After Shen Shiyun returned to the palace, she still viewed that experience as a great humiliation. Her face was pale with anger. "You still dare to bring up that day? You … how dare you … "Cheng Jiaxuan's heart skipped a beat. He also remembered that was the first time he'd seen Jiang Chen. But after that, he and Shen Shiyun acted intimately and made her feel jealous again.
Jiang Jianchen said, "So what? I'm the one who forgave you and saved your life 'several times'. Have you forgotten about that? You took advantage of the chaos to steal the Tears of Severing Soul. I haven't even settled the score with you yet, but you're questioning me first? But that really surprised me. I didn't think that you'd use your seduction techniques on me. And I didn't think that I'd be careless and fall for your honey trap. But if your looks were mediocre, you wouldn't have been the star of the Agarwood Garden, much less seducing the Emperor. "
Shen Shiyun had always been too embarrassed to speak about this. She angrily said, "You … let go of me!" She shook her hands and struggled. Jiang Jianchen laughed lowly. "They say that a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea. You said very nicely then that you'd be my servant from now on and obey my every word. Now you're turning your back on me? You had Li Yijie and the others retrieve the Death Claiming Slash for you, then killed them to silence them afterwards. You stole the sheep while you were at it. That was a good plan indeed. It's a pity that the ancient tomb was buried by falling rocks. Even our sweet memories were lost … "
The more Shen Shiyun listened, the angrier she became. It was as if a surge of strength had suddenly been ignited in her body. She pushed fiercely with both hands and seized the opportunity to break free. She glared hatefully at him and angrily slammed the door behind her.
Jiang Jianchen treated Shen Shiyun like a cat toying with a mouse. He hadn't played with her enough yet, so how could he allow her to leave so easily? He took a few steps forward and said, "Shen Shiyun, come back here! I'm talking to you … "He only saw a corner of Shen Shiyun's dress flash past the door frame. He was enraged. Cheng Jiaxuan tugged at his sleeve and pleaded pitifully. Jiang Jianchen didn't even listen to a single word as he flung her aside with a flick of his sleeve. He pointed outside the door and shouted, "Don't think that you'll be fine just because you ran away. Even if you hide to the ends of the earth, I won't let you go! "
After venting his anger, he suddenly heard the sound of slapping coming from behind him. It was especially loud and clear, not much different from his usual slaps. He wondered in his heart, "Could it be that someone else just entered the hall? How could I not tell? " Turning his head, he saw Cheng Jiaxuan slapping himself fiercely in the face. His face was covered in tears and he was panting like a cow. His ferocious attitude made it seem as if he was treating him as his most hated enemy.
Her face was already swollen beyond words, and now that she had been beaten up, her face had completely lost its human form. Tears and blood mixed together. In the end, he clenched his fist and punched the bridge of his nose. His shoulders trembled and he pursed his lips. Two streaks of blood flowed from his nostrils.
Jiang Jianchen wasn't surprised by Cheng Jiaxuan's bizarre attitude, but this was the first time he had seen such a strange action. He asked curiously, "You … what are you doing?" But thinking that this woman couldn't be understood by common sense, he didn't need to pay any attention to her strange words.
Cheng Jiaxuan cried, "I … I hate myself so much. Why are you never willing to look me in the eye? Why are you so good to Noble Consort Yun? Is it really that difficult to like me? I've worked so hard to please you, I've never been willful, and I've never dared to disobey you in the slightest. Why would you rather joke with her than pay attention to me? I … sob sob sob … is it because I'm not as beautiful as her? I hate this sloppy appearance … or perhaps I'm as tasteless as a cup of lukewarm water. I also hate this useless personality. I hate myself to death, I hate myself to death. I might as well beat myself to death! "She continued to slap herself fiercely as she cried.
Jiang Jianchen was irritated and said, "Hold on, speak clearly for me. Do you hate yourself, or do you hate me? "
Cheng Jiaxuan said with teary eyes, "Of course I hate myself. I … I don't even have enough time to love you, why would I hate you? If someone else treated you badly, I would hate them as well. It's just that I've made you angry, so I'll help you teach myself a lesson. "
Feeling that slaps and fists weren't enough to vent her anger, she pulled out a dagger, rolled up her sleeves, and viciously cut her exposed arm several times. Streaks of blood immediately appeared on her pale skin, and the blood that flowed out dripped all over the floor. But she still didn't dare cut her wrists. She only viciously cut her forearm back and forth. Before long, half of her arm was swollen like a rotten carrot.
Jiang Jianchen saw that she still only knew how to abuse herself. She was simply too cowardly. He said, "Why didn't you stab me with a knife?"
Cheng Jiaxuan said with astonishment, "I … Why would I … Didn't you say it before? Even if I kill myself, I won't harm you. I won't harm you in this lifetime. It's just that … it's just that I really hate myself. I hate myself for not being able to obtain your love! "Jiang Jianchen snorted coldly." You hate yourself so much, but you want me to like you? Is my taste worse than yours? "
Cheng Jiaxuan stopped crying for a moment, then said, "But … even if you can't love me as much as you love Miss Chu, and you can't pretend to be gentle and considerate like you do with Miss Jin, at least … I've done so much for you. You should see my true feelings. I love you so much, can you not hate me? "Jiang Jianchen said," Sure, but you can get away from me in the future and stop bothering me. Don't ever appear in front of me again. That's enough. "
Cheng Jiaxuan cried, "I can do all of your requests. Just this one … I really can't. I don't want to leave you. I just want to be by your side. "The dagger cut more and more viciously. Half of it was pain, half of it was heartache. Cheng Jiaxuan wailed heartbreakingly.
Jiang Jianchen was annoyed to the extreme. He hadn't even settled things with Shen Shiyun, and now she was crying so much that his head was about to explode. His figure flashed, and he grabbed the back of Cheng Jiaxuan's hand that held the knife. He pulled it away from her bloody forearm and placed it on her carotid artery. He said, "If you really want to die, it'll be much faster to cut it from here."
Cheng Jiaxuan looked at him with eyes full of pity. "If … if I really died, would you be happy? I'd rather die than make you happy. "Jiang Jianchen said," Ridiculous. Why would I be happy if you died? "
Cheng Jiaxuan was overjoyed. She flung the dagger away, and her swollen face glowed with incomparable excitement. "So you finally have me in your heart? Is that right? Is that right? "
Jiang Jianchen said, "A slut like you is nothing in my heart. Who cares if you die or not? Who cares about a stranger's life or death?"
Cheng Jiaxuan's smile and tears froze on her face. She wanted to crouch down and pick up the dagger again, but a wave of dizziness suddenly surged in her temples. She swayed and almost couldn't stand steadily. She said, "Then can you tell me what kind of woman you like? I can change for you. Even if you want me to suppress all of my personality and become a completely different person from head to toe, I'm willing. As long as you can tell me … "
Jiang Jianchen really wanted to kill her with one blow. Suddenly, he heard Shen Shiyun's voice at the door. She laughed, "You don't need to ask him this question. I'll answer you. Jiang Shengjun has a strange hobby. The only thing he likes is dead people. Look at Chu Menglin, An Yesun, and Luo Jin. Aren't they all dead people? "
Cheng Jiaxuan said, "But … but …" Jiang Jianchen was in no mood to pay attention to her. He only looked at Shen Shiyun and said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, "Oh, you're back? You don't plan to run away anymore? "Shen Shiyun smiled," I didn't plan to run in the first place. " She took out a wine jug from her side and said, "I ran an errand for you to get some wine. Isn't that good enough? It must've been hard for you to talk so much to that troublesome girl Xiao Xuan. Don't you feel thirsty? Don't you want to drink a cup? "
Jiang Jianchen smiled faintly, "Very good. You can accompany me." Shen Shiyun said, "Of course. It just so happens that I also have a lot to say to Jiang Shengjun." Jiang Jianchen made a sound of agreement, then said, "Let her go."
He didn't need to mention her name. Cheng Jiaxuan could tell that he was talking about her. She hurriedly begged, "No, please don't drive me away. I won't disturb you, okay? I promise that I won't say a single extra word. I'll be quiet … "Jiang Jianchen said coldly," I don't like to repeat myself. Tell her to get the hell out of here! "
Shen Shiyun looked at Cheng Jiaxuan's disheveled hair and swollen cheeks. She couldn't help but laugh. She just happened to turn her head and laugh, "What's the point? Just let Xiao Xuan stay on the side and serve tea. It's not a bad idea. Jiang Shengjun used to be in the Demon Sect. He rose from Young Lord to Hierarch. Even if he usurped the throne, he didn't lack a servant girl, did he? "
Jiang Jianchen said, "I told her to get the hell out, so she has to get the hell out. Don't even think about staying a moment longer." Seeing that Shen Shiyun was smiling coldly and didn't respond, he simply pulled Cheng Jiaxuan over and dragged her all the way to the door. Ignoring her cries and begging, he kicked her out. He then closed the door and turned to face Shen Shiyun. He sneered, "You forced me to say this three times in a row. You're really something."
Shen Shiyun sighed, "How domineering. Jiang Shengjun really doesn't know how to have tender feelings for the fairer sex. "Jiang Jianchen said," You only know now? You should be glad that at least I didn't treat you that way. " Shen Shiyun said, "That's right. You also wouldn't … dare …" After thinking for a bit, she still swallowed the second half of her sentence.
Jiang Jianchen walked to the table with an arrogant expression and sat down in the chair. He looked at the empty wine bowl in front of him and snorted coldly, "Pour me some wine."
Shen Shiyun said, "Are you used to bossing people around? I don't give you orders so casually! "
Jiang Jianchen said, "Are you pouring or not?" Although his tone was indifferent, Shen Shiyun felt a chill run down her spine. She had no choice but to compromise. She reluctantly picked up the wine jug. She still wanted to put on a brave front and say a few more words to save some face, "That's why I said, why must you chase Xiao Xuan away? Isn't it just right to leave the task of pouring wine to her? But of all things, you have to order me around … Ever since I followed His Majesty, I've never poured wine for anyone else! "Towards the end, there was a hint of coquettishness in her voice.
Jiang Jianchen completely ignored her. When she put down the wine jug with a pout, he also picked it up and poured some wine into another bowl, saying, "Forget it. I've never poured wine for anyone else either. Let's call it even now. Drink. "Shen Shiyun forced a smile," I've never touched a drop of wine. I don't know how to drink. "
Jiang Jianchen said, "There's nothing in this world that a single person can't do. Didn't you also go from being a courtesan of Agarwood Courtyard to being a noble consort? "Shen Shiyun said," What Agarwood Courtyard … that's so unpleasant to hear! If I don't know how to drink, then I don't know how to drink! "Jiang Jianchen cast a sidelong glance at her, saying," If I want to do something, then I must do it. But I can make an exception for you. Forget it then. "As he spoke, he picked up the wine bowl on the table and downed the entire contents without even looking.
Shen Shiyun sighed softly and smiled charmingly, saying, "Aren't you afraid that I'll poison the wine?"
