Chapter 709 How shameless are you!
"Don't rush, let me finish."
Liu Nanshi took a sip of tea, completely unconcerned: "As long as you can deliver the letter and then expose the Duke of Zhenguo's treason to the Emperor, the Gu family will be executed, and Gu Qianhan will die. At that time, Shen Wantang will be yours!"
Xiao Qingyuan finally realized what was happening, and his expression changed drastically: "Are you trying to frame the Duke of Zhenguo for treason?! Are you insane!"
"Keep your voice down. Do you want everyone outside to hear? This isn't framing him. This is relieving the Emperor's worries and getting rid of such a major threat. The Emperor will definitely be very happy. Once the Emperor is happy, you, the great hero, can easily take Shen Wantang away from him."
Xiao Qingyuan looked at her in disbelief: "You actually spoke of such a serious matter of harming an entire clan so lightly?! Liu Nanshi, I originally thought you were just selfish and pretentious, but I never expected that you are so inhuman, so vicious and wicked!"
Liu Nanshi's face darkened: "Xiao Qingyuan, I was trying to help you, and instead of thanking me, you insulted me? How can you be so unable to distinguish right from wrong?!"
"It's precisely because I can distinguish right from wrong that I'm cursing you! I don't need your help at all, much less use such vicious methods to get Shen Wantang! Doing such things will bring retribution!"
"Don't you need my help? If I don't help you, you'll never be able to take Shen Wantang away from Gu Qianhan in this lifetime. You'll just be able to watch them being sweet and loving."
Liu Nanshi's face was filled with cold sarcasm: "Oh, by the way, I had someone inquire, and Shen Wantang and Gu Qianhan have already consummated their marriage. I heard that they make love every day, and Shen Wantang may already be pregnant with Gu Qianhan's child."
Xiao Qingyuan suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Liu Nanshi by the neck: "Shut up! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll strangle you! Gu Qianhan doesn't like Shen Wantang at all, he doesn't even like women, they can't possibly consummate their marriage!"
Liu Nanshi was almost suffocating from being choked, but she still looked at Xiao Qingyuan with a mocking gaze: "They... have consummated their marriage, and they're inseparable day and night. The child... must be coming soon, otherwise... why would Meng Yunlan, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family who can't lay any eggs... be frantically calling doctors to the house to cure her infertility!"
Xiao Qingyuan roared, "I told you to shut up! Shut up! Shut up!"
He gripped Liu Nanshi tightly, pinching her hard.
But Liu Nanshi didn't resist at all, and there wasn't even a hint of fear in her eyes, as if she was certain that he wouldn't dare to kill her like that.
Sure enough, Xiao Qingyuan released his grip after a short while.
"Cough cough cough!"
Liu Nanshi leaned against the pillow, breathing heavily. Then, as if she had remembered some huge joke, she burst into wild laughter: "Hahahaha!"
Xiao Qingyuan's eyebrows were almost knitted together: "Liu Nanshi, are you sick? What are you laughing at?"
"Hahaha, of course I'm laughing at you, Xiao Qingyuan! You got anxious when you heard that Shen Wantang and Gu Qianhan consummated their marriage, didn't you? You lost your composure, didn't you? You regretted it now, didn't you?"
"Why should I be in a hurry? What do I have to regret?"
"Oh, still being stubborn! In your past life, you were completely fooled by Chu Yanluo, then bewitched by that slut Huayi, and later fell in love with me, completely infatuated with me. You slept with all of us, without any inhibitions! But your legal wife, you didn't even touch her! Hahaha, now she's married to Gu Qianhan, and they consummated their marriage on their wedding night. Aren't you kicking yourself? Serves you right!"
Xiao Qingyuan said in a gloomy tone, "It seems you yourself know you're no good, having fallen to the same level as Chu Yanluo and Huayi. Yes, I didn't touch Shen Wantang in my past life, but so what? That just proves she's a good person, and she wouldn't stoop to using your despicable and shameless methods to get me! And you are nothing but my playthings!"
Liu Nanshi was still laughing. She leaned back on the pillow, laughing until tears streamed down her face: "Don't pretend to be strong, Xiao Qingyuan. Don't you know how much you loved me in your past life?"
"I only used a little trick, and you're already acting like you're going to die for me, aren't you? You even plotted to kill Shen Wantang so you could marry me!"
"If it weren't for your damned sister Xiao Qingxi pushing me into the river, Shen Wantang would have been the one who died that day!"
"Now that Shen Wantang has married Gu Qianhan, you suddenly think Shen Wantang is better? You want to steal her away again? How shameless of you!"
With each word she spoke, Xiao Qingyuan's expression grew increasingly grim, until finally, his face turned ashen.
He gritted his teeth and said, "If you hadn't tricked and deceived me, how could I have ever thought of killing Shen Wantang? It's because I was deceived by you in my past life that I'm sorry to her, so I want to make up for it in this life! I'm not like you, vicious and ruthless, a beast in human form, who clearly loves Gu Qianhan but still wants to kill his entire clan!"
Liu Nanshi's smile finally faded, and the gentle mask she had worn in public tore away, revealing her ferocious side: "If I can't have it, no one else can! Since Gu Qianhan refuses to marry me, then he should die! Why should my future be ruined, my reputation tarnished, and me despised by everyone, while he can win the heart of a beauty and live a carefree and sweet life!"
Xiao Qingyuan was taken aback, then belatedly realized: "So you hate him for not marrying you, that's why you're framing the Gu family? Why don't you just target Gu Qianhan? Framing the Gu family for treason only harms other innocent people!"
Liu Nanshi's voice was sinister: "Innocent? There are no innocent people in the Gu family! They all deserve to die!"
Xiao Qingyuan couldn't understand: "Why?!"
"Because after they found out that Gu Qianhan liked Shen Wantang, they all stopped looking at me properly! After they found out that I was sold into the Wan Hua Brothel, they all started to despise me!"
Xiao Qingyuan found it even more incomprehensible: "Isn't this human nature? Even if they did go too far, they didn't deserve to die, did they? Isn't your hatred a bit too much?"
Liu Nanshi sneered: "What do you know! I'm already at the lowest point in my life, having a very difficult time. Not only do they not offer me any help, but they also kick me when I'm down! Madam Gu is no longer friendly to me and won't invite me to the Duke's mansion anymore. She deserves to die!"
Xiao Qingyuan's eyes widened: "What kind of 'kicking someone when they're down' is this? Do you even know how to use your words?"
"Gu Qianning has started to distance herself from me. She's started siding with Shen Wantang and treating her like her best friend. And what about me? All these years I've tried to please her and protect her. What am I to her?!"
Xiao Qingyuan: "This shows that Gu Qianning is a smart woman. She knows you're not a good person, and she knows Shen Wantang is the good person. It seems my judgment was right this time!"
