Under this whole wide world, with the exception of the Emperor himself, Zhu WuXin most the only who would dare to act out in front of the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince was enraged, “Zhu WuXin, Benwang 1 wants you to apologize to your sister right away!”
“For what reason?”
Zhu WuXin used a type of gaze he was not familiar with to look at him.
“She acted out a play with her self-mutilation, for what reason must I act together with you?”
“Such a minor bruises injury can get you so agitated like this? If your compassionate spirits are over-flowing, then need to trouble you to head out to the West Gate. There are enough people there to calm down your compassion.”
“Presumptuous!”
Raising his hand, with a ‘pa’ sound, the Crown Prince fiercely slapped at Zhu WuXin’s face.
At this moment, Zhu WuXin felt very sorrowful.
But when she tried her best to blend into this place, when she thought she finally made a friend with much efforts, she found out that these friendships can really dishearten one’s heart.
No one there to accept her, no one there to believe in her.
“Ha ha ha ha…..”
Zhu WuXin suddenly burst into laughter.
Raising her head, she looked up to the Crown Prince, “Ning YeLan, let me tell you.”
Then she pointed at Zhu JiLan, “Her injuries was done by me. So, what can you do to me?”
“I just want to bully her, torture her. I’m happy, what can you do?”
“She bullied me since I was young until now, you thought those are minor stuff? I am using your favor on me to exact revenge, can’t I?”
“I am a person with vicious heart. In front of you, and getting along with you plus all the words I said to you are just to get your protection and trust.”
“I am just using you right from the start, so that I can take my revenge against everyone in Zhu House, can’t I?”
“Back at that time, no one forced you to save me. No one forced you to treat me well. You did that willingly yourself, why are you getting enraged for?
“ZHU.WU.XIN!”
Being angered until his body started trembling, the Crown Prince gnashed his teeth and yelled at her.
Even JiLan was shocked by her words and didn’t manage to react for a long while.
“Xiao Lian, escort the guest out!”
After barking out that order, Zhu WuXin didn’t spare them even a glance and turned around to slam her door with force.
As she calmed down, she found out that her eyes were actually wet with tears.
She was not afraid of hardship, not afraid of being tired, not afraid of being bullied nor getting injured.
What she was afraid was being disappointed by the people she cared.
