Reborn as the Crippled King's Beloved-Chapter 165 - Miss Wants to Tear Your Mouth Apart
Chapter 165 -165 Miss Wants to Tear Your Mouth Apart
Jun Yuyan found it amusing.
Everyone in the Capital City thought Ah Jiu hated Wang Baozhu intensely, when in fact, she simply wished that a bad person like Wang Baozhu would not lead a good life, nothing more.
The reason she came to listen to the court hearing was simply out of curiosity about how Wang Baozhu and Na Kesi would quibble with each other.
His Ah Jiu was truly too adorable.
Jun Yuyan had also noticed that since yesterday, when her identity was revealed and she recognized her father and brother, she seemed to have transformed, though he couldn’t quite put his finger on it. It was as if she was relieved of some psychological burden, and both her body and spirit felt lighter.
As for such a positive change, he found it delightful.
He wished that Ah Jiu would be carefree all her life, but he was also aware that Ah Jiu had more than ordinary hatred for the Second Prince.
It was not just about depriving the Second Prince of the chance to compete for succession; it seemed more like she wished for his eternal downfall, a deep hatred that would last a lifetime.
He knew that, given what the Second Prince had done to her now, Ah Jiu’s hatred for him wouldn’t have reached such an extent.
Perhaps, even the Second Prince himself didn’t understand why.
Watching Ah Jiu leaning in to listen, with sparkles in her eyes and stopping after only one bite of her pastry as if afraid to miss out on anything interesting, he couldn’t help but smile.
“Don’t worry, you definitely won’t miss anything. Our spot here allows us to hear everything loud and clear,” he said.
He took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the crumbs from the corner of her mouth.
At this moment, Wang Baozhu’s crazed voice came from outside.
“Forgery! My lord! He forged it! I did not initiate any seduction; he must have fabricated the handwriting! He deceived me of my chastity; I can no longer face living. If you take his side, my lord, I will dash my head against the walls of this public court!”
Presumably, Lady Wang’s letters had inspired Wang Baozhu; anyway, she was dead set on denying everything.
There, Wang Baozhu was about to throw herself against a pillar, but naturally, she was stopped by the Government Official.
Wang Baozhu struggled furiously, shouting and screaming like a madwoman, accusing Xu Darong of being partial and shielding Na Kesi, and claiming that the letters were all fakes and she had never written them.

In short, she was trying to exert pressure through the threat of death, compelling Na Kesi to take her back to the Western Regions and take responsibility for her.
“My pure and undefiled body, he took it as he pleased, promising to be good to me at the time, even making me a Princess Consort. But he changed his tune suddenly and colluded with Lord Xu to oppress me, a weak woman! You all look down on me and suppress me because I am no longer a lady of the General’s Mansion! Why should he not marry me? I am a woman of good family, not some harlot who is fair game for anyone!”
“Silence! Silence!”
Xu Darong banged the wooden gavel several times, but Wang Baozhu continued to make a scene, even attempting to tear up the letters that Na Kesi had produced.
A vein in Na Kesi’s temple throbbed repeatedly as he forcibly suppressed his anger, resisting the impulse to slap Wang Baozhu to death.
He even began to think about simply taking Wang Baozhu to the Western Regions and killing her on the way.
Just then, a Government Official suddenly exerted force and pushed Wang Baozhu to the ground, with a piece of coarse cloth that was wrapped around her neck accidentally ending up in his hand. As Wang Baozhu fell, he quickly threw the coarse cloth a little further away.
“Murder! The Government Official has committed murder!”
Wang Baozhu, having been thrown painfully to the ground, lay there wailing.
Na Kesi’s eyes suddenly lit up:
“You wretched woman, just look at the marks on your neck. These traces certainly weren’t left by me the night before last! Everyone, look—there were no such marks on Wang Baozhu’s neck yesterday. It shows she’s loose and of easy virtue. After such a big incident yesterday, she could still spend the evening enjoying herself with men of no account! Look, everyone, look!”
The area outside the Prefecture Yamen was already surrounded by many people, and upon hearing the news, a lot of them tried to squeeze in to see what was happening. The government officials naturally kept them all outside, but those who were close enough still saw the dense marks on Wang Baozhu’s neck.
Some of them were still very red, indicating that her intimate encounter had happened just a few shichen ago.
“Oh my God, I really didn’t see this coming, how could she be so cheap!”
“Yesterday she was kicked out of the General’s Mansion, her birth mother Lady Wang was sentenced to death by beheading, and here she is, still in the mood to find a man!”
“You really can’t judge a book by its cover, maybe she just let herself go after being kicked out of the General’s Mansion?”
“It’s good that she was expelled; otherwise the General’s Mansion would have been shamed because of her!”
“Dragons breed dragons, phoenixes breed phoenixes, the offspring of a mouse will dig holes; what kind of good daughter can a woman like Lady Wang produce?”
“That’s not entirely true, Murong Man is quite good, and she’s also Lady Wang’s daughter, isn’t she?”
“Who knows, appearances can be deceiving.”
The jeering voices outside and the contemptuous looks from everyone inside the court nearly drove Wang Baozhu insane.
She desperately pulled at her collar, trying to cover her neck.
“It’s not like that, I was drugged and taken advantage of, I’m not that kind of woman!”
“It’s all because of you! Na Kesi! You ruined me, you made me turn out like this!”
Her eyes were filled with hatred as she glared at Na Kesi, wishing she could go up and bite into his flesh.
“If it hadn’t been for you kidnapping me from the General’s Mansion, how would I have lost my chastity to you! How would I have been bullied by other men!”
Thinking of Niu Tianbao’s actions against her the previous night, such humiliation filled her with intense hatred. She believed that Na Kesi taking her from the General’s Mansion was the start of all her troubles.
She had slept with Na Kesi, and had been seen naked by many lowly people, which emboldened Niu Tianbao to take advantage of her.
Otherwise, how could Niu Tianbao have dared?
Na Kesi took a few steps back.
Wang Baozhu’s gaze was venomous; taking her back would only be inviting trouble upon himself.
Of course, he had no intention of taking Wang Baozhu back either. The marks on her body were enough to show she was a loose and cheap person, and she had just admitted to it, too.
He said to Xu Darong, “Lord Xu, you have heard it yourself, this woman has admitted that she has slept with other men. She should take responsibility and find the man from last night. His Royal Highness the Prince has to start his journey back to the Western Regions very soon, so please, Lord Xu, resolve the case quickly.”
Xu Darong nodded, “It seems that His Royal Highness the Prince was also deceived by this woman. Conveniently, the maid who previously served her has been brought here, and she recognizes Wang Baozhu’s handwriting.”
As soon as the words were spoken, a girl dressed as a maid walked in timidly behind a government official, and showed fear at the sight of Wang Baozhu.
“I am Yu Sha, my respects to you, my lord.”
“You need not be afraid, we are in the public court, no one dares to hit you. I ask you, did your former mistress write these letters?”
Yu Sha stepped forward and carefully looked over them several times, nodded her head, and before she could speak, Wang Baozhu shouted furiously:
“You lowly maid! You stole my jewelry before, and that’s why I sold you. Now you want to give false testimony against me?!”
Yu Sha cried out, “My lady, I really didn’t steal. It was you who accidentally broke the jade bracelet, and fearing the young masters would be unhappy, you framed me, beat me, and sold me off to the Flower Tower. If it hadn’t been for someone kind enough to buy me out, I would now be like you, reduced to a man’s plaything.”
Wang Baozhu’s eyes were splitting with fury, “What nonsense are you spouting! What frame-up! What man’s plaything! I want to tear your mouth apart!”
