Shen Ruxu's chest heaved violently as she angrily scolded, “You, Liu Chang... How dare you threaten me!”
Liu Chang laughed mockingly, “I've had my eyes on you for more than just one or two days. You only let me look but not touch. I'm furious that you're taking all the benefits for yourself. Shouldn't I get something back from your body? Otherwise, you'll eventually gain the Prince's favor and forget about me after taking advantage of my efforts.”
“Didn't I already promise you?”
“But I haven't seen anything. Things I can't see are fake.”
Shen Ruxu panicked, “What do you want from me then?”
Liu Chang stood up, smiling as he approached Shen Ruxu.
The bed was just behind Shen Ruxu. She took steps back until the man forced her to fall sitting on the bed.
Shen Ruxu never imagined that the usually obedient and honest-looking Liu Chang would have such intentions.
She only thought of using him, then dismissing him with a few words.
But she didn't expect that after this man came back from killing someone, it was as if he had become enlightened and actually dared to bargain with her!
"You... don't overstep your boundaries... I already promised you, didn't I? I definitely won't go back on my word... It's just not possible right now. The camp is strictly investigating at the moment. If we do this and get caught, the Prince definitely won't let you or me off." Shen Ruxu made a final struggle.
Liu Chang didn't believe Shen Ruxu's flattering words at all. "I don't care what you say. It's almost dark now. Why can't we do it? I’ll be gentle later and won’t make you suffer. But don’t scream, or I won’t be responsible if someone comes.”
"Liu Chang!" Shen Ruxu really regretted it profoundly. She gritted her teeth and refused him with her entire body, but didn’t dare scream or anger Liu Chang. "No, we really can't. I promise you that in a few days I’ll... Isn’t that okay? You can rest assured that I keep my promises... I definitely won’t go back on anything I say...”
Liu Chang didn’t care whether she struggled or not. His rough, big hands gripped her delicate wrists and pulled her towards him. Without waiting for her reaction, he decisively slapped her cheek.
"Uh..." Shen Ruxu's eyebrows wrinkled in pain as she softly moaned.
She was clearly stunned by this crude man.
"I don’t care about your excuses. You’ve seduced me several times already. I know what you’re thinking. Tonight, I must make you know how capable I am."
"You dare! I'm someone the Prince values."
"The Prince only values your medical skills, not you." Don't struggle anymore, it's useless."
Shen Ruxu stared at him incredulously, unable to help gasping. She didn't expect that trying to frame Yin Lan would bring such disastrous consequences onto herself.
Now being firmly controlled by this rough and ugly man, her body soon felt like it was falling apart, hurting badly.
With tear-filled eyes, she stared blankly at the tent ceiling, sobbing softly and cursing fragmentedly, "Let go... Don't... Liu Chang, damn you! Aren't you afraid that this will be exposed and the mistress will make you pay?"
Liu Chang breathed heavily, glaring fiercely at Shen Ruxu's flushed face. "What do I have to be afraid of? At worst, I’ll die. To obtain you tonight and die under the peony flower, even as a ghost I’d still be romantic."
After speaking, he lowered his head to forcefully cover Shen Ruxu's lips with his mouth.
An indescribable stench rushed over.
Shen Ruxu almost vomited directly. She whimpered, frowning painfully and disgustedly...
Liu Chang's body was hard and smelly... How could it compare to even one of the Prince's fingers?
But now the situation was irreversible. She had indeed been harmed by Liu Chang. From now on, there was no room left for this to turn around...
For the plan now, she could only imagine the ugly Liu Chang as the Prince...
She closed her eyes and thought this way...
In the dim tent, she couldn't see Liu Chang's face clearly at all...
She raised her head and stretched out both arms to embrace Liu Chang's neck, pretending the Prince was by her side, caressing her cheek and kissing her neck.
The more she hypnotized herself this way, the more she wanted to indulge...
But at that moment, there were suddenly sounds of footsteps outside the tent.
Shen Ruxu was too deeply immersed in her fantasy and didn't hear the movement outside at all.
By the time she realized it, the tent curtain had been opened wide. Outside stood dozens of people, some holding torches, some holding candles, and a woman with an extremely beautiful appearance standing at the very front, looking calmly at her and Liu Chang’s entwined bodies.
Shen Ruxu’s misty, blushing eyes suddenly regained clarity.
She screamed hideously, "Ah!"
And began to struggle frantically.
Liu Chang still didn't realize what was happening. He was aroused and pulled Shen Ruxu back to him once again, seemingly deeply indulged and unable to think clearly.
Shen Ruxu slapped Liu Chang’s back madly like a crazed person, hysterically shouting, "Liu Chang! Let me go, let me go!"
"Help! Help!"
"Save me!"
"It was Liu Chang who forced me!"
"Mistress, please, save me!"
Only then did Liu Chang react. Seeing the large crowd of refugees outside the tent watching the lively scene, he was still fearless. He got off Shen Ruxu stark naked, picked up his clothes on the ground and put them back on.
Also not bothering about Shen Ruxu on the bed, he gave the crowd outside a grin.
"I didn't force her. She seduced me herself."
Shen Ruxu lay on the bed curled up with the quilt wrapped around her, trembling all over.
Seeing this scene, countless people shook their heads and revealed disappointed expressions.
Among the refugees, more than a dozen well-respected elders were even more extremely disappointed in Shen Ruxu.
"I really judged wrongly. I didn't expect Miss Shen to be this kind of person!"
"How could this be... Miss Shen..."
"You were the cleanest and kindest person. Why would you get entangled with Liu Chang? And make people violate Miss Yin, then kill her and destroy her corpse!?"
Shen Ruxu sobbed and mumbled, "Get out... Get out, all of you... Get out!"
In this state... With so many people catching her, how could she still live in this world with dignity!
But no one left. They just looked at her miserable state as if wanting to hound her to death.
Gu Ying looked indifferently at the chaos in Shen Ruxu’s tent. "Miss Shen, where is Yin Lan?"
Shen Ruxu's body shuddered. Tears of grievance welled up in her eyes as she looked at Gu Ying innocently. "Mistress, why are you asking me... I already said that I don't know where Yin Lan went. I haven't seen her since yesterday!"
Gu Ying sneered and calmly exposed her lies. "You probably still don't know yet. Since Liu Chang entered your tent, we’ve been outside the whole time."
Shen Ruxu stiffened, her expression changing drastically. "What did you say?"
Gu Ying said calmly, "We heard your conversation with Liu Chang very clearly outside."
Shen Ruxu was stunned for a long time, her fingers twitching.
The quilt covering her slipped off, revealing the ambiguous red marks on her body.
What?
That meant they also knew about her instigating Liu Chang to do that thing?
Many of those present could no longer bear to watch. They advised while shaking their heads, "Miss Shen, you... Ah... How could you do something so sinister! What wrong did Miss Yin do to you? Why did you make people violate her, then kill her and destroy her corpse!?"
