Chapter 36: His Heart Sank
Yun Ruoyue was sick at heart after seeing Chu Xuanchen angry with her without knowing the truth, she pointed at the table, “Look at that, she gave me rotten food and rancid rice, she even hit Feng’er, hence, it serves her right!”
“Your Highness, what she just had said was not true, don’t listen to her. I’m being considerate and worried she will get hungry, so I asked the kitchen to prepare the food as a kind gesture. What she said is totally slandering against me, and I didn’t hit Feng’er.” After she spoke, she immediately slid into his embrace and her eyes overflowed with tears.
“Rou’er, don’t be afraid, you have me here.” While Chu Xuanchen coaxed her and at the same time, his fingers brushed away the rice that stuck on her face.
After he had done clearing her face, he shifted his gaze and shot his cold glance at Yun Ruoyue while instructing Old Maidservant Zhang, “Servants, come. Take the princess consort away and lock her up. Later, this prince will personally punish her!”
“Yes, Your Highness.” Old Maidservant Zhang bowed and accepted the orders, her eyes directed at the maidservant standing beside then darted at the food placed on the table, signalling her to throw it away immediately. Quickly afterwards, the maidservants cleared away the table, took all the dishes outside and got rid of it in no time.
Nangong Rou had noticed the little gestures exchanged between the maidservants, instantly wreathed a satisfying smile on her face for a split second before returning to her frowned expression and crying loudly in Chu Xuanchen’s arms.
When Yun Ruoyue saw the maidservants coming forward to grab her arms, she suddenly raised her voice to scold him, “Chu Xuanchen, don’t you have eyes to see? Or is it because you have a crooked heart? She was clearly fed me with rotten food, didn’t you see it? You are just blindly accepting her!”
Before Chu Xuanchen could reply, Nangong Rou quickly rebuked, “Big sister, I do not mind you declining my kind gesture, but why must you slander me? You are stretching too far this time.” Her tone was angry and aggrieved, after she spoke, she turned around to lean on Chu Xuanchen’s broad chest to seek for his comfort.
Chu Xuanchen revealed his solemn look as his cold dangerous eyes still remained on Yun Ruoyue. “Obstinate temper you are, despite the fact that death is awaiting for you, Old Maidservant Zhang, she doesn’t like to eat, then don’t let her eat, and don’t spare her even a drop of water!”
After Chu Xuanchen’s deep and low voice left his lips, he swooped up Nangong Rou into his arms, and carried her back to Gentle Rain Pavilion.
Gentle Rain Pavilion
At the Gentle Rain Pavilion, a woman’s soft and brittle voice sounded, “Your Highness, I’m so sorry, all I wanted is to live in harmony with big sister, but she loathed me so much, in the future, how am I supposed to continue to stay in this house?”
“This prince had said it and you have my words, you are the mistress of this house. I shall leave everything in this house to you, just play your role accordingly and decide as you deem appropriate.” His woman doesn’t need to be the one ingratiate herself with Yun Ruoyue.
The one who should be ingratiating herself should be Yun Ruoyue instead.
“Thank you, Your Highness.” Nangong Rou was delighted in her heart and showed a charming smile on her face, she stared deeply into his eyes.
Yun Ruoyue does know exactly where to prick her, turning her into a laughingstock. Well, let’s see who gets the last laugh because Nangong Rou has decided to make a move on Chu Xuanchen and consummate their marriage tonight.
Her large eyes sparkled with a coquettish grin on her face, she inquired, “Chen, can you sleep here tonight?”
Chu Xuanchen pondered for a moment and then gave her a nod, “Yes, alright.”
“Really? That is too good. You wait for me here and I’m going to take a bath.” After she finished her words, she turned around and walked to the bathroom.
Upon seeing Nangong Rou had left, Chu Xuanchen’s expression changed, he raised his hand; he stared with brooding eyes at the piece of rice sitting on his palm, then all of a sudden, his heart sank.
At first glance, he already knew the food was spoiled. The rice is sticky and soft with a funky sour smell.
The manor’s kitchen always kept the highest standard in food preparations and had never made any mistakes.
He lifted his eyes and stared at her departing figure with a pensive expression. When this thought crossed his mind, Chu Xuanchen’s fingers involuntarily trembled, because he was unwilling to accept this was the truth, that she was not the same as what he saw as in an appearance.
Even if this was the case, he wouldn’t feel a slight pity on Yun Ruoyue because she doesn’t deserve it. Please read original from (https://cloudmanor.wordpress.com/prince-consort-index/)
After thirty minutes passed, Nangong Rou had her bath, changed into a flimsy nightgown, and she walked closer to him at the bed.
“Chen, I’m done with my bath.” Nangong Rou’s low and sensuous voice escaped from her lips with an alluring smile on her face.
