Reborn as the Crippled King's Beloved-Chapter 164 - Someone was cheated by you physically and mentally

Chapter 164 -164 Someone was cheated by you physically and mentally

Wang Baozhu waited left and right, finally, it was almost time for the court to convene.

The outside was already crowded with people coming to watch the excitement, each one of them pointing at her and sneering with looks of mockery.

“Shameless, really! Yesterday, many people saw her hugging and embracing the Western Region Prince, yet today, she wants to sue him for deceiving her into losing her virginity!”

“Indeed! Her own mother is to be beheaded after autumn, yet she thinks about climbing higher, attaching herself to a dragon or a phoenix!”

“Yesterday, many heard her say she and Kesi were in love and intended to marry no one else. General Fu advised against it, but she didn’t listen and kept hugging and embracing Kesi. The Western Region Prince, however, is heartless—he vanished in the chaos without a trace, probably disgusted at being associated with her. After all, she’s not the treasure of the General’s Mansion anymore, but a wicked woman born of Lady Wang and the steward’s affair!”

“She really got what she deserved! Yesterday, General Fu and his people protected her, yet she kept saying they were thwarting their love! Thank goodness she’s not really General Fu’s daughter, or she would have angered him to death with her rebellious behavior!”

“Princess Consort Ling is truly admirable. Yesterday, I was close enough to see her stunning beauty—she makes the mythical Chang’e feel inferior! Recently, when the price of rice rose in Capital City, only the rice shops owned by Princess Consort Ling didn’t raise their prices at all! If that’s not a living Bodhisattva, I don’t know what is!”

“Indeed! Ah, Princess Consort Ling was truly pitiful before. That Lady Wang was so ruthless, indeed, assigning her a horoscope that alienated her relatives, and letting the manor’s servants beat and scold her. Luckily, she’s blessed with great fortune to have her current good life!”

“Yes! Now look at Wang Baozhu, clearly raised like a precious young lady, yet she lacks the grace of Princess Consort Ling! By ending up in such a state, she truly brought it upon herself!”

These undisguised, scornful voices reached Wang Baozhu’s ears, making her teeth itch with hatred.

Back then, who would have dared speak to her like this?

Countless people only sought to flatter her!

But she dared not speak up, afraid of being pelted with rotten eggs and spoiled vegetables like yesterday.

The clothes from yesterday were still unclean, and she was wearing the coarse clothes of Mother Niu.

“Oh, look here, isn’t this Miss Fu? How come you’ve become so pitiful?”

Just then, a luxurious sedan passed by on the main road in front of the Prefecture Yamen, from which giggles could be heard.

Wang Baozhu’s body shook, and she instinctively lowered her head, not wanting anyone to see her in this state.

The speaker was none other than Chen Zhaorong, her nemesis in the social circles of Capital City.

In the past, she had relied on her status to look down on Chen Zhaorong, often mocking her attire as that of a nouveau riche unfamiliar with the high society.

“Zhaorong, look at your memory. She has already been kicked out of the Fu family tree. Her biological father is a steward named Wang, and she’s changed her surname to Wang Baozhu; you’d better not get it wrong in the future.”

Another mocking voice came from the sedan.

Then, several girls dressed in dazzling jewels descended from the carriage, looking imposing amidst the shimmer of golden hairpins and jade rings.

They were all ladies of official families who had been ridiculed by Wang Baozhu in the past, and now they had come together to kick her while she was down.

After all, such an opportunity was rare, and of course, they had to seize it.

The ladies felt exhilarated, previously oppressed by Wang Baozhu to the point of being unable to lift their heads, and now the one ashamed was Wang Baozhu. Even if their own jewelry was a bit tacky, it was still beyond what Wang Baozhu could afford.

The servants pushed through the crowd, letting the ladies enter.

Chen Zhaorong, with a smile, pulled out a purse from her sleeve.

“Wang Baozhu, we were acquainted before. Bow and admit your wrongs to me, and I’ll generously let go of the past. How about that? This purse full of silver can help you out in your time of need.”

The purse looked heavy and full, containing at least a hundred or so silver ingots. Wang Baozhu was penniless now, unable to even afford a bun this morning.

She certainly wanted it.

But she didn’t feel she had been cornered yet, so she still had a strong sense of pride. She glared at Chen Zhaorong and swatted the purse to the ground, causing the silver ingots to scatter everywhere.

“Chen Zhaorong, I have always been one step ahead of you, and it will be the same in the future! Once I become the Princess Consort of the Western Regions, I’ll make you regret it!”

Chen Zhaorong and the sisters around her burst into laughter at these words, looking at Wang Baozhu as if they were looking at a fool.

“Then I’ll just wait for you to become the Princess of the Western Regions! Don’t let us sisters down!”

After that, the group of women left, laughing. Before leaving, Chen Zhaorong said to the people around, “Since the future Princess Consort of the Western Regions despises these silver pieces, whoever picks them up can keep them.”

As soon as she said this, the crowd immediately began scrambling for the silver ingots, some laughing at Wang Baozhu as a fool who couldn’t even afford clothes, yet refused Miss Chen’s silver.

Others laughed at Wang Baozhu for her declaration of becoming the Princess Consort of the Western Regions.

Little did they know, Wang Baozhu’s words had also been overheard by Na Kesi in a nearby teahouse.

“This woman is truly foolish and self-absorbed, Your Highness, you did the right thing by pulling out in time!”

The guard by Na Kesi’s side spoke angrily.

Na Kesi snorted coldly, causing the wounds at the corner of his mouth to stretch and making him hiss in pain.

A handsome prince had his face marred by wounds that looked even worse after one night, patches of purple and blue scattered across.

The three brothers, Fu Heng, all had martial arts skills. Fu San looked like a scholar but struck without mercy, hitting harder than anyone else.

At that time, Na Kesi thought about letting them vent through a beating, thinking that it would make it easier to ask for a decree to marry Fu Baozhu, and possibly earn some sympathy from the Emperor of Great Yan, so he did not fight back then.

But who could have known, the situation took a sharp turn. Not only did his plans come to nothing, but he also got entangled with Fu Baozhu, that foolish woman!

At the time, no one could have imagined that the daughter General Fu cherished was not his biological child but the daughter of his enemy!

“The gates of the Prefecture Yamen are open! Your Highness, let’s go in!”

A group of guards from the Western Regions escorted Na Kesi to the Prefecture Yamen.

Wang Baozhu was also entering, and when she saw Na Kesi, her eyes suddenly brightened, then she displayed a look of grievance:

“Na Kesi, your heart is so cruel. You took advantage of my innocence, and now you turn your face away and deny knowing me; were all those sweet nothings just lies?”

“Nonsense!”

Na Kesi strode into the hall, and loudly said to Lord Xu Darong, who was sitting at the top:

“Lord Xu, Wang Baozhu is spouting utter nonsense; it was clearly her who seduced me first. How can it be twisted into me deceiving her? She’s a born liar! I have letters to prove it!”

…

Letters?

Behind the scenes in the hall where Murong Jiu was enjoying pastries and sipping tea, she stopped mid-bite and looked at Jun Yuyan with sparkling eyes.

She was merely there to enjoy the spectacle, but didn’t want to squeeze into the crowd. Unexpectedly, Jun Yuyan saw through her intentions, and before the court session began, Lord Xu personally led them through the back door.
