What Bad Intentions can the Yandere Crown Prince have?-Chapter 61: I Like Obedient Girls

"Why are you here?" Pingyang Princess said ’you’, but her eyes were fixed on Zhao Jing, her whole body tense, like a hedgehog facing an enemy. She was so alert that even Tang Xiaobai felt it was a bit exaggerated, like a bluffing gesture.

"Zhao Jing heard that you were traveling to Fan Chuan today and was afraid you’d be displeased by coming alone, so he dragged me along." The other person briefly explained, then, as if noticing something, slightly frowned and turned to look at Tang Xiaobai.

Tang Xiaobai was suddenly startled by the overwhelming aura of dominance and coolness.

Tang Jiaojiao thought she was frightened, so she pulled her into her arms, nodded as a greeting to the counterpart, "Prince Jin."

Prince Jin, Li Shu, turned his cold face away, only to see that Pingyang Princess ignored Zhao Jing but urged her horse to be closer to Tang Jiaojiao, as if regarding Miss Tang as a pillar of support.

Remembering the things Zhao Jing had mentioned to him earlier, Li Shu’s eyes darkened as he said coldly, "I have a few words I’d like to say to Miss Tang. Please give us some privacy, sister."

Prince Jin, Li Shu, was the eldest prince born of Consort Zheng and was regarded by many as the most likely to succeed to the throne. Pingyang Princess couldn’t afford to offend him despite her unwillingness, so she left with the others. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Only Gu Yuan remained, unfazed after being glanced at coldly and indifferently by Li Shu several times, maintaining a few steps of distance.

As for Tang Xiaobai, making things convenient was impossible; she acted like she was glued to Miss Tang.

Among the remaining, who else could match Tang Jiaojiao’s courage? No sooner than they started leaving, they wisely made way for Zhao Jing.

Watching Zhao Jing riding alongside Pingyang Princess, Tang Xiaobai couldn’t help but suspect that Li Shu was specifically brought by Zhao Jing to distract Tang Jiaojiao.

But—

Why was it Li Shu?

"How are the injuries from Jinchang Village last time?" Li Shu asked, his gaze naturally falling upon Miss Tang’s neck.

The beauty of a woman is not just in her face; her graceful posture, flawless white skin, and even her gentle, melodious voice all contribute.

Though Tang Jiaojiao was only thirteen, she was undoubtedly a beauty with a slender neck and snowy skin, often envied by Tang Xiaobai.

So how could her swan-like neck be ogled by a scoundrel?

Tang Xiaobai immediately straightened her back, subtly pushing her head against Tang Jiaojiao’s chin, successfully blocking Li Shu’s line of sight.

Li Shu glanced at her indifferently, just as Miss Tang answered, "It’s much better now, thank you, Prince Jin, for your concern."

Her voice wasn’t gentle or melodious but crisp and clear like a jade chime.

Li Shu then shifted his gaze to her face, asking, "Did Zhao Jing come to apologize?"

A trace of displeasure flashed in Tang Jiaojiao’s eyes as she said, "He did come—"

"Since he has apologized, I hope this matter can be put to rest," Li Shu interrupted coldly, "Zhao Jing and Pingyang’s wedding is imminent, and I will not tolerate anyone stirring trouble over personal grudges."

Tang Jiaojiao held down the little girl, who was about to explode with indignation, slightly bowing her head in a submissive tone, "I’ll remember your words, Your Highness."

The more prideful a beauty is, the more satisfying it is to see her bow.

Li Shu gazed at her for a moment, a tiny smile playing on his lips, murmuring praise, "Very well, I like obedient girls."

Tang Xiaobai, who was held down firmly by Miss Tang: !!!

"Sister!" the young girl suddenly screamed, loud enough for the group near Pingyang Princess to hear and turn their heads.

Nearby, Gu Yuan’s face changed instantly: "What’s wrong with Xiaobai?" and hastened his horse forward.

The young girl scrunched her face in pain, rolling into her sister’s arms, "Sister, my stomach hurts... whimper, whimper, I want to go home..."

... ...

The promising outing ended shortly after it began, as they headed back immediately.

Inside the spacious, luxurious carriage, the young girl lay across her sister’s lap, weakly murmuring "ouch, ouch", sounding truly pitiful.

After listening to the noises outside the carriage for a while and ensuring they had traveled a safe distance, Miss Tang pushed away the still-whimpering young girl coldly, "Stop pretending!"

Upon pushing her away, she found the young girl’s dark eyes filled with unshed tears, looking rather convincing.

Tang Jiaojiao couldn’t help but feel a pang of concern, "Does it really hurt?"

Tang Xiaobai sniffed, shaking her head, "I was just trying to have fun—"

Before she could finish, Tang Jiaojiao gave her a light slap on the head.

"Why was it so hard? Can’t you come again the next off day?" Tang Jiaojiao glared at her with disappointed anger, "Why is my sister so hopeless?"

Tang Xiaobai retorted, "And you think you’re competent? How can you let Prince Jin get you to comply so easily?"

Tang Jiaojiao blushed, scolding, "When was I compliant? He’s a prince; should I start a quarrel instead?"

Tang Xiaobai hesitated, "So you’re not really compliant in your heart?" She remembered in the original plot, Tang Jiaojiao never dared defy Li Shu, like a lamb before him.

"I’m compliant! Too compliant!" Tang Jiaojiao rolled her eyes, "Prince Jin is so clearly siding with Zhao Jing; I couldn’t be more convinced!"

With this, Tang Xiaobai was relieved and added, "Not just siding! He’s basically grinding our Duke Yan Mansion’s face into the dirt!"

Successfully riling up a hint of murderous intent in Miss Tang’s expression, perfect!

Tang Xiaobai pressed on, "Did you hear what he said? He likes obedient girls? Just because he likes it, we have to obey? Where does it leave the honor of our Duke Yan Mansion? Sister, isn’t that right?"

Tang Jiaojiao gave her a sideways glance, semi-amused, "What exactly are you trying to provoke?"

Huh? Caught so quickly?

"No provocation!" Tang Xiaobai said righteously, "We are true sisters; only others with ill intentions would try to drive a wedge between us, but I’m not stirring anything between you two, am I?"

Matters between true sisters cannot be called provocation, can they?

Tang Jiaojiao didn’t let herself be swayed, sitting back upright to examine her, "Why do you harbor such hostility towards Prince Jin?"

"Because he’s bad!" Tang Xiaobai answered straightforwardly, "When I was taken to the Crown Prince Mansion, you asked him for help to get me out, but he took the chance to sow discord between us and the Crown Prince Mansion. I was a child, just like the Crown Prince, and you trusted him so much, but when did he ever have any pity?"

Tang Jiaojiao seriously considered it before saying, "He’s Prince Jin and has his own standpoint and considerations, it’s not worth holding a grudge for something like this."

Tang Xiaobai hadn’t expected Miss Tang to take the high road of benevolence.

After contemplating for a while and probingly asked, "Sister, is there any story between you and Prince Jin?"

She had considered the situation.

Why did Zhao Jing bring Li Shu today? It must be related to the phrase "I know your secret" from last time.

She had searched through the original plot repeatedly in her mind, finally recalling an old story.

Zhao Jing might have known about that incident—
