Chapter 56: The Protection from the Crown Prince
The noble crown prince was carrying the veil and gently putting the veil on the face of the girl beside him.
Nangong Lian looked at the young man who put the veil for her under the public’s criticism. He was obviously younger than her, but he was gorgeous like God. Nangong Lian had to admit that she was moved at this moment and a seed of friendship had taken root in her heart.
The tender scene from the crown prince and the ugly girl made people puzzled but no one dared to say anything.
“People have different comments. If you have a firm mind, you won’t be sad even if you listen to more critic words!” Shang Wuxin took back the hand and announced, “If you are not strong in mind, kill others directly by your identity! Why let yourself wronged? ”
Shang Wuxin’s voice was really cold, but it was the most peaceful music in Nanggong Lian’s ears. Those nightmares that haunted her for so many years and those real faces that she couldn’t let go of were suddenly eliminated at this moment.
After dressing Nanggong Lian’s veil well, Shang Wuxin looked at the maid kneeling on the ground and charged coldly, “Who give you the dare to plot against the people around me?” Nangong Lian was a special girl for Shang Wuxin. Although she didn’t want to make friends with Nanggong Lian, she couldn’t allow others to calculate Nanggong Lian since Nanggong Lian was brought here by her.
“Sorry, sorry, I’m too careless!” The maid knelt on the ground and kowtowed incessantly, “Don’t kill me; please forgive me honorable crown prince!”
“Wu Ju, I hate those noise. Since this maid is so careless in her work, pull out her tongue carelessly!” Shang Wuxin commanded coldly, but his words made the whole courtyard quiet. Everyone felt the cruelty of the crown prince this time.
However, Nangong Lian was not afraid of Prince Shang. She was so moved that no matter what Prince Shang was like, he did this all for her. She had followed her brother for so long and knew much more cruel thing her brother did, so she had been accustomed to this.
Before the maidservant begged for mercy, her tongue was cut off by Wu Wei. Her blood flowed from her mouth all over the ground, where still lay her tongue. This cruel scene made several timid women shiver.
Shang Wuxin gave a glimpse to the direction of Wanwan and then shifted away as if nothing had happened. Wanwan felt cold when Shang Wuxin looked over at her, but she thought the prince had punished that servant girl so that should be the end of this thing. Shang Wuxin didn’t really intend to do anything about Wanwan at the beginning, but she didn’t mind give an eye to eye since Wanwan had took the initiative to provoke her.
Shang Wuxin turned to the people sitting lower part and pointed to the fiercest woman who just slandered Nanggong Lian. She gently opened her pink lips as her steady and low voice slightly rose which sounded demagogues.
“Come here!”
The voice of Shang Wuxin rang in the ear. His delicate face was like white jade. The woman got up uncontrollably and slowly came to Shang Wuxin’s side. The blush on her face was more and moreobvious. Her heart was beating faster and faster and her eyes looking at the Crown Prince were more and more obsessed.
“Come on, kill this maid!” Shang Wuxin took the sword from Wu Ju and handed it to the woman.
The woman, who was obsessed in looking at Shang Wuxin, suddenly woke up and shivered when she touched the cold long sword. The long sword fell to the ground immediately. She felt horrible looking the servant girl lying there, covering her mouth.
All people on the seats, no matter men or women, murdered some life. The only difference was that these ladies never kill others by their own hand. So at this moment, the woman felt afraid and didn’t know what to do next with the long sword in her hand.
Shang Wuxin turned a blind eye to the woman’s frightened expressions. Wu Ju went up, took her long sword and put it on the woman’s hand again holding her tightly. Although the woman struggled to refuse, how could she compare with the powerful Wu Ju?
Wu Ju held the woman’s hand and pierce the maidservant’s abdomen directly with the sword as blood squelched.
The woman wanted to scream but she was choked off. She could only watch her hand holding the long sword was moved into the body of the maid by Wu Ju behind her. Her face was splashed with fresh blood. She looked at the dead maid on the ground, dumbfounded at this moment.
Wu Ju let go of the woman’s hand, took back her long sword and wiped it with a handkerchief behind Shang Wuxin as if nothing had been done. But at this moment, no one dared to look down on this maid of Shang Wuxin. What was more, they became more afraid of the crown prince.
Nangong Lian suddenly chuckled when everyone was frightened. Her voice was even more awfully soft, “Crown Prince, you are so kind to me!”
She sat slightly closer to Shang Wuxin while saying that but didn’t touch Shang Wuxin, which let Leng Yufeng understand that Nanggong Lian didn’t had an affection for Shang Wuxin so he restrained himself to hurt her. Although, he was still uncomfortable watching Shang Wuxin so protective toward her.
As expected, Nangong Lian received many attentions of both fear and hate. Nangong Lian gave Shang Wuxin an innocent look. She knew that her veil was pulled away by these women on purpose. She used to feel shame but now she was courageous because of Shang Wuxin, who protected her and avenged her. Nangong Lian felt that it didn’t matter at present even the whole world knew she was ugly because her mind was now strong enough.
At this time, people didn’t notice that there was only one of the two maids following Shang Wuxin. No one paid attention to the maid behind the crown prince because of such things. Shang Chenzhao ordered servants to deal with the dead maids on the ground and felt really depressed. Originally, he planned to make Shang Wuxin lose his reputation, but now the situation might ruin his plan.
“Crown Prince, it’s not clean here. Let’s go to the garden! My garden is very beautiful!” Shang Chenzhao said with a smile. If there was no obvious urgency in his eyes, he would really appear good.
“There he is!” Shang Wuxin thought secretly and then nodded, “Alright!” When they went to the garden, Wu Wei quietly returned to Shang Wuxin after a while of absence.
Leng Yufeng, who noticed the reappearance of Wu Wei at Shang Wuxin’s side, looked at this big mansion of the eldest prince coldly with full understanding of what would happen.
