The princess is killing like crazy again

After finishing the official business, Xiao Yurong also talked about personal matters with Wang Fuxuan, "So, why did you get so angry just now?"

When Wang Fuxuan heard Xiao Yurong mention this, his body stiffened.

"Go ahead." Xiao Yurong was not in a hurry, nor did he think that Wang Fuxuan would be the kind of person who would speak right away.

She first slowly drank a cup of tea, then patiently waited for Wang Fuxuan's answer.

Wang Fuxuan has such a stubborn personality and is extremely stubborn, it is harder than climbing to the sky to pry open his mouth.

"They talked about my legs privately, saying that no matter how high I climbed, I would still be a cripple with a dark personality and a useless person who couldn't walk," said Wang Fuxuan.

He lowered his head, his eyes red, and he didn't know whether he was wronged or angry. "The guy who had his tongue cut just now said I was a bastard!"

"He ate and took everything, how can I blame the owner?" He said sinisterly, "I didn't take his life because I was kind."

"It's not like you haven't been told this before, and you've been told this so many times. Why are you still angry?" Xiao Yurong asked.

"Do you also think I'm making a fuss out of nothing? Do you think I'm moody?" Wang Fuxuan suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiao Yurong, his expression changing from disbelief to anger.

Xiao Yurong frowned, "You know I've never thought about it that way."

"Liar!" Wang Fuxuan gritted his teeth and yelled, "You said you valued me, but that's all fake! You're the same!"

"It was the same before. You tricked me into jumping into the lake and then you left me alone!" He began to tremble all over.

"Fu Xuan!" Xiao Yurong shouted sternly.

Wang Fuxuan froze, clenched his teeth, and finally said nothing more.

His anxious heart, the unspeakable torment, and the look in his eyes every time he looked at Xiao Yurong's profile and back.

He was obviously still angry, and he obviously still held a grudge, but when Xiao Yurong called his name, he didn't dare to continue.

Xiao Yurong knew that Wang Fuxuan had a difficult life since childhood, living in a cannibalistic aristocratic family, and was at the center of a vortex of power and desire.

Although his parents were direct descendants of the Wang family, they were not well-respected and were just average people. They needed to read people's eyes and maintain their status in the family.

After his parents were killed in a natural disaster, Wang Fuxuan's life in the clan became increasingly difficult. He had to rely on others and beg for mercy in order to have a glimmer of hope of survival.

The elders in the clan looked down on him, his brothers and sisters in the clan bullied him, and even his regular silver and food were withheld.

Resistance is useless before one has sufficient strength. Wang Fuxuan paid a heavy price to realize this truth.

Once, when he was asked to bark like a dog and crawl under someone's crotch, Wang Fuxuan could no longer bear it, so he fought back and smashed his brother's head.

The next day, his cousin's mother came to his house and asked the servants to break his legs, calling him a lowly bastard with no father or mother.

He lay in the snow and ice, dragging his broken leg, with no doctor, no herbs, and not even charcoal fire.

If the wet nurse had not damaged her eyes from working on embroidery to earn some herbs, and the owner of the house at the time was afraid that it would have a bad reputation if the news got out, he would have hired a doctor, and his legs would have been completely ruined.

But even so, he still developed a chronic illness, and he walked with a limp on that leg, looking so miserable that people laughed at him.

As long as this leg is still lame, as long as he is still sitting in a wheelchair, no matter how high he climbs, those people will laugh at him behind his back.

This leg reminds him all the time that he is still the helpless self he once was.

"Wang Fuxuan, you still hate me because I tricked you into jumping into the icy lake." Xiao Yurong half-squinted at him, "You said you forgave me, but you were lying to me."

"I have forgiven you." Wang Fuxuan turned his head away and clenched his palms, "I just can't forget it."

When the cousin who had been hit on the head by him bullied him in school, Xiao Yurong stood up.

Xiao Yurong said with a smile that she wanted to make a bet with him, betting on whether he could guess whether the tassel around her waist was blue or red.

If he wins, his brothers won't be able to bother him. If he loses, he has to jump into the frozen lake in winter.

Wang Fuxuan thought Xiao Yurong wanted to help him, because Xiao Yurong had just shown off to him with a smile that he had got a new ear of corn, which was lake blue.

So Wang Fuxuan said blue with great determination, but when Xiao Yurong took the tassel, it was red.

It is difficult to describe the mood at that moment. Even when Wang Fuxuan thinks back on it now, he still cannot describe it.

Because the clan brother laughed loudly, the group of people laughed so hard that they fell over and tears came out.

He looked at Xiao Yurong, who lowered her head and played with the ears of corn in her hand, her eyes as frivolous as the snow that was about to melt in the spring.

When she raised her eyes to look at him, there was no movement or change in her eyes, just a casual glance.

Even Xiao Yurong came to deceive him and colluded with that group of people to deceive him.

“Really? Little cripple, do you really think the princess will help you? Hahahaha! I’m dying of laughter. How dare a useless guy with a broken leg have such wishful thinking?”

"He doesn't really think the princess pities him, does he? Well, he has a pretty face, so there's nothing he can do except beg for mercy, right?"

"This bastard who brought disaster to his parents has killed his own parents. He will surely punish his wife and children in the future. Which good girl would be willing to marry him?"

"That's different. He has a deceptive face. Although he is a little sinister, he is still a member of the Wang family, right? Those girls in brothels would probably be willing to marry him, hahahaha!"

Waves of shrill laughter drilled into my ears, and suddenly the world seemed to be spinning.

"Hey, why don't you jump?" The elder brother crossed his arms and urged him, "Are you going to break your promise?"

Wang Fuxuan no longer remembered how embarrassed he was at the time. He only remembered that he pushed his wheelchair and jumped directly into the lake in the cold winter.

There was a thin layer of ice on the surface of the lake, and the biting water penetrated into the bones, making me numb with cold and shivering with pain.

The heavy wheelchair fell into the lake early, and he struggled to swim in the water towards the shore.

Those people laughed and mocked his ugly behavior, while Xiao Yurong stood in the crowd and kicked a piece of ice.

"Okay, don't kill anyone, otherwise my father will punish me and I will have to copy books again." Xiao Yurong said condescendingly.

Wang Fuxuan held the piece of ice and had time to catch his breath.

The group of people did not dare to disobey Xiao Yurong openly, but they also knew that they could not really kill him. After watching for a while, they felt bored and left after saying a few harsh words.

Xiao Yurong stood on the shore and watched Wang Fuxuan climb up. He took off his warm and beautiful fox fur coat and draped it over his shoulders.

"I'm just joking with you, you won't be angry, right? I know you will forgive me." Xiao Yurong's eyes were full of smiles, as if it was really just a harmless joke.

She is always like this. She would be strangling someone's neck in the last second, and let go in the next second and smile and say it was just a joke, and you don't really care.

So young, so cruel, so beautiful.

At that time, Wang Fuxuan was soaked all over, shivering in the cold wind, looking at Xiao Yurong with a gloomy look.

After a long while, he finally squeezed out a word from between his teeth: "Yes."

Even after many, many years, Wang Fuxuan still couldn't forget it. He seemed to hate Xiao Yurong, but he didn't seem to hate her that much.

What does that mean?

Even now Wang Fuxuan still cannot understand his own feelings.

"If I can't forget, I can't forgive." Xiao Yurong stated this fact calmly.

She explained what happened before: "I did lie to you last time. But they were going to release a poisonous snake to bite you. Falling into the icy lake is better than being bitten by a poisonous snake, right? You don't have money to treat the disease."

"So I gave them this idea. They certainly prefer to torture you rather than tease you," she said. "This way, they know my attitude and know that you are my prey, so they won't bully you too much."

She thought for a moment and said, "So I often play with you and drag you along. This is also to tell them that you are my prey, my plaything, and I am having a good time."

Wang Fuxuan was slightly startled, but Xiao Yurong's expression remained calm.

He laughed and turned his face away, "New love and old love come and go freely. You are nice to me, but it's just a whim. You will leave when you get tired of me."

"Am I good to you?" Xiao Yurong laughed, "Ah, then you really misunderstood me."

Wang Fuxuan looked at Xiao Yurong, who tilted her head and looked at him as if she had heard a joke.

"I obviously have other ways to protect you," she said.

Wang Fuxuan withdrew his gaze and did not look at Xiao Yurong again, but his body trembled, and even his eyelashes fluttered.

Xiao Yurong said quietly, "Although my method can indeed make you feel more secure. Because if I protect you openly, they will hate you even more and try every possible means to avoid me from bullying you."

"But I obviously have a better way, a way that can save you from humiliation and suffering." She stared at Wang Fuxuan.

Wang Fuxuan didn't dare to look back at her, so she continued: "I can do it, but I didn't do it. Do you know why?"

Without getting an answer from Wang Fuxuan, Xiao Yurong didn't seem to need his answer.

She smiled and said lightly, "Because your suffering has nothing to do with me."

Wang Fuxuan turned his head to look at Xiao Yurong, and at that moment, the man who felt as if he had lost all hope, sensed a glimpse of a faint sense of living energy.

"I did it for fun. As for your thoughts and your suffering, they are of no importance to me," said Xiao Yurong.

She could have just told her the part about her good intentions for Wang Fuxuan, and then just sit back and accept Wang Fuxuan's debt.

But she just tore everything apart and told Wang Fuxuan the cruel truth.

The funny thing is that even though he knew that Xiao Yurong was such a person, Wang Fuxuan still felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief at the end of the long dark night.

"Is that so..." He lowered his eyes.

Xiao Yurong smiled, "Now that you know the answer and understand what kind of person I am, are you disappointed?"

"On the contrary." Wang Fuxuan began to look Xiao Yurong in the eye from here on, "I'm glad you're such a person."

"If I were a good person, you would be reluctant to let me go if we became enemies one day." Xiao Yurong said, "But since I'm such a bad person, you don't have to show mercy, right?"

Wang Fuxuan closed his eyes, "...Yes."

He thought that someone like himself who had crawled out of the gutter in a twisted way would like warmth, like sunshine, and like a completely good person.

But Xiao Yurong's shadow spread to the corners of his robe until it submerged his entire body.

Only then did he realize that he actually liked this kind of darkness.

After reaching a deal with Wang Fuxuan, Xiao Yurong obtained the land deed without spending a penny, and left the Wang family with Li Yaozhi.

Before leaving, Xiao Yurong went to Wang Wanru and chatted with her for a few more words.

Xiao Yurong's mind turned for a few moments as she looked at Wang Wanru, who kept complaining to her about how her parents were always urging her to get married as soon as possible.

"Wanru, have you ever thought about not getting married? Or not getting married at all?" Xiao Yurong asked.

Wang Wanru was stunned. "Ah?"

Xiao Yurong looked at her and asked, "Would you like to be my female official?"

"Female official?" Wang Wanru opened her mouth even wider.

"There have always been women in Fuyang Guard. Now that I am in power, I will naturally give women more opportunities." Xiao Yurong said, "The staff in the princess's mansion, regardless of gender, will be filled by those who are capable."

She looked into the distance calmly, "The daughters of noble families are naturally talented and beautiful. If they are guided, they will be no less than men. Life is difficult for women in this world. I am willing to give them a chance."

Wang Wanru lowered her head and clasped her hands together unconsciously, "But if it's for a female official, I..."

Xiao Yurong said: "You can try. What do you lack from those good-for-nothings? They can serve as officials in the imperial court, so why can't you?"

"Can I really do it? I only know how to handle family affairs." Wang Wanru was a little shaken.

"If you want to serve as an official in the court, I can lend you a helping hand. This is what I will do in the future. This is not only because I am willing to give them a chance, but also to support my own power." Xiao Yurong said.

She changed the subject: "But if you don't want to, you can be a female official in my mansion to handle the affairs of the mansion. Or you can go to the palace, or even stay in the Wang family to handle the affairs of the clan."

"Is all this just to prevent me from getting married?" Wang Wanru reacted.

"Well, do you dare to entrust your life to a man you don't know at all? Instead of entrusting it to them, it's better to entrust it to me." Xiao Yurong said.

She died too early in her previous life. All I remember is that Wang Wanru, as the daughter of the Wang family, was married off to a son of another aristocratic family at an early age.

After she got married, Wang Wanru gradually became estranged from her, and they drifted further and further apart and stopped writing to each other.

At that time, her energy was occupied by the rebels, and she didn't have much time to pay attention to her former best friend.

After Wang rebelled, she became even more unhappy.

I just think it's a pity that the once bright girl is now left in the backyard, wasting away day after day.

So Xiao Yurong continued to persuade Wang Wanru: "Even if you want to stay at home, I can help you talk to Wang Fuxuan. He is also annoyed by banquets and socializing, and he won't care how much you can gain by getting married."

"I, I don't want to get married." Wang Wanru finally made up her mind.

She took a deep breath and said, "I want to stay and be your female official, and also handle clan affairs for the Wang family."

Xiao Yurong smiled and said, "Okay."
