Xiao Qingxi's face changed: "You can't kill her! Lin Rouxin's secret, she hasn't told me yet, if you kill her, what should I do?"
"If I don't kill her and she falls into the hands of the government, I'll be dead! First I bribed the jailer to take her out of the death row, and then I ordered her to kill Shen Wantang. With all these charges against me, what should I do?"
Xiao Qingyuan was furious: "It's all your fault. You said you wanted Chu Yanluo to be my scapegoat, but now I'm Chu Yanluo's scapegoat! You still have time to care about Lin Rouxin, you should take care of your brother's life first!"
Xiao Qingxi glanced at him coldly: "Why are you panicking? I said Chu Yanluo is your scapegoat, so she is your scapegoat. As long as you refuse to admit that you ordered her to do so, no one can do anything to you. With your father and mother protecting you, how dare the government arrest you?"
After listening to this, Xiao Qingyuan calmed down a little: "What should we do now?"
"What do you mean? You don't want to kill Shen Wantang anymore?"
"This……"
"You won't achieve anything great if you are indecisive, Xiao Qingyuan!"
"She is actually quite innocent, and she really loves me. I can't bear it."
"So you don't want to marry Liu Nanshi? Are you willing to let Liu Nanshi be your concubine? Even if you are willing, Liu Nanshi won't agree, right?"
Xiao Qingyuan was silent for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, kill!"
Xiao Qingxi looked relieved: "Then hurry up and find Chu Yanluo before the government finds her."
"After we find her, what next? Do you think Chu Yanluo will still listen to me and kill people for me? Why don't I find someone else to kill Shen Wantang?"
"Who do you want to find to kill her? Apart from a desperate person like Chu Yanluo, who else would kill for you? Mo Ji?"
"Mo Ji can't do that. He is my personal servant. If he kills someone, others will know that I ordered him to do it. Wouldn't that be courting death?"
"Who do you want to see?"
"What do you think of the painting?"
Xiao Qingxi sneered: "Not so good, she is pregnant with your child, how could she kill Shen Wantang for you at this time? If she is exposed, won't she die?"
"What if I promise her that after the matter is settled, I will let her be my concubine?"
"Brother, don't feel so good about yourself. Your position as a concubine is not that attractive! Is Huayi a fool? Risking her life to kill the Crown Prince's Consort for you?"
Xiao Qingyuan frowned: "She doesn't want to? I think she has deep feelings for me and should be willing to do anything for me."
Xiao Qingxi couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "Alright, stop daydreaming, that painting is definitely not a good thing, and your so-called deep love is just your own wishful thinking!"
"Hurry up and send someone to find Chu Yanluo. It will be bad if she falls into the hands of the government!"
"Also, you don't have to worry about her not helping you kill people. I had someone poison her the day she was released from prison. She should have had the symptoms of the poison taking effect now, and she must be very scared. You can tell her that you will give her the antidote after she kills Shen Wantang. If she doesn't, she will die!"
Xiao Qingyuan was stunned: "Did you poison Chu Yanluo?"
"Nonsense, how else can I control her? How can I force her to tell me about Lin Rouxin? Do you think I'm an idiot like you, naively believing that Chu Yanluo will listen to us?"
Xiao Qingyuan looked at her with a complicated expression: "Qingxi, you are different from before. You used to be... a very simple and kind child."
Xiao Qingxi sneered: "You still have the nerve to criticize me? I am just giving you advice. The one who really decided to kill your wife is you, Xiao Qingyuan!"
Xiao Qingyuan couldn't refute this. After a long while, he nodded: "Okay, let's do it according to your method first. I'll go find Chu Yanluo."
He changed his clothes and was about to go out when Mo Ji rushed in: "My Lord, something bad has happened!"
Xiao Qingyuan said unhappily: "What's wrong again?"
"Miss Liu, she was knocked unconscious and taken away by Aunt Chu!"
"what?!"
"This is a letter from Aunt Chu's maid called Miss Liu, saying it's for you!"
Xiao Qingyuan snatched the letter, opened it, and was immediately furious: "Chu Yanluo actually dared to use Nan Shi to threaten me! Good, very good! Since she is seeking her own death, don't blame me for being rude!"
He didn't even bother to put on his raincoat and just walked out.
Mo Ji hurriedly chased after him with an umbrella.
The night was as dark as ink and the rain was pouring down.
On a bridge in the center of the city, Chu Yanluo was holding his chest in pain and gasping for breath.
Next to her was Liu Nanshi, whose hands and feet were tied.
The rain was too heavy and the poison continued to take effect. Chu Yanluo dragged Liu Nanshi here and couldn't walk anymore.
She leaned on the cold railing at the bridge head and glanced at the rising water level due to the heavy rain. The turbulent river reminded her of her previous life.
In her previous life, this was where she was pushed into the river by Shen Mingxuan.
Is she going to die here again in this life?
Liu Nanshi had already woken up. She couldn't move, so she could only use kindness and force to say, "Chu Yanluo, if you let me go now, you can still survive! Otherwise, the Liu family will not let you go, and Xiao Qingyuan will kill you too!"
A hot current surged out of Chu Yanluo's nose. She reached out her hand and wiped it, and it was all blood.
She took out the scissors she had taken from Liu Nanshi's room and put them against Liu Nanshi's neck: "I've been poisoned. If Xiao Qingyuan doesn't come and give me the antidote, I'll kill you and bury you with me! So, you'd better pray that Xiao Qingyuan really likes you and will come to see me in the rain for you!"
Liu Nanshi's neck was pierced and she screamed in pain: "Ah! Xiao Qingyuan will definitely come, put the scissors away first!"
Chu Yanluo looked at her with disdain: "What are you screaming about? During the day, I cut Shen Wantang's neck with a knife, but she didn't say a word. She was so calm and composed that I thought she was someone important. But you, on the other hand, don't look like a noble lady at all. You are not the most talented woman in the world, but I think you are just seeking fame and reputation. You are a waste!"
Liu Nanshi wanted to scold Chu Yanluo, but the sharp scissors pierced into her flesh, and it hurt so much that it became difficult for her to breathe. How could she dare to scold Chu Yanluo?
Fortunately, she didn't have to wait too long before Xiao Qingyuan arrived.
The moment she saw Xiao Qingyuan, Liu Nanshi was moved and she started crying: "Prince, save me! I don't want to die!"
Xiao Qingyuan approached and saw her appearance clearly. He felt great pain in his heart: "Nanshi, don't be afraid, I'm here! You won't die, and you won't die even if I die!"
Liu Nanshi was even more moved: "My Lord, don't say such unlucky words. You will live a long life. If I can survive, I will accompany you until old age."
"Okay, let's grow old together!"
Chu Yanluo almost fainted from anger: "You two dogs, you actually acted out your love scene in front of me? You think you can't die fast enough, right?"
Her nose was dripping with blood, but she didn't even bother to wipe it off. She used the scissors in her hand to prick Liu Nanshi hard, causing her to scream again.
