After being reborn, I hugged the villainous boss tightly.

Wu Xuan'er struggled to break free from him, but felt him tighten his grip, making it hard for her to breathe.

But she still showed no intention of begging for mercy, her gaze stubbornly fixed on him.

Fu Chenchu ​​became even more agitated, loosened his grip, and released her.

As soon as she was freed, her legs gave way and she collapsed to the ground, covering her mouth and coughing violently.

Fu Chenchu's eyes showed no pity. He gently helped Xie Yao up, but coldly said to her, "From now on, you'd better stay in your room and not go anywhere, so you don't hurt people!"

Wu Xuan'er lowered her eyes: "Fu Chenchu, it was Xie Yao who came to provoke me, don't you believe me at all?"

She initially wanted to explain, but she didn't expect him to pinch her; his gaze seemed to indicate that he had seen something he loathed.

Fu Chenchu ​​didn't even glance at her: "I know, but Yao'er doesn't know martial arts, so she can't do anything to you!"

Xie Yao lowered her head and curled her lips into a smug smile.

"Don't run out, or I'll cripple your martial arts!"

After saying this, Fu Chenchu ​​led Xie Yao out.

Wu Xuan'er sat on the ground blankly for a long time until tears slowly fell. Only then did she stand up, unwilling to accept that the person she loved with all her might would end up like this.

"Qianqian, I don't want to stay here, I want to go home!"

This time, Wu Xuan'er was directly forbidden from leaving the house. The servants in the mansion, who treated her differently based on her status, also mocked and ridiculed her because she was not favored.

She spent a few more days in a daze until news came from below that Xie Yao was pregnant, and she was shocked to realize that it was all true.

It's true that Fu Chenchu ​​doesn't love her, it's true that Qianqian is dead, and everything she doesn't want to believe is true!

Heartbroken, she climbed over the wall and tried to escape that night while everyone was celebrating Xie Yao's birthday.

But she underestimated Fu Chenchu's desire to imprison her. She hadn't run more than a few steps before Lu Chuan grabbed her and dragged her back to the lobby.

The crowd watched her like she was watching a play, occasionally bursting into laughter; she was a joke in this situation.

Fu Chenchu ​​stood up, looking down at her: "Wu Xuan'er, have you forgotten what I said?"

"..."

Wu Xuan'er looked up, her lips pressed tightly together, and remained silent.

Seeing this, Xie Yao quickly touched her belly and said, "Your Highness, please spare my sister for the sake of my pregnancy today!"

Upon hearing her voice, Wu Xuan'er finally showed a different expression, her eyes filled with disgust.

"nausea!"

The disgust wasn't just directed at Xie Yao, but also at Fu Chenchu.

Fu Chenchu ​​saw the disgust in her eyes, and for some reason felt a pang in his heart, which made him even angrier.

"Lu Chuan, take the princess away and seal her martial arts. We'll unseal it when she learns her lesson!"

Wu Xuan'er's eyes widened: "Fu Chenchu, what gives you the right?"

Fu Chenchu ​​looked down at her, his gaze chillingly cold.

"Because I am your husband, someone you cannot disobey!"

Lu Chuan came up and took her away. Her hands were tied, and she couldn't escape at all.

After being taken away, Lu Chuan took out silver needles and pierced her neck, waist, and chest.

As if all her strength had been drained, she collapsed, a tearing pain spreading through her body, causing her to curl up in agony.

After Lu Chuan finished doing everything, he withdrew his hand.

"Your Highness, please don't exert yourself too much after this, or these silver needles will get stuck in your body. Don't blame me if your martial arts are ruined!"

"The prince said to take it out when you stop thinking about escaping. You should reflect on your actions these next few days!" Lu Chuan said before leaving.

The only sound in the room was Wu Xuan'er's heavy breathing in pain.

She now understood that Fu Chenchu ​​did not love her and would not let her leave.

If he didn't love her, she wouldn't blame him, but he insisted on humiliating and tormenting her like this. Everything that happened these past few days has left her exhausted!

She didn't understand what she had done to offend him that he would treat her like this.

With Wu Xuan'er's martial arts skills sealed, Fu Chenchu ​​no longer confined her to the room; he would sometimes allow her to go out for a walk.

Xie Yao's belly grew bigger day by day. One day, she came to the backyard and saw Wu Xuan'er there. She thought of something, smiled, and walked over to her.

Fearing she would be beaten again like last time, the maid warned her, "Madam, be careful she doesn't go crazy again and hurt you!"

Xie Yao had heard that she was now practically a cripple, and if she insisted on fighting, she would definitely hurt herself. Right now, she wished she would go crazy!

"Your Highness is in such high spirits, even coming to admire the flowers!"

Having learned her lesson from last time, Wu Xuan'er naturally knew that she was no good, so she ignored her and got up to leave.

"Wu Xuan'er, do you know how Qingqian died?"

When Qingqian was mentioned, Wu Xuan'er stopped abruptly.

……

Fu Chenchu ​​and Lu Chuan were discussing politics in the study when the door was suddenly pushed open, and Wu Xuan'er walked in with red eyes, exuding a sense of sorrow.

Fu Chenchu ​​could tell at a glance that she had used her internal energy, and stepped forward to try to control her.

But Wu Xuan'er's eyes were now filled with hatred for him, and every move she made was filled with killing intent, as if she wanted to kill him.

Wu Xuan'er was determined to kill Fu Chenchu, completely disregarding the fact that blood was already gushing from her body.

Fu Chenchu ​​was shocked by the smell of blood on her body; she was so indifferent to her own life.

"Stop, or you'll be dead!"

Wu Xuan'er was now in a bloodthirsty rage and continued her attack: "Fu Chenchu, I'll take your life!"

Seeing this, Lu Chuan slapped her from behind when she wasn't paying attention.

Wu Xuan'er was knocked away and slammed hard to the ground.

"..."

Fu Chenchu ​​glanced at Lu Chuan with displeasure, then walked out.

Wu Xuan'er endured the pain and got up, blood dripping down her fingers.

She could barely stand, yet she still struggled to lift her scarlet eyes and look at the two of them.

"You, and you too, you are all murderers!"

Fu Chenchu ​​was stunned for a moment, then realized what she was talking about and frowned.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Wu Xuan'er became even more certain of her thoughts, and tears immediately fell, which she couldn't stop.

She never imagined that her best friend was actually killed by the person she loved most. Her heart ached as if it were about to break apart, and the pain made it hard for her to breathe.

At this moment, the silver needles were moving wildly through her body. She could feel her strength draining away little by little. She could no longer hold on and collapsed.

Fu Chenchu ​​quickly reached out and hugged her, anxiously taking her pulse.

Wu Xuan'er curled her lips in a mocking smile. He always liked to put on an act, but she never expected that he would still be pretending even when she was about to die.

"Fu Chenchu, aren't you tired of pretending to love me all this time?

Hearing her desperate tone, a hint of panic flashed in Fu Chenchu's deep eyes.

Not hearing his reply, Wu Xuan'er smiled and continued speaking to herself.

"I'm so tired. I want to go see Qianqian, but I'm too scared to go. What should I do?"
