Chapter 512 Kneel Down and Beg Me
She was in a relaxed and cheerful mood when she left, but when she returned, Shen Wantang felt a little heavy-hearted.
Fortunately, things at home were just as troublesome, so she quickly lost interest in Gu Qianhan's affairs.
She had only been gone for a short while when Princess Ning was so angered by Xiao Qingxi that she vomited blood and fell into a coma. A dozen imperial physicians came, but none of them could wake her up.
Prince Ning barely managed to get up and go see the princess, but overwhelmed with grief, he also vomited blood and fainted.
Another chaotic medical treatment ensued, and the imperial physicians concluded that Prince Ning had damaged his heart meridian and was unlikely to wake up.
"Quack doctors! They're all quacks! A bunch of good-for-nothings! They can't even save a person! What use are you guys?!"
Xiao Qingxi pointed at the imperial physicians and cursed them. She single-handedly turned the entire palace into chaos and turmoil.
After she had scolded all the imperial physicians away, she turned her attention to Shen Wantang: "Aren't you an expert in medicine? What are you standing there for? Hurry up and come over here to wake up Father and Mother!"
Shen Wantang looked at her indifferently: "Xiao Qingxi, is this how you ask for favors?"
"When did I ask you for anything? I'm giving you an order!"
"You have no right to order me around. I am the Crown Princess of the Ning Prince's Mansion, the mistress of the household. What are you?"
"I……"
Xiao Qingxi had only uttered one word when Shen Wantang coldly interrupted her: "You are nothing! All you do is cause trouble. Father and Mother have both fallen ill and fainted from anger because of you, yet you are still shouting and yelling here, showing no remorse. It is truly a tragedy for Father and Mother to have such an unfilial daughter as you."
Xiao Qingxi was furious: "Shen Wantang, how dare you lecture me? You're not worthy to lecture me! I think you're the unfilial one! Father and Mother are both unconscious, and you're still here making sarcastic remarks. Why aren't you saving them? You're doing this on purpose. You just want to watch Father and Mother die so that the entire palace will fall into your hands!"
Shen Wantang sneered: "Father and Mother are your support, Xiao Qingxi, but not mine. Their death will not affect me in any way, but you—do I need to say more about what kind of end you will have?"
Xiao Qingxi's face turned pale instantly; this was a question she had never considered before!
She never imagined that her brother would die, let alone what it would be like if her father and mother were gone!
Looking at Shen Wantang's cold face, a chill ran through her.
Her voice trembled slightly: "Shen Wantang, was it you? Tell me, did you deliberately kill my brother?!"
Shen Wantang's tone was cold: "What does this have to do with me? Your brother died for love, wasn't he killed by Liu Nanshi? Wasn't Liu Nanshi killed by you? You indirectly killed your own brother, and you dare to do it but don't dare to admit it?"
Xiao Qingxi screamed, "It wasn't me!"
"Xiao Qingxi, I never knew you were such a coward. You killed your brother, and not only do you not dare to admit it, you're trying to pin the blame on me. What, you want me to take the blame for you so you won't be the murderer?"
Shen Wantang looked at her mockingly: "No, you are still the murderer. You killed Liu Nanshi, and you killed your brother. Without you, they would all be alive and well now! Oh, right, now we also have to add your father and mother to the list. You alone are going to kill all your loved ones!"
Xiao Qingxi took a step back: "No! That's not how it is! It's all your fault, it has nothing to do with me!"
"My father and mother have always been in good health, how could they suddenly both fall ill? It must be your fault!"
"You planned all of this, didn't you? From the moment you married into the Prince's mansion, you planned to wipe out our entire family!"
"Who's next? Am I next? Are you going to kill me again?!"
Shen Wantang stepped forward, getting closer to Xiao Qingxi step by step: "You're a piece of trash. If I wanted to kill you, I would have done it long ago. Why would I have waited until now?"
"As for the serious illness of Father and Mother, we both know the truth. When you were not back, although they were sick, they were treated by the imperial physicians and taken care of by maids and servants, so they were not in serious condition. But as soon as you came back, they were all so angry that they fainted."
“My mother’s illness couldn’t withstand any stimulation. When your brother was alive, he would stimulate her every day. If I hadn’t been by her side at all times, treating her and fulfilling my filial duty in place of your brother, do you think she would have survived until now?”
"Now that your brother is gone, you're trying to provoke her again. Are you two afraid she'll live even one more day? I went through all that trouble to pull her back from the brink of death, and you're doing everything you can to send her back there!"
Xiao Qingxi was cornered by Shen Wantang. Suddenly, she grabbed Shen Wantang's collar and strangled her neck tightly: "Shut up! Shut up! You're an outsider, you have no right to interfere in our family affairs! I'll strangle you right now to avenge my brother! To avenge my father and mother!"
Shen Wantang's face turned red from being pinched, and she couldn't breathe.
However, there was not a trace of panic on her face, nor any struggle. In fact, she even had a calm smile on her face: "I am the only one who can save your father and mother, yet you want to strangle me. What a... filial daughter!"
Both Granny Kang and Granny Quan came up to pull her away.
"My lord, let go! If you strangle the princess to death, not only will you become a murderer, but no one will be able to save the prince and princess!"
"Young Miss, please stop this nonsense! What time is it? Why are you still throwing a tantrum? The Prince and Princess are in grave danger. They always dote on you and protect you so much. Now it's your turn to protect them! Let go! You're choking the Princess Consort!"
Xiao Qingxi's eyes were filled with malice. She wanted to strangle Shen Wantang right there and now, but Shen Wantang seemed certain that she wouldn't dare, and looked at her with a mocking gaze.
In the end, she was defeated.
She released Shen Wantang: "I can spare your life, but you must revive my father and mother! If you fail to revive them, I will still strangle you!"
Shen Wantang coughed and gasped for breath. Once she caught her breath, she suddenly laughed: "You want me to save them? Fine, but not with this attitude."
"Shen Wantang, what exactly do you want?! I'm warning you, don't push your luck!"
Shen Wantang picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and then, without warning, slammed it down at Xiao Qingxi's feet.
The teacup exploded with a piercing "bang," shattering into pieces that scattered across the floor.
"ah!"
Xiao Qingxi screamed in fright, "Shen Wantang, what's wrong with you?!"
"Kneel down and beg me."
"What did you say?!"
"Kneel down, kneel on this pile of broken porcelain!"
