Chapter 010 Threats

Ning Xin understood that she would not disappoint the prince. Lowering her head, Dongfang Ning Xin looked at her own hands. These hands... had changed from delicate to rough, from soft to stiff. Could her hands still play the piano now

Since that is the case, then bear the cost of ruining this king's legs

Hahaha, this is the reward for her saving people with Dongfang Ningxin, truly wonderful

"I thank His Highness for sparing my life." Observe how humble Dongfang Ningxin is, and see how hypocritical she is. Dongfang Ningxin, lying on the ground, bites her lip, desperately holding back her tears.

As soon as the words were spoken, a hand was waved

Ningxin understands clearly

"You have ruined this king's leg?" After a long pause, he opened his mouth to utter such a grave accusation.

At this moment, in the proud black eyes of Xue Tian'ao, only a cold frost lingered as he coldly said: "Now, I give you an opportunity to redeem your sins. Seven days from now, I will hold a musical competition at my residence. I do not care what methods you use; you must win. If you lose..." His eyes, like those of a deathly judge, were filled with murderous intent as they fixed upon Dongfang Ningxin.

"Yes, Your Highness, your great kindness is something I, Ningxin, will never forget." Gritting her teeth, she spat out a mouthful of blood. Dongfang Ningxin knew that Xue Tian'ao had not struck too hard, for her ribs were still intact and had not been broken, which was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune

With her head lowered and eyes cast down, Dongfang Ningxin felt a bitter smile in her heart. She knew full well that this man was unreasonable, yet she still harbored the hope that he might, out of gratitude for saving his life, allow her to have a peaceful existence. However, she did not want to...

On a snowy day, Ao sat coldly on the bed, gazing at Dongfang Ningxin. After three months, he was almost forgetting that he had a wife. Unfortunately, a poisoning incident brought them together again, and it allowed him to uncover the slight value she had hidden beneath her ugly appearance. Since that is the case, he might as well make good use of it.

"I acknowledge my wrongdoing and request the prince to impose punishment." Knowing that any defense would be futile, why bother to speak further? Dongfang Ningxin graciously admits her fault; it would be remarkable if she were allowed to stay in the stable once more, after all, the weather has warmed up...

Choked with tears, Dongfang Ningxin stepped out of the room, indifferent, amidst the snowy day

From the day she moved into the stable at the Snow Prince's residence, she gave up playing the piano, for the meaning of Snow Tian'ao was quite clear. She, Dongfang Ningxin, was not the wife he desired; in the Snow Prince's residence, she was treated worse than a servant. What use was there in playing the piano?

Dong ... ...

If you lose, I shall destroy your hands. I have heard that you have been intelligent since childhood, able to read ten lines at a glance, excelling in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, especially skilled in writing beautifully. It is said that your hands can produce books, is that so?" Xue Tian'ao recounted everything he knew one by one.

Struggling to rise, Dongfang Ningxin stood unsteadily, her calm and composed gaze fixed on the man she had saved, Ao in the snowy day. She felt neither joy nor sorrow, nor did she regret waking this man, for his death would also mean the end of her own life.

The cold swept over Ningxin's hands in the east. These hands had been administering injections for him for seven days, and he certainly understood that they could not recover in a short period. But so what? These were not matters he needed to consider.

The prince ... ... thud. On a snowy day, Dongfang Ningxin could not maintain the demeanor of a princess in front of Aomian, and very cooperatively knelt down.

Hmph, this king does not deign to argue with a woman

"Go away, I do not wish to see your face." The hurtful words slipped out.

Dongfang Ningxin only felt as if he had been violently thrown up by someone, and then heavily fell back down, his whole body crashing onto the ground, his chest aching painfully, with a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth

In fact, Xue Tian'ao still greatly admires Dongfang Ningxin. For such a woman to possess such talent is truly rare. Unfortunately, she is Dongfang Ningxin, the infamous ugly woman of Tianyao, the woman rejected by the Emperor

This is a threat, a blatant threat, but can Dongfang Ningxin refuse it? ... No ... . ... Even though she is the savior of the man before her, she can turn from benefactor to sinner because of his words, and the reasoning she cannot argue against is the same.

Dongfang Ningxin was once again brought before Xue Tian'ao by Shihu, feeling a vague sense of unease in her heart. She knew that her initial decision to force poison into his legs was wrong, but it was the only method she could think of to save Xue Tian'ao's life

Eastern Ningxin, you have seven days to prepare. During these seven days, this king will ensure that everyone in the royal residence cooperates fully. You should understand the expectations this king has for you
