Song Jiao paused deliberately, as if thinking about how to give Li Yexiao a more fatal blow.
She knew that killing someone and destroying their heart was the most effective method.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Li Yexiao's face suddenly became gloomy, as if a storm was about to come.
"Chen Yuhuan! Isn't it you who caused me to become what I am now?" Li Yexiao roared, his voice filled with anger and resentment. "If you have any sense, you can change the courtyard for Yu Li and me! If you don't agree, I will never forgive you in my life!!"
His voice echoed in the air, as if pouring out all his resentment.
Song Jiao looked at the extremely angry Li Yexiao in front of her, but there was no ripple in her heart.
She smiled faintly, and that smile revealed a kind of disdain and ridicule, as if she was watching a clown's clumsy performance.
"Li Yexiao, what qualifications do you have to negotiate with me?" Her voice was cold and clear, like a sharp sword, pointing directly at Li Yexiao's heart. "You are nothing but a dog of my Shen family. I, Shen Yuhuan, can make you live or die if I want you to! What qualifications do you have to yell at me here?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Yexiao's face turned pale.
He looked at Song Jiao in disbelief, as if he was meeting this once gentle woman for the first time.
There was a coldness and determination in her eyes that made him shudder involuntarily.
"You...how can you say that?" Li Yexiao's voice was trembling, as if he would burst into tears at any time.
Even if he was wrong, they were once husband and wife. Why could she be so heartless?
"Why can't I say it?" Song Jiao asked coldly, "Do you think you can get away with it after doing all that? Li Yexiao, let me tell you, nothing comes easy in this world! If you want something, you have to pay the price!"
Her words woke Li Yexiao up from his dream.
He finally understood that everything he once had was so illusory and fragile.
Li Yexiao even thought that Song Jiao took them back to allow them to return to the Shen family.
"Chen Yuhuan, I beg you, give Yuli and me a way out!" Li Yexiao suddenly knelt in front of Song Jiao, begging with tears in his eyes, "I know I was wrong, I shouldn't have treated you like that. But Yuli is innocent, and the child in her belly is also innocent! I beg you, give us a chance to reform!"
However, Song Jiao just looked at him coldly, without any emotion. "Li Yexiao, if you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? Do you think I only found out about what you and Shen Yuli did recently? Do you really think I, Shen Yuhuan, am a fool?" Her voice revealed a bone-chilling chill that made Li Yexiao shiver involuntarily.
"You...you knew it a long time ago?" Li Yexiao looked at Song Jiao in disbelief.
He originally thought that she had just found out and was unable to bear the stimulation, but he didn't expect that.
"Does it matter when we find out? It's not impossible for you to stay," Song Jiao paused before continuing, "But you have to do one thing for me. After that, I can let you stay in the Shen family and even enjoy the same treatment as before."
There was a sly glint in her eyes, as if she had come up with a brilliant idea.
Li Yexiao was delighted when he heard this and quickly asked, "What is it? As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it!"
He now just wanted to grab a life-saving straw to save his own and Shen Yuli's fate.
However, he didn't know that what was waiting for him was an even deeper abyss...
Song Jiao looked at Li Yexiao's anxious and frightened expression, and couldn't help but feel an inexplicable pleasure in her heart.
She knew that this was a fatal temptation for Li Yexiao.
Now they really have nothing. Without the protection of the Shen family, they would definitely be beaten to death by those people if they left the Shen family.
This is something she could think of, so there is no way Li Yexiao wouldn't understand it.
"What I want you to do is very simple." Song Jiao spoke slowly, each word seemed to be taken out of an ice cellar, so cold that it made people tremble. "I want you to abort the child in Shen Yuli's belly with your own hands."
Li Yexiao was struck by lightning when he heard this. He froze in place and looked at Song Jiao in disbelief. "You...what did you say?" His voice was trembling, as if he would collapse at any time.
"Hasn't what I said been clear enough?" Song Jiao repeated coldly, "I want you to abort the baby in Shen Yuli's belly with your own hands. Only then will I consider giving you a way out."
Li Yexiao felt as if all the blood in his body had frozen, and an unprecedented fear and despair surged in his heart.
He knew that Song Jiao could do what she said, and if she really wanted their lives, they would have no way of resisting.
However, asking him to abort his own child with his own hands would be even more painful than killing him.
"No... I can't do it..." Li Yexiao shook his head, tears streaming down his cheeks, "That's my child, how could I kill him with my own hands?"
He is now a eunuch and will never have children in the future, never.
He really didn't want to be without even his last offspring.
"Can't do it?" Song Jiao sneered, "Then wait to die with Shen Yuli! I, Shen Yuhuan, never support idlers, let alone ungrateful white-eyed wolves like you! Don't forget what you did before. Many people are waiting for you to leave the Shen Mansion! As long as I spread the word, do you think you and Shen Yuli can still survive?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Yexiao felt dizzy. He knew that he had no way out.
If he didn't want to die, if he didn't want Shen Yuli to die, he could only do what Song Jiao said.
But could he really do it? Could he really kill his own child with his own hands?
Li Yexiao didn't know how he got back to that dilapidated courtyard.
He only felt that his footsteps were extremely heavy, and every step seemed to exhaust all his strength. His heart felt as if it was torn apart and was in unbearable pain. That was his child, his unborn child. Did he really want to strangle him with his own hands?
However, reality did not allow him to think much.
He knew that Song Jiao's patience was limited. If he could not complete the task within the specified time, then death would be the only outcome for him and Shen Yuli.
But how could he tell Shen Yuli? How could he tell her that he was going to kill their child with his own hands?
He knew that this was their only way to survive.
He could only pray that Shen Yuli could understand his difficulties and forgive his helpless actions...
