Chapter 371 Liang Yusong's Collapse
Murong Xiao's breathing became rapid and fine beads of cold sweat oozed out of his forehead.
He stared at Yuan Wanru, his throat tightened as if being strangled by an invisible hand.
He had never felt the threat of death so clearly. This woman really dared to kill him.
She never plays by the rules.
She can face life and death threats with a smile. She can suddenly turn the tables and make him embarrassed when he thinks he has won.
Murong Xiao still can't figure out how Yuan Wanru was poisoned.
Looking at the cold smile on Yuan Wanru's lips, Murong Xiao's voice trembled a little, "Wait, I..."
He only has one life, and he can't die here.
Liang Yusong noticed his hesitation and looked up suddenly, staring at him with a pair of tearful eyes through the veil of the veil.
Her fingers tightly grasped his sleeves, her knuckles turning white, as if she was grasping at the last straw.
"Cousin, don't..."
Her voice was tearful and as fragile as glass that could break at any time.
Murong Xiao didn't look at her.
He didn't dare to look.
He was afraid that he would be soft-hearted and hesitate.
It is true that he has feelings for Liang Yusong. Liang Yusong has been a well-behaved, obedient and sensible cousin over the years, so of course he loves her.
However, he was a man who wanted to do great things, and he could not sacrifice his life for Liang Yusong.
"I'm leaving. I'm leaving now."
He whispered, his voice hoarse, as if trying to convince himself, "I hope you'll keep your word."
Yuan Wanru raised the corners of her lips slightly, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes.
She waved her hand gently, signaling her subordinates to make way.
Liang Yusong was trembling all over. He suddenly rushed over and grabbed Murong Xiao's clothes tightly.
"Cousin! Don't leave me! I don't want to die!"
Her voice was shrill, like the last cry of a dying bird.
Murong Xiao's fingertips trembled slightly, but he did not look back in the end.
He ruthlessly pulled back his sleeves, and the sound of tearing fabric was particularly harsh in the silent wilderness.
"I'm sorry, cousin."
His voice was soft, but it was like a sharp knife, piercing Liang Yusong's heart.
After saying this, he left resolutely, in a hurry, without any pause.
Liang Yusong stared at his back in a daze until he completely disappeared from her sight.
Her body seemed to be drained of all its strength, and she slowly slid down to the ground.
"don't want……"
Her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible, and tears fell silently.
She couldn't believe that Murong Xiao abandoned her like this.
She did so much for him and never had any complaints. Her second brother paid with his life for it, and she almost destroyed everything she had. Their Liang family was wholeheartedly devoted to him and offended Lu Jiangnian and Yuan Wanru.
But in the end, he didn't even hesitate and just left her to the enemy.
"Oh……"
Yuan Wanru's laughter came from above her head, with undisguised sarcasm in it.
Liang Yusong raised her head suddenly, and through her tearful eyes, she saw Yuan Wanru looking down at her condescendingly, with mockery in her eyes.
"Look, you've given your heart and soul to the Second Prince, but what did you get in return?"
Yuan Wanru slowly squatted down, reached out and gently lifted Liang Yusong's chin, as if she was admiring a broken toy.
"How pitiful and sad." Her voice was gentle, but every word was heart-piercing. "Liang Yusong, you are just a pitiful creature."
Anger instantly ignited in Liang Yusong's eyes, and she suddenly raised her hand, trying to grab Yuan Wanru's face.
"Bitch! You're the one who got me into this situation!"
Yuan Wanru sneered, grabbed her wrist easily, and pushed her backhand. Liang Yusong fell heavily to the ground in a miserable state.
Yuan Wanru stood up, looked down at her condescendingly, and suddenly reached out and pulled off her veil.
"It's more comfortable to talk to you like this."
Liang Yusong's face was completely exposed to the sun.
Her skin was originally fair and delicate, but when the wind blew, her face began to show some red rashes.
Liang Yusong knew that if she continued to be exposed, these areas would gradually become itchy and ulcerated, leaving her unrecognizable.
Her eyes were red and swollen, and her lips were chapped. The beauty that she had first seen in the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion was gone, leaving only a disheveled appearance.
"ah!"
Liang Yusong screamed and frantically reached out to grab the veil back, "Give it back to me! Give it back to me now!"
She doesn't want to become ugly!
She doesn't want anyone to see her like this!
Thinking of the miserable condition of unbearable itching all over the body and skin ulcers, Liang Yusong was horrified and tears flowed uncontrollably.
Yuan Wanru just sneered and threw the veil aside.
"What's the point of coming?"
She spoke slowly, with a cold light in her eyes, "You will suffer much more if you fall into my hands."
Liang Yusong was trembling all over, and fear surged like a tide.
"Yuan Wanru! If you dare to touch me, my father will not let you go!"
She shouted hysterically, trying to threaten her with her last bit of strength.
Yuan Wanru laughed softly as if she heard a joke.
"Your father?" She tilted her head slightly, her eyes full of sarcasm, "Your father can't even protect himself now, how can he care about you?"
Liang Yusong's face turned pale instantly.
Only then did she realize that she was completely isolated and helpless.
Murong Xiao abandoned her, the Liang family was in trouble, and the only one left by her side was Lu E.
She turned her head suddenly and looked at Lu'e, with a final hope in her eyes.
Lu'e had been standing silently by the side. When she saw Liang Yusong looking at her, she rushed forward without hesitation to protect her master.
However, as soon as she moved, Xuanying appeared behind her like a ghost and slashed her on the back of the neck with a knife.
Lu'e groaned and fell down softly.
Yuan Wanru glanced at her calmly and said calmly: "You are a loyal person, but unfortunately, you followed the wrong person."
Liang Yusong was completely desperate.
She collapsed on the ground, tears flowing silently, and she no longer had the arrogance she had before.
Yuan Wanru looked at her like this without any pity in her eyes.
She slowly squatted down, reached out and pinched Liang Yusong's chin, forcing her to look up at her.
"Liang Yusong, do you know why I don't kill you now?"
Liang Yusong's lips trembled and he didn't dare to answer.
Yuan Wanru smiled slightly, and that smile was so beautiful that it was breathtaking, but it made Liang Yusong feel like he was falling into an icy cave.
"Because of death, killing you with one knife is too easy for you."
She released her hand, stood up, and looked down at her condescendingly. Her voice was soft, but it sounded like the whisper of a devil.
"Guess how I'm going to torture you."
Liang Yusong was trembling all over, and the fear almost suffocated her.
Yuan Wanru turned around and told Xuanying calmly, "Take her back."
Xuanying nodded and picked up Liang Yusong like a lamb to be slaughtered.
Liang Yusong struggled, but was completely powerless to resist.
She looked at Yuan Wanru's back, and countless horrible thoughts flashed through her mind. How was Yuan Wanru going to torture her?
Fear overwhelmed her like a tide, and she finally broke down and cried out loud.
"Yuan Wanru! You killed me! You killed me!"
Yuan Wanru didn't even turn her head and just chuckled.
"Don't worry, I will make you...beg for death."
Her voice was light and light, but it made Liang Yusong fall into the abyss completely.
