Chapter 224 Let My Second Brother Come
When she asked this, the Sixth Prince in front of her burst into laughter. While laughing, he swung a few sticks at her, making Ye Hongzhuang cry loudly.
"You are not Quan Qinglu! Absolutely not!" Ye Hongzhuang became more and more determined in her thoughts. "Quan Qinglu will not hit me, and he will not think that Ye Wenyan is prettier than me! Even if my face is damaged, she will treat me well and listen to me for the sake of the child in my belly. Who are you? Why are you the same as him? Where did you take Quan Qinglu?"
The last two sentences were almost shouted out, which made the person in front of her so angry that he beat her up again.
But it was strange that no matter how she was beaten, her stomach was unusually firm, with no signs of miscarriage at all, which made the Sixth Prince squat down and lift up her bellyband to look at her carefully. After a long while, he said, "I heard that your stomach won't go down no matter how hard you try, but I don't believe it, so I'm going to try it today!"
When he said this, Ye Hongzhuang became even more frightened. She gritted her teeth and got up to run, not caring what she was wearing, and ran towards the door. However, she was caught after running a few steps, thrown to the ground, and stepped on her stomach.
One, two, three times. Ye Hongzhuang counted in her mind. She was kicked twenty-eight times in total. The person who kicked her was really tired and stopped.
Her stomach was still fine, and although it hurt, it wasn't the kind of pain that comes with miscarriage.
The Sixth Prince looked at it for a while and then frowned. It was really weird that the belly didn't fall out after all the trouble.
He didn't want to waste any more energy. He had fought enough for today and had to leave some time for this woman. He would come back tomorrow.
Since he moved into the Suwang Villa, he felt like he had entered a new world. He used to beat the maids, but now he could beat the princess. It was really refreshing. For many years, he had been hidden like a shadow, not even allowed to go out on the street, not allowed to see anyone else. All day long, the only people he could see were his father, a few servants and maids.
He has no mother and no relatives. Although his father has told him time and again that he will see the light of day one day, he has been waiting for so many years and has become impatient.
I don't know when I started to have the habit of hitting people. The more I hit, the better I feel. It seems that all the suppressed things in my heart can be vented by hitting people, so that I won't go crazy by holding it in my heart.
His father also discovered his hobby, but did not stop him. Instead, he would send someone to beat him to death when he needed it.
Now, as my father said, I can finally see the light of day again, but I am walking around the world under another person's name.
He hated it so much that he wanted to turn every smile during the day into a whip or a stick at night. If he didn't beat people, he couldn't vent his anger and he would die.
Ye Hongzhuang certainly didn't know this. She only knew that Quan Qinglu suddenly changed. Almost overnight, everything changed. He had two faces, one during the day and another at night. But neither of these two faces was the person she was familiar with. Both of them were no longer the Sixth Prince from before.
She was extremely frightened and kept thinking about it, becoming more and more panicked.
No one knew when the Sixth Prince left. The maid Binglan ran in from outside, hugging her young lady and trembling.
Ye Hongzhuang knew that Binglan had no choice. It was not that the servant did not protect the master, but every time the Sixth Prince beat someone, he would clear out the room and leave neither him nor Ye Hongzhuang alive.
At this moment, the master and servant hugged each other and cried bitterly. Ye Hongzhuang shivered and asked Binglan while crying: "Do you think he is still Quan Qinglu? Everyone says that he has changed, become better, become knowledgeable, polite, gentle and humble, just like a young regent. On the night of the New Year's Eve palace banquet, many people were praising him, and some even said that the throne should belong to the Sixth Prince. Only such a person is worthy of sitting on the throne. But who knows that he is pretending, saying one thing in front of others and another behind their backs. His humility in front of others is exchanged for venting behind others. Although Quan Qinglu used to have a bad temper, he would never dare to treat me like this. He didn't dare to care about the child in my belly. He cared more about the military prestige accumulated by the Ye family over the years. This person now is not Quan Qinglu, I am sure!"
Binglan was so scared that she covered her mouth with her hand and looked towards the door in panic. Fortunately, the door was closed, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss, please stop talking. If you want to talk, please speak softly. If the Sixth Prince hears you, he might kill you."
"What's the difference between this and killing me?" Ye Hongzhuang's eyes turned red. "He might as well kill me, so I don't have to be beaten every day, and live a life worse than death. Binglan, let me ask you, do you think he is Quan Qinglu?"
Binglan was Ye Hongzhuang's close maid. After Xiao was released from Qihua Pavilion, she was hurriedly sent to the villa.
Ye Hongzhuang was taken away by the Sixth Prince, and she was destined not to come back, so she had to send a maid to her daughter. As for having a son or a daughter in the future, it didn't matter now, because the Sixth Prince's injury was healed. Without that injury, he could have as many children as he wanted in the future. Ye Hongzhuang was the main wife, and if this one didn't work out, she could still give birth to another one. As long as the position of the main wife was kept, she would not be afraid of anything.
But Xiao never expected, and no one else could have expected that the Prince Su's villa would now be like hell on earth, and Ye Hongzhuang's life was simply like that of the devil.
During the day, she was in high spirits, and everyone respected her as the Princess Su. Whether she was in the mansion or going out with the Sixth Prince, Ye Hongzhuang could enjoy great honor. In particular, the Sixth Prince's demeanor in public made almost half of the people in the inner city praise him.
But only Ye Hongzhuang and Binglan were pretending, pretending for the outsiders. But she couldn't understand, how could a person be so inconsistent? How could they pretend to be so similar in the daytime? It was like two people, one red in the daytime and one black at night.
After hearing her mistress' repeated questions, Binglan could only answer in a very low voice: "Miss, please stop talking like that. Who else could he be but the Sixth Prince? The Sixth Prince used to have a bad temper. I heard that he has many concubines in his house. Some of them were favored one day, and the next day they might be beaten to death for making a mistake. In this way, he is no different from the one now."
"No, it's not like that. There's a big difference." Ye Hongzhuang said, "Although Quan Qinglu had a bad temper in the past, that kind of bad temper was limited. He could kill people, but he would never torture them alive. And he wouldn't pretend. He was the same when he got home as he was outside. If he hated me, it didn't matter whether it was day or night, at home or outside. He hated me. He couldn't pretend to love me like a couple. Now it's different..."
Ye Hongzhuang had something else to say, not because she didn’t want to say it, but because she was afraid. She felt creepy whenever she thought about that incident.
On the night of New Year's Eve, the Sixth Prince returned home. Perhaps he was upset at the palace banquet, or perhaps he drank too much. In short, he ignored her pregnancy and forced her to stay overnight.
She didn't feel anything at the time, she just thought that Quan Qinglu's injury had healed, and she was happy. But women are very sensitive in some aspects, and the lovemaking, from beginning to end, was almost the most terrifying experience she had in the past ten years.
Although this man has good character in this respect, she has a strong feeling: this person is not Quan Qinglu.
She had such a relationship with Quan Qinglu, and Quan Qinglu was the father of the child in her belly. She was too familiar with him. Especially in this aspect, she only had this man, how could she not know his habits and hobbies.
Not only that, what scared her the most was that this person lacked something that Quan Qinglu had always had.
It's a mole, on the left buttock, very obvious.
But this person didn't have that mole. The place where the mole should be was smooth and flat, and she couldn't feel it no matter how hard she touched.
She was almost scared to death at the time, but she didn't dare to say it out loud. She just stared at him, pretending to enjoy it, but her heart was already stirred up by a huge wave. Because the more she looked at him, the less he looked like her, and at such a close distance, the more she looked at him, the less he looked like her.
The eyes were different, the nose was different, and the mouth was different. Although these facial features put together could fool everyone, when she looked at his face almost closely, when she looked at these facial features separately, it was a completely different look.
Ye Hongzhuang was trembling all over, and she huddled tightly in Binglan's arms. She didn't dare to tell Binglan about these things, because they were too weird and no one would believe them. Even Binglan would probably think she was a lunatic and report her situation back to the general's mansion.
She couldn't become a discarded child of the General's Mansion. She had endured so much and couldn't give up at this moment.
"Miss, why don't we run! Find a way to escape back to the General's Mansion. The Old Madam and the Second Madam will definitely take care of it for you."
Ye Hongzhuang pushed Binglan away, "What nonsense are you talking about? I am the wife of Prince Su, and I am pregnant with the young prince, why should I run away? Also, don't call me Miss, call me Princess. This is Prince Su's villa, not the residence of a first-rank general. Since I am married, I should act like a woman. Why do you always call me Miss? Will he be happy when he hears it?"
Binglan quickly knelt down and admitted her fault: "It is all my fault. I will definitely change in the future. Please forgive me, Princess."
Ye Hongzhuang took a deep breath and reached out to pull Binglan, "I'm not angry with you, I just remind you that we can't do anything wrong. No matter what, we must survive in this family. We have to think on the bright side of things. Although he beats me every night, he never goes to other women's rooms except mine. Those concubines and maids in the backyard can't even see him, which is completely different from before. Although he has been in poor health since I got married and has never been to the backyard, I know how much he lingered there before. So it's a good thing to think this way."
Binglan wanted to say that she was addicted to being beaten, and she could even imagine it as a good thing. But she could only think this in her heart and never say it out loud. But it was not good to be beaten like this all the time, so she asked Ye Hongzhuang again: "Does the princess have any other plans? Even if we don't run away, we can't always be in this situation. Sooner or later, we will be beaten to death. Besides, you have a child in your belly, so we have to make some plans. Even if we don't make plans for ourselves, we have to make plans for the future child."
Ye Hongzhuang nodded, "I have to make a plan. I have to leave myself a way out and a way to save my life."
But how to calculate? Before she got married, her mother taught her many ways to calculate, and reminded her almost every day that she must calculate when she lives her life. Only by calculating properly can she have a smooth life.
But in this situation, how should she plan? What can she plan?
Ye Hongzhuang subconsciously touched her belly, and after a while she remembered something.
She said to Binglan, "We have to leave the house tomorrow, so find a way to slip away and go back to the general's house to see my second brother. Tell him to come and see me. If he doesn't come, tell him that I heard a piece of news about the third prince from Quan Qinglu, and I'll tell him when he comes..."
