Chapter 163 Poison Scheme
Outside.
The prince came here in the night. He glanced at the closed door and asked Shen Linchuan who was standing in front of it: "How is it?"
"Your Highness, you can rest assured that I will do my job."
Shen Linchuan smiled slightly, then extended his hand to invite: "Your Highness, please come first!"
The prince narrowed his eyes, cast a scrutinizing gaze on Shen Linchuan and asked, "Don't you mind?"
Shen Linchuan shrugged and said in a calm voice, "Your Highness, you should know what Song Shiwei accused me of in front of the emperor, right? Everything she said is true.
I have my eyes on the wealth of the Cheng En Bo family, and would like to take advantage of my father's life-saving grace to marry Cheng En Bo's daughter, Song Mingzhu.
But this old man couldn't bear to part with his precious daughter, so he married Song Shiwei, who he had raised in the countryside, to me.
At that time, I was under the coercion of Zhao Huaijin. I hated the relationship between men and women but was afraid of neglecting the bride on the wedding night, so I planned to let my eldest brother do it instead.
It's just that Song Shiwei was lucky and somehow didn't fall for the trick, which caused unrest in our Shen family and eventually led to this situation."
The prince couldn't help being shocked when he heard his words. Even if he didn't like her, since she had married him, she would be his wife.
But Shen Linchuan was willing to give his wife away, which shows that women are almost like playthings to him. It seems that this man is really extremely cruel and ruthless.
Shen Linchuan knew what the prince was thinking, but he didn't care.
He said: "Miss Wen was originally your fiancée, so it is only right that you get her first.
Your Highness, rest assured that apart from you and me, no one else knows about this."
After hearing what he said, the prince no longer had any concerns. Although he did not like Wen Ruqing, she had been his future crown princess for so many years.
He was somewhat unwilling to just hand her over to Shen Linchuan.
But if I can get her first, then there will be no regrets.
"You are very knowledgeable."
The prince praised Shen Linchuan, then stretched out his hand to push open the door and told him: "Stay here."
"Yes."
Shen Linchuan responded, and after the door closed, he stood aside.
The night is as dark as ink, without any stars or moon.
Soon, a woman's scream of pain was heard from the room, accompanied by some intense noises. Shen Linchuan stood there calmly.
Until the sound stops.
Soon the prince came out dressed. He seemed a little dissatisfied and said, "It's so boring. Not as good as your sister."
Because Wen Ruqing was in a coma and could neither move nor shout, it inevitably lost some of the fun. He lost interest and ended the activity hastily.
Shen Linchuan said: "If Your Highness has any intention in the future, I can send her to Your Highness's couch at any time for your amusement."
"Ah."
The prince chuckled, patted Shen Linchuan on the shoulder and said, "You should think about how to get past the Duke of Zhenguo. If he wants to kill you, I can't stop him."
Shen Linchuan was indeed worried that the Duke of Zhenguo would be difficult to deal with, but fortunately he had bargaining chips in his hand, so he would not lose out even if he failed.
It was a good deal for him to get the daughter of the high and mighty Duke Zhenguo.
"I'm willing to give it a try."
Shen Linchuan replied with a smile.
Seeing that he was so persistent, the prince said nothing more. He said, "I will go and see your sister. You can enjoy yourself."
After watching the prince go away, Shen Linchuan withdrew his gaze and entered the room, only to see torn clothes lying on the floor.
Wen Ruqing was still sleeping on the bed, but his brows were knitted together, as if he was not feeling well, and his body was covered with bruises.
He sat on the edge of the couch, staring at Wen Ruqing's face, with a hint of mockery in his eyes: "So what if you are a high-ranking young lady?"
Now it has fallen into his hands.
In his opinion, Wen Ruqing and Song Mingzhu were both bad people.
One is spoiled and willful, the other is overbearing, they never look others in the eye and have vicious hearts.
They brought this upon themselves.
Shen Linchuan's eyes flashed and he immediately lifted the quilt and approached. Then he heard Wen Ruqing whispering, "Brother Heng."
Shen Linchuan's face turned cold when he called him Brother Heng.
Whether it's Song Mingzhu or Wen Ruqing, they are all thinking about other men.
But so what, he was the one who got them in the end.
Shen Linchuan!
……
Wen Ruqing had a dream. She dreamed of Xiao Jingheng, but he was not gentle in the dream and made her feel pain all over.
The pain was still there when she opened her eyes. She frowned and tried to sit up, but found a man's arm across her waist.
She was horrified.
However, before she could react, the man behind her stretched out his arms and held her in his arms, and said in a deep voice in her ear: "Wake up."
This voice belongs to Shen Linchuan!
Wen Ruqing was shocked. She turned around hurriedly and met a pair of smiling eyes.
She herself was naked, and her whole body felt as if it was about to fall apart.
Her head buzzed and she stood there in shock.
The dream she had last night was not a romantic one, and the person in the dream was not Xiao Jingheng, whom she had been thinking about, but Shen Linchuan.
How could this be?
How is this going?
Wen Ruqing remembered that she lost consciousness after drinking a cup of tea brought by Shen Linchuan last night, so...
She stared at Shen Linchuan with wide eyes and horror, "How dare you plot against me?"
Shen Linchuan raised his eyebrows: "Miss, what do you mean? It's obviously you who wanted revenge because the prince had a secret meeting with my sister, and you threw yourself into my arms."
"You bullshit!"
Wen Ruqing flew into a rage and rushed towards Shen Linchuan, saying viciously: "I'm going to kill you."
She had only one thought in her mind, to kill the man who had ruined her innocence so that no one would know.
But she was no match for Shen Linchuan. Shen Linchuan held her arm and easily pressed her down on the couch.
There was a hint of evil in his eyes. He looked at Wen Ruqing's face which was twisted and ugly because of anger and said, "You seduced me last night and kept calling me Brother Heng. Have you forgotten?"
Wen Ruqing said angrily: "You are despicable and tampered with the tea. You bastard, do you know who I am? Who gave your dog the courage to do this?"
Shen Linchuan leaned over to her ear and said, "Of course it was you, Miss Wen, who gave me the courage.
As the saying goes, a life-saving favor should be repaid with one's own body. Miss Wen saved me, and I am willing to marry you as a reward."
"You're dreaming. You want to marry me? If you have the guts, kill me. Otherwise, I will make sure you die a miserable death."
Wen Ruqing cursed and was a little emotionally broken.
"It would be worth it for me to die if I could have you, young lady. You were not very clear-headed last night, and I guess you didn't feel it well.
Now I will let you experience for yourself what it means to live a life of drunkenness and dreamlessness."
As he said this, he blocked her mouth.
Wen Ruqing struggled constantly, but the more she struggled, the more excited Shen Linchuan became.
Gradually her voice turned into a cry and the curses at the beginning turned into a plea for mercy.
However, no matter how much she cried, it was of no use.
She was like a broken puppet, being manipulated at will.
After an unknown amount of time, the door was suddenly opened.
