Arrogant and domineering because of his good looks: His Majesty always pretends to be righteous

"What do you want to do?"

"Master Zhao, you mustn't do anything rash! I'm a woman of strong character. If I die, you won't get away with it either."

"I advise you to release me right now. I'm still so young, how can you be so heartless?"

"I promise you, as long as you release me, I will not tell anyone about anything that happened today."

She spoke through tears, her voice choked with sobs. She was terrified, knowing full well that this place was deserted and that if she died here, no one would ever know.

No matter how much I dislike this old man, this is the only way I can stall for time.

Looking at the tearful woman, Master Zhao's wicked smile became even more pronounced.

"You need to understand that I didn't want to hurt you from the beginning, but you're such a strong-willed girl, like an untamed cat!"

"Actually, if you were even a little bit more compliant with me, I would never be willing to let you go..."

He touched her smooth face with his wrinkled hand.

Yang Wanqing suppressed her discomfort and tried hard to control her emotions, trying to make her expression look more natural.

She forced a smile, looking at Master Zhao with a wry smile.

"Please, please let me go! I've been tied up for so long, I'm really uncomfortable, and my breathing is getting more and more rapid."

"I'm telling you, it's not that I don't want to be with you, it's just that I have a very serious congenital heart condition! Marrying me would only make me a money-loser. Don't be fooled by my pretty appearance, I'm all looks and no substance..."

Old Master Zhao's heart tightened suddenly, and he scrutinized Yang Wanqing in front of him with a surprised look.

He absolutely refused to believe that such a beautiful and charming woman could have a congenital heart disease.

If this is true, then even if you buy it, it will only be a money-losing investment, and might even cause you a lot of trouble.

He looked at Yang Wanqing again and saw that her big eyes were wide open, her face was as pale as paper because of extreme fear, and she looked trembling. She did seem a little sick.

"How come I've never heard of you having congenital heart disease?"

"Your beauty is renowned far and wide, but I have never heard any rumors that you are ill."

"I'll say it again: are you willing to be my wife? My family is extremely wealthy, and you definitely won't lose out if you marry me."

At this moment, Master Zhao had a serious expression, and a tense and oppressive feeling filled the entire room.

Yang Wanqing knew this guy well; he wasn't easy to fool. He must have gone to such lengths to get what he wanted, so he was definitely determined to succeed.

If his hands and feet are tied, he has no chance of escaping. This old man is unpredictable, and if he makes a move here, he's doomed.

Her bright eyes flickered, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

"Can you let me go? I'm in so much pain. I promise you, if you let me go, I promise I won't run away. Besides, this is the middle of nowhere, where can I go?"

"There are guards outside; even if I had wings, I couldn't escape!"

Seeing that Master Zhao remained unmoved, she immediately collapsed to the ground, rolling around on the floor and groaning in pain.

"Oh dear, I feel so awful, I'm going to die..."

"Please help me... I beg you!"

Master Zhao was so frightened that he immediately retreated a great distance.

"You... what's wrong with you? I didn't drug you..."

She slowly raised her small face, her forehead covered in glistening beads of cold sweat. Her body swayed precariously, weak and powerless, as if she might faint at any moment.

“I already told you I’m sick! I have a very serious heart condition! In dark and damp places, and when I’m frightened, I’m very prone to having a seizure.”

"How could I joke about such things? Look at how sickly I look, do you think I'm faking it?"

"If you don't let go of me, I'm really going to die! Are you just going to watch me die? Wouldn't it be bad luck if I became a dead person?"

Yang Wanqing rolled around on the ground, wailing in pain.

Master Zhao couldn't sit still any longer and hurriedly untied her ropes.

Yang Wanqing seized the opportunity. She immediately pulled out the scissors she was carrying and held them to the old man's neck.

"do not move……"

"If you move again, I'll kill you!"

Yang Wanqing was terrified; even the hand holding the dagger was trembling uncontrollably.

But at this moment there was no way out. She could only grit her teeth and grit her teeth, otherwise she would probably die here.

"You brat, don't do anything reckless! If you don't want to, then don't. We can discuss anything. I don't want to lose my life here."

When Master Zhao saw that Yang Wanqing was serious, he panicked instantly. He was already a bit greedy and lustful, but he didn't want to risk his life for this.

Yang Wanqing moved her feet carefully until she got close to the gate.

At this moment, Master Zhao was already terrified, like a lamb to the slaughter, with no ability to resist.

Yang Wanqing shoved Master Zhao away forcefully and then ran away.

By the time she reached the Xia family home, she was already exhausted and breathless, collapsing to the ground, panting heavily.

She burst into tears, unable to control the fear within her any longer.

"What's wrong? What happened? Why are you so scared?"

"Who bullied you? Tell us right now, and I'll stand up for you."

Yang Wanqing was overwhelmed with mixed feelings. She hugged Xia Rongliu tightly, tears streaming down her face, and she cried until she fainted.

Looking at Yang Wanqing's exhausted appearance in her boudoir, Xia Yue felt a pang of sadness. He lovingly stroked her hair, his nose tingled, and tears almost welled up in his eyes.

Thinking about it carefully, she was also a pitiful child. She had no parents' love since she was a child. She finally grew into a beautiful young woman, but then others set their sights on her.

"Mother...Is Yang Wanqing alright? I'm so worried about my sister! She seems so tired lately, like she's suffered a lot of grievances! But she's not very willing to talk about it when we ask."

Although Xia Rongliu was still young, she understood everything perfectly. She had been perceptive since childhood, and was exceptionally intelligent. Her clever little head understood everything.

"It's nothing serious, just need some rest. It's just that you were too frightened. It seems you experienced something very scary last night."

Xia Yue spoke slowly, and then the two children left the room. What they needed now was to rest quietly.
