Chapter 13

At this point, Grandpa Gao stopped trying to persuade her. “Alright, since the Eldest Miss has decided, this old servant will make the arrangements as soon as possible. Once everything is set, I’ll send my swift-footed son to the Duke’s Mansion to inform you. Please come here again at that time.”

“Thank you very much,” Jiang Ruohua nodded. She was grateful for Grandpa Gao’s help, but more importantly, she needed to gather more strength herself. That iron token was her chance, and she was determined to seize it!

“It’s my duty,” Grandpa Gao replied.

“I’ll take my leave now. You two should rest well.”

Jiang Ruohua walked to the door, gesturing for Grandpa Gao not to see her out.

“Take care, Eldest Miss.”

With another step completed, the night had deepened. Jiang Ruohua yawned slightly, preparing to return home for an early sleep.

【My wife is really so polite, even to the servants. I’m so fed up with Zhao Yuexi, she’s so pretentious. Who could like someone so full of fake emotions? How did I end up so unlucky?】

Jiang Ruohua’s body froze. That voice again!

She turned sharply, scanning her surroundings for the source of the voice. It was a voice she could never forget — Prince Ying!

She had thought it was just her imagination after seeing Prince Ying the previous time. The doctor had said she was perfectly healthy, and no one else had heard such things, so she was about to forget it. But now the voice was back!
【Damn! That scared me! Does the female lead really have such good skills? I hope she didn’t notice me.】

It was clear, and Jiang Ruohua no longer thought it was a figment of her imagination.

She walked cautiously, pretending she hadn’t noticed anything. If… if what she heard was indeed Prince Ying’s inner voice, what was that bastard planning?
【Damn it! You almost gave me away! I almost thought I was caught! Good thing I’m clever and didn’t make any rash moves!】

(Host, don’t you think your relationships are a bit mixed up? You call me your grandson and also want to be my father. Do you want to be your own father?)

【…Shut up, I say what I say.】

(Okay.)
【But it’s strange, this plot doesn’t seem right. Are you sure you didn’t bring me to the wrong timeline? I always felt something was off. The first thing I got here was a kick from my wife. Do you know how much that kick hurt? I thought I was done for! This isn’t how you deal with a scumbag. Shouldn’t the blows be lighter?】

As she walked down the quiet street, Jiang Ruohua squinted her eyes slightly.

(Host, your doubts are hurting my feelings. We are a professional system. If the plot hadn’t deviated, you wouldn’t have come over.)

【Your professionalism almost got me killed right from the start. Well done.】

(Host, let me remind you, the female lead is getting away.)
【Damn! I shouldn’t be wasting time talking to you!】

Walking along the quiet street, Jiang Ruohua suddenly glanced around before slipping into a small alley.

Not far behind her, a man emerged from behind a tree and quickly followed her into the alley.

As she turned a corner, a cold light flashed before her eyes. Barely managing to dodge, Jiang Ruohua held a sharp silver hairpin, hidden in her hair, which was actually a very thin dagger. Her eyes shone coldly in the darkness.

The man staggered, and Jiang Ruohua twisted the dagger in her hand, ready to strike again!

【Damn!】

That voice again!

Jiang Ruohua gritted her teeth and, in an instant, engaged in a fierce fight with the man following her. Punches, dagger thrusts, and kicks all aimed at his vital points!

Seeing the eyes exposed in the dark, Jiang Ruohua was certain — it was Prince Ying!

Was this a coincidence or had he been following her?

Had something been exposed? She attacked relentlessly, not giving Prince Ying any chance to react. The dagger slashed through his robe, and there was a sound like an explosion in her ears.
【Holy crap! So ruthless!】

In the darkness, Jiang Ruohua clearly saw that the black mask covering his face hadn’t moved. If this wasn’t some kind of telepathic voice, was it possible that a prince had learned ventriloquism from street performers?

After a few more moves, Prince Ying began to show signs of defeat. His skill wasn’t inferior to hers, which puzzled Jiang Ruohua. Ever since the engagement was broken, Prince Ying had been acting strangely — first blocking her at the gate to disagree with the annulment, and now following her in the dead of night. Previously, he seemed eager to be rid of their engagement. What was he playing at now?

Jiang Ruohua attacked with all her might. She considered that Prince Ying might be pretending to be foolish to avoid appearing too politically capable. After all, the emperor was deeply suspicious and might doubt his own son. That’s why he didn’t dare get too close to the Jiang family and insisted on keeping Zhao Yuexi by his side despite it being improper.

But thinking of this ignited her fury. A woman’s life was tied to her husband’s honor and disgrace. Whether it was her being forced to stay with Prince Ying or Zhao Yuexi’s self-degrading attachment, they were both just pawns for him.

Kill him!

After hearing his inner voice, Jiang Ruohua decided. She didn’t care about Prince Ying’s intentions. With the engagement broken, if he continued to entangle her, it had to be for the Jiang family’s power. She couldn’t think of any other reason!

The alley was deserted at night, and Prince Ying had no bodyguards. It was a perfect opportunity! With no witnesses, even if some trace was left behind, who could trace it back to her?

It was his own fault for being careless enough to go out without his guards.

After a moment’s thought, Jiang Ruohua made up her mind. She moved almost invisibly in the dark, as light as a swallow, scaling walls and stepping over tiles without a sound. If there was any noise, it would be mistaken for a stray cat.

The deeper she went, the fewer people there were. Forcing Prince Ying inward, Jiang Ruohua’s eyes grew cold with killing intent!

Though she preferred to repay Prince Ying a thousandfold like in her dream, making him fall from grace and live a life worse than death, today’s opportunity was too good to pass up. She had to kill him!

【What the hell? How can Luo Zhi Yu be so weak! Help! Help! System, help me! This isn’t what we agreed on! If this continues, my wife is going to kill me! Damn, my wife clearly hates this scumbag! At this point, shouldn’t she be all submissive to the scumbag? We were supposed to get closer, but now I’m about to die!】
