bear that! Also, Mu Yunhe and I are a match made in heaven; our destiny is intertwined, and it has nothing to do with you. I am related to you by blood, and I can't change that. But Mu Yunhe has nothing to do with you. Please don't treat him as your closest person! After all, there's nothing between you. Furthermore, if you mislead me into thinking you still have feelings for Mu Yunhe, I will consider it your delusion and impure motives, and I will use my methods to completely eradicate those sinful thoughts from you!"
Luo Zhiheng warned arrogantly and coldly, using her cane to lift Luo Ningshuang's pale chin, and finally said in a sinister tone: "Although I don't need you to admit it, you must remember that he is my husband, Luo Zhiheng's husband, and he is your brother-in-law!"
If you dare to harbor any improper thoughts, that is incest!
No! He's not!
This was the first time she had been so clearly informed of her relationship with Mu Yunhe—a relationship beyond repair! Luo Ningshuang suddenly realized she couldn't accept it! A voice inside her screamed, "He's not her brother-in-law, he's her husband! He should be Luo Zhiheng's brother-in-law! Why did things turn out this way? She was so unwilling to accept it!"
If she had known that Mu Yunhe would behave this way and be different in this life, she would never have pushed Mu Yunhe to Luo Zhiheng.
However, she was unwilling to watch Luo Zhiheng marry Xia Beisong again, unwilling to watch Luo Zhiheng live a happy and fulfilling life, and unwilling to watch Xia Beisong continue to treat Luo Zhiheng so well! Overwhelmed with resentment, Luo Ningshuang was almost going crazy. Her emotions were somewhat out of control, but she couldn't stand the fact that Luo Zhiheng treated Mu Yunhe as her own possession!
Mu Yunhe must be shocked and disappointed to see Luo Zhiheng like this now, right?
