Chapter 332 Women, Let's Tear Each Other Apart

Chang'an.

At the entrance of Cuiyun Residence.

When Li Ke returned to the palace, Chen Shuozhen saw him off at the door.

Just as Li Ke's figure disappeared from sight and Chen Shuo was about to turn back to Cuiyun Residence, his gaze involuntarily fell on Wenyun Pavilion.

Wu Qiqi, carrying a small cloth bag, strolled out leisurely, escorted by the shopkeeper.

The moment their eyes met.

Wu Qiqi still chose to step forward.

"Sister, let's send this off to the King of Shu."

Wu Qiqi greeted him with a smile.

"Um."

Chen Shuozhen's face also lit up with a smile: "Don't you have to accompany the Emperor Emeritus these past few days? You've been running to Wenyun Pavilion every day?"

"Sister, you're overthinking it."

Wu Qiqi teased, "You haven't even entered the door yet, and you're already worrying about the Emperor Emeritus?"

A hint of displeasure flashed across Chen Shuozhen's brows.

It quickly relaxed again.

Wu Qiqi speaks so succinctly, she doesn't seem like a ten-year-old girl at all.

"Your sister is worried about you."

Chen Shuozhen covered her mouth and laughed, "You're already engaged, yet you're always running around in public. Aren't you afraid people will gossip about the Zheng State Duke's Mansion?"

Wu Qiqi pouted.

That wretched woman is extremely vicious.

"Don't be afraid."

Wu Qiqi retorted sharply, "Uncle Wei and Aunt Wei treat me so well, they wish I could live at the Wei family's house."

"I really sympathize with some people... who have never even met their in-laws."

Chen Shuozhen's expression darkened slightly.

This is practically a direct insult directed at her by name.

Li Shimin and Consort Yang had never seen her, had they?

"My sister sees things more clearly."

Chen Shuozhen calmed herself down and continued, "But when it comes to finding a husband, you have to find someone talented and capable."

"If I marry a man who dies young, I'll have to live as a widow for the rest of my life."

Retreat, retreat, retreat...

Wu Qiqi gritted her teeth inwardly.

Chen Shuo is really unwilling to suffer any loss; he's difficult to deal with!

But who are we?

I am the wife of Old Wei.

I can suffer any loss, but I will never suffer a loss because of words!

"What my sister said makes sense."

Wu Qiqi looked enlightened: "But who can truly see through matters of lifespan?"

"I think you have to find a husband's family that loves and cherishes you first."

What if I find a heartless man?

"Once they're no longer of any use, they'll be kicked to the curb. Just thinking about that kind of ending is terrifying..."

Chen Shuozhen trembled.

Wu Qiqi revealed the fear hidden deep in her heart.

This is something she dares not face.

Ultimately, she had no connections.

In Chang'an, a city teeming with nobles, she could be replaced by Li Ke at any moment.

"yes……"

Chen Shuozhen nodded with a forced smile: "It would be really tragic if it turned out like that."

"But at least we had it once, didn't we?"

"If a woman can't get the man she likes, it can only mean that she hasn't tried hard enough."

Wu Qiqi was slightly moved.

Unexpectedly, Chen Shuozhen is quite the romantic.

However, Chen Shuozhen's next words angered her...

"Oh, right..."

Chen Shuozhen looked at Wu Qiqi: "Did Wei Shuyu ever sleep with you?"

What are you saying?

"I'm still young."

Wu Qiqi's face flushed red instantly, and she lowered her head, somewhat at a loss.

"Giggle."

Chen Shuozhen covered her mouth and laughed, "Has he ever hugged you or kissed you?"

"..."

Wu Qiqi wished she could sew the other person's mouth shut.

That's outrageous.

It's so painful.

snort.

It's all Wei Shuyu's fault; he made me lose face.

"Chen Shuozhen".

Wu Qiqi said with a serious expression, "What nonsense are you talking about? We're not married yet, how can we do that kind of thing?"

"If word gets out, it will be seen as immoral, undisciplined... it will be seen as promiscuous!"

"Tell me, which in-laws would like a woman like that?"

Swish.

Chen Shuozhen's expression changed slightly.

This touched on her sore spot again.

The news of her affair with Li Ke must have already reached Li Shimin's ears.

Will he like me?

"Don't be angry, little sister."

Chen Shuozhen laughed and said, "I was just joking with you."

"snort."

Wu Qiqi turned her head away.

With her cheeks puffed out, she was incredibly cute.

This round of fierce fighting resulted in both sides suffering heavy losses!

"Here, I have something good for you..."

Chen Shuozhen took out a pair of love knots: "These are love knots that my sister made herself. Do you like them?"

Huh?

Wu Qiqi's eyes lit up.

The red string is of excellent quality, has a wonderful feel, and emits a faint, pleasant fragrance.

It's obvious that they put a lot of effort into it.

"A gift for me?"

Wu Qiqi countered with a question.

"right."

Chen Shuozhen smiled and said, "I wish you and Wei Shuyu a lifetime of happiness together."

Wu Qiqi was suspicious.

Unsolicited kindness is either a sign of malice or theft.

Chen Shuo is truly the second person she can't see through.

Um.

The first one is Wei Shuyu.

"I have nothing to give in return."

Wu Qiqi couldn't help but touch her small cloth bag, which was full of food.

"Need not."

Chen Shuozhen smiled and said, "You gave me white sugar last time, this is my return gift."

I see...

Wei Shuyu once said that.

You can't take what belongs to your own people.

Why not take what's at the enemy's expense?

"Since that's the case..."

Wu Qiqi smiled and said, "I won't beat around the bush with you."

"If I bring you down this time, I'll spare your life."

Chen Shuozhen's expression immediately turned serious...

She never imagined that her plan would be seen through by a little girl.

This time, they failed to defeat Wei Shuyu.

The risk would be much greater if we took action next time.

"Did you use the power behind those brats at the Imperial Academy?" Chen Shuozhen asked solemnly.

If that's the case...

This round of competition among merchants has ended in complete failure.

Given Wei Zheng's influence in the court, he failed to discredit Wei Shuyu immediately.

The riot could be easily covered up.

You guessed it?

Wu Qiqi's face also became unusually serious: "You better not let me catch you doing anything wrong."

"Once they slip up..."

"Your dream of becoming the King of Shu, your dream of becoming a queen, everything you have now... will all vanish like smoke."

Chen Shuozhen remained silent.

Wu Qiqi can be defeated.

Because Wu Qiqi had Wu Shihuo, Li Shimin, and Wei Zheng behind her.

But what about myself?

There was nothing there...

Losing just once means certain death!

"Qiqi, you are very smart."

"He is the smartest child I have ever seen."

"but……"

"Do you think this is the only way I would dare to take action against Wei Shuyu?"

Chen Shuozhen appeared to be smiling, but a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

Why are you targeting Wei Shuyu?

Wu Qiqi said angrily, "He didn't provoke you, nor did he scold you. What you're doing is so unreasonable."

Chen Shuozhen sighed.

Everything was for Li Ke; she had no other choice.

"He's in the way."

After a long silence, Chen Shuozhen said in a cold voice, "You're blocking His Highness the Prince of Shu's path!"

"Can't you take another route?" Wu Qiqi said.

“There is no other way,” Chen Shuozhen sighed.

"Then give it a try!"

Wu Qiqi was furious like never before: "Dare to touch Wei Shuyu, I will make you wish you were dead, and I will dig up your ancestral graves!"

Wu Qiqi turned and left.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, she threw the love knot back into her hand.

"Here you go, I don't want your junk!"

Watching Wu Qiqi's departing figure, a hint of loneliness flashed in his eyes.

Chen Shuozhen bent down and picked up the love knot.

The love knot has been returned again...

soon.

Her eyes turned cold again.

To hold onto happiness, you can never rely on a man's charity.

Instead, you need to constantly demonstrate your value so that men can't live without you!

Wu Qiqi.

Next time, Wei Shuyu won't be able to dodge so easily.

The new chapter card has been approved...
