An Eight-year-old Princess

Nevertheless, the two servants knelt down, devastated. "We are done. We are so done..."

Wen Ruyu frowned unpleasantly. Done? Were they cursing her? Wen Ruyu was irritated, and she gave them a hard kick. Unexpectedly, they didn't back away at all. She was even angrier, "Useless." She walked into the room.

There was a foul smell permeating the air, mixed with other weird scents that were beyond description. Wen Ruyu frowned looking over at the haystack.

The scene left Wen Ruyu petrified, and the color drained from her face as she stood staring at three naked forms on the haystack. The woman was laying between the two men, her face looked painful, and was covered in blood. Her head was hanging on the ground. It took Wen Ruyu a long time to come to her senses and stop gawking. "No, no...This is impossible. This isn't possible!" She muttered to herself. Then she ran to the haystack, paying no attention to the naked men or the unmentionable marks on their body. Wen Ruyu touched the woman's face, and she went even paler. What was going on? How?

One of the servants outside the door ran from the yard screaming, in a blind panic, "Lady Ruxin, It's Lady Ruxin, Lady Ruxin was dead... It was Lady Ruxin..."

Wen Ruyu tried to stop him but couldn't. He had ran out of the yard.

Wen Ruyu was trembling. How did this happen? It should be Yun Shang, not her sister laying there now... She was doomed. Wen Clan was doomed.

The servant must've made a scene, with long strides, Wen Yunqing, grim-faced, was headed through side yard. A few concubines were following him, and behind the crowd was Wen Yunqiunq's mother, Lady Wen.

Wen Ruyu was petrified. 'No, I can't let them see this.' She decided and closed the door promptly locking it.
