The villain is ruthless

Chapter 593 Don't Take Your Highness ([-])

Jiang Zhu was annoyed by Granny Liang's stalking, and directly stated that she had no intention of getting married, and hoped that she would stop pestering her.

Granny Liang was quite unhappy when she heard the words. In her opinion, Jiang Zhu was already very old, and her nephew and grandson being able to marry her regardless of past suspicions was a blessing she had cultivated in several lifetimes, and she had no chance to be picky at all.

She thought so in her heart, but she couldn't say it out of her mouth. She changed her aggressiveness before, and pretended to speak earnestly, "Girl Jiang, you have to think about yourself. You are thinking about your brother now. When he grows up, why don't you still think about it?" Is it impossible to be by your side all the time? He also wants to marry a wife, and it's not beautiful for you to delay yourself for him. "

Jiang Zhu: "..." What does it matter if she delays herself or not?

"I don't agree with this matter." Jiang Zhu's tone was decisive, not wanting to talk too much with Granny Liang, and turned to ask the old man driving the ox cart if he had seen the little prince.

The old man froze for a moment, and suddenly remembered the young man he saw half an hour ago, with disheveled hair, red eyes, and crazy expression, like a madman.

With trembling arms, he pointed in a direction, "Young man must have gone to that place."

Jiang Zhu looked in the direction he pointed, and found that he was in the village, and he didn't know what he was going for.

"Old man, wait, wait for me to find him back."

After all, Jiang Zhu headed in that direction,

Seeing this, Granny Liang snorted coldly in her heart, feeling that she didn't know how to flatter her, she said so, but she still didn't want to, when she was older, she would know what was good or bad.

Jiang Zhu soon found the little prince. He was standing by the cold pond, looking at the water in front of him, his back was frozen and dead.

Jiang Zhu stopped, looked at his figure silently, and had the illusion that he would jump off the next moment.

The little prince heard the footsteps, but he didn't turn his head, he was stunned.

His back is very thin, with the loneliness of a teenager, giving people an unreasonable loneliness.

Jiang Zhu didn't make a sound, stepped on the dead branches and walked to his side, she could see his face from the side, but she didn't move, she was looking at the deep pool water like him.

"I thought you wouldn't come to me."

This time it was the little prince who spoke first, his voice was very soft, like catkins in spring, which would disperse as soon as he blew.

——"Why don't you go?"

Jiang Zhu also wanted to ask herself why she didn't leave. According to her bad temper before, she would have left him long ago, but now she couldn't do it.

"Maybe I don't want to be alone." She said unhurriedly, and gave an uncertain answer.

"Do you think I can accompany you?" The little prince's voice was hoarse, "What can you get from me?"

"What can I get from you?" Jiang Zhu asked him back, "What have you given me?"

The little prince froze, as if thinking of the fact that he had been raised by Jiang Zhu all these years, Jiang Zhu couldn't help but sneer, and didn't pretend to be in love with him anymore, "You are right in saying something, you now Not the prince anymore."

"Since you are not the prince anymore, don't immerse yourself in the past time. Memories will not bring you any benefits, but will only increase your depression."

The gentleness on her face faded, her tone was terribly cold, revealing a sense of burnout that no one could ignore, as if she had had enough of his capriciousness.

"You and I both know that I am not your handmaid. I am willing to support you. Maybe it is out of compassion, or I see the possibility of a comeback from you—no matter what it is, if you let me down again, then you Just stay alone, I think you like it too."

After speaking, Jiang Zhu didn't even look at him, unwilling to take care of his glassy heart, turned around and left without looking back.

The little prince stood where he was, recalling what Jiang Zhu said in his mind, his complexion suddenly turned pale, and the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, proclaiming his inner unrest.

Jiang Zhu's words obviously did not mean to be joking.

She is really tired of him.

The disgust in that tone made him impossible to ignore.

The little prince silently clenched his fists, the corners of his mouth were about to bleed, he hated her pity for him, but he couldn't ignore it all.

Without her, I wouldn't be who I am now.

He asked himself, does he really want to lose it all?Lost her gaze, lost the warmth that made him crave, lost everything now.

He already knew the answer in his heart.

It's just that she doesn't want to admit that his pride, cowardice, depression, and self-loathing are all seen by her.

He was afraid of his real self, afraid of her disappointed eyes.

However, it was useless for him to be afraid.

-

Jiang Zhu waited by the bullock cart for half an hour, seeing that the little prince still hadn't come back, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Let's go."

She didn't want to wait any longer. A person who didn't want to face his inner world directly, why should he wait.

"That's good." The old driver didn't ask where the little prince was going, he untied the rope and planned to drive the cattle away.

Jiang Zhu looked back at where the little prince was, feeling extremely complicated.

She even had the feeling that she had done something wrong. If she hadn't stayed with the little prince after waking up in the original owner's body, but had let him fend for himself, everything would have been different.

The ox cart gradually left the village, but Jiang Zhu did not wait for the little prince after all.

She turned around and looked at the scenery passing by her with no expression on her face.

Back in the town, Jiang Zhu didn't let himself think about those bad things, and immersed himself in researching new foods.

The little prince came back in the afternoon, he was in a mess and disheveled, even the new clothes on his body were covered with traces.

He stood silently at the door of the house, looking at Jiang Zhu in a daze, like a child who couldn't find a home, feeling lonely all over his body.

Jiang Zhu stood up and looked at him. He was holding the hem of his clothes tightly, with a hint of fear on his face.

As if she was afraid that she would not want him.

I am afraid that I will come back late.

"I……"

He stood at a loss, his eyes were deeply dark, "I—"

"Come in." Seeing him like this, Jiang Zhu just wanted to help his forehead, what else could he say about the child he raised.

The little prince's cold body seemed to be alive, and he walked gently to Jiang Zhu's side.

He pursed his lips and whispered, "I'm back."

"Understood." Jiang Zhu didn't intend to continue to tangle with him. For her, it was already progress for him to come back.

She couldn't ask for more from the brat.

At least, he still knows to return to her side.

"Go and wash your hands," she said lightly, "I'll eat right away."

The little prince said "hmm", ran to the well, washed his hands, walked up to Jiang Zhu, looked down at his toes, and looked terribly obedient, with an inexplicably pitiful look on his face.

Jiang Zhu couldn't see him like this, the little prince in front of her had always been proud and dignified, his current appearance made people both headache and distressed.

I can't wait to put all the good things in the world in front of him.

Of course, this is not the original him, but just a part of him, telling her that he is willing to talk to her, willing to reconcile with her, and even treats her as his own, letting her know the uneasiness in her heart.

This is progress.
