The more Shen Changji pushed Liu Jiaojiao away, the tighter she clung to him.
"Chen Lang, I feel so bad... Please don't push me away."
If there's anything I did wrong, just tell me.
Left with no other choice, Shen Changji could only forcefully push her away.
Liu Jiaojiao staggered back a few steps, but luckily she grabbed the pillar behind her and didn't fall to the ground.
"Calm down."
"No! How can I stay calm... I can't stay calm! If you, Shen Lang, don't want me anymore, I might as well die!"
Liu Jiaojiao's eyes reddened slightly, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
She looked at Shen Changji with a pitiful expression.
Most men would find it hard to resist her, now that she's in tears.
But Chen Changji is no ordinary man.
He looked at Liu Jiaojiao with his usual indifferent expression, showing no intention of coaxing her.
"Chen Lang... I only want to be yours."
With affection in her eyes, Liu Jiaojiao looked at Shen Changji and walked closer to him again.
The more she saw Shen Changji's detached and indifferent appearance, the more she lost control of herself.
But looking at Liu Jiaojiao's appearance, Shen Changji had absolutely no such thoughts.
Instead, Su Miao's image appeared in his mind.
“Chen Lang…”
Liu Jiaojiao called softly and reached out to untie the belt around her waist.
"Looks like you're alright."
As he spoke, Shen Changji turned to leave, but Liu Jiaojiao quickly grabbed his arm.
"I've waited for you for so many years, why can't you give me..."
Do you have some kind of hidden illness?
If so, I can face it with you; you don't need to worry.
Shen Changji sensed that Liu Jiaojiao wanted to get closer again, so he picked up the chopsticks next to him and used them to block her shoulder, preventing her from getting any closer.
His eyes were deep and devoid of any emotion.
"Liu Jiaojiao, what did I tell you?"
"Not satisfied? Then we'll go to the palace tomorrow to dissolve the engagement."
Upon hearing Shen Changji's words, Liu Jiaojiao's eyes widened instantly.
Just then, there was a rapid knocking on the door.
"Miss! Something terrible has happened! A message from the estate says that the First Madam... she's dead!"
Cui'er's anxious voice came through.
Is it out of breath?
Liu Jiaojiao stood up straight instantly, unable to calm herself down, and ran outside.
Her mother was perfectly fine today, how could she suddenly die...?
Upon hearing this news, Shen Changji frowned and followed Liu Jiaojiao out.
Although Zhuangzi is not far removed from us, it still takes time for him to come to us.
When Liu Jiaojiao arrived, Liu Muxuan had already brought his men to the manor.
However, Liu Taipu did not come.
As soon as Liu Jiaojiao entered, she saw her mother lying on the ground, barely alive.
There were still traces of blood on her forehead, and her face showed pain.
Liu Jiaojiao couldn't believe it, and she quickly took a few steps back.
"No...it can't be! Someone must have harmed my mother, it must be!"
Liu Muxuan had already anticipated Liu Jiaojiao's emotions.
"No one harmed her; she sought her own death and ran herself over."
"No! I don't believe it, how could my mother have killed herself?"
"What are Liu Muxuan's intentions! Someone must be framing my mother!" Liu Jiaojiao murmured, her eyes red.
How could her mother, who was so afraid of pain, choose to kill herself?
"Young Miss, perhaps what this old servant says is unpleasant, but in reality, it was Madam who killed herself!"
Aunt Fan, who served by Lady Liu's side, said.
"Perhaps the lady couldn't accept this situation, so she chose to commit suicide."
After all, she had done such a shameful thing to her husband and was then abandoned in the village.
How could Lady Liu, with her strong personality, possibly endure it?
"No...impossible!"
"On the way to the estate, Madam's mental state had already begun to deteriorate. At the time, I thought it was just my imagination and didn't think much of it. But tonight, Madam suddenly burst into laughter and screams, her voice was quite chilling."
When the servant walked over, she saw with her own eyes that the lady was laughing while repeatedly banging her head against the wall...
The bleeding was already uncontrollable, but I couldn't stop her; the lady still passed away..."
Aunt Fan explained the situation in detail.
Liu Jiaojiao thought about what happened last night, which was a huge blow to her mother, but she never expected that... her mother would try to commit suicide.
"Did you see anyone else on the way to the manor, Madam?" Shen Changji asked.
"No, but Madam's emotions are unstable; she laughs one moment and cries the next. When I went to bring her a change of clothes, she was sitting listlessly in the room, calling out 'Master' from time to time..." Aunt Fan said.
Upon hearing the word "Master," Liu Jiaojiao immediately looked at Liu Muxuan.
"Where's my dad? My mom's gone, won't he come to see me?"
Liu Jiaojiao lost control and stepped forward, grabbing Liu Muxuan's collar.
"Why come? Wasn't it your mother's own fault that this happened? Father is unwell and won't be coming. He told me to handle the funeral arrangements simply."
Liu Muxuan pushed Liu Jiaojiao away and said, word by word.
But every word and phrase caused Liu Jiaojiao excruciating pain.
"Simple? Ha! Is that what Father said, or did you, Liu Muxuan, come up with it yourself!"
"What? Are you happy that my daughter and I have fallen to this state?" Liu Jiaojiao roared angrily.
"I'm happy? I am indeed happy!"
Remember how you and your daughter exploited me back then? How did you treat me? You even tried to use Gu Huayue to marry me in order to further control me! Do you think I don't know what you mean?
