Chapter 329 Questioning, Shen Chu angrily splashes water on Luo Heng

Shen Chu shook off his hand, her expression indifferent.

“The child is mine, and has nothing to do with anyone else. I don’t need to explain anything to you.”

If you still cherish our sworn brotherhood, then don't pursue this matter any further.

If you feel it's not worth it, then treat me like a stranger from now on, and I won't blame you.

Luo Heng's face turned pale instantly, and even his breathing became heavier.

He stared intently at Shen Chu.

Shen Chu pursed her lips and remained silent.

Luo Heng suddenly laughed. At first, it was a cold chuckle, but the laughter gradually grew louder and became a laugh filled with anger.

"What a fine sworn brother you are, it's all a lie, you're not even a man to begin with."

Having been sworn brothers for so long, which of us—Li Chengxuan, Zhou Jun, and I—hasn't been completely honest and open with you?

But what about you? How did you treat us?

He stared intently at Shen Chu, a flame of anger igniting in his eyes.

"You first concealed your identity as a woman, and later you concealed the fact that you were pregnant."

I'm starting to wonder if you're telling the truth at all, or if you're just trying to use the three of us to do things for you.

While you were making a fool of us, were you also secretly cursing us as a bunch of idiots?

Seeing that he was getting angrier and angrier, Shen Chu couldn't help but interrupt him loudly.

"That's not true. I never intended to trick you, fool you, or secretly mock you."

When I swore brotherhood, I was sincere and serious.

But at that time, my identity was that of a descendant of a traitor, and I wanted to overturn the verdict on the Ning'an Marquis's mansion. I dared not reveal this identity.

But aside from the secret of concealing my identity, I have a clear conscience towards any of you—you, Chengxuan, Zhou Jun.

"A clear conscience?" Luo Heng's lips curled into a mocking smile.

"Pei Yuan must have known you were a woman long ago, Shen Chu. I never expected you to be so cunning."

On the one hand, they befriend us and use the bond of sworn brotherhood to make us work for them.

On the other hand, she used her female identity to seduce Pei Yuan, making her run around seeking justice for the Ning'an Marquis's family.

I've always prided myself on being clever, but I can't match your cunning.

I was acting like a fool, trying my best to cover up your identity as a woman.

Little did I know you were already carrying his bastard child in your belly. Haha, I'm truly the biggest fool in the world.

"Luo Heng, that's enough."

Shen Chu interrupted him again.

“We’ve sworn brotherhood and have a life-or-death bond, but that doesn’t mean I have to tell you everything, does it?”

Ask yourself honestly, have you told us everything about yourself? Don't you have any secrets of your own?

Luo Heng's eyes flickered slightly, but then he remembered that he had been planning to help Shen Chu fake her death recently, and his anger rose again.

He grabbed Shen Chu's wrist and questioned her angrily.

"But I have asked you about your future plans several times, and I have expressed my feelings for you more than once."

You know I like you, so why didn't you tell me that you and Pei Yuan already have a child?

For your sake, I applied to the Ministry of Personnel in advance to come to Jiangning and arrived in Yangzhou ahead of you to help investigate the case.

For your sake, I secretly plotted to end things in Yangzhou as soon as possible, so I could take you far away and live a secluded life in the martial world.

Do you know that what you're doing makes me feel like a complete idiot?

"A fool who can be easily fooled, Shen Chu, is it fun to fool me?"

Luo Heng grew angrier as he spoke, increasing the strength in his grip until Chen Chu staggered.

He tried to shake it off, but failed.

Luo Heng has lost his mind and is completely irrational.

With her other hand, she grabbed the cold tea from the table and splashed it at him.

Tea was splashed in Luo Heng's face, and two tea leaves were still stuck on his eyebrows.

He paused for a moment, then loosened his grip slightly.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shen Chu shook off his hand and threw the teacup on the table.

"I didn't mean to fool you, but you're angry, so I won't believe anything you say."

"Let's talk again once you've calmed down."

After saying that, she opened the door and left.

Luo Heng watched her retreating figure, then angrily turned around and overturned the table.

The teapot and teacups on top crashed and shattered all over the floor.

Hearing the commotion, Wanqiu quickly came in to check.

Luo Heng sat amidst a pile of broken porcelain shards, muttering to himself in a daze.

"Liars, they're all liars."

Wanqiu sighed, gently took Luo Heng's hand, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the wounds caused by the broken porcelain shards.

"I told you long ago not to fall in love with Chen Chu. Be ruthless and use her to get rid of Pei Yuan. Wouldn't that be better?"

Luo Heng was stunned for a moment, a look of confusion flashing in his eyes.

Yes, his initial goal was to use Shen Chu to deal with Pei Yuan.

But ever since he realized he had fallen in love with Shen Chu, he had put the matter out of his mind.

He couldn't bear to use Shen Chu anymore.

But Chen Chu was pregnant with Pei Yuan's child.

The girl he liked was pregnant with his enemy's child.

They've been together for a long time.

Luo Heng suddenly clenched his fist.

"Ouch, young master, you're hurting me," Wanqiu cried out as she bandaged his wound.

Luo Heng released his grip, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes.

"Immediately order the members of the Bi Sha Hall to take turns to capture Pei Yuan's head."

He is about to take Pei Yuan's life.

Pei Yuan caused him to suffer a miserable and lonely childhood, and now that he has finally fallen in love with someone, Pei Yuan has ruined it again.

He wanted Pei Yuan to pay the price immediately.

-----

When Shen Chu returned home, he looked somewhat tired.

Hongxiu looked indignant. "How could Young Master Luo speak of you like that? It's really too much."

He actually blamed the girl for not telling him the truth. Please, how are you supposed to explain something like this?

I can't just openly say that I'm pregnant and that it's pointless to love me, can I?

Besides, it's his business if he likes you. Does that mean you have to accept it? Does it mean you have to do everything according to his wishes? It's utterly absurd.

Shen Chu didn't expect Luo Heng to react so strongly.

She rubbed her temples. "Alright, stop talking. Where's Senior Brother?"

When I left the teahouse, I only saw Hongxiu.

Hongxiu scratched her head, "I don't know what the young master went to do, he's being so mysterious."

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Feng's voice came from outside.

"Here you are, Ah Chu. Look what I bought for you!"

Han Feng walked in carrying a cat.

The cat had snow-white fur, a round face, and round eyes. Its emerald-green pupils curiously examined Chen Chu.

Then two little paws stretched out towards Chen Chu, and her pink little mouth opened.

Meow~ Meow~

It's as if it's saying: Hug me.

"What an adorable cat!"

Shen Chu fell in love with the cat almost at first sight.

She reached out and took it, touching its snow-white fur. She found the cat's fur to be soft, smooth, and very comfortable to touch.

As soon as the cat was in Chen Chu's arms, it seemed to smell a comfortable scent, immediately closed its eyes, exposed its round belly, and lazily nestled in Chen Chu's arms.

Han Feng looked on incredulously.

"This little guy kept barking in my arms, but he quieted down when he was in yours."

It seems you have a connection with it; why don't you give it a name?

As soon as she finished speaking, Hongxiu interjected, "I...I have a good name."
