The Coming Heroine: The Only Princess - Chapter 258

Chapter 258 Unfulfilled Vow

After listened to Mammy Huang’s praise, Shen Xiaoyan smiled shyly and lowered her head.

Her face turned rosier and she said, “I’m flattered. Please sit down!”

Mammy Huang praised her again and then told Xiaoyan that Master Li had taken a fancy to her and decided to accept her as the third wife. This was really a heaven-sent fortune.

Mammy Huang looked at Shen Xiaoyan with a flattering look on her face, and she asked the third wife to take care of her in the future.

The marriage was like a thunder. Shen Xiaoyan was shocked instantly. Her mind and body were suddenly frozen and she paused.

She quickly calmed down and hurriedly declined.

Seeing Shen Xiaoyan refusing, Mammy Huang shook her head and was a little puzzled. Such a good marriage was rare, how could she miss it? There were many people who wanted to play up to Master Li. There was no woman who didn’t want to be the hostess of Li Mansion, but unfortunately they didn’t have the luck.

Xiaoyan was young and beautiful, and Master Li was very fond of her. If she could have a few children, the grand family would belong to her sooner or later. This was a great thing that was hard to find in the world.

Mammy Huang cautioned Xiaoyan that one should be grateful. Master Li was so caring that she shouldn’t be ruthless and unreasonable. She couldn’t let the master down.

Shen Xiaoyan panicked and hurriedly said, “This marriage was really impossible. I… I already have a fiancé. His surname is Liu, and he is preparing to marry me. I… I thank Master Li for his kindness, but please forgive me that I can’t agree.”

She was helpless and could only decline.

Mammy Huang snorted disdainfully. Xiaoyan was already the madam of Li Mansion, and the previous marriage contract was null and void, and no one dared to make trouble. Even if being invited, no one dared to steal people from here. Whoever dared to go against Li Mansion would be injured for the best, and for the worst be killed.

She told Xiaoyan that the marriage had been settled and she would marry Master Li tomorrow. She would enjoy life happily in the future.

Shen Xiaoyan was flustered and still declined. Such being the case, she couldn’t spend the night in Li Mansion. She got up and wanted to leave.

Mammy Huang immediately changed her expression and pressed Shen Xiaoyan down. Her flattering face disappeared long ago, and her face was full of fierce.

Mammy Huang’s eyes widened and she snapped sharply, “Don’t be unappreciative. Is Li Mansion the place where you can come and go at will? You should obey the arrangements, and it’s not your turn to decide. It was decided by Master Li. Whether you agree or not, it will happen, and I’m just informing you. Now, the whole family is preparing for tomorrow’s wedding, and no one can stop it. You just wait to get married.”

She persuaded Xiaoyan to be sensible, and obedience would be of great benefit. Otherwise she would suffer physically. If that was the case, Xiaoyan could only be the plaything of Master Li, and it would be no longer possible for her to be his wife.

Two attitudes would cause two completely different endings. She should understand the situation and stop doing stupid things.

Shen Xiaoyan was crying anxiously, “No, I can’t agree! I already have a fiancé, and it was settled by my parents. I can’t break an engagement and get married again.”

Mammy Huang’s eyes flashed fiercely, she scolded her for being unappreciative. She warned Xiaoyan that whether she married or not, she would belong to Li Mansion, and it was useless to argue about it.

She no longer paid attention to Xiaoyan and left in anger.

Shen Xiaoyan broke free from the maidservant’s pull and wanted to leave here as soon as possible, but she was stopped by the family waiting outside the gate. She was completely desperate.

She never expected that Li Wanfu looked amiable, but he was a beast in human face, and she was forced to marry him by being fooled into the house.

Xiaoyan was unlucky. Disasters came one after another, and they were all terrible marriages.

The first two times, she was tricked and sold to be a wife, and this time she was forced to be a wife again. Why was the terrible destiny tangling her? She was a fragile woman who did nothing against the world. Why was her destiny so miserable?

This night, Shen Xiaoyan was terrified and desperate. She was unable to fall asleep, and was crying sadly all the time.

Later, she had no tears to cry, and her swollen eyes could not be opened. When she fell asleep, it was almost dawn.

Xiaoyan slumbered for a long time. When she woke up, it had been more than half a day, and the sun was looking at the earth from the west of the sky.

In Li Mansion, people had been busy for the evening wedding. The decoration inside and outside the house was almost done. Lights were everywhere, showing a joy of no patience.

The servants brought hearty meals for Shen Xiaoyan to eat.

Xiaoyan was so sad that she couldn’t eat and couldn’t stop crying.

It seemed that a terrible wedding must be done, and it was no longer possible for her to decide.

What would happen to her in the future was difficult to tell. Xiaoyan’s stubborn personality was likely to bring her physical pain, and she would become a plaything of Li Wanfu and eventually die sadly, as Mammy Huang said.

Outside, the red lights hung high and the colored silk fluttered. The house was filled with great joy.

In the room, the atmosphere was very different. What filled here were fear, sadness, and helpless crying…

Suddenly, two people came to the room. One of them was tall and slightly fat. He was about fifty years old and well-dressed.

Seeing him coming, the maidservants hurriedly greeted him, rushed to the side and stood with discipline.

Shen Xiaoyan immediately became nervous. She looked at them in doubt, the fear in her heart made her body tremble. She didn’t know what bad things would happen.

…

Suddenly, Zhang Yunyan stopped and looked back, finding something.

Shen Xiaoyan paused for a moment and stop telling her own experience. She looked at her benefactor and frowned, worrying that another danger would come.

At night, the surroundings were dark. Except for the nearby trees and bamboo forests, the distant places were blurred. In the dark, there were no sounds of frogs or insects. It was quiet everywhere with no movement.

Seeing Yunyan still looking back, Shen Xiaoyan asked uneasily, “Yunyan, what did you find? Is it… the danger again?”

Zhang Yunyan patted her and comforted her, “There is no danger, relax. Even if there is danger, you don’t have to be afraid with me by your side.”

Xiaoyan looked at Yunyan and looked around. She said timidly, “Let’s go. It’s always worrying and unsafe in this place.”

Zhang Yunyan didn’t move. Did she find something? Or was she thinking?

Shen Xiaoyan’s heart was already hanging up. If her sister didn’t leave, something must have happened again. What could they do?

Yunyan opened her eyes in anger and snorted. It seemed that she had made up her mind, and she was to do something unknown.

She said to Xiaoyan, “I can’t just leave like this. I have to go and see in that house.”

Xiaoyan was puzzled and said, “It’s not Yan Mansion there. What else do you want to see? Come on, I’m scared.”

Yunyan sighed, “Although it is not Yan Mansion, it has something to do with the Yan family. I must figure it out, and I will never let the descendants of Yan Xiaopeng live in the world.”

It turned out that Zhang Yunyan sometimes walked away while Xiaoyan told about her unfortunate encounter, and the house sometimes came to her mind and made she ponder again.

She always felt that it was not as simple as she thought about it. There must be something big, and she couldn’t leave it there and walk away.

While being suspicious, Yunyan heard that if Li Wanfu could not force her into marriage, he would treat Xiaoyan as a plaything. She could not help but was alerted. She felt that Yan Xiaopeng was also lustful, and he would not let go of a good-looking woman. Countless women would have been bullied by him in his life.

Perhaps, he arranged those beautiful women that he didn’t marry in that house, and came to have fun at any time. The children they gave birth to were also with the women.

In this way, although these children were not the trueborn children of the Yan family, they were also the children of Living Yama, and there were a lot.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yunyan felt that such suspicion was very possible. Otherwise, those children would not be allowed to live in the house of Yan family.

Suddenly, she was so angry that she decided to go back and check it out. If they were the children of Yan Xiaopeng, they must be killed.

Yunyan no longer cared how Shen Xiaoyan stopped her. She turned around and walked away, and went through the bamboo forest to the outside of the yard.

She glared at the ghostly courtyard and her anger with revenge was burning.

Yan Xiaopeng’s vicious words sounded again in her mind, “… Girl, what you end up with today is determined by your destiny, and it should be your family’s fate. This is God’s will, which is irresistible. Your mother was born to be a plaything of mine, and your dad deserves to die in my hands. Now, you will die in my Yan Mansion too, all of which is the arrangement of God. Your whole family can’t live, you must die. It’s the God that made me to exterminate your family. This is the fate you deserve. You have to confess it, and God’s will can’t be defied…”

The words “exterminate your family” were like sharp daggers that stabbed Yunyan’s heart and made her bleeding. Hatred filled her heart, and the anger was burning. Her body was hot, and her face was tight and a little stiff. The goddess’ anger and fury appeared again.

Facing the descendants of Yan Xiaopeng, she hated and said unmercifully, “Living Yama, you commit innumerable crimes and hurt countless people. All of your families are vicious! Your whole family can’t be alive, you must die, and I will exterminate your family! This is the retribution that your family deserves. It is the inevitable end of you hurting people! This is God’s will, and it can’t be violated!”

Fire was burning in Zhang Yunyan’s eyes, and her body and mind were tense. She looked like a goddess who showed disdain for everything. Violent feelings were raging in her heart and she wished to destroy this ghostly courtyard in an instant.

Holding the steel knife, she stood up and left. Suddenly she heard footsteps behind her, she hurriedly looked back raising the knife, and then shook her head.

It turned out that Shen Xiaoyan came to her.

Zhang Yunyan sighed secretly. She only focused on revenge and forgot the sister. She calmed down and told Xiaoyan to wait here, and then she turned away.

“Revenge! Revenge! Revenge…” At this moment, these words stirred her body and mind. The heroine was burning all over. She would never let anyone in the enemy’s family live in the world, and couldn’t let Yan family continue to murder and hurt people.

“Kill! Kill! Kill…”

In the heroine’s body, anger was everywhere. She was determined to destroy the Yan family without missing anyone of them.

The vows of more than a decade were encouraging her, and Living Yama’s vicious words were enraging her, “Exterminate the Yan family! Exterminate the Yan family…” She would never show mercy.

This was the only vow at this moment, which was inevitable for her sense of mission. The angry heroine had nothing to fear. Her angry eyes were staring at the place of hatred, and she was anxious to destroy this evil house.

The goddess no longer cared about other things. She held the steel knife tightly and rushed over, going straight to the enemy’s home.
