The sick king's bride to bring him good fortune

Chapter 92 Trouble at the Brothel

In the capital, where there are already many nobles and high-ranking officials, it's a place where one should act discreetly. But he insisted on being so high-profile, so no one can blame him. After all, who told him to be so ostentatious in this turbulent capital? It makes everyone want to make a big fuss about him.

You can't blame Ruan Mozhu for taking advantage of him like that. After all, this man is so wicked. Although his crime doesn't warrant death, he's just too high-profile. On the other hand, the deceased Marquis and his son are the ones who are truly wronged. They died so inexplicably. How unjust that must have been!

He killed someone, and that person was no ordinary individual. This young master Wang only knew that he was probably in trouble. How could his family possibly protect him, after all, he had caused such a huge disaster? How was this young master Wang supposed to resolve this?

His father was just a minor official, a Minister. Although a Minister's position was not insignificant, he truly felt hopeless in the face of the Marquis's family and the Imperial Concubine.

Even if his father wanted to save him, it would probably be too late.

Finally, someone brought the officials, and as soon as this young master Wang saw the officials, he ran around like a headless fly, looking quite pitiful.

But just moments ago, the madam and he had been on such good terms, but in the blink of an eye, she acted like complete strangers. This filled him with despair, fear, and dread. After all, he hadn't killed the man. He didn't know how he died. He hadn't even used much force; it was just normal weight. How could he have known the man was so fragile and died so easily? If he had known, he wouldn't have come to this brothel today. It was all his fault for being so lustful, coming to the brothel every day. He couldn't even go a day without coming.

But how could he have known he would run into this bastard and even kill him? Now he's in real trouble.

"Oh no, Young Master Wang has run away!" someone suddenly exclaimed. The official immediately gave chase, and Young Master Wang's servants rushed in to cover his escape.

"Young master, run!" A group of servants immediately grabbed the legs of the officials. The two officials were unable to break free and had to struggle with the servants clinging to their legs. Seeing this, Young Master Wang quickly slipped into the crowd and ran away between the legs of the others.

This terrified them, after all, Young Master Wang was a murderer. Some of the bolder ones rushed forward to grab him. In the struggle, Young Master Wang's hair ornaments and other items fell to the ground. He threw anything he could find like a madman. Although the silver ingots he threw hurt others, those who were hit were happy, since they were money. Because of the money, most of them picked up the money.

Young Master Wang panicked and ran away immediately.

Young Master Wang rushed back to the Minister's residence, practically bursting inside. He frantically shouted to the guards, "You, you must close the gate quickly!"

He was so scared he wet his pants. After all, the officials had come looking for him. Although he used to enjoy playing around, he had never gone so far as to harm someone's life. Although the officials were not as high-ranking as his father, he was still afraid.

Young Master Wang rushed inside, and his father and the rest of the family also rushed out to greet him warmly.

When Ruan Mozhu learned of this, she burst into laughter, finding the young master Wang hilarious.

However, this nobleman's son died unjustly. Ruan Mozhu was conflicted. Did she have to harm people to gain power step by step? For a moment, Ruan Mozhu was afraid that the wronged spirit would come after her. After all, she was a modern person and did not have the right to harm life at will. But she was in ancient times and was not used to it. But what could she do?

Ruan Mozhu was happy just now, but now she could only be unhappy. She felt increasingly uncomfortable, so she quickly went to bed. However, she kept thinking about that prince and nobleman. She curled up tightly, afraid that some part of her body might be snatched away by a ghost.

The more she thought about that prince and nobleman, the more frightened she became. She muttered to herself, "Don't come looking for me, don't come looking for me." Ruan Mozhu was completely driven by fear.

Suddenly she felt someone outside her blanket. She held her breath, afraid that it really was that ghost coming to find her. She quickly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really had no choice."

Ruan Mozhu thought to herself, "This is all my own doing. Is this the only way I can gain power and defeat the Crown Prince?"

Ruan Mozhu knew very well that in this turbulent ancient world, obtaining something truly required sacrificing one's life. Ruan Mozhu felt she was about to collapse; harming others in this ancient world was terrifying.

"Mozhu" was Wei Jingnan's voice, but his sudden shout startled Ruan Mozhu, who immediately covered her head and screamed, "I really didn't mean to!"

Ruan Mozhu suddenly realized that this was Wei Jingnan's voice. So she lifted the blanket and saw that it was indeed Wei Jingnan. She could only sigh and say, "Wei Jingnan, you almost scared me to death, you know that?"

Ruan Mozhu had just thought that the vengeful spirit had come to find her. After all, it was her fault, it was her idea, and, well, it was all her fault. She felt a sense of suffocation in her heart.

A sense of guilt lingered in her heart. She was a modern woman, a law-abiding modern woman, yet she had to harm others in order to defeat the Crown Prince. Ruan Mozhu felt that living in ancient times was really tiring. Not only did she have to scheme against others at any time, but she also had to worry about being schemed against by others at any time. She felt more and more tired. In this ancient times, everyone in the palace must be very tired.

No wonder, they say the greater the power, the more tiring life becomes.

"I don't know." Wei Jingnan's face suddenly turned cold as he approached.

"I heard you burned down a gambling den," Wei Jingnan said in a harsh tone. Ruan Mozhu was used to it. She noticed something: Wei Jingnan was very naive in front of outsiders, but very composed in front of her. She guessed that Wei Jingnan wasn't stupid, he was just pretending. Sure enough, even with amnesia, he was still so smart. Ruan Mozhu admired Wei Jingnan, she really admired him. She wasn't surprised, after all, Wei Jingnan was always that smart.

“Yes, Wei Jingnan, don’t pretend to be deep. I know you deliberately act like a fool in front of outsiders, but you’re actually very smart. Like before, you lied to me and thought you were lame. But then, you were perfectly healthy. So what if I burned down the gambling den? I was happy.” Ruan Mozhu thought Wei Jingnan was going to blame her, so she rattled off a whole bunch of things.

Ruan Mozhu's eyes were unnatural. To be honest, she was really afraid that Wei Jingnan would blame her. After all, this man was quite fierce. Ruan Mozhu finally kept up with his changing expressions, and she felt very strained.

When Wei Jingnan heard Ruan Mozhu say this, his expression, which was not bad at first but just as gloomy as usual, immediately turned completely black.

He originally wanted to praise Ruan Mozhu, but her behavior made him not want to praise her anymore. He felt that praising her would only encourage her to take advantage of him, so he decided not to. This little girl, the more he praised her, the more she would take advantage of him. He couldn't praise her.

"It's nothing, it's just that you burned down the gambling den that the Crown Prince built in secret." His face was very pale, but what he said was like heavenly music. Ruan Mozhu was stunned. She had actually burned down a gambling den under the Crown Prince's control. How wonderful! Why was he so sad?

"Wei Jingnan, this is wonderful! This is a great thing! Do you think he'll come after me for revenge after I burned down his gambling den?" Ruan Mozhu was a little scared, thinking that she had burned down the Crown Prince's gambling den. After all, her actions were a bit excessive. Burning down someone's gambling den was a huge loss. How much money could a gambling den make? Ruan Mozhu had cut off someone's livelihood. How much resentment would the Crown Prince hold for that?

"No, so if you happen to run into the Crown Prince in the future, you must explain properly. 'You can't hit someone who's smiling,' that's what it means." Wei Jingnan was always calm and seemed very capable, as if having him meant having the whole world. This made Ruan Mozhu feel very at ease. This Wei Jingnan was indeed smart; telling her this made her feel much more at ease.

After all, the Crown Prince wasn't someone to be trifled with, Ruan Mozhu thought, and the Crown Princess wasn't one either; both of them were ruthless and vicious, and she almost got caught last time.

Ruan Mozhu thought about it and realized that the last time was still very dangerous. So many guards sacrificed themselves to protect Wei Jingnan and herself.

So many lives, in the Crown Prince's eyes, were nothing more than a matter of life and death. But with her soft heart, she was afraid she couldn't possibly win against the Crown Prince, after all, she was just a woman.

Ruan Mozhu felt goosebumps all over her body. Just thinking about it made her terrified. To smile at the Crown Prince, and to do it sincerely, was truly difficult.

Ruan Mozhu was truly terrified. She felt like she was about to encounter a venomous snake, and she was also worried that it might suddenly pounce on her and bite her when she wasn't paying attention. It gave her goosebumps.

The Crown Prince is a beast in human form. No matter how you look at his eyes, something seems off. It's as if he has many schemes and plots to devour you. And the Crown Princess, Ruan Mozhu can read ill intent in her eyes.

Alas, it seems that in ancient times, people were not in control of their own lives. They could not decide their own fate. If they wanted to decide their own fate, they had to be ruthless and first firmly grasp the fate of others in their own hands.

“Oh, smile at him, um, smile at him. By the way, Wei Jingnan, can you still remember things from before?” Ruan Mozhu thought that he wasn’t stupid anymore, so maybe he would remember things. Unfortunately, Wei Jingnan’s response to her was still that pair of pure and clear eyes, without a trace of impurity.

Ruan Mozhu could only sigh and feel miserable. She thought of the deceased prince and decided to go to a temple to burn incense another day, otherwise she would always feel uneasy.

In this world, one is not in control of one's own destiny. Ruan Mozhu only wants to protect herself now and doesn't want to pity others. After all, there are people like the Crown Prince who are even more hateful than her. As long as she is kind-hearted and does good deeds, she can be forgiven.

um, yes.
