The queen is crazy and spoiled, and the tyrant bows to her

Chapter 462 I won’t give up!

Wu Decai's face was distorted with pain, but he still grinned and laughed hideously.

"Why, can't you bear it?"

"You want to hear it, don't you? I'll show mercy today and tell you everything."

Jiang Wantang looked at him coldly, her bright peach blossom eyes now scarlet as blood, tears mixed with blood swirling wildly in her eyes.

Even the cinnabar teardrop mole at the corner of the eye exudes a bloodthirsty glow.

However, when Wu Decai looked into Jiang Wantang's eyes, his smile suddenly stopped.

His eyes were dark and cruel, his face gloomy: "You know what? What I hate most is your face, especially your eyes!"

"You have a face that's ninety percent similar to your mother's, but these affectionate eyes are very much like your father, Jiang Zhixu."

"Whenever I look at you, I always think of them and the miserable self I once was."

"Especially when your eyes clearly reflected my face, which belonged to Jiang Zhixu, it really felt like Jiang Zhixu was asking for my life..."

"Every time I see you, I have nightmares for several nights..."

Jiang Wantang didn't say anything, holding the dagger tightly, endless hatred surging in his deep eyes.

Wu Decai just smiled, a fearless smile, a fierce and mocking smile: "Then do you know why I didn't kill you in the first place even though it was like this?"

"I didn't kill Jiang Huaizhou because your mother, that cunning woman, told me that Jiang Huaizhou wasn't their child, but a bastard from a prominent family. She even showed me a secret letter with a golden seal entrusting him to her as proof, saying that anyone who dared to touch him would lose their official position."

"At that time, I was truly intimidated by her. I didn't dare lose everything I had worked so hard to gain. I figured it would just be an extra meal for him, so I just kept him around. After all, he wasn't Jiang Zhixu's child."

"And after she died, you were still in your infancy... hehe..."

"As easy as crushing an ant."

"And I didn't do anything, purely because..." Wu Decai sneered, his voice suddenly rising a few notes: "I won't give in!"

"I can't bear to be outdone by a poor, down-and-out boy like Jiang Zhixu!"

"It could be anyone else, but it couldn't be him!"

"From childhood till now, I have always been the one that everyone has their eyes on and everyone has been vying to curry favor with. I am the young generation that my relatives, friends, and clansmen admire the most. Jiang Zhixu has always been just my foil, and everyone looks down on him for his poor appearance!"

"So, a poor boy like him who has no father deserves to be trampled under my feet for the rest of his life."

"Why is it that he, relying on his good looks, became the envied and praised third place scholar, and even married a beautiful wife, while I am just a failed juren, my wife left home, and everyone hates me."

"You know, seeing him so proud and majestic, living the life I've always dreamed of, is more painful than killing me!"

"I think he's just lucky. People who have been inferior to me since childhood should be inferior to me for the rest of their lives."

The blade in Jiang Wantang's hand hummed slightly under her anger, resonating with the burning murderous intent in her blood...

However, Wu Decai became more and more excited, hysterical, and his face looked hideous and ugly as he spoke.

"So, I don't believe this!"

"Jiang Zhixu is dead, and I want to compare his only daughter with my daughter."

"My Fu'er was born to me and the courtesan. She has been extremely beautiful since birth. She is my hope and pride."

"I firmly believe that with my careful training, she will become one of the most distinguished ladies in the capital, and Jiang Zhixu's daughter will be trampled under my daughter's feet as a stepping stone for the rest of her life!"

"But I didn't expect that you were only five years old and already had a stunning appearance. You look a lot like your mother."

"So, when you were six years old and I heard others praising you for being better than my Fu'er, I really wanted to kill you!"

"Do you think that I kept you here because of Jiang Huaizhou's intervention?"

"No, it's because I won't admit defeat!"

"So, I thought of another way to torture you. I'll throw you into the countryside and tell them to treat you harshly. I'll make you work in the fields, tilling the soil, turning you into a complete country girl. That way, you can no longer compare to my pampered daughter, Fu'er..."

"The difference is like heaven and earth!"

Wu Decai said a lot in one breath, and his whole face became distorted and weird with malice.

"I originally thought of waiting until you were a little older, past the ideal age for coming of age, and then taking you back. I'd then give you to some powerful senior officials in the court to consolidate my position in the court, so that I wouldn't have kept you in vain."

"And I have already selected some of the most prestigious and aristocratic families in the capital as marriage partners for my Fu'er. The most popular of them is the Xie family of the Yong'an Marquisate. They have the highest power and status, and their mansion and backyard are the cleanest."

"Xie Zhiyan, the only legitimate son of the Marquis of Yong'an, is a man of extraordinary talent and elegance, a top-notch young man in the capital."

"But the Yong'an Marquis's family is too high-class. The old man Yong'an is very self-righteous and has never even looked at me. And that Xie Shizi is also notoriously cold and ruthless. He is not interested in women and never takes any woman seriously."

"Fortunately, I have a backup plan. I often interact with other aristocratic families. When I entertain guests, I always bring Fu'er with me to the banquets so that I can show my face in front of the young masters of the aristocratic families."

"So, I quickly gave up on the Xie family of Yong'an Marquis Mansion and instead chose the Xiao family of Pingyang Marquis Mansion, with whom I could get along better."

"Young Marquis Xiao of the Pingyang Marquisate has an outstanding family background and appearance. He and Fu'er have been childhood sweethearts. With my secret help, their friendship has grown stronger since they were young."

"Young Marquis Xiao is deeply infatuated with Fu'er and is determined to marry her. The two have already made an engagement, and it seems they are on the verge of marriage..."

"But, His Majesty suddenly issued an edict at this time, announcing to the world that a grand selection would be held. Noble families, civil and military officials, and all legitimate daughters would participate in the selection. The Prime Minister's Mansion also has a legitimate daughter in the selection."

"Everyone in the capital knows that Your Majesty is cruel and notorious for his dislike of women. Entering the palace will only mean being controlled by others and ruining your life."

"I have carefully nurtured my daughter for over ten years. How can I allow her to enter the palace and let her precious pearl be buried in the dust?"

"In order to protect Fu'er, I have no choice but to bring you back to the capital from that mountainous area ahead of time."

"I thought that after more than ten years of living in the countryside, you should have been worn down enough. No matter how good your foundation was, you were still just a crude country girl who grew up in the countryside."

"Even before you came back, I had arranged for people to spread the word that you were a vulgar country girl..."

"I want your reputation to be completely ruined the moment you return to the capital. I want you to be ridiculed by everyone and never be able to hold your head up high again!"

"But I didn't expect..." At this point, Wu Decai's cloudy eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes seemed to be filled with poison, and his tone was almost full of hatred: "As soon as you came back, you took away the reputation and good reputation I worked hard to build for Fu'er for more than ten years."

"How could a village girl who grew up in the countryside actually surpass all the noble ladies in the capital and become 'the most beautiful woman in the capital'?"

"How ironic!"
