Chapter 14: The Flower-Picking Thief (3)
In every corner of the Minister's Residence, maidservants lay on the ground, all having been knocked out with a sleeping incense. And those guards with profound internal energy had their acupoints sealed, one by one. A group of men in black, who had appeared from nowhere, held blades to their necks. They couldn't move anything but their eyeballs.
And the leader of the men in black strolled brazenly into the back garden, heading straight for the Young Miss Sun's virginity.
That night, groans of unbearable pain sounded continuously from Sun Jiaojiao's chambers. Everyone outside heard them clearly, but they were helpless.
Xiao Er, desperate to save his mistress, his heart burning with anxiety, risked deviating his cultivation by forcefully mobilizing the true qi in his dantian, trying to break the seal on his acupoints.
He was drenched in sweat, but the more anxious he became, the less he could concentrate and successfully break the seal. Especially as Sun Jiaojiao's wanton cries crested, one wave higher than the next, his entire heart was collapsing...
Inside the room.
Sun Jiaojiao was thrown roughly onto the bed, which basically sobered her up completely.
She shot the man a resentful glare and began to seriously consider her current predicament.
He hadn't been gentle at all, so he definitely wasn't in a good mood. His attitude and expression were arrogant, not at all like the perverts she had seen before. This meant he wasn't here to "pick" her because she was so attractive, but for some other purpose. And what's more, not only did he not use any low-life methods like aphrodisiacs, but after holding her, he had even taken out a white handkerchief and wiped his hands disdainfully, over and over...
Sun Jiaojiao sighed.
So picky and germaphobic. Can't you be a little more professional? At a glance, you can tell he's not a proper flower thief.
Hmph! In a moment, we'll see who's picking whom!
Just as her thoughts were running wild, Sun Jiaojiao's peripheral vision caught sight of a hidden pattern on the handkerchief in the man's hand—a dragon motif?! He was actually using a handkerchief embroidered with a dragon motif?
In this world, what Flower-Picking Thief would dare to use a handkerchief embroidered with a dragon motif? Unless he was...
This thought made Sun Jiaojiao shiver.
She was starting to regret that in all her days since transmigrating, she had just been eating and waiting for death, and hadn't bothered to find out more about the background of this era...
But that didn't matter. Process of elimination! The old Emperor would never be so bored as to leave the palace to "pick" a Minister's daughter. Among the imperial family, the only one who would make such a big fuss and come to the Minister's Residence to "pick" her... Sun Jiaojiao thought about it. It could only be her recently-annulled ex-fiancé, His Highness the Crown Prince.
The more Sun Jiaojiao looked at the man in black, the more certain she became of her guess.
If it really was the Crown Prince, this was bad!
She had just annulled their engagement, and now he came to pick her. What was this? This was blatant revenge!
It's over, it's over, it's over. As expected, no one in the imperial family was a saint. They were all ruthless, petty, and cruel characters, not even sparing a weak, unarmed woman like her.
She was in a panic, wondering what to do, when suddenly, the man in black flipped open Sun Jiaojiao's gauze robe and squeezed her snow-white softness hard. He squeezed her so painfully that she couldn't help but let out a delicate, soul-stealing "Aiya!"
Hearing her cry, the man in black snorted, his voice full of disdain. "I never thought Minister Sun, who appears so righteous and incorruptible, would raise such a wanton daughter."
That arrogant tone completely convinced Sun Jiaojiao that this man in black was the Crown Prince.
An ordinary flower thief would just 'pick' and be done with it. But this Crown Prince... it wasn't enough to just 'pick' her. She had to extinguish the anger in his heart. Otherwise, given his petty nature—making a special trip to her residence to cause trouble just because the engagement was annulled—who knew how he would make trouble for the Sun family in the future?
Although Sun Jiaojiao was usually a bit wild, she never fumbled at critical moments. Her mind spun rapidly. She immediately put on the appearance of a chaste and virtuous maiden, spitting at him with shame and anger:
"Insolent cur! How dare you speak such filth! If you dare to touch another finger to me today, I will immediately bite my tongue and kill myself. I will never let you disgrace the Sun family's name! Moreover, for the sake of His Highness the Crown Prince's honor, I would rather die than be shamed by a Flower-Picking Thief like you!"
"Hmph. Everyone knows the Crown Prince annulled his engagement with you. What does it matter if I shame you?"
Sun Jiaojiao sighed. This Crown Prince was indeed an arrogant one. She was clearly the one who had annulled his engagement...
But that wasn't the point!
She puffed out her chest and said heroically, "A scholar can be killed, but not insulted. My father has always hung the words 'Loyal to the Sovereign' in our main hall. As the Young Miss of the Sun family, I am loyal to the imperial family. Even if the engagement was annulled, even if I die, I will..."
Even she herself trembled as she spoke this nonsense.
However, the man did not give her the chance to continue her "loyalty" act. The next second, she heard the man in black laugh coldly. "What loyalty! I'd like to see if you still remember how to write the word 'loyal' when you're moaning and begging for it under me!"
With that, he forcibly stuffed a pill into Sun Jiaojiao's mouth.
Sun Jiaojiao almost choked to death on the pill.
It's over, it's over.
Why did she have to jinx herself? Don't tell me she was just fed an aphrodisiac?
