Chapter 776: Commit Mariticide
“Princess Mingzhu is an imperial princess in the first place, so what’s wrong with her staying in the imperial palace? It’s just like how you’re someone of the general’s residence, so you live here. Why don’t you go live in a scholar’s residence?” said Ning Shu coldly.
“But.” An Lingyun then said, “But Princess Mingzhu has already come to think of the general’s residence as her home.”
“If you think of a scholar’s residence as your home, does it become your home?” Ning Shu’s tone became even colder.
This girl’s head seriously wasn’t screwed on right.
An Lingyun choked due to Ning Shu’s words and she felt really uncomfortable. “Mother, could it be that you don’t like Princess Mingzhu? But she’s so wonderful.”
Ning Shu: “Go rest. I’m going to wait until your father wakes up.” Hurry and scram, this ma’am feels like hitting someone now.
An Lingyun had no choice but to leave.
Ning Shu pulled off An You’s clothes, revealing his muscular and scarred body. She then flipped him over and stabbed an acupuncture needle in the back of his waist.
An You groaned softly in his unconscious state and his body instantly became covered with cold sweat. Ning Shu pulled out the needle and sat by the bed to wait for An You to wake up.
An You slept through the entire night and only woke up the next morning. When he woke up, his face was wan and yellow. He paid no attention to Ning Shu who had stayed up the entire night to look after him. He pulled off the blankets and made to head into the palace to look for Princess Mingzhu.
However, he was only able to take two steps before he collapsed to the ground. After an entire day of not eating anything, An You was already starved to the point that he didn’t have any strength.
The old madame walked in, leaning on her crutch. When she saw An You like this, she lifted her crutch to hit him, but she couldn’t bring herself to when she saw how haggard he looked.
“An You, what are you doing? You’re so muddled now that you can’t even see things clearly! It’s impossible for you to be with Princess Mingzhu,” said the old madame sternly.
An You said, “I have been muddled, and I don’t want to see things clearly. It was only after I met Mingzhu that I finally feel like I haven’t lived in vain, that this lifetime is filled with brilliant and splendid colors, even if it’s for a short time.
What’s brilliant and splendid should be fireworks. These two seriously deserved their end of dying. Ning Shu used her most pained and constipated expression to look towards the old madame. “Mother.”
The old madame forced An You to drink some porridge. As An You drank the porridge, his gaze landed on Ning Shu and he abruptly got up to grab Ning Shu’s wrist with a crushing grip.
“It was you. It was definitely you!” shouted An You.
Ning Shu’s facial muscles trembled. It felt like An You had spat on her face. Frick, it was disgusting! She really wanted to just kick his crotch, but she forced that impulse down and said in a trembling voice, “Husband, I don’t know what you’re saying? What was me?”
The old madame leaned on her clutch and shouted, “An You, let go of Lingxian first. If there’s something, talk it out properly.”
Ning Shu yanked her hand out of An You’s grasp and went to hide behind the old madame.
“You were definitely the one that enacted some scheme. Why else would the empress dowager summon Princess Mingzhu to the palace right after you two visited? It was you! It was definitely you!” An You pointed at Ning Shu, his face filled with pain and hatred. “If there’s anything, you should just direct it towards me? Why did you target Princess Mingzhu? Have you thought about how painful it must be for her to be in the palace all alone?”
“Wei Lingxian, I was truly blind in the past to not see your true character. Princess Mingzhu is just a lonely woman. Are you that unable to tolerate her? Where’s your grace, your magnanimous?”
Ning Shu: …
I fricking want to commit mariticide now.
