After the divorce, I pursued the Ninth Prince 100 times.

"No, it's not him..."

"not him!"

Xu took a few steps back, lost her balance, and fell to the ground, not even noticing that her elbow was scraped.

Xia He hurriedly ran over to help her up, but she pushed him away.

She sat on the ground, holding her head in her hands, and screamed: "It was that vixen, it was that vixen who killed my Beiyue..."

"It's all that vixen! If it weren't for her, my Beiyue wouldn't have died at the young age of eight!"

She raised her head and looked at Shen Nanxing, her eyes red: "It was that vixen who killed your brother, it was that vixen!"

Shen Nanxing looked indifferently at the woman in front of him. Her hair was disheveled and her face was pale. She looked pitiful and helpless sitting on the ground.

But she couldn't feel any sympathy in her heart, and only asked coldly: "Do you dare to say that my brother's death has nothing to do with Shen Yuan?"

Her dark eyes were fixed on the eyes of the woman sitting on the ground.

Being looked at by those eyes, Xu felt as if all her flaws had been cut open and exposed in broad daylight.

She immediately broke down.

"Even if it's related to him, it was seduced by that vixen! If she wasn't seduced, who would kill their own child..."

Xu broke down and cried.

"He was just confused for a moment! This wasn't his intention..."

"Why do you have to be so hostile towards your father?"

Shen Nanxing's eyes were cold: "So you knew long ago that he was the one who killed your brother, right?"

Xu grabbed her hair, her face full of painful tears: "No, no. Beiyue was not killed by him, no!"

"It's that vixen, yes, it's all that vixen's fault..."

Seeing his wife crying like that, Xia He felt so heartbroken that she knelt down in front of Shen Nanxing.

"Princess, I beg you, please stop provoking my wife. She really can't bear it..."

"I can attest that Madam really didn't know about it all along. It was only after you reminded Madam that day that she began to speculate and send people to investigate. She only learned the news last night."

"Madam has been crying all night. This morning, her eyes were swollen. I applied ice to her eyes for a long time before they felt better. I then applied thick powder to cover them up."

"Madam shouldn't be going out in this state, but she said that today is the day for you, Princess, to return home. If she wasn't here, you would definitely be sad. That's why... that's why she insisted on going to see you even though she knew that Master and Concubine Qiu were both here..."

Xia He wiped her tears as she spoke, "Princess, Madam has had a very difficult time these past few years. When she learned that Master Beiyue's death was related to Master, she was sadder than anyone else... Can you please stop pushing her and give her some time?"

"I beg you!"

Xia He kowtowed to her heavily, her forehead was red and stained with grass and yellow soil from the plum forest, her face was full of sadness.

Shen Nanxing was silent for a long time before he spoke: "I will kill Shen Yuan and avenge my brother."

"Whatever you think."

A pair of black eyes were calm and without a trace of emotion.

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

But just as he took a step, someone rushed over and grabbed his calf.

She paused, lowered her head and met her mother's tearful eyes.

"Nanxing, no!"

Xu sobbed, "Patricide is a heinous crime. If you kill him, you will be executed according to North Vietnamese law..."

"I've already lost your brother, I can't lose you again..."

"Nanxing, please don't do anything stupid, okay?"

The woman cried so hard that she almost fainted.

Shen Nanxing remained unmoved: "Are you afraid that I will kill your sweetheart, or are you really worried about my life?"

After a long pause and seeing that the woman didn't say anything, Shen Nanxing used a little force to pull his calf out of the woman's arms and left.

But the woman knelt down a few steps and hugged his calf again.

"Mom is worried about you!"

Xu broke down and cried out, "Mother forced you to disguise yourself as a man for eight years, causing you to miss Prince Jing for eight years. Now that you've finally been with him, you should live a good life!"

"Mother, you can see that Prince Jing treats you very well, you should cherish him..."

Shen Nanxing glanced down at her and asked, "Mother, do you know that Prince Jing abandoned me on our wedding night and went to another woman's room?"

Xu lowered her head and stammered for a long time before finally saying nothing.

Ever since she was personally conferred the title of First-Rank Lady by His Majesty, many families of court officials have come to visit her at her house, and she naturally learned about this during her conversations with these ladies.

Can......

"You haven't seen Prince Jing for many years. It's normal for Prince Jing to have some thoughts on the woman beside him. Now that he has admitted his mistake, why don't you..."

Shen Nanxing's eyes were full of disappointment. He left without listening to her finish her words, leaving only sad cries behind.

She quickened her pace, and only after she had walked a long way did she feel her breathing became smoother.

My mother only has my scumbag father in her heart. Even though she has some feelings for her and my brother, they are far less important than the position my scumbag father holds in her heart.

But, in this life, she will definitely kill Shen Yuan.

Because not only did he scheme to kill Beiyue's brother, but in his previous life, he also conspired with Xie Tingyu to have his entire maternal family executed. And even if he wasn't directly involved in her death, he was definitely involved.

Therefore, if I were to live again, even if it was my biological father, he would have to pay for it with blood!

The grace of giving birth to me has been repaid in the previous life.

In this life, there is only hatred.

Nanyang Marquis Mansion, Qiutang Courtyard.

Aunt Qiu lay on the couch, her face swollen and red from the slaps, a startling sight against her otherwise fair complexion. Tears welled in her eyes, but she held them back, her expression stoic and aggrieved, a truly pitiful one.

Shen Yuan sat beside her, personally wrapping ice cubes in silk cloth and gently massaging them on her face. After a long moment, he sighed softly, "Qiu'er, I'm sorry for putting you through this..."

Aunt Qiu shook her head, but as she did so, tears rolled down her eyes, one after another, running down her cheeks and sinking into the pillowcase.

With a sigh, Shen Yuan leaned over and gently placed warm kisses on her face, kissing away the tears on her face one by one.

"Qiu'er, you should have been my only wife, Shen Yuan, but now I have forced you to be my concubine, and you have been doing it for so many years..."

The man's voice gradually became choked.

"I was about to make you my equal wife, but Xu ruined it..."

"Now I can't even give you the jewelry you like..."

"Qiu'er, am I really useless..."

The man buried his face in the woman's neck, and the warmth and wetness gradually spread across her neck.
