Chapter 68 Get Out, Preserve Your Purity for Another Man

Xiao Lanjue felt a chill down his back. He looked outside; the sun was out, so why was it suddenly so cold?

He glanced at Xuanyuan Heng and said calmly, "Her body is too frail. If she is not well taken care of, she might be in mortal danger."

Xuanyuan Heng cast a cold glance at Xiao Lanjue and said coldly, "Show him out."

Xiao Lanjue glared at Xuanyuan Heng, looking utterly incredulous, and said furiously, "Hey, hey, Xuanyuan Heng, how can you be like this?"

"You're done with me, so you're just tossing me aside?"

"This is immoral."

Before Xiao Lanjue could say anything more, Xuanyuan Heng had him escorted out.

Xiao Lanjue left with great reluctance.

Xuanyuan Heng looked at the person still on the bed and said coldly, "You will recuperate here for this period."

Upon hearing this, Feng Ran's expression turned extremely ugly. Her face was pale and she trembled all over. "No, I can't."

Ignoring her physical discomfort, Feng Ran even got up and tried to leave.

Seeing Feng Ran so eager to leave, Xuanyuan Heng's face darkened considerably. Did she dislike being here so much?

Back then, she had desperately tried to curry favor with him.

Now, she was trying so hard to escape for her life.

Had her heart truly changed over the years?

Was it because of Ling Chiyuan?

Indeed, Ling Chiyuan's status was something many people coveted.

Furthermore, Li Yuncheng was a master poisoner, his skills were quite advanced.

Hmph, had she found a high branch to climb now?

A surge of anger rose within him.

He even felt like destroying the person before him on the spot.

Feng Ran did not feel that there was anything wrong with what she had said. In fact, those were words Xuanyuan Heng had said himself. He had said, Feng Ran, if you ever step foot into the Xuanyuan Royal Manor again in this lifetime, I will take your life.

Xuanyuan Heng was a man of his word, and she was truly terrified.

Just as Feng Ran was about to leave, Xuanyuan Heng approached her step by step, forcing her back onto the bed and trapping her in his embrace. His hand fell on her pale face, sliding down, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"I will make you stay in the manor forever, is that acceptable?" Xuanyuan Heng's tone was full of condescension, as if Feng Ran was gaining a great advantage.

Feng Ran's face was extremely pale. Without thinking, she said, "No, I just want to go back to Chunmanyuan."

"Hmph, you just want to go back to Chunmanyuan?"

"Yes."

"Feng Ran, can you not live without a man? Are you that depraved?"

Feng Ran let out a light scoff, her eyes filled with mockery as she looked at Xuanyuan Heng.

Xuanyuan Heng narrowed his eyes and looked at Feng Ran, exuding a terrifying aura. "Feng Ran, you're too accustomed to serving others, aren't you? Do you feel uneasy if you're not serving someone?"

"Feng Ran, are you that depraved and shameless?"

"Shameless? Depraved?" Feng Ran raised her eyes, her gaze falling on Xuanyuan Heng.

"Feng Ran, you don't want to stay in the Xuanyuan Manor because of Ling Chiyuan? Do you think Ling Chiyuan would fancy someone as depraved as you?"

Xuanyuan Heng really couldn't stand seeing Feng Ran reject him for Ling Chiyuan.

"Feng Ran, you want to use Ling Chiyuan to escape my control, don't you?"

"Then I'll tell you, you'll never have that chance in this lifetime."

"Regent, please, let me go. You said that as long as I behaved myself at Chunmanyuan and performed well, you would give me the antidote. Regent, surely you haven't forgotten?"

"Hmph, are you blaming me now?" Nangong Jin raised an eyebrow. His hand went to her fair neck, and he squeezed, applying pressure.

"Feng Ran, if I apply a little more force, your life will end right here. You better think clearly."

"Remember, in front of me, I say what goes, understand?"

Feng Ran smiled, her smile unreadable, tinged with a sense of weariness.

Her eyes were filled with a contemptuous smile.

She was a person carrying the weight of sin and infamy.

Her life was already in his hands. She was no longer in control of her own destiny. Yet, he was threatening her again. Hmph, wasn't that laughable?

"Regent, I am a person of lowly status. If I were to stay in the Regent's Manor, it would only invite gossip from outsiders."

"Someone of my status is not qualified."

"In this lifetime, I can only obey. Whatever the Prince says, goes. After all, the Prince holds immense power. How could a woman of the pleasure district like me possibly contend with the Prince?"

"Hmph, you know fear now, so you're saying pleasant things to appease me, are you?"

"Then, if I tell you to stay in the manor obediently, you shouldn't have any objections, right?"

Feng Ran raised her eyes, her gaze fixed on Xuanyuan Heng. After a long pause, she said again, "Thank you for your favor, Prince, but my lowly status makes it truly impossible for me to stay in the manor."

She had no hesitation in humiliating and demeaning herself in front of Xuanyuan Heng.

Xuanyuan Heng tightened his grip, and Feng Ran's face immediately turned ashen, her breathing becoming labored.

A sense of suffocation washed over her.

Her hands flailed wildly, trying to break free.

Feng Ran, did she really not want to acknowledge him? Did she want to escape from his side so badly?

But Feng Ran didn't know that the more she acted this way, the more she enraged Xuanyuan Heng.

"Feng Ran, it seems you truly don't want to live."

As soon as Xuanyuan Heng finished speaking, he directly tore her clothes. Feng Ran struggled, "Xuanyuan Heng, no, you can't do this to me. Let go of me."

"Feng Ran, what's wrong? Are you trying to remain chaste for some man? Hmph, you weren't like this back then." His eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his entire being exuded a chilling aura.

"Your Highness seems to have forgotten. You called me depraved, you called me dirty, you said you felt disgusted even looking at me. Yet now you want to touch me. Your Highness, are you going back on your word?"

"I'm just trying not to cross the Prince's boundaries."

"Hmph, Feng Ran, you're truly something."

Feng Ran's lips curved into a sarcastic smile.

The foolish things she had done in the past, trying to get Xuanyuan Heng's attention, trying to stay by his side. But now, he wanted her to stay, and she refused.

Heavens, it had truly played a colossal joke on her.

One could only say that she was born at the wrong time. Things were happening at the wrong moment.

She was no longer the person she used to be.

Xuanyuan Heng left in a furious rage, and he got his wish, allowing Feng Ran to leave the manor.

However, she was directly thrown out by Xuanyuan Heng.

Feng Ran was pushed out by a wet nurse from the manor. The wet nurse, still feeling unappeased, forcefully shoved Feng Ran, causing her to fall to the ground.

Seeing this, the wet nurse sneered, "Hmph, what is it? Trying to frame this old servant?"

"Remember, you are no longer Miss Feng anymore, not someone high and mighty."

"Hmph, you are now someone everyone wants to beat."

The wet nurse, still feeling unsatisfied, looked at Feng Ran and kicked her several more times.

She continued to curse Feng Ran.
