Chapter Thirteen: Women Are Appendages

  "Who says I'm romantic?" Li Xiuzhen slightly furrowed her brow, looking perplexed.

  Han Caiwei was taken aback, it seemed like he wasn't talking about romance? Her wrist still hurt, avoiding his oppressive gaze, she said in a low voice: "Let me go first."

  Li Xiuzhen slightly raised an eyebrow: "You call him Shen Gongzi, it seems you really don't remember anything, but this king still has doubts, are you trying to lure him in on purpose?"

  The man's self-absorption and distortion of facts made Han Caiwei unable to bear it, she used her only active right hand to find the pocket at her waist, pulled out a surgical knife she had just made, and pressed it against his neck: "Third Prince, I said let me go, otherwise I will cut your carotid artery and make you bleed to death!"

  She spoke calmly, with a sharp tongue, but what couldn't be ignored was that her hand was slightly trembling. Of course, this subtle movement didn't escape Li Xiuzhen's eyes. He smiled slightly, grabbed Han Caiwei's right hand, pulled out the scalpel from her hand, examined it carefully, and said with a raised eyebrow: "This dagger is quite exquisite, I suppose that's how you turned that old mouse into that ghostly figure!"

  The sharp object was taken away by Li Xiuzhen with ease, and Han Caiwei's arrogance immediately dissipated by half. She frowned and said: "Did you see that old mouse skeleton? Hmph, who let that woman hit me, bully me, she should be taught a lesson!"

  Li Xiuyan raised an eyebrow and curled his lips: "This king believes you. However, you've also made a big fuss over nothing. Although Yulan treated you that way, it's mostly because of your own temperament. Now that you don't remember anything, this temperament is actually better than before. As for the temple matter, this king won't pursue it further. As for your amnesia, let's not mention it again in the future."

  "You don't blame me?" Li Xiuzhen's thoughts were truly unpredictable, with a temperament that was as changeable as the weather. Although his lips curled up, the smile in his eyes was scarce.

  Li Xiuzhen slightly furrowed her brow: "You are all the king's women, as long as you know how to serve, you are all the same. As long as you don't make too much trouble, it's fine. In the future when we return to the mansion, I will instruct Bao'er and Yulan to treat you well, and the queen will also give you some advice."

  Han Caiwei was stunned for a long time after hearing this, and her heart felt cool afterwards. A hint of profundity flashed in the depths of her eyes: "So that's what the prince thinks."

  How could she have forgotten? In ancient times, women were nothing more than accessories to men, especially noble and esteemed men. For them, women only needed to know how to serve, let alone worry about any one woman.

  Her expression was too cold, and her emotions changed too quickly. Li Xiuzhen couldn't understand her for a moment, nor did he know what she meant by her words. He slightly furrowed his brow, let go of her hand, stood up beside the bed: "If you're not ready, I won't force you, you can leave."

  Han Caiwei took a deep breath to suppress the evil fire in her heart, and then stood up, staring straight at Li Xiuzhi: "I didn't come here to serve you, nor was it for your favor. I just wanted to say that after that night, I became pregnant and gave birth to a son for you. He's six years old now, and his name is Xu'er."

  Li Xiuzhen was surprisingly unflappable, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes: "Why are you telling me now?"

  Han Caiwei sneered: "You're so clever and self-righteous, can't you figure it out? I didn't tell you before because you wouldn't understand why. But now that I've told you, it's not to curry favor or seek a position from you. Honestly, I don't care about titles or status. Whether I'm your concubine or princess, it's all the same to me. The reason I'm telling you this is because Xu'er needs a father, he yearns for you, and his longing for you is something I no longer want to destroy. That's why I've come to tell you."
