Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family - Chapter 405 - Chapter 405: Chapter 405: Hidden Murderous Intent!

Chapter 405: Chapter 405: Hidden Murderous Intent!
He spoke with a bold and vigorous spirit, his eyes filled with sincerity!

“Now I’ve been a former Crown Prince for a long time. You can call me Elder Leisure!”

His words didn’t convince Liu Sisi at all; on the contrary, they made her even more fearful and flustered, waving her hands continuously.

“No, no, no… This is absolutely impossible! Sisi is already married and has children. How can she travel all over the place? This plan is definitely not feasible!”

Even if it could work, she wouldn’t dare trouble him!

It turned out to be the former Crown Prince himself! If she really relied on him and the news got out, she probably wouldn’t have a peaceful life in the future.

This was truly an unexpected misfortune!

She never intended to do such a thing, right?

“Hmph! That husband of yours who killed his mother and abandoned his wife?”

The former Crown Prince, Elder Leisure, snorted coldly, glaring, “What’s the use of keeping such a man? It would be better to divorce him directly, and I can help you find someone who is truly intimate. I guarantee you two will live happily together in harmony!” It was evident that he had no fondness for Di Yelei!

These words angered Liu Sisi!

Her face was full of fear and reverence, as she hurriedly bowed, “Your Highness, please do not mention this matter again. Sisi and Ye Lei’s love is as strong as metal, and I have already pledged my life to him alone, not to marry another. I beg Your Highness to take back your decree!”

He was nothing more than a former Crown Prince, and yet he was so overbearing!

An attendant carrying a tray approached, overhearing Liu Sisi’s words. The attendant was so frightened that their body shivered, their head almost buried in their chest, standing at the junction with trembling legs, not knowing whether to move on or retreat.

“Is this your true heart?”

Elder Leisure’s eyes narrowed slightly, his face disapproving. It was evident that he was annoyed by Liu Sisi for opposing him so openly, making him lose face.

The sound of such harsh words above her head made Liu Sisi shudder involuntarily.

But she had no choice but to grit her teeth and persist, “This is Sisi’s true heart. Our husband and wife are as strong as metal, our hearts connected. I beg Your Highness to take back your decree!”

“You dare to defy me, who gave you such courage! Do you really think I wouldn’t dare to kill you?”

The former Crown Prince suddenly scolded with a low roar!

An overwhelming pressure and murderous intent emanated from him, almost crushing Liu Sisi’s delicate body. One moment he spoke kindly, and the next he wanted to fight and kill, proving that being with a ruler is like being with a tiger!

“Your Highness, please forgive me! Please forgive this ignorant commoner who is unable to accept your grace. Please have pity!”

She forced herself to kneel on the spot, her head lowered without budging, immovable like a mountain, refusing to relent.

After a while, the pressure on her body suddenly eased, and Elder Leisure’s voice rose again.

“Fine! You remember what you said today. I would like to see how strong your love is, how connected your hearts are! Get up, the ground is cold, be careful of hurting your knees when you get older.” While speaking, he extended his hand again to help her up from the ground.

His words were calm, but they hid a deadly intent, making Liu Sisi’s heart sink.

“Thank you, Your Highness, for your mercy!”

Looking at the mud stains on her knees, Liu Sisi broke out in a cold sweat.

“Don’t worry! This is a mink fur long banner that I ordered for you some days ago. What’s more, the quality of this fur is very good, with an even color. Here, let me put it on you.” As he spoke, he took the mink fur long banner from the tray held by an attendant nearby, put it directly on her shoulders, and flicked off the accumulated snow on her shoulder.

With the fur on her body, even the cold was kept out, bringing warmth.

Liu Sisi didn’t refuse his kindness any longer and bowed in gratitude, “Thank you for your reward, Your Highness!”

Elder Leisure didn’t stop there. His gaze lingered on Liu Sisi’s face for a long time, as if recalling something through her. Finally, he picked a beautiful plum blossom from a nearby branch, observed it carefully for a moment, and then helped her insert it into her cloud bun.

Liu Sisi’s heart raced!

She knew she should refuse, she should make a move, but it was as if her feet were rooted to the ground, and she couldn’t move at all.

“So beautiful…”

After a while, he finally withdrew his hand from her cloud bun, sighed, and turned away, a forlorn look on his face.

“It’s a shame; you’re not her…”

“Huh? What are you talking about, Your Highness?”

Liu Sisi didn’t hear the words clearly and subconsciously asked.

“It’s nothing. I called you here just to see if you’re doing well. Now that I’ve seen you healthy, I can rest assured. You may go!”

Having said that, he waved at her, picked a plum blossom at random, and gradually walked into the depths of the plum grove, disappearing into the still falling, fluttering snow.

It was at this moment that Liu Sisi felt all her strength drained, and she could hardly stand upright.

He’d said that she could go back, but with all the plum trees around her, she didn’t know where to go!

However, she didn’t have to wander for long, as two maids appeared before her and bowed.

“Young Lady, please follow us two slaves. We are ordered to take you back.”

Liu Sisi breathed a sigh of relief – thankfully, someone had come to guide her!

Elder Leisure walked a long way before stopping, gazing at the broken plum branch in his hand, lost in thought for a long time.

Some things cannot be avoided just because you want to!

God is fair, and many things are destined from the moment you are born.

And you, Liu Sisi!

The daughter of the former king, do you still wish to live a peaceful life?

How could that be possible?

“Since you were so reluctant to part with her, why did you kill her at first?”

Suddenly, a cold male voice came from behind, causing him to turn around involuntarily. Sitting on a tall red plum tree was a familiar figure, staring coldly at him.

Upon seeing who it was, he couldn’t help but frown deeply, crushing the plum blossom in his hand and tossing it to the ground.

“Hmph! Must I teach you how to do things?”

“Hehe! You are the former Crown Prince, who would dare to teach you? However, don’t forget that she is your daughter after all! I advise you to keep those inappropriate thoughts to yourself, otherwise… Hmph!”

The figure fluttered down, revealing a sarcastic face, “Nan Tianzong, do you really think I wouldn’t dare to kill you? Even if I became childless, I can still make her child the heir, and inherit my Zhao Family’s empire!”

His eyes were filled with chilling malice and an intense killing intent.

Nan Tianzong visibly faltered, a fleeting sadness in his eyes as he looked up at the sky.

The snow in the sky grew heavier, covering everything like a blanket, making it difficult to see the other’s silhouette.
