C4 Bad Luck Girl

Hearing that, Big Brother pushed me away and looked at me seriously. He asked, "What did you do this time?"

"I didn't cause any trouble." I pursed my lips and replied.

"Then what do you want me to do for you?" Big Brother asked doubtfully.

"I don't want to marry Han Jingyi. Help me tell Dad to push the marriage!" I said bluntly.

"No," Yang replied decisively. "This matter is settled. No one can change it."

"On what basis?" I asked angrily.

"On what basis?" Big Brother tapped me on the forehead and said, "Don't you understand the words of parents and matchmakers?"

Yes, I understand the words of parents and matchmakers.

Looking at my pitiful appearance, Yang comforted me with heartache, "That child Jingyi is not bad. He looks good, has a good character, has a good personality, and has a good family background. If you marry him, you won't lose out."

I raised my head to look at Yang, pursed my lips, and turned around to leave his study room.

Before I walked far, I heard Big Brother shout, "Little Sister, Father has already chosen the day for you all. Don't cause any trouble these few days. Otherwise, if Father blames you, Big Brother won't be able to protect you."

"What? The day is already set?" It was another bolt out of the blue. I really don't know what I should do.

Yes, on the eighth of next month. "

"On the eighth of next month? There's only half a month left!" Alright, I was ruthlessly struck by Thunderclap again.

Big Brother nods his head firmly, breaking the last bit of hope in my heart.

Alright, women have to get married. If they can hide for the first time, they can't hide for the fifteenth time. I comfort myself. Fortunately, it's the eighth of next month, not tomorrow.

Returning to the room, I was depressed for an entire afternoon.

Half a month, I only have half a month of free time left. I have to make good use of it.

...

With the current situation, going to the teahouse to listen to books is no longer enough for me. I need to find something new to do.

However, my daily life is monotonous. For a moment, I can't find anything to do.

"Miss, I heard that there's a cocktail party in the west of the city today. Shall we go and take a look?" Tangtang suggested.

"No, a bunch of big wine bags. What's there to see?" I closed my eyes and fanned my fan.

"Miss, why don't we go to Nanshan to pick mulberries?" Tangtang asked again.

"I'm not going. I'm too lazy to go on such a hot day, let alone pick fruits." My attitude is still the same.

"Then..." Tangtang seriously thought about it and suddenly said excitedly, "Then let's go swimming!"

"The Ming You Lake at the waist of the North Mountain!" As soon as I mentioned swimming, I thought of that place.

Speaking of which, The lake was discovered by accident when my brother and I went hunting in the North Mountains last spring, and I had been there several times in the summer, and it felt good.

If we went back and forth on the same day, the time would be very tight. So that year, I asked Big Brother to send someone to help me build a wooden house by the lake, so every time I went there, I would stay there for two or three days and come back after having fun.

However, because the mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk, even if I had a wooden house, I would only go there three or five times throughout the entire summer.

After greeting my parents, I brought Tangtang out of the mansion.

Big brother sent someone to use a carriage to send us to the Lake of Light and Darkness and then left.

It is already past noon. I asked Tangtang to prepare lunch for me. I plan to go to the lake and swim around first to cool down the heat.

The Bright Lake was located halfway up the north mountain. There were stone walls on all three sides and the only empty side was facing the wooden house.

In the wild forests deep in the mountains, very few people came and went. I look around. After making sure it is safe, I take off my clothes and go into the water.

The lake was not big and the water was cool. I swam from here to the other side in one breath.

Although I got rid of the problem, I used up more than half of my strength.

I swam to the lakeside and found a huge rock. I submerged my lower body in the water and leaned my upper body against the huge rock behind me. It was a comfortable feeling.

I leaned against the huge rock and quietly rested. I wanted to wait for Tangtang to finish cooking and then swim back.

But not long after, I hear someone talking behind the huge rock. From the sound, it should be a man.

"What should be said, Bengong has already said. The choice is yours."

A man still calls himself Bengong. If I am not wrong, the person who spoke should be the Crown Prince.

At the same time, ten thousand questions appear in my mind: Why did the Crown Prince appear here? Who is he talking to? What is he talking about? How many people were there in total? ...

But this isn't what I'm most worried about. What I'm most worried about right now is how to get away.

I'm wearing a red undergarment. If a man sees my current appearance... I'm afraid I'll never see anyone again.

I remain motionless in my original position, afraid that I will be discovered by the other party. At the same time, I am thinking of a way to escape.

"Your Highness..."

Another voice sounded. Although he only said two words, I felt that this voice sounded familiar.

"Who? Come out!" That person's sudden change in tone caused my heart to thump. Seeing the ripples surrounding me, I knew that I had been exposed.

The water by the lake is not deep. Wanting to directly dive into the water to escape is impossible. But if I continue to stay here, then I will only be captured. If I'm just caught, it's nothing. It's just that my outfit...

"If you don't come out, I'm going to make a move!" A familiar voice rang out once again. At the same time, I heard the sound of his sword being pulled out.

"Don't, don't, don't. I'm the daughter of a hunter nearby. The weather is too hot. I came here to swim to cool down the heat. I don't have any clothes on me right now. I hope that you can be magnanimous and don't make things difficult for me. Let me go."

I leaned against the boulder, my hands covering my chest. I was afraid that the other party would suddenly rush over and see my body.

However, doing so would only give me some psychological comfort, but it would be of no use at all.

They did not speak. I guessed that they were probably thinking about how to deal with me.

My heart thumped. At the palace banquet, I had seen the Crown Prince a few times. As for whether he had any impression of me, I do not know.

If I were to be carried out by them like this, there would only be two results.

Firstly, the Crown Prince would recognize me and use this to attack our Xuan Ping Marquis Mansion. After all, compared to the Crown Prince, we are closer to Fifth Prince. By attacking our Xuan Ping Marquis Mansion, it is equivalent to indirectly suppressing Fifth Prince.

Secondly, if he doesn't recognize me, he might kill me because I just heard the conversation between him and someone else.

Why am I so unlucky? I came here to quietly stay for two days, but I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen.

Just as I was lost in my thoughts, a man's coat suddenly fell from my head. At the same time, the familiar voice sounded again, "Put it on."

At this moment, I am very grateful to the person who gave me this dress.

Quickly wrapping the dress around my body, I let out a long sigh and slowly got up.

Although my feet are still outside, fortunately, there is a huge rock blocking it, so I won't be too rude.

I lowered my head and didn't look at the other party's face. Other than knowing that there were only two people on the other side and that one of them was the Crown Prince... I don't know the rest.

Although I really wanted to know who that familiar voice was, in order to save my life, I suppressed my curiosity and did not raise my head.

They clearly saw me, but they did not speak immediately. My heart was in a panic. Just as I wanted to beg for mercy, I heard the Crown Prince say, "This matter, you deal with it yourself." With that, he turned around and left.

I thought to myself, It's over, it's over. The Crown Prince is ordering the remaining person to kill me to silence him.

"No, I can't wait to die here." I turned my head slightly to confirm my position. After I was only two or three steps away from the deep water, I made up my mind and prepared to escape.

"Do you think you can escape?"

I, who had been seen through by him, couldn't help but raise my head to look at him.

It's him! Why is it him?

He is the man who robbed my jade pendant and ate my tofu at the entrance of the alley that day.

"Why is it you?" I asked in surprise. At the same time, there was a hint of anger in my fear.

The incident at the entrance of the alley also appeared in front of me. I seemed to have forgotten about my situation. I actually continued to say, "Return my jade pendant!"

"You're not even going to keep your life, yet you're still thinking about the jade pendant!?" For some reason, a hint of anger appeared on his face.

That's not right, I should be angry. He stole my things, so it's not his turn to be angry.

Oh, I almost forgot that he is on the chopping block now. I'm the fish on the chopping board. The Crown Prince even ordered him to kill me to silence me.

But if you want to kill me, then kill me. What do you mean by angry at me? His expression should be 'ruthless'. Right?

I threw away the question of the jade pendant and suddenly asked him, "Are you trying to kill me?"

"What, are you afraid now?" He asked.

That day, I witnessed his skills. Now that I know he's a member of the Crown Prince, his martial arts shouldn't be any worse. It seems that it is impossible to escape.

Thinking that he is going to be killed, My heart palpitates with apprehension. Thinking of how I won't be able to see my parents and brothers in the future, my heart aches and tears start flowing uncontrollably.

He took two steps towards me and I subconsciously retreated. I anxiously begged, "Can you... can you... for the sake of that jade pendant... let me... go back and put on my own clothes before killing me?"

I lowered my head and used my long sleeves to cover my mouth and nose as I sobbed softly.

I never thought that I, the noble daughter of the Marquis Estate, would be in such a sorry state one day. Not only was my clothes disheveled and my life threatened, I didn't dare to cry out loud.

Perhaps it was because I had lived too many good days in the past. Therefore, the Yama King sent someone to take me in now.

Thinking of the good days in the past, I thought of my parents and big brother. At the same time, I cried even more sadly.

Just as I was letting my thoughts run wild and crying until I had snot and tears, he suddenly said to me, "Don't cry, I won't kill you."

"You won't kill me?" I instantly stopped crying and raised my head to look at him.

He said he wasn't going to kill me. Why? Didn't the Crown Prince let him deal with me? Why did he go against the Crown Prince's wishes?

While I was puzzled, I also saw his expression clearly.

No, perhaps I didn't see it clearly, because that expression seemed to be filled with pain. No, no, no, it should be pity.

But why did he have to pity me? In my impression, He's not a good person either. He stole my jade pendant and ate my tofu. How could such a person have pity?

"Mm, I won't kill you." He nodded slightly and suddenly asked, "Why did you come here?"

"I... I came here to swim to relieve the heat." I replied.

"You yourself?" He asked.

"No, there is also my maidservant." As soon as he said it, I regretted it.

Is he trying to trick me? He wants to know if I still have any accomplices and then eliminate them together.

No, how did he know that I came here? Instead of living here in the first place, I said I was the hunter's daughter.

My mind is in a mess now, and my heart is in a bit of a panic. Suddenly, I heard him say, "Come here."

"Ah? My heart began to feel uneasy again. At the same time, I cautiously asked him," Didn't you say that you won't kill me? "

He looked at me and shook his head with a smile. Suddenly, he walked to my side and picked me up before I could react.
