The Devil who devoured Snow White

Wei Sianqi entered the Xia family mansion. It was huge that she couldn't help but feel like she was going to live in a castle. It was very Victorian-era-inspired. There were a few servants present in the place and she was greeted when they saw her.

Xia Liqin called one of his maids, ordering her to push Wei Sianqi's wheelchair. "She will bring you to your room. If you need anything, just ask her. She will be your personal maid. She is in charge of taking care of your needs."

The girl pouted as she watched the boy take his leave. He was so stingy, the opposite of his sister! But that only made Wei Sianqi even more determined to make him fall for her! She was not going to give when she was not even starting yet. Xia Liqin, just you wait!

Wei Sianqi stood up from the wheelchair which surprised the maid that the Xia boy assigned. 

"M-Miss?" 

"Oh, please discard my wheelchair. I was too lazy to walk earlier." She smiled innocently at her. "Teehee~"

…

Lu Mengjie was checking her phone from time to time. She was not expecting any messages but she was rather hesitant about contacting someone.

Ever since she found out what Si Guanlin could possibly be scheming, her mind never rested as she worried for Si Hongqi's sake.

A knock interrupted her from her deep thoughts.

"Come in."

The door was pushed open and there she saw a familiar middle-aged man. His dark long hair was tied into a low ponytail with a few loose strands on the side of his face. He had a stern look on his face and he was wearing his graded glasses. His face lined but was still attractive. He was wearing fitting black jeans and a sweater with a cashmere coat on top. The look was casual and elegant. He always had a sharp and intelligent first impression with him. He was one of her father's most trusted men, Yun Che, also known as Pride.

Lu Mengjie stood up from her seat and her face went bright when she saw him. "Master!"

Pride took a large stride as he entered the room and approached her. "It's been a while, Mengjie."

She walked round her desk before she met him in between and hugged him. "It feels like forever, I missed you!"

The stern look on the man's eyes softened. He gently patted her head and a small smile crept upon his lips. "I decided to check on you."

She pulled away and chuckled as she replied, "Right. As much as I want to believe that, you never just come and visit me with no reason." She crossed her arms and huffed. "So why are you here?"

"Qiang Wei told me everything."

"Ah…" Her shoulders fell. "Come, have a seat," she offered as she went to the sofa and sat there to which he followed.

"You had an accident that caused you to lose your memories but you look like you remember me."

She smiled a bit. "I just recently gained all of my memories back." Including the memories of her childhood that were supposed to be hazy now that she was far from that age.

"That's good. Do you remember the people who captured you and how you escaped?" He inquired as he looked at her.

She nodded a bit. "I never escaped." She was reluctant to tell him everything that was why she decided to leave the details out and instead told him, "You're right. Si Guanlin shouldn't be trusted."

Pride was quiet for a moment after hearing what she said. He didn't look surprised at all, instead, he was already expecting it.

Lu Mengjie continued to tell him about her current situation. Han Yizhou may have offered his men to help her with her plans against Bai Keran but now that one of her subordinates came, she trusted them more with the work.

"Master, do you think we should trust Si Hongqi?" She asked as she looked at him. He was able to see Si Guanlin's betrayal so now, she wanted to know what his thoughts were towards the younger brother.

"You shouldn't take anyone's side. It will only endanger you if you do, Mengjie."

"But I will not just sit and watch, Master." She clasped her hands together. "If Si Guanlin takes over his family, a war will start in Azure. More lives will be lost but if Si Hongqi will be the one to rule his family, we will be able to avoid the war between the Han and Si families."

Pride looked at her in surprise, not because of what she said but because of what she found out. There were only a few who knew of this situation and that was why the other families had begun taking sides. Even Han Qinshan was already prepared to eliminate Si Guanlin but because of the man's father, he couldn't make a move against him yet. "Who told you about this?"

"My husband," she replied honestly. "He is Han Qinshan's son."

"His… son?" Pride knew that Han Qinshan had two sons, Han Xukun and Han Yehan. He also knew that Lu Mengjie would never marry them so that only meant… She ended up marrying Han Qinshan's lost son, Han Yizhou.

"His name is Han Yizhou. He is Han Qinshan's firstborn son." She looked at the ring around her finger and smiled a bit. "I married him."

So she knew. In the end, one of the Lu princesses married one of Han Qinshan's sons. If that man learned of this, he would surely use any means to bring Han Yizhou back to the Azure Republic. "How did you meet him?" Also if he was to think of it, that man should be twice her age!

"It's a long story but since I am married to a Han family member, that makes me a part of their family now. Han Xukun is my friend and Si Hongqi as well. I will not allow Si Guanlin to destroy our friendship even if I have to… eliminate him with my own hands."
