Chapter 111 Murong Che mistakes Lin Qianqian for Wanwan
Murong Feng escorted the Fourth Prince, Murong Che, back to his residence. Halfway there, Lin Qianqian and Xiao Die happened to emerge.
Lin Qianqian stepped forward gracefully and curtsied, saying softly, "Greetings, Your Highness." Then, she glanced at Murong Che beside her, her delicate brows furrowing slightly as she asked, "Your Highness, who is this… ah…"
Before the exclamations had even subsided, Murong Che, as if possessed, moved with lightning speed, taking a step forward and suddenly pulling Lin Qianqian tightly into his arms.
Lin Qianqian had never been so frightened; her face turned deathly pale in an instant. Xiao Die, standing beside her, was also dumbfounded and at a loss for what to do. Murong Feng was also taken aback by this sudden turn of events.
At this moment, Murong Che had completely lost his mind, only muttering, "Wanwan~ Wanwan, you're back!"
His arms were like iron hoops, tightly binding Lin Qianqian, but his eyes were unfocused and dazed, as if he were seeing his deceased wife, Xu Wanwan, through the person in front of him.
Murong Feng's expression changed drastically, his face filled with panic and anxiety. He rushed forward, pulling at Murong Che with both hands, and shouted, "Fourth Brother, calm down! She's not Fourth Sister-in-law..."
Xiao Die was also anxiously trying to help, but Murong Che seemed to be possessed, holding Lin Qianqian tightly and refusing to let go, his arms bulging with veins from the force.
Lin Qianqian was almost suffocated by the tight grip, her pretty face flushed red, and her eyes were filled with fear and helplessness.
At this moment, Su Wan'er and Murong Yi were leisurely resting in a teahouse. Su Wan'er inadvertently caught a glimpse of this breathtaking scene, her heart jolting, her eyebrows instantly rising. Her beautiful eyes darted around a few times, and she secretly speculated:
[Lin Qianqian? How come... the person next to her is the Tenth Prince, and... the person she's hugging is...?]
A moment later, a wicked smile curved her lips, followed by a soft hum, clearly indicating she had already made up her mind. She deliberately raised her voice, feigning shock, and exclaimed in a coquettish voice, "Oh my, Your Highness, isn't that my sister? Why is she hugging and cuddling with a man? Good heavens!"
As she spoke, she covered the corners of her slightly upturned mouth with her hand, but her eyes were full of schadenfreude and smugness, like a cat that had stolen some fish.
Murong Yi was holding a teacup, about to drink, when she heard the shout. She subconsciously turned her head and looked in the direction of the sound.
In an instant, Murong Yi's face turned ashen, veins bulging on his forehead. He let out a heavy, cold snort, the sound as sharp as an ice blade, cutting through the air. He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white. Then, he moved like lightning, striding towards the stairs. Each step he took caused the stairs to sway slightly, producing a dull thud.
"Lin Qianqian!" Murong Yi roared like an enraged lion, his voice booming like thunder. His eyes burned with fury as he stared intently at Lin Qianqian, as if he wanted to devour her alive.
Hearing the shout, Lin Qianqian trembled and turned around. When she saw Murong Yi walking towards her like a demon, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Your Highness? Huh?"
A sudden unease welled up inside her, as if she were being coiled by a cold, venomous snake. But she was held tightly by Murong Che and couldn't move, only able to struggle in vain.
Murong Feng, who was standing to the side, was already terrified. Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, his teeth were clenched, and he used all his strength to pull Murong Che, urgently calling out, "Fourth Brother! Get up! You've mistaken her for someone else, she's not Fourth Sister-in-law!"
Murong Che seemed not to hear, still immersed in his own illusion, his arms tightening around her, muttering repeatedly, "Wanwan, don't leave me..."
Murong Yi swept in like a whirlwind, his eyes wide with rage. With a roar, he pulled the two apart with all his might. He staggered a few steps from the force, barely managing to regain his balance. Then, he turned to Murong Che, his chest surging with fury, and without thinking, threw a punch. The punch, carrying immense force, landed heavily on Murong Che's face.
Murong Che was so shocked by the blow that he saw stars and his body fell backward uncontrollably, almost falling to the ground. Fortunately, Murong Feng reacted quickly and stepped forward to support him.
Murong Che instantly snapped out of his daze. He raised his hand to touch the bruise on the corner of his mouth, looked at Murong Yi with a blank expression, and stammered, "Ninth Brother, you—" Murong Yi didn't want to hear his explanation at all, and glared at him fiercely, his eyes seeming to freeze people.
Immediately afterward, he angrily pointed at Lin Qianqian and cursed, "You shameless, promiscuous woman! You have no shame whatsoever, entangled in such a shameful affair with a man in broad daylight. Especially my own brother! I never knew you were this kind of person, and I was completely deceived by your past character!"
With that, he raised his hand high, filled with anger and contempt, and slapped it hard at Lin Qianqian. With a crisp "smack," a bright red handprint instantly appeared on Lin Qianqian's cheek, and her body was knocked to the side, with a few strands of hair falling messily in front of her face.
Xiaodie witnessed her mistress being beaten and scolded for no reason, and her eyes instantly reddened, tears welling up in them, filled with heartache and indignation. She argued with him, "Your Highness, how can you slander my young lady so indiscriminately! My young lady has always been pure and innocent. This is a misunderstanding. How can you insult her and even resort to such cruelty? As a prince, can you act so disregarding the facts and wantonly bullying a weak woman?"
