Best friends dressed up in ancient times to become mistresses? You run, I run too!

Abandoned Courtyard

The bone whistle was blown during the day, but a heavy rain began to fall at night.

The two best friends thought Song Hanchuan wouldn't come, but to their surprise, he walked into the house in the rain.

His tall body was soaking wet, and his thick black hair was plastered to his scalp, dripping water.

He bowed humbly to the two of them.

"I am late, please forgive me."

While the two were moved, they were even more puzzled as to his purpose in working so hard.

"It's not too late. We are extremely grateful that Young Master Song came despite the rain." Shen Ningzhu politely handed over a cotton handkerchief.

"Young master, you've worked hard. Please wipe yourself down first so you don't catch a cold."

"Thank you."

Seeing that the other person was soaked, the two best friends didn't want to delay any longer. They took turns explaining their plan in a concise manner.

The other party readily agreed and left in a hurry.

Shen Ningzhu narrowed her fox-like eyes thoughtfully.

"This man... he's really bold. He knew we wanted that medicine, which we were definitely going to use on the Crown Prince, yet he agreed to get it for us without even thinking about it."

"Perhaps, this is his purpose in approaching me." This was the only thought that Liu Zhiyi could come up with.

The prince is unpredictable and capricious; he probably has quite a few enemies outside.

It's not surprising that someone wanted to target him, so they set their sights on the two best friends.

Shen Ningzhu was taken aback.

"That's true, so it's a win-win situation. Here's what we'll do: once you get the medicine, check it first. If there are no problems, then I'll go and download it."

She wanted to punish the prince and make him pay for his words, but this personal grudge wasn't enough to kill him.

The two snuggled back into bed to sleep when Jiang Yi knocked on the wooden door. "My lord, His Highness summons you."

"Get lost, I'm not going."

Jiang Yi, with a pained expression, patiently tried to persuade them, but apart from that shrewish roar just now, there was no further sound from inside. Oh, there were only faint snoring sounds coming from the room.

His handsome face fell.

These two women are really carefree.

In the main courtyard, upon hearing Jiang Yi's report, the Crown Prince slowly narrowed his eyes, his temples throbbing.

"It's all because I spoil her."

He got up, strode into the pouring rain, used his light-footed skills, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Jiang was shocked and quickly chased after them.

In a side room of the abandoned courtyard, Shen Ningzhu was half asleep when suddenly, the door slammed shut with a loud bang, and a man appeared at her bedside in an instant, like a ghost.

Just then, a bolt of lightning struck.

Through the wide-open wooden door, light flickered on the man's dark, handsome face. His deep, dark phoenix eyes were filled with a sinister aura, which frightened Shen Ningzhu so much that her heart clenched and she screamed.

"Shut up, get dressed and get out of bed."

Shen Ningzhu: ……

"I dont go."

"Shen Ningzhu, what are you doing now? As my woman, you don't serve me well, and I can't find you when it matters, and I can't even say a word? Who gave you such a temper, daring to give me such a hard time?"

Shen Ningzhu turned her head away.

If he had told her from the beginning that he had fallen for someone else and wanted to marry someone else, it wouldn't have been a big deal.

Men in this era typically had multiple wives and concubines, let alone a crown prince.

It is normal for the royal family to have offspring.

She was furious because he forcefully took her and brought her back to the Crown Prince's residence, yet he also said that she was of lowly status and unworthy of his bloodline.

He was enjoying romantic moments with his new lover while cuddling and whispering sweet nothings in her ear. This disgusted her so much that she felt her scalp tingling; she now felt that even glancing at this scoundrel was an insult to her eyes.

"It's not up to you, don't make me take action."

Ugh, she was such a saint before, she should have killed that bastard.

He possesses her while looking down on her. When she comes out to have some peace and quiet, he sneaks up to her bedside like a ghost in the middle of the night to scare her. And now, he's ordering her around?

Who does he think he is?

"Your Highness, please return."

Shen Ningzhu pulled the blanket up and lay back down, closing her eyes to continue sleeping.

On the inside of the bed, Liu Zhiyi looked at this and then at that, wanting to advise her best friend.

"Zhuzhu~"

Didn't you see that killer look in that jerk's eyes? If he keeps being stubborn, he'll only get what he deserves.

We're about to leave anyway, so we can just bear with it a little longer.

After all, for these ancient nobles, killing someone was just a matter of lifting a finger; it was really not worth losing their precious lives for a moment of impulsiveness.

But she also knew in her heart that Shen Ningzhu hated third parties more than anything in her life, and there was no way she would knowingly become a third party.

The man had lost his patience. He ripped off the blanket, scooped up Shen Ningzhu, and carried her out.

Shen Ningzhu, who was only wearing underwear and a bellyband: ...

"Damn it, are you sick in the head?"

"Let me go! I...I was wrong, please let me get dressed!"

"You bastard, you're a pervert, stop it."

Shen Ningzhu angrily pounded on the man's back and kicked wildly. Liu Zhiyi chased after her without even putting on her shoes.

"Your Highness, please spare the pearl... young mistress."

The man finally stopped and threw her to the ground. Her delicate skin slammed against the hard ground, splashing mud and water, which smeared her once pretty face.

The man looked down at her like a demon.

"Shen Ningzhu, you keep challenging my bottom line. Do you really think I can't bear to kill you?"

Shen Ningzhu's chest heaved, tears welling in her eyes, but she tilted her head back, stubbornly refusing to let them fall.

She stared at him intently, her eyes bloodshot.

"You bastard, if you have the guts, kill me today. Otherwise, one day I will trample you under my feet and kill you bit by bit."

Jiang Xuan Yan's face froze for a moment.

He suddenly laughed, but his eyes were icy cold.

"So you're finally admitting that all those 'likes' and 'admirations' you said before were just lies to me?"

"Correct."

"Shen Ningzhu, you're asking for it."

The rain was heavy. One of them fell to the ground, stubbornly tilting his head back, while the other stood straight, his face cold, staring at him coldly.

Shen Ningzhu's clothes were disheveled, and Jiang Yi and the other guards, wanting to avoid suspicion, did not approach her, but anxiously stayed far away.

An uncontrollable wailing echoed in my heart.

When two stubborn people clash, neither will give in, and now things have completely fallen apart.

Jiang Yi felt bitter as the prospect of getting the young master, who was almost within his grasp, seemed to be out of reach once again.

Liu Zhiyi knelt on the ground, begging Jiang Xuanyan to let Shen Ningzhu go, but Shen Ningzhu pulled her up.

He looked at Jiang Xuan Yan with disdain.

"Is His Highness the Crown Prince so lacking in women? Or have you already fallen deeply in love with me, and feel like you've been separated for ages since we last met? If not, why are you acting crazy here in the middle of the night?"

Jiang Xuan Yan's scalp throbbed with veins, and he pinched his brow, barely suppressing his anger, his tone tinged with frustration.

"Shen Ningzhu, you'd better watch your tone before I lose my patience."

Shen Ningzhu sneered.

"So what exactly is the purpose of your visit here?"

“Come back to the main courtyard with me.”

"To sleep with you?"

The other party did not reply, but the expression on that cold and handsome face became even more unpleasant.
