Chapter 595 A Letter
The next day.
The news that the Shen family had been proposed to by two prominent families, the Duke's Mansion and the Prince of Ning's Mansion, in a single day spread throughout the entire capital.
Countless people on the streets and alleys were talking about this matter. Many people were extremely curious, wondering what was so special about the second young lady of the Shen family that made the Gu and Xiao families fight over her.
Ge Laofu.
Upon learning of this, Liu Nanshi smashed the entire set of celadon teaware.
The ground was covered with sharp shards of porcelain. The maids trembled with fear, and even Granny Sang was terrified, not daring to speak easily for fear of angering Liu Nanshi.
"This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Liu Nanshi broke down and roared, abandoning even her carefully maintained image as a noble lady: "How could Gu Qianhan possibly marry Shen Wantang? Xiao Qingyuan is even less likely to! The person they both love is clearly me, me in the past life and me in this life! How could it be Shen Wantang's turn?!"
"What went wrong? Why did everything change overnight?!"
Granny Sang lowered her eyelids, thinking to herself that her young mistress was probably also insane.
She was sold into the brothel Wan Hua Lou and her innocence was defiled by the brothel's thugs, ruining her reputation. The Duke's Mansion and the Prince of Ning's Mansion are both respectable families, so how could they possibly marry her?
Xiao Qingyuan had promised to marry her, but the problem is that it's not up to Xiao Qingyuan to decide what to do in the Ning Prince's Mansion. If it were up to Xiao Qingyuan, he would have married Chu Yanluo, who was pregnant with an illegitimate child, long ago!
Now, even Xiao Qingyuan has changed his mind.
It's already been reported from the Ning Prince's residence that the proposal to the Shen family to marry the second young lady wasn't made by the Ning Princess, but by Xiao Qingyuan himself.
Liu Nanshi even threatened Xiao Qingyuan with the absurd method of "killing Shen Wantang," saying that she would not marry him if he did not kill Shen Wantang!
Granny Sang found it utterly ridiculous. With the young lady in her current state, if someone wanted to marry her, why wouldn't she hurry up and get married? Why make demands? Why threaten her? Isn't she just blocking her own path?
Now things are much better. Not only did Xiao Qingyuan not kill Shen Wantang, he also sent someone to propose marriage. He wants to marry Shen Wantang!
After venting and cursing for most of the day, Liu Nanshi finally gritted her teeth and said, "Granny Sang, go and send someone to deliver a letter to Xiao Qingyuan, saying that I want to see him and that he should come to the Liu family immediately!"
Granny Sang responded, turned and went out, sending a servant to the Prince Ning's residence to deliver the message.
However, Liu Nanshi waited from noon until evening, but Xiao Qingyuan did not come to find her.
She was furious and exasperated: "Granny Sang, did the person you sent out deliver the message? Why hasn't Xiao Qingyuan arrived yet?!"
Granny Sang lowered her head, having lost count of how many times she had answered: "Reporting to the young lady, the message has been delivered. It was Qingsong who delivered it. He met with the young master and spoke to him in front of him."
"Why isn't Xiao Qingyuan here?!"
Granny Sang kept her head down. She really wanted to say: Don't you know why you didn't come?
Unfortunately, she didn't dare.
All afternoon, Liu Nanshi kept asking Xiao Qingyuan why he hadn't come yet. Granny Sang felt that she must know the reason, but she just didn't want to admit it.
The sky had completely darkened.
Without Liu Nanshi's orders, none of the maids dared to move; they all stood there obediently.
The room was dimly lit. After a long while, Liu Nanshi's sobbing voice rang out: "I thought that being reborn was a reward from heaven, but it turns out it wasn't. Being reborn is actually a punishment a hundred times more cruel than torture!"
"Xiao Qingyuan, I hate you! You deserve to die! And Shen Wantang, it's one thing for her to steal Xiao Qingyuan, but she even dared to steal Gu Qianhan! She's courting death!"
"You must experience all the suffering I've gone through!"
"I want to see if the Duke's Mansion and the Prince of Ning's Mansion will still want a used-up flower like you after you've been sold into the brothel and lost your virginity!"
Her voice was gloomy and ruthless, making the maids who served her tremble with fear—only those who served Liu Nanshi closely knew how cruel she could be when she tortured people.
But in just a moment, Liu Nanshi stopped crying, and even her voice regained its original gentle tone: "Granny Sang, light the lamp. Zhuying, come and serve me the pen and ink. I want to write a letter."
Although she had become gentle again, no one in the room dared to slack off. Granny Sang hurriedly lit the lamp, and Zhuying deftly went to lay out the paper and grind the ink.
A moment later, Liu Nanshi's letter was finished.
She put the letter in an envelope, sealed it with sealing wax, whispered a few words in Granny Sang's ear, and then said, "Go, make sure everyone is taken care of, and the letter must be delivered to me."
For the first time, Granny Sang questioned her decision, lingering and unwilling to leave: "Young Miss, this... this is probably inappropriate. How could you do such a thing? This..."
Liu Nanshi looked at her coldly: "You dare disobey my orders?"
"This old servant wouldn't dare! This old servant is just afraid that such things can't be kept secret forever. If they are discovered, your reputation and the Liu family's reputation will be ruined..."
"Is Granny Sang mocking me? Reminding me that my reputation is ruined?"
Granny Sang's liver was trembling: "This old servant absolutely did not mean that! But, Miss, such a big matter, why don't you discuss it with Madam before making a decision!"
Liu Nanshi sneered: "I don't need to consult with anyone when I do things! I've gotten into such a big mess, and my family of useless people can't find anything out. I know it was Shen Wantang who hired someone to harm me, but they can't find anything!"
"Hmph, they just don't want to investigate! Father and Mother just think that their daughter is ruined and worthless, so they are unwilling to waste any more energy on me."
Granny Sang couldn't help but say, "But, Miss, what if the person who harmed you really wasn't the second young lady of the Shen family? Perhaps it was someone else, which is why the master's men couldn't find out."
Liu Nanshi instantly became agitated again: "If I say it's Shen Wantang, then it's definitely Shen Wantang! I can't be wrong! No one but Shen Wantang could hate me this much! Have you lost your mind today, constantly questioning me? Since you dare to question me and disobey my orders, then you're useless. Pack your things and get out of the Liu family!"
Upon hearing this, Granny Sang's legs went weak, and she almost collapsed.
Having served Liu Nanshi for so many years, she knew better than anyone that once someone had served Liu Nanshi, no one could truly leave the Liu family.
The so-called release of the maids and nannies to let them leave was actually a cover for Liu Nanshi to have them secretly killed!
Because only the dead can keep Liu Nanshi's secret, thus ensuring her image as the most talented woman in Dafeng remains rock solid.
Granny Sang dared not question any further. She quickly said, "Young Miss, please calm down. This old servant will send someone to deliver a message right away!"
Liu Nanshi was satisfied. She reached out to help Granny Sang up, her tone softening again: "Granny, don't worry. As long as you work hard by my side, I will not mistreat you. Tell me, have I ever mistreated anyone who has been loyal to me?"
How could Granny Sang dare to say yes? She said "no" and then hurriedly left.
