Chapter 220
Jingwu raised an eyebrow. Could it be that this father and daughter were planning to cause trouble again?
They were locked up for three days, yet they still had the energy to cause trouble?
However, even if they cause trouble, she is not afraid and will just adapt to the situation.
The two walked to the front hall, and soon after, the funeral procession began.
There were very few people attending the funeral; only a few family members were present.
Jing Wu was pushed to the front, walking side by side with Jing Shu, and the two walked in silence.
As soon as she stepped outside the city, a voice echoed in Jing Shu's mind.
"Your mother died because of her, are you willing to accept that?"
Jing Shu's eyes widened suddenly as she looked around, trying to find the source of the deep male voice.
"Stop looking, you can't see me. I'm in your mind. Do you want revenge? Just listen to me obediently, and you can get your revenge."
Jing Shu glanced around and, finding no one else, took two deep breaths and asked him in her heart, her voice trembling.
"Who are you?"
A male voice continued in his mind: "I am someone who can help you. Your mother died in prison, and everyone in the palace knows. The concubines who usually dislike you are all mocking you behind your back. They are sitting together now, plotting how to ridicule you when you return to the palace. Are you willing to accept that?"
Upon hearing this, Jing Shu couldn't help but clench her hands tightly.
She was naturally unwilling to give up, so she asked, "What do I need to do?"
"It's simple. Kill Jingwu, and I'll give you the power to help you kill her!"
Hearing this, Jing Shu swallowed hard. A sudden, inexplicable fear gripped her. She had never killed anyone, especially not her own blood-related sister!
Moreover, if this fails, Jingwu will definitely not let him off the hook.
Upon thinking of this, Jing Shu instantly wilted. Her eyes darted around, but before she could speak, the voice seemed to have guessed what she was thinking and spoke before she could.
"Don't be afraid, I will help you. As long as you successfully kill Jingwu, I will help you become the Princess Consort of Hui. At that time, you will be in charge of the entire palace, and you can do whatever you want with those concubines. The Shao family will only have you as their niece, so naturally they will favor you with all their resources. Jing Shu, think of your mother, think of Jingwu's disdainful attitude..."
These words echoed in Jing Shu's mind, and hatred gradually rose in her eyes.
Jingwu sensed something was wrong with the surrounding magnetic field and suddenly turned his head to look at the person next to him, only to meet a pair of eyes full of hatred.
She frowned, instantly becoming defensive.
The moment their eyes met, Jing Shu instantly looked away.
Jingwu glanced at her suspiciously, a suspicion rising in his heart.
After everyone walked to the tomb and completed the ceremony, Jingwu was about to turn around and leave when he heard someone next to him say something vicious.
"Jingwu, the entire Prince's mansion knows I'm the daughter of a criminal. Are you satisfied now?"
"What?" Jingwu thought he had misheard, turned around in surprise to look at her, and asked subconsciously.
"Everyone in the Prince's mansion knows now, and all those concubines are laughing at me. Are you satisfied now? Is this the effect you wanted to achieve?" Jing Shu looked at her sister with eyes full of hatred.
The voice was right; the whole family was fine before she appeared. They moved away as soon as she returned home.
Before he met her, his parents were both well, and she could have found a good family to marry into.
But after meeting her, strange things started happening one after another, and his and his mother's lives got worse and worse, as if their luck had been stolen.
She was unwilling to accept it. She was once a well-bred young lady praised by everyone in Pingyao County, a pampered daughter of a wealthy family, and had been spoiled by her parents since childhood. How could she accept being ridiculed and bullied?
Why couldn't Jingwu have died in that Taoist temple from the beginning? If she had died, none of these things would have happened.
Jing Shu was filled with hatred and had no idea that the Jing family moved away from Pingyao County because she had offended the princess.
They are now connected to Jingwu because Shao Wanyan is shamelessly clinging to the Shao family so that she can marry into the royal family.
All of this was their own doing, yet she blamed it all on Jingwu.
Jingwu sneered, not wanting to waste any more words with her, and turned to go back.
She hadn't taken two steps when someone grabbed her hand with such force that they almost pulled her to the ground.
Fortunately, Jingwu was quick and steadied himself immediately, turning his head to look coldly at Jing Shu.
What exactly do you want to do?
"I'm going to kill you to pay for my mother's life!" Jing Shu suddenly erupted. Rather than let her suffer humiliation in the palace, she would rather die with Jing Wu here.
She lunged at the person in front of her, reaching out her hands to grab her neck, but before she could touch the girl, she was blocked by a barrier.
Jingwu stared at her coldly, his brows furrowed tightly.
How did things suddenly turn out like this? Did he go crazy after being locked up for three days?
Jingwu looked at the person who had been knocked to the ground, suppressed his doubts for the time being, and then said, "If you dare to lay a hand on me again, I will cripple your hand."
Hearing this, Jing Shu became even more ruthless.
Seeing that the Shao family members beside her were indifferent, she became even more ruthless.
They're all nieces, why are they favoring Jingwu? That's not fair!
Jing Shu's gaze swept over the four men from the Shao family, finally settling on Ruan Chongyue.
If you can't kill Jingwu, then kill this woman and let her taste what it feels like to lose a loved one!
She took out the dagger hidden in her sleeve and ran towards Ruan Chongyue. Just as she was about to stab her with the dagger, she felt a force pulling at her waist.
She looked down, but couldn't see anything.
Before she could react, the force flung her to the ground to the side.
Jingwu walked over and looked at her coldly, then mercilessly crippled her hands.
"You really are stubborn. In that case, you don't need to keep these hands anymore."
"Jingwu!" Jing Shu felt a sharp pain, and then her hands fell limply like noodles, no longer under her control.
"Jingwu! You've crippled my hand! Father will never forgive you!"
"Is that so?" Jing Wu chuckled as he looked at Jing Ming, who seemed ready to run away at any moment. "Then I'd like to see just how your father is determined to stop me."
Jingming was terrified when he heard this, and began to resent his youngest daughter.
Why did you suddenly start acting crazy?!
"Ah Wu, I... I didn't mean to settle scores with you. What she did was her own decision, it has nothing to do with me."
Jing Ming rushed over to explain, his hands waving so fast they left afterimages, as if afraid of being implicated.
"Father, how could you do this? Does everything you said to me at the restaurant mean nothing? You said..."
"Oh well! Whether I said it or not, it doesn't matter anymore."
