Chapter 620 You Are Not As Good As Me, Xiao Qingyuan
Liu Nanshi's face stiffened for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure. She said in a mocking tone, "Gu Qianhan, you don't need to laugh at me. Shen Wantang, whom you are about to marry, is no good either! You consider yourself a smart person, but you don't know that you have been completely fooled by her!"
Gu Qianhan said calmly, "What? She tricked me? I didn't know, but you, an outsider, do? Miss Liu is so resourceful, how come you didn't foresee that your Grand Secretary's residence would be robbed?"
Thinking of the treasures stolen from her house, Liu Nanshi felt a pang of pain in her heart, but she feigned indifference: "These are two different things, don't confuse them. Shen Wantang is ruthless. She secretly orchestrated my sale to the brothel! She wanted to ruin my reputation so you would despise me and marry her instead!"
Gu Qianhan's voice was icy: "First of all, your being sold to Wan Hua Lou has nothing to do with Shen Wantang. It was Chu Yanlu who did it."
"What?! Chu Yanluo? This is impossible!"
"Secondly, even before your reputation was ruined, I still loathed you. Neither I nor our Duke's Mansion ever said we wanted you to come into the family. You spread all of this yourself. You can fool others, but you can't fool me."
"Gu Qianhan! Is that all you feel for me—"
"Third, no matter what Shen Wantang is like, I love her. Whether she is ruthless or innocent, whether she likes to scheme against people in secret or to curse people openly, I will marry her. Anyone who tries to stop me, I will kill them."
"Are you crazy! Gu Qianhan, what's so great about Shen Wantang? Turns out you're just like Xiao Qingyuan, a brainless, infatuated fool!"
Gu Qianhan nodded: "Yes, I am, but so what? Haven't you seen it? I'm willing to serve her, and I have no one else in my eyes but her. So stop jumping around here. It will only make me look down on you even more."
Liu Nanshi looked at him in disbelief. She never expected that he would be so open and frank in admitting that he was deeply in love with Shen Wantang!
A surge of indescribable bitterness and jealousy welled up in her heart, a jealousy that made her want to kill Shen Wantang immediately!
Xiao Qingyuan, who had just been helped up by Mo Ji, was also stunned and stood there in shock: "Gu Qianhan, you, you really like Shen Wantang that much? But how is that possible? You've only met her a few times? You wouldn't... you wouldn't have been reborn too, would you? You have memories of her from your previous life, right?"
Gu Qianhan glanced at him. Having died once, he was indeed different. His brain had grown incredibly fast. It used to be only the size of a walnut, but now it should be—well, the size of an egg.
Although Xiao Qingyuan had guessed that he had been reborn, he remained completely unmoved. He said indifferently, "What rebirth? Xiao Qingyuan, you've been reading too many stories and it's ruined your brain."
“My love for Shen Wantang was love at first sight, and there was absolutely nothing else involved. But you seem to be different from me. You keep saying that you married her in your past life, so you want to marry her in this life too. You don’t really love her at all.”
"So, you are no match for me, Xiao Qingyuan. You lost long ago."
Xiao Qingyuan froze on the spot, unable to utter a single word.
Gu Qianhan gave a cold laugh and walked out.
"etc!"
Liu Nanshi hurriedly shouted, "Gu Qianhan, you just said that the person who caused me to be sold to the Wan Hua Lou was Chu Yanluo? What evidence do you have? How do I know if this is just a scapegoat you randomly found to exonerate Shen Wantang!"
Gu Qianhan turned around, looking at her with surprise: "So Miss Liu knows that you need evidence to say someone harmed you? I thought you didn't need evidence, just a mouth to spread rumors. I always thought Xiao Qingyuan was the most brainless person, but it turns out you're even more brainless than him. You two are really—a perfect match!"
Liu Nanshi's face turned pale and then red from his sarcasm: "Of course I didn't suspect Shen Wantang out of thin air. She was the most suspicious one to begin with! Besides, ruining my reputation would benefit her the most!"
"Isn't this just baseless suspicion against her?"
Gu Qianhan said coldly, "In my opinion, you are clearly jealous of her and deliberately making excuses to slander her! I have already told you the real culprit, but you still don't believe me. You are so stupid that you are a disgrace to Grand Secretary Liu! No wonder Grand Secretary Liu doesn't like you now. He probably knows that you are a good-for-nothing and a useless piece of trash!"
After he finished speaking, he walked straight out of the private room.
Liu Nanshi, unwilling to give up, chased after her: "But you have to tell me, why is it Chu Yanluo?! Isn't she locked up in the Jixin Nunnery?"
This time, Gu Qianhan didn't turn around. He said indifferently, "Because Chu Yanluo is just like the two of you, crazy and mad, saying that she has also been reborn and wants to take revenge on you! She ran away from Jixin Nunnery a long time ago, even I know that, but you don't?"
After he finished speaking, he took Jixiang downstairs and left.
In this life, Chu Yanluo certainly didn't go around announcing that she had been reborn. In fact, she learned from the experiences and lessons of her previous life and acted with great caution. She would even disguise herself and completely change her appearance when she went out to avoid exposing her identity and inviting disaster.
Since she's keeping it a secret, he'll reveal her secret of rebirth for her, letting her fight Xiao Qingyuan and Liu Nanshi like dogs, making the capital even more chaotic and exciting!
He deliberately didn't reveal that Chu Yanluo was currently hiding in the Shen family. If he revealed everything, Liu Nanshi would definitely become suspicious. Leaving some mysteries for her to solve on her own would make it more believable.
As Liu Nanshi watched him leave, she fell into a daze.
She muttered nervously, "No, impossible, how could it not be Shen Wantang? How could I have mistaken my enemy? Chu Yanluo? How dare Chu Yanluo harm me? How dare she?!"
Behind her, Xiao Qingyuan said in a vicious tone, "You believe everything Gu Qianhan says? The person who harmed you is neither Shen Wantang nor Chu Yanluo. I tested Chu Yanluo long ago, and she has not been reborn at all!"
It would have been better if he hadn't explained; the more he explained, the more Liu Nanshi believed Gu Qianhan. There was no other reason than that Xiao Qingyuan was just too stupid; what he said was often the opposite of the truth!
Because he had previously tested her to see if she had been reborn, and she had easily fooled him.
Now he's actually saying that he also tested Chu Yanluo!
She cursed angrily, "Idiot! What good are your tests? Chu Yanluo must have been reborn!"
Xiao Qingyuan was even more furious than her: "You don't believe me? Then let's go to Jixin Nunnery together and see if Chu Yanluo has really been reborn!"
"I'm going to Jixin Nunnery even without you telling me! I'm going to kill Chu Yanluo!"
