Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Mrs. Jing was still crying and making a fuss. “You’re my father’s sister, and Chuchu is your family too. How can you be so heartless? Oh my god, Old Madam Shen, you’re simply forcing us to our deaths.”
Old Madam Shen was extremely annoyed. “Who’s your family? You are just a bunch of poor people coming to the capital to take advantage of me. And Jing Chuchu. Does she think she can do whatever she wants just because she has a pretty face? As expected of someone from a small family. All she knows is seducing men…” Old Madam Shen was anxious and actually blurted out a series of hurtful words. For a moment, everyone was stunned.
After a while, Jing Guansheng suddenly smiled and said, “Old Madam, are you really going to be that heartless? Are you really going to stand by and do nothing?”
“What does Jing Chuchu have to do with me? What a joke!” Old Madam Shen replied without hesitation.
“Alright.” Jing Guansheng sneered and suddenly glanced at Shen Miao. “Since you want to burn the bridge after crossing it, don’t blame me for exposing you. Back then, you asked Chuchu to sleep with Shen Qiu and asked me to think of a way to get close to Shen Miao. At that time, you weren’t so heartless.”
As soon as he said that, everyone was shocked.
Of course, Luo Xueyan was the most shocked.
She looked at Jing Guansheng and asked word by word, “What did you say?”
Jing Guansheng ignored Old Madam Shen’s furious expression and continued, “Aunt, you probably don’t know. Back then, when Chuchu and I first came to the Shen family, Old Madam was very enthusiastic towards us. Why is that? She said that she liked us very much and hoped that we could marry into the Shen family. However, how could Eldest Cousin be interested in Chuchu who came from a small family? So, Old Madam came up with the idea of using drugs to make the marriage a done deal. Unexpectedly, the one being drugged turned out to be Second Cousin in the end.”
Luo Xueyan was so angry that her entire body was trembling. She suddenly pulled out the sword from her waist and placed it in front of Jing Guansheng’s neck.
Jing Guansheng’s expression changed drastically, but he still forced a smile and said, “Auntie, you’ve got the wrong person this time. My sister and I both know our limits. We wouldn’t dare to use drugs. Old Madam was the one who instructed people to use drugs. Auntie, don’t you think you should point your sword at someone else?”
Luo Xueyan turned to stare at Old Madam Shen, her killing intent soaring. Old Madam Shen was so frightened that she almost fell from her seat. She said, “What are you doing? Are you going to kill your mother-in-law?!”
“Not only does Old Madam want Chuchu to marry Eldest Cousin, but she also wants me to get close to Shen Miao and please her.” Jing Guansheng smiled disdainfully. “She even said that once a man and a woman slept together, it would be a done deal.”
Luo Xueyan could not stand it anymore and slashed at the ground, causing cracks to appear. Mrs. Jing screamed in fear, and Old Madam Shen’s face turned pale.
Shen Yue and Chen Ruoqiu were a little frightened, but Concubine Wan was surprised. She did not expect Old Madam Shen to use such a despicable method. If this method was used by ordinary women or concubines, it wouldn’t be so surprising. However, Old Madam Shen was the head of a huge family. Such a method was simply unsightly.
Luo Xueyan held Shen Miao’s hand with one hand and looked at Old Madam Shen with a sword in the other. When she was really angry, her murderous aura surged out, making people feel that she would pounce on Old Madam Shen and cut off her head in the next second. She said, “Old Madam, ever since I married Shen Xin, I’ve always treated you with respect. Although you’re not his biological mother, the two of us still respect you. Now after seeing your true colors, I don’t think I can live with an ingrate under the same roof.”
