After giving her contraceptives, she went mad, criticizing the prince for turning white-haired overn

The man, with his deep eyes, sat upright on a peach wood chair carved with pear blossoms, coldly watching her every move.

It was as if I was watching a play that had nothing to do with me.

Shen Ning climbed onto his body, snuggled into his arms, and slowly untied his black belt.

Seeing that Xie Linyuan remained unmoved, she mustered her courage and reached out to wrap her arms around his neck.

She was very nervous, her whole body tense, but she still pressed her soft lips to Xie Linyuan's tightly pursed thin lips.

Xie Linyuan remained expressionless, watching her continue with an air of leisure.

In the backlight, a faint scent of peach blossoms wafted from the girl's hair, lingering subtly around his nose.

You can also see her heaving chest and her jade-like, delicate skin.

It must be admitted that she is indeed a beauty that drives men crazy.

But he remained pursed-lipped and narrow-eyed, giving her no kind look whatsoever.

Shen Ning mustered her courage and gently kissed his high, straight nose.

"Your Highness, could you please release my cousin?"

Her icy fingers had just slipped inside his clothes, intending to remove his outer robe, when...

But then the man let out a soft scoff.

Xie Linyuan suddenly raised his hand and grabbed her slender, fragile neck, his voice tinged with amusement.

"Miss Shen, you overestimate yourself."

"You dare to climb into my bed for a man?"

Shen Ning's breath hitched, and she slightly raised her eyes to meet his dangerous gaze.

"No...that's not it."

"I am, I did it for you."

"For me?" Xie Linyuan sneered.

"I really did this for you."

She pursed her thin lips and carefully pressed them against hers.

When their skin touched, a tingling sensation ran through them.

"You have truly broadened my horizons."

"Are you trying to test me, hoping I'll soften and release Ye Huai, or are you truly willing to sacrifice yourself for him?"

"I'll know once I try." Xie Linyuan's lips brushed against her ear, his tone icy yet seemingly provocative.

Before Shen Ning could react to the meaning behind his words, she saw a deep, unfathomable darkness flash across his eyes.

The man suddenly stood up, grabbed her clothes, lifted her up, and threw her onto the soft couch beside him.

Shen Ning was a little scared.

She struggled to get up, but Xie Linyuan had already leaned close to her and roughly pulled at her belt.

She finally realized what he wanted to do.

No...no.

She just wanted to soften his heart, beg him to let go of her cousin, and get closer to him.

I never imagined anything would actually happen between us.

Shen Ning tried to get up, but Xie Linyuan pressed her waist down hard.

A dangerous glint suddenly appeared in the man's eyes, as if carrying hatred from a past life and an undisguised possessiveness.

"Xie Linyuan, I don't want to!"

"Weren't you trying to seduce me for his sake? Now you know how to struggle?"

"What, are you scared already?"

"Or are you simply yearning for that one intimate moment with me?"

Xie Linyuan's voice was icy.

Seeing Shen Ning shrink back, he grabbed her fair ankle and pulled her petite body back under him.

Shen Ning tried desperately to push him away, but he was too tall and she couldn't handle him at all.

"don't want……"

She regretted it; she regretted using that method to soften his heart.

He won't soften his heart.

She hadn't even gotten up yet.

The man leaned down and bit her lips hard, almost ravaging her.

"Shen Ning, you provoked me first."

The man swallowed all her breath.

"Well……"

Shen Ning tried to push him away, but Xie Linyuan's large hand gripped her waist tightly, making her unable to move.

He was like a madman out of control, tearing at her clothes haphazardly, skillfully searching for places that would please her.

In the chaos, Shen Ning found a sliver of space and bit down hard on the old wound on his shoulder.

Xie Linyuan frowned, taking a deep breath in pain.

In his past life, ever since Jing'er died, he always wanted to have another child with her.

Whenever he was intimate with her, she would always bite that spot.

Make him wish he were dead.

This wound was left on the battlefield years ago.

Later, the wound became infected and ulcerated. Although it had fully healed, it could not be touched.

Xie Linyuan lowered his eyes and looked at the little girl with red eyes beneath him, a sudden wave of disgust rising in his heart.

"roll."

"I don't want to see you."

Shen Ning quickly got out of bed and put on her cloak.

She took two steps forward, but couldn't help turning back.

"Where's my cousin? What did you do to him?"

Xie Linyuan scoffed lightly: "Him? He's dead."

"Do you want to know how he died?"

Shen Ning's face turned deathly pale.

Given Xie Linyuan's methods, Ye Huai won't have an easy time.

"Xie Linyuan." Her voice trembled.

"Can you please leave my cousin alone?"

Xie Linyuan did not reply to him, but turned and walked into the inner room.

"Guards, Qing soldiers!"

As soon as she finished speaking, two men in black pushed open the door and entered, heading towards Shen Ning.

"Miss Shen, please."

"Don't anger the prince, or your life will be in danger."

As Shen Ning watched Xie Linyuan's departing figure, she felt a pang of pain in her heart.

She was reborn, but the hurt from her past life was real.

Those memories were so real that she never wanted to experience them again in her life.

Yet it felt so profound, as if it had happened just yesterday.

"Miss Shen, please leave." The guard's voice rang out again.

Shen Ning clenched her fists and walked out of the room without looking back.

Upon arriving at the first floor of Wangjing Tower, they found Bai Zhi waiting anxiously.

"Miss, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"

Shen Ning shook her head. "It's nothing."

"Bai Zhi, did you see my second brother just now?"

Bai Zhi said, "This servant was just about to tell you."

"The second young master was beaten up by someone and is covered in injuries. He has been sent back to the manor. It seems he can't gamble now and will have to stay in bed for several months."

"Is it serious?"

"It looks quite serious."

Shen Ning sneered, "Serves you right! Getting beaten up is better than gambling every day and accumulating a mountain of debt. Good for you!"

"Miss is right."

"By the way, Miss, where is Young Master Ye?" Bai Zhi asked in a low voice.

Shen Ning shook her head and looked up at the top of Wangjing Tower.

"Let's go back to the Shen family first, and then try to send a message to our grandfather and ask him to save people."

"it is good."

Shen Ning and Bai Zhi quietly left Wangjing Tower, hired an inconspicuous carriage, and hurriedly returned to the Shen family.

As soon as they stepped into the Shen residence through the side gate, they saw a group of officials from the Yanjing government office carrying torches and searching for people everywhere.

As soon as Shen Ning appeared, a yamen runner shouted.

"My lord! Miss Shen is back!"

"Miss Shen has been found!"

Shen Ning's heart tightened, and a sense of unease instantly spread throughout her body.

She had only been gone for a few hours when someone reported her to the authorities; clearly, this was an attempt to ruin her reputation.
