Chapter 490 My brother is finally acting like a man!

Xiao Qingxi didn't dare say that they had neglected the people around them because they were trying to kill Shen Wantang. After hesitating for a long time, she only said, "Everything happened too fast. It's normal that we couldn't react in time!"

"Besides, what right do the maids and nannies of our Prince's mansion have to interfere with Liu Nanshi? Didn't her own maids also fail to protect her? I think that maid is the most guilty; she failed to protect her mistress and should be beaten to death!"

"When my brother saw her fall into the water, he jumped in to save her immediately. Who knew she was so fragile? She stopped breathing after only a short while."

Prince Ning pointed at her, so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time.

Xiao Qingyuan's eyes reddened, and he roared at Xiao Qingxi, "Stop talking! Nan Shi is dead, why are you still blaming her? Shouldn't you be cursing yourself? If it weren't for you, Nan Shi wouldn't have fallen into the water! If she hadn't fallen into the water, she wouldn't have died! She was killed by you, it was you! Xiao Qingxi!"

Xiao Qingxi was also furious: "Xiao Qingyuan, do you dare say that I killed her? It was clearly you who killed her! If you hadn't taken her out today, hadn't taken her to the river, how could she have fallen into the water?! It was your own ill intentions that brought you this retribution!"

Xiao Qingxi didn't dare to reveal the specifics of his ill intentions.

After all, she was involved in killing Shen Wantang, and if Prince Ning and Princess Ning found out, she would be punished again.

Moreover, not only will she be taught a lesson, but they will also feel that Shen Wantang has suffered a great injustice, and they will treat her even better and protect her more in the future.

As Princess Ning listened to her two children blaming each other, a metallic taste suddenly rose in her throat, and then everything went black; she fainted.

Shen Wantang hurriedly caught her: "Mother! Quick, help Mother into the house!"

Just as Granny Quan was about to move, Prince Ning immediately stepped forward, picked up Princess Ning horizontally, and strode into the house.

Shen Wantang followed her in, taking her pulse, administering acupuncture, decocting medicine, and feeding her the medicine.

Princess Ning didn't wake up until midnight.

Xiao Qingxi immediately stepped forward, pushed Shen Wantang aside, and squeezed herself in front of Princess Ning: "Mother, you've finally woken up! I was so scared! The imperial physician has also arrived. Let him take another look at you. I really don't trust a half-baked doctor to treat you."

Princess Ning shook her head: "I know my own body best. Tang'er has treated me better than anyone else. The imperial physician also said that her prescription was appropriate. Let the imperial physician go back!"

"But--"

"You should all go back now. I don't want to see anyone."

Upon hearing her words, Prince Ning immediately ordered Granny Quan to send everyone out.

Shen Wantang was the first to walk out.

Xiao Qingxi walked behind her and deliberately spoke in a voice that she could hear: "Someone must be overjoyed today. Liu Nanshi is dead, and no one is competing with her for the position of Crown Princess. So she is even working extra hard to treat my mother's illness. Humph, pretentious, disgusting!"

Shen Wantang did not turn around, and said calmly, "Someone killed a person and acted as if nothing happened. I don't know if they are too cold-blooded and ruthless, or if it was premeditated, so they are happy after it was done."

"Shen Wantang, who are you accusing of premeditated scheme?!"

Xiao Qingxi shouted and ran forward to stop Shen Wantang: "Explain yourself! What do you mean?"

Shen Wantang said sarcastically, "What could I possibly mean? I didn't name names, so why are you in such a hurry?"

"You think I wouldn't recognize you're talking about me just because you didn't name me?!"

"I was just saying it casually. Why are you so eager to involve yourself in this? Doesn't that mean you're feeling guilty?"

"You're the one who's guilty! What do I have to be guilty about? I didn't kill Liu Nanshi! It was just her bad luck!"

"She was indeed unlucky. Meeting you was her misfortune. Otherwise, she would still be living a good life as the young lady in the Grand Secretary's mansion."

"you!!!"

Xiao Qingxi was so angry she almost ground her teeth to powder. Seeing Xiao Qingyuan walking forward like a puppet, stumbling along, she grabbed him and pulled him over: "Brother, did you hear that? She said Nan Shi has bad luck and even said she deserves her misfortune! Aren't you going to scold her back for Nan Shi?"

Xiao Qingyuan was lost in his grief and couldn't hear what Xiao Qingxi was saying. He just stared blankly at her, murmuring between tears, "Nan Shi, Nan Shi..."

Seeing his state, Xiao Qingxi couldn't help but feel annoyed: "Brother, pull yourself together! You've become like this ever since you came back from outside. Can't you act like a man? One Liu Nanshi died, and there are other women. Just find another one, right?"

Xiao Qingyuan remained dazed: "I don't want anyone else, I only want Nan Shi, Nan Shi..."

Seeing that she couldn't reason with him, Xiao Qingxi turned to Shen Wantang and said, "Did you see that? My brother only has Liu Nanshi in his heart, he doesn't care about you at all! You're not even worth a hair on Liu Nanshi's head. Even if Liu Nanshi were dead, my brother would never look at you! If you know what's good for you, get out of our house right now!"

These words finally brought Xiao Qingyuan back to his senses. He looked at Shen Wantang, stepped forward and grabbed her clothes tightly: "Yes, it's you! If you hadn't clung to my position as my legal wife, how could I have failed to marry Nan Shi! Shen Wantang, you deserve to die! Get out of our Ning Prince's Mansion!"

As he spoke, he gave Shen Wantang a hard shove, knocking her to the ground.

Du Juan and Qin Xin exclaimed in surprise and rushed to help her: "Princess Consort, are you alright? Are you hurt?"

Xiao Qingxi burst into laughter: "Oh, that's great! My brother's finally acting like a man! Shen Wantang, you deserve it! I told you to get lost but you wouldn't. Now look what's happened, my brother's taken matters into his own hands! Brother, kick her already, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Qingyuan raised his hand and slapped her: "What are you laughing at?! Nan Shi is dead and you're still laughing!!"

The resounding slap echoed through the night sky. Xiao Qingxi covered her face, staring at him in disbelief: "Xiao Qingyuan, you dare hit me? I'll fight you to the death!"

She screamed and lunged at Xiao Qingyuan, but Xiao Qingyuan, enraged, was a hundred times more ruthless than her. After slapping her several times, he suddenly pushed her to the ground as well.

Xiao Qingxi was almost furious: "Xiao Qingyuan, you beat your own sister for a dead person! Your heart is completely biased! You will be punished, you will die a horrible death! I'm going to tell Father and Mother. You dared to slap me, Father will definitely beat you to death!"

Xiao Qingyuan spoke in a chilling tone: "Hitting you is too lenient! It was all your bad idea that killed Nan Shi! You're a jinx! Get out of the Ning Prince's Mansion and go back to the Huo family! You're not allowed to come back here! Get out!"

Xiao Qingxi lay on the ground and cried loudly, "Father, Mother, Xiao Qingyuan has gone mad! He's disowning me, his sister, for Liu Nanshi's sake! Someone, help me!"
