Chapter 163 -163: Marrying into the Western Regions? A Fool’s Dream

Wang Baozhu was extremely hungry and ate quickly, but having been taught etiquette since childhood, she was not rude even in her haste.

Niu Tianbao stared at her face, growing fonder the more he looked. She was a daughter of wealth, someone he wasn’t even qualified to carry shoes for in the past, yet now she had fallen to the status of a reviled illegitimate daughter, eating the food he bought and wearing his mother’s old clothes in his small courtyard.

Her skin was delicate and tender beneath the coarse sackcloth, with traces of bruising still visible.

Niu Tianbao squinted his sleazy little eyes, a lewd glint flashing through them.

He couldn’t help but blurt out, “Miss Baozhu, it seems you had quite a wild time with the Western Region Prince last night; even the marks he left on your neck are visible. Was the prince’s ‘endowment’ particularly impressive?”

Wang Baozhu’s face turned red with rage, “Who allowed you, you dog of a servant, to spout such nonsense in front of me! Keep looking, and I’ll gouge out your eyes!”

Seeing that half of the food on the table had been eaten, especially the bowl of soup that Wang Baozhu had almost finished, Niu Tianbao grew bolder. He reached out his salacious hand towards Wang Baozhu’s face.

“Why be so fierce, Miss? After tasting a man from the Western Regions, you should also try the vigor of a Central Plains man. I can satisfy you very well!”

He smiled, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth; the stench from his mouth was even worse than the smell of the rotten eggs previously on Wang Baozhu.

Ordinary commoners do not have the noble’s habit of brushing their teeth!

Wang Baozhu punched him straight away. Niu Tianbao, who was just a good-for-nothing drunkard, couldn’t dodge in time. Struck by the punch, he fell to the ground, spinning in confusion.

Wang Baozhu tried to run outside, but the drug started to take effect, making her body weak. She forced herself to crawl toward the door. It took Niu Tianbao quite a while to recover, and just as Wang Baozhu was about to crawl out the door, he shouted loudly, and his parents ran out, dragging Wang Baozhu back in.

Bang!

The door closed tightly!

Despair written on her face, Wang Baozhu cursed, “What do you think you’re doing! My father is General Fu! My three brothers are formidable and valiant! They will come to save me! You lowly servant, don’t delude yourself into thinking you can touch me!”

Niu Tianbao managed to get up from the floor and slapped Wang Baozhu across the face.

“You think I don’t know that you’re an unwanted wretch? I call you miss as a matter of taste, yet you really believe I consider you a lady? Wench! How dare you hit me, I’ll show you tonight!”

“Stop! Stop it! The Western Region Prince Na Kesi is my man, if you dare touch me, he’ll kill you!” cried Wang Baozhu.

On hearing this, Niu Tianbao did feel a bit frightened.

But as he glimpsed Wang Baozhu’s fair skin during her attempt to break free, his eyes reddened with lust. He simply removed his stinky sock and stuffed it in Wang Baozhu’s mouth, silencing her words, and tied her hands as well.

Even if the King of Heaven came today, he wouldn’t stop him from having his way with the daughter of wealth!

Mmmph! Mmmph! Mmmph!

Wang Baozhu struggled with all her might, but to no avail. The effects of the vile drug began to take hold, and she gradually lost the strength to struggle.

But the stench from Niu Tianbao’s sock was so overpowering, it paradoxically kept her conscious.

At that moment, she was filled with immense regret, tears streaming down unchecked.

In the past, if someone as much as touched her hand and took advantage, the next day her brothers would inform her that person’s hand had been broken, never to dare show up in front of her again.

She took for granted the protection from her father and brothers.

She never felt that her father and brothers were exceptionally good to her; it seemed only natural, until now, when she realized how happy she was to have her brothers’ protection.

Before today, she would never have dreamed that she could be overpowered by an ugly, licentious lowlife.

She was filled with remorse, remembering how her brothers had appeared like demigods that morning, beating Na Kesi until he was bloodied, having the maid dress her, and protecting her at the back.

She had not cherished their care, insisting she and Na Kesi were truly in love, and rejected her brothers’ kindness, leaving them utterly disappointed.

She brought this lowliness upon herself!

How wonderful it would have been if Murong Jiu had died early!

Then no one in this world would know that she was not their real birth child, and they wouldn’t have broken ties with her over Murong Jiu!

Murong Jiu!

It was all Murong Jiu’s fault!

Why wouldn’t she just go and die!

The more Wang Baozhu suffered, the more she hated Murong Jiu.

She used to be the treasured daughter of the General’s Mansion, but it was Murong Jiu’s emergence that created a crisis for her, leading her to seduce Na Kesi and ultimately to this tragic consequence!

She hated, oh how she hated, that Lady Wang had not strangled Murong Jiu in the cradle!

If they had replaced her identity, why didn’t they just make it permanent!

Why did they let her fall from the heavens into the mud!

In the end, Wang Baozhu had only one belief: that she would also ruin Murong Jiu’s reputation and use her as a stepping stone!

She hadn’t slept all night, while Niu Tianbao beside her was snoring loudly in his deep sleep.

Niu Tianbao had also taken some medicine, which allowed him a night of vigor, but now he was so exhausted that not even thunder could awaken him.

The rope tied on her hand had already loosened, and the foul sock that had been in Wang Baozhu’s mouth had been taken out by her. She clutched the hemp rope tightly, wanting to strangle Niu Tianbao to death.

But she was afraid of being involved in a murder case. If she really killed Niu Tianbao, she would never be able to leave Capital City again and would have to spend her life in jail.

If she wanted him to die, it had to be done quietly, with no evidence to be found!

A vicious glint appeared in Wang Baozhu’s eyes.

She put on her clothes full of hate, but could not cover the marks on her neck and hands; there was no rouge to conceal them here.

Eventually, she found a piece of rag and wrapped it around her neck, quickly opening the door and running out as soon as she heard no sound in the courtyard.

She ran breathlessly for a long time before finally reaching the entrance to the Prefecture Yamen and let out a sigh of relief.

Today, Lord Xu would surely rule that Na Kesi had to take responsibility for her. As for what happened last night, she would treat it as if she had been bitten by a dog; no one would know!

She wanted to be the Princess Consort of the Western Regions, to live a life of luxury, and after gaining her own confidants, she would resolve the matter of Niu Tianbao and his family. And Murong Jiu, she would definitely ruin Murong Jiu!

She did not know that the moment she ran out of Niu Tianbao’s courtyard, a Hidden Guard from Prince Ling’s Mansion had already reported to Jun Yuyan.

At that moment, Jun Yuyan was practicing swordsmanship in the Prince Mansion’s training ground, and beside him was Xiao Wen, who had grown a lot taller. Dressed in training attire, Xiao Wen was squatting in a horse stance, his forehead covered with sweat but his expression resolute, showing no signs of impatience.

Xiao Wen was extremely diligent; he studied and memorized characters during the day, memorized medical books when he could, helped Divine Doctor Zhai dry medicinal herbs, sorted herbs, and had martial arts masters specifically invited by Jun Yuyan to train him in the mornings and evenings to lay his foundation.

This was not something Jun Yuyan and Murong Jiu had arranged for him; he was strictly disciplining himself at a young age, wanting to grow up and protect Murong Jiu.

“Find an opportunity to reveal the marks on her neck,”

Jun Yuyan instructed the Hidden Guard in a low voice.

Wang Baozhu’s dream of going to the Western Regions was a fool’s dream.

Having replaced Ah Jiu for sixteen years and making her suffer so much, now let her endure the kind of suffering that no human should bear for the many years to come!
