Chapter 171: You Are My Man!

Only now did Wang Wei start to be afraid. “Your Highness, I really know that I’m wrong now. I don’t dare to do it anymore. Please forgive me.” Earlier, he had been fascinated by Shen Ninghua’s appearance. Coupled with Xiao Huanxi’s constant bewitchment, he had the guts to plot against Shen Ninghua. He really didn’t expect the consequences to be so serious.

A cold smile rippled across her lips. Shen Ninghua didn’t conceal the killing intent in her eyes at all. “You know you’re wrong? Haha, when you are dead, I’ll burn two pieces of paper money and tell King of Hell that I killed the wrong person. You can die without worries.”

Wang Wei was so scared that he almost wetted his pants. “Your Highness! Your Highness, don’t kill me. I don’t want to die.”

Shen Ninghua turned the jade bracelet on her hand and said coldly, “I’ll give you two choices. First, I kill you directly. Second, I’ll let you live, but I’ll take revenge in other ways. Which one do you choose?”

“I choose the second one. I don’t want to die. Your Highness, as long as you don’t kill me, you can let me do anything.”

Chu Junyi sneered and looked at Wang Wei with disgust. “Sometimes it’s better to die than to live.”

Shen Ninghua sneered. “Alright, since you chose the second path, let it be your fortune.”

She turned her head to look at Qing Que who had rushed over and said, “Write out his confession and ask him to sign it. Then feed him the drug I asked you to bring and throw him into a brothel!”

“Yes, Miss.” Qing Que’s movements carried a bloody murderous aura. Without another word, she fed Wang Wei a bottle of strong aphrodisiac, and then carried him out of the secret room.

Xiao Huanxi’s face turned deathly pale from fear as she constantly crouched into the corner. How dared Shen Ninghua? Wang Wei was at least the son of a grade-one official of the Imperial Court!

Shen Ninghua turned to look at Xiao Huanxi. Her cold face became even more beautiful and exquisite against the surrounding flames. “Miss Xiao, have you made your choice?”

Xiao Huanxi’s body trembled as she subconsciously looked at Chu Junyi, who was standing beside. “Choice? What choice? Why should I choose? That Wang Wei was clearly framing me. Brother Junyi, believe me, I don’t know anything about this. I really don’t know anything about it.”

Shen Ninghua slowly walked to the front of Xiao Huanxi. Her silky dress drew a beautiful arc in the air. She slowly squatted down and smiled mockingly. “Xiao Huanxi, do you know that you remind me of someone?”

“Whom?”

“My sister, Shen Linghan.” Shen Ninghua slightly lowered her eyes. Her slender eyelashes cast a fan-shaped shadow on her white porcelain-like cheeks. “She is just like you. You look weak and fragile, but inside, your entire heart has been soaked black by venom!”

“Shen Ninghua, how dare you say that to me? Aren’t you the same? The one who just fed someone with drug and threw him into a brothel is you!” Xiao Huanxi retorted loudly!

“I never launch attacks first. I just seek revenge for whatever grievances I received. But you bite whoever you see. Besides, even if I’m like you, it’s fine. You can’t blame me for being prettier than you, right?”

Chu Junyi was staring at Shen Ninghua worriedly, afraid that her body would not be able to hold on. He did not expect that he would suddenly hear this sentence and immediately froze, not knowing how to react.

Xiao Huanxi was dumbfounded. “You…you really are shameless!”

“Even if I’m shameless, it’s fine. After all, I have Chu Junyi who is dedicated to me. No matter what I do, as long as I turn around, someone will open his arms to embrace me. You are different. You originally had the Xiao family, your brother, and many people behind you, but you tossed them away by yourself.”

As a woman, Shen Ninghua clearly knew how to stab the knife to make it hurt even more. Sure enough, Xiao Huanxi’s eyes turned red with anger.

“Nonsense, my father and eldest brother will always support me! Brother Junyi will not marry you!”

“In the past, your father and eldest brother might support you, but not after tonight. After all, a girl who disappears all night has no innocence at all.” Shen Ninghua’s tone was cold. “Also, Chu Junyi is already my man!”

Xiao Huanxi forcefully suppressed the tremors all over her body. “Shen Ninghua, what exactly are you going to do?”

Shen Ninghua curled her lips and said, “There is a broad road in front of you, but you insist on taking the thorny path. Since you are determined to die, I feel embarrassed not to push you from behind. Xiao Huanxi, you see me as an arch-enemy, so I naturally should live up to your expectation. Stay here obediently today. Someone will let you go early tomorrow morning.”

Xiao Huanxi was stunned. She didn’t expect Shen Ninghua to let her off so easily. “You will let me off like this?”

Shen Ninghua laughed out loud. “What, you don’t like this choice? You want me to feed you aphrodisiac and send you to the brothel like I did to Wang Wei?”

“No, I don’t!” Xiao Huanxi crouched in the corner and looked at Shen Ninghua warily.

Shen Ninghua sneered, turned around and walked out.

Hong Ling drove the carriage and waited outside. Seeing Shen Ninghua coming out, she hurriedly stepped forward to support her and said, “Miss, let’s go back to the mansion quickly.”

Shen Ninghua nodded. When she got on the carriage, her feet went feeble and she almost knocked her head onto the carriage shaft. Fortunately, Chu Junyi, who was standing beside her, had been carefully protecting her. Seeing that she was about to fall, he hurriedly pulled her up and hugged her in his arms.

“Don’t force yourself.”

He didn’t let go and directly carried her into the carriage. Afterwards, he didn’t put her down and simply sat down against the carriage wall while hugging her in his arms.

The carriage moved forward and shook a little. Shen Ninghua leaned against Chu Junyi’s shoulder and relaxed.

“I told you not to force yourself…”

Shen Ninghua’s closed eyes slightly opened. Her slender eyelashes swept across Chu Junyi’s neck, causing his entire body to stiffen.

“Undue delay may bring trouble. It’s best to do it now.”

Chu Junyi forcefully shifted his attention away from his neck. “What about Xiao Huanxi? You simply lock her up for one night?”

Shen Ninghua was silent for a while before she explained, “She can’t die yet.”

“…You did this because of me?” Chu Junyi asked softly.

“You are one reason. The most important reason is that I am not 100% confident about confronting the Xiao family, so it is better to be patient.”

“Yes, it’s up to you.” Chu Junyi pulled her closer and lowered his head to smell the fragrance coming from her hair, suppressing the fear in his heart.

“In the end, I am also a selfish person. Ninghua, if something really happened to you today, I would definitely kill Wang Wei and Xiao Huanxi on the spot!”

Shen Ninghua’s heart trembled. A trace of warmth flashed through her eyes, but her tone was very stiff. “You will kill Xiao Huanxi for me? After all, she is your sister!”

“I’m not sure if I would do this before, but seeing Wang Wei dared to do this to you today, I only had killing intent in my heart at that time, and I didn’t care whether she was my younger sister…From the looks of it, my eldest brother was right when he said that I was a cold-blooded person.” Chu Junyi laughed self-deprecatingly.

But Shen Ninghua suddenly opened her eyes, and a bright light flashed across her eyes. “You did very well. As an emperor, that’s what you should do!”

Chu Junyi felt it funny and hugged her tighter into his embrace. He only wished that he could merge her into his bones and blood. “Ninghua, you just said that I will open my arms behind you to embrace you? Hmm?”

His voice carried a smile, as well as warmth and satisfaction if carefully distinguished. At the beginning, Ninghua treated him as nothing. Gradually, the two of them worked together and understood each other bit by bit. He spent a lot of effort opening the door to her heart and peeking into her world. Now, she did not hesitate to say what she had just said. She really began to accept him.

Thinking about it, he actually had the feeling that years of efforts finally paid off…

Shen Ninghua raised her eyes to look at his complacent expression. As her eyes rolled, she gave him a charming look. “What? Is it inappropriate for me to say that?”

This was the first time Chu Junyi had seen such an expression on Shen Ninghua’s face, and for a moment he forgot to react.

Shen Ninghua turned around to sit face to face with him. Her soft arms were like silk curtains wrapping around his neck, and she fiercely said, “You are my man. I want people to know that so they won’t covet you. What do you think?”

You are my man…Chu Junyi’s mind was filled with these words as he suddenly laughed out loud. “You’re right. I’m your man, so I should let the world know.”

He looked at Shen Ninghua’s slightly provocative appearance and his eyes flashed. He thought that he had understood Shen Ninghua well enough, but he didn’t expect her to have such a domineering and childish appearance. This made him want to keep exploring her and see if she was like the fox spirit in the storybook, which was said to have thousands of different faces…

Shen Ninghua ignored him and directly closed her eyes in his embrace. The series of events had made her feel extremely tired and she soon fell asleep.

After returning to the Princess Mansion, Chu Junyi did not wake her up. He directly carried her to her room and warned Bai Ruo and the others to guard her. Then, he reluctantly looked at Shen Ninghua once again, pulled up the quilt for her and flashed out of the room.

When Shen Ninghua woke up again, the sky was already bright.

Bai Ruo brought in some water for her to wash her face. Hong Ling followed behind and ran in, and her eyes were filled with excitement. “Miss, it’s very lively outside today. Why don’t you ask what happened?”

Shen Ninghua raised her eyes and she was willing to cooperate with her. “What happened?”

Hong Ling jumped over and said, “Miss, after the banquet ended yesterday, Xiao Huanxi was still missing. Patriarch Xiao directly went into the Palace to ask His Majesty for help from the Governor of Capital Guards. Yesterday, the entire capital was searched, but no one found her. This morning, however, Xiao Huanxi suddenly appeared alone at the city gate. The Governor of Capital Guards hurriedly stopped her and personally sent her to the Xiao Mansion. Now, the entire capital knows that Xiao Huanxi was out for a whole night.”

Shen Ninghua’s eyes flashed with a smile. “Alright, what happened next?”

“Right now, people of the capital are secretly guessing what happened to Miss Xiao last night. It was said that some people wanted to write a story about her. However, they didn’t dare to say it out loud because they were afraid that they would offend the Xiao family.”

“It’s normal. However, as long as they have guesses in their hearts, slander by many mouths can melt the metal. The longer people remain silent, the more problematic it seems. Xiao Huanxi will definitely suffer this time.”

Hong Ling smiled and nodded. She felt very happy in her heart. “And that Wang Wei, it was said that he was found in a pigsty behind the brothel today. He broke into the brothel alone and harassed the girls in the brothel without paying them. He was beaten half to death by the pimp’s guards and thrown into the pigsty behind. As for what happened that night, I don’t know. I only know that one of Wang Wei’s legs was broken by the sow and two of his ribs were broken. Now he is on the verge of death.”

Shen Ninghua took a cloth towel to wipe off the water on her face and slowly spat out the sullen air in her heart. “Alright, I see.”

Bai Ruo pushed Hong Ling aside and went forward to help Shen Ninghua with her hair. “Miss, Doctor Chen is here. He said that he came here to check your pulse.”

Chen Yun came so early in the morning? Shen Ninghua was stunned for a moment, then her heart warmed up. Chu Junyi must have specially invited Doctor Chen for her last night…
