Chapter 212: Chapter 212:1 Hate You
Translator: 549690339
“I am, after all, Wenzan and Lingzi’s father.”
“Beasts do not deserve to be fathers.”
“I…” Li Hongyuan took a deep breath, reaching his limit, grinding his teeth and said, “Do you think that I treated you like that just to bully you?”
“Drunken debauchery—how can you call yourself a gentleman?”
“What happened last night was indeed my fault. But now that things have come to this, what can I do for you to let go of your anger?”
“Don’t ever appear in front of me again.”
“This prince cannot comply.”
“You—”
Jiang Ning was red in the eye, her voice sounding hoarse, “I hate you.”
Li Hongyuan frowned, “I was wrong last night, don’t cry anymore. I won’t be like this in the future.”
“I don’t believe you!”
At this moment, footsteps could be heard outside in the courtyard.
The sky was gradually lightening.
In a little while, Huang Ying and Chunlai would be coming in.
Jiang Ning was getting a little anxious, “Why aren’t you leaving yet!”
“Aren’t you the one who wants to kill me? Do you really want to let me go?”
“Get out of here!”
“Fine, I’ll leave.”
Li Hongyuan turned and walked towards the door. When he reached the doorway, he looked back, “I wasn’t aware when you were pregnant last time, but I will never forget what happened last night. Since you’ve become my woman, you can only be mine in this life.”
“Get out.”
Li Hongyuan’s eyebrows twitched slightly, and he left.
The cleaning ladies in the courtyard were startled when they saw him coming out of Jiang Ning’s room.
Huang Ying came over with some water and saw the bloody stain on Li Hongyuan’s hand covering his neck. She hurriedly approached and said, “Your Highness, are you feeling unwell? Let’s go to the side room, and I’ll get you some medicine.”
Letting him simply leave like this would soon mean that everyone in Jiang’s mansion would know that Prince Yu came out of Seventh Miss’s room with an injury.
No matter what the relationship was between them, daring to wound Prince Yu was no small matter.
And what was happening in the bedroom between the two of them early in the morning?
It would be hard to avoid arousing suspicion.
Huang Ying wouldn’t let him go that easily.
Li Hongyuan also knew the situation and followed her to the side room, where he dealt with the injury on his neck. Once it was covered by a cape, it was mostly concealed.
“Your Highness, are you feeling better?” Huang Ying inquired.
“It’s fine.” Li Hongyuan stood up, “You go check on Jiang Ning, she might be feeling unwell.”
Although he had taken advantage of her while intoxicated last night, he was well aware that he’d treated her quite roughly.
He had tasted the delights of her body and was overly indulging himself.
This morning, seeing the many bruises on her body, he couldn’t help but feel guilty when he recalled the night before.
Hearing his words, Huang Ying sighed and guessed the situation somewhat. After sending him out of the courtyard, she hurried back to Jiang Ning’s room, immediately noticing the hairpin with bloodstains on the floor.
Jiang Ning was sitting in her wheelchair, draped in long hair, lost in thought as she looked out the window.
“Miss,” Huang Ying put down the basin and walked in front of her. At a glance, she saw the suspicious color on the exposed part of Jiang Ning’s neck and collarbone.
This was just the visible part; the hidden parts were probably even worse.
It was truly excessive.
Huang Ying cursed Prince Yu in her heart, then helped Jiang Ning and said, “Miss, let me have someone heat up a bucket of water for you to wash. Your body will feel more comfortable.”
Jiang Ning looked at her, “Is he gone?”
Her voice was calm.
“I’ve applied medicine to His Highness and sent him away,” Huang Ying said softly, “Miss, how about letting me stay with you at night? It’s all my fault for sleeping so soundly last night. I didn’t know what happened in your room.”
“It’s not your fault.”
“Miss, would you like to take a bath?”
