Chapter 275 Rage
When the guard saw the King of Yan, he did not notice Xiao Jun beside him and said:
"Your Majesty, there are many martial arts masters outside. I will protect you..."
He was halfway through his words when he noticed the sword on King Yan's neck. He quickly stopped talking and stared at King Yan with wide eyes in disbelief. Xiao Jun shouted angrily:
"Back off, get out!"
The guard was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Prince Yan nod, he walked backwards. When they went out, they saw that the yard was in chaos. Prince Yan's guards tried desperately to rush into the house, but were stopped outside by a group of masked men. Some of them were injured or killed, and the guards were about to rush to the door.
Is Mengxi really just a divorced woman?
Seeing this, the King of Yan was secretly shocked. How could a deposed woman be worth so many martial arts masters risking their lives for her? Moreover, this was against him, the popular prince. Isn't he afraid of his endless pursuit in the future!
King Yan shook his head, suddenly realizing that he had missed something. He subconsciously looked towards Mengxi, only to see her lying comfortably in Xiao Jun's arms with her arms around his neck.
King Yan was furious and said:
"Xiao Jun, it's as easy for me to kill you as to crush an ant. It's not too late for you to let go now. I promise to send you out of the villa safely and never embarrass the Xiao family or anyone here again!"
"Your Majesty is a noble, high-ranking official. How can you disregard the law of the king and embarrass the Xiao family of Pingyang for no reason under the feet of the emperor?"
"You! Okay, okay, Xiao Jun, you must be stubborn and insist on doing what you want. Don't say that you may not be able to walk out of here today. Even if you really walk out of here, I swear that as long as I am alive, I will hunt you down for one day!"
Ignoring the King of Yan's threats, Xiao Jun said, seeing that the guards had gained the upper hand:
"My Lord, tell your men to stop!"
Seeing that Prince Yan remained silent, the guard exerted force on his hands, and a streak of blood instantly oozed out of Prince Yan's neck.
"stop!"
The Prince of Yan shouted loudly and far away. All the people who were fighting turned their heads to look over. When they saw that their own prince and princess were kidnapped, the guards stopped fighting. Seeing Xiao Jun standing there holding his master, Ouyang Di also waved his hand to signal everyone to stop and stood on both sides clearly.
When Xiao Jun saw this, he said to King Yan:
"Tell them to back off and take us away!"
…
Looking at Mengxi sitting on the bed in the inn, with the phoenix crown on her head long gone and still wearing the pink wedding dress, Xiao Jun felt angry. This wedding dress was not for him, but for King Yan. Thinking of how she was so happy to marry King Yan as a concubine without a trace of being forced, his heart ached. He had given everything for her, but as soon as she moved away, she got married before he even had the divorce letter in his arms!
The indifference of her drinking from the cup with King Yan flashed before his eyes. Unable to suppress the jealousy in his heart, Xiao Jun suddenly stood up, walked a few steps to the bed, looked directly into Meng Xi's eyes and said:
"Xi'er, for the past two years, I have always spoiled you, indulged you, and tolerated you, waiting for you to come back, hoping that one day you would see my sincerity! But you actually married without hesitation. Is it true that in this world, you can marry anyone except me? Are you really that cheap and hate me so much..."
Seeing Mengxi remained silent, Xiao Jun became more and more excited, and finally couldn't help but explode, saying angrily:
"You would rather marry the King of Yan than follow me, right? Well... If I can't have your heart, I'll have you as my body!"
After Xiao Jun finished speaking, he rushed forward and tore her wedding dress. He hated this wedding dress, it looked so dazzling, he wanted to tear it into pieces, destroy it... The pink flying all over the sky fell like rain. At some point, Mengxi stopped struggling and let Xiao Jun's kiss imprint on her body like a storm...
Suddenly, Xiao Jun lay motionless on one side.
"Miss, get up quickly, the Second Master is crazy..."
It turned out that it was the loyal Zhiqiu who knocked Xiao Jun unconscious.
Pushing Xiao Jun away, Zhiqiu struggled to help the almost naked Mengxi up. After looking around, he picked up a long gown of Xiao Jun on the chair, wrapped it around the young lady, and helped her out of the door. He ignored Xiao Xia and Xiao Ke who were standing outside the door in shock, and hurriedly left Xiao Jun's room. Zhiqiu said as he walked:
"Miss, let's quickly find Master Ouyang and leave this inn together to chase the prince. The Second Master brought a lot of guards with him. Once he wakes up, we won't be able to get out!"
"The King of Yan is looking for us everywhere. If we leave in a hurry without making a good plan, and then fall into the hands of the King of Yan, we may not be so lucky."
"But Second Master..."
Zhiqiu thought about it halfway through his words. It was really true that the Second Master had finally rescued the young lady, but he was so impulsive that he left her alone. Once he met the King of Yan, it would be too late to regret. Thinking of this, Zhiqiu changed his words and said:
"Miss, you are right. I am a little anxious when I see you being bullied. Miss, please go to my room and wash up first. I will go and call Master Ouyang later..."
This young lady is really troublesome. The Second Master loves her to the core. He gave up being the head of the family for her, swore for her that he would never take a concubine, almost rebelled against the Xiao family for her, and even offended the prince as a commoner to save her. Yet, in the blink of an eye, she ran away and got married.
Zhiqiu calmed down and looked at the remaining traces of makeup on the young lady's face. She remembered that Xiao Ke said that when they broke into the bridal chamber, the young lady was drinking the wedding wine with Prince Yan peacefully, and there was no sign of being coerced. She secretly complained that she should not have saved the young lady on such an impulse. It would have been better for him to let the Second Master take her and ask him to take responsibility. Perhaps the divorce letter would not be valid.
After all, he was the master, so even if he complained, he couldn't say it out loud. He helped the young lady back to his room and served her diligently.
"Second Master, you really don't know how to take things seriously. Young Miss is so delicate, yet you've made her bruises all over her body."
Seeing the bruises all over the young lady's body, Zhiqiu couldn't help but feel distressed again. He complained while using water to clean her body.
This girl is really troublesome, it is better to let Xiao Jun ask for her like this, she is willing to give it. Seeing Zhiqiu complaining, Mengxi glanced at her and said nothing.
Xiao Jun's rage began to make her panic and she fought back desperately, but gradually, she suddenly understood him and suddenly realized the painful love hidden behind his brutality. A warm feeling rose in her heart. He still loved her and had never given up.
At that moment, she stopped struggling and actually had a crazy idea. She wanted him, right at that moment, to want her. She wanted to be his woman. Even if they could not be together in this life, it was enough to have had him once.
Maybe, she could have his child.
She closed her eyes and didn't want to listen to Zhiqiu's complaints. She would not tell Zhiqiu that she liked these kiss marks because they were left by him. Even though they were rough, she didn't feel wronged.
…
After opening his eyes for a long time, Xiao Jun finally remembered what he had just done. He reached out and touched her, but she was gone. He sat up suddenly and saw Xiao Xia cleaning up the clothes scattered on the ground. He rubbed the back of his head with his hand and asked anxiously:
"Where's Xi'er?"
Hearing the voice, Xiao Xia looked up and saw that the Second Master had woken up. He quickly stopped what he was doing and replied:
"Second Master is awake. Second Master, Miss Li is in Zhiqiu's room."
Hearing that Mengxi did not leave the inn, Xiao Jun breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that she would take people away in a fit of rage. If she met King Yan again, he would never forgive himself even if he died.
Even though he was hurt badly by her, he still couldn't let her go. He still had a glimmer of hope, hoping that she would change her mind, look back and see that he was truly repentant, forgive him, and accept him.
"Second Master, this fell out of Miss Li's clothes, please take a look."
As Xiao Xia spoke, he handed the thing he picked up from the ground to the second master. Xiao Jun reached out to take it, and after a closer look, he found that they were two small pieces of silk, which turned out to be letters written to the Crown Prince and Li Du respectively with a tiny brush.
Looking at the four small words "Mengxi's last work" at the signature, Xiao Jun's hands trembled a little. The glass of wine in Mengxi's hand when he broke into the bridal chamber flashed before his eyes. She must have poisoned the wine. It turned out that she knew she could not resist Prince Yan's forced marriage, so she wanted to die with Prince Yan. If it was a step later, she would have drunk that glass of wine.
When Xiao Jun thought of this, he broke out in a cold sweat.
Thinking of the last separation, an unbearable impulse came over him. He jumped out of bed and ran to the door. When he opened the door, he saw Ouyang Di with a face full of anger. He was about to push the door open, but when he looked up and saw him coming out, his eyes shot out two cold rays, and he slowly drew out the sword from his waist...
…
Looking at Zhiqiu's newly bought maid Ying'er, who was busy cleaning the floor, Mengxi thought of Zhixia, whom she hadn't seen since she was rescued. She looked up at Zhiqiu who was wiping her hair and said:
"You are injured and haven't healed yet. Sit down and rest. I'll let Ying'er do all this."
"It's just a little skin breakage. The young lady's medicine is good. It will be healed in a few days. It's nothing serious. Ying'er is clumsy and I am worried about her."
"Where is Zhixia? Why haven't I seen her for a long time?"
Seeing Mengxi asking, Zhiqiu's eyes turned red and tears immediately overflowed. Seeing Zhiqiu like this in the mirror, Mengxi was shocked, turned around and grabbed Zhiqiu, and asked anxiously:
"What happened to Zhixia!"
"It's all my fault. When you were captured that day, I pulled you back, but Zhixia blocked a sword for me, hitting me right in the heart..."
"Zhixia is dead, it's true..."
Slowly letting go of Zhiqiu, Mengxi burst into tears. The four of them had followed her ever since she entered the Xiao Mansion. Although they were servants, Mengxi had no relatives in this world and had long regarded them as her own. They were gone just like that, and she couldn't believe it for a moment.
Seeing the young lady sad, Zhiqiu quickly stopped crying and began to persuade her:
"It's all my fault. I won't be so reckless in the future. Miss, now that things have come to this, please don't be too sad. Otherwise, Zhixia will not be at peace in her grave."
"Does her family know?"
"I have asked my brother to bring her family to Pingyang, and from now on, they will be treated as my biological parents."
"Zhixia often said that her only wish was to find a wife for her brother and let her mother live a comfortable life. We should not let her down..."
"Miss, rest assured, I will definitely help her realize her wish..."
Zhiqiu said this and lowered his head to wipe his hair again.
What she didn't dare say was that Zhixia's only wish before her death was to see a good ending for the young lady and the second master. Given the young lady's temper, do they still have a chance?
Can she help Zhixia achieve this wish?
