Chapter 167 What an injustice
Wen Ruqing was stunned for a moment. She blinked and asked in confusion, "Accept your fate, what fate do you accept? Dad, what do you mean by this?"
What does it mean to accept your fate? Why should she accept her fate?
It was true that she had lost her innocence, but if she killed them all, no one would know.
The Duke of Zhenguo walked over and looked at his daughter with some guilt.
He reached out and touched her head and said, "Marrying Shen Linchuan is your only way out now."
This sentence made Wen Ruqing's eyes widen in shock. She stared at her father in disbelief.
"You want your daughter to marry him? Dad, do you know what you are talking about?
He used despicable means to destroy my daughter's innocence. Instead of avenging me, you made me marry such a beast."
Wen Ruqing was unwilling to believe that these were words spoken by her father who had always loved her.
With tears streaming down her face, she looked at her father and asked, “What did he tell you?
I am your daughter, do you have the heart to push me into the fire pit?"
Faced with his daughter's questioning, the Duke of Zhenguo felt very distressed, but he was powerless and didn't know how to explain his compromise to his daughter?
"Why don't you say anything? What did Shen Linchuan say to you that you even wanted to betray your own daughter?"
Wen Ruqing should have thought of it earlier. Since Shen Linchuan could get close to the prince, he must be holding the prince's secret, and maybe not just the prince.
Even her own father was controlled by him, so her father, who had always loved her, was going to abandon her.
"enough."
Seeing his daughter keep asking questions, the Duke of Zhenguo suddenly burst out with suppressed emotions, and he said, "I want to ask you, why did you save him?
Isn't it you who caused all this?
Who is Shen Linchuan? He is a rat crossing the street and everyone wants to kill him. But you, on the other hand, placed him here without telling me.
At this point, you have no choice but to accept your fate.
If you don't want our Zhenguogong family to be wiped out, you can kill him to relieve your hatred!"
Wen Ruqing was shocked. If she killed Shen Linchuan, would the entire Zhenguo Mansion be destroyed?
She shook her head, tears of despair falling one by one.
The Duke of Zhenguo reached out to wipe the tears from her face, but Wen Ruqing dodged like a frightened bird.
She curled up in the corner, lowered her head and cried silently.
Was she wrong?
Why did things become like this?
She just wanted to get rid of Song Shiwei and marry her brother Heng.
The Duke of Zhenguo felt so distressed that he said, "Qing'er, don't be like this. Dad won't let you get married so soon. Maybe things can turn around. Don't let yourself get upset."
Wen Ruqing dug her nails deep into her flesh. She slowly raised her head and said in a cold voice, "Let Shen Linchuan come to see me."
The Duke of Zhenguo asked nervously, "What did you see him for?"
"Let him come to me."
Wen Ruqing roared, somewhat agitated.
"well."
The Duke of Zhenguo agreed to her request and then hurried out.
Soon Shen Linchuan came in, he was covered in blood and looked like a ghost from hell.
He stood in front of the bed and asked, "Why, your father can't kill me, so you want to do it yourself?"
Shen Linchuan handed her the golden hairpin in his hand and said, "Use this, it is very useful. I just used this hairpin to cut my sister's throat.
In just a moment, her life would be gone and she wouldn't feel any pain."
Wen Ruqing was extremely shocked. Shen Linchuan actually killed his own sister?
She looked at the golden hairpin he handed over, fear and murderous intent in her eyes.
After a moment, she snatched the golden hairpin and stabbed Shen Linchuan's shoulder hard.
Shen Linchuan didn't hide. He frowned and looked at Wen Ruqing and said, "Didn't I tell you to slit my throat? I won't die if you stab me here."
Wen Ruqing wanted to slit his throat, but her father’s words were still ringing in her ears.
Since even powerful people like my father and the prince were threatened by Shen Linchuan, the secret in his hands must be very important.
If he died, it might cause chaos.
But the anger in his heart needed to be vented. Even if Wen Ruqing couldn't kill him, he would make him feel the pain in his body.
She pulled out the hairpin and said, "I don't know what secrets you hold in your hand, and I am not interested in knowing. Don't you want to marry me? I only have one request."
Shen Linchuan covered his shoulder blade that was stabbed by her and said, "You haven't given up yet, have you?"
Wen Ruqing raised his head and gave him a fierce look: "I want you to kill Song Shiwei yourself and bring her head to me.
If you can't do it, I would rather die than let you succeed!"
Shen Linchuan clicked his tongue twice: "Do you hate her so much?"
Wen Ruqing narrowed her eyes and said in a cold voice, "You are not attracted to her and still have feelings for her, right?
She hurt you so much and yet you were unmoved. Are you still a man?"
"Isn't it clear to Miss Wen whether I am a man or not?"
There was a hint of danger in Shen Linchuan's tone. To him, such words were like his weak spot.
He snorted, "Don't provoke me. This will do you no good. You just want to kill Song Shiwei, right? Just wait!"
As he said this, he stretched out his hand and said, "Give me back the hairpin. This is my sister's favorite thing. It is a memory she left for me."
Wen Ruqing resisted the nausea and threw the hairpin over, cursing, "You are a lunatic."
Shen Linchuan picked up the hairpin and said with a smile: "I am a madman, you are a wicked woman, we are a perfect match!"
After leaving these words, he turned and walked out.
Wen Ruqing was very angry. He actually called her a villain!
She gritted her teeth and told herself to be patient. Since she couldn't kill Shen Linchuan, she would let him become the knife in her hand.
If it weren't for Song Shiwei, how could she have gotten involved with this man? All this was caused by Song Shiwei.
She must die.
Only if she died could he be relieved of the suffering he had endured.
The Duke of Zhenguo had been waiting outside. When he saw Shen Linchuan coming out holding his wound, he frowned.
Since you want to marry his daughter, then this is what he deserves.
Shen Linchuan looked pale and said weakly to the Duke of Zhenguo, "Miss Wen has agreed to marry me. Father-in-law, please take her back. I will go to see her after I recover from my injury."
The Duke of Zhenguo was extremely surprised that Qing'er actually agreed. Based on his understanding of his daughter, she would not compromise easily.
He asked, "What does she want you to do?"
Shen Linchuan sneered: "Father-in-law really knows nothing about his own daughter.
She was jealous of Song Shiwei and didn't want Song Shiwei to be with His Royal Highness Prince Ling.
Knowing that I was harmed by Song Shiwei, she saved me and planned to kill me with a borrowed knife.
After all, she ended up like this because of a man!"
The Duke of Zhenguo staggered when he heard this.
After Shen Linchuan walked away, he beat his chest in grief and muttered, "What an injustice!"
