Chapter 220 You Deserve to Die
"It's you!"
It is said that enemies become particularly jealous when they meet. Zhou Lingyi was already angry with Shen Qionghua because of the arranged marriage. Now seeing Shen Qionghua looking at her with mocking eyes, she immediately became furious.
Zhou Lingyi looked around and saw that there was no one around except Shen Qionghua. He thought that without any witnesses, he would not be forced to apologize like last time in Shidinglou.
She immediately abandoned her noble lady's demeanor, grabbed the hem of her skirt, rushed to Shen Qionghua in two steps, and raised her hand to slap Shen Qionghua in the face.
"Bitch, how dare you eavesdrop on my conversation with His Highness!"
Shen Qionghua raised her hand and held an irregular object in front of her cheek. The next moment, a scream was heard and Shen Qionghua slowly curled her lips.
Zhou Lingyi held up his hand, his face full of pain. His originally well-maintained, fair, tender and slender right hand was now covered with scars on the palm. The longest one extended directly from the base of the finger to the wrist, spanning the entire palm.
Trickles of blood oozed out and spread along the lines on the palm, causing pain in the tiny scratches on the palm.
In his hand, there was an irregular stone that was bigger than a palm and was stained with blood. Shen Qionghua put it back to its original place with a look of disgust, and then looked at Zhou Lingyi.
Naturally, he also saw the scar on her palm, and his brows turned cold. It was obvious how much strength she had used to be injured like this.
"The Second Miss of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion is still so impulsive and likes to slap others in the face. But fortunately, this time I was prepared. I can't afford your slap."
Zhou Lingyi was brought up in pampered condition. The biggest injury he had ever suffered was the slaps from Shen Qionghua. He had never seen his own blood.
The bright red blood stung Zhou Lingyi's eyes, and bloodshot appeared in her eyes. She looked at Shen Qionghua as if she wanted to swallow her.
"Bitch, not only did you eavesdrop on my conversation with His Highness, you also dared to hurt me like this. I will never let you go!"
Shen Qionghua burst out laughing, and said with a mocking expression, "The second young lady of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion is really interesting. This is not your Yongning Marquis' Mansion, this is the emperor's feet. Where you and I stand is the place of the current emperor."
"I'm going to the palace for a banquet today. I'm tired, so I went out for a walk. If I pass by here, is that considered eavesdropping?"
Zhou Lingyi was about to open his mouth to argue with Shen Qionghua when he heard Shen Qionghua chuckle and said with disdain, "Besides, what do you call that a conversation? Talking with your mouth?"
"I haven't even accused you of defiling my eyes, yet you've turned the tables and falsely accused me of eavesdropping."
Zhou Lingyi's face, distorted with pain, froze for a moment, then he looked at Shen Qionghua angrily, "You really saw it!"
She took two steps forward. "How much did you see? How much did you hear?"
"How much have you heard?" Shen Qionghua said these words playfully, curling her lips and saying, "Second Miss of the Yongning Earl's Mansion, this county lady is kindly giving you a piece of advice today: your vision is really poor."
"A man who only wants to rely on or scheme for the money or power of another woman's family is only as good as you."
"If it were me, I would have treated it as filth and thrown it as far away as possible."
Hearing Xie Qian'an being compared to a filthy creature by Shen Qionghua, Zhou Lingyi angrily said, "What do you know?"
Then he reacted and stared at Shen Qionghua with wide eyes, "Okay, you really heard it all!"
Shen Qionghua curled her lips and said, "This county lady didn't want to hear it either, but who made this county lady have the bad luck to meet you two filthy bastards? I heard you guys plotting against the Lin family behind their backs, and those shameful words couldn't be stopped from entering this county lady's ears."
"This county lady can only say that you two are indeed birds of a feather, colluded with each other. I just wonder how the Lin family feels when they find out that you two have been plotting against Miss Lin behind her back."
Hearing this, Zhou Lingyi subconsciously thought that Shen Qionghua was going to tell the Lin family about Xie Qian'an's plan. She took two steps forward and tried to pull Shen Qionghua.
Shen Qionghua took two steps back, holding a soft stone that he had found from somewhere, and said with a gloomy face, "Don't come over here."
Zhou Lingyi subconsciously stopped in his tracks when he saw the goose-soft stone in Shen Qionghua's hand. His face turned grim as he said, "Bitch! If you dare to tell anyone about what just happened, even if you're the county lord now, His Highness won't let you off easily!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a stone was thrown at Zhou Lingyi's face. Zhou Lingyi was startled and quickly dodged to the side, but was still hit on the left shoulder.
Zhou Lingyi clutched his aching left shoulder, his anger growing stronger. He said bitterly, "Do you think the Lin family will believe you? The Emperor's words are irrevocable. Miss Lin is definitely Princess An. No matter how you try to sabotage her, you can't change that fact."
Shen Qionghua curled her lips, "Then you can try and see if the Lin family will believe me."
Zhou Lingyi bit her lips almost to the point of drawing blood. She looked at Shen Qionghua with accusing eyes, "Bitch! If you hadn't refused to obey His Highness's arrangements and serve us, His Highness wouldn't have married Miss Shen!"
"If you dare tell the Lin family, then you'd better keep an eye on your mother, that bitch, and Shen Yi. Don't let them get left alone and end up with their bodies left exposed in the wilderness!"
These words were so vicious that almost as Zhou Lingyi finished speaking, several soft stones popped out from nowhere and hit her knees.
Zhou Lingyi was caught off guard and fell to her knees with a thud. She was startled for a moment and was about to struggle to stand up when Shen Qionghua slapped her delicate cheek angrily.
The force was so strong that Zhou Lingyi was almost knocked to the ground, and a few traces of blood instantly flowed from the corner of Zhou Lingyi's mouth.
Shen Qionghua's eyes seemed to be filled with frost. She reached out and pinched Zhou Lingyi's chin, her voice cold and silent, "If your mouth can't speak, this county lady wouldn't mind finding an opportunity to cut it off."
Sensing the approaching danger, Zhou Lingyi instinctively shrank back, then realized that he had been frightened by a lowly merchant girl, and felt extremely angry.
Feeling something flowing down the corner of his mouth, Zhou Lingyi subconsciously raised his hand to wipe it, and his fingertips were stained with bright red, it was blood.
Today, Zhou Lingyi suddenly received the news of the Dao-appointed marriage, and then was humiliated again and again by Shen Qionghua. His spirit was almost broken.
She suddenly stood up and rushed towards Shen Qionghua's abdomen. Fortunately, Shen Qionghua was always on guard against her and quickly dodged. Zhou Lingyi missed and fell heavily to the ground again.
The clean and gorgeous clothes she had originally put on were stained with a little dirt, but Zhou Lingyi didn't care at all. She looked crazy and yelled at Shen Qionghua, "Did I say something wrong?"
"If you hadn't been willing to serve His Highness and use the Shen family's money to help His Highness, why would His Highness marry into the Lin family? Shen Qionghua, you are a selfish bitch!"
"My mother has helped your mother so much, but you are such an ungrateful person!"
Shen Qionghua was so angry that she almost laughed when she heard what Zhou Lingyi said.
What kind of perverse logic is this? She didn't want to be persecuted by Prince An and the Yongning Earl's Mansion, but it became her fault?
Shen Qionghua said coldly, "The Shen family's wealth was built bit by bit by my father. It's not up to outsiders to worry about how to use it."
"You and I both know exactly what the purpose of Lin's so-called help is."
"Besides, why do you think that you, the Yongning Earl, have harmed my entire Shen family, wanting to kill my mother and drown Ayi, and that I should use the Shen family's money to help you?"
"Your Yongning Marquis's Mansion is a bit too arrogant."
Shen Qionghua originally thought that Zhou Lingyi would feel guilty after saying this, but the facts were beyond her expectations.
Zhou Lingyi raised his head and said confidently, "Wealth should be in the hands of those who deserve it. The Shen family's money is just a pile of gold and silver in your hands. If it were in the hands of Your Highness, it would be worth far more than gold and silver."
"Your Shen family is nothing more than a humble merchant family. You should all feel honored to be a stepping stone for His Highness's great cause, but none of you know how to appreciate it."
"Even if you die for His Highness's cause, it will be a worthy death!"
