Chapter 156 Be good and don’t make me angry, okay?
"Why?" Before Shen Yuan fainted, there was only this question in her eyes as she looked at her father.
Two days later, Gu Huailing walked out of the darkroom. His cloak was covered in blood, and he looked frosty and pale.
He rubbed his swollen brows and interrogated for several days but could not find out anything.
No, there must be something wrong.
But Gu Huailing couldn't figure out what was wrong at the moment.
Gu Huailing couldn't help but quicken his pace as he hadn't seen Chen Yuan for a few days.
There was no sign of Shen Yuan in the room, so Gu Huailing asked in a deep voice, "Where is the Madam?"
Taozi hurried in from outside, "Madam's mother is ill and she has returned to Qingshi Lane to take care of her for a few days. She asked me to wait for you in the mansion and tell you when you come back. Madam told you not to worry and that she would return when your mother's condition improves."
Taozi bowed to Gu Huailing and said, "Since my lord has returned, I will return to Qingshi Lane to take care of my lady."
Gu Huailing has completely calmed down in the past few days, and a sense of self-blame can't help but surge in his heart.
"Take the judge with you and tell Madam I'll be there shortly."
Gu Huailing quickly showered and changed his clothes before heading towards the bluestone alley.
He was sitting in the carriage when he was startled by the footsteps outside. He lifted the curtain and saw Taozi running out of breath.
Gu Huailing suddenly shuddered and asked in a deep voice, "Taozi, why are you running?"
Taozi looked panicked, "Sir, the girl and the master and his wife are missing."
Gu Huailing's expression changed and he immediately got off the carriage. "Tell me clearly, what do you mean by missing?"
Inside the Shen residence, Gu Huailing stood there with a frosty expression. There was no sign of a fight inside or outside the house.
Sanjiu came over with a handful of incense ash, his face serious, "Sir, look, there's aphrodisiac incense mixed in this incense ash."
The thought that had been looming in Gu Huailing's mind finally became clear.
The person who made the move that night was Shen's father.
And Shen's father should be Yan Xi's man.
Gu Huailing's face looked terribly bad.
When his head was about to split open with pain, Shen Yuan slowly opened his eyes.
She seemed to be in a sealed room. It was very dark inside and she couldn't see anything around her clearly.
The door creaked open, and a ray of light came in quietly and silently.
Yan Xi walked in from outside, accompanied by Shen's father.
Shen Yuan looked at the two of them warily. She shifted her gaze to Shen's father's face and asked, "Father, why?"
Father Shen stepped forward and knelt down in front of Shen Yuan. "You are our Saint of Xichu. I am not worthy of being called your father."
Chen Yuan's face suddenly turned pale. She found that she seemed to have been living in a huge lie for so many years.
"But my mother said that I am her biological daughter."
"She doesn't know that I switched my wife's children in order to preserve the lineage of Saint Xi Chu."
Chen Yuan looked at the two of them in disbelief, shaking her head and backing away, "So mother doesn't know about all this?"
“She has no right to know.” Father Shen said with disdain.
Lies were like a huge net that wrapped Shen Yuan up.
She was practically suffocating.
Two lifetimes! He actually told her that everything she had was fake.
Her obsession and everything she did turned out to be a joke!
That's ridiculous.
Chen Yuan couldn't help but tremble. She squatted on the ground uncontrollably, holding her head and curled up.
A trace of pity flashed across Father Shen's eyes. Just as he was about to step forward, he was stopped by Yan Xi, "Step back."
Father Shen bowed his head and retreated respectfully.
Yan Xi looked at Shen Yuan with compassion. After a while, he slowly squatted down until he was at eye level with Shen Yuan.
He gently stroked Shen Yuan's face with his hand, "Little Yuan'er, everything in this world is fake, only I, only I am real to you."
“Don’t touch me!!!”
Shen Yuan let out a shrill roar.
She raised her eyes, bloodshot and filled with hatred, "All this is because of you, Yan Xi, I wish you had died back then!"
Every word she spoke was heartbreaking. "I'd rather miss you forever than see you like this."
Yan Xi's face changed drastically.
There was pain and unwillingness in his eyes, but no regret.
"Little Yuan'er, I understand that it's hard for you to accept this for now, but I'll wait until I overthrow the Jin Dynasty, destroy everything, and crown you the one and only queen."
At this point, his tone suddenly softened, like a venomous snake spitting out its core, "A Yuan will know that everything I did was not wrong."
"I can give you supreme power and honor, but Gu Huailing can't give you anything. If Gu Yao dies, can you guys recover as before?"
Shen Yuan glared at him coldly, "If you dare to kill Gu Yao, I will kill you with my own life."
Yan Xi looked at him, a sigh flashing in his eyes, "Xiao Yuan'er, why are you still so naive? Your life can only be exchanged for one person."
He pinched her jaw, forcing her to look him in the eye. "But, Xiao Yuan'er, you're too soft-hearted and care about too many people. How many lives can you save?"
He leaned close to her earlobe, his lips brushing her cheek, "Little Yuan'er, if you dare to commit suicide, I will kill all those you care about without a single one remaining."
"You, shameless!"
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth and spoke word by word.
Yan Xi laughed crazily, "I'm shameless? Hate me, little Yuan'er. Hating me makes me feel more excited than not having me in your eyes."
"Madman!" Shen Yuan turned away and stopped looking at him.
He pinched her jaw with one hand and slid his other hand along her neck, slowly sliding it to her lower abdomen. "There's one more thing, Little Yuan'er. I'm extremely disgusted with this evil creature. His existence makes me feel sick. What do you think we should do?"
Chen Yuan's eyes were filled with hatred. She turned around and bit Yan Xi's palm fiercely.
Shen Yuan did not let go until his mouth was full of the smell of blood.
The moment Shen Yuan bit Yan Xi, a hint of enjoyment inexplicably appeared on his face.
His expression began to brighten, with a smile on his face.
The smell of blood filled her mouth. Chen Yuan couldn't bear it any longer. She pushed Yan Xi away, lay aside and vomited.
Disgusting, really disgusting.
Yan Xi looked at Shen Yuan suddenly, lit a candle and poured her a cup of tea.
Only then did Shen Yuan see the room clearly.
There was only a bed and nothing else inside, and she had no way of telling where this place was.
Yan Xi handed her the water, but she knocked it to the ground.
She supported herself on the ground with one hand and looked up at Yan Xi, "Where did you take my mother?"
"Did he deliberately cause my mother to be sick?"
"Don't worry, she's fine. As long as you listen, I promise everyone around you will be fine. Be good and have a good rest first. Tell me what you want to eat or drink."
Yan Xi slowly rubbed the blood on the back of his hand against the corner of Shen Yuan's mouth, "Be good, don't make me angry, okay?"
