Chapter 173 She took action
In Jiang Qingning's eyes, Xun Chen is now like a dying man, a fish on a sticky board waiting to be slaughtered. There is not even a trace of friendship between the two of them.
When faced with such a sinister, cunning and treacherous villain, she would simply hit him with one direct blow and send him to hell.
"You really have nothing to say to me? There was Mo Li between us." Xun Chen said with a painful expression.
Jiang Qingning's eyes were cold. "How dare you mention a child to me? You are fully responsible for Xun Moli's current condition. I have long severed our mother-son relationship. The letter of severance was written by the Tongzhi."
Xun Chen was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward quickly: "When did this happen? How come I don't know about it?"
"No, I mean, I am Mo Li's father after all, you should at least let me know about this..."
"Haven't I informed you now? What else does Lord Xun want?"
Jiang Qingning looked impatient and turned to look at him: "Xun Chen, what on earth are you going to do?"
"Do you really have to talk to me like this? Even if you don't take into account our eight years of marriage, it was me who helped the Jiang family eight years ago. Even if it's for the sake of our past friendship, can you please listen to what I have to say first?"
Xun Chen's eyes were dark, and when he mentioned what happened that year, a hint of guilt flashed across his face subconsciously.
Oh.
"Okay, then you talk and I'm listening." Jiang Qingning smiled sarcastically and nodded.
Xun Chen clenched his fists and struggled for a long time before saying, "Now the Anping Marquis's Mansion looks flashy on the outside, but it's actually very empty on the inside. The treasury is in deficit. My mother wanted to do business, but she lost 5,000 taels of silver in just one month. I want you to help lead the Anping Marquis's Mansion into business."
"Don't worry, the silver I earn will be handed over to Mo Li after I'm gone. He is my eldest son..."
Xun Chen felt humiliated. He had not wanted to come to Jiang Qingning, but Jiang Qingning was now very famous in business. He had also inquired from many sources and found out that Jiang Qingning seemed to be much smarter than he looked.
For so many years, he had not discovered Jiang Qingning's true face, and had mistaken pearls for fish eyes, making one mistake after another.
Moreover, Jiang Qingning is the destined princess of the Zhenbei Palace. She is well-known in the business world, and everyone has to give her seven points of face. Now that Xun Chen wants to invest in the business, the first person he thinks of is Jiang Qingning.
But he couldn't bring himself to beg for mercy, so he could only say that his mother had to bear the loss. When he made money by cooperating with Jiang Qingning, he would make a few sets of jewelry for his mother.
Xun Chen confidently took out his chips. The two of them had a child, and Jiang Qingning would give him some face even for the child. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile.
"Qingning, you know me very well. I braved great danger to help the Jiang family and saved the second and third branches from death. I will not break my promise now."
"Heh~" Jiang Qingning sneered, and a sudden laugh interrupted Xun Chen's endless chatter.
Jiang Qingning found it funny for no reason. Xun Chen's face looked ugly. Looking at her sarcastic expression, he couldn't help but feel a little panic in his heart.
"Qingning, what are you laughing at?"
"Of course I'm laughing at you, you're daydreaming." Jiang Qingning said proudly, "I did it."
"What did you say?" Xun Chen was confused.
"What did you do?"
"I made your five thousand taels."
Jiang Qingning stated in a cold and firm voice.
"Xun Chen, how dare you lie to me and still swear to me that you helped the Jiang family?"
"When you took the bait laid by Lin Chong without hesitation, did you ever imagine that one day I would discover you?"
Jiang Qingning walked towards him, his words and actions merciless. Xun Chen was shocked by the powerful momentum in front of him and could not help but stagger back, with waves of turmoil in his heart.
"How could you..."
"No, who was it that whispered those words in your ears? It was clearly me back then. It was clearly me who saved the Jiang family!"
"Oh, you've been indebted to me for so many years, and you really think you've done a good deed? Of course, it was your good wife Jiang Ruyi who told me. She told me everything."
Jiang Qingning curled his lips, a cold expression appearing on his face.
Xun Chen felt like he was falling into an icy cave. During the time when Jiang Ruyi died, he was threatened and forced to send Bai Qingyi to Zhuangzi for imprisonment, where she was not allowed to leave for the rest of her life.
But since everything had been peaceful around him and he couldn't find out anything, he really thought that Jiang Ruyi was just finding an excuse to trick him into leaving.
"That day?" Xun Chen was dumbfounded, then gritted his teeth and said, "It was the day Jiang Ruyi died. No wonder she was holding on until her death! It turns out she wanted to drag me into hell!"
"Jiang Qingning, did you really believe her lies? She bullied you for a whole year for no reason, bullying you because you had no parents to protect you!"
Jiang Qingning found it funny that Xun Chen actually knew about this, but as a husband, he never fulfilled his duties.
"What else did she say to you?" Xun Chen thought of something and felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave.
If Jiang Qingning knew... if she knew about him... then the only way out would be to die together.
"Your life is too worthless. I know nothing else. What's the matter? You have other handles that fall into Jiang Ruyi's hands, Xun Chen, you really deserve it."
Jiang Qingning sneered, "You framed my father and brother back then, planting false evidence in their study and causing our family to be separated for over eight years."
"Xun Chen, not only will I take your five thousand taels, I will also make your entire Anping Marquis's Mansion pay the price!"
After he finished speaking, Jiang Qingning turned and left without even a glance at Xun Chen, who looked tense but relieved in his heart.
Xun Chen is now being courted by everyone in the officialdom, and Jiang Ran hasn't received such a cold shoulder for a while. He took a few steps forward and raised his hand to grab Jiang Qingning's shoulder, but the person in front of him noticed it sharply and dodged.
Xun Chen's brows tightened as he looked at her light and agile body. The next moment he reached out to grab her shoulder.
Jiang Qingning glanced sideways, his eyes sharp: "Looking for death!"
Almost in an instant, a black dress flashed by, and Jiang Qingning kicked behind him. Xun Chen's lower abdomen tightened and he quickly dodged.
The next moment, Jiang Qingning had already flashed to his side, raised his hand and tightly grasped his shoulders, suddenly grabbed him and lifted him up, and with a few punches, he knocked Xun Chen pale, and when he was thrown to the ground, he suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood.
Xun Chen curled up on the ground dizzy, the pain of broken bones spreading from his lower abdomen to his limbs.
"Lord Anping, are you angry and want to silence me?" Jiang Qingning stood in front of him with a half-smile on his face.
Xun Chen paused for a long time, then raised his head with difficulty and looked at the person who was looking down at him.
"When exactly did you learn martial arts?"
Jiang Qingning's moves seemed simple, but they beat him, who had practiced martial arts and fitness for many years, to the point where he vomited blood and couldn't get up. This kind of attack was definitely not something that ordinary people could achieve...
