Chapter 225 Miss you
"Those who harmed my daughter must pay the price," Old Madam Chu said firmly.
Upon hearing this, Wen Yitong closed her eyes.
She dared not listen any longer; she knew her life was in grave danger.
However, a sliver of hope always remained in her heart.
As soon as she saw the look in her eyes, Old Madam Chu knew what she was thinking. She sneered and said, "Don't worry, you, your mother, the Duke of Wen, and your cheap father are all safe."
"Anyone who harmed my daughter will not escape." Old Madam Chu's words were like demons from hell demanding her life, making Wen Yitong's face turn extremely pale.
She was on edge, gritting her teeth as she said, "Since you want my life, why don't you... why don't you kill me now?"
It took all her courage to say those words.
If she could live, she would never want to die, but it was clear that this grandfather and grandson were not going to let her go.
If that's the case, it's better to die a quick death.
A strange light flickered in Wen Shuyao's eyes, causing Wen Yitong to tense up instantly: "What do you want to do?"
"The Zhang family dotes on you to the bone," Wen Shuyao said softly. "As long as I have you in my hands, why should I worry about the Zhang family not showing up?"
“I would not open the coffin unless absolutely necessary.” Wen Shuyao said these words lightly, but they weighed heavily on Wen Yitong’s heart.
Wen Yitong's lips trembled as she looked at Wen Shuyao in disbelief: "You want to use me to threaten Mother? No! This..."
“That’s right,” Wen Shuyao said softly. “Tell me, she loves you so much, what would she do if I threatened your life?”
Wen Yitong understood Wen Shuyao's intentions, and she even guessed that even if Madam Wen told the whole truth, Wen Shuyao would not spare her life.
At this moment, Wen Yitong longed to connect with Madam Wen on a deeper level so that she could offer her a reminder.
However, now that she was tied to this pillar, the courtyard was filled with Wen Shuyao's people, and she couldn't escape even if she had wings.
"Wen Shuyao!" she said hatefully, watching Wen Shuyao walk slowly away. "I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"
As soon as she said this, Wen Shuyao didn't even stop walking.
In that case, Wen Shuyao would never take it to heart.
not to mention……
Wen Shuyao looked up at the azure sky, a smile appearing in her eyes.
Even if she becomes a ghost, Wen Yitong will not be her match.
As she and Wen Shuyao walked out, Old Madam Chu said irritably, "Why did you come here without saying a word? What if she had some sharp weapon on her and hurt you? What would your grandfather and I do?"
Her face was full of worry for Wen Shuyao, and even though she was scolding her, Wen Shuyao couldn't get angry at all.
"Grandmother," she said, clinging to Old Madam Chu's arm, "Don't worry, I've already made all the necessary preparations with Granny Qi."
Despite this, the displeasure on Old Madam Chu's face had not dissipated: "Better safe than sorry. You shouldn't underestimate Wen Yitong."
"Although Wen Yitong is stupid, she is vicious enough. Once she gets angry, she will definitely hurt you." Old Madam Chu said in an unhappy tone, "No matter what the secret is, you should have someone with you, even if it's just a magpie following you."
"Although the magpie doesn't know martial arts, she is loyal enough to you," Old Madam Chu instructed. "There are no secrets between you two."
The old lady Chu knew that her granddaughter had many secrets, but she was unwilling to delve into them.
However, these secrets cannot be kept by Wen Shuyao at the expense of her own safety.
"Even the most important secret is not as important as your life," Old Madam Chu said sternly. "Yaoyao, you must remember my warning today. If you do it again..."
"I will confine myself to my quarters for three months and stay by your side every step of the way." Wen Shuyao raised four fingers and solemnly swore an oath.
Old Madam Chu impatiently pried her hand back and said, "I don't need you to swear an oath. Besides, if I confine you to my side for three months, Prince Jing will get anxious."
At this point, the teasing smile on Old Madam Chu's face could no longer be concealed.
Wen Shuyao was taken aback at first, but after seeing the expression on Old Madam Chu's face, an unbelievable thought popped into her mind.
Then, her heart began to pound violently, almost leaping out of her chest.
"Grandmother, what are you saying?" Wen Shuyao asked cautiously, "The Prince..."
Old Madam Chu gave a light snort: "There it is."
Upon hearing this, Wen Shuyao almost immediately looked in the direction that Old Madam Chu pointed. There she saw Xie Jinghan standing tall and elegant under the eaves, his deep, affectionate peach blossom eyes fixed on her without blinking.
In her ears was the helpless yet joyful laughter of Old Madam Chu: "I heard that the Prince rushed over as soon as the palace coup was dealt with. He traveled a long way and arrived in just three hours, a journey that should have taken a day."
At this moment, Wen Shuyao noticed the bloodshot eyes in Xie Jinghan's eyes. Her heart ached, and she immediately went to Xie Jinghan.
She reached out and brushed the dust off Xie Jinghan's face, and whispered, "Why is Your Highness in such a hurry?"
"This matter is of great importance, and there are many complicated matters to attend to. Your Highness should remain in the capital and take good care of yourself..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xie Jinghan gripped her hand tightly.
His rough, large hand gripped hers tightly, stroking it repeatedly. It wasn't an overly intimate gesture, but Wen Shuyao felt a tingling sensation in her heart, and then her face flushed red.
"I..." Xie Jinghan said in a low voice, "I miss you terribly."
These four words were the most intimate words Xie Jinghan had ever spoken in his life, and a blush appeared on his fair and handsome face after he finished speaking.
Seeing that the two were standing under the eaves, with no room for anyone else, Old Madam Chu shook her head with a light laugh and left with all the servants.
Such moments should be reserved for the young couple.
After hearing Xie Jinghan's words, Wen Shuyao's blush never faded.
She opened her mouth, then slowly lowered her head under Xie Jinghan's intense gaze, her voice barely audible: "I also miss Your Highness very much."
Xie Jinghan was overjoyed to receive these words. He unconsciously tightened his grip on Wen Shuyao's hand, rubbing her fair wrist until it turned red.
Seeing this, he seemed to have done something wrong and helplessly let go of her hand.
Unexpectedly, Wen Shuyao gently took his arm at that moment.
There was a soft spot at his elbow, and Xie Jinghan barely dared to move, even his breathing slowed down.
“Your Highness, I am very happy that you could come.” Wen Shuyao raised her beautiful phoenix eyes, and although she was shy, she looked directly at Xie Jinghan. “I have missed Your Highness very much.”
