C2 (2/2)
His warm eyes fell to the ground and rolled into Wei Yi's line of sight. They were bloodstained and indifferent as usual.
”Ah …” So painful, Wangchuan bit her lip in pain, while her teeth seeped into her lips. Fresh blood flowed out from her eye sockets, just like blood tears.
In an instant, he was in a sorry state like a dead dog as he laid paralyzed on the stone floor. Only his light footsteps could be heard, and in the next moment, Wei Yi's fingers had already covered him.
”I will temporarily spare your life after you made your first mistake. If there is a next time, I will definitely let you …” ”Yes, there's no reply.”
Forgotten panted heavily, as if his eyes had been touched by water, and replied, ”Thank you, Sir Qian Jing, for your magnanimity.”
”Do you hate me?”
The tip of Wei Yi's tongue lightly licked his lips, and at the instant that beautiful red color was swallowed, he seemed to have tasted a strand of sweetness.
Wu Chuan did not answer. Watching her being carried away and thrown out of the Wei Residence, his eyes gradually lost its warmth and became covered in a layer of white frost.
”...”
Just as dawn arrived, Wu Chuan was thrown outside the Gu Residence.
She was in so much pain that her limbs twitched, and she was unable to get up. The peddlers looked at her weirdly, but they did not dare to approach her to inspect her. They only surrounded her and pointed at her.
Soon, the door of the mansion opened, and Wangchuan was carried in by a group of dexterous women. Surprisingly, they threw her in a place that looked like a woodshed.
The grass beneath her was very hard, and she could still hear the rustling sounds, like the squeaking of a mouse.
A woman looked at Wu Chuan, whose eyes had been gouged out and whose face was covered in blood. She was both disgusted and fearful. ”Madame said that Miss Wu Chuan lost her face in the Gu Residence, so I'll reflect on it here first …”
Wu Chuan smirked, he raised his hand to wipe his face, but suddenly came in contact with something soft. She gripped onto it, wrapped it around her wrist, and aimed it at her palm, and took a bite.
She flung the worm against the wall. Before she could struggle to get up, she heard the sound of the door of the woodshed being locked.
She gritted her teeth and took a deep breath, feeling helpless —
Being bullied by a dog when a tiger falls on the plain and Gu Zheng not being around, of course the old wives who see the wind and order around had to curry favor with their new wives.
Wu Chuan lifted her hand and placed the blade of the tiger in her mouth. Her tongue tasted the blood, and she knew that it was a long, non-poisonous insect, and that there were countless of it in the prison. She had also personally sent a traitor who had colluded with East Manor into the snake den, and in these three days, that person was practically just a skeleton, dying …
After an unknown period of time, the wood door opened.
Wu Chuan subconsciously raised his head and heard a sneer:
”It turns out that my eyes were gouged out like this. Truly pitiful.”
When the new wife saw that Wu Chuan had ignored her and was suddenly looked straight into those dark eyes, her heart began pounding, but before she entered the house she heard that Wu Chuan was interested in Gu Zheng. A hint of ruthlessness surfaced on her charming face and she clapped her hands lightly.
Wu Chuan frowned slightly as his fingers subconsciously groped around his waist, touching the dagger Gu Zheng had given her back then. Only then did she feel a sliver of comfort.
Wu Chuan did not know that this new madam boasted that her birth was nobler than Gu Zheng's. Although she was a concubine from the palace, she still had face.
Yesterday, she had purposefully been gentle and petty in front of Gu Zheng in order to hook Gu Zheng's heart, but when faced with the women of Gu Zheng's residence, she had not been cowardly at all.
”It's merely a thousand men of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. You, Lord Gu, don't need to offend Prince Yongding's Estate for a cripple.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wangchuan was surprised that the sound in the courtyard had died down, when he heard familiar footsteps.
It was Gu Zheng.
