Wei An ran very fast. Everyone outside was stunned. But when they reacted, they all shouted anxiously: "Catch her! Catch her!"
Who else could appear in this long-abandoned palace? It must be the person they are looking for!
Even Master Xu San was inspired and personally chased in the direction of Wei An. It only took about a cup of tea and they caught the man in the east hall.
Master Xu San personally stepped forward and turned Wei An's body around. He recognized her at a glance and immediately sneered, "Princess Shouning, it's been a long time since we last met."
They had indeed not seen each other for a long time. They had met once when they were guests at Xu's house and had a standoff. Since then until now, they have not had much contact.
The last time they met, the Xu family was like her grandsons, humble and submissive in front of her, with almost no dignity, just to ask her to show mercy and make a big thing a small one, but Wei An did not agree at that time.
Not only did he not agree, but he also brought the Xu family into a miserable state. Master Xu was forced to return to his hometown and later died. Not to mention the eldest daughter of the Xu family, whose entire life was ruined.
All the misery of the Xu family was caused by Wei An.
In the past, she relied on the unreasonable old stubbornness of Mrs. Wei and Shen Chen who indulged her to do whatever she wanted, and she was so arrogant towards the Xu family.
No matter whether it was Old Lady Xu or Madam Xu, when they came to her one by one and begged her to show leniency, she rejected them with disdain, completely disregarding their age and Madam Xu's reputation.
When had the Xu family ever suffered such humiliation and injustice
Even Xu Anying had to condescend to negotiate a deal with this cheap woman, what right did he have? ! Xu Anying was the Minister of War, a close minister of the imperial court, a man who could shake the imperial court with just a stomp of his feet, but he had to beg for mercy from a junior, begging this junior to spare their Xu family, just to save his son. However, even after this old man humbled himself so much, she still refused to agree.
Master Xu San grabbed Wei An's hair with one hand and yanked her to the side, throwing her aside. He sneered and leaned over as if looking at a dog: "What's wrong, Princess Shouning? When you were in your glory days, you never thought that this day would come, right? When you kept chasing our family and refusing to let go, you never thought that this day would come, right? Now the retribution has come, doesn't it feel bad?"
Whenever a person is extremely oppressed, he or she will always show off his or her power through words when there is an opportunity for revenge, and he or she would like to torture others both mentally and physically.
Wei An felt that her scalp was numb with pain, which showed the anger in Master Xu San's heart. She tried to calm down and didn't cry or make a fuss. She just dodged Master Xu San's raised foot very lightly and looked up to ask him: "Master Xu San, does the prince know that you treat me like this?"
She couldn't admit defeat, nor could she just accept her fate. Shen Chen would definitely come to save her. No matter what time, Shen Chen would always be thinking about her.
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, she must deal well with Master Xu San and not show any fear or weakness.
Because when facing the person they want to retaliate against, the abuser always hopes to see his opponent kneeling down and begging for mercy and crying bitterly, but she just won't satisfy him, because maybe he will want her to beg for mercy, and this way they can delay the situation for a while.
Master Xu San was indeed enraged. He wanted to see Wei An kneeling down and begging for mercy after his hopes were dashed. Therefore, when he saw her asking this question arrogantly even after she had fallen to this point, he sneered and said disdainfully, "If the prince didn't know, then why did Shen Chen go to find Master Zhang by such a coincidence? The prince was already planning to force the emperor to abdicate. Couldn't he have told Shen Chen and asked him to hide outside for a while and then come back? He hasn't come back yet. Why do you think that is?"
He raised his leg and kicked Wei An hard, almost kicking him half a meter away. Seeing Wei An falling to the ground with his body huddled up, he felt extremely pleased. He looked at Wei An as if he was a stray dog: "Are you still counting on your in-laws? Are you dreaming? Who do you think you are?! Let me tell you, no one in the palace will care about you anymore, except Shen Chen. Unfortunately, Shen Chen is not here now, and you are nothing now... No one will come to save you..."
Wei An looked at him coldly, without showing any fear or terror that he expected to see. He just curled his lips in disdain: "Really? These are just one-sided words. I think you are lying to me. You just want to kill me to avenge your personal grudge. The prince must not know about this, right? You told me this just to make me scared and beg for mercy."
Women who are too smart and don't know how to be afraid are really not likable. It's not easy to make them collapse. Master Xu San was a little disappointed, and he couldn't help but become more irritable. He stretched out his hand and slapped Wei An hard: "You talk too much!"
Wei An was hit and turned her head away. She felt a burning pain on her face, but she felt more relieved. No matter what, Master Xu San was indeed coming for her. Whether he did it intentionally or unintentionally, he did not ask about the whereabouts of the Sixth Prince. In this way, at least the Sixth Prince was safe. With the wet nurse holding the child, there was finally a greater hope of being rescued.
So she sat down at the side slowly, tidied her hair, and then snorted: "It seems that I guessed right, Master Xu San, you treat me like this now, have you ever thought about how to explain to Shen Chen in the future? Have you ever thought that the Xu family may have to pay the price for this matter? Although you may have done it without leaving any traces, have you ever thought that Shen Chen is not a person who cares too much about these rules? If he is willing, even with the help of King Linjiang, you will still be retaliated by Shen Chen because of this matter."
"Are you threatening me?!" Master Xu San kicked her down again, raised his foot and pressed it on her face. He sneered and said ferociously, "What's the point of saying these things? What's the use of your sharp tongue? You are in my hands now, aren't you? I can crush you to death like an ant. As for Shen Chen? Oh, when he comes back, everything will be settled. Our Xu family has made great contributions. Even the prince will have to reward us. How could he come to deal with us because of you and chill the hearts of the meritorious officials?!"
He still has this confidence. Doesn't he know what King Linjiang is thinking? (To be continued)
