The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law-Chapter 1656 - 1659: Bleeding Into the Prince Residence

Zhang Shiyu stepped closer and closer to the gates of Ningwang Residence, the sound of her bleeding, the steps heavier with each print, finally woke up the two guards.

They rubbed their sleepy eyes, and in the dim light, a woman in full red attire holding a glistening white dagger startled them into a shiver, prompting them to swiftly draw their swords.

"Stop!"

"Who are you?" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Zhang Shiyu slowly approached step by step, shouting loudly, "Open the door!"

As they got closer, the two guards could finally see clearly who it was.

Wearing exquisitely crafted bridal attire, she held a flashing dagger in one hand while the other hand dripped with blood.

The second Miss of the Zhang Family, everyone knew Miss Zhang was getting married today, she should be in her bridal chamber at this time, why would she appear here?

"Open the door!" Zhang Shiyu shouted fiercely once more, truly startling the two guards.

"Miss Zhang, your hand is bleeding."

"Yes, Miss Zhang, you should quickly go back and stop the bleeding!"

Zhang Shiyu curled her lips into a strange smile and said, "Isn’t Gu Youyou a doctor? I’m here to find her, open the door, do you want to watch me bleed to death?"

Pushed to the brink, Zhang Shiyu cut another wound on her arm.

The two guards were scared to death; no matter how infamous Zhang Shiyu’s reputation was, she was still the Prime Minister’s most beloved daughter, not someone mere guards could afford to offend.

The two of them had to make a temporary decision – one stayed behind to comfort and calm her, while the other went inside to report to Jin Zijin and Gu Youyou.

What an unfortunate night for them to be on night duty.

"Miss Zhang, please, why not put the knife down first. I have older ones and young ones to care for. If you’re going to commit suicide, please don’t drag me along!"

"Get out of the way!" Zhang Shiyu shouted fiercely at the guard.

"Miss Zhang?" The guard was almost in tears, just hoping his companion could be faster. Facing a frantic Miss Zhang, he was moments from dropping to his knees!

"Didn’t you hear me? I told you to get out!"

Seeing the guard not budging, Zhang Shiyu placed the dagger against her neck threateningly.

The guard, tongue-tied with fear, exclaimed urgently, "I... I, ah ah! Miss Zhang, don’t, don’t, I’ll let you, I’ll let..."

Seeing the blood starting to flow from Zhang Shiyu’s neck, the guard could only relent.

With excessive blood loss, Zhang Shiyu’s steps began to falter.

She bit her tongue to stay more alert and started running down the main road towards Jin Zijin and Gu Youyou’s main courtyard.

The guard dared not come near, only following her from behind.

Numerous servants were startled awake, putting on their clothes to watch the commotion.

Gu Youyou and Jin Zijin also got up, clad in pajamas, only to see Zhang Shiyu in full red attire, appearing maniacal.

Gu Youyou looked at her in disbelief and said, "Are you crazy? You’re supposed to be marrying, what madness is this at our place?"

Jin Zijin asked the guard, "Have you notified Prime Minister Zhang?"

"Not yet, not yet!" The guard shook his head dumbfoundedly, then turned and ran towards the Chancellor Residence to inform Prime Minister Zhang.

Zhang Shiyu propped up her spirit, looked at Gu Youyou, and laughed maniacally, "You, you wouldn’t let me in, but I still got in! I’m wearing a wedding dress, even if I die, I’ll die here!"

Gu Youyou was horrified, realizing this girl truly was mentally unhinged.

Seeing Zhang Shiyu’s bleeding hand, driven by a doctor’s instinct, she wanted to stop the bleeding first.

However, Jin Zijin stopped her.
