Chapter 710: Shu Yuanbao, who has no courage but is filled with darkness in his heart
Just now, after Zhang Zhirou was led away by Shu Yue, Shu He was waiting for someone to come.
As expected, a bamboo tube was extended into her door and window, and bursts of white smoke blew out of the tube.
She watched the smoke drifting over quietly, without any ripple in her eyes.
Smoke, this little trick was actually used on her. It seems that there is someone who doesn't understand her.
Seeing this, she actually believed what Zhang Zhirou said that "the poisoning was discovered halfway through". It was too amateurish!
Although he was an amateur, he still knew to wait outside for the smoke drug to take effect before coming in. In the end, Shu He became a little impatient and the door outside was finally opened.
However, she thought of all the people she could think of, but in the end she still didn't expect that the person who came would be Shu Yuanbao.
Shu Yuanbao gently pushed open the door, a look of gloom and resentment hanging on his young and naive face.
He was wearing a long blue Su brocade robe. The wide black belt around his waist was inlaid with several high-quality jades. The upper and lower sides of the belt were embroidered with exquisite and intricate patterns, which was very delicate.
This belt alone is worth a lot of money, which shows how much the Shu family loves Shu Yuanbao.
He walked in from the outer room with light steps, thinking that he would see Shu He who was fascinated by him. However, he did not expect that after entering, he would see Shu He with delicate makeup and stunning appearance, sitting upright behind a red silk pear blossom wood table, looking at him with a smile.
"you you……"
He froze in place, his feet rooted to the ground, staring at her in disbelief.
"Why am I not fascinated by your mystery smoke?" She said lightly, helping him finish the sentence he had not finished.
"Didn't the person who asked you to harm me tell you that I'm a pretty good doctor?"
"Oh, yes, your sister only knows that I can kill people, but she doesn't know that I can be a doctor, right?"
Shu He took a teacup from the table, poured a cup of tea into it, and placed it on the seat opposite her.
"Sit down, and tell me what you want to do when you come to see me."
Shu Yuanbao stood there, never moving. After a brief moment of astonishment and surprise, resentment returned to his face.
Seeing his expression, Shu He smiled faintly, "You want to kill me to avenge your mother and sister?"
"Shouldn't I?" Shu Yuanbao's face was filled with hatred, his right hand was on his lower back, and the not-so-mature murderous intent in his eyes appeared from time to time.
"You killed my mother and caused my sister to suffer torture every day in Prince Nanyu's Mansion. Shouldn't I kill you to avenge them?"
"Do you know how many wounds she has? Do you know that even the lowest servant, the one who cleans the toilet, can beat and scold her at will?"
His face was filled with anger and heartache. He was angry at Shu He's "ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness" and heartbroken about Shu Yue's miserable situation.
He wanted to save her, but he couldn't. Even seeing her took a lot of effort.
When he thought of Shu Yue's wounded body and the way she was humiliated and beaten, murderous intent emanated from him uncontrollably.
He pulled out a dagger from behind his back with his right hand and said viciously: "You are such a vicious woman, I will kill you, for revenge and to enforce justice!"
"You've never killed anyone, have you?" Shu He looked at him, a hint of inquiry in his eyes. "A child who has been spoiled by his parents since childhood has never even killed a chicken, right? Do you have the guts to kill someone?"
Shu Yuanqi's expression changed slightly. He had indeed never killed anyone, but he was not someone she looked down upon!
Seeing the change in his eyes, Shu He continued, "You lack courage, but your heart is filled with darkness, so you can only act like a spoiled child to provoke those who love you and make them do dirty things for you... I'm very curious, what kind of mentality do people like you usually have?"
Shu Yuanbao's face, full of hatred, suddenly froze, and his eyes showed a bit of panic, "You, what did you say?"
"Don't understand?" Shu He looked at him and took a sip of tea with a calm expression. "Are you still surprised why I know all this?"
Shu Yuanqi stood there in a daze, forgetting even to put down the dagger.
"Seven years ago, you were only nine years old, right?" Shu He played with the empty teacup in his hand, his thoughts drifting away. "At that time, everyone who knew the Shu family knew that you, Shu Yuanbao, were the smartest and most promising son in the entire Shu family."
"You are filial and kind, always gentle and courteous to your servants, like a humble gentleman... Even Grand Tutor Zhu Heng, who only met you once, praised you highly, saying that you will become a pillar of the country in the future!"
"It is precisely because of Zhu Heng's words that Shu Kelin and Guan Huizhi dote on you even more."
"But they don't know that beneath your youthful appearance, you hide a sinister, ugly, and scheming black heart!"
Shu Yuanbao's face turned even paler, and his eyes were filled with shame and anger. "What nonsense are you talking about?! You are the vicious, ugly, and black-hearted woman!"
"Am I talking nonsense?"
She put down the teacup, and her gentle eyes seemed to be covered with sharp thorns, pricking Shu Yuanbao's whole body, especially her eyes, which moved around and around, with nowhere to rest.
"When you were seven, you broke Shu Kelin's favorite celadon tea set. Perhaps you didn't know what the consequences would be if Shu Kelin found out, but at only seven years old, you were able to calmly pick up the pieces of the tea set, put them in a box, and take it to the corner of the study desk."
"Later, you told Lingxiang, who was your mother's personal maid at the time, that you wanted to practice calligraphy, so you asked her to get you a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, and you said you had to use your father's paper and brush..."
"Your mother was delighted to hear this and immediately asked Lingxiang to prepare it... That same day, Lingxiang was beaten with the cane thirty times in front of all the servants in the general's mansion for breaking the general's precious antique tea set, and was eventually sold off."
"I remember you cried so hard at that time, saying that Lingxiang was your favorite sister, and that she made the mistake unintentionally and didn't deserve such a severe punishment..."
Having said that, Shu He looked at Shu Yuanbao, his eyes full of surprise and panic, and of course more of confusion.
"How do you know this?" This is a secret known only to him, not even his mother knows it!
Shu He chuckled, "What a coincidence! I happened to be passing by when you broke the tea set, and I saw you picking up the pieces from the window. I also saw you put the box on the corner of the desk, where it would fall over if touched."
"When Lingxiang was beaten, I hid in the corner and saw you crying so hard. I thought Guan Huizhi deliberately let Lingxiang take the blame for you, and you felt guilty so you desperately pleaded for her... until later, I discovered something else."
