Chapter 642.1: Caught off guard

Su Xi-er retorted, Hes more honest than you in every way.

Her words were like a sword that stabbed Yun Ruofengs heart. He grabbed Su Xi-ers chin and pinched it tightly. Its not wise to speak like that. Ive learnt my lesson, so dont think that Id be gentle with you now.

Even as he said it, Yun Ruofeng could tell from Su Xi-ers contemptuous gaze that she could care less if he was gentle or not. In fact, she had already decided to treat him as if he was mentally ill.

You said that I was the only one you wanted. Did you already forget your promise when Pei Qianhao seduced you? Yun Ruofeng let go of her and leaned back against the carriage walls.

Ning Rulan is already dead. Didnt you scatter the ashes at the pond in the Prince Yun Residence yourself?

Yun Ruofeng laughed. They were scattered in the pond. Do you hate me for that?

To hate me means that she still felt something for me at the time; could it be that?

No, I dont feel any hate for you anymore. I only hate that you would be as despicable as to involve commoners and your own men by making them ingest Yinluo Gra.s.s. Su Xi-er spoke calmly. She then asked, Are you planning to stay in the same carriage with me until we reach the border?

No, but I can stay if you dont mind it. Yun Ruofeng raised his brows as he remarked indifferently.

Id like to see Yinyin. Su Xi-er looked at him squarely.

Yun Ruofeng sat up straight and smiled. Sure, but youll have to give me a kiss first.

There was no change in Su Xi-ers expression as she said, Im already married to someone else, Prince Yun. Do you want me to drown in a pig cage? I would understand if you didnt want me to see Mei Jinxiu and Yu Xiao, but Yinyin is still a child. Do you think that Id be able to run away with her?

Hmph, youd be able to escape by yourself, but not with a little girl. Not to mention, the other two are still my hostages; though this is a despicable tactic, its because of you that I must use it. Yun Ruofeng lifted the curtains to give some instructions to the guard.

The guard then turned the carriage around and headed for another route.

Ill allow you to travel in the same horse carriage as Liu Yinyin for three days, but you should know that Ive also made Ning Lianchen aware of what has happened. Im sure that hes concerned, but hes going to be too occupied with other things. What would happen if he cant take the pressure at such a young age? Yun Ruofeng asked in mock concern.

Su Xi-er smirked at this. If Ning Lianchen couldnt take the pressure, it would simply mean that he wasnt fit to be the Emperor. Yun Ruofeng looked satisfied with himself, but this would just be another test for Ning Lianchen.

Not worried about your little brother; perhaps youre kicking him to the curb now that you have a husband? Or are you afraid that your ident.i.ty will be revealed and youll lose all the influence you have now? Yun Ruofeng felt that there were two reasons she stayed with Pei Qianhao. First, that he cared for and treated her well; second, that she had gotten a taste of the power that the prince held.

Im not worried about Lianchen because I trust him. Is there anyone else in this world who loves power more than you? Yun Ruofeng, lets just see how things go from here.
