"Yes."
Luo Shang looked at him and said without the slightest hesitation.
"How could I like a cruel and merciless man like you? "Not in this life."
She spoke each word with such certainty and determination.
The sparkling light in her eyes gave her courage, making her seem cold.
When the man heard her words, his originally cold and black brows became so dark that it was hard to look straight at. It was unknown if the black hair on his forehead was due to anger or if it was gradually being revealed on his handsome face, but his eyes were cold and fierce.
Leng Shaoyu supported his strong body with one hand against the tree trunk beside her ear, just enough for him to lean in front of his.
The other hand moved slowly through her hair, clamping her head, making her eye contact with his, nose to nose, fingers clamped to her, pressing.
With a charming smile, she said, "That would be the best —"
"Because This King will also not have any feelings for a hypocritical woman like you."
He smiled at her and said something affectionate.
Luo Shang's heart suddenly felt a stifling pain. She knew that Leng Shaoyu hated her, and it wasn't the first time she had heard him ridicule her like this. But this time, she felt a kind of pain in her heart.
However, she didn't want the man in front of her to notice, nor did she want to feel that she was wrong. She could only raise her head and meet his gaze.
The wind blew the men and women in the night, enveloping their bodies and burying them in the endless night.
Leng Shaoyu looked at her unconcerned expression, he squinted his eyes and grabbed her lower jaw, forcing her to raise his eyes and look at him.
"Listen up. Even if This King forgets you, you shouldn't be delusional enough to seduce other men. At least, in this lifetime, you can only be my slave. "
"Yes." Prince Jin was right. A lowly female slave like me doesn't have the qualifications to seduce other men. " Luo Shang met his gaze with her bright eyes, and she said with a smile that was full of self-mockery.
Leng Shaoyu's face instantly became even colder, and the extremely handsome face was already unable to conceal the terrifying savageness of his face when his anger exploded.
"Are you infuriating This King?"
A black line was twisted between his brows, full of hostility.
"I don't dare." Luo Shang's jaw was grabbed by his big palm, causing him to be unable to move an inch, but his eyes that were already covered in water was still unmoving.
"But you have angered me."
Luo Shang could clearly feel that when the man said these words, the pressure on her palms became heavier. She only felt that the collarbone under her lower jaw was about to be crushed by him.
"This King has told you more than once not to provoke me. You cannot afford it." The man's thin lips pursed as he spoke those seemingly ordinary yet cruel words.
"You want to use them to threaten me again and make me compromise? Leng Shaoyu, you really have no idea what's going on. "
Luo Shang let out a light snort, and that slight smile penetrated every single one of her cells, displaying its full disdain.
The man looked at her as if he were examining a prey that could not escape his grasp.
"That's enough for you. As for whether it's new or not, what difference does it make?"
"This King heard that the great generals of the imperial court have done a great service recently. I'm afraid that the greater the limelight, the greater the fear..."
He did not continue speaking, but only curled his lips. He saw anger gradually appearing in the woman's eyes, and behind that anger was compromise.
"Tell me, what kind of hatred could cause you to hate Luo Family to such an extent. Tell me, how can you let go of Luo Family, and … "Me." Tears rolled down Luo Shang's face. She still didn't know why this man hated her so much with her Luo Family and everything.
Two streams of scalding tears slowly flowed out of the man's eyes, slowly flowing down his large and powerful palms. At the same time, they also burned the temperature on the back of his hands.
As Leng Shaoyu looked at the woman's haggard appearance, her miserable and helpless little face and her pair of hazy teary eyes, caused his heart to soften as well.
Those eyes really look like her. Such a pitiful appearance.
Then, his grip on her jaw began to loosen. As his anger slowly subsided, he only heard the woman's quivering eyes looking at him.
He said, almost powerlessly, "Just what do I have to do for you to let us go? What do you want me to do for a cruel and terrifying man to have a shred of mercy?"
Cruel? Terrifying?
Was he still cruel to her?
He had said that he wanted her dead, but he had not shown her mercy time and time again. He had said that he wanted her to live a painful life, but he had still treated her with the same callousness he had said.
Was he still cruel to her?
Then what about Luo Family, and what about Luo Family? Just because Old General Luo had done a great service in breaking the enemy, the late emperor had forced him to marry a woman he did not love, to marry her? Just because he fell in love with a sinner's daughter and had to spend his entire life repenting?
Back then, if it wasn't for the woman who was greedily thinking about marrying into the Duke Palace, if it wasn't for Lo Ke trying his best to make use of her sister's phoenix form to become a relative of the Emperor, how could Yue have died, how could he have ended up in such a miserable state?
His pain, should be repaid with his Luo Family, should be shouldered by her, Luo Shang. This was something that she owed him.
"You shouldn't have any pity for your Luo Family, and you, aren't even worthy."
Leng Shaoyu released his hand, sneered, and continued: "Be a good slave obediently, maybe you can keep your Luo Family safe for the time being."
The man looked at her in disdain. He didn't continue to linger on her body as he turned around and started to walk away.
That back figure was so cold, so terrifying, Luo Shang leaned on the tree trunk, gasping for air. Her heart was in so much pain, as though a thousand chariots had pressed down on her, only broken parts remained, telling of her painful scars.
Watching the figure of the tree gradually disappear into the distance, she raised her head and smiled bitterly. Her hands rested on the thick trunk of the tree.
Tears silently rolled down his face.
The wind blew through the forest, gently swaying the willow tree's soft and exquisite branches back and forth in the air, a bit lonely, a bit sad …
At the same time, the man that walked out of the corner also stopped.
With his hands behind his back, his tall figure stood under the floating willow branches. His elegant demeanor was perfectly outlined by his gorgeous long robe under the moonlight, but his pair of deep eyes dyed by the darkness of the night were still out of place.
It was so complicated, so deep, and so unforgettable.
What exactly does Luo Family owe you?
What exactly do you want me to do for you so that you can release your Luo Family and release me?
What am I supposed to do, you cruel and terrible man, you will have a trace of pity.
Luo Shang's words, repeated themselves in the man's ears over and over again. Her hysteria, her deathly pale and powerless face, and her pair of teary eyes.
It was like an intertwined net, tightly locking Leng Shaoyu's heart.
He only felt a wave of worry in his heart, and under the concealed rage, 'Bang!' With a sound, the clenched fist landed on the tree trunk, causing the tall and straight willow tree to suddenly shake.
Today, at the moment when blood was flowing out from her wrist, his heart had indeed been tied down by something. He admitted that he didn't want this woman to die just like that.
However, when he passed the corner of the long hall and looked at the man and woman in the corridor opposite, he only felt that his heart was like a raging fire, he wished that he could immediately tear her into a thousand pieces.
He had warned her before, but this woman still went to have sex with another man, and that person was still his own brother.
That was why he had humiliated her in public, making her act as if she was a singer, trying to make him laugh.
He only wanted to let her know his identity, and let her know how weak she was in front of him.
However, he still softened his heart. The moment he saw her turn around with tears flowing down her face, he did not treat her with such ruthlessness and cruelty.
He followed her all the way, and when he saw the warmth in her eyes as she held the child in her arms, he had never seen it before.
Perhaps, at that moment, he already felt that this woman wasn't that bad.
But when he heard the words, that he would never love him, he frowned. He didn't know what it meant, and felt that besides anger or resentment, what he wanted was not only revenge on him but also the conquest of Luo Family and her.
"Your Highness, the Lord Mo has something to report to you, Your Highness. The Marquis is currently outside the hall."
Little Cai waved her sleeves in respect and reported gently.
When she was eating, she saw the prince drink quite a lot of wine and was afraid that there would be any trouble, so she arranged a few servants to follow him in the shadows all the way to this place.
Following the appearance of the voice, Leng Shaoyu slowly turned around. He withdrew his complicated expression, and his expression was calm and steady.
"Yes."
The man simply replied and was about to leave, but stopped after taking two steps.
He did not turn around.
"Give the order that no one in the prince's mansion is required to treat that woman with the etiquette of a wangfei. Go take care of the rear courtyard and bring her there tomorrow. " His words were neither hot nor cold, not even a hint of warmth.
"But Your Highness, if I let the wangfei move to the backyard, I'm afraid this servant …" Little Cai opened his eyes wide, thinking that the Duke really did want the Royal Concubine to go to the backyard.
"Why don't you go and stay with her?" He spoke coldly.
Little Cai realized that she had said something wrong and knelt down, lowering her head. "Your servant knows her wrongs and asks that prince to punish her. Your servant is only worried that the news of wangfei entering the backyard will spread …"
"Do your own thing. That's what you should do."
"Yes." This servant understands. " Little Cai did not dare to say anything more, it was just that this time it would be tough for the wangfei, what should she do, according to wangfei's high and proud personality, she would most likely …
Thinking about it, Little Cai shook her head.
