Is there some misunderstanding in Chapter 587? (Revised)
Looking at the nearly deranged Xiao Yuanshan in front of him, Li Rong was so angry that he laughed: "Xiao Yuanshan, what makes you feel wronged? What right do you have to say that we betrayed you? Have you no shame? My sister traveled thousands of miles to seek help for you when she was pregnant, and how did you treat her?"
"You're talking nonsense! You dare mention that child? That bitch, she..." Xiao Yuanshan's eyes flashed with a hint of ferocity, filled with intense resentment and hatred.
"Shut up!" With a whoosh, Li Rong interrupted Xiao Yuanshan angrily, grabbed a cup of hot tea from the table, and threw it at Xiao Yuanshan.
Li Rong's bloodshot eyes and trembling fingers said, "You treacherous scoundrel, how dare you call her that?"
"Fine, fine, fine!" Even though Xiao Yuanshan dodged, he still got splashed with hot tea. A gloomy aura almost enveloped his entire body, and his scarlet eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"Wait." Jiang Nuanzhi frowned slightly, looking at the two men who were furious. A hint of confusion crossed her face. "Is there some misunderstanding? After all, sometimes what you see is deceiving, let alone what you hear. Your Highness feels the Li family has betrayed you, but my Li family feels Your Highness has broken your promise. Why don't we sit down and talk about what happened back then?"
The book she was reading had a storyline centered on Xie Liangchen and the fake princess, with little focus on Li Rong and Xiao Yuanshan. It also didn't mention Li Sheng's past.
She always felt that some things hadn't yet connected.
As soon as Jiang Nuanzhi finished speaking, the surrounding air became quiet.
Xiao Yuanshan and Li Rong remained locked in a standoff, neither showing any intention of backing down.
Just as Jiang Nuanzhi was pondering how to get Xiao Yuanshan to talk about what happened back then, she suddenly heard a woman's voice coming from the doorway: "Arong, you've gone too far."
Li Mingyu hadn't even had time to comb her hair, and she wasn't wearing a single hairpin. At this moment, she was pushed by the maid behind her and hurriedly entered the hall.
She went up to Xiao Yuanshan and immediately grabbed his robe: "Your Highness, please don't be angry, it will break my heart."
After saying that, she looked at Li Rong across from her with a disapproving expression.
"Arong, how could you disobey the Prince like this? Quickly apologize to the Prince. He is your brother-in-law and has been lenient with you to some extent. You must not be arrogant and lose your sense of propriety."
"Who do you think you are, trying to make decisions for me?" Li Rong was stunned for a moment when he saw Li Mingyu, and then said in a cold voice, "Who exactly lost their temper? How did my sister treat you? Is this how you repay her? Brother-in-law, does he even deserve to be called that?"
"Li Rong! How dare you be so insolent! Over the years, Mingyu has worried herself sick over you! If it weren't for her pleading for you time and time again, do you think you would still be alive today? Is this how you treat your elder sister?" Xiao Yuanshan shouted sternly.
"Ha!" A vein throbbed on Li Rong's forehead. "Adulterers and adulteresses, they're disgusting. I'm so glad my sister left this repulsive place back then."
"Li Rong, do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you!" Xiao Yuanshan's lips curled into a cruel smile, and the next second he heard Li Mingyu sobbing beside him.
"Arong, so you still resent me?" Li Mingyu said, her voice trembling with tears. "It's all my fault. I couldn't save my sister back then. I deserve to die."
Li Mingyu picked up a hairpin and held it against her neck: "In that case, I'll have to go and keep her company."
The next second, Xiao Yuanshan's pupils contracted sharply, and with a slight exertion, he broke the hairpin in Li Mingyu's hand: "Mingyu!"
Li Mingyu, however, hadn't given up. She gritted her teeth and charged towards the pillar beside her, as if determined to crash into it and die.
However, her legs were weak. Any exertion would cause her to fall out of her wheelchair, and then, distraught, she would pound her legs desperately: "It's my incompetence! It's my uselessness! I'm a cripple, a burden to the Prince, unable to die even if I wanted to. It's only right that A-Rong blames me."
As he spoke, he began to hit his own leg hard.
A hint of pity flickered in Xiao Yuanshan's eyes as he took the man's hand in his: "You did nothing wrong! Anyone who dares to say you're wrong, I'll kill them."
This was clearly meant for Li Rong's ears.
Li Rong's fingers were trembling, and his eyes were red as he stared intently at Xiao Yuanshan.
Seeing the two of them on the verge of exchanging blows again, Jiang Nuanzhi let out a long sigh. It seemed impossible to get them to sit down and continue discussing what had happened before.
His gaze unconsciously fell on Li Mingyu, only to find that her fist, which had been clenched tightly since she entered the room, was now loosening.
Although she was still crying, there was a hint of composure in her eyes.
So, was it a coincidence that she came in at that time? Or was it intentional?
Jiang Nuanzhi's eyes swept over Li Mingyu with a probing look, but she stopped worrying and stepped forward, saying, "Stop hitting her, Your Highness. The Princess's body can't take this kind of stimulation."
Then, glancing at Li Rong beside him, whose eyes were red and swollen, he said, "Arong, the generals are also struggling to hold on. We don't have much time left."
Li Rong finally sheathed his spear and nodded to Jiang Nuanzhi.
Jiang Nuan stepped forward and looked directly at Xiao Yuanshan, saying, "Your Highness, if you want the Tiger Tally, it's definitely not enough to exchange it with just these few people."
Actually, Your Highness, to tell you the truth, Uncle Yong was lucid for a moment just now. He actually felt that death would be a relief. After all, Your Highness should know best what kind of people you have tortured.
Now that you've actually killed them all, it's not entirely a bad thing for us. After all, they were all prepared to die. You should know the Li family army better than I do.”
Xiao Yuanshan helped Li Mingyu sit back down, then squinted at Jiang Nuanzhi: "Jiang Nuanzhi, don't try to deceive me. No matter how cunning you are, you still can't change the fact that all these people are in my hands."
As long as the Gu worms are not eliminated, you will all be under my control.
"You are welcome to try. If you truly don't care about these people's lives, I won't spare them for you."
As he spoke, he clenched his fist, and Qin Lin and the others opposite him instantly curled up and twisted in pain.
"Your Highness, why won't you let me finish what I have to say?"
Jiang Nuanzhi glanced back and sighed, "How could I not care? It's just that your decision gave them a quick death. In fact, these were once A Rong's brothers who risked their lives for him, and they are the people we admire most. No matter what, we will never give up on rescuing them. Even if it's their corpses, we will bring them back. There is no doubt about that, Your Highness can rest assured."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuanshan was momentarily stunned, looking at Jiang Nuanzhi with surprise. Did this woman even know how to negotiate? It was the first time he'd ever seen her bring up something so important to him.
He looked at Li Rong with amusement: "Are you really going to let this woman stand up for you? Li Rong, you're really becoming more and more of a spineless coward!"
