The entire room was filled with the smell of rotting corpses. Shen Nantang sat cross-legged on the ground and thought for a while. The deeper she thought, the more she wanted to cry. In the end, the tears in her eyes rolled down. She did not cry when she was bullied by everyone. She did not cry when Yun Chuxi whipped her countless times. However, when she thought that her life might be spent in darkness from now on, no matter how strong she was, she finally cried. In life, who did not want to live freely? Who would have thought that his life would be controlled by someone else and become a puppet? He would rather die than live. At this moment, many negative thoughts arose in Shen Nantang's heart.
Therefore, when Rong Gao opened the door of the woodshed, a ray of sunlight shone in from behind him. Looking for the light, Shen Nantang slowly raised his head and looked at the man standing outside the woodshed in confusion.
After settling Yun Chuxi down, Rong Gao did not know what to think. He asked the housekeeper for the key and opened the door of the woodshed. Unexpectedly, the woman's face was covered with tears. She looked at him with misty eyes. At that moment, a certain image flashed in the depths of Rong Gao's heart. When he looked at the woman sitting on the ground again, she had already wiped her tears away and stood up with difficulty.
"Where is this place?" Shen Nantang's face was cold, and his words were devoid of warmth.
Rong Gao frowned slightly, as if he didn't like the way women talked. After a pause, he said,"" This is King Rong's estate.
In the quiet environment, the man's pleasant and magnetic voice made Shen Nantang feel a sense of fear for no reason.
"Is this your home?" Shen Nantang tried hard to suppress the cold feeling in his heart and asked calmly.
Rong Gao didn't say anything. He just looked at Shen Nantang with an unpredictable expression.
"Why did you hurt Xin 'er?" Rong Gao suddenly spoke, and the temperature in the room dropped a lot because of this sentence.
Shen Nantang's eyes widened as he stared at Rong Gao. Why did this man think that she wanted to hurt Yun Chuxi from the beginning? Why did she not touch any part of Yun Chuxi at all?
"I didn't!" Shen Nantang's eyes were firm, and the words that came out of his mouth made Rong Gao absent-minded for no reason. He almost believed her words.
For some reason, Rong Gao suddenly hated the pair of clear and penetrating eyes in front of him. It was as if all life was like the past in her eyes, and all ugliness was decomposed into bubbles in her eyes.
"No?" Rong Gao took a few steps forward and grabbed Shen Nantang's tender neck. He was so strong that Shen Nantang kept hitting his arm.
Am I going to die? Am I going to die? Shen Nantang felt that his eyelids were getting harder and harder to open, and it was getting harder and harder to breathe. It was as if that woman had appeared in front of him again, and her mouth was opening and closing.
" Humph!" Seeing that the woman's condition was not right, Rong Gao realized that he had lost his composure and withdrew his hand.
Cough cough. Breathing in fresh air, Shen Nantang coughed a few times, but it triggered countless wounds on his body. In an instant, all the tears that Shen Nantang had accumulated flowed out of his eyes.
It hurts, it hurts…
Retracting his gaze, Rong Gao told himself not to believe the woman's tears and not to be soft-hearted. He said coldly,""You will pay for your actions!”Then, he flung his sleeves and walked out without looking at the woman again, locking the door of the woodshed.
The light was shut out of the door, and it was dark again. The emptiness, loneliness, and fear filled the sky. Shen Nantang pounced on the door like a madman and cried without caring about the wounds on his body."I didn't, I didn't. Let go of me, let go of me!!!”
After a long time, Shen Nantang could no longer cry and sat on the ground." Why did the heavens do this to me? Why!
Little Xiang 'er, who lived not far away from the woodshed, spent three days in a row in nightmares. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she would hear a woman's shrill cry. It was like a nightmare that haunted her for three days. Finally, she could not take it anymore. At dusk on the fourth day, she carried the rotten rice and opened the door of the woodshed.
As soon as she opened the door, Xiao Xiang 'er's vision was not enough to see everything in the woodshed, but the unpleasant smell almost made her throw up her lunch. Thinking that the woman might have spent three days in such an environment, Xiao Xiang' er shivered and felt guilty.
That day, the housekeeper gave her the key and told her not to give the key to anyone. She also told her to pay attention to the movements in the woodshed and inform the housekeeper if there was any noise. At first, she did not take the woman's cries to heart. However, when the woman's cries became more and more shrill, she began to worry. On the way to find the housekeeper, she met Princess Xin, who had disappeared for a long time.
"Is it Xiang 'er? Why are you in such a hurry?" A hypocritical smile appeared on Yun Chuxi's face as she grabbed Little Xiang 'er, who was hurrying along.
"Princess Consort Xin is well. I'm Xiang 'er. Princess Consort Xin, I'm going to find the housekeeper.”Little Xiang 'er bowed respectfully to Yun Chuxi and stood up.
"Why are you looking for the butler?" Yun Chuxi continued to ask.
"Princess Huixin, the woman locked in the wooden hut doesn't seem normal.”Little Xiang 'er spoke the truth.
"Oh ~" Yun Chuxi replied with an "oh". Then, she came up with a plan in her mind and whispered a few words into Xiang 'er's ear.
"Is this okay?" Xiao Xiang 'er hesitated after hearing Yun Chuxi's words.
"It was His Highness's orders." Yun Chuxi saw that Little Xiang 'er was hesitating, so she immediately opened her mouth and gave her a heavy dose of medicine.
Brother Rong, don't blame me for using you. I had no choice.
"En, alright."
Shen Nantang, who was lying on the ground without any strength, heard the sound of the door opening. He turned his eyes and saw a woman standing at the door. She was holding something that looked like food because she smelled the fragrance.
Ha, but so what? She hadn't eaten for three days and had been shouting too much. Even if the food was placed one meter away from her, she didn't know if she could climb to that place.
When Little Xiang 'Er finally got used to everything in front of her, she saw a woman looking in her direction, her eyes fixed on the food in her hand.
Perhaps Shen Nantang's gaze was too scary, but Little Xiang 'er called out timidly,""Come over for dinner."
Shen Nantang closed her eyes. She had no strength left. Seeing the woman lying motionless on the ground, Xiao Xiang 'er walked over out of guilt. She placed the food on the ground and helped Shen Nantang up. At the same time, the unpleasant smell from her body wafted into the room, which was already not very good. Xiao Xiang' er tried her best to suppress the urge to vomit.
Shen Nantang lifted his eyelids and looked at the little girl in front of him. She was about thirteen or fourteen years old. Shen Nantang sneered.
Little Xiang 'er personally placed the rice in her hand beside Shen Nantang's mouth. Shen Nantang opened his mouth without any scruples. She was a dying person anyway, so she was not afraid of any poison. However, after taking a bite, Shen Nantang could not spit out any more sour water. What kind of rice was this? Even the dogs of Prince Rong's Mansion would probably eat better than her.
Biting her lips tightly, Shen Nantang was afraid that she would cry out loud. Why did he treat her like this? She had not drunk a single drop of water for three whole days, and when she finally had a bite of rice, it was extremely sour. Did the person who locked her here ever think that she was also a human? Did he ever think that if one day she left this place, wasn't he afraid that she would take revenge on them?
Seeing the woman's dazed and pitiful look, Xiao Xiang 'er softened her heart and comforted her softly,""Sister, this is fate." Shen Nantang was unmoved, and his dim eyes slowly dimmed.
"Sister, don't blame me. Princess Consort Xin told me that it was his highness 'orders.”At this moment, Little Xiang 'er pitied Shen Nantang and accidentally told the truth. Another reason was that she wanted to distance herself from this matter. This matter had nothing to do with her.
As soon as these words were said, it seemed to instantly light up Shen Nantang's desperate vitality.
Consort Xin, His Highness, could it be that man and Yun Chu were playing together? Hahaha…Shen Nantang, who had figured it out, suddenly laughed out loud. His laughter was so terrifying that Little Xiang 'er was so scared that her rice fell to the ground. She looked at this woman who had suddenly gone crazy in fear.
Yun Chuxi, oh Yun Chuxi, I really regret saving you that night. If I hadn't acted impulsively at that time, you might have died at the hands of that man. Hehe, I didn't expect you to be so vicious. You want to kill me every moment. Very good, very good. Yun Chuxi, if you don't let me have it easy, I won't let you have it easy either. Don't you want to be a princess consort? Then I'll let you enjoy the feeling of being a princess consort in peace…
Hahaha…Shen Nantang laughed to the extreme, and tears flowed down from the corners of his eyes. It was a lament about the ugliness of human nature and the sorrow of fate. She swore that she would not let Yun Chuxi have it easy. She would make her pay the price she deserved. Yun Chuxi!!!
There was a small square window above, revealing some light. The warmth of the morning sun sprinkled on her face. She raised her head and absorbed the warmth. A flash of inspiration flashed in her mind. She had actually left the town. Then, it was the beginning of a new life. Let go of all the bad things in the past and live a good life. Then, she would change her name. From now on, she would be called Chenguang.
The meaning was that the morning light was faint, and the grass was thriving under the new sunlight. She hoped that she could have a happy life, a happy and unrestrained life, but would things develop as she wanted?
It had been seven days since Chen Guang arrived at King Rong's estate. From the evening of the fourth day onwards, Chen Guang had already returned to her normal state of mind. She wanted to live well, so she no longer shouted and shouted. She had to conserve her strength and fawn over Little Xiang 'er, asking her to send over the food.
After Xiao Xiang 'er left, the door of the woodshed was opened. A person who looked like a butler called her out coldly.
