A storm flashed through Shen Ninghua’s heart. Which woman did not want an exclusive husband? She knew Chu Junyi’s identity and knew that it was impossible for him to never take a concubine. She could tolerate him taking a concubine in the future, but it was definitely not now.
Since she had already decided to marry Chu Junyi, her status as his wife must be perfectly justifiable, and before the marriage ceremony was held, she would in no way tolerate the existence of concubines.
Shen Ninghua coldly swept her gaze over the complacent maidservant beside her, and her gaze was like a steel needle piercing straight into her heart. “Where is Chu Junyi?”
The maidservant subconsciously took two steps back in fear. Her face turned pale. She suddenly realized that she was not facing a woman from a common official family, but a royal princess who was truly emitting dignity. “Young Master is in Miss’ courtyard.”
Shen Ninghua’s expression became colder as she walked straight towards Xiao Huanxi’s yard.
When Madam Su saw Shen Ninghua walking past, she hurriedly stepped forward and pulled her. “Ninghua, what’s wrong with you? Why are you having such a bad look?”
“Auntie, I’m fine. I just noticed that my dress was stained, so I asked the maid to take me to Miss Xiao’s yard in the backyard to tidy it up.” Shen Ninghua immediately adjusted her expression.
Seeing Shen Ninghua’s gentle smile, Madam Su nodded. “Well, hurry up and go. After tidying up, come back quickly. After all, this isn’t your own mansion, and there are many inconveniencies.”
Noticing Madam Su’s implicit reminder, Shen Ninghua smiled and nodded. “Yes, I know.”
The crowd’s noise instantly dissipated as they entered the backyard. Shen Ninghua ignored the maid beside her and walked towards Xiao Huanxi’s courtyard according to her memories.
As soon as she arrived at the door, Shen Ninghua’s footsteps stopped and she abruptly stood still. The fragrance of Yilan Flower floated in the air, and one of the most obvious effects of this flower was to arouse sexual desire!
Shen Ninghua couldn’t help but clench her fists tightly, and a faint feeling of betrayal arose in her heart. If Chu Junyi really took the bait…She closed her eyes, and her mind gradually calmed down. If Xiao Huanxi dared to scheme against her in such a way, she would dare to ruin the entire Xiao family!
After making up her mind, Shen Ninghua suddenly pushed open the door and entered the courtyard.
There were two pieces of clothing scattered in the courtyard. Shen Ninghua didn’t bother to examine them carefully and directly pushed open the tightly closed door!
As soon as the door opened, a strong smell of Yilan Flower rushed into her nose. Shen Ninghua’s heart suddenly trembled and she immediately had a bad premonition. But before she took a step back, she felt someone suddenly push her back and she directly staggered into the room.
Xiao Huanxi stood outside the door, and her eyes flickered with joy. Beside her stood a man with a coveting expression. It was Wang Wei who was almost choked to death by Chu Junyi with a wine cup.
“Cousin, it’s almost time. I should go in now.” As Wang Wei spoke, he rubbed his hands back and forth with an impatient look.
Xiao Huanxi curled her lips. Seeing his anxious appearance, her heart was filled with disgust. “Cousin, we have a deal. If someone finds out, don’t sell me out. I don’t know anything.”
“Don’t worry, cousin. How will I sell you out! Besides, once this woman’s body is touched and her innocence is tainted, what else can she do? Even if Princess Zhaohua is a fierce woman, I will definitely turn her into a lovely cat.”
Seeing Wang Wei’s drooling expression, the disgust in Xiao Huanxi’s eyes became even more obvious. She waved her hand and said, “You can go ahead. I will guide people over here later. If you want to take possession of Shen Ninghua and become the emperor’s son-in-law, don’t forget what we agreed to.”
“Yes, yes, I know.”
After being pushed into the room, Shen Ninghua subconsciously closed her breath. However, the moment she opened the door, she had inhaled a lot of Yilan Flower Pollen and Muscle Relaxant, which caused her body to immediately feel hot and powerless.
She bit the tip of her tongue and used the pain to maintain a clear mind. Wind and clouds surged in her eyes. It seemed that Xiao Huanxi successfully set her up this time. She had always thought that Xiao Huanxi would do anything to get Chu Junyi, but she never thought that she would actually target her!
Waves of hot and dry aura came from within her body. Shen Ninghua could barely hold on. The door was firmly locked from the outside. It was impossible for her to leave. She could only think of another way.
She sat on a chair and pulled out a gold needle from the edge of her sleeve. She directly stabbed into the acupoint in her arm. The intense pain made her face pale, but her mind was much clearer.
Suddenly a movement came from the door. Shen Ninghua’s heart trembled. A trace of killing intent flashed in her eyes. She slowly pulled out the gold hairpin from her head and held it in her hand. At this moment, the person who entered the room must be Xiao Huanxi’s accomplice who came to take possession of her body.
Wang Wei walked in impatiently and directly closed the door. He whispered, “Your Highness, my beauty, I’m coming…” He turned around and saw Shen Ninghua sitting on the chair. His legs softened when he saw her pitch-black eyes filled with killing intent, and he directly knelt on the ground.
“You…you are not drugged?”
Shen Ninghua’s eyes flashed as she forcefully restrained the medicinal effect in her body. “It’s actually you? Heh, Xiao Huanxi actually sent you here as a scapegoat!”
“You…what scapegoat are you talking about?”
“Hmph, drugging the princess. Do your Wang family feel tired of living?”
“You…you’re talking nonsense, this medicine…” Wang Wei’s gaze was panicked. He was lecherous, but his lust was not enough to let him forget everything. Seeing Shen Ninghua’s murderous aura, he was actually intimidated. “I don’t know what drugs you are talking about. Your Highness, you and I are in love!”
“In love? Looks like you thought you are someone. Why don’t you see if you deserve?” What a ruthless Xiao Huanxi. Not only did she plan to let Wang Wei destroy her innocence, she also wanted to destroy the rest of her life. Shen Ninghua was enraged, and her mind immediately relaxed. The medicinal effect in her body suddenly jumped out, causing her to let out a muffled groan.
Wang Wei’s legs were trembling from fear, but when he heard Shen Ninghua groaning, he looked at her carefully and instantly heaved a sigh of relief. “Haha, I thought you weren’t drugged. Seems that you were bluffing! Hmph, so what if you are a princess? What was lit up in the incense burner was the Charming Incense. Even if you were the Profound Maiden from the heavens, you should obediently be at my mercy!”
Shen Ninghua’s expression changed as she gripped the hairpin in her hand even tighter.
Wang Wei was annoyed by the previous conversation, so he directly took off his coat and pounced towards Shen Ninghua.
Shen Ninghua bit her lips fiercely. The killing intent in her eyes was even more intense. Even if she had to kill this guy, she would not allow him to touch her!
Thinking about it, she slashed the gold hairpin in her hand towards Wang Wei’s neck.
Although Wang Wei was a playboy, he had at least learned some martial arts skills. Besides, Shen Ninghua had been drugged with muscle relaxant, and her strength wasn’t that great. He actually dodged her attack with ease.
“Yoohoo, you really are a fierce woman. But today, since you are in my hand, I will let you enjoy it!”
Shen Ninghua gasped. The cold light in her eyes almost condensed into substance. She stared at Wang Wei and shouted, “Wang Wei, if you touch me with your finger today, I will break your arm tomorrow! If you dare to destroy my innocence, not only will I shred you into pieces, but the entire Wang family will also be buried with you!”
Wang Wei’s heart trembled violently. However, a great beauty was placed in front of him. How was he willing to give up? He turned around to avoid Shen Ninghua’s sight and rushed towards her.
Chu Junyi changed his clothes and walked out of the courtyard. He was still very unhappy. But just as he arrived at the door, Xiao Huanxi walked over anxiously with her maidservant. Seeing him, her expression immediately changed. “Jun…Brother Junyi…”
Chu Junyi nodded and was about to walk forward.
Xiao Huanxi suddenly pulled his sleeve and said, “Brother Junyi, have you seen Princess Zhaohua?”
“Ninghua? Isn’t she in the front yard?” Chu Junyi immediately had a bad premonition.
“Front yard? Didn’t she come to my yard to change clothes? After I changed my clothes, I went to the front yard. I heard from her aunt, Madam Su, that she stained her dress and went to my yard to change clothes.”
Chu Junyi’s expression changed as he shook off Xiao Huanxi’s arm and leapt towards the courtyard beside.
Xiao Huanxi sneered and turned to tell her maid, “Go to the front yard and say that Princess Zhaohua is missing. Guide everyone into my yard. I want Shen Ninghua to be completely ruined!” After saying those words, she took on a panicked expression and chased after Chu Junyi.
Chu Junyi entered Xiao Huanxi’s courtyard and saw the tightly shut door. His heart immediately sank. He turned around and walked towards Xiao Huanxi. He raised his palm and directly slashed at Xiao Huanxi’s neck, knocking her unconscious.
Without delay, he dragged Xiao Huanxi with one hand and opened the door with the other. A strong smell came from the room. Chu Junyi felt as if he was falling into an ice cellar. When he saw the scene in the room, his heart became even colder. Instantly, anger rose and he pounced towards Wang Wei who was in the room with a destructive aura.
Wang Wei was currently lying on top of Shen Ninghua tearing her clothes apart!
Chu Junyi loosened his grip and directly threw Xiao Huanxi onto the ground. His eyes were scarlet red as he rushed over; he pulled Wang Wei up and threw him behind. Then, he approached Wang Wei and stomped on his chest. Hearing the cracking sound, he exerted more and more strength, wanting to directly trample him to death.
Wang Wei, who had spent a lot of effort suppressing Shen Ninghua, was just about to enjoy her body. Before he could react, he felt the world spinning around him. Then, he was smashed against the wall with a thud. Before he could get up, he felt a mountain pressing down on his chest.
Shen Ninghua’s heart was in deathly desperation. Hearing the sounds of the surroundings, she barely opened her eyes and said, “Chu Junyi…let him live!” She wanted to personally let Wang Wei taste the feeling that life was a worse choice than death!
Chu Junyi hurriedly returned to her and hugged her in his arms.
Shen Ninghua raised her eyes and turned her numb gaze to Chu Junyi’s face. The killing intent within slowly dissipated. “Take…take me away! Quickly!”
Chu Junyi glanced around and picked up the gold hairpin on the ground. After cleaning up the traces, he directly picked up Shen Ninghua and jumped out of the window.
After entering the secret room of his courtyard from a deserted corner, Chu Junyi carefully placed Shen Ninghua on the chair and said, “Ninghua…” The regret in his heart was unimaginable. He didn’t dare to imagine what he would do if he went a little late and let Wang Wei have his way.
The drug in Shen Ninghua’s body was taking effect. Chu Junyi’s voice carried a charming aura in her ears, causing her to feel dizzy, as if she was floating in the clouds.
Seeing her messy clothes, Chu Junyi cut Wang Wei into pieces a hundred times in his heart. He must settle this debt with that bastard!
“Ninghua, let me help you tidy up your clothes!” After saying that, he carefully approached to help her pull her clothes together.
But Shen Ninghua suddenly pulled on his sleeve. She approached his embrace and felt the familiar elegant sandalwood fragrance. Her tense nerves relaxed and she stuck to him tightly.
Chu Junyi felt his heart skip a beat. He lowered his head slightly and saw Shen Ninghua’s slender and beautiful neck and snow-white and alluring collarbone in her messy clothes. Immediately, his mouth became dry…
