Chapter 187 Accident
The Ninth Prince was struck dumb; his face, which had been full of joy, instantly turned as pale as paper.
Yu Yang approached Xia Li and asked, "Is there a custom of hiding people during weddings here? Do we have this custom? In that case, the shoes should be hidden, not the person."
Xia Li: ……
She shoved the person aside and rushed in to examine the marks closely.
"Something's happened! My sister must have been kidnapped."
Everyone was very anxious about this situation during the orientation.
"Who dares to do this?"
"With so many of us here watching, how could someone have taken advantage of the situation?"
"unless……"
Zhou Xianya immediately realized: "There's an inside man!"
Xia Li immediately thought of someone.
Nangong Jing's eyes were bloodshot: "Investigate!"
The entire mansion instantly descended into chaos, with servants searching everywhere with lanterns in hand, shouts rising and falling.
The Ninth Prince was extremely anxious. The dangers that Zhao Jihua might encounter kept flashing through his mind, and fear spread like a tide in his heart.
He knew that if Zhao Jihua were to suffer any mishap, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
the other side,
In a dilapidated temple on the outskirts of the city, Zhao Jihua was violently thrown to the ground by a man in black.
Fortunately, some hay cushioned their fall, so they weren't injured.
Her hair was disheveled, but her face showed no fear, only calmness and determination.
The man in black pulled off his mask.
Zhao Jihua was not surprised at all: "It really was you."
Zhao Fanyu (Zhao Jihua's father's illegitimate son) paced back and forth in front of her, his eyes filled with madness and resentment.
"Why? Why did my father spoil me for so many years? He always told me that everything in the future of the Prince Jin's mansion would be mine. I just needed to wait for the right time to return to the Prince Jin's mansion. But I was kicked out after only a few days of finally returning. I hate you all, I hate the injustice of God, and I hate myself for being excluded from the family."
"Because you are not of the Prince of Jin's blood!"
Zhao Jihua coldly interrupted him.
She knew all along that the "illegitimate child" who had been driven away would hold a grudge, but when she went to look for him, all traces had been erased.
Zhao Jihua knew at that time that he had someone backing him.
Now, Zhao Jihua's happy wedding has become the last straw that broke his rationality.
So he will definitely come.
Zhao Fanyu roared, "No, I am the only son of Prince Jing. I am the heir and I am to inherit everything. It is all your fault that I have ended up in this state today."
He rushed forward and grabbed Zhao Jihua by the neck.
"Zhao Jihua, you've enjoyed wealth and luxury since you were a child, while what about me? I'm nothing but a bastard child who can't be brought into the light! Today, I'll make you taste what it's like to lose everything!"
Zhao Fanyu roared hysterically, and the resentment that had been building up in his heart for many years poured out like a flood.
Zhao Jihua looked at him quietly. They were so close that she could even see the veins bulging on his forehead. His eyes were bloodshot, like a ferocious beast that had lost its mind.
"You can't possibly take me down by yourself. Tell me, who's behind you?"
"You think you can really protect yourself by guarding day and night? Let me tell you, I've been watching you the whole time, hahahahaha... You want to know who's behind me? Absolutely not! I'm going to make sure you die with your eyes wide open!"
Zhao Fanyu tightened his grip.
Zhao Jihua's face flushed slightly. She aimed carefully, gathered her strength in her foot, and kicked hard at her opponent's vital area.
Zhao Fanyu winced in pain and immediately released her from covering his private parts.
Zhao Jihua fell to the ground, rolled over, and quickly got up.
There was no fear in her eyes: "Zhao Fanyu, you shouldn't vent your resentment on me. It's all fate's arrangement. If you let go of your hatred, you still have a chance to start over."
"Start over?" Zhao Fanyu sneered. "I've been blinded by hatred; there's no turning back. Today, you must die!"
As he spoke, he slowly drew the dagger from his waist and approached Zhao Jihua step by step.
Just then, hurried footsteps came from outside the dilapidated temple.
Zhao Jihua looked outside.
Zhao Fanyu instantly pulled her close and held her in front of him, pressing the dagger against her neck.
When the Ninth Prince arrived with his guards, he saw Zhao Fanyu threatening Zhao Jihua.
His eyes instantly reddened.
"Zhao Fanyu, let her go!" the Ninth Prince roared, his voice filled with anger and authority.
Zhao Fanyu turned around, looked at the Ninth Prince, and a sinister smile appeared on his face:
"It wasn't for nothing that I deliberately let you off the hook; you found the marks she gave you so quickly. Ninth Prince, you've come at the right time. As long as you commit suicide, I'll release her."
The Ninth Prince was shocked. He looked at Zhao Jihua, his eyes filled with pain and struggle.
He knew that Zhao Fanyu had lost his mind, and his request was undoubtedly a cruel choice.
But in his heart, Zhao Jihua's safety was paramount.
"Jihua, I'm sorry, I'm late."
The Ninth Prince's voice trembled, his eyes filled with deep affection and reluctance, "I can't let you get hurt."
As he spoke, he slowly drew the sword from his waist and placed it against his neck.
"Zhao Fanyu, promise me you'll let her go, and I'll kill myself right in front of you."
What I received in return was a contemptuous reply: "Do you think I'm stupid? I'm in control now! You better just die."
Zhao Jihua looked at the Ninth Prince, tears welling in her eyes, and murmured, "No, no, I don't want you to die."
Upon seeing this scene, Zhao Fanyu was extremely excited. He seemed to see Zhao Jihua holding the Ninth Prince's corpse and crying his heart out.
"Do you see that? The person you love is about to die right in front of you, and it's because of you!"
He stared at the Ninth Prince, his eyes signaling for the other to commit suicide immediately.
The smug Zhao Fanyu failed to notice that there was something else in her eyes.
She nodded slightly, as if conveying some message to the Ninth Prince.
The Ninth Prince gripped his sword tightly, slowly bringing it closer to his neck...
Just as the Ninth Prince was about to commit suicide, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and with a flick of his wrist, his sword shot towards Zhao Fanyu.
At the same time, Zhao Jihua broke free from his restraints, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it at Zhao Fanyu.
Zhao Fanyu never expected to fall into a trap. He couldn't dodge in time and was stabbed in the shoulder by the sword.
He stared at the two people in front of him in horror, his face full of disbelief.
"You...you dared to lie to me!" Zhao Fanyu roared, struggling to resist.
But the Ninth Prince and Zhao Jihua did not give him a chance.
The two rushed towards Zhao Fanyu and engaged in a fierce fight with him.
Zhao Fanyu had only learned these moves in the few days since he was kicked out of the manor, and he was defeated in just a few moves by the two of them working together.
In the end, the Ninth Prince stabbed Zhao Fanyu in the chest with his sword.
Zhao Fanyu's eyes widened as he slowly collapsed.
