The Princess Wei Yang

BaiZhi was stunned for a moment, found two bamboo sticks, got hold of a livescorpion, Li Wei Yang said softly: “Since you said that you are innocent, verywell, as long as you swallow this scorpion, I will believe in your innocenceand will surely get along with you in the future.”

LiChang Xi became pale, her whole body becoming stiff like a puppet.

ZhaoNan’s sword streak across her neck, no one spoke, all eyes are watching her,including Li Chang Xi’s Yatou, currently watching with a face full of fear.

Inthe house full of silence, the scorpion writhed suddenly with a “pada” sound,causing Li Chang Xi to jerk from the scare.

LiWei Yang smiled silently, Li Chang Xi’s entire body was trembling and creepingon the floor.

LiWei Yang slowly laughed and said: “Afraid? So it seems like the words you justsaid are insincere.”

LiChang Xi sobbed quietly, resentment flashed in her eyes but she stronglysuppressed it: “Sanjie, I know I am wrong, spare me!”

LiWei Yang smiled and said: “Either prove it to me or--” her gaze fell on the topof the cold blade.

LiChang Xi was shocked and said with gritting teeth: “You do not dare to killme!”

LiWei Yang’s expression was very strange: “Yes, I am very afraid, therefore I amprepared to let him pick apart your arms and legs, cut your tongue so that youcannot speak for the rest of your life!”

LiChang Xi looked at Li Wei Yang with a look of stark terror, she suddenlyunderstood that the other party is serious, there is not a trace of room fornegotiation! Zhao Nan’s sword moved, she said hurriedly: “I will prove it toyou!” Saying this, she hesitated in catching that scorpion, who knew that thescorpion would gently sway it head, scaring her into retracting her fingersimmediately, more tears falling. Finally, she stretched out two fingers onceagain, closed her eyes to go hold the scorpion. When her finger touched thatthing, her entire body trembled violently and she flung the scorpion far away!Then clung sobbingly to Li Wei Yang’s legs, crying out: “Sanjie have mercy!”

LiWei Yang was completely indifferent, there’s even a cruel smile on her face.Zhao Nan quickly raised her up, she struggled desperately, then both eyesrolling, fainted suddenly, a peculiar smell spreading throughout the entireroom.

BaiZhi took a look at Li Chang Xi’s skirt and then covered her nose, she hadthought that Wu Xiaojie had some courage! “Just an easily scared person!”

“Frightened?”Offending her over and over again, thought that it would finished just likethis, Li Wei Yang smiled, pointed to the Yatou at the side looking foropportunity to escape and said: “Where are you going!”

ThatYatou was shocked and tried to run for her life but was captured by Zhao Nan,unable to move, Zhao Nan pressed on her throat and raised her high, Li Wei Yangsmiled and said: “Swallow it!”

BaiZhi immediately threw the scorpion towards the Yatou’s mouth, her legs kickedstrongly in the air, trying to get rid of Zhao Nan’s hands. But those hands arelike clamp, unable to break free.The scorpion soon got into her mouth, stirringin between her lips and tongue, her hands waved furiously, gradually weakening,even the lips were turning into the same purple colour as the back of thescorpion. The poison entered and soon she stopped breathing.

ZhaoNan threw her aside, Li Wei Yang looked at her and said: “Leave no wound.”

ZhaoNan lowered his head and said: “Xiaojie rest assured.”

BaiZhi’s face is still a bit pale but soon she thought that if this scorpion hasbitten them, the ones who are dying now would be Xiaojie and her! Therefore, WuXiaojie and this evildoer abetting Yatou is not worthy of the slightestsympathy!

MoZhu glanced down at the unconscious Li Chang Xi on the floor and asked:“Xiaojie, what about her?”

LiWei Yang smiled slightly and said: “Zhao Nan, you should leave first, we willleave shortly.”

ZhaoNan nodded and quickly disappeared.

LiWei Yang whispered: “Strip off her clothes and let her soak half in the pool.”

BaiZhi and Mo Zhu glanced at each other, both understanding at the same time,immediately did as Li Wei Yang instructed, stripping Li Chang Xi of her clothesand then moved her to the pool but exposing half of her shining white bodyabove the water, after adjusting her posture, Li Wei Yang crooked her finger:“Let’s climb out through the window.”

BothYatous saw their Xiaojie gathered her skirt and quickly climbed out the window,then stood at the window looking at them: “Why aren’t you coming!”

BaiZhi was surprised and immediately ran over, Mo Zhu is also following behind,both Yatous have never done physical exercise, with much difficulty andspending a lot of efforts in order to climb out: “Xiaojie, what’s next?”

LiWei Yang smiled and said: “Let loose of your throat and scream! The louder thebetter!”

BaiZhi hasn’t even react yet, Mo Zhu is already screaming, that voice suddenlypiercing through the roof, going very far!

Thisroom is built next to the hot spring, besides it is are lush and green trees,earlier Li Chang Xi was waiting outside the window to see Li Wei Yang becomedisgraced in public, now the person watching and the unlucky person has beencompletely switched!

Uponthe screams, immediately a lot of people rushed in from outside of thecourtyard.

“Runquickly! Something must have happened!”

“It’sin the direction of the bath!”

“Quicklygo save people!”

Theanxious and alarmed voices that sounded genuine got closer and closer. Li WeiYang laughed coldly, sure enough, Li Chang Xi has arranged for a lot of peopleto come see a spectacle!

“XIaojie,Nucai is coming to save you!”

Thevoice of a guard came through, from the sound, the person is already at the doorof the house. Then a loud noise can be heard as if the entire door was brokenopen.

Thesounds of footsteps from a lot of people came, they all rushed into the bath!Li Wei Yang blinked her eyes, looking in through the crack of the window thatwas just closed and saw that there were seven-eight guards that ran to thefront, and they have never imagined that inside there is a scorpion, the deadbody of a Yatou and an undressed Wu Xiaojie soaking in the pool.

Behindthe guards, are Da Furen and Li Chang Xiao who rushed over after receivingnews, Da Furen seeing the situation, flew into a rage: “Who let you in?!”

Theguards then reacted and hastened to retreat.

LiChang Xiao couldn’t help but fainted, over, it’s all over!

LiWei Yang smiled slightly and said quietly: “Let’s go.”

Thisgood show, presumably Da Furen will be satisfied with it.

DaFuren made every effort to suppress this incident and then sent people todetain the eight guards who rashly rushed in, saying that they need to wait forLaoye to return and deal with it, but one want to control, the rumours fly likethey sprout wings, soon, the scorpions that Da Furen uses a medical supplementshave been accidentally let loose by someone then they ran into the bath, WuXiaojie fainted from fright on the spot, scorpions have bit a Yatou to death,when the guards run into the bath, Wu Xiaojie did not dressed on time, the newsof the moment blow up has spreaded...

SiYiniang stormed angrily into Da Furen’s courtyard, wailing loudly upon entry,causing Da Furen to frown: “What are you howling about! Blame her for beingcareless! Why don’t you go and see her!”

SiYiniang did not dare to say a word again and quickly pull Li Chang Xiao to gosee Li Chang Xi. Since fainting in the bath, she has not yet awaken.

LiWei Yang was walking in the corridor and saw Si Yiniang staggering forward,smiled slightly and said: “Si Yiniang is going to see Wu Mei?”

SiYiniang glanced at her, she couldn’t help gnashed her teeth and said: “Thiscourtyard has all kinds of snakes, worms, rats and ants, right now it is mydaughter, soon it will be you, San Xiaojie, you should be more careful!” LiChang Xi’s plan was not told to anyone, therefore Si Yiniang thought that itwas all planned by Da Furen, after all that scorpion is for Da Furen’s medicinethus entered into the garden, how could it have ended up in the bath? Where inthe world is there such easy thing! Si Yiniang walked forward fuming, Li WeiYang smiled.

SiYiniang, seeming as if she has cried all the way, entered the room, uponentering, a Yatou said: “Yiniang, Wu Xiaojie has just woke up! However, howevershe...”

“Awakeis good!” Si Yiniang was overjoyed. Even though she knows that Li Chang Xi’sface and reputation has been ruined for the rest of her life, but she is stillafter all her daughter, now she is not asking for anything else, just that herlife is safe that she forgot to pay attention to the Yatou who looks like shewant to say something but is having second thoughts.

Butthe weird thing happened just at this time, when Si Yiniang entered the room,she oddly discovered Li Chang Xi is actually sitting barefoot in front of thedresser, Si Yiniang immediately turned angry and turned to the Yatou, the Yatouflinched: “Nubi simply cannot control Xiaojie, after putting on the shoes, shediscard them!”

Justafter she finished saying this, she was cut off by Li Chang Xi’sclear voice: “Mother, you came, take a lookto see if I am beautiful!”

Severalpeople heard these strange words and looked at each other.

LiChang Xi also refused to turn around, she faced the mirror carefully andthoroughly applying the duck egg powder on her face and neck, not daring to doit carelessly, after applying the powder, both hands groped about on the tablefor a bit, as if holding a precious treasure, picked up a dai (a black pigment used by women to paint their eyebrows) marker,then carefully drew on her face.

“ChangXi, what is this?” Si Yiniang hurriedly grabbed her daughter, Li Chang Xisuddenly turned back, because of the unusually white makeup and thick blackeyebrows, her face looked particularly horrifying, Si Yiniang said unhappily:“Snap out of it!”

LiChang Xi ignored her, just giggled and turned around, “Sijie, come and take alook for me, the hair on this side seems a bit crude, pour me some rose oil...”

“ChangXi, what is wrong with you!” Si Yiniang is getting nervous because she discoverthat Li Chang Xi’s expression is serious, no, it’s too serious! She clenchedher hands and forced herself to calm down, then trembling, raised her hand,pointing at Li Chang Xiao and said: “Come, help your sister!”

LiChang Xiao immediately went and grabbed Li Chang Xi but she suddenly brokefree, Si Yiniang could no longer bear this strange incident and screamed: “You,go catch Xioajie together!”

Afew Yatous, as ordered, went over to outflank her, grasping hands and feet, butat this time Li Chang Xi suddenly let out a strange howl that only beasts canmake and struggled.

Everyonebecame dumbfounded, Si Yiniang shouted: “Hold her! Get a daifu quickly! Get adaifu immediately! Heavens!”

LiChang Xiao was terrified to find out, even though her sister is headstrongbefore, she would forget that she is a lady and even more, would not revealsuch crazy look, she struggled desperately, even to the point of biting,headbutting, kicking, pulling; she frantically resist letting anyone get close,finally grinning with white teeth, bit fiercely into Li Chang Xiao’s wrist, LiChang Xiao exclaimed in shock and retreat a couple of steps, looked at her leftwrist, dripping with blood, the bones are faintly visible, Si Yiniang screamed:“My daughter ah! How could you have become like this!”

LiChang Xi shrieked: “Get lost! Get lost! Everyone get lost!”

Thosewaiting in attendance outside saw Si Yiniang stumbled out, half running, halfscreaming: “Someone! Help! She’s gone crazy, she’s gone crazy ah---”

In aroom, Da Furen was talking to Li Wei Yang: “Ai, I don’t even know whatmisfortune we fell on last night, it was all fine but the scorpion escaped,even escaping into the bath, not mentioning it scaring Chang Xi, evenattracting so many guards, your sister’s reputation, this time has beencompletely destroyed!”

LiWei Yang smiled and said: “Mother, this is the fate of people.”

DaFuren did not thought that she would say this, couldn’t help but be speechlessfor a moment then said: “Luckily it was not you in the bath.”

LiWei Yang smiled faintly, glanced Du Mama with the lowered head not far away andsaid: “Yes, this daughter is lucky, more importantly it is Mother protectingme.”

DaFuren hearing this, somehow felts that this is not a good meaning, changed thetopic and said: “In your opinion, how should the guards from last night bedealt with?”

LiWei Yang said lightly: “All of this should naturally be reported to Father andsee how he deal with it.”

DaFuren sighed: “Your father has been staying at another courtyard these past fewdays, I already send someone, not sure when he will return, just keep lockingup those people is not a good thing either.”

LiWei Yang took a sip of tea, then said leisurely: “Hmm, Father is still at JiuYiniang’s place?”

DaFuren’s face became livid, then strongly suppressed the sudden pain in herheart, smiled and said: “Yes, I heard that your Jiu Yiniang is pregnant.”

“Oh,I hope so this time, it would be good if Jiu Yiniang gives birth to a littlebrother.” Li Wei Yang’s smile was very gentle.

DaFuren is so angry her nose is crooked, almost unable to speak. She didn’t thinkthat Li Wei Yang would constantly blocked her, making her unhappy, she couldn’twait to cast this girl out, but thinking of... she held back this attitude andsaid: “Come to speak of it, our house is low on men, your father has alwaysbeen hoping for more sons. I have always been persuading him to go visit theother Yiniangs’ room more but it’s a pity that he only favour that one.”

LiWei Yang smiled and said: “Who Father like is up to him, mother, you should bemore magnanimous.”

Hitby that wave of dull pain, Da Furen seems like she almost could not sit still,just as she was about to see her out, she suddenly saw Si Yiniang running indesperately: “Help! She’s gone crazy! She’s gone crazy ah!”

DaFuren’s face sank and wanted to bawl.

“Giveit back! Give it to me quickly!” Li Chang Xi suddenly hurled herself crazilyinto the room, howling madly, throwing off several Yatous behind her.

WhenLi Chang Xi entered, she immediately saw Li Wei Yang, then rushed over: “It’sbecause of you... it’s because of you! It is irreconcilable between you and I!”

ZhaoYue quickly guarded Li Wei Yang, Li Chang Xi was immediately pushed out by aslap and suddenly fell on the ground, she looked at Zhao Yue and then at Li WeiYang, as if suddenly recalling something, an incomparable horror appearing inher eyes.

Li WeiYang watched faintly, there are times when a crazy is clear-headed, at leastshe can recognize herself.

Thechasing Yatous did not dare to enter the house, standing helplessly at thedoor, a Mama turned her head: “Quickly report to Laoye, Wu Xiaojie has reallybecame crazy!”

LiChang Xi climbed up from the ground, saw Da Furen and immediately rushed over:“Save me! Save me! Save me!”

DaFuren frowned and asked Si Yiniang: “What is wrong with her?”

SiYiniang’s face is full of fright, she is already unable to give considerationthat Li Chang Xi is her daughter, she just feels very afraid.

LiChang Xi shouted furiously: “She, she want to kill me! She want to kill me!”

Sheis half saying this, half looking around at each person desperately, as if shecan’t differentiate who is who.

DaFuren’s face is not good: “How did she becomes this way!”

LiWei Yang said lightly: “Mother, Wu Mei was first frightened by the scorpionthen by the group of heavily armed guards.”

Acouple of Yatous came to grab onto Li Chang Xi’s arms...

LiChang Xi struggled desperately: “No, no, I wouldn’t leave!” Then she threwherself down at Da Furen’s feet, clutching her skirt tightly.

SiYiniang is impatient.

LiChang Xi is mentally deranged then she suddenly laughed: “I saw...guess what Isaw?”

Dafuren sneered and then glancing at Li Wei Yang, lowered her head and saidsoftly: “Good child, tell me, what did you see?”

LiChang Xi opened her eyes wide, the white powder on her face falling, revealinga grisly scar: “Scorpions, scorpions, lots of scorpions, lots and lots ofscorpions...very scary...she want me to eat it...eat all of it...hahahahahaha!”

Youcan’t hear anything out of these crazy words and speech, Da Furen’s eyebrowswrinkled tightly: “You there, make haste and take her away!”

Justat this moment, Li Chang Xi suddenly jumped up: “Scorpion, scorpion ah!” Thenher face showing a fierce look, her expression becoming more savage, Da Furenoriginally hoped that she would be able to get something by asking but shenever thought that Li Chang Xi would suddenly go berserk, even letting out aloud shout and suddenly rushed at her.

DaFuren did not even have time to escape, howled shrilly, suddenly covering herleft ear then both of her eyes rolled and fainted away.

LiChang Xi actually bitten off Da Furen’s ear!

Today,Da Furen was wearing a gold phoenix earring, Li Chang Xi has lost her mind, sheactually thought that the phoenix tail looks like a raised scorpion tail, shesuddenly rushed over and bit of Da Furen’s left ear. Then she spat out the earand turned towards Si Yiniang! Si Yiniang screamed and fell on the ground,crawling outside: “Catch her quickly! Catch her quickly!”

Theroom became chaotic, with only Li Wei Yang firmly standing in her originalspot, watching the play with a smile.

BaiZhi watched from the side, only finding it horrifying, but even though Li ChangXi is not crazy, she has thoroughly bring ruin upon herself, perhaps this is,the so-called net of Heaven has large meshes but it lets nothing through¹.
