After I died, the scumbag prince cried down the city wall

Chapter 147 Unforgettable

Cui Rong was stunned. Looking at the slightly old purse, she suddenly realized that Lin Han had misunderstood her position in the mansion.

Cui Rong gently shook her head, with a gentle smile on her lips: "No need to do that, the cooks and I are like sisters, they often prepare extra food for me. Young Master is out alone, there are many places to spend money, please use it yourself."

"I still have some energy left."

Lin Han did not allow Cui Rongrong to refuse. He gently stuffed the purse into her hand, then turned around and walked away in big strides, leaving behind a look of deep affection and determination.

---

As night fell, Cui Rong returned to the Wen Mansion.

When she entered Qiushui Courtyard, the maid Dingdong had already been waiting outside the door. When she saw her return, she hurried forward to greet her: "Miss, you are finally back!"

"Well, what happened?"

Cui Rongrong spoke in a relaxed tone, but a trace of fatigue could not be concealed on her face.

Ding Dong's eyes moved around, as if he wanted to say something, but he was looking around, appearing a little nervous.

When I opened the door, the room was dark. The afterglow of dusk did not bring much light to the room.

A dim light came in through the crack in the door, making the shadows in the room mottled.

Wen Yinyang sat on the armchair, looked up at Cui Rong at the door, and said indifferently: "Are you back?"

Cui Rong's body stiffened unconsciously: "Why are you here?"

Wen Yinyang's face was hard to read, his deep black eyes seemed to be able to see through everything: "Where did you go?"

Cui Rongrong's eyes were evasive, and she said hesitantly, "Miss Cui asked me to go to Taiming Lake together."

"Just for fun?"

There was a subtle chill in his tone.

Cui Rongrong didn't understand, pursed her lips, and asked, "What else?"

His eyes were slightly cold: "I just came back from Taiming Lake too."

Cui Rongrong suddenly clenched her fingers in her sleeves and her face changed slightly.

"When I arrived, they told me that you had already left. After returning home, I waited for you for a while before you showed up."

Wen Yinyang spoke at a moderate pace, as if waiting for her explanation.

Cui Rongrong tried to maintain her calmness on the surface: "On the way back, I remembered that I needed to buy some medicinal herbs, so I spent some time in the medicine shop, which is why I came back late."

Wen Yinyang glanced at the medicine bag in her hand, his expression softened slightly, but his tone remained cold:

"It's just a small matter, why do you have to do it yourself? Just tell the servants to do it."

Cui Rong muttered to herself, feeling that her every move seemed to be constrained within this small courtyard. Was she supposed to be trapped in this small space, allowing the years to pass and becoming increasingly depressed?

"If you feel bored, I'll walk around with you after I finish my recent affairs."

Wen Yinyang slowly stood up, walked towards her with steady steps, gently held her hand, and there was an unquestionable tenderness in his words.

Cui Rong's eyes narrowed slightly. Traveling with him? Wouldn't this be equivalent to publicly displaying the subtle relationship between them?

Wen Yinyang, who has always been known for his self-discipline and restoration of propriety, could not have been unaware of the risks and consequences behind this. However, his actions at this moment were so unexpected that Cui Rong was a little at a loss for a moment.

She pulled her hand back in annoyance: "You go about your business. If I need to go out, I will arrange it myself. You don't need to look for me to avoid any more trouble."

Hearing this, Wen Yinyang's face was suddenly shrouded in a layer of gloom, as if he was feeling the pressure of an impending storm. He suddenly grabbed her wrist with such force that she staggered and involuntarily moved closer to his domineering body.

"Am I a problem to you?"

His voice was low and deep, like a cold wind in the dead of winter, penetrating straight into the heart.

Facing his eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts and were a little cold, Cui Rong's heart trembled suddenly, as if it was tightly grasped by an invisible hand. She hurriedly turned her face to the side, trying to avoid his sharp eyes like a sword, "You are already engaged, and the affairs of the court are extremely heavy. There is really no need to divide your thoughts with someone as insignificant as me."

"What if I insist on keeping you in mind?"

His words were hurled coldly, and his gaze was like a sharp icicle, piercing straight into the depths of her soul, making it impossible to avoid.

Cui Rongrong pursed her lips. An indescribable chill quietly spread from the bottom of her heart and gradually climbed up her back, making her shiver.

"I haven't officially welcomed you into my family yet, only because I care about your future and want to give you a peaceful sky. After the marriage is settled, I will personally plead with the old lady and ask her to accept you as my concubine, so that you can stand by my side with a legitimate reason. Wanwan, everything I do is for you, to pave a bright road for you. You should obey me obediently and not have any complaints."

Every word of this speech was like a huge rock, hitting Cui Rongrong's heart hard, making her scalp numb. It seemed that the limit of her patience was about to come to an end.

"I am not an appendage of the Wen family. How can I let you manipulate me at will? I just don't want to do that! If you are dissatisfied with this, you can tell the old lady and let her deal with me, or even expel me from the Wen Mansion!"

After saying that, Cui Rongrong clearly felt that the hand that was holding her wrist tightened its grip, and the fingertips seemed to be digging into her skin.

She clenched her teeth and endured the pain in her wrist. The fear in her heart spread silently like a shadow in the night.

But in a flash, Cui Rong realized that this day would eventually come, and instead of delaying it, it would be better to do it quickly and decisively.

She decided that it was time to make a break with the Wen family. Only by leaving could she completely get rid of it all.

This determination gave her strength, allowing her to straighten her back. She tried hard to suppress her inner panic, staring at his arrogant face with her eyes wide open.

Wen Yinyang actually regained his usual calmness at this moment, and even raised a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, "So, you are so eager to escape from here."

Cui Rong's heart was shocked, as if all her thoughts had been hit by his words and she had nowhere to hide.

"A year ago, you begged me for protection, so I kept you in the Wen Mansion. You said you hoped Xu Shujin could receive a good education, so I made an exception and sent him to the Wen Family School. You said you longed for a legitimate position, so I promised to take you as a concubine after marriage. Wanwan, is it because I doted on you too much that you misunderstood that I could compromise without limits?"

Although his voice was plain, it seemed to contain an irresistible force, which oppressed Cui Rong to the point that she could hardly breathe.

"The rules of the Wen family have always been strict. No one is allowed to go out without permission. Even if I go to greet him, he may not be able to leave his living environment easily."

Cui Rongrong suddenly raised her head and met his deep and dark eyes with a firm gaze, as if challenging him and declaring her indomitable spirit.

Threat, this is the true face of Wen Yinyang. When has he ever been truly merciful?
