"Why you?" Zhao Shu threw the mask into the tree hole and walked towards Zhao Wanyue, who was tied to a branch.
In fact, Zhao Wanyue was extremely rare. Back in Guanzhou, to avoid trouble, she never associated with the members of the Guanzhou royal family.
Zhao Wanyue had only met the Empress Dowager a few times when the children of the imperial clan paid their respects to her. They were not close friends. It was just that when the Empress Dowager bowed to her, she politely and distantly told her not to be so formal.
After the head of the Zhao family clan revoked the power of managing the household affairs of his first wife, Zhong, the Empress Dowager did not interfere, and Zhao Shu also pretended not to see it. The concubine, Xiao Zhong, has been fulfilling the duties of the clan's wife for many years. It is said that Zhong's favorite granddaughter, Zhao Wanyue, often confronts Aunt Bai and has protected Zhong several times.
This woman is cunning.
Zhao Wanyue looked at Zhao Shu with a smile, "Why do you ask such a question when you already know the answer? Do you know why it's me?"
After she finished speaking, her gaze fell on Wei Tingsi, and she gave a self-deprecating smile, "If our roles were reversed, I think I would have done better than you, Sister Ajun."
It seems that everyone has said this, that if they were her, they would definitely do better.
"Unfortunately, even if you scheme and sell your soul, you are not me. What do you care about whether I do well or not? To put it bluntly, you are just greedy. As a member of the royal family, you should have a bright future, but you choose to get involved in this mess."
Zhao Shu felt that she had become increasingly soft-hearted lately, thinking that this would guide others to repent and start anew. In fact, she was also a sinner who killed without blinking an eye at will, and in the eyes of some people, she needed to repent and start anew.
There's a saying that goes, "Those who commit heinous acts still want to maintain a virtuous image."
However, it is easier for people to accept a person who has a moral high ground than one who does not. So, whether it is hypocritical or despicable, as long as you are good and the people you care about are good, why care so much?
"Haha." She laughed twice, tilted her head back, and a tear slid down her cheek. "Sister A-Jun, you're so aloof from the world. You and the Empress Dowager tacitly allow Aunt Bai to cause trouble in the mansion. Do you know how my grandmother and I have been these past few years? I've become like this because of you. Why doesn't Heaven... Ah!"
Before she could finish speaking, she screamed in pain. Zhao Shu squinted at her thigh, which had been struck by tree bark and was bleeding bright red blood.
She was very principled. After screaming, she didn't beg for mercy. Instead, she glared fiercely at Zhao Shu and said, "Why didn't God punish you! You wanton woman, you devil! You killed Hao Guojiu and Guofu, and that wasn't enough. You even imprisoned your own aunt in the dungeon and tortured her. How could your heart be so black!"
A wanton woman? Zhao Shu chuckled. She was stargazing here with Wei Tingsi at night, so she was a wanton woman?
A demon? Indeed, she revered a power, the power of fear.
She didn't speak, and Wei Tingsi assumed she was furious. He reached out and plucked a handful of dry tree bark, scattering it everywhere. The bark pierced Zhao Wanyue's body, instantly turning her body into crimson blood, like plum blossoms in bloom. The blood stained her purple clothes, making the purple even deeper.
Zhao Wanyue winced in pain, biting her lip tightly, stubbornly refusing to cry out. She stared at Zhao Shu like a venomous snake, and when she could no longer bear it, she grinned, her mouth overflowing with blood.
Zhao Shu reached out to stop Wei Tingsi, indicating that he was not angry, and said slowly, "It was Zhao Zisheng who put Aunt Bai in charge of the household, not me and my grandmother. What you said today makes me suspicious of Aunt Bai. After all, most of the families in the world that oppose me have a woman with the surname Zhong."
"Go against you?" Zhao Wanyue glanced at Zhao Shu with a mocking look. "Who do you think you are?"
Zhao Shu suddenly realized that it made sense. She was just an insignificant royal princess, very ordinary. So as long as she didn't go to Jiangnan, some people wouldn't risk everything to kill her.
is that so?
"Just now you envied my status and what I had, but now you look down on me. No wonder someone like you can only be cannon fodder." As he spoke, he walked up to Zhao Wanyue, reached out and pinched her chin. "Tell me, what is the Eight-Hydrangea Flower? Why did you want to kill me!"
"Hmph, so you've finally learned your lesson. I thought you were omnipotent," she said coldly. "Kill me then, I won't tell!"
Zhao Shu released her chin, wiped her blood-stained fingers on her body, and said, "Fine, as you wish."
Zhao Wanyue was taken aback. Based on her research on Zhao Shu's personality, she would not kill someone so easily. She believed in torturing people rather than taking their lives easily.
Indeed, her research on Zhao Shu was quite accurate. Under normal circumstances, Zhao Shu would not kill people casually; she preferred to slowly torture her opponents and strike them from the heart.
But this time she was wrong. Zhao Shu had been losing patience lately and wanted to kill those who wanted to harm her. Killing one less person would save her trouble.
"Kill them. They won't cherish a good life." Zhao Shu doesn't mind if others are scheming, but she doesn't even want to associate with those who are as innocent as snow.
She admired shrewd and strategic people, but Zhao Wanyue disappointed her greatly.
Seeing that Zhao Shuzhen was really going to kill her, Zhao Wanyue panicked. She shouted, "Don't you want to know who the owner of the Hydrangea Flower is? If you kill me, you will never know!"
Zhao Shu looked at her again, "Why should I know who the owner of the hydrangea is? Whoever tries to harm me, I will kill them. I believe I will kill her one day."
"Before you kill her, you'll live in constant fear. She'll eventually find a chance to kill you!" Zhao Wanyue wasn't stupid, and she certainly didn't want to die.
She could have escaped, but was captured by Wei Tingsi's men while fleeing Tianjin and brought here. If she had known that Wei Tingsi had also gone to Tianjin, she would never have gone with him, even if it meant death.
"Where there are people, there is conflict. Every day, many people die for various reasons, and many sworn brothers break off their friendships and fight to the death for various reasons. I cannot stop others from having malicious intentions towards me, nor am I afraid of others having malicious intentions towards me. Therefore, for me, there is no need to worry or fear danger. If she dares to come, I will definitely torture her to death bit by bit. You only know that Hao Guojiu and his son died at my hands, but you certainly do not know how they died. So you dare to provoke me!"
