Villain Lady Chapter 85

Advertisement

Wei Liuying still kept her composure as if what Ji Shu said didn't have any relation with her whatsoever. Her expression didn't change in the slightest bit and only showed the same uncomfortable expression that many other young masters did.

Ji Shu swept his gaze on the hall. He was also feeling annoyed when he didn't spot anyone acting out of ordinary. Was his threat not enough?

"Since it's just some problems of misfire, I'll return back to my post," Ji Sheng said, interrupting Ji Shu's train of thoughts.

"In that case, I won't see you off, Imperial Third Brother."

"I'll see you later, Imperial Fourth Brother."

Behind Ji Sheng, Yang Xian was keeping his head low as if he was trying hard to make his presence unknown. Even though everyone had heard the servants announced that Strategist Yang came, they didn't pay attention to him. The two princes were shining so brightly as if they were the stars.

Ji Sheng passed one last cold look to Ji Shu before he left. As for the others, they stayed still in their places.

Ji Shu swept his gazes on the crowd. He showed off a dark look as if telling them that if they dared to cross him, their fates would be worse than those officials. This time, no one dared to say anything as they kept their head lowered and looked away from Ji Shu.

After a few breaths' time that seemed like the eternity, Prince Ji Shu left the place. They all finally heaved a sigh of relief and only some officials were still weeping for their losses. With Ji Shu's cruel personality and the smell of blood that he emanated when he came, it was clear that he personally did what he said just now.

"Go and rest," Wei Hong said slowly.

Wei Liuying looked at Wei Yijun, whose face was also pale. The two of them politely bowed. "Yes, Father."

They silently left the hall along with many other young nobles who were trying hard to not puke. They were feeling unwell because of the meeting with Ji Shu just now. All they wanted was simply to return back and have a long and good rest before they continued to feel unwell.

"I'll be going this way, First Brother."

"Take care."

Wei Yijun barely paid any attention to what Wei Liuying said. Even though many of them were already used to hear about Ji Shu's cruelty, this was their first time seeing him make his move right on the spot. Death seemed to be so near them for the first time in their lives.

Their breathing turned erratic and their pupil dilated. They were afraid, afraid that whatever they did, they would only end up courting their death and tortured mercilessly by the vengeful prince.

Wei Liuying was keeping her composure and walked to her room. She glanced to the back when she had arrived at the door frame. "Find out the names of the young men who were tortured by Prince Ji Shu."

Huo was startled with the order, but he bowed and quickly disappeared into the night. His movement was swift and fast while Wei Liuying entered the room. She took a bath and changed her robe to that of black.

Not long afterwards, Huo returned with a list of names in a bamboo stick. Wei Liuying took it and read the names.

'Gao Huang, the third son of Seventh Rank Official Gao. He's known to be a famous womanizer in Han Shi Kingdom….'

'He Su, the fourth son of Sixth Rank Official He. He's the most pampered son because he's from his favorite concubines and even before reaching the adulthood, he had already taken some concubines….'

'Yao Fang, the second on of Ninth Rank Official Yao. He was still young and loved to play around. Just recently he visited a brothel and got beaten up by his father…'

The more Wei Liuying read, the more serene her face was. She had guessed as much when she heard that there were several men who appeared so quickly when the ladies were screaming. The location for men and women were separated and the forest area around the ladies' garden was tightly guarded with only a few of them could possibly come there.

Normally, no one would be able to enter there without permission.

She was sure that these young masters all bribed the guards to let them take a sneak peek to the ladies. When they came out, these unmarried ladies would be wearing veil. If they wished to see their faces directly, they either should wait until they were married or Lantern Festival when the ladies would sneak out to celebrate the New Year.

It required great luck.

So the only option left was for them to sneak in.

And without them knowing, their action of peeking this time resulted in their end.

As she looked at the names, she realized that the guard who took the bribe was also included in the list. It seemed that Ji Shu moved efficiently to torture those pests who tried to take a look at his beautiful fiancée. The question left would be whether he would be leaving them alive or kill them in the end?

Wei Liuying didn't know.

He's truly possessive.

Wei Liuying sighed and put the name list away. She prayed silently for those young masters. Even though those young masters did dig their own graves, normally they wouldn't have to die if they were not found out.

Which she highly doubted.

Since she had hastened their retribution for peeking, all she could do was to offer them a prayer and lit a candle. Unfortunately, there was no suitable candle in this room, so she just silently lit it inside her mind.

She couldn't change the past and even if she could, she knew that she would do the same thing. There were only limited actions that she could do against Wei Xiao Hua and the limited freedom that she has today would end in mere three days.

When she returned back, she would be back to the third young miss of Wei Family whose life was tightly guarded in the residence. There was nothing that she could do outside of the surveillance that the family provided.

'I wish you'll be well.'

Wei Liuying said slowly inside her mind. She was about to go and rest when she heard faint rustling.

Swish!

Turning around, she could see a young man had sneaked into her room from the window. He was looking at her with his dark eyes as he smiled devilishly. There was some weird vibe that he seemed to emanate when he looked in her direction.

"It's you, isn't it?"
