Chapter 644 Just kill him!

Shen Wantang looked at him calmly: "Father, don't worry, I won't say anything."

She's not stupid, how could she possibly tell her future mother-in-law something like this?

Shen Guannian, on the other hand, felt something was off. Having caught Qi Shi in an affair, he seemed to be both angry and somewhat excited.

Either Shen Guannian has a peculiar fetish, or—he's been waiting for this day for a long time! He can now divorce his wife openly and legitimately!

This is something that has never happened in the previous two lives. Could it be that Shen Guannian has a lover in secret in this life?

Shen Wantang had doubts in her heart, but she didn't say anything or care too much. She was about to get married, and even if Shen Guannian remarried, it wouldn't have much of an impact on her.

She pushed open the door and stepped out.

Du Juan and Qin Xin, who had been waiting for her outside, immediately followed her, and the three of them soon left the main courtyard and headed towards their own small courtyard.

But halfway there, they were stopped by someone.

"Second Miss, you really have some clever tricks up your sleeve!"

Chu Yanlu clapped her hands: "Killing two birds with one stone, killing two birds with one stone, truly amazing! Such deep scheming and such ruthless methods, I admire you, I admire you!"

Shen Wantang frowned as she looked at her. Why was Chu Yanluo still in the manor? Didn't Liu Nanshi already know she was here? Why hadn't she arrested her yet? Miss Liu's efficiency is terrible!

Seeing Chu Yanluo's sarcastic tone, Qin Xin immediately stepped forward and blocked Shen Wantang's path: "Who do you think you are, daring to spout nonsense in front of the Second Miss! Get lost, don't dirty our Second Miss's way back!"

Chu Yanluo's face darkened instantly. She stared at Qin Xin and said, "You really are annoying. No matter how many times I'm reborn, you haven't changed at all. You're always the same person who deserves a beating!"

Qin Xin exclaimed "Oh dear!" and widened her eyes, saying, "Are you talking about yourself? I never expected that someone who seems crazy and neurotic would actually be so self-aware of how annoying they are!"

"By the way, didn't you claim to know medicine? What, didn't you take your own pulse and get rid of the water in your brain?"

"Sigh, forget it. Your medical skills are only good enough to fool young ladies. You probably can't fool yourself. Besides, it's not even certain if you still have a brain. Don't bother with treatment. The more you treat, the worse you'll become."

Chu Yanluo was so angry she almost fell over, but she knew that when it came to cursing, she could never out-curse Qin Xin.

She could only suppress her anger, looking past Qin Xin at Shen Wantang: "Second Miss, I know that the eldest sister's humiliation today was your doing! You are so ruthless, pushing your own sister into an abyss. Aren't you afraid your father will find out? Aren't you afraid the Duke's Mansion and Young Master Gu will find out?"

Shen Wantang looked at her expressionlessly: "What are you talking about? I don't understand. Was that guy surnamed Wei someone I sent to Guyuan Temple? Or someone I told to knock my sister unconscious? Or someone I told to have an affair with Madam?"

Chu Yanlu sneered: "Stop pretending. After I came back, I figured out the whole story. You deliberately lured the young lady to steal your pink dress, which is why that guy surnamed Wei mistook you for someone else!"

Shen Wantang blinked: "When did you go blind? Weren't you in the room when Shen Mingxuan snatched my clothes?"

"Didn't you stop me from going after my clothes? If we're talking about people who harmed my sister, you're one of them too!"

"You're jumping around here because you're not satisfied with how my father treated you, is that right?"

"It's okay, I know you're in a hurry, but I can help you."

"Dujuan, go tell Father that this maid named Yanluo was also involved in my sister's loss of virginity. She failed to protect her mistress and even tried to frame me. Drag her away and beat her to death!"

Du Juan had long disliked Chu Yanluo, and upon hearing this, she immediately agreed and turned to walk towards Shen Guannian's courtyard.

Chu Yanluo was startled and quickly grabbed Du Juan, refusing to let her leave.

She retorted angrily, "Shen Wantang, I'm not like your maids! I didn't sell myself into the Shen family! I'm free, I didn't sign a contract of servitude, you have no right to kill me!"

Shen Wantang knew, of course, that she hadn't signed a contract of servitude with Shen Mingxuan, and that saying she would beat her to death was just a bluff.

After all, someone else truly wanted Chu Yanluo dead, so she didn't need to do it herself.

As Chu Yanlu was shouting, a little maid ran over.

The maidservant glanced at Chu Yanluo, then at Shen Wantang, and decisively reported to Shen Wantang: "Second Miss, Huayi has arrived. She says she wants to see Luoyan. Do you think we should let her in?"

Before Shen Wantang could speak, Chu Yanluo interrupted, "Second Miss, did you see that? Huayi came to see me. She's living a very comfortable life with Miss Liu, and now she wants me to go to the Grand Secretary's mansion to enjoy my life!"

Shen Wantang was truly shocked: "What did you say? Go to the Grand Secretary's mansion... to enjoy life?" Is that how you use the word "enjoy life"?

Chu Yanluo said smugly, "Huayi has already told me that the Grand Secretary's mansion is much better than the Shen mansion. Everything about it is top-notch, from food and clothing to housing and daily necessities. I can also make friends with powerful and influential people in the capital by following Miss Liu."

Shen Wantang: "Oh, that's great? Then you should go quickly!"

Chu Yanluo froze: "If you send me now, I'll definitely regret it someday! If it weren't for the young lady's accident, I wouldn't have come to you! You couldn't find a maid like me even with a lantern. I'm proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and I know everything from astronomy to geography. I'm so much better than those stupid maids around you who can't even read a few words!"

"so what?"

"So you should be begging me to stay. With me by your side to assist you, you'll definitely be able to dominate the world in the future!"

What if I don't want you to stay?

"Then you can't hide the fact that you secretly schemed and used tricks to harm your own sister anymore. I'll tell Young Master Gu. Do you think he'll still marry you if he finds out what you really are?"

"Probably...he will. If he doesn't marry me, who else can he marry?"

"you!!"

Chu Yanluo was speechless, feeling like she was about to die from her matter-of-fact tone. She snorted coldly and finally couldn't help but say, "Let me tell you the truth, I have memories of my past life. In my previous life, Gu Qianhan spent a fortune on me and almost married me! He didn't like you at all; the person he liked was me!"

Shen Wantang couldn't help but sigh. She thought that Chu Yanluo had been reborn twice and had finally learned to be low-key and cautious, since she knew how to change her appearance.

Surprisingly, her personality hadn't changed at all; she still liked to show off and use men as leverage.

Indeed, the old saying is true: it's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature.

Shen Wantang bluntly exposed Chu Yanluo's lie: "If Gu Qianhan really liked you, would he let you be a maid in our Shen family? You can fool others, but don't fool yourself. It's quite embarrassing."
