Chapter 354: What good offspring can a person who abandons his own children produce?
The Shu family was in a miserable state. Even the maids and servants had bitter expressions on their faces, as if they were beset by bad luck and had dull looks.
Shu Kelin sat in the main hall, his face gloomy and his skin pale. His beautiful, yet incredibly tired, eyes were filled with sinister intent, like a snake hiding in the bushes, waiting for a chance to strike a fatal blow...
Kneeling in the hall were Shu Yue, who looked miserable and frightened, and Guan Huizhi, who also had an ugly expression.
"Who did this to the Ninth Prince?"
The cold voice made the two people below tremble even more violently.
"Dad, the rumors outside are all slander. This matter has nothing to do with Yue'er!"
"That day, it was the Ninth Prince who forced Yue'er. The servant beside him also saw it. He was the one who forcibly took me away!"
"Yue'er has been well-read since she was a child and knows what shame is. I would never do such a thing!"
Shu Kelin looked at her, and her seemingly strong body had lost its energy.
Can't do it?
Is there anything she can't do?
If she can kill people and desecrate corpses, what else can't she do?
"Chun Tao has confessed."
He spoke slowly, his voice no longer able to describe the disappointment.
Shu Yue looked at him and had a bad feeling in her heart.
"No, didn't she take all the blame herself?" She didn't even have the confidence to say this.
"Hmph! Wishful thinking!" He sneered, his heart feeling cold.
"Do you think your little tricks can hide from the eyes of the eldest son of the Yan family?"
"Yan Yuze personally interrogated Chuntao, and she confessed everything."
After saying this, he threw a piece of paper towards Shu Yue and the others. It was a copy of Chun Tao's confession.
It is clearly written above that the killer was hired by the lady and the idea was proposed by the young lady.
In order to avenge Yan Yucheng's infidelity to the young lady, the young lady chose to hire someone to assassinate Su Qianlan on the day of the wedding banquet.
In order to take revenge on Su Qianlan for seducing her man and trying to use her child to snatch the position of the eldest son, the young lady specially found the dirtiest and smelliest beggar in Kyoto to insult her!
In order to avoid any accidents, the killers' first priority is to kill, so they rape the person after he dies.
She wants both Su Qianlan's life and reputation, and she wants to publicize this matter so that Yan Yucheng will be discredited and he will never be able to hold his head up again in Kyoto. In this way, she can take charge of the second branch of the Yan family!
Every stroke on the paper revealed Shu Yue's ambition and ruthlessness!
"Shu Yue, what good will it do you?"
"You actually took advantage of Princess Zi Yan and asked her to help you host the Spring Breeze Banquet to clear your name. And then, you actually humiliated her at the Spring Breeze Banquet!!"
"How can you be so shameless?"
"How can you be so shameless as to be like this?!!"
"Cough cough cough..."
Shu Kelin coughed violently, his throat and lungs felt like they were on fire, with a sharp burning pain.
He was often in a coma these past two days. When he woke up occasionally, he would cough constantly, and every time he coughed up a pool of blood, it took him two days to recover.
But before he could even take a bite of his meal, he received the confession from Master Yan...
His face has been completely torn to pieces!
The letter slipped from Shu Yue's hand, and a look of madness suddenly appeared on her originally desperate face.
"I'm shameless? I'm shameless because you're so incompetent. Otherwise, I could have been the Princess of Jin or the Princess of Nanyu five years ago!"
"If it weren't for you being just a fourth-rank general, why would my mother and I have to scheme all the time, only to be able to achieve the position of the second mistress of the prime minister's mansion?"
"Oh, in the end, even the duck in my hand flew away!"
"After the wedding banquet, I was ruined and my path to success was blocked. What else could I do?"
"If I don't take the secret from five years ago and fight for it, my life will be over!!"
After she finished speaking, she thought of something and her expression softened, "Dad, I still have a chance!"
She crawled to Shu Kelin's feet, a hint of hope in her eyes, "Daddy, Prince Li is back! As long as we go to him with the secret, he will definitely help us!"
"Shut up!!" He dragged out his words hysterically, and then kicked her away.
He looked at her and seemed to understand a lot of things.
In those eyes, there was disappointment, contempt, hatred, and regret and guilt towards another person...
All kinds of emotions intertwined in his eyes, making him seem to have aged dozens of years in an instant.
"She's already dead, and you still want to use her?"
"Shu Yue, she's your sister! Are you still human?!"
"I'm not a human?" Shu Yue couldn't help laughing, "Hahaha! Daddy, don't you feel guilty when you say that?"
"She's my sister, so she's not your daughter? And Shu Yuanqing isn't your son?"
"When you ordered them to be killed, did you ever consider that they were your sons and daughters?"
"You come to question me now? Do you have the qualifications?!"
Shu Kelin stood up from the armchair with a strange and complicated expression on his face.
But the only thing that was certain was that he was filled with murderous intent. "You, what did you say?!"
Seeing him like this, Guan Huizhi's face was filled with horror. She quickly grabbed Shu Yue and tried to make her shut up!
But Shu Yue, like a madman, pushed her hand away and asked coldly and sarcastically, "You ask me why I'm so shameless? Dad, didn't I learn this from you?"
"For fame and future, you can even abandon your own children. What good offspring can a person like you produce?"
"you you……!!"
The hand with bulging veins pointed at the woman on the ground tremblingly, and the complex emotions in his eyes finally turned into a cold arrow.
A fierce slap hit Shu Yue's pretty face, and immediately, blood spurted out along with teeth.
"what!"
"Ah! General!" Guan Huizhi's eyes turned red as she tugged at his hand tightly. "Yue'er is your daughter! How could you be so cruel to her?!"
His cold eyes swept across the face he had seen for almost twenty years, and he slapped her again! "My daughter?"
"Have you forgotten what she just said?"
"I can abandon Jinghuang's child, let alone the daughter of a bitch like you?!!"
Guan Huizhi's pupils suddenly dilated, her eyes full of disbelief.
Bitch?
Is she a bitch to him?
"You've caused me to lose one child after another. Today, I'll send you to meet them and bury them with them!"
Keeping them would only be a stain that the Shu family would never be able to erase!
He pulled out the sword he hadn't used for a long time from the wall and almost hit Shu Yue with it.
Guan Huizhi was so frightened that she shouted, "They are not dead!"
Sure enough, the sword stopped an inch above Shu Yue's head.
The cold murderous intent frightened Shu Yue so much that she froze, unable to move. It wasn't until the sword was removed from her head that she breathed in two breaths, a wave of fear welling up in her heart.
Dad is crazy too!
He grabbed Guan Huizhi's collar, his eyes showing excitement or fear, "You, what did you say?"
Guan Huizhi looked at him with a sneer. Was he happy that they were not dead, but also afraid that they would come back?
She had been with him for twenty years, eight of them nameless and without any status, but he had never treated her sincerely!
Neither she nor her two children can compare to Liu Jinghuang and the child she gave birth to!
What a pity, even Liu Jinghuang can’t do it!
What he loved most was always his reputation and his official position!
She suddenly laughed, a hearty laugh.
"I said, they are not dead!"
"Shu He, Shu Yuanqing, those you wanted to kill are still alive!"
"Shu Yuanqing escaped on the night you decided to kill him!"
"I said he was dead to reassure you!"
"He knows a lot of things, including that you want to kill him!"
"Do you think he will come back and recognize you as his father?"
It was hard to tell whether the expression on Shu Kelin's face was shock, fear, or something else. In short, the emotions were so intense that it was terrifying.
"And your daughter, Shu He."
"After learning she gave birth to a daughter, didn't you want to kill her? That's what I ordered! But those bastards in Yuancheng, seeing she was losing her mind, actually kept her behind my back!"
"They want the manor in Yuancheng. They think that by supporting her, they can use leverage against me and get the manor!"
"Little did they know that they were reminding me. Rather than letting her die so quickly, it's better to let her suffer there!"
"What a pity! She also escaped half a year ago! All the assassins I sent out never returned!"
"Your daughter, Shu He, not only killed the assassin, but also killed everyone on the farm! In the end, she disappeared with King Dongli's child!"
The sword in Shu Kelin's hand suddenly fell to the ground. He took several steps back in a trance. All the blood left his face, and it was even whiter than the paper!
She leaned closer to him and asked, half provocatively and half mockingly, "General, are you happy to hear this?"
"They are still alive, disappearing one by one without a trace, but they have lives on their hands! Do you think they will return to Kyoto one day and come find you?"
"After all, the one who actually ordered them to be killed was you! You're their biological father!"
Guan Huizhi's last words were like a huge stone weighing a thousand pounds, completely crushing his last support.
He slumped down on the armchair, his eyes dim and empty, not knowing where to put them.
