Chapter 961 Let’s die together!
"You..." Lu Zhinian looked up and wanted to speak.
Xue Ru was slapped unexpectedly again, with such force that her hand was hurt. She looked at the high-sounding man in front of her fiercely, and found his words ridiculous.
"You didn't harm her, but you poisoned her for your own selfish reasons?"
"You didn't harm her, but you had someone deliberately shock my sister's pregnancy and inject me with drugs that triggered the poison in her body?"
"Did you know that my sister was pregnant? Did you know that childbirth is like walking on the edge of hell for a woman? One mistake could mean two deaths. But you didn't care about her life or death at all. You poisoned her just to satisfy your own selfish desires. Did you know that after being poisoned, she suddenly went into labor and nearly died in the palace yesterday?!"
Lu Zhinian's face suddenly turned pale. "Impossible! I asked Zhuo Shuisheng, and he said the poison is not fatal. Besides, Madam Qin has been in the palace for so long, and Liu Qin said she has an antidote pill..."
"Anti-dote pills? Do you think that's a panacea?"
Xue Ru sneered, "Even if the poison isn't fatal, my sister is about to give birth, and the poison will make her lose her strength. If a woman can't use her strength during childbirth, the baby will die in her womb, and she will also die from hemorrhage."
"First you took Madam Qin away, then you poisoned my sister. You keep saying you'll keep her safe, but if my sister can't even survive childbirth, what are you going to do to protect her? Will you use your disgusting face, or will you go to hell and beg the King of Hell to bring my sister back?"
Xue Ru was petite, with a delicate face that held a hint of girlish innocence, but at this moment her face was filled with gloom, her words were as harsh as if filled with poison, and the fierceness in her eyes made it seem as if she wished to skin Lu Zhinian alive.
"Lu Zhinian, you keep saying that you love my sister."
"Back then, my sister was engaged to you. She treated you with all her heart and tried to please your Lu family in every way. She sincerely wanted nothing more than to marry into the Lu family and spend her life with you. But what about you? You treated her like a worn-out shoe. You threw away the friendship you had shared as childhood sweethearts. You almost killed my sister because of a concubine."
"You said that Big Brother Xiao took advantage of the situation. What a joke! If Big Brother Xiao hadn't saved my sister at Que Mountain, she would have died at the foot of Lingyun Temple!"
Xue Ru's face was full of sarcasm.
"Brother Xiao planned everything for my sister, cared for her, taught her to grow up, helped her escape imprisonment and learn to be independent. He treated my sister like an eagle in the sky, letting her soar without restraint. He treated my sister as if she were his own life, and would rather die than hurt my sister in the slightest. But what about you?"
"You only know how to suppress my sister and trample on her deep affection for you. You treat her as your vassal, elevating your status as Lord Lu San above my sister. You stand there condescendingly, waiting for her to come close, begging you to turn around and show some mercy. You have ulterior motives and you don't care about her life at all."
"You said you love her? That's ridiculous!"
Xue Ru's eyes were full of mockery, and her words became more and more sharp, like a sharp knife that cut Lu Zhinian until not a trace of skin was left.
"The one you loved was never your sister, but yourself. You simply treated your sister as your possession, accustomed to her being around you and giving everything for you for so many years. When one day your sister realized she no longer loved you, you began to feel resentful and filled with resentment."
"You never loved her from the beginning. You loved yourself. You were nothing but a heartless, selfish, and cold-hearted beast. If my sister hadn't left you, if she hadn't chosen to start over with Brother Xiao, but had still followed you so submissively, she would have been sucked dry and eaten alive by your Lu family by now, skinned and eaten alive, and left with no place to bury her!"
"So, Lu Zhinian, don't use your love to insult my sister!"
Lu Zhinian's face was pale, and his already weak and pale body was supported by the table to avoid falling down.
Xue Ru's words were like the whispers of a demon, reminding him of the past that he had almost forgotten. He remembered the past when Tang Ning cried and called him "Brother Lu," and how she had said she didn't have any, yet she had discarded him like a piece of trash. There were also those "memories" that clearly hadn't happened, but kept circling in his mind, driving him crazy.
In those memories, Tang Ning fell off a high cliff. No one rescued her and she lay in a snow cave for a long time before she was found and sent back to the capital. However, the injuries all over her body could no longer be healed.
Her legs were broken, her face was disfigured, and she was locked up by the Song family with no future.
In those fragmented memories, the once pampered and precious girl was crying hysterically. She was in a mess, with wounds festering on her body. Her shocking appearance made people tremble in their hearts.
She cried out to Brother Lu with grievance, begging for people to save her, but no one paid attention to her. Everyone was forcing her to die.
Lu Zhinian saw countless times in those memories where he stood aside with indifference, just as Xue Ru said, watching coldly, and even brought that concubine of the Song family to humiliate Tang Ning over and over again.
The girl who had been his childhood sweetheart seemed to have a huge hatred for him in those nightmares. He showed no mercy and mocked and tortured her over and over again, making her life worse than death.
“It’s not me…”
"That's not me!"
How could he treat Tang Ning like this? He has never loved that concubine!
Those memories that seemed not to belong to this life rolled violently, mixed with Tang Ning's crying and begging, his own curses and contempt, and those vicious words that he never thought could come out of his mouth, making his eyebrows twitch violently.
The severe pain in his head became more and more intense. The waves of pain were like a knife, drill, or axe, which seemed to be splitting him in half, making him feel a little unstable.
Lu Zhinian gripped the white marble table tightly, veins popping out on the back of his hands as he trembled constantly, and his eyes and eyebrows were filled with a hint of confusion and madness that blurred nightmares and reality.
"Tang Ning is mine!"
Those memories were false. He had never loved Song Shulan. He just had a misunderstanding with Tang Ning. He got used to her kindness and ignored her, but he already knew his mistake.
He never thought of harming Tang Ning's life, and he would never treat his childhood sweetheart like that.
The pain in Lu Zhinian's head made him look crazy: "No matter what you say, only I can save Tang Ning's life!"
"Give her to me, and I'll take her out of the capital and protect her life. From now on, she won't appear in public again, and I'll never have any other thoughts of causing trouble for the Wei Dynasty. I can promise you that I will treat her well and regard her as my own life. I will never let her down again..."
"Impossible!" Xue Ru said coldly, "I will never give my sister to you!"
Lu Zhinian: "Then let's die together!"
