Reborn to Become A Queen: The Real Heiress's Comeback-Chapter 417 Zhan Xuerou Is Threatened

Zhan Xuerou walked step by step toward Si Jun.

Si Jun stared at her after the bath. Although Zhan Xuerou looked a bit haggard, she still maintained an appearance that elicited pity.

Si Jun recalled her initial kindness and also her selfish and vain side.

He also remembered how Zhan Xuerou intended to escape him when he most needed her.

The sincerity Zhan Xuerou once had vanished into nothingness. She was merely a woman who could share happiness but not hardships, so Si Jun’s love for her had long faded away.

In Si Jun’s heart, anyone disloyal to him deserves to die!

They only deserve to be used by others!

Si Jun said coldly, "Don’t you want my divorce letter? As long as you do one thing for me, I can give it to you!"

Zhan Xuerou concealed her inner joy, lowered her eyes to Si Jun’s boots, and replied, "Prince, please give your command."

Si Jun stood up, lowered his voice, and whispered something in Zhan Xuerou’s ear. Her pupils widened in disbelief as she looked at Si Jun.

Si Jun took out a divorce letter from his arms and said indifferently, "Remember, you must do as I say for me to give you this letter. If you dare to run, you know my methods. I’ll break your legs."

He spoke with an eerie look, "Zhan Xuerou, do you know, in the dilapidated temples outside the city, there are beggars living every day, dirty and foul, infested with lice? If you fail to complete the task, I’ll personally deliver you to them!"

Si Jun knew Zhan Xuerou too well. She viewed herself as the most beautiful in the world.

If she had to submit to beggars, it would be more painful than death for her.

Zhan Xuerou’s pupils quivered. She had thought Si Jun would immediately give her the letter, but she hadn’t expected Si Jun to threaten her this way.

She had loved Si Jun for years, but at this moment, she completely saw through his true colors.

He was a wolf in sheep’s clothing, utterly ruthless!

She regretted not seeing through this man’s true nature years ago!

With her looks, what kind of man couldn’t she find? She thought she found a treasure, but discovered Si Jun was not! A! Human!

Just thinking about those filthy beggars made Zhan Xuerou tremble all over. If she failed the task, Si Jun would certainly do it!

With a trembling voice, Zhan Xuerou said, "Prince, let me think of a way..."

"Take your time, don’t be afraid, get some good rest and eat well these days, my people will cooperate with you!" With that said, Si Jun left with a gloomy face.

Outside the window, Qiuyue, having overheard part of the conversation between Si Jun and Zhan Xuerou, pretended she had just arrived. As Si Jun walked out, after seeing Qiuyue, he smirked: this girl had grown up with Zhan Xuerou and was also a person from the General Mansion, better to lock her up first!

To prevent any more mishaps in the middle!

...

Dugu Yan got up early, watching the man beside her sleeping soundly, she smiled.

She had official duties and had to leave.

After she left, the man suddenly opened his eyes, and a figure leaped into the courtyard and entered the room.

"Young Master, I’m late!" The man in black whom Dugu Yan knocked out last night helped the man unlock the chains on his hands and feet.

He was knocked out last night and only woke up in the middle of the night, tracking here following the marks left by the Young Master.

The man’s face was grim, and he ordered the man in black, "Turn around!"

The man in black obediently complied immediately.

The man lifted the quilt and picked up his clothes from the corner of the bed to put on.

As he dressed, he looked at the ambiguous marks on his body, left by that shameless woman!

The man was filled with fury, his chest heaving violently as he fastened his belt and asked, "Did our people arrive?"

"Young Master, they’ve all arrived today."

Recalling last night’s events, the man had a suspicion, but seeing the red trace on the bed, confirmed that the woman was indeed a virgin last night...

And that she was with him...

The man clenched his fists. Last night, it seemed the Lifebound Gu Worm inside him was very excited, seemingly fond of this woman.

Shame washed over him, and he gritted his teeth, wondering if all the women in Ding’an City were as fierce?

His eyes turned cold as he and the man in black left Dugu Yan’s house. He had more important things to attend to now.

This account would be settled slowly!

...

At the Regent Prince Mansion, Xue Lingling stood persistently outside Zhan Lan’s door, unwilling to leave.

Vermilion Bird leaned against the railing, and Xue Lingling’s eyes shone with determination, looking serious.

"Xue Lingling, don’t you want to take a break? Standing here waiting endlessly doesn’t tire you out?"

Xue Lingling, like a soldier on duty, frowned at Vermilion Bird and solemnly said, "Brother Vermilion Bird, I can’t let my brother harm Princess Sister!"

Vermilion Bird looked at Xue Lingling with appreciation. Though the girl’s thinking wasn’t always the best, she was loyal indeed.

"Xue Lingling, come in and eat spring rolls, marinated chicken feet, and rice wine dumplings..." Zhan Lan pushed the window open with a smile.

"Alright!" Xue Lingling swiftly entered Zhan Lan’s room.

Vermilion Bird began to doubt himself, wondering if Xue Lingling was really there to protect the Madam. Could she just be there for food and drink instead?

Was everything he just saw merely an illusion?

Xue Lingling was eating crispy, steaming spring rolls, "Princess Sister, don’t worry, if it’s really my brother, I’ll give him a piece of my mind!"

Zhan Lan smiled, "Take your time eating, it’s all for you. Tell the cook if you want anything else."

Xue Lingling took a sip of the rice wine dumplings, smiling, "My brother must be anxious to find me, desperate!"

"Can you and your brother sense each other’s presence?" Zhan Lan pushed the marinated chicken feet toward Xue Lingling.

Xue Lingling nodded, "Only within a hundred steps. If it’s further, the Gu Worms can’t sense each other’s presence."

Zhan Lan understood why Xue Lingling wanted to stay by her side.

After Xue Lingling was full, she went outside again to keep guard. Even when Zhan Lan called her in, she stayed outside, with Vermilion Bird, the two standing like stone sculptures behind the railing.

"If you’re tired, go rest for a while, I’m here." Vermilion Bird spoke coldly.

Xue Lingling suddenly wanted to relieve herself, she laughed, "I’ll step away briefly, Little Vermilion Bird, you take good care of Princess Sister!"

Vermilion Bird nodded reluctantly. This girl worried too much. Protecting the Madam was his duty.

Xue Lingling went to the restroom. After coming out, she heard the candied hawthorn seller’s cries near the mansion’s main gate. She thought: Princess Sister treats her so well, she should buy her some candied hawthorn.

Although the Silver in her pocket was a gift from Princess Sister.

Xue Lingling stepped out to purchase the candied hawthorn and pondered: The Prince isn’t in the mansion, and it seems he doesn’t like candied hawthorn much either.

Then she decided to buy one each for Princess Sister and Vermilion Bird!

After paying with Copper Coin, she took three skewers of candied hawthorn.

Just as she turned to enter the mansion again, suddenly a figure pulled her aside.
