Chapter 003: Provocation

With a beaming smile, he turned around and gently asked Pearl: "What time is it now?"

The startled girl had not yet regained her composure; she merely pointed blankly to the right.

Indeed, how could He Chuchu not realize that a marriage like this is as legal as it gets, especially since they haven't done anything yet

She lifted the quilt and got out of bed. Under the puzzled expression of Zhen Zhu, she fumbled around, trying to find a watch to check the time. After a long while, she realized that this was ancient times, and such advanced devices did not exist. Well, asking the heavens should be acceptable, she thought to herself, secretly praising her own cleverness as she walked to the window, wanting to see the position of the ever-unchanging sun. As soon as she reached the window, she froze; not a single shadow of the sun was visible. The entire sky was gray and overcast, and apart from knowing it was daytime, she could not distinguish between morning and afternoon. It was simply unhelpful.

The beastly man felt a sense of pride upon seeing He Chuchu looking around anxiously.

He Chuchu bit her lip tightly, holding back her tears

It was evident that Pearl understood He Chuchu, so she left after asking He Chuchu to wait. When she returned, she brought a bowl of rice porridge, and upon seeing the bowl filled with porridge, He Chuchu felt an overwhelming urge to cry.

Let me go back; if I could return, I would not hold anything against anyone. It does not matter who is with whom, as long as I am still alive, life will continue.

Even Miss Lian knows it is impossible. Although previously the prince and the young lady had already developed mutual affection, when the moment arrived, the prince had long regarded the Yu family as enemies

How did the proud daughter of the Yu family end up in such a predicament

Did I say something wrong, Your Highness? You are also capable of being ruthless towards women. Oh, I forgot, for someone like you, how could you occupy such a high position without being cruel

He Chuchu looked innocently at Zhenzhu: "It seems that it's just the right time for hetushu.com to have a meal, is there only this much food in the kitchen"

As she saw the anger gathering in his eyes, He Chuchu helplessly closed her eyes. A gust of wind swept past her ears, and a resounding slap landed on her cheek, causing her to lose her balance and fall to the ground, the burning sensation quickly spreading.

"Minister Yu, um, no, my father?"

Without further ado, I took the rice porridge, and in a whirlwind of speed, it was gone in ten seconds. My stomach was still growling, and it wasn't even enough to fill the bottom.

Miss, are you alright

The lack of culture is truly frightening

Mutual understanding and promises, this situation is somewhat amusing. No wonder before her marriage, Yu Chuchu was so desperate; it turns out she had already taken someone to heart. Unfortunately, fate did not favor her, truly putting this strong woman in a difficult position

Looking back at the pearl, that girl buried her head and said nothing

He Chuchu felt a sense of doubt in her heart, increasingly convinced that life in the twenty-first century was wonderful. Not to mention gender equality, at the very least there is freedom

He Chuchu is also a young professional in the 21st century, and cannot be outdone by someone from ancient times like you

He Chuchu looked at the pearl with great anticipation, while the pearl pondered for a long time, displaying a hesitant demeanor as if it had much to say but could not find the words.

This is what you deserve. If you dare to be insolent in front of this prince again, the reward will not be so light. Consider your father as well; the Yu residence is actually in your hands.

With a bitter smile, He Chuchu has been beaten from the night before until today, and she is truly exhausted both physically and mentally, lacking even the strength to get angry

Martial prowess cannot compete with the cold-hearted prince, so one must seek another way to survive

Is this your means of controlling the Yu family, targeting a woman? Truly, it reflects your despicable nature. Let me make it clear to you: even if the Yu family is in your hands, we will not stand by your side. I will see how you establish yourself in the court without the support of power; I wonder how you will gain the world.

Adopting a serious demeanor, I earnestly asked Pearl: "How can we endure such days? Yesterday we were beaten, and today or tomorrow, who knows what fate awaits us? Following this beastly man, it could very well be that one day marks our demise. It is unrealistic for two weak women like us to turn the tide. Think carefully, is there anyone in a position of power who could assist us?"

The pearls wept for ten minutes on Chu Chu, and seeing that she showed no sign of stopping, I could only push her away with an apologetic expression.

He Chuchu patted her shoulder, displaying an air of righteousness, and said to her: "Do not follow me; I will negotiate with Prince Yi. Trust me."

Do you have concerns? Or is that person capable but unwilling to help

He Chuchu felt a sense of desolation in her heart; even if you give yourself a rocket now, you might not be able to return safely yourself

Does this person understand the concept of cherishing beauty? Using such great force, how deep must the grudge be

Unexpectedly, the foul-faced prince was completely unfazed by He Chuchu's emotions and began to press forward step by step. He Chuchu could only retreat, and with a thud, her back hit the wall painfully. With her other hand groping behind her, she realized, oh no, there was no escape.

Little Nizi was startled by He Chuchu's actions, throwing herself onto He Chuchu while crying and shouting: "Miss, you scared Zhenzhu to death. Miss, let's go home, can we go home?"

I was still thinking about how Pearl could endure and cry in her arms, but seeing Pearl with tears like pear blossoms only left me at a loss. It seems that the saying holds true: Woman, your name is Weakness.

Conditions, exchange

Have you seen enough

The micro website .com .com slightly opens its mouth, as water flows over the delicate lips, gliding down the throat, sweet as honey

Having said that, he turned and walked towards the door

Opening my eyes, I saw Pearl leaning over the edge of the bed with a cup in her hand, her face filled with urgency. A warm current surged in my heart as I smiled at her.

He Chuchu cast a glance at that superstar-like unpleasant face, her gaze landing on the arm that he was tightly gripping.

The young lady is joking; before Prince Zhi planned to take action against the Yu residence, he had already dispatched people to closely monitor the master and mistress. Whatever the master and mistress did, Prince Zhi was fully aware of it.

Respect, a fragile young woman who can barely protect herself dares to speak of respect in front of this prince. Do you think this is the Yu residence? Even if it were the Yu residence, I doubt anyone would dare to speak to me in such a manner

It seems that we cannot rely on the prince after all; we must depend on our own people

Gooーー

He Chuchu squinted at Zhenzhu, gripping her shoulder, feeling her back suddenly straighten. Looking into her eyes, he was extremely serious.

A cold and mocking voice sounded behind He Chuchu, who instinctively activated her self-defense system, turning around to swing her palm, only to find herself trapped in mid-air, unable to move.

However, just now I was forcefully observing him, losing composure, losing composure. Why does my immune system drop to below zero the moment I see a handsome guy

It is precisely the hour of Shen.

Should retribution really come so swiftly? Just a few hours ago, I slapped Ma Jun, and now someone has taken his place. Tsk tsk, my entire face is burning hot, and the strike was indeed delivered with great force.

Miss Gui, it is now the time of Shen.

Your Highness, it is not appropriate to treat women so lightly.

He Chuchu was previously completely exhausted, and now must be on guard everywhere to protect herself, which is a tragic fate

He Chuchu turned around and stared fiercely at the cold and aloof Prince of the *Tu* Book standing in front of her

Zhen Zhu fell to her knees with a thud and began to weep: "Miss, I am also powerless. The prince's order is that you shall receive nothing to eat for three days. What you just ate was my food; it is my fault. How could I allow the esteemed body of the young lady to consume such coarse grains?"

Um... what time is Shen Shi?

Water, give me water

Pearl was quite startled, remaining dazed for a while, and nodded blankly.

Since she is your royal consort, there should at least be a minimum level of respect

Well, relying on one's own people has also failed, then let us eliminate He Chuchu. Heaven, I truly wish to exchange something with you under certain conditions

Once again, it is a cold tone, having grown up eating ice, isn't it, Your Highness?

The so-called bowl is about the size of a teacup, and in ancient times, the delicate ladies of the household had appetites akin to that of cats, which explains why they all resembled Lin Daiyu.

In the past, when I read "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," the character Xiang Shaolong traveled back in time and needed to use lightning and some kind of resistance ring as a medium. As a relatively weak young woman, facing this situation with no understanding of it, what should I do

This is something one is adept at, much like a negotiation in the business arena

It is to the prince ... ...

As for the pearl, He Chuchu looked ahead; the door was closed, and in the vast bedroom, apart from the beast before her, there was not a single ghostly shadow.

Open your eyes wide; it has been a long time since I have stared at a man up close, aside from Ma Jun. To be precise, he is a handsome man, with skin even fairer than my own. His beautiful brows and eyes exude a kind of intimidating dominance, complemented by a high nose bridge. Even with a cold smile, his lips are captivating, embodying the typical mixed-race charm of European and American descent. If he were in modern times, he would undoubtedly be a superstar

Do not be weak, the counterattack begins

He Chuchu murmured excitedly

The pent-up anger in my heart was successfully ignited by his provocative words. I, having come here without any knowledge, have previously endured so much suffering. Now, I am living in fear and being humiliated, with the sharpness and malice of his words akin to that of a master from a long lineage.

Having said that, he turned and walked towards the door

Consulting a person is not necessarily a good method. At the hour of Shen, a thought suddenly struck He Chuchu; her mother had once mentioned that she was born at the hour of Shen, which is around 5 o'clock.

After listening to He Chuchu, one can't help but roll their eyes. Having been beaten and still without food, how did one fall to such a low point? Who have they offended

This is not a case of lifting a stone only to drop it on one's own foot

He Chuchu spoke in a hoarse voice

There is no need to search anymore; it is just us here. When have I ever treated you lightly? Even if I have, so what? You are still a princess.

He Chuchu's stomach emitted an unseemly sound, and she suddenly realized that she had not eaten since throwing a tantrum before getting dressed. She had indeed done a disservice to her stomach; the body is the foundation of revolution, so it is essential to fill oneself up first before addressing other matters

Then, tell me, where is Prince Yi?

This truly is a case of calling to the heavens without response, and calling to the earth without answer

He Chuchu's head was buzzing as she saw a blurry figure rushing towards her. It should be Pearl, smiling at her, before she fainted on the ground

With all my might, I strive to break free from the shackles, yet I feel his grip tightening ever more, rendering me immobile, leaving me with no choice but to glare fiercely at him

Uncertain how much time has passed, my throat feels as if ants are crawling in it, and moving my lips brings a sharp, tearing pain

A scoop of cold water extinguished He Chuchu's hope. How could these two archrivals expect the prince to assist the princess?

In the end, looking back with a clear gaze, she said: "Being confined here for three days will help you cultivate your patience, so that you can become a qualified princess consort."

Wait, conditions, exchange

Pearl, I have thought of it; we will live very well, trust me
