Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife-Chapter 968: Death Without a Whole Corpse (1)

The woman standing opposite Guh Siyi was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with delicate features, almond-shaped eyes, red lips, and her black hair softly draping over her shoulders. Her figure was very slim, and her naturally small frame made her seem as if she could be easily toppled by a gust of wind.

At this moment, she tightly covered her cheek that Guh Siyi had hit, causing it to swell, and her eyes were brimming with tears.

"...I’m sorry, it’s my fault..." Her voice was exceedingly gentle, the kind that could melt any man’s heart into a puddle.

"I’m sorry?! The plan I painstakingly made for so long has been ruined by you! You didn’t even know you were caught on camera! Do you have a pig’s brain? I’ve wasted so many years raising you! I should have never picked you up from the trash heap!" The more Guh Siyi spoke, the angrier she became, feeling increasingly suffocated. Seeing the woman’s feeble and wronged appearance only fueled her rage more.

"Slap—!"

"Slap—!"

Two more slaps, and the woman’s left and right cheeks were swollen, with traces of fresh blood seeping from the corner of her mouth. She felt a buzzing in her ears, her vision was blurred with white spots, and her heart was filled with bitterness and grievance.

"I’m, I’m sorry..." It seemed that other than this phrase, the frail woman didn’t know what else to say.

Guh Siyi looked at the woman with disgust, feeling more and more that she was extremely lowly and even believed that her mere presence in her room would contaminate her with her lowliness.

"Get out! Crawl back to Shimen and kneel in the Reflection Room for a week, with no cushion!"

Having said that, with a "bang", Guh Siyi turned and closed the inner chamber door.

After Guh Siyi left, the woman stood still dizzily for a while before collapsing to her knees.

She gasped for breath with great effort, struggling to get up from the floor, and walked out of Guh Siyi’s bedroom with difficulty, step by step.

Today, Old Master Guh had taken Ah Cheng out of town; otherwise, Guh Siyi wouldn’t have dared to be so brazen.

"Hey! Are you okay? Did Guh Siyi do this to you?"

Guh Siqi, who had just come out of his bedroom, saw the unsteady woman and hurried over to steady her. Only then did he notice the injuries on her face.

"This is too much! Is Guh Siyi even a woman? How could she hit you like this? Wait here, I’m going to confront her!"

After saying this, Guh Siqi, with fury in his steps, turned to leave but was held back by the woman’s small hands clutching at his shirt.

"Don’t go... please..."

Guh Siqi turned around, and the sight of her delicate and scarred white hands, as well as her helpless and pitiful demeanor, softened his heart.

"What’s your relationship with Guh Siyi? Why did she hit you like that?"

The woman’s tear-filled eyes flickered slightly, and she lowered her head, saying nothing.

Guh Siqi was particularly irritated by the woman’s timorous demeanor; he furrowed his brows and helped her up by her slender arm.

"Forget it, I won’t ask anymore. I’ll find someone to take you back."

Having said that, Guh Siqi supported the woman as they walked down the stairs step by step.

At the entrance of the Guh Family Mansion, the woman graciously refused Guh Siqi’s offer to send someone to escort her and staggered away, supporting herself against the wall.

Watching the woman gradually disappear from his view, Guh Siqi’s brows twitched. He turned and glanced back at the resplendent Guh Family Mansion, his face showing a trace of scorn.

...

The fragile woman, leaning on the corner of the wall, took one step at a time, under the blazing sun. Both sides of her cheeks were burning with pain, and her hair was drenched with sweat, sticky on her neck, making her extremely uncomfortable.
