Truth and Dare (fanfiction)

6. Threating incident

"It is your wickedness that has saved you from these many days otherwise I could have thrown the heck out of you from my Mansion."

Shiqing was thinking about ways to get rid of these constant tricks played by his stepmother. He was highly disgusted by the way Xiao Wanza was coming into this rivalry. While sitting in his study, at his table, he wrote a letter to his Uncle Lin Sha. He called Siheng and hand it over to him.

The next day, while Xiaowanza was dressing on her table, a maid suddenly came when Shiqing was still on his bed. Xiaowanza waved her to come directly to her as to not disturb Shiqing's sleep. hardly, she knows the moment she lefts the bed, Shiqing could not sleep more.

Shiqing heard that the maid was calling Xiaowanza to visit a Temple with her mother-in-law. When Xiaowanza was all set to go, Shiqing sat in front of their room's main outing and refused Xiaowanza to go out.

Xiaowanza hardly gets a chance to go out of the Mansion after her pregnancy 's news is out so she wanted to go out anyway but Shiqing was worried about her safety as she was called by his stepmother. He finally declined her proposal and did not let Xiaowanza out with her.

Till now, Shiqing's fake blindness was not revealed to anyone so Xiaowanza threatens him that she will let this out but she herself got turn down as Shiqing made her remember that her fake princess secret was still with him.

When Xiaowanza asked, "What you want to let me go out?"

Shiqing took a glance of her from top to bottom and gave a mischievous smirk.

"You is all I want."

He said within his mind. He said, " If you could complete the lessons that I gave you before afternoon then I promise that I will myself take you out with me."

"Really?" Xiaowanza asked with sparkled eyes.

"First, get all things done." Shiqing said sternly.

Xiaowanza rushed to study. Shiqing thinks how naive is she that always obeys all my orders. He was interrupted by Siheng who informed him that the letter got delivered to right place.

He went to his secret chamber whose door opens under his bed and goes to meet Rou who updates him on new discovery about secret salt sellers. Later, Jin comes to him.

"My lord, work is done." She informs him.

"That means, we have to just wait for tomorrow. Right?" Shiqing asks to her.

"Yes, My lord."

Next morning, a nicely decorated box is sent to room of Shiqing's stepmother. Ater her prayer, she orders one of her maid to open the box.

After, the box opens, she could not stop the flow of the tears coming from her eyes. It was a bloody piece of hand detached directly from wrist. The letter says that the hand belong to his own son Shiyaun.

His stepmother could not take it and directly fainted just after few time. His son went out for few days for hunting, if she could know that is going to happen with his son, she would never let him go.

After getting medication, Shiqing came with Xiaowanza to visit her.

She looked in pale condition. She could barely talk. Xiaowanza sympathies on looking at her condition, although Shiqing 's face had no changed expressions. He said,

" May god rest my brother soul in peace!"

Xiaowanza holds his arms and indicates him to stop. He continues,

"You have no idea dear, these bandits are very dangerous in order to take revenge they have thrown powder of my face to make me blind then who wonders what will happen to Shiyaun, haan?"

His stepmother started to cough on listening to such words. Her maid gave her water instantly to give some relief. Xiaowanza sat near her and said,

"Mother, please, don't lose hope. You need to be strong!"

Saying so she left with him after some time. She was sad looking at her condition but someone was really happy. She says,

"Who can dare to harm Mei's son in such a way?"

Shiqing laughs and says in low voice, " Who can be the one other than me?"

Xiaowanza says, "What makes you laugh and then murmur?"

"Nothing, don't you want to sleep. I feel my baby needs some rest." He says mischievously.

"Ooh... it's that so..." She slightly hits him on his right arm.

"Xia San Tu when you will come to this world, mark my words, be prepared for your mother's temper." He slightly touches her stomach while saying this advice.

Xiaowanza rushes instantly as she could not take more. She likes the way Shiqing is attached to the baby and gets surprised the way he calls the baby,

"Xia San tu"

Deep inside her heart, she feels bad that she would not be able to give mother's love to her own child. She left the place because these all happiness only belong to real princess Yingao and not to her.

She sighed in dismay and went directly to bed. She got slept before Shiqing could come. She did not added any pillows as he was not there and she was hell tired.

When Shiqing came, he could not stop himself to not get close to her. He first covered her with quilt and then turned to her side by covering her with one of her arm.

While having glance of her, he thinks that she is so sympathetic and kind towards her mother in law too who had done so much wrong to her, indeed she is gem of heart.

While looking at her face, he thinks that what may the situation come, he will never let her go because he has understood completely that,

Xiaowanza is his everything.
