The Prince Is Abolished

Chapter 13

'My prince, please get up! Don't do yourself so much injustice!'

'Wu...she just left...just like that...what have I done to earn her ridicule and hate?'

'Nothing. Women are all the same. I know someone just like her and she did the same to me as well. We men are just toys for them, your highness. Please get up.' Wu was keeping Xi Mang in the loop of helplessness to get his aid in capturing Kang Zhing today.

Xi Mang stopped his tears. In his mind, he was the definition of perfection, innocence, beauty, and love, and Lu Ran? Lu Ran had become a siren, a seductress, and an abuser who preyed on men like him. Xi Mang sat down on the ground and stayed rooted there for long.

I hope he gets up soon. It is afternoon and Kang Zhing should be arriving at the hot spring. Come on Xi Mang ask me who that woman is! Come on! COME ON!

Song Wu was feeling as if the opportunity he designed was slipping away because Xi Mang was still not in his senses.

'I will go back to the palace now. My heart is broken. I am sorry. We will go out sometime later.'

'Fine your highness. But let me tell you, if you continue being kind-hearted to merciless women, then they will keep treating honorable and loving men like you with contempt. Madam Lu Ran is just one of these women, I know one more and she is also the same.' Wu said slyly.

Xi Mang was in an impotent rage. Lu Ran's disrespect made him feel as if he was of no importance in her eyes. All his love and passion were of no value to her. And there is another one like her!

Where do women get this sort of audacity? How can they turn down high-value men and bring them to their knees? Is there no respect for men who shower women with so much love? What was his fault? Just that he paid a surprise visit and lost control after coming to know that Ran was going behind his back with that shrewd Xi Jiang? What was the need to bring him so much hate? A bit of force and she cried hoarse!

His mind was trapped in two words, disrespect and love, and he failed to grasp that it was his controlling streak and violence that made her turn her back on him so definitely.

Song Wu took charge of Xi Mang during his absent-mindedness and took him with his guard to the abandoned mansion near the spring.

Wu had slyly placed aphrodisiac-laced tea for himself because he wanted Kang Zhing at any cost today and wanted her then and there.

He had planned that once defiled, Xi Mang would help him force Kang Zhing to submit to Wu because obviously he would like to help tame a shrew like Lu Ran and derive satisfaction from it.

Plus, Song Wu was his foremost financial supporter so this bit Mang could do for him. Helplessness will force Kang Zhing to act like he wanted and as much as he wanted. With Xi Mang lost in his own thoughts, he thought that the prince's reins were firmly in his hands and he felt cheerful at this.

'Why are we here? Song Wu, I hate this ugly palace. Let's go back. I must rest.'

Xi Mang's sudden awakening a while later derailed Song Wu's plans and he said:

'Of course we will return. I just wanted you to see the woman who is just like Lu Ran in her temper. She comes here at this time.'

'Let her be. These women are all fools and will die an old maid. I am not interested in seeing her. I will see you another time. Good bye.'

Xi Mang turned to go back and just then Kang Zhing appeared from behind the rock and got shocked at the sight of 3 men at the hot spring.

'Men are banned here! How can you trespass?'
