Chapter 239: Chapter 240: Deliberately Provoking Chu Yu Chapter 239: Chapter 240: Deliberately Provoking Chu Yu “Will Chu Yu be acquitted?”
“No, the Emperor sentenced him to ten years of exile, with his noble title retained till the last generation.”
Such a result was imnsely satisfying for Shao He. That scumbag got the punishnt he deserved, and the original host’s spirit in heaven could probably rest in peace.
While they were talking, the carriage had already stopped in front of the prison.
It was Shao He’s first ti entering a prison, and as soon as she walked in, she felt gusts of cold wind.
“Why does it suddenly feel so cold?”
The temperature inside seed to be several degrees lower than outside.
“This place hardly sees the sunlight all year round. Naturally, the temperature can’t compare with the outside.” Pei Huaian took off his outer robe and draped it over her.
Shao He wanted to refuse, but after thinking it over, she decided against it and walked down the steps. At the bottom, she saw the opposite wall was hung with all sorts of torture instrunts, making it look even more chilling.
Even soone with excellent physical health would probably find it hard to endure such a place!
A wave of damp air hit her face, and the air was filled with a strong bloody scent and the sll of decay.
“Fifth Prince, please follow this servant.”
Following the leading jailer, they quickly arrived at the area where serious offenders were detained.
Although it was still early, the inside of the prison was gloomy. Guided by the direction given by the jailer, the two of them finally found Chu Yu’s cell.
Looking through the bars at the person inside, they saw Chu Yu sitting in a pile of straw, disheveled, in tattered clothing, curled up into a ball.
Had it not been before her very eyes, she would have found it hard to imagine that this person was once the esteed Marquis.
Chu Yu wore a thin prison garnt, covered with bruises and cuts, his hair unkempt, his eyes red and lifeless, his face pale without the slightest hint of color, his lips cracked and bleeding, with fresh blood oozing from the corners of his mouth…
This state was vastly different from the Chu Yu who once stood high above all in her mory!
Chu Yu seed to notice the movent outside and lifted his gaze toward the direction of Shao He. When his eyes t that white-clad figure, his eyes suddenly shot with excitent and joy.
“Shao He!”
Chu Yu struggled to his feet, ran over desperately, and clung to the bars, “I knew you still cared about , right, Shao He? Save , I didn’t embezzle, I was frad!”
“A Marquis of a nation indulges in embezzlent, and now you have the audacity to claim innocence here? Now that the evidence is conclusive, it’s ti for the Marquis to accept his fate!” Shao He looked at him with indifferent eyes and spoke calmly.
Chu Yu choked, knowing he probably had no hope left.
“Where is the child? Where is the child? Let see him, let him acknowledge his ancestors, would you?”
Chu Yu frantically tried to reach out to the people outside the prison, but Shao He, sensing this, stepped back.
She couldn’t help but rember the tragic scene of the original host who, after giving her all to deliver the child, was almost killed by Chu Yu and, having narrowly escaped death, was then thrown away at the Mass Burial Mound. If it were not for her own abilities, she would have t with a grisly end long ago.
“You are not worthy of seeing my child.” Shao He, filled with anger, continued, “As for your mother, her days are probably not going to be easy from now on. She has offended quite a few people. Do you think those people will miss the chance to step on her?”
Under his deliberate provocation, Chu Yu could no longer contain himself and started shouting.
“Shut up, just shut up!”
“What’s the matter? Can’t handle it? Your endurance is really lacking.” At the mont, Shao He’s mood was the complete opposite of Chu Yu’s, as she felt incredibly refreshed.
She was more than happy to see the painful, struggling look on Chu Yu’s face.
Chu Yu looked up at her, gradually letting go of his tight grip and lowered his head in defeat, “Could you just hear my plea, let the child inherit the title of Marquis Pingnan’s Mansion.”
“He can’t inherit it because…”
“Because of what?”
“Because Xiao Linzhang is not your child, his father is another man!” Shao He replied with a cold smile.
Her words were like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, setting off a tempest of waves spontaneously.
Chu Yu’s eyes widened in shock as he stared at Shao He, “No, that’s impossible! You’re lying to , right? You’re taking your revenge on , aren’t you? It must be so, it must be!”
“Shao He, you’re still angry, so you’re saying this on purpose, right?”
“Then watch carefully.”
As she spoke, Shao He reached out and grabbed Pei Huaian’s collar, standing on her tiptoes and kissing him,
Pei Huaian saw the face that lood close, his eyes widened slightly, then he regained his composure, and imdiately wrapped his arms around her waist, deepening the kiss.
Their lips entwined, tender and lingering.
After a long ti, the two separated; Chu Yu stood there dumbstruck, his face deathly pale, his gaze empty, seemingly having lost all ability to think.
“Do you understand the answer now?”
After a while, Chu Yu murmured inquiringly, “Why…”
“The Shao He and child you originally knew were killed by you long ago, and the person I am now is no longer the Shao He of the past.” After speaking, Shao He looked at him with the posture of a victor.
At that mont, Chu Yu’s mind exploded, his eyes bulging as if he had lost his sanity; he suddenly stretched out his hand, trying to grab Shao He, but Pei Huaian, holding her, dodged to the side and seized Chu Yu’s wrist, twisting it forcefully.
Chu Yu howled in pain, cursing incessantly, “You shaless woman, having an affair! This despicable woman actually betrayed ! I will kill you, I will kill you.”
“You will not die a good death; I curse you…”
“Too noisy, gag him.” Pei Huaian glanced at Ah Mo and naturally walked out holding Shao He.
“Yes.” Ah Mo bowed and looked at the person in the prison with a sinister smile on his face.
