Chapter 220 is a joke.
Quanshuizhuang.
Three days passed without any movement from the village.
Wen Yitong went from being full of expectations at the beginning to being completely heartbroken at the end.
She stared blankly at the ray of light in front of her, her mind racing with a thousand thoughts.
Three days have passed, why hasn't her father come to find her yet?
Once such a thought entered her mind, it grew stronger and stronger. She couldn't understand how she had fallen to such a state. Just moments before, she had led five hundred guards to teach Madam Chen Che a lesson, but now...
Countless thoughts raced through Wen Yitong's mind. Finally, she lowered her head and looked at her bound hands. There were already bruises on her wrists, which looked even more frightening on her slender white wrists.
Her lips moved a few times, as if she wanted to speak, but she found her voice to be hoarse beyond recognition.
Just then, footsteps sounded outside the door.
Upon hearing the footsteps, Wen Yitong's numb eyes suddenly lit up with a dazzling light. She stared intently at the approaching person, her heart filled with boundless hope.
It must be her father who sent someone to fetch her!
The thought crossed Wen Yitong's mind, and her heart pounded uncontrollably.
But just then, a very familiar face opened the door.
—Granny Qi.
"why you?"
Upon seeing Granny Qi, Wen Yitong felt as if her heart had been gripped tightly. She opened her mouth to speak, but was met with a cold glance from Granny Qi.
"What's wrong?" Granny Qi knew what Wen Yitong was thinking as soon as she saw her expression.
She sneered, "You think Prince Xin can still come to your rescue? He's a traitor everyone hates now, he can't even protect himself, you're so naive."
Wen Yitong gritted her teeth but ignored what Granny Qi said.
She had known all along that she was the only bloodline of Prince Xin. In Prince Xin's heart, her existence was more important than anything else. If she died, what would it matter if Prince Xin obtained the throne? No one could inherit his throne. In the end, wouldn't it all be for nothing?
It was precisely because she had this confidence that she was certain she could escape Wen Shuyao's clutches.
Seeing Wen Yitong's arrogant demeanor, Granny Qi couldn't help but laugh out loud: "There have been many changes in the capital these past few days. You've been locked up in this courtyard, so I'm afraid you know nothing about it."
Upon hearing this, Wen Yitong glanced at Granny Qi and said, "If you know what's good for you, release me and I might spare your life."
Granny Qi laughed heartily: "Throughout history, how many people have plotted rebellion? But how many have succeeded? Quite a few have failed. Going back twenty-five years, our Emperor has even killed several princes."
"It's true that Prince Xin rebelled, and it's also true that he had tens of thousands of private soldiers." Granny Qi sighed and shook her head as she said this, "It's just a pity that he lost."
"He has been imprisoned in the imperial prison, awaiting his fate." Granny Qi looked at Wen Yitong's drastically changed expression with pity, paused for a moment, and said, "His private soldiers are either dead or have fled, and you have lost your support."
Wen Yitong was both vicious and naive; at this moment, she actually believed that Prince Xin could win this rebellion.
It's both pitiful and laughable.
Granny Qi's pitying gaze deeply stung Wen Yitong.
She snapped, "Don't look at me like that!"
Just like in her dream, Granny Qi looked at her with the same eyes. At that time, she was making a scene with Xie Jinghan, who had been stripped of his title as a prince, and was demanding a divorce.
Time has come to this point, and Granny Qi still has the same look in her eyes.
Is everything she did really so laughable?
Granny Qi sighed: "Today, we will be returning to the capital."
Upon hearing this, Wen Yitong was stunned, a chill rising within her. She unconsciously clenched her hands, and just as she was about to speak, she heard Granny Qi continue, "You are the daughter of Prince Xin, and you will also be sent to the Heavenly Prison."
Looking at Wen Yitong before her, Granny Qi calmly recounted her fate.
Upon hearing this, Wen Yitong shuddered. Then, as if a sudden realization dawned on her, she clenched her hands tightly and said hatefully, "You want to kill me?"
"Since you've already decided to kill, why don't you do it now?" Wen Yitong asked aggressively, her mind clouded. "Why wait until we return to the capital to make your move?"
"Naturally, it's because you've repeatedly tried to harm the Princess." Granny Qi looked down at her and casually uttered a sentence, "The Prince will personally deal with you and Madam Wen."
Wen Yitong's pupils constricted instantly, and the whites of her eyes became bloodshot: "He's going to deal with me personally?"
Wen Yitong's words were spoken in a tender and affectionate tone, which made Granny Qi frown.
Even though the prince and she had been engaged, nothing had happened between them. Listening to Wen Yitong's words, it seemed as if there was some lingering affection between them.
"His Highness did this for the sake of the Princess Consort." Granny Qi emphasized repeatedly, "His Highness cherishes the Princess Consort and naturally does not want to see villains causing trouble around her. The reason for sending you back to the capital for punishment is twofold: first, to avenge the Princess Consort, and second, to warn those who harbor ill intentions towards the Princess Consort and make them watch their skin."
Upon hearing this, Wen Yitong's blank expression froze for a moment.
She chuckled softly, "So that's how it is... Yes... In this world, he would only go this far for Wen Shuyao... In the end, I lost."
She lost completely! In her dream, she was entangled with Xie Jinghan for years, but in the end, all she got was Xie Jinghan's nonchalant "Then let's get a divorce."
However, Wen Shuyao, who had only been married to Xie Jinghan for half a year, had already firmly captured Xie Jinghan's heart, and even... she could make Xie Jinghan willingly deal with these trivial matters that Xie Jinghan once considered insignificant.
Who is she? She's a joke!
Wen Yitong laughed out loud, a laugh both sorrowful and cold: "I lost to her!"
Wen Shuyao was clearly inferior to her in every way, and she was clearly the perfect daughter-in-law in the eyes of all the ladies in the capital, but in the end... she still lost to Wen Shuyao's face.
Granny Qi frowned and reminded him, "The prince and princess are in love, and they have never treated anyone so specially before."
"As for you..." Granny Qi said coldly, her voice filled with resentment, "You're just lucky to have been engaged to the Prince."
“Given your status, Yuan is not allowed to marry the Prince,” Granny Qi said with disgust. “You are an illegitimate daughter born out of wedlock; how could you be worthy of the Prince?”
Every word Qi Mama said deeply affected Wen Yitong's nerves.
Wen Yitong's eyes were bloodshot, and she wished she could tear Granny Qi to pieces.
In the end, all she could do was let out a feeble scream.
"I want to see Wen Shuyao!"
Wen Yitong shouted, "I want to see Wen Shuyao!"
Her hoarse voice echoed in the courtyard, sounding quite eerie.
Without a second thought, Granny Qi refused her, but Wen Yitong then said, "I have a secret to tell her."
