Married To The Cruel Crown Prince Chapter 47 - I Do Not Need Your Pity

Chapter 47 - I Do Not Need Your Pity

Ying Lili after having a conversation with Han Nianzu came to Zhenzhu Inn. Court Lady Xu was anxious after seeing the darkened face of Ying Lili. "Your highness, may I ask what is going on with you?" Court Lady Xu asked humbly.

"Nothing," replied Ying Lili. The crown princess was so lost in her inner thoughts that she did not see that Sheng Li was coming from the front with Lei Wanxi. Court Lady Xu and the maidservants had halted at their places with their bowed heads.

Lei Wanxi smiled seeing the crown princess, but then he noticed that the crown princess was lost somewhere. Ying Lili's head hit against something hard and she came out of her thoughts, pa.s.sing through a low scream.

The crown princess lifted her head and saw Sheng Li in front of her. Sheng Li peered into the eyes of Ying Lili. Ying Lili lifted her right hand and brought that near Sheng Li's cheek. Lei Wanxi lowered his eyes, seeing that, and smiled sheepishly. Sheng Li was confused seeing Ying Lili's gestures when he felt Ying Lili's hand on his right cheek.

Sheng Li knitted his brows as Ying Lili moved her hand over his cheek. "What are you doing?" Sheng Li with a stern expression asked, but Ying Lili did not reply. Sheng Li lifted his hand to put down Ying Lili's hand from his cheek when he heard, "You have grown beautifully. Mother is proud of you." Sheng Li raised his brow while Lei Wanxi glanced at the crown princess.

"You suffered a lot and turned like this," Ying Lili further spoke. Sheng Li placed his hand over her hand and slid it down to her wrist. The next second, he grabbed Ying Lili's wrist and took her away from there. Lei Wanxi lifted his head. So did the court lady Xu. The maidservants had lowered their eyes.

"From where the crown princess was coming?" Lei Wanxi asked from the court lady.

"Her highness conversed with the fourth Prince a few moments ago," replied Court Lady Xu softly. Lei Wanxi shook his head and turned to look.

Sheng Li brought Ying Lili to his chamfer and ordered Xing-Fu not to let anyone come in. Ying Lili was standing near the table which had some scrolls over it. Sheng Li came towards her. Ying Lili had lowered her eyes when Sheng Li grabbed her chin and made her look into his eyes. "What were you saying there?" Sheng Li questioned her. Ying Lili clutched her high waist skirt tightly.

"Answer," Sheng Li demanded an answer as he pulled her chin up.

"N-nothing," Ying Lili replied, and averted her gaze from him. Sheng Li snickered upon hearing the reply of Ying Lili. "Lili, didn't I warn you not to look into my personal life?" Sheng Li queried Ying Lili and released his grip from her chin. Ying Lili stepped back and was. .h.i.t against the table.

The anger inside Sheng Li was growing up. "Did she read everything from that diary? How could I be careless?" Sheng Li thought inside his mind, and then the next second, he threw the porcelain vase that was placed on the table beside the scrolls. Ying Lili was shocked for a while and lifted her head to meet Sheng Li's gaze.

"I have a right to look into your personal life the same way you claim your right over me," Ying Lili p.r.o.nounced.

"So, you know something and still refusing to tell when I asked you? Tell me now why did you say that?" Sheng Li, in a fit of rage, asked.

"Sheng Li, you know everything about my family but I do not know anything because you never told me neither I asked. You told me to act like a delightful couple in front of everyone to save your reputation, but how can I do that when I do not know things about you?" Ying Lili stated and demanded an answer from Sheng Li.

"But, you do not need to know about my mother. I never permitted you to do that. Lili, defying my orders is good till a limit, but today you went extreme. Pitying me with those eyes. I do not need your pity," Sheng Li bellowed at her. Ying Lili blinked her eyes as tears formed in them when Sheng Li grabbed her by holding her in both arms.

"How dare you show pity on me with these eyes of yours? You have no right on me. Keep that in mind. I am warning you this last time- if you tried looking at my personal matters then, you have to suffer badly." Ying Lili was feeling pain because of Sheng Li's tight grip on her.

"Who is pitying you? You took the emotions in my eyes wrongly. This is not pity, but…" Ying Lili stopped as a teardrop rolled down her cheek. "Leave me. I understood that I shall not worry for you," Ying Lili spoke with a dejected expression.

Sheng Li pushed away Ying Lili when her left foot hit against the broken pieces of the porcelain jar on the floor. "Ahh," Ying Lili cried out in a low voice. Sheng Li turned to look at her and saw Ying Lili's foot was pierced by tiny broken pieces of the jar. He grabbed her hand when Ying Lili slapped it off.

"Do not touch me. You have no right on me," Ying Lili angrily stated and stepped forward, but Sheng Li held her wrist. Ying Lili turned and glared into the eyes of Sheng Li. She twisted her hand in his grip, thinking Sheng Li would let it go when Sheng Li in one swift movement carried her up in his arms. "Others will think that I took my anger on my wife," saying this Sheng Li took Ying Lili to the bed and placed her on the mattress gently.

"Xing-Fu," the crown prince called out the name of the Eunuch who after a minute came there. "Bring the Royal physician here," ordered Sheng Li while his gaze was fixed on Ying Lili.

Ying Lili found Sheng Li's anger was subsided by but she quickly averted her gaze from him. "You confuse me," Sheng Li heard Ying Lili saying.
