Wei Wei's gaze fiercely fixed on him. The second time. This was already the second time that he cut off her plans.
When Lord Murong spoke, naturally everyone would listen.
This was the network of friends within the crowd of aristocrats.
When anything happened, it seemed as if the actual facts wasn't important at all.
Everyone in court, from top to bottom knew that she, Wei Wei, was to be Lord Murong Chang Feng's future consort.
Yet now, not only did he not support her, on the contrary, over time, he'd been sharpened into a sharp sword directly stabbing into her back from behind, killing her without reservation.
Everyone said that she wrapped herself around him, that she didn't deserve him, yet no one remembered who it was that originally repeatedly visited the Defense Division just so he could play together with her.
Actually, at that time, it was he who carried her to a hilltop and promised to give her a view of the most beautiful scenery.
Yet now, he'd let go and thrown her down the hill disregarding the blood flowing from her head.
For the sake of consolidating his own power, Murong Chang Feng chose to protect Jing Wu Wang, defend Helian Jiao Er, and abandon her...
Wei Wei felt a profound disdain and loathing.
However, Murong Chang Feng misunderstood and even thought that she was reminiscing, so his gaze softened somewhat.
Standing by the side, Jing Wu Wang knew that Murong Chang Feng was giving him a way out so he immediately responded. "Lord's right. I'm only a teacher of martial qi. How could I know what was punishable or not in this matter."
Having said that, he turned towards Baili Jia Jue. "How about we let Third Prince make the ruling."
Once Wei Wei heard this, she felt that everything was hopeless. People from the Imperial Family was best at feigning ignorance. In regards to a trivial matter like this, Third Prince would naturally stand on the side of Jing Wu Wang and the others, especially when the imperial consort he'd selected behind closed doors was on that side.
And those aristocratic young lads and ladies understood these rules the most. There also would be no one who would help by speaking up for her.
Upon careful examination, she was simply fighting on her own...
Wei Wei's thoughts hadn't fully taken shape, when she saw Baili Jia Jue jump down from the horse. His face wearing the silver mask, dressed in gorgeous and opulent clothes appeared exceptionally handsome, the dense eyebrows and eyelashes, deeply hidden black pupils bewitchingly caused people to be captivated...
Chapter 75 - Losing One’s Standing
"Have me make a ruling?" Baili Jia Jue looked at her as apathy streaked through his long and narrow devilish eyes. He appeared as if the matter was of no concern to him at all. "Then just let it be a capital offense."
Capital offense? Helian Wei Wei's hands clenched. What a great Third Prince, kicking a benefactor in the teeth like this!
All of those rabbit meat that she roasted within the Spirit Forest were, without exception, all fed to a dog after all!
Truly, he didn't have one bit of a conscience!
Wait a minute.
Wei Wei's eyebrows jumped. He said it was a capital offense, so why was he extending his hand?
He's not thinking that his hand was so good-looking that she would forgive him...
The light in Wei Wei's eyes radiated determination as she lifted her head and originally was going to give him a slap on the face, but her entire body fell into that man's pair of eyes which were as deep as an ancient well and as dark as black ink. That pair of eyes seemed to possess magic, as if they could suck her into them.
Wei Wei blanked out. Huh? Didn't he want to give her a death sentence? Why did he still want to take her by the arm before she died?
She thought that Third Prince knew how to conduct himself too well, giving her sweets to eat before having her face death's door, so as to properly have her not resent him when she arrived in hell!
Forget that she truly could still be a bit soft hearted like that...
However, he really underestimated her too much. Did he think that he could casually use his masculine charms to seduce her and she would just surrender?
Eunuch Sun was simply going insane because of this girl from the Helian family. He lowered his voice and anxiously urged her. "Miss Helian, Master is helping you, uh, shouldn't you hurry and take his hand. How much longer do you intend for him to stoop down!"
Wei Wei actually didn't think that Third Prince would help her. She extended her hand and placed it on top of his fingertips. The touch unexpectedly made her feel limp and numb.
As if avoiding the dirt on her hand, he only held her a short while before loosening his hand. On his upright yet evil handsome face was a gracefulness that wasn't touched by anything profane. One couldn't tell his state of mind from his picturesque appearance.
She discovered that she truly was unable to see through this Third Prince.
After that, she heard him say. "He is the academy's acting principal, yet he took the lead to entrap a loyal and righteous person from the younger generation. Naturally, this is a capital offense."
His voice wasn't loud, yet was so ice-cold that it seemed as if it could compress other people's throat.
Everybody could feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts. Their blood felt as if it was freezing. It was so quiet that they could hear the sound of their blood circulating...
It was so quiet that it's scary.
Even the air seemed to have stagnated.
Jing Wu Wang's face paled all at once. He stood there rigid from head to toe. A 'putt' sounded out when he kneeled on the ground!
Probably it's because that power was too great, so great that it made Helian Jiao Er also immediately shiver all over from the cold while perspiration drenched the handkerchief in the palm of her hand. As she watched Baili Jia Jue, her mouth opened to speak, yet she also didn't dare to speak.
Murong Chang Feng didn't anticipate that things would develop this way. A trace of astonishment clearly streaked across his face.
He never thought that the always single-mindedly apathetic Third Prince surprisingly would get involved in this matter. Furthermore, once he took control, he was so overwhelming.
Such that Murong Chang Feng, who wanted to refute him, entirely couldn't find a pretext for it.
"Entrapping a loyal and righteous person from the younger generation." With such a big net having been released, no matter how many people were involved, they would've all committed a capital offense!
Only Helian Mei wasn't able to properly perceive the mood.
Rather than say she couldn't perceive the mood.
Let's say instead that she just simply didn't believe that such a high and aloof third prince would extend his hand to help a good-for-nothing!
"Your Highness, did you say it incorrectly? How could the person who was sentenced with the death penalty be Jing Wu Wang!"
Helian Mei furiously pointed at Wei Wei. "Clearly, this girl was harboring unfathomable motives. She'd already saved the cat clan's prince and didn't say anything until the last minute in order to entrap the teacher!"
Once Helian Jiao Er heard these words, she knew 'damn it!' as she stepped forward and hurriedly berated. "Younger Sister, shut up!"
"Why should I shut up, Older Sister, look at this girl. Is she the same as she was before? Not at all! She's a downright crafty little snake. We only strayed a little yet she bit firmly without letting go. I also wonder where she's recently learned some methods to charm and deceive. Even His Highness who you like the most is..."
Slap!
Helian Jiao Er saw the surrounding people gradually show looks of comprehension and that man's eyes becoming as ice cold as a deep pool. Unable to stand it anymore, using the palm of her hand, she fiercely slapped Helian Mei on the face!
This slap didn't merely stun Helian Mei at that moment, even Wei Wei didn't expect it as she raised her eyebrows, following
which she stroked the white cat. The corners of her mouth hooked into a devilish smiling expression.
Helian Jiao Er's c.h.e.s.t moved up and down and seemed as if she was suppressing her anger.
She knew clearly what kind of man he was. The number of women he'd already rejected were innumerable. What a high and aloof person like him hated most was to have people set him up.
That's why for the past many years she'd always been silent before him. Even if she heard news having to do with him, she also only smiled demurely. So much so that when she learned about Third Prince choosing a consort, she didn't disclose her feelings to anyone at all.
She pretended that she didn't care much for him. Even when other girls from prestigious families asked her, she also suppressed her complacency and delight as much as possible.
But how about now? In but a moment, Helian Mei exposed all of the secrets within the depths of her heart in front of everyone!
She could almost imagine how those girls who normally had good relations with her and dragged her to talk about Third Prince must look at her now!
It's enough that her Third Sister was stupid on her own, but she had to also drag her down as well. How could this not make Helian Jiao Er angry!
"You hit me? Second Sister, you went so far as to hit me!" Helian Mei's shrieks were indescribably ear-piercing. As hot-tempered as she was, she glared and was going to pounce and grab Helian Jiao Er's hair. She couldn't accept being slapped on the face in front of so many people!
Helian Jiao Er perceived that she didn't know how to exercise restraint and became truly angry. She grabbed Helian Mei's wrist and said in a hushed voice. "You stop now. Helian Mei, do you intend for everybody to make a joke of us sisters? !"
"If they're making a joke then let them!" Helian Mei had been incited into a belly full of fiery anger. Helian Jiao Er didn't want people to know, but she instead was determined, either the fish dies or the net splits (she'd stake even her life). "In any case, from childhood until now, I've been nothing but a joke to you!"
Helian Jiao Er paused. "How could you think that?"
"Don't tell me otherwise. Isn't it so?" Helian Mei shouted loudly. Compared to her usual self, this was apparently even more reckless, completely unrestrained. She basically took her ugly side and totally exposed it to the world. "No matter what the misdeed, you prompted me to go do it. I was only your tool. Wherever you say to strike, I must strike there! And the result was that you gained a good name for yourself, but I haven't gained anything. Even Father loves you more! They should see properly that you're actually nothing!"
"Helian Mei!" Helian Jiao Er trembled all over and reprimanded with hushed tones. "What in the world is the matter with you today?"
Helian Mei coldly smiled. Her pair of eyes were red. "Me? I've only been awakened by the slap from your palm, you malicious whore!"
Everyone was stunned by this scene.
One ought to know that this pair of beautiful sisters ordinarily was well liked by everyone who'd seen them. The older one was sweet-tempered and beautiful. The younger one had a lively temperament. Even when they spoke they attracted people's affection.
But look at today, what was this? She was just like a street shrew, my God!
While everyone's mouths were opened wide in shock, only Baili Jia Jue glanced at Wei Wei beside him, his gaze was emotionless, cold and deeply hidden like an ancient well...
Chapter 76 - Kneel To Apologize
During that split second, Wei Wei thought that she was seen through.
However, after thinking about it again. Even if she was seen through, so what.
Her beautiful phoenix shaped eyes looked up, an appearance of a belly full of attitude.
This was the perfect opportunity to leave Third Prince with an impression of a 'malicious spoiled girl', and save herself the trouble of having the consort selection matter fall on her in the future, which wouldn't be good.
Consequently, Wei Wei patted the spirit beast on her shoulder and used a voice that only two people could hear to lightly laugh and say. "Little White did pretty well."
"I haven't actually done anything. I've merely borrowed her older sister's well-timed slap, and have her say what's in her heart out loud, that's all." The white cat disdainfully looked at the two people in front of him tangled in the fighting and stroked its whiskers in disgust.
Because of this, Wei Wei was able to kill two birds with one stone. When Baili Jia Jue heard those words, his eyes actually became more ponderous, so much so that the corners of his mouth perked up into a kind of an evil arc...
This made Eunuch Sun suspect for a time whether his own eyes were deceiving him.
Otherwise, why would his master treat a 'swarthy' girl so favorably?
This was a misperception, it must be a misperception!
And at this moment, the person who in the past appeared innocent and pure, Helian Jiao Er, already had her hair grabbed by Helian Mei. The pain transferred from her scalp was so painful, it almost made Helian Jiao Er unable to control her urge to swear and curse. She was utterly exasperated as she glared at Helian Mei. She knew that saying more wouldn't be any use, so she might as well gather the qi in her body. Once she exerted herself, Helian Mei was pushed over one meter away!
Murong Chang Feng's complexion became ashen. He didn't understand what the heck was going on. How could Helian Mei, who'd always listened to Helian Jiao Er, say these horrible things.
He remembered that when he visited the Defense Division, this pair of sisters clearly weren't this way.
Looking at the way they are now, compared to at that time, they're really as different as heaven and earth.
Could it be that this was their true nature?
Murong Chang Feng's body stiffened. Helian Jiao Er was still a bit better, however, she appeared more fierce than usual. That Helian Mei was just like a mad dog. If she was allowed to continue speaking like this, she might bring to light some other matter, but if he said something to protect them, it'd also be shameless.
Thump!
Helian Mei was fiercely thrown to the ground. One after another, the comments from people all around her entered her ears. She flung her head back and gradually was able to clear her head. Recalling those things that she'd said just earlier, her complexion immediately changed greatly.
Just now, it was like she was possessed, saying everything she shouldn't have said!
"No!" Helian Mei hugged her head and shrieked. "Who was it? Who entrapped me! I simply didn't want to say these things!"
It's done for. Everything had been ruined!
The look of despair was exposed on Helian Mei's face. Her throat was suffused with a bitter and sour taste. She simply didn't dare to look at the people all around her.
What's more even the young men from prestigious families were all standing here. Her conduct was so uncivilized just now, she was afraid she won't be able to get married in the future!
Upon seeing this, Helian Jiao Er also immediately teared up. As a pair of sisters, when had they ever cut such a sorry sight before. She didn't believe that this matter wasn't related to Wei Wei at all. She also knew that at times like this, she could no longer be fierce and must be softer in order to arouse people's sympathy.
That's why Helian Jiao Er disregarded their former hatred, held out her hands to hug Helian Mei, and turned around to face Murong Chang Feng's direction while she called gently. "Lord, Younger Sister must've been the victim of some demonic curse, that's why she went against her heart and spoke those kinds of things. Jiao Er begs Lord to allow us sisters to leave and rest first."
That Helian Mei becoming insane all of a sudden was also a good thing. Even though she also didn't want to see her own blood-related younger sister lose her reputation.
However, in this way, she's able to have a way out. Otherwise, Third Prince might have her and Jing Wu Wang dragged down together!
However, Wei Wei had never been someone who could suffer a loss and just let it go. She look
ed at Helian Jiao Er and spoke in a lukewarm voice. "Second Sister, you're just going to leave after having accused me wrongly, is that it?"
Helian Jiao Er's arm stiffened as her beautiful eyes reddened and tears dripped down as she glanced at Wei Wei.
Looking from a distance, people who didn't know what's going on would even think that she, instead, was the one who was wronged.
However, everybody already knew that the situation was not like that at all!
That's why her act at being pitiful this time simply wasn't useful.
Such that even Murong Chang Feng didn't speak out to help her again.
Helian Jiao Er knew that this time, she'd have to acknowledge her mistake and apologize. Maliciousness flashed through her eyes as her little face hung down slightly. She turned towards Wei Wei and curtsied following which her lower jaw clenched. "Older Sister, this time Younger Sister is wrong. I shouldn't have, without any investigation at all, wrongly accused you."
"It's good that you know your wrong." Wei Wei laughed. "What I'm afraid of is that up until now, Younger Sister's heart is still unconvinced or else why curtsy with an unreconciled heart and feel unwilling about it."
Helian Jiao Er tenaciously clutched her fingers as her back bent again and even both knees immediately bent and touched the ground while her face strained to prop up a shallow smile. "Is Older Sister satisfied now?"
"Whether I'm satisfied or not isn't important. What's important is you, Younger Sister." Wei Wei curved her thin lips and paused after each word. "Will you submit?"
She did it on purpose. She deliberately wanted to add an emphasis on the last three words!
Helian Jiao Er was so angry her entire face became twisted, yet she couldn't help but lower herself further and replied with a trembling jaw. "I submit."
After saying these two words, the handkerchief in Helian Jiao Er's hand absorbed layers of bloodstains.
