Chapter 79 Do you hate me that much?
Chapter 79 Do you hate me that much?
Shen Tang's face was deathly pale, and she squatted there without moving.
Tingsong frowned and called out again, "Princess Consort, please rise."
The woman didn't understand anything about the Crown Prince's Consort; she only saw a group of people dressed in black following behind Tingsong, and she also saw that Tingsong looked fierce and menacing.
Then she remembered what Shen Tang had just said about her brother-in-law kicking her out of the house in order to seize their family's property.
Seeing this, she thought that her brother-in-law was trying to kill Shen Tang, and she immediately felt indignant and spoke angrily.
"I say, young man, you look like a decent person, how can you be so vicious?"
“Your sister-in-law has lost her husband, and now you have seized her family property and kicked her out of the house. She is already pitiful enough. How can you be so vicious as to want to kill her?”
"As an elder, let me give you a piece of advice: Heaven is watching what people do, so be careful or you might get struck by lightning!"
Upon hearing the woman's words, Ting Song's eyebrows shot up, and he instantly drew his sword, gritting his teeth as he said, "She told you her husband is dead?!"
The woman hadn't expected the young man to have such a bad temper, drawing his sword so readily. She was instantly stunned and speechless.
Seeing this, Shen Tang stood up, pulled the woman behind him, and said to Ting Song, "I'll go with you, why make things difficult for her?"
Ting Song now sees Shen Tang as someone he doesn't like at all. He already harbored resentment towards Shen Tang, and now that he hears her telling outsiders that the young master is dead, he's even angrier.
He sarcastically remarked to her, "The Crown Princess is truly remarkable."
Normally, he would never dare to do such an insubordinate thing, but Tingsong was so angry that he couldn't control himself at all.
Shen Tang knew that Qingyang and Tingsong had grown up with Meng Huaiyan since childhood and were very loyal to their master, so it was understandable that Tingsong was so angry.
Shen Tang said "Thank you, Auntie" to the woman, then got up and walked out of the cabin.
Listening to the pine trees, the Shadow Guards followed closely behind.
Shen Tang thought he had been very cautious, especially since the boat had been sailing for most of the day, but he didn't expect that they would still discover his trail and catch up with him so quickly.
Shen Tang felt utterly defeated and couldn't help but ask, "How did you discover my whereabouts so quickly?"
Ting Song snorted coldly: "Princess Consort, you don't actually think your methods are very clever, do you?"
"The Crown Princess has underestimated the strength of the Shadow Guards."
Shen Tang: "......"
When Shen Tang stepped out of the cabin and saw the dozen or so eight-oared boats lined up in front of the cargo ship, he instantly understood why Ting Song and the others had been able to catch up with them so quickly.
Although these eight-oared boats are small and low, they are lightweight and fast. These boats are used for patrol and reconnaissance and are vessels that can only be used by the government.
Given the power and influence of the Meng family, it's not surprising that they were able to borrow these eight oars.
Shen Tang sighed and resignedly disembarked from the cargo ship.
Instead of returning the way he came, Tingsong sailed his eight-oared boat towards the capital.
Waterways are inherently more convenient than land routes, not to mention the speed of the boat. By 9 PM, Shen Tang and the others had returned to the Meng residence.
Tingsong pushed open the bedroom door and said to her, "The young master is waiting for you inside."
Shen Tang unconsciously clenched her fists and stood still.
Tingsong stood respectfully to the side, without urging him, but thought to himself, "Since you know fear, why are you running away like that?"
Shen Tang stood quietly for a while before finally stepping inside.
Perhaps due to excessive blood loss, Meng Huaiyan's face looked pale. He sat leaning against the headboard, and when he saw Shen Tang come in, his eyes were fixed on her.
When Shen Tang entered and saw Meng Huaiyan's deep, cold eyes, her heart trembled, and she subconsciously turned her head away, not daring to look again.
Shen Tang remained silent, and Meng Huaiyan also kept quiet.
Shen Tang stood to the side, fidgeting with her fingers with some unease.
After a moment, Meng Huaiyan finally let out a cold laugh: "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Shen Tang stopped clasping her hands: "I have nothing to say."
"So you have nothing to say, Shen Tang? I really didn't expect you to be so ruthless!"
"Do you know that you abandoned me there? I could die at any moment!"
Ever since he learned of her accident, his heart has been constantly on edge, worried that she might get hurt or that she might be scared.
Only when I finally saw her and realized she was safe and sound did I finally feel relieved.
He was seriously injured while saving her, but what did she do in return?
She abandoned him without hesitation. Did she hate him that much? She wished he were dead.
Meng Huaiyan is someone who absolutely hates losing control, because losing control means losing rationality and the ability to think calmly. He is the future head of the Meng family and must uphold the family's honor.
Therefore, every decision he makes is related to the life and death of the entire Meng family. He must always remain clear-headed and rational, weigh the pros and cons, and make the most advantageous decision.
Only with Shen Tang did he repeatedly make exceptions, lowering his standards for her time and time again.
He treated her with his whole heart, but Shen Tang trampled his sincerity into the mud.
She is clearly a person who is easily moved to pity, yet she is so ruthless towards him.
Meng Huaiyan was heartbroken beyond measure. He bit his lip tightly, not wanting to reveal any vulnerability in front of her.
He is Meng Huaiyan; he should be powerful, fearless, and decisive, not a pitiful wretch who begs for love but is abandoned.
During his waiting period, he thought countless times, "Why don't I just kill her? Would it stop the pain if I killed her?" If he killed her, he could return to the calm and rational Meng Huaiyan he used to be.
But he sadly discovered that he simply couldn't bring himself to do it, even though she had treated him this way, even though she wanted him dead.
"Then what do you want me to do?" Shen Tang's lips curled into a cold sneer: "To be imprisoned in this mansion by you for the rest of my life, to be your captive without any dignity?"
“I am a human being, not a cold object. No one can stand being locked up like a prisoner.”
"You forced me to do this!"
"I forced you?" Meng Huaiyan was so angry that he smashed the medicine bowl on the bedside table. "You were the one who took the contraceptive first. You did something wrong first, so I locked you up."
"Now you're blaming me for your mistakes? That's ridiculous!"
As expected, arguing with Meng Huaiyan always ends like this; he will never learn to respect people.
Shen Tang closed her eyes, feeling utterly exhausted: "Think whatever you want, you're never wrong anyway."
Shen Tang has no desire to face Meng Huaiyan at all and plans to stay in a side room tonight.
Before she could take more than two steps, Meng Huaiyan rushed out of bed, grabbed her wrist tightly, and angrily demanded, "Where are you going again?!"
Shen Tang struggled for a moment but couldn't break free, so she gave up: "I'll go sleep in the side room."
"So you hate me that much?! You wish I were dead, and now you don't even want to sleep in the same bed with me?!"
"What do I have to do for you to see me? Do you have to kill me?!"
