Xiao Lingyue said calmly: "Yes, what do you want to say?"
Chu Yuanqi snorted coldly: "No wonder the rumors in the capital say that you have no conscience, are ruthless and cold-blooded towards your family, it seems to be true!"
"Family?" Xiao Lingyue found it funny, "The young Marquis is really kind. People who break bones and suck out marrow can be treated as family members."
"You don't need to be sarcastic to mock me, pretending I can't hear it?" Chu Yuanqi snorted coldly, "I know you didn't grow up in the Shen family and have no feelings for your family, but after all, blood is thicker than water, and you are so cold-blooded and callous,
It’s so chilling to watch.”
Xiao Lingyue stopped and looked at him with a half-smile, "Then according to the wishes of the young marquis, what should be done so as not to be called cold-blooded?"
Chu Yuanqi was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said: "At least... you can't be so indifferent, right?"
My family members knelt in front of me without even looking at me.
Simply worse than a stranger.
"When Shen Yuting bumped into the Queen's tomb, the young prince was also in the Buddhist hall. He should know what she said and what she did, right?"
Xiao Lingyue said: "She wanted to harm me first, and then she wanted to make me take the blame. Your Majesty was furious. The Shen family was deprived of titles, and I was also implicated. If I hadn't been good at medicine, Your Majesty would have asked me to take care of the Crown Princess with merit.
Lord Marquis, do you think I can still stand here fine now?"
Chu Yuanqi was speechless.
"According to the saying of the young marquis, blood is thicker than water, should I go to His Majesty to plead for mercy, and then kneel in front of the Buddhist temple with the father and daughter, and even offend His Majesty and be sentenced to death, in order to be called not cold-blooded? Not ruthless?
"
Xiao Lingyue's tone became more and more sarcastic.
Chu Yuanqi blushed and said awkwardly: "That's not what I meant..."
Xiao Lingyue said calmly: "It's none of my business and I just sit back and look at it with cold eyes. It's natural to stand and talk without pain in my back."
Chu Yuanqi choked for a moment.
"However, once he was implicated, the young marquis reacted very quickly." Xiao Lingyue said with a half-smile, "The Shen family had just been deprived of their title, and the young marquis couldn't wait to come to ask for the jade bracelet and insisted on it.
Break off the engagement immediately, not even a day later. It can be seen that the young marquis is as decisive as me in weighing the pros and cons and protecting his own safety."
So, how could he have the nerve to call her cold-blooded and callous?
Chu Yuanqi said in shock: "What nonsense are you talking about? I came to ask for the jade bracelet because..."
"It's because the Shen family is cheating and refuses to break off the engagement. I deliberately avoided seeing you, so you had no choice but to come to the door in person. It just happened to be the day when the Shen family was in disaster."
Xiao Lingyue spread her hands, "Look, your Zhenbei Hou Mansion is also very good at using the victim trick. Even you think you are righteous, don't you?"
Chu Yuanqi said angrily: "Isn't this the truth?!"
"But in the eyes of outsiders, the Shen family had just suffered a big disaster and been deprived of their title by His Majesty. The young Marquis couldn't wait to come to break off the engagement. He was so forceful and unreasonable that he forced me to confront my grandfather now and take away the engagement jade bracelet.
Find out, isn't this kind of behavior also heartless and selfish, just caring about protecting yourself?"
Chu Yuanqi was shocked!
He originally only thought about finally getting a chance to stop Shen Wan, and he wanted to get his jade bracelet back first anyway.
However, they never considered that the Shen family had just been in bad luck. He came to the door to break off the engagement in such a hurry. What would outsiders think?
I'm afraid everyone would think that the Zhenbei Houfu didn't want to be implicated by the Shen family, so they were anxious to break off the engagement immediately and end the relationship, right?
"No...my family has proposed to break off the engagement a long time ago. It's because you, the Shen family, have been dragging their feet and refusing to back off, so I..." Chu Yuanqi blushed and explained.
Xiao Lingyue's tone became even more indifferent: "Yes, your family has difficulties, so outsiders don't know about it, so they accuse the Zhenbei Hou Mansion of being treacherous and selfish. What's the problem?" Hot 『』 This chapter has been completed!
