Zheng Changchuan stared at the door blankly, his eyes were empty and lifeless, as if he had lost his soul. His eyes gradually turned red and tears slid down his cheeks uncontrollably!

His heart felt like it was being gnawed by millions of ants, and he couldn't understand why Wan Qingyan hadn't returned home for two consecutive nights. Could it be that she was really tired of him and disgusted with him?

Once this thought came into his mind, it grew wildly like weeds, making him so painful that he could hardly breathe!

"Of course not... Definitely not... No..."

Zheng Changchuan kept muttering to himself, trying to comfort his broken heart, and buried his face deeply in the quilt, unwilling to face reality!

As the night gradually faded, the sky quietly turned a light fish belly white!

Zheng Changchuan did not sleep all night last night, his eyes were bloodshot, but fatigue did not stop his eager steps!

Early in the morning, he couldn't wait to run to the small kitchen, holding tightly in his hand a small note he had carefully written last night, which carried his thoughts and expectations for Wan Qingyan!

He carefully stuffed the small note into the food box. He urgently wanted a reply from Wan Qingyan!

Yesterday, when he learned that Shi Ming would send the food box to Wan Qingyan, he immediately walked up without hesitation and asked Wan Qingyan in person where his specific location was.

However, what he never expected was that Shi Ming kept silent about it, and even glanced at him coldly before turning around and leaving, leaving him standing there alone, at a loss!

Not only that, the attitude of the people in the yamen towards him was also extremely cold. Although they still remained polite and courteous on the surface, the disdain revealed in their eyes was so obvious and not concealed at all!

This feeling of being looked down upon by everyone made him feel extremely lost and lonely. Even Aping and A Nian, who were usually close to him, were not in the yamen, leaving him with no one to talk to!

He was like a drowning man who was about to be submerged by the surging waves. He desperately stretched out his hands to call for help to those people on the shore who seemed to be close at hand, but what he got in return was ruthless indifference and contemptuous looks!

Faced with such a situation, he didn't want to make himself embarrassed anymore, so after successfully stuffing the note into the food box, he quickly turned around and walked back to his room with heavy steps!

Now, he had no other choice but to wait silently for Wan Qingyan's reply...

But what Zheng Changchuan didn't expect was that as soon as he left, Wan Qingyu threw the little note he wrote into the fire. She had been sending people to watch his every move!

"You guys go to his door now. Do you remember what to say?"

After Wan Qingyu saw that the small note was completely burned to ashes, he immediately waved his hand and gave orders to the two soldiers behind him!

The malice in her eyes was about to overflow, and there was a sly smile on the corner of her mouth. She had learned a new truth in the past two days: sometimes a soft knife is more useful than a hard knife, and destroying someone's heart is the best way to hurt them!

"Eighth Prince, we all know what to say. Please rest assured!"

The two soldiers behind Wan Qingyu respectfully assured her, and then they smiled at each other tacitly. They knew very well what words could hurt Zheng Changchuan!

"Then go quickly and don't let me down!"

Wan Qingyu nodded slightly, with a hint of teasing in her tone. These two soldiers were the ones she carefully selected as the most vicious!

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The two soldiers took the order respectfully, then quickly walked to Zheng Changchuan's door, while Wan Qingyu hid aside, hid himself, and listened silently with his ears perked up!

"You may not know this yet, but I heard that His Highness the Fifth Prince has a new handsome male lover outside, and His Highness even bought him a lot of gold and silver jewelry!"

"Really? But it's not surprising. After all, the Fifth Prince hasn't returned to the yamen for two days. He's probably having fun with his new male favorite!"

"Of course, who wouldn't like a beautiful male lover? Besides, who would want to face an ugly, disfigured man every day?"

"That's right! If I were disfigured, I would be ashamed to see anyone. How dare you stay here? You can't even read a person's expression. You're so ugly and stupid!"

"Yeah! My scalp goes numb when I see his ugly face. I can't eat even if I look at him for one more moment. It's not his fault that he's ugly, but it's his fault that he comes out to scare people!"

"Alas! I feel sick just looking at him. I don't know how long this will last. Why can't he just leave on his own accord? If he doesn't leave, I doubt the Fifth Prince will ever come back..."

"That's right! If he doesn't leave, the Fifth Prince won't want to come back. How can this guy not understand my expression? It's really annoying..."

"People like this deserve to be disfigured. The sooner they are disfigured, the better..."

"Haha ..., you're right, the sooner it's destroyed the better, it would be even better if it could just get out of here sooner, so it doesn't become an eyesore and an annoyance!"

"…………"

Zheng Changchuan heard every word of the two soldiers' discussion and laughter. Every word they said was like an extremely sharp dagger stabbing into his heart, which was already as fragile as thin paper. It pierced into it again and again, and then stirred it fiercely until his heart was completely shattered!

He was originally sitting upright in a chair, but after hearing those words, his body began to tremble uncontrollably, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead, his lips trembled uncontrollably, and he felt as if he had been struck by lightning!

The next moment, he seemed to have lost all support and fell straight off the chair. As he fell, the inkstone on the desk also fell with it, making a loud noise!

When the soldiers outside the door heard the noise, they first looked at each other, then clapped their hands lightly at the same time, then raised their eyebrows slightly and showed a smug smile. They knew that their goal had been achieved, so they didn't stay for long and turned around and left quickly!

Zheng Changchuan breathed a sigh of relief, then used all his strength to crawl to the bronze mirror and tore off the bandage on his face!

As the bandages were untied, he took a deep breath, his hands trembling, and slowly raised his head, looking at the bronze mirror in front of him!

When he saw his face reflected in the mirror, his mind went blank and he stood there in a daze. He couldn't believe that the horrifying face in the mirror was actually his!

There was not a single intact spot on his entire face; it was densely covered with winding, crisscrossing red scars!

These scars were like ugly reptiles, crawling all over his face, making his face look distorted and deformed. Has he already lost the appearance of a human being?
