Chapter 341: You are just a substitute
"Bitch! Don't you see who you are? How dare you touch my man? You really need a man to love you, right? I'll grant you that!"
A sinister smile appeared on Shao Rong's pretty face. She glanced at the big men and said, "Go ahead and kill her."
Lu Qin's body was shaking, but her hands, which were tied behind her back, were still working tirelessly to untie the knots on her feet.
She absolutely cannot die here in such humiliation!
Absolutely not!
Fortunately, she used to be a fisherman's daughter. She went to sea with her father and mother and learned many ways to tie and untie ropes.
The way she was tied up today was one of those types of things. She quickly untied them, kicked away one of the big men who had approached her, and untied the rope on her hands.
Shao Rong frowned, her expression becoming increasingly sinister. "You are indeed a lowly slave who is not worthy of being on the stage. You have only learned some low-class things. You can actually untie a rope like this."
"What are you guys standing there for? Come on!"
"If she doesn't die here today, then you will be the ones to die!"
Several big men laughed and approached Lu Qin with ferocious faces, "Young lady, please don't blame us."
"We are also following orders."
Lu Qin had been going to sea with her parents since she was young, and had been doing manual labor since she was young. Although she had been pampered in the Xu family for a few months, she could not abandon her former self so quickly.
She was very strong, so she wasn't easily caught by them.
But she was no match for these five big men.
Shao Rong looked at her with interest.
He looked down upon her dying struggle and her stubborn resistance with contempt.
"Have you ever seen an ant being stepped on by an embroidered shoe? Those ants were just like you in their lives, struggling in their last moments, hoping to survive."
"What a pity, he couldn't escape the fate of being crushed to death."
Her voice was clear and melodious, like a distant ballad.
She was beautiful, but the words she said at this moment were like a sharp sword dipped in poison, piercing Lu Qin's heart.
Lu Qin felt a tightness in her chest, a heavy depression enveloping her. She suddenly raised her eyes and stared intently at Shao Rong, a woman who looked 50% like her. Her questioning words seemed to turn into sharp blades, "We are both women, why are you so vicious!"
Shao Rong sneered, a deep and intense disgust emanating from her brows, like the plum rain that never dries up in the spring. "Are they all women?"
"I am Miss Shao, the concubine of the King of Wei. I have lived a life of luxury since childhood. The hairpin on my head can buy the lives of your entire family. You are just a fisherman's daughter. How dare you say that we are women?"
"How dare you treat yourself like a human being in front of me? You're such a lowly thing, you're even worse than an ant that got crushed to death by my embroidered shoes!"
Lu Qin actually said naively that we are all women.
It's funny. How can Lu Qin be considered a human being in front of me?
They are clearly ants and slaves!
They are beasts that can be beaten and killed at will!
There was a strong fire burning in Lu Qin's eyes. At that moment, she didn't know where she got the strength from. She kicked these people away, rushed forward, grabbed Shao Rong's collar, slapped her twice, and then strangled her neck.
Seeing these people trying to come over and pull her away, she suddenly pulled out the hairpin on Shao Rong's head and pressed it against her eyes.
"Don't come over here!"
Lu Qin's eyes were bloodshot, and she shouted hoarsely, "If you come any closer, I'll blind your eldest daughter's eyes!"
"Isn't she going to be the Prince of Wei's concubine?"
"I want to see if a blind and disfigured woman can still enter the backyard of Prince Wei's mansion!"
She held the hairpin tightly.
She actually didn't have enough strength to stab Shao Rong to death with the hairpin that was not sharp enough.
But as long as we can ensure that Shao Rong's eyes can be blinded and her face can be destroyed, that's enough.
A young lady like Shao Rong who doesn't take human life seriously will only feel truly afraid when her own interests are violated and the life of luxury she relies on will one day be shattered.
Shao Rong's malicious and sinister expression froze on her face for a moment.
The hairpin that could blind her eyes and ruin her face at any time was right in front of her. If she dared to move even the slightest, her life would be ruined by this hairpin.
Hatred instantly burst out from her eyes like a substance. Shao Rong wanted to tear Lu Qin into pieces. "Bitch!"
"Let me go now!"
"How dare you!"
"How dare you!"
"If you dare to touch me, your cousin will kill you!"
When Xu Zhou was mentioned, Shao Rong seemed to gain some confidence in an instant. She looked at her with a smile, but her tone was full of malice, "You don't know yet, do you?"
"Back then, my cousin was able to pick you up and bring you back home, to take you in as his concubine, simply because you, this lowly servant, bore some resemblance to me!"
"My cousin couldn't marry me, so he had to settle for second best. He just kept you by his side, treating you like a toy. Do you really think you're a big shot?!"
Shao Rong smiled, her eyes becoming increasingly crazy as she continued to provoke Lu Qin, "To your cousin, you're nothing more than a kitten or puppy. When your cousin is happy, he'll tease you, and when he's unhappy, he'll kick you away."
"You're not much more noble than those foot-warming maids. He uses you to vent his anger when he needs you. To him, you're just a tool to warm his bed."
"My cousin is the moon hanging high in the sky, and you are just a candle that can be discarded at will!"
What’s hateful is that this candlelight is so shameless that it seduces her cousin every day.
"Even if I destroy you and turn you into a piece of rotten shit, I won't be angry with you. If you dare to touch me, I'll skin you alive!"
When Lu Qin heard this, her heart felt like it was cut open with a long gash, and blood gushed out in an instant.
But her hands did not tremble. Instead, she gripped the hairpin even tighter.
"Yeah?"
Her voice was too calm, and her heart, which had been floating, seemed to suddenly fall to the ground. She pulled the corner of her mouth expressionlessly.
He said coldly, "I guessed it a long time ago."
No wonder Xu Zhou was so nice to her for no apparent reason.
While Lu Qin was filled with gratitude to him, she was also in constant fear, fearing that one day Xu Zhou would completely get tired of her and abandon her.
And she couldn't find the reason even until her death.
Now she understood.
It turns out that everyone gets what they need from the beginning to the end.
Because of this face, she received special care from Xu Zhou.
Because of her face, Xu Zhou received admiration and dependence from her that he could not get from her cousin.
He vented all that was hidden in his heart, and all that Shao Rong wanted to do but didn't dare to do, on her.
Shao Rong's words were extremely harsh and unpleasant, but they were the truth.
Lu Qin finally understood why Xu Zhou had been holding her close to him one night.
But after waking up, his face was as cold as ice and he said nothing. He put on his clothes and left.
It turned out that after he woke up, he realized that the person who was with him last night was not the cousin he worshipped in his heart.
But it was her candle.
Lu Qin had no expression on her face.
"I know everything you said, and then what?"
Lu Qin's eyes suddenly widened. "How can you be so shameless! Since you already know that your cousin only sees you as a substitute, you should just get out of here."
"If you dare to continue to shamelessly pester my cousin, I will kill you!"
Hearing the young lady's words that showed she didn't care about human life, Lu Qin frowned, but lowered her head and sneered twice.
"You want me to leave? That's easy."
"As long as you return to him and stop trying to climb up the social ladder, he will continue to happily obey your orders. Miss Shao, you can't let go of wealth and glory, you want to climb up the social ladder, and you also want to hold on to your cousin tightly."
Having said that, Lu Qin laughed sarcastically twice.
"Your cousin is willing to indulge you, but aren't you afraid of your secrets being exposed? If the King of Wei finds out, I'm afraid not only you, but your entire Shao family won't be able to withstand his wrath!"
The Xu family is just doing business.
The family has no power or influence, but it has a lot of money.
Lu Qin could understand to a large extent what Shao Rong wanted to do.
He also knew why his appearance made Shao Rong feel so threatened.
Apart from the fact that Shao Rong is naturally domineering.
One more thing.
"You're not willing to let go of your cousin, your cash cow."
