Zhao Zhi stood up and smacked the letter on the table, his voice as heavy as a thunderbolt. He grabbed her jaw, without hurting her, his dark eyes fixed on her, "Come on, read it for me once."
It was quiet for a short while. An attendant standing outside the door reminded in a low voice, "Your Highness, it's almost time for morning court."
Zhao Zhi's face was harsh and his voice frosty, "Scram."
The attendant standing outside the door jolted in fear, he had never heard the composed and refined crown prince say such a harsh word as "scram".
Chapter 27
(10.2)
He dared to say again, "Your Highness, it will be too late if you don't leave now."
Zhao Zhi's voice was a few degrees colder than before, "I told you to scram, didn't you understand?"
The attendant's heart flinched and he didn't dare to say anything else.
Ming Zhu was too nervous to dare make any move. Her jaw felt a little sore from being pinched by him. Her eyes were slightly glistening with ripples and the tip of her nose was red. She clenched her sleeves, took a deep breath and then closed her eyes, asking, "Does Your Highness really want to hear me read?"
Zhao Zhi laughed coldly.
Ming Zhu felt very wronged, he touched her things without permission, and now he was angry with her, based on what ? She gave up trying so hard, "Please let go of me first, I will read it to you."
She would read it word after word, sentence after sentence.
Zhao Zhi loosened his fingers. Ming Zhu coughed twice and picked up the letters on the table. There were some that she had written to Wei Chiyu, and others that Wei Chiyu had written to her.
She hadn't studied much and didn't know how to write poems, thus the love words she wrote were very common and bold. At that time, she expressed nothing more than her hope of being happy with him forever.
At that time, she wished from the bottom of her heart to marry a good husband. His family didn't have to be eminent, nor did he need to have a lot of money. As long as he was sincere to her, liked her and was willing to treat her well, that was enough. So the words written on the letter all came from the bottom of her heart.
Ming Zhu also hadn't read these letters for a long time, so she was a bit dazed before she came back to her senses. She said in a low voice: "Dear gentleman Wei, with endless affection."
"Yesterday, I got a letter. My heart was full of joy. A day without seeing you is like three autumns, I only hope to be with gentleman Wei as soon as possible, never to be separated."
With every word she said, the look on Zhao Zhi's face grew colder.
Reading the letters again, Ming Zhu's eyes turned sore, and her heart was still feeling sad. She then read the next letter, "Gentleman Wei, I haven't seen you for half a month, how are you doing? The matriarch has agreed to betroth me to you, and I now only hope to spend a lifetime with you."
Zhao Zhi held down her wrist, as if he finally couldn't listen to it anymore, "Don't read anymore."
Ming Zhu felt that after she read the letter, Zhao Zhi's anger not only didn't go away, but on the contrary grew even more.
There was no extra expression on the man's face, his tall figure loomed over her, making the air pressure heavy.
Zhao Zhi, without saying a word, picked up the old letters on the table and threw them into the charcoal burner.
The moment the letters touched the flames, they turned into ashes that flew in the air.
Ming Zhu wanted to snatch them back, but it was too late.
When Zhao Zhi saw her lunge forward, he fiercely clutched her arm and vigorously dragged her into his arms. He lowered his eyes and looked down at her before biting hard the corner of her mouth. He only felt better when he tasted the blood from her bleeding mouth. His voice was extremely cold : "You can't part with it?"
Ming Zhu was already red from anger. The corners of her eyes also had turned into a shade of pitiful light red and they became vaguely translucent with glowing water.
When Zhao Zhi saw that she was about to cry, he held back the anger that was burning inside and suppressed it. At this moment, he also lost his usual composure and reason that he took pride in, "Do you still want to be the gentleman's wife?"
Ming Zhu clenched her teeth and didn't say anything. Her eyes that were filled with water glared at him.
Zhao Zhi never saw her look like this, like a cat whose fur was raised in anger. When he mentioned Wei Chiyu, she couldn't sit still anymore and her temper flared. He hated it so much his teeth were itching.
"Do you think he will marry you?" A cold smile spread across the corners of Zhao Zhi's mouth, as if he was laughing at her foolish dreams.
The indifference in Zhao Zhi's eyes truly really hurt Ming Zhu's self-esteem, which was almost non-existent. More than indifference, his eyes carried something more alike mockery, disdain, disregard, looking at her like he would a lowly plaything, deliberately humiliating her.
In fact, from the time she was abducted by Zhao Zhi and taken to his bed, she had no such thing as self-respect anymore. She tried her best to keep herself from thinking about the rumors circulating in the human world. But her heart wasn't made of gold, and she also would feel shame, feel upset and sad.
Ming Zhu felt so upset that she just started to cry.
This time, when Zhao Zhi saw her cry, his heart didn't soften and he spoke clearly, word by word, "He won't."
"Don't delude yourself into thinking you can still go back to him."
Ming Zhu wiped the corners of her eyes and talked in a nasal voice, keeping her head down, she whispered, "If it weren't for you, I would have married him a long time ago as I wished."
She wouldn't have to be an unseemly outside mistress, she wouldn't have to be humiliated and insulted by her sisters at home telling her she was vulgar, she wouldn't become in the eyes of others this scheming concubine-born daughter who seduced the crown prince and clung to power.
