Xia Sizhu's eyes widened as she began to struggle.
How could Dongfang Ye let her do as she pleased?
Xia Sizhu felt as though she couldn't breathe at all. Only after a long time did he finally release his hold on her.
Having gained her freedom, Xia Sizhu immediately fled far away, looking at Dongfang Ye with a guarded expression as she breathed in large mouthfuls of fresh air. She felt that if she was a second too late, she would have suffocated to death.
Looking at Xia Sizhu, Dongfang Ye felt that the unhappiness he had at the banquet today had completely disappeared.
"You bastard!"
Xia Sizhu rubbed her lips as she cursed in exasperation. She had been taken advantage of again!
Dongfang Ye couldn't help but laugh when he saw Xia Sizhu's angry expression.
"Why are you laughing!?" Don't come near me! " Seeing Dongfang Ye walking towards her, she couldn't help but to warn him.
"You can come if you don't want to. You have to tell me why you would rather go to jail today than agree to an edict. Don't you love the Crown Prince a lot?" Why are you resisting the marriage today? " Dongfang Ye looked at Xia Sizhu as if he wanted to see through her.
"I used to like him, but now I don't." Actually, she had never liked the crown prince. The one who liked the crown prince was the original owner of the body, not her.
"Why?" When he saw her, he was not jealous of the crown prince. When he met her, he admitted that he was a little jealous of the crown prince, jealous that he would be able to obtain her love.
What Dongfang Ye didn't know was that he didn't need to be jealous, because the one who loved the crown prince was never Xia Sizhu.
"If you don't like it, you don't like it. There's no reason for it." Dongfang Ye looked into Xia Sizhu's clear eyes. When Xia Sizhu had said that she didn't love the crown prince, her eyes were very calm without a trace of reluctance or pain, or even of loss and panic. Could it be that she really didn't love the crown prince anymore?
"Three days after I went missing and his men chased me for three days, the former Xia Sizhu died. The current Xia Sizhu is the brand-new Xia Sizhu. She will no longer love the crown prince."
In order to prevent Dongfang Ye from being suspicious, she could only tell him the truth about Xia Sizhu being hunted down. Although what she said wasn't the truth, it was undeniable that Xia Sizhu was indeed killed by Dongfang Li's subordinates.
"How can you be so sure that the Crown Prince chased you?" Dongfang Ye couldn't believe it. Although the crown prince loathed Xia Sizhu, he wouldn't send anyone to kill her.
"I found it on the person who killed me." Xia Si Zhu took out a command medallion from his chest pocket and tossed it to Dongfang Ye. This medallion was found on the body of the killer who killed her. Xia Si Zhu recognized this medallion; it belonged to the crown prince.
Dongfang Ye caught the medallion and his eyes flashed. It was indeed the crown prince's medallion. Dongfang Ye then threw the medallion to Xia Sizhu.
"Even if you want to end the engagement, you have to wait until the empress dowager returns. Why must you reject the marriage in public? Do you know that if the empress dowager doesn't return, your life will be in danger!?" When Dongfang Ye thought of the scene of Xia Sizhu refusing the marriage in public, he felt a lingering fear. Fortunately, the emperor hadn't ordered her to be executed on the spot.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Xia Sizhu couldn't possibly tell Dongfang Ye that she was planning to escape, right? He had no choice but to settle down. Furthermore, she didn't hold much hope for the empress dowager, who she had never even met before. After all, her previous self hadn't left much information on her, and she wasn't sure if the empress dowager was truly fond of her or had other intentions.
"What do you mean nothing? If the empress dowager doesn't make it in time to save you, just wait for your head to hit the ground!" Don't look at this grandpa, he won't save you either. " Xia Sizhu's perfunctory appearance caused his extinguished anger to rise once more.
Dongfang Ye automatically blocked the fact that he had written to the Empress Dowager as soon as he returned, and also gave the Shadow Cavalry the death order.
I'm not looking at you, nor am I counting on you to save me! Of course, Xia Sizhu only dared to say these words in her heart. If she said them out loud, who knew if Dongfang Ye would go on a rampage, then she would be the one to suffer.
If Dongfang Ye knew what Xia Sizhu was thinking, he would definitely slap this heartless woman to death.
"Gulp." A series of sounds rang out. Xia Sizhu, who had just stood up, awkwardly rubbed her stomach. Her face had a faint blush on it.
"Hungry?" Dongfang Ye looked at Xia Sizhu in surprise, then turned around to look at the opened cell.
There was a human bowl placed at the entrance of the prison with a few leaves on it. There was a strange smell coming from it, and Dongfang Ye frowned in disgust. Even dogs wouldn't be able to eat this kind of food, let alone a person like Xia Sizhu who ate extremely well.
"It's all your fault!" It was one thing if Dongfang Ye hadn't mentioned him, but when he mentioned Xia Sizhu, she was furious. Just now, she had fainted because she wanted to go out to eat, but she had met him before coming out.
"Why?" Dongfang Ye was confused by Xia Sizhu's scolding. What did he do?
"If you hadn't come over, I would have gone out to eat and come back. Now it's alright, there's still time to wake up. It's too late to go out and buy. You can't blame anyone." Xia Sizhu was so angry that she turned around and walked straight to her cell. She picked up the jade Xiao and sat down to ignore Dongfang Ye.
The corner of Dongfang Ye's mouth widened into a smile as he looked at Xia Sizhu's angry expression. He took out an oily, paper-wrapped lump from his chest.
Xia Sizhu sensed Dongfang Ye's movements and looked up. She saw that Xia Sizhu's gaze was fixated on her. Dongfang Ye opened up the oil paper and a delicate fragrance wafted out. "Gulu ~" Once again, Xia Sizhu's stomach was in disarray.
Seeing Xia Sizhu's appearance, Dongfang Ye smiled. Fortunately, today, he had gone out to look at the snacks on the table, and when he thought about how Xia Sizhu had turned a killer into a hornet's nest for a piece of snack, he found it funny.
"Here!" Dongfang Ye walked forward and handed the snacks over to Xia Sizhu. Suddenly, a pile of snacks appeared in front of him, because it hadn't been cooked for a long time, and because Dongfang Ye was in his embrace, the snacks were still steaming.
After reacting, Xia Sizhu grabbed the dessert from Dongfang Ye's hands and began to eat it. Firstly, she was hungry, and secondly, she was afraid that Dongfang Ye would suddenly retract his snack.
Dongfang Ye looked at Xia Sizhu wolfing down her food. A trace of a doting look flashed in his eyes that even his son didn't notice. As if he had thought of something, Dongfang Ye turned around and walked to a table not far away. He turned around again and a cup of tea appeared in his hand.
As soon as Dongfang Ye walked in front of Xia Sizhu, he noticed that Xia Sizhu's eyes were glowing red, and he quickly handed over the teacup in his hands. Just as he saw Xia Sizhu eat too quickly, he went to pour her a cup of tea to prevent her from choking.
Just as Xia Sizhu choked on her tears, she saw that there was an extra cup of tea in front of her. She immediately grabbed it and drank it.
"Slow down." Seeing Xia Sizhu's stuffy posture, Dongfang Ye couldn't help but remind her. He didn't want her to choke on water again. Fortunately, Xia Sizhu didn't choke this time.
"More." After handing the teacup to Dongfang Ye, Xia Sizhu faced Dongfang Ye and spoke.
The corner of Dongfang Ye's mouth twitched, it had always been someone else watching. He deserved to be served by her ancestors. It was very convenient for her to order him around. Dongfang Ye narrowed his eyes. He would first remember this debt. When the time came, they would settle the total debt and turn around to pour water for Xia Sizhu.
After eating some food, Xia Sizhu's eating speed gradually slowed down. Dongfang Ye stood by, holding a cup in one hand and a teapot in the other. Xia Sizhu drank a cup, he poured a cup, and then handed it back to Xia Sizhu.
