Chapter 494 Entangled by Evil Spirits?
Xiao Qingyuan's face instantly turned pale: "Throw it away? Stomp it? Nan Shi, my Nan Shi..."
He staggered as he tried to go out, but after only two steps he fell to the ground. Then, he lay on the ground and cried loudly, "I'm useless! I'm a piece of trash! There's no man in the world more useless than me!"
"I failed to protect Nan Shi when she was alive, and now that she's dead, I can't even protect her memorial tablet!"
"Nan Shi, I'm so sorry. I promised to marry you and make you my Crown Princess, and I promised to have five children with you, but I will never be able to keep those promises!"
"What else can I do? I might as well die!"
As he spoke, he got up and slammed his head against the wall.
Mo Ji was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to hug him: "Your Highness, please don't do this! Please calm down!"
A sarcastic voice suddenly rang out: "Hey, Mo Ji, why are you stopping him? Let him die! Let go, I don't believe he can actually crash into it!"
When Mo Ji turned around, he saw Xiao Qingxi standing there with her hands on her hips, watching the commotion.
He pleaded with a pained expression, "Grandma, please don't make things worse. The young master is already very upset. If you upset him further, wouldn't that just make things worse?"
Xiao Qingxi sneered: "Didn't he ask for it? He's willing to die for a woman, he has no backbone at all!"
Mo Ji said softly, "Aren't you the same? You've shed countless tears for Young Master Huo..."
Xiao Qingxi raised an eyebrow: "What did you say?! Say it again and see what happens?"
The ink machine lowered its head: "I know I was wrong."
Xiao Qingxi sneered: "If you dare to spout nonsense again, I'll cut out your tongue!"
"Yes, yes, I wouldn't dare."
"I'm a woman, can I be the same as a man? It's perfectly normal for me to cry! Xiao Qingyuan is a man, crying like a dog, isn't he ashamed!"
As she was speaking, Xiao Qingyuan suddenly lunged at her: "Xiao Qingxi, give me back my Southern Poems! Give them back to me!"
Caught off guard, Xiao Qingxi was tackled to the ground. She saw stars and yelled, "Xiao Qingyuan, you're a mad dog! Let me go!"
Xiao Qingyuan straddled her, his hands gripping her neck tightly: "You killed Nan Shi, and now you've thrown away her memorial tablet! I'm going to avenge Nan Shi! I'm going to kill you!"
Mo Ji and Granny Kang were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they hurriedly stepped forward to pull Xiao Qingyuan away.
"Your Highness, you mustn't!"
"Young Master, let go! You're going to strangle the young lady!"
The two of them used all their strength to finally pry Xiao Qingyuan's hands off. Just as they breathed a sigh of relief, Xiao Qingxi got up again, straddled Xiao Qingyuan, and grabbed his neck.
"You dare pinch me? I'll pinch you to death! Since you like Liu Nanshi so much, I might as well send you to join her in the underworld! You two, you two scoundrels, will go together there!"
Xiao Qingyuan looked at her without resisting at all: "Go ahead and pinch me. Anyway, Nan Shi is dead, and I didn't want to live on alone. It's good that you've pinched me to death."
Xiao Qingxi squeezed him so hard that his eyes rolled back, but he didn't struggle.
Mo Ji and Granny Chai quickly stepped forward to pull her away.
Just then, Princess Ning arrived: "Qingxi, stop! What are you doing!"
Xiao Qingxi looked up: "Mother, my brother just tried to strangle me! He's gone mad! Lock him up right now!"
Taking advantage of her distraction while she looked up, Xiao Qingyuan suddenly stood up, pinned her down, and tightly gripped her neck.
"Qingyuan!"
Princess Ning was in a real bind. She hurriedly stepped forward and slapped his hand away: "Let go of your sister! You are siblings, there is no one closer than you in this world, how can you fight?!"
She and the others worked together for a long time and finally managed to separate the two of them.
Xiao Qingxi stomped her feet in anger: "A good woman doesn't fight with a man! Humph, I'll let you off this time, but if you dare to bring someone else's memorial tablet back to the palace again, I'll throw you out too! Granny Kang, let's go, the feng shui here is bad, it's bad luck!"
After she finished speaking, she kicked Xiao Qingyuan again, then turned and left.
Xiao Qingyuan, his face pale, slowly walked outside.
"Qingyuan, where are you going again? Moji, stop him! How can he go out looking like this?"
Mo Ji quickly stepped forward and carried Xiao Qingyuan back into the house.
Seeing his half-dead state, Princess Ning couldn't help but ask Granny Quan, "Granny, what happened to him? He's acting like a dazed fool. Could he be possessed by some evil spirit?"
Granny Quan hesitated and said, "Is that possible? What kind of evil spirit would dare to harass our young master?"
"It must be Liu Nanshi!"
Princess Ning was both angry and anxious: "I knew I shouldn't have asked him to carry Liu Nanshi's memorial tablet, and I shouldn't have brought it back! Now look what's happened, Yuan'er is stuck here!"
"Princess, don't worry, we'll invite a Taoist priest back to exorcise the evil spirits!"
"Okay, then go and invite them quickly!"
"yes!"
"Oh, right, call Tang'er over again and have her check Yuan'er's pulse. He's become so thin these past few days and refuses to eat. Have Tang'er give him a few acupuncture treatments."
"yes!"
A moment later, Shen Wantang arrived with her maid.
She already knew about the commotion on Xiao Qingyuan's side, but she didn't expect her mother-in-law to call her to take Xiao Qingyuan's pulse. After all, her mother-in-law knew how much Xiao Qingyuan disliked her.
Sure enough, the moment she stepped into the house, Xiao Qingyuan's angry roar rang out: "Get out of here! Who told you to come?!"
Shen Wantang lowered her head and spoke in a gentle tone, "Your Highness, I'm just here to check your pulse. If you're alright, I'll leave immediately and won't bother you here."
"Get out! I don't need you to take my pulse. Only sick people need to have their pulse taken. You're cursing me!"
"Your Highness..."
"Get out! I told you to get out, didn't you hear me?"
She'd said everything she needed to say. Xiao Qingyuan refused to let her take his pulse, so she couldn't be blamed now, could she?
Shen Wantang looked at Princess Ning: "Mother, why don't you call the imperial physician?"
Princess Ning frowned, looked at Shen Wantang for a moment, and waved her hand, "You may leave!"
"yes."
After Shen Wantang finished speaking, she left with her maid.
Princess Ning frowned even more deeply when she saw her son quiet down as soon as she left: "Qingyuan, do you dislike her that much? What exactly do you find fault with her? Apart from her family background being inferior, isn't she better than Liu Nanshi in every way, including looks and temperament?"
Xiao Qingyuan looked at her coldly, his eyes bloodshot and his voice hoarse: "She is not even as good as a single hair of Nan Shi! Mother, do not compare others to Nan Shi. No one is worthy to be compared to Nan Shi, and Shen Wantang is even less worthy!"
"If it weren't for her insistence on taking my place as the legal wife, I would have married Nan Shi long ago! She's a selfish and petty person who doesn't care about Nan Shi's life or death for her own wealth and status. I despise people like that!"
Princess Ning opened her mouth, wanting to say a few words on behalf of Shen Wantang, but seeing her son's look of disgust, she ultimately said nothing and left with her entourage.
