Chapter 40: One knife, smash all the scumbag's teeth!
Why does cattail reed appear here?
Why couldn't Pu Wei appear here? Xie Yao wanted to ask.
In her previous life, she first met Pu Wei when she was engaged to Lu Shenyan.
A woman quietly knocked on her door.
She said her name was Pu Wei and she was Lu Shenyan's lover in Zuixue Tower. Afraid that Xie Yao would not believe her, she took out a yellowed piece of letter paper with a love poem written on it, which was in Lu Shenyan's handwriting.
Pu Wei also said that Lu Shenyan had not been to Zuixue Tower for a long time. She just wanted to come and see what the man she gave all her money to finally married looked like.
"Since you gave your private money to Lu Shenyan, and he and I are about to get married, husband and wife are one body, then I will repay you the money on his behalf."
Xie Yao saw the greed in Pu Wei's eyes, so she took out eight taels of silver and gave it to her: "This is all I have now. I wonder if it's enough? If not, I will collect more in a few days."
"Thank you, young lady. This is enough." Pu Wei accepted the money and bowed deeply to her. "Pu Wei wishes you and Mr. Lu a happy marriage and a harmonious life."
The second and last time she saw Pu Wei was in the village.
That day, Lu Shenyan brought a tortured woman with whip wounds all over her body, and she was dying.
He sneered at her and told her that the prostitute was trying to seduce him, so he redeemed her and fulfilled her wish.
Xie Yao recognized Pu Wei and wanted to save her, but was unable to do anything.
Pu Wei raised his hand in front of her, raised his index finger and thumb, and shook his head gently.
Before Xie Yao understood what she meant, she stood up tremblingly and slammed into the corner with her last bit of strength!
She didn't utter a word until her death.
She used her death to repay Xie Yao's favor of eight taels of silver, and at the same time reminded Xie Yao that Lu Shenyan was not only hypocritical, but also twisted and insane.
At the beginning, she couldn't save Pu Wei.
Later, she also became a reed.
And now, she is avenging Pu Wei, which is also avenging herself!
Xie Yao sat in the chair, listening to Pu Wei tearfully accusing Lu Shenyan, as if she saw the shadow of the greedy but humble and kind person in her previous life.
She knew that because of his appearance, Lu Shenyan had a very good reputation. Even though he had not passed the imperial examination, he was still loved by many women in the capital.
Pei Jun, the current Minister of Revenue, also came from a poor family, but was known as the most talented scholar in Dayan. After passing the imperial examination and becoming the top scorer, he was promoted all the way and had a smooth career.
Lu Shenyan managed his reputation in this way in order to climb up and replicate the career path of Minister Pei.
Now, it's all ruined.
He had an affair with a prostitute, but he refused to admit it and forced others to produce evidence. How could this be the behavior of a gentleman?
Pu Wei shouted again, "Yes, every time we met, we were always secretive, so no one saw us. You said that coming to Zuixue Tower was damaging to your reputation, so you asked me to cover it up for you, but you... you never paid once!"
The onlookers burst into laughter.
Lu Shenyan's face had turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. Suddenly, he looked at Xie Yao.
"Xie Yao! It's you. You don't want to marry the King of Jingbei, and you tried to seduce me into disobeying your will, but you failed. You're afraid that I'll become successful in the future, so you're deliberately harming me!"
He raised his fists above his head and roared, "I, Lu Shenyan, am upright and honest. I will not do anything unjust, nor will I allow myself to be slandered!"
After hearing what he said, the people who originally believed Pu Wei began to discuss quietly.
"What Lu Shenyan said makes sense. Who would be willing to marry the King of Jingbei? Could it be that Second Miss Xie seduced him and hired someone to tarnish Master Lu's reputation?"
"Brother Lu is a man of excellent character, but Second Miss Xie was really rude and disrespectful when she assaulted a servant of the Xie Mansion and injured Uncle Xie."
"Pu Wei is a prostitute after all, so her words cannot be trusted."
Seeing someone questioning her, Pu Wei wiped away her tears and held up the letter in her hand: "Everyone, this is the letter Lu Shenyan wrote earlier. Here is the evidence. I will never lie!"
Lu Shenyan glared at her, suddenly grabbed the letter and tore it into pieces in a few seconds.
"Shameless bitch! I took pity on you back then and gave you a few taels of silver. Now, you dare to collude with Xie Yao and use this waste paper to tarnish my good name!"
He cursed loudly.
Xie Yao's indifferent expression suddenly turned cold.
"And this woman!" Lu Shenyan's eyes were gloomy.
If he still had the idea of marrying Xie Yao now, he would be too stupid.
She was clearly teasing him! In that case, don't blame him for being ruthless!
Lu Shenyan suddenly suppressed his anger and said calmly, "Yesterday afternoon, Xie Yao sent a trusted servant to tell me to come here and meet her. If you don't believe me, just capture that servant and interrogate him, and you'll know what I said is true!"
He looked disgusted. "I only agreed to meet you because of our childhood playmates and because I saw you were going to marry a disabled prince. But you actually schemed against me. Now it seems, Xie Yao, you really deserve to marry that useless man. Even if you were the daughter of a wealthy family, I wouldn't care."
Xie Yao stood up suddenly.
The entire Yunhe Tower suddenly became quiet.
Lu Shenyan frowned, not knowing what he had said wrong.
He remembered that when Xie Yao was a child, she looked like this when she wanted to beat him and other people in Tangliu Lane.
However, things are different now. She is just a weak woman.
The next moment, Xie Yao swung his long sword.
A knife was stabbed into Lu Shenyan's mouth!
Her knife had no sheath, but was wrapped in linen, so after being stabbed, Lu Shenyan's mouth was fine for a while.
Until Xie Yao took a step forward, twisted the blade fiercely, and turned the long knife in his mouth——
“Ah ...!”
Lu Shenyan widened his eyes in disbelief, screamed like a pig being slaughtered, and blood and saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth.
In front of everyone, how could she...
"How dare you, how dare you..."
Lu Shenyan screamed, and Xie Yao pulled out the knife, stuck the back of the knife in his knee joint, and twisted it hard, wiping off the dirt on the knife.
“Crack!”
"Ahhh! Ugh!"
She kicked him again: "Why shouldn't I dare?"
Lu Shenyan screamed even more miserably, kneeling on the ground, his whole body twitching in pain.
He beat his chest and retched, and with a wow, he spat out two teeth that had been pried out by a knife.
When he saw the two teeth, he was stunned at first. After realizing what they were, his eyes were red with anger: "My teeth, Xie Yao, I'm with you——"
Before Lu Shenyan could utter the word "fight", Xie Yao grabbed his wrist with one hand and broke it.
This time, Lu Shenyan fell to the ground, his body curled up like a shrimp, and he didn't even have the strength to scream.
"You...why...?" he gasped, asking in disbelief.
Xie Yao breathed a sigh of relief, raised her foot, and stepped on Lu Shenyan's head like stepping on a dead dog.
"Who are you calling a bitch?"
She asked, crushing his hair crown with more force.
"Who are you calling disabled again? Huh?"
Xie Yao looked down at Lu Shenyan, her voice very soft.
