Chapter 709 Are you cheap?
"Don't be impatient, just listen to me first."
Liu Nanshi drank her tea nonchalantly. "As long as you can deliver the letter and then go to the emperor to expose the Duke of Zhenguo's rebellion, the Gu family will be executed, and Gu Qianhan will die too. Then, Shen Wantang will be yours!"
Xiao Qingyuan finally reacted, his face changed drastically: "Are you trying to frame the Duke of Zhenguo for treason?! You're crazy!"
"Keep your voice down! Do you want everyone outside to hear? This isn't framing someone. This is helping the Emperor. He'll surely be very happy to have such a major threat removed. Once he's happy, it'll be easy for you, a great contributor, to take advantage of the opportunity and ask him to bring Shen Wantang over."
Xiao Qingyuan looked at her in disbelief. "How could you make such a big deal about harming an entire family so lightly?! Liu Nanshi, I originally thought you were just selfish and pretentious, but I didn't expect you to be so completely devoid of humanity. You have a vicious heart and are extremely vicious!"
Liu Nanshi's face darkened. "Xiao Qingyuan, I'm helping you. Not only don't you thank me, you're even scolding me? How can you be so confused about right and wrong?!"
"It's because I can tell right from wrong that I'm scolding you! I don't need your help at all, and I certainly don't need to use such cruel means to get Shen Wantang! You'll suffer retribution for doing this!"
"Don't you need my help? If I don't help you, you'll never be able to snatch Shen Wantang from Gu Qianhan in your life. You can only watch them being so sweet and loving."
Liu Nanshi's face was filled with cold sarcasm. "Oh, by the way, I asked someone to find out. Shen Wantang and Gu Qianhan have already consummated their marriage. I heard that they make love every day. Shen Wantang might be pregnant with Gu Qianhan's child."
Xiao Qingyuan rushed forward and grabbed Liu Nanshi's neck. "Shut up! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll strangle you to death! Gu Qianhan doesn't like Shen Wantang at all. He doesn't even like women. There's no way they can consummate their marriage!"
Liu Nanshi was nearly strangled to death, but she still looked at Xiao Qingyuan with a mocking look: "They... have consummated their marriage, and they've been stuck together day and night. They must be having a child soon. Otherwise... how could Meng Yunlan, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family who can't lay eggs... go crazy and invite a doctor home to treat her infertility!"
Xiao Qingyuan roared: "I told you to shut up! Shut up! Shut up!"
He exerted great force on his hands and pinched Liu Nanshi hard.
But Liu Nanshi did not resist at all, and there was not even a trace of fear in her eyes, as if she was sure that he would not dare to kill her like this.
Sure enough, after a while, Xiao Qingyuan let go of his hand.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Liu Nanshi leaned back on the pillow, breathing heavily. Then, as if she had remembered some great joke, she burst into laughter: "Hahahahahaha!"
Xiao Qingyuan's eyebrows were almost twisted together: "Liu Nanshi, are you sick? What are you laughing at?"
"Hahaha, of course I'm laughing at you, Xiao Qingyuan! When you heard that Shen Wantang and Gu Qianhan had consummated their marriage, you got anxious, didn't you? Your defenses were broken, didn't you? Did you regret it?"
"Why am I in such a hurry? What do I have to regret?"
"Oh, you're still being stubborn! In your past life, you were deceived by Chu Yanluo and seduced by that bitch Huayi. Later, you fell in love with me and were completely obsessed with me. You slept with all of us, without any scruples! But you didn't even touch your wife! Hahaha, she's married to Gu Qianhan now, and they consummated the marriage on their wedding night. Don't you regret it so much? You deserve it!"
Xiao Qingyuan said gloomily, "It seems that you know you're not a good person. You've fallen to the same level as Chu Yanluo Huayi. It's true that I didn't touch Shen Wantang in my previous life, but so what? This just proves that she's a good person. She wouldn't bother using your despicable and shameless means to get me! And you're just my playthings!"
Liu Nanshi was still laughing. She leaned back on the pillow, tears streaming down her face as she laughed, "Don't be so stubborn, Xiao Qingyuan. Don't I know how much you loved me in your past life?"
"I just used a little trick, and you're willing to die for me, aren't you? You even plotted to kill Shen Wantang just to marry me!"
"If it weren't for your damn sister Xiao Qingxi pushing me into the river, Shen Wantang would have been the one who died that day!"
"Now, Shen Wantang has married Gu Qianhan, and you think Shen Wantang is good again? You want to snatch her away again? Are you a cheapskate?"
With every word she spoke, Xiao Qingyuan's face became uglier. By the end, Xiao Qingyuan's face had turned ashen.
He gritted his teeth and said, "If you hadn't tricked me, how could I have thought of killing Shen Wantang? It's because I was deceived by you in my last life, and I felt sorry for her, so I want to make up for it in this life! I'm not like you, vicious and cruel, with a beastly heart. You clearly like Gu Qianhan, but you still want to kill his entire family!"
The smile on Liu Nanshi's face finally faded. The gentle mask she had pretended to be in front of others was completely torn apart at this moment, revealing her ferocious side. "What I can't have, no one else can have! Since Gu Qianhan won't marry me, then he can die! Why is it that my future is ruined, my reputation is in disgrace, and I am despised by everyone, while he can marry a beautiful woman and live a carefree and sweet life!"
Xiao Qingyuan was stunned for a moment, then finally realized, "So you hated him for not marrying you, so you wanted to frame the Gu family? Then couldn't you just target Gu Qianhan alone? If you frame the Gu family for treason, wouldn't you be harming other innocent people?"
Liu Nanshi's voice was sinister: "Innocent? There are no innocent people in the Gu family! They all deserve to die!"
Xiao Qingyuan couldn't understand: "Why?!"
"Because after they knew Gu Qianhan liked Shen Wantang, they all turned their backs on me! After they knew I was sold to Wanhua Tower, they all started to dislike me!"
Xiao Qingyuan found it even more difficult to understand: "Isn't this human nature? Even if they did go too far, they shouldn't be punished with death, right? Isn't your hatred too great?"
Liu Nanshi snorted coldly, "What do you know?! I'm already at the lowest point in my life, having a very difficult time. Not only do they not help me, but they actually add insult to injury! Madam Gu doesn't want to be close to me anymore, and she doesn't want me to visit the Duke's Mansion anymore. She deserves to die!"
Xiao Qingyuan's eyes widened. "How can this be considered kicking someone when they're down? Do you even know how to use words?"
"Gu Qianning has also started to distance herself from me. She started speaking in Shen Wantang's favor and treating her as her best friend. What about me? I've been trying to please her and protect her for so many years, but what am I?"
Xiao Qingyuan: "This shows that Gu Qianning is a smart person. She knows that you are not a good person and that Shen Wantang is the good person. It seems that my judgment was not wrong this time!"
