Chapter 248: Cut her wrists
"What?"
Ling Qi's gaze was cold and heartbreaking. "Xu Chunxue, the doctor said the poison has penetrated deep into her lungs. Although she has woken up now, the remaining poison has not yet dissipated. She will live in dire straits every day from now on."
"Only your blood can serve as the detoxifying medicine."
He spoke each word slowly, enunciating each one, yet it sent a chill down Xu Chunxue's spine.
Her heart completely chilled, her pupils trembling, staring straight at him, her whole body as if struck by lightning, she said in disbelief: "You...you want to cut my flesh and let my blood?"
"For that Yanran?"
Her voice was extremely hoarse.
His already pale face was now completely bloodless.
Ling Qi thought, her voice is really heartbreaking.
Sadness was evident inside and out, as if as soon as he heard it, he would follow her and become depressed along with her, and his sick and uncomfortable heart would be tightly twisted into a ball.
But it was clearly her fault!
It was her fault!
She was the one who did something wrong. She was so vicious and unreasonable, and so stubborn about taking people's lives. How could she pretend to be like this now and pretend to be innocent?
The sadder and more heartbroken she was, the angrier Ling Qi became.
"That's enough, Xu Chunxue!"
"When you do something wrong, you have to pay the price!"
"I'm atoning for your sins!"
"You're the one who harmed Yanran, yet you refuse to admit it. You're even secretly jealous of her, and you've insulted her so much with your words. I've never seen a woman as vicious as you."
"Even Jiang Rou is not as good as you!"
In the past, Jiang Rou was in charge of the entire Duke's Mansion.
Jiang Rou always pretends to be gentle and virtuous, but she does all kinds of evil things. Both Ling Qi and Xu Chunxue have been tortured by her with subtle means.
What he hated most in his life was such a two-faced woman.
Now I never thought that Xu Chunxue, who had always supported me and stood by me through thick and thin since we met when we were young, and who had always been smart and intelligent, would become as hateful, hypocritical and disgusting as Jiang Rou.
"Xu Chunxue, you know better than me what happened to Jiang Rou. I'm saving you now."
"If Yanran is killed by you using such petty means, she will definitely be filled with resentment in the future. When she turns into a man-eating ghost, do you think I should hand you over to her to vent her anger?"
Ling Qi raised his hand. It was obvious that Xu Chunxue was tied up without any dignity at this moment, and she had no strength to resist, but he still had someone hold her down tightly.
Xu Chunxue trembled and struggled hard, shouting almost hysterically: "I didn't poison her!"
"It wasn't me, it wasn't me!"
"How many times do you want me to say it?"
Ling Qi has changed his heart now. He is so blind and deaf that he even compares her to Jiang Rou even though he knows that she has been bullied by Jiang Rou, saying that she is more hypocritical and vicious than Jiang Rou.
How could he be so cruel!
"Let me go, Ling Ran!"
"I didn't do anything like that!"
"I don't!"
Xu Chunxue struggled hard, and one of the maids reached out and slapped her viciously in the face, "Bah! Behave!"
The old woman spat, and looked at Xu Chunxue with eyes filled with disgust. "It's already this late, why are you still struggling here?"
"If you hadn't done such a vicious thing, would the prince have wronged you?"
"What a jerk! It's not even presentable!"
Hearing a woman insulting Xu Chunxue like that, Ling Qi frowned, but in the end he said nothing and continued to let the woman treat her like that.
Xu Chunxue was pressed to the ground by them without any dignity, like a lamb to be slaughtered. He tried to fight against fate, but it was in vain.
Xu Chunxue's face was covered in tears, her voice hoarse. She stared straight at Ling Qi, her throat dry to the point of cracking. "Ling Qi, if one day you find out that you've wronged me, how will you face me afterwards?"
"Ling Qi, you believe her so much, so sure that I'm the kind of vicious woman who will do anything to achieve her goals. If the truth comes out one day..."
Xu Chunxue bit the words "the truth is revealed" tightly.
She just stared at him without blinking, wishing she could dig out this man's heart to see what it was made of and how he could be so cruel.
"If the truth comes out, even if you, Ling Qi, beg me on your knees, I will never turn back!"
Xu Chunxue gritted her teeth and yelled these words almost hysterically.
Ling Qi's pupils trembled violently, and an inexplicable feeling of suffocation surged in his heart. The sentence "If the truth comes out" was like a heavy hammer, hitting his heart heavily.
He suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in his heart, an indescribable feeling that something was about to get out of his control, corroding him.
But the next moment, Ling Qi frowned hard and returned to his cold and ruthless expression.
He stared at Xu Chunxue coldly.
"You're still trying to argue even now. I must have misjudged you."
"I was truly blind to have fallen for vicious and vulgar women like you. Xu Chunxue, this is atonement, and it's not up to you!"
"No matter how much you try to sophistry, it's useless. You should pay the price for your wrongdoings!"
As he spoke, he took the dagger from the old woman's hand with an expressionless face and placed the porcelain bowl under her wrist with an expressionless face.
He held her hand tightly.
It was obvious that Xu Chunxue's hand was so thin that it would break suddenly if he bent it hard, but he didn't care at all, not even caring whether it would hurt him. The sharp tip of the knife was pressed against her wrist.
Xu Chunxue struggled hard, and during the argument, her wrist was accidentally cut by the knife, leaving a small cut, and fine beads of blood oozed out.
Xu Chunxue's pupils trembled. The bright red color was so glaring at that moment.
Ling Qi used all his strength to grab her hand.
He was even a little tired and said impatiently: "Stop it!"
"It's just a bowl of blood, it won't kill anyone!"
"You know fear and pain now, but why didn't you think about the consequences when you poisoned me?"
