Yinghao ignored his brother's cries and watched him getting dragged away with a stern look on his face while his arms were crossed over his chest.

Seeing the spoiled prince finally gone as the shrine hall turned silent, he halfway turned around. His sharp eyes slowly falling on the red clothing which was peeking out the pillar.

"Come out," He ordered, his voice deep and cold; still having the signs of his earlier anger.

Fei didn't want to show another man her face and she whispered inaudibly,"I-"

"Did you not hear what I said?" He sounded harsher than before. "Are you trying to defy my orders?"

He wanted to know what made his spoiled brother run away from the hall of decision. The last thing he expected the reason to be was a girl.

The brat still hasn't stopped playing with these vixens out there who are only after his wealth and are trying to be a part of their noble family.

Such outrageous behavior just for a mere filthy woman?! What is he even thinking?

At that thought, his anger worsened and his hands balled up into a fist. He will deal with that spoiled brother of his later.

For now, he's to make this vixen know her place as she'll be sent to their dungeon and rot there being a plaything for his workers to have fun with.

Fei was too clueless to know that she was in the presence of a royal member of the Sheng family; the eldest son and the current leading in line patriarchy who held enough power to match with the three powerful families of nobles.

"Come out this instant before I drag you out myself," He threatened and his aura laced with wrath, turning the place feel stuffy and cold like it was a shallow pit.

Fei trembled and her eyes teared up. She never wanted to be seen by any men and this situation had left her on a sensitive hold.

Gulping after pulling some courage, she voiced out her inner dilemma innocently,"I-I..but my husband will gouge your eyes."

What?

"What did you say, woman?" The man's eyes sharply glared at her hidden self and he mocked,"So, you really think you can be a part of our family, huh?

Husband? How dare she even think of such a possibility? And gouge his eyes?

Now, he really needs to teach her a lesson and put her in her place which was beneath his shoe's dirt.

"Part of the f-family?" Fei mumbled to herself in confusion. "I don't.. understand-Ahn!"

Interrupted, she was harshly pulled away from the pillar. Her steps stumbling with difficulty and then she ended up on the floor, just near his feet.

Although shocked by the sudden manhandling, she still tried to hide her face by bowing her head lower and lower until she could see her own knees, kneeling on the floor with her blurry eyes as she muffled the sound of her sobs.

The adored girl has never been treated with such harshness before and always has been pampered since her very birth.

Even Yang controls his own sadism for his fragile wife no matter how much he wanted to keep her locked in the bedroom and do all those bad things to her until the only word she could say was his name. But he held back because he loved her and love overpower lust in every sense.

Her tears fell on the floor drop by drop. Right now, Fei wasn't thinking about her own well-being but the people she could bring harm to by showing them her face.

"P-Please spare me.. I've done no wrong, sir." She tried to stop the quiver of her soft voice and the tremble of her knees.

She kind of had an idea that the man before her had seemed to misunderstood her and she was about to clarify her innocence when her chin was suddenly kicked by his boot and a heart-wrenching cry left her mouth as she fell on the with her arms hitting the tiles painfully.

"Ahnn!"

Her delicate bone suffered and blue bruises slowly started to form on her pale skin.

She was too shocked and now, even too afraid to move as she whimpered. It hurts. Please don't hurt her. Her eyes turned red and she wanted her husband to comfort her.

"Done no wrong? You still have the nerve to say that?" A devious chuckle left his mouth as he gazed at the back of the woman.

Maybe, she was indeed made to seduce; her body was well-portioned and he could still make out her feminine curves under the red dress that she was wearing.

However, now he was getting abnormally curious to know what she looked like. The sound of her wronged voice and her vulnerable, easy to hurt body was urging him to see this evil thing and expose her to his keen eyes.

The man knew that he didn't use a great force but she had ended up on the floor on her fours like a doll.

Her pitiful cry sounded and he heard her plead again,"Pl-Please.. spare me."

"Turn around." He ordered but she flinched and didn't budge as if she didn't want to face him even if it cost her own life.

"Didn't you hear me?!" He snapped loud enough for the shrine to echo his chilling voice.

Fei whimpered and had the sudden thought to run away, so without any further thinking, she fisted her hands and was about to make a run in her wobbly legs.

Alas, her plan was seen through the moment she took a step and her hair were pulled back into a harsh scalp numbing grip.

"Ahn!" Fei cried out in pain and was forced to meet those dark orbs which looked deadly and so cold that she quickly closed her eyes in fear, not wanting to be seen by him.

But only if she knew.. that when the moment she closed her beautiful eyes.. how the man's eyes dilated when his gaze fell on her mesmerizing face.

Yinghao froze on the spot while his eyes ran over the beauty on his manhandling hold.

This..

...

Now I've successfully revealed the second male lead and the antagonist.
