Chapter 366 Dawn Has Not Yet Arrived
The Yun family was enjoying a harmonious time, but inside the Yong Prince's mansion, this morning, basin after basin of bloody water was carried out from Yilan Courtyard, a shocking sight.
The two maids who served Su Qingchan couldn't help but feel a little pity for her when they saw her like this.
After the doctor left, only the unconscious Su Qingchan and the two maids remained in the room. They couldn't help but exchange a glance.
The pretty maidservant's eyes were filled with panic and unease. She lowered her voice and asked cautiously, "What exactly happened at Yilan Courtyard last night?"
The other one, slightly older and more composed, immediately changed his expression upon hearing this and said in a low voice, "Shut up, these are none of our business!"
The maidservant shrank back in fear and dared not utter another word.
Her gaze unconsciously fell on Su Qingchan, who was lying on the bed with a face as pale as paper, and her mind uncontrollably drifted back to last night.
There were only two maids serving Yilan Courtyard. Last night, the prince got drunk and staggered here. He then sent them both to the courtyard gate.
The courtyard gate was some distance from the main house, but even so, she could still faintly hear the woman's painful cries last night...
yesterday.
Emperor Wenjing's words temporarily calmed the surging violence in Prince Yong's heart.
He stayed quietly between the Ministry of Works, the Imperial Palace, and the Prince's Mansion, and for a period of time did not set foot anywhere else. He also did not send anyone to keep an eye on the Yun family's movements, as if he had already decided to give up on making things difficult for Yun Shang and Yu Wan.
Shengjing enjoyed a period of peace.
However, on the day of Yu Wan and Yun Shang's wedding, when Prince Yong saw the bright red wedding procession and thought of Yu Wan in her wedding dress in the bridal sedan chair, the violent anger he had forcibly suppressed surged up again.
A woman like Yu Wan was a novelty to him.
Although he has a particular fondness for young pregnant women, he would accept Yu Wan even if she was not pregnant.
Ever since he took a liking to Yu Wan, he had imagined countless times the scene of Yu Wan having her fangs pulled out little by little, being tamed by him, being pinned down by him, and desperately begging for mercy from her.
But time and again, he fell victim to that bitch Yu Wan!
The more this happened, the more he wanted to get his hands on Yu Wan!
The wedding banquet at the Yun residence was extremely lively, and Prince Yong also held a grand banquet at his residence, drinking and reveling all day long.
As night fell and the guests departed, he carried a wine jug and stared in a sinister direction.
The Yun residence and the Yong Prince's residence are only two streets apart. Even from his courtyard, he could clearly hear the lively and festive sounds coming from the Yun residence.
Prince Yong took another swig of wine, then suddenly slammed the wine pot in his hand to the ground. The pot shattered instantly, and the wine splashed everywhere.
Where is Su Qingchan?
The servant boy, startled by the sudden sound of the wine pot shattering, trembled even more upon hearing the Prince Yong's question and hurriedly replied, "Your Highness, Miss Su is in Yilan Courtyard."
A ruthless glint flashed in Prince Yong's eyes as he staggered to his feet. "Go to Yilan Courtyard!"
The servant nervously supported the Prince Yong, who reeked of alcohol. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the Prince's sinister gaze and felt a chill run down his spine.
That one at Yilan Courtyard, tonight she's probably...
They soon arrived at Yilan Courtyard.
The maids in the courtyard were somewhat puzzled when they saw Prince Yong come at night.
They stepped forward and bowed, saying, "This humble servant greets Your Majesty—"
Before the two maids could finish speaking, Prince Yong raised his hand with a gloomy expression and said, "Both of you, step back. No matter what noise you hear at night, do not approach."
Upon hearing this, both maids' expressions changed.
Prince Yong didn't even glance at them, and walked straight into the main room.
Inside the room, Su Qingchan was taking off her makeup and hair, preparing to rest.
She's in a good mood today.
Although she felt like a caged animal after entering the Prince Yong's mansion, losing her freedom, she still managed to send her carefully prepared gift to the Duke of Anguo's mansion today, on the occasion of her sister Yu's wedding.
She made that silver hairpin herself.
The workmanship is rough, but every stroke and line contains her blessings for Yu Wan.
After openly admitting that she had feelings for Yun Shang, and that Yu Wan did not dislike her, she felt completely at ease.
She and the Su family both owe Yu Wan a great deal.
Perhaps she will never have the chance to repay him in this lifetime. The only thing she can do is to pray in her heart that Yu Wan and Yun Shang will love each other for a lifetime and never be separated.
Su Qingchan was lost in her own thoughts and did not notice that Prince Yong had already entered.
Until she looked up, she suddenly saw a hideous and distorted face in the bronze mirror, like a demon.
Su Qingchan's heart skipped a beat, and she almost cried out in surprise.
When she realized that the person behind her was Prince Yong, she forcefully suppressed her fear.
She is now deeply in love with Prince Yong and has unwavering faith in him. How could she possibly fear or despise him?
Su Qingchan quickly concealed all her emotions, a smile playing on her lips, and prepared to turn around.
But at that moment, Prince Yong reached out and grabbed her hair with his large hand!
Su Qingchan winced in pain, letting out a short, muffled groan, her smile instantly replaced by agony.
Her hands instinctively reached for the Prince Yong's hand, trying to break free from the excruciating pain.
"Your Highness, what are you doing?"
Su Qingchan asked, her voice trembling.
She tried her best to suppress the fear and hatred in her heart, raised her eyes, and looked at Prince Yong with an innocent and blank expression, "But...but what did Chan'er do to make Your Highness unhappy?"
Prince Yong looked at her eyes, which were still full of affection, and a sudden surge of pleasure welled up in his heart.
This fool was completely unaware that he was manipulating her, and even fell deeply in love with him.
Prince Yong did not answer her, but stared at her for a long time, without loosening his grip on her hand.
Su Qingchan was crying pitifully.
Looking at the tear stains on her face, the Prince of Yong felt his violent temper become even more uncontrollable.
He suddenly flung Su Qingchan hard, throwing her onto the bed.
Su Qingchan fell onto the bed with a thud.
Her knees and elbows slammed heavily against the edge of the bed, the pain making her vision go black for a moment.
She almost couldn't contain the hatred in her eyes.
Su Qingchan endured the excruciating pain and slowly got up. She grabbed the hem of Prince Yong's robe and said with a tearful smile, "It must be that Chan'er did something wrong and angered Your Highness. It's all Chan'er's fault. No matter how Your Highness punishes Chan'er, Chan'er will have no complaints..."
She paused, her eyes filled with love, "I only beg... I only beg Your Highness not to abandon Chan'er..."
Since entering the Prince's residence, Prince Yong has been very attentive to her, as if he truly cherishes her dearly.
But Su Qingchan clearly saw the disgusting, maggot-like interior hidden beneath his hypocritical facade.
She entered the Prince Yong's residence to gather evidence of his crimes.
And she herself is the best witness.
If she were alive, she could appeal in person; even if she were dead, her corpse could speak.
Su Qingchan's appearance greatly pleased Prince Yong.
What he loved most was the way women fawned over him.
This gave him immense satisfaction.
Prince Yong reached out, his fingers gripping Su Qingchan's chin like iron clamps, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement, "Are you really willing for me to punish you as I please?"
Su Qingchan moved her knees forward, closer to Prince Yong, her eyes filled with love as if she were bewitched: "I'm willing, Chan'er is willing..."
