An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 153 Evil As A Viper (Part One)

When Wen Ruyu saw the deep scars bleeding on Yun Shang's face, she jeered. "You look pretty. Are NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

you going to seduce men looking like that? Oh, you didn't think this was the end, did you?" Wen Ruyu

clapped her hands and two men walked in. They wore rags, and seemed to be beggars from the street.

"This woman is yours now. Give her an unforgettable night... Ha-ha..." Then she turned and stepped

aside.

The two beggars who were just pulled off the street, looked at each other speechless. The lady told

them they would get two taels of silver once they finished the task she gave them. Two taels would

cover their living costs for almost six months, so they didn't hesitate.

However, they didn't expect to find the task so satisfying. Although the woman on the bed had a face

that was mutilated, her figure was quite enticing.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Do it now. If you don't, you will not get the money. However, if your

performance satisfies me, I can give you each 5 taels of silver." Ruyu looked at them coldly.

Hearing that the reward was doubled, the beggars exchanged a look and without hesitation, jumped

onto the haystack. They tore the woman's clothes to shreds, threw them away, and covered her with

their bodies.

"Ha-ha ha-ha..." Wen Ruyu walked out, laughing loudly.

She didn't know everything was witnessed by the couple hiding on the roof. Yun Shang, had a stern

look, and was being held by her wrist. The man next to her was Prince Jing, who had a severe look as

well. Yun Shang stopped gnashing her teeth and smiling said, "I'm fine."

Just now, seeing Wen Ruyu cut that woman with a sword, Yun Shang almost rushed in to kill Wen

Ruyu. Yun Shang sneered. Why would anyone want to disfigure another person? In her previous life,

Hua Jing did the same thing to her. Wen Ruyu was another example. They might share similar vicious

characters. Hua Jing ruined her face and incited Mo Jingran to throw her child out the window, which

led to his death. Wen Ruyu intended to cut her face and humiliate her by having beggars rape her.

Yun Shang decided that she would not let either of them off the hook.

Yun Shang looked at the woman on the bed. The two beggars had stripped her completely and they

were planting kisses all over her body. The stronger one pushed the other one away, lifted her leg and

entered her body. The other one was left no recourse but to turn to her mouth instead.

Yun Shang was smiling coldly, wondering what Wen Clan's reaction would be tomorrow when they

learned the identity of the woman.

Suddenly, her eyes were covered. Yun Shang froze, hearing Prince Jing say awkwardly. "Were you

enjoying the scene? Um?"

It sounded like a warning.

Yun Shang restrained herself from killing Wen Ruyu and let Prince Jing take her from Wen Mansion

holding her by the waist.

"Are you going back to the Palace?" Back at his Mansion, Prince Jing frowned when he saw Yun

Shang lost in thought. He asked her gently.

Yun Shang shook her head, smiling, "Not yet. If I go back now, how is she going to keep the show up?"

After answering, she was back in a daze, thinking again.

Prince Jing sighed. He swore if he had the chance, he would torture Wen Ruyu with all his pain and

then cut her to pieces. Just thinking about the possibility that his guard could have lost Yun Shang and

she could be the one on that bed tonight was unbearable.

"Uncle..." After a while, a soft voice woke him. Prince Jing hid the hatred in his eyes before looking at

Yun Shang carelessly. "What's wrong?"

Yun Shang had thought things over and said seriously, "I kind of feel like a lot of strange things are

happening, since the delegations came to Imperial City. There have been so many coincidences that

I'm starting to think they are targeting me."

Prince Jing looked at Yun Shang, "Are you talking about Prince Qingsu?"

Yun Shang shook head. "Although I don't know Prince Qingsu well, I have this feeling that this is not his

way of doing things. I suspect Prince Houjing of the State of Xia. He excused himself from all the feasts

after the first one at the Palace, claiming he wasn't feeling well. But if he is indeed that weak, why

would the Emperor of the State of Xia send him here in the first place?"

Prince Jing remained silent. Yun Shang kept talking, "Then, all the incidents seem to target me.

Although I beat them each time, I don't feel comfortable. It was almost too easy. I think they all all

related somehow. I have been thinking about it for a while, but I haven't quite got it figured out yet."

"What do you think, uncle?" Yun Shang turned to Prince Jing with her hand supporting her head as

though she had a headache.

Prince Jing collected his thoughts and stood, "It's getting late, you need to get some rest. I'll take care

of it." He was about to leave when his sleeve was tugged at gently.

Prince Jing looked down at Yun Shang sitting on the chair with a determined look. She appeared

slightly childish almost like other girls at her age, but her expression was hard to overlook. "Uncle, if

you know anything, please tell me. It is about me anyway. I want to be told the truth. Besides, uncle,

you know I'm more than a girlish princess."

Her words reminded Prince Jing of the tactics this woman was capable of. Undoubtedly she was more

than a girlish princess. Quite the opposite, she was a strong force.

Prince Jing thought for a moment and agreed, "Alright. I will keep you informed. Now, it's very late. Get

some rest."

Yun Shang nodded and went to the bed.

The next morning, there was a massive uproar at Wen Mansion. The messenger from Shun Qing

Mansion reported that Lady Ruxin, who was supposed to be resting in bed with a headache, had

disappeared. She was nowhere to be found even after making round multiple times. Considering Lady

Ruxin had a quarrel with her husband a few days ago, it was believed that she might have gone back

to Wen Mansion for relaxing.

Finding Lady Ruxin was the major priority now. Although Wen Yunqing said that Lady Ruxin was not in

Wen Mansion, he worried that his spoiled daughter was hiding somewhere here at home. As a child

she would play hide and seek, so she knew exactly where she could hide herself in the mansion.

Thus, Wen Yunqing sent his people in secret to search the entire mansion, except the side yard where

Wen Ruyu was keeping Yun Shang. Afraid that people from Shun Qing Mansion might come to look for

Lady Ruxin, Wen Ruyu rushed back to the side yard and sent two servants ahead, to check the

situation inside. Malicious as she was, she had to think of her reputation, since she wasn't married yet.

The servants didn't respond, even after a long while, which upset the frowning Wen Ruyu. She heard a

scream from inside.

"What's wrong? What's happened?" Ruyu trembled as she walked up to the door. Instead of opening

the door, she inquired in a hushed tone from outside.

She heard footsteps rushing to the door, which suddenly flung open. Unprepared, Wen Ruyu almost fell

over. She caught herself and staggered forwards as she regained her balance.

"What on earth has happened?! Tell me now!" Wen Ruyu was growing impatient and asked them again

sternly.

The two servants looked dreadfully pale were muttering, "It's horrible, My Lady. It's horrible."

"What is horrible? Did she die? Did the two beggars die? If Yun Shang died, go inform father. If the

beggars died, well, just bury them somewhere out there. What's the big deal? "
