Why does Chapter 37 seem even more exciting?
With a loud "snap," it was incredibly clear.
Huo Yunzhan was stunned by Shen Qingci's slap. When he came to his senses, his anger flared up.
Just as he was about to explode, Shen Qingci burst into tears first, her cries filled with unbearable sorrow: "I thought you didn't want me anymore!"
"I have never, not even once, dreamed of you!"
Huo Yunzhan's anger, which had just risen, was extinguished by Shen Qingci's cries.
The last time Shen Qingci got drunk in the peach blossom forest, he saw him and complained about him in the same way.
Shen Qingci wasn't finished yet; she punched Huo Yunzhan in the chest, yelling, "Why didn't you come to see me?!"
She was trembling all over as she cried, her fists pounding against Huo Yunzhan again and again.
You bastard!
She sobbed for a moment, then continued, "Are you blaming me? Blaming me for not protecting our child?"
Our child is gone!
"I hate them so much! I hate them for killing our child!"
She stopped crying abruptly, but then raised her head and stared intently at Huo Yunzhan: "Why aren't you sad? Aren't you upset?"
Huo Yunzhan's forehead vein throbbed: "Qingci..."
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Qingci swiftly slapped him across the face again.
"Smack!"
Huo Yunzhan hadn't expected there to be a second slap, and before he could react, he stared blankly at Shen Qingci, only to see tears rolling down her face.
"Of course you won't be sad or upset!"
"After all, the child in my belly is my only child, but not your only child!"
"If our child hadn't been lost, I wouldn't have known that you would..."
Shen Qingci sobbed uncontrollably: "How could you betray me!"
As Shen Qingci spoke, she stretched out her hand again.
Huo Yunzhan had learned his lesson this time and quickly moved away slightly. However, Shen Qingci simply raised her hand and unexpectedly kicked him.
Shen Qingci didn't hold back at all, kicking Huo Yunzhan in the groin, causing Huo Yunzhan to cry out in pain.
Shen Qingci looked astonished: "Do ghosts...feel pain too?"
"Still in a dream?"
Huo Yunzhan was afraid that Shen Qingci would notice something was wrong, so he almost ground his back teeth to powder. He took a deep breath and shook his head: "No, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt."
As he said this, he immediately took two steps back.
"I can explain what happened to Yue Niang."
"My colleague took me there."
"I was drunk by them, and I had no idea what was going on."
"It only happened once, and it never happened again, but I don't know how she got pregnant."
“She came to me and threatened me, saying that if I didn’t redeem her from her bondage and make proper arrangements for her and her child, I would make a scene in front of you.”
"I love you so much. I'm afraid you'll be sad and disappointed in me if you find out, so I had no choice but to agree to her request."
Shen Qingci lowered her head, her eyes filled with mockery.
Someone else took him there; he got drunk and doesn't know what happened.
Just that one time, and I don't know how I got pregnant?
I love you so much that I had no choice but to agree.
She had seen these words in countless storybooks before.
She had previously told Wanqing that what was written in those storybooks was too silly. Who would believe such a thing? If no one believed it, who would say it?
But to her utter surprise, she was able to hear it with her own ears.
It was Huo Yunzhan who told her.
As expected, the stories in the novels were too conservative.
"Whatever you say goes. Anyway, you're dead now, and I can't exactly go to the underworld to confront you."
"No matter the reason, the fact remains that you betrayed me."
Do you know how heartbroken and sad I am?
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath: "I used to care about you so much. After you died in battle, I even thought about going with you many times."
"Do you know that Yue Niang is pregnant with your child? I don't even want to dream about you or mention you again."
"You can leave now!"
Huo Yunzhan felt a burning pain on his face and legs, and the places on his body where she had hit him were also throbbing.
Hearing Shen Qingci say this, he quickly nodded: "Alright then, since you don't want to see me, I'll be leaving now."
"Take care of yourself."
After Huo Yunzhan finished speaking, he ran away very quickly.
Shen Qingci watched his retreating figure, and the corners of her mouth curled up.
Disgusting stuff.
If it weren't for the fact that she had already poisoned him, rendering his manhood unusable, and if she had kicked him there, he would have blamed her for his impotence, and she would have kicked him hard in that area!
Shen Qingci closed her eyes.
I silently reassured myself that there was no rush.
She still has a use for Huo Yunzhan's life.
She had to find a way to get information from Huo Yunzhan about the connection between the Huo family and the Shen family tragedy.
If the Huo family is truly connected to the tragedy of their Shen family, then she will surely tear the entire Huo family to pieces!
"The blows were still too light."
"You should have just kicked him in the groin."
Suddenly, Chu Jichen's voice came from the other side of the bed. Shen Qingci was startled and turned her head to see Chu Jichen maneuvering his wheelchair out from beside the bed.
Chu Jichen...is he here too?
Did he see everything that just happened?
Her house is quite lively tonight.
Shen Qingci took a deep breath and raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Why has Your Highness come?"
"Naturally... I heard that my future queen fell into the lake. Although the imperial physician said that she was fine, I was still very worried, so I came here to visit her."
"Unexpectedly, I happened to witness a great show."
Shen Qingci pursed her lips. Was she really only visiting because she was worried that she had fallen into the lake?
She felt that it was more likely he had learned from his spies at the Huo residence that Huo Yunzhan was here, and fearing that something might happen between them late at night, he rushed over...
Shen Qingci's eyelashes trembled slightly, but she answered the question he had asked when he first appeared: "Your Highness is sharp-eyed and sharp-eared. Every move of the Huo family cannot escape Your Highness's eyes. I do not believe Your Highness does not know that I sent Wanqing to the black market to find a drug that can make people unable to have sex again?"
Chu Jichen curled the corners of his lips into a half-smile: "I've heard about it."
Shen Qingci responded, "The medicine has been administered, and it's working well. I don't need to give him any more overt incriminating evidence."
"I will make him like a eunuch, a cripple! I will ensure the Huo family line ends!"
A fire suddenly ignited in Chu Jichen's eyes, and his eyebrows curved into a smile: "How ruthless the princess is to her former husband."
"If I anger the princess in the future, she won't treat me the same way, will she?"
Shen Qingci frowned: "I can't guarantee that, it all depends on Your Highness's performance. If Your Highness betrays me, I have a way that is countless times more ruthless than this."
She uttered harsh words, but in her heart she was thinking: Why is Chu Jichen addressing her in such a mess? First he called her General's Wife, then he dropped the General and just called her Wife.
When he first arrived, he kept referring to her as the future princess. But in just a few sentences, he's already dropped the "future" and is calling her "princess" directly?
And why did she feel that after she made such a harsh statement, Chu Jichen seemed even more excited and thrilled?
