Chapter 425 The Hatred of Killing His Son
Hearing Gu Shuyan's answer, Chunxiang felt a mix of amusement and exasperation.
After asking so many questions, Gu Shuyan shut her down with just one sentence, leaving her speechless. It's true what they say, what goes around comes around.
Thinking back on all the arrogant things I did in the past, they seemed so laughable in front of Gu Shuyan. A true strong person doesn't need extra words to enhance her; just standing there, she outshines everyone else.
"Xu Feng, did you bring the Li family members?"
Seeing that Chunxiang had slumped back into her seat, Gu Shuyan took a few steps into the room and sat down in the main seat.
Upon seeing this, Mingyu immediately poured Gu Shuyan a glass of water, and then Xu Feng reported, "They should be here soon."
Gu Shuyan nodded, picked up her teacup and took a sip. Then she saw Fei'er and Pearl help the still weak Li Yingxue into the house.
Upon seeing Li Yingxue appear, Chunxiang's eyes flashed with surprise for a second, but it was only for that instant before she recovered.
That's true. If the young lady could kill the three of them so easily, would she still be the young lady? I just don't know why the young lady brought them all here.
Chunxiang knew she was now like a fish on a chopping block, so she didn't struggle and just quietly waited for what was about to happen.
However, Li Yingxue was not as obedient as Chunxiang. Although she was very weak, she had a lot of strength to struggle.
"Let me go, my child, give me back my child."
Her eyes glared hatefully at Gu Shuyan. Although she knew that Gu Shuyan had not killed her child, she still needed to find an outlet for her hatred.
Gu Shuyan, who brought the child to her, became the target of Li Yingxue's hatred.
"What? You really want to kill me?"
Gu Shuyan looked at Li Yingxue with amusement, sitting on a chair two meters away from her, quietly smiling as she watched her.
"Gu Shuyan, you will die a horrible death."
Li Yingxue gritted her teeth, looking as if she wanted to devour Gu Shuyan. But because of her physical condition, she couldn't even stand up, so how could she possibly get to Gu Shuyan?
"May she die a horrible death?" Gu Shuyan laughed, feeling extremely pleased as she looked at her current appearance.
Wasn't she just as weak back then? Sure enough, fortunes change, and it's finally Li Yingxue's turn.
Gu Shuyan's smile stung Li Yingxue. Her eyes seemed to spit fire as she stared intently at Gu Shuyan, her voice hoarse as she cried out, "Gu Shuyan, the hatred for killing my child is irreconcilable! I will haunt you even as a ghost!"
Li Yingxue's words finally provoked Gu Shuyan's anger. Gu Shuyan slammed the teacup in her hand onto the low table and stood up from her seat.
"The hatred of killing your son? You dare to say that?"
As Gu Shuyan spoke, she waved her hand, and Xu Feng immediately understood and handed the small swaddled baby to Li Yingxue.
"Is this child nothing more than a tool for you to gain favor and power? When have you ever treated him as your own child? Can you truly say that you only wanted to bring him into this world because you like him?"
Her Rui'er came into this world amidst her hopes and dreams. She thought it was because of her that the child, despite being so small, was so sensible that it broke her heart. To prevent others from discovering that he had come to see her, he even crawled in through a dog hole, just to give her a few snacks and steamed buns that he had secretly hidden away.
Rui'er, who held all her hopes and expectations, was murdered by these people working together. He was such a small child, so sensible and well-behaved, yet he ultimately couldn't escape the clutches of evil people.
"Nonsense, you're talking nonsense."
Li Yingxue felt a little scared under Gu Shuyan's gaze and couldn't help but lean back slightly.
Gu Shuyan snorted coldly: "Whether I said something wrong or not, you know in your heart."
Li Yingxue was naturally aware of her own thoughts; she simply didn't want to admit it. After all, what good would admitting it do her? It would only add to her guilt and unease.
Although Gu Shuyan was furious, she didn't intend to waste any more words on Li Yingxue, who was unfit to be a mother.
"Pearl, go and see if they've arrived yet."
Gu Shuyan was clearly agitated. Seeing this, Pearl hurriedly ran out. Due to the sudden change, the room became deathly silent for a moment.
"Miss, they've arrived."
A short while later, Pearl returned from outside, accompanied by the Li family members who were being held captive by several men.
After their business in the capital failed, the Li family gradually became unable to even live in their house. Fortunately, Li Yingxue still had some influence after entering the Crown Prince's residence, so she later settled the Li family in the house where she and the guard lived after their marriage.
"Yingxue, you're not dead! That's wonderful! You're not dead! That's wonderful!"
As soon as Madam Li entered the room, she saw Li Yingxue sitting slumped over, and immediately went up to hug her tightly.
"Mother." Li Yingxue had suffered a lot of grievances in the Crown Prince's residence, and now, with the added pain of losing her child, she hugged her mother and burst into tears.
As Gu Shuyan watched this scene, she gradually shifted her gaze to Chunxiang's face. Chunxiang looked at the loving mother and daughter opposite her, but seemed to feel little.
"Madam Li is truly devoted to Madam Xue!" Gu Shuyan suddenly spoke, drawing everyone's attention, even Chunxiang couldn't help but glance at her.
In her opinion, Gu Shuyan wouldn't just speak up for no reason; there must be some reason why she did so.
But... Chunxiang narrowed her eyes. What exactly did this have to do with her?
"Miss Gu, why are you arresting us?"
When Madam Li saw Gu Shuyan, her face paled. This morning, her family had been inexplicably taken into custody. At the time, she was wondering who her family had offended, but now it seemed that Gu Shuyan was behind it all.
"The Gu and Li families have long since severed ties, and you've successfully returned to being a pampered young lady. Why are you still causing us trouble?"
Gu Shuyan found Madam Li's words somewhat amusing. She was looking for trouble with them? All she wanted was their lives.
"Madam Li, you'd better not be in such a hurry. There are some things you should hear me out first. If you don't make me worry, your whole family won't rest in peace even when you die."
Gu Shuyan's words were quite chilling, after all, the word "death" was especially taboo these days.
"Gu Shuyan, why did you bring my family here?" Li Yingxue finally stopped crying and looked at Gu Shuyan.
