Chapter 98: Chapter 99: You Still Love Chu Yu
Chapter 99 Do You Still Love Chu Yu
Shao He crossed her hands on the table, a faint smile playing at the corners of her mouth, “Can I have your life and Chu Yu’s life? Aside from that, no matter what conditions you offer, I will refuse.”
“You… don’t be too excessive!” Luo Jiner rose from her seat, slamming the table in anger.
“Excessive? Is this excessive? Compared to what you once did to , this is nothing!” Shao He’s eyes changed, her cold pupils glinting with faint murderous intent.
Luo Jiner was frightened by that look in her eyes, she had never seen such icy, bloodthirsty eyes, like a wild beast that would tear and devour her if she ca too close.
She feigned calm and said, “I see you are clearly still concerned about Chu Yu.”
...
“Heh! Correct, I am indeed still thinking about him,” Shao He laughed softly, “I’m constantly wondering when he will die.”
Her words stunned Luo Jiner for a mont, realizing that she did not like Chu Yu, but was purely seeking revenge.
“Your desire for his death ans you still have him in your heart. That’s why you won’t treat , you don’t want other won to bear his children!”
Shao He scoffed and countered, “Actually, I am also curious why a marquis would fall for a maid like you?”
Hearing this, Luo Jiner suddenly laughed, “What’s so wrong about the marquis liking ?”
“I just find it odd. Does Chu Yu like your plain face, or your identity as a maid? Or maybe he thinks you saved him?”
As soon as Shao He finished speaking, Luo Jiner’s face turned ugly, a hint of panic flickering in her eyes as she vehently denied, “Stop spouting nonsense here, I was the one who saved him.”
Shao He naturally noticed the look in her eyes and started analyzing eloquently while stroking her chin.
“A maid like you, how could you have transported soone from the suburbs of the capital to the city by carriage? Unless you carried him on your back, let’s not even talk about how you got him back, but where did you get the silver for the expensive dical fees?”
“Moreover, as a maid, why weren’t you by your master’s side, but instead took care of a foreign man for three days and nights? It all seems rather unreasonable.”
Shao He had so guesses in her heart. Maybe the savior was not Luo Jiner after all, but the original owner.
Upon hearing this, Luo Jiner grew even more frightened, “I… I was the one who saved the marquis that day. Stop talking nonsense!”
“Who is really talking nonsense, you surely know better than anyone,” said Shao He sharply.
Since she could not answer these questions, that ant Luo Jiner was simply lying; she could not be the person who saved Chu Yu.
“I risked my life to save the marquis. No matter what you say, you cannot change that fact.” Under her pressing words, Luo Jiner still did not admit that it wasn’t she who saved Chu Yu.
Because Luo Jiner knew, this was her only lifeline, and she must hold on tight.
“Who exactly is trying to alter the facts? Is it you or ?” Shao He raised her eyebrows, a mocking smile curving her lips.
Luo Jiner was driven mad by her, eyes turning red as she retorted, “The marquis even wanted to kill you and your child, yet you still can’t stop thinking about the marquis—it’s truly an obsessed heart.”
“But no matter what you do, the marquis will never accept you and that bastard again. You will never have a chance to return to the Marquis of Pingnan’s Mansion in this lifeti!”
“So what?” Shao He looked at her coldly.
“Just give up!” Luo Jiner hissed venomously.
Shao He suddenly laughed scornfully, “Give up? Hah… How ridiculous.”
Shao He narrowed her eyes slightly and said coldly, “Indeed, I have no intention of going back, and I care even less for that damnable Marquis of Pingnan’s Mansion. As for my child—”
Shao He paused, her eyes lifting to et hers, filled with mockery.
“If you were truly a mother, you would know that what a mother fears most is losing her child! So whether I like it or not, as long as you dare to harm a single hair on my child, I will make all of Marquis Pingnan’s Mansion accompany in death!”
Luo Jiner’s body trembled violently, her eyes revealing a trace of fear.
The current Shao He is indeed very different from before, especially her sharp eyes, no longer weak and lancholic.
“Since you are also a mother, you should understand how much I want a child of my own. Why can’t you help ? Aren’t you a doctor? Shouldn’t a doctor have a parent’s heart, yet you are so cruel!” Luo Jiner shouted as if she had gone mad.
Now she had no other options; her only hope was right in front of her.
“A doctor’s heart is for those who are kind, but for soone as evil and unscrupulous as you, having no children is the greatest retribution,” Shao He leaned back, her tone lazy.
She had heard so about the affairs of the Marquis Pingnan’s Mansion, especially seeing Chu Yu’s faltering steps that day, she knew he was working hard for an heir to the mansion, but none of this effort was directed towards Luo Jiner. Her frantic behavior was understandable.
Old Madam Chu has always valued heirs highly, and Luo Jiner, no matter her status or character, could not catch the eye of Old Madam. Having a child by her side was her last way out.
