Chapter 691 "Master, could it be that you saw it wrongly in your previous life?
Nanny Yan responded and dragged Qi towards the inner room.
Shen Wantang also followed him in. She searched inside for a while and soon found the mechanism to open the secret cave.
When the mechanism was pressed, the dark hole appeared again.
Nanny Yan dragged Qi to the entrance of the cave. Qi screamed in fear, "Don't push me! I'm injured like this now. If I fall into this cave, I'll die! Shen Wantang, you can't kill me!"
"I didn't kill you. You followed me in last time. I saw that you seemed to like this secret cave very much, so I wanted to satisfy you again this time. Shouldn't you thank me?"
Qi finally panicked and begged for mercy: "Tang'er, I know I was wrong. I didn't do it on purpose last time. It was Master Xiao who asked me to do it! Please consider that I raised you. Even if I didn't do anything for you, I still worked hard. Please forgive me this time! Please!"
"Now you know it was wrong?"
"Yes, yes, I know I was wrong!"
"It's too late! Madam Yan, throw her down!"
A hurried voice suddenly sounded: "Wait!"
Shen Wantang turned around and saw that it was Xiao Qingyuan!
"Tang'er!"
"Xiao Qingyuan, you still dare to come?!"
"Tang'er, did you beat your stepmother into this state?"
"So what?"
"You... when did you become so cruel? She's your biological mother after all. Beating her like this will only be bad for your reputation if it gets out."
"Is Prince Xiao trying to teach me how to be filial to my stepmother?"
"not me--"
"I didn't know that Prince Xiao had such a filial side! Why haven't you been filial to Princess Ning? I heard that you've made her sick several times."
"Tang'er, these are two different things. Don't worry about my mother and me for now. Just let your stepmother go first!"
Shen Wantang looked at him coldly, and kicked Qi away in front of him.
"what!!!"
A terrified scream came from the secret cave, followed by a "thump" sound of falling, and then Qi's painful wail.
The secret cave is not deep, so falling into it won’t kill you, but it can still make you seriously dizzy.
Xiao Qingyuan frowned, "Shen Wantang, why are you doing this? Where's your kindness? Your gentleness and understanding? Why have you become so strange in this life? You were not like this in your last life."
Shen Wantang walked towards him, step by step closer. "Prince Xiao, what's wrong with you again? You're talking as if you know me very well. There's no such thing as a past life for this person. Prince, have you read too many storybooks and your mind is a little unclear? Do you want me to help you clear your mind?"
As she spoke, she raised her hand and slapped Xiao Qingyuan!
"Snapped!"
The crisp sound echoed throughout the inner room, startling Nanny Yan and the others. How could their own young mistress dare to hit the Prince of Ning?!
Shen Mingxuan, who ran over to peek, hid behind the door, covered her mouth in shock, her eyes wide as copper bells.
Xiao Qingyuan himself was stunned for a moment: "You, you hit me again?"
"Again? Why did Prince Xiao say again? If I remember correctly, this was the first time I hit you, right?"
Xiao Qingyuan's eyes flushed red. "Shen Wantang, this is the second time! You hit me in your previous life too! Do you think I'll never get angry with you? Will I always tolerate your misbehavior?"
Shen Wantang sneered, "I misbehaved? It's you who misbehaved, Xiao Qingyuan! My slap was too light!"
"You failed to steal my marriage, and you took advantage of my return home to plot against me. You teamed up with the Qi family to injure me and kidnap me! You nearly killed me!"
"Not only did you become a victim in front of the Emperor afterwards, but you also had me brought to the palace to be punished! Is there any law in Dafeng?!"
Xiao Qingyuan was stunned: "Go to the palace to be punished? What do you mean? Could it be that the emperor punished you?"
"Not only did the Emperor punish me, he also put all the blame on me. He even took out a letter I wrote to you, saying that I had been secretly seducing you and that I was not a faithful wife!"
"Letter? What letter?!"
"Yes, I also want to ask you, what exactly is this letter? I wrote you a letter before? How come I didn't know about it?! Could it be that you deliberately fabricated a letter and sent it to the emperor in order to compete for me?"
"I didn't! I, Xiao Qingyuan, act uprightly and honestly. How could I possibly do such a dirty thing?"
"Is kidnapping a bride fair and aboveboard? Digging a secret cave to plot against me not despicable?"
"I--"
Xiao Qingyuan was stuck and couldn't speak for a long time.
"I hope that Prince Xiao will not appear in front of me again. Otherwise, I don't know what crime I will be charged with. I don't want to go to the palace to be punished again."
"Tang'er, listen to my explanation. I don't know anything about that letter! I definitely didn't make it up. Someone might have been behind it, trying to alienate us! Yes, it was Gu Qianhan. It must have been Gu Qianhan who made it up, just to make you hate me and despise me!"
Shen Wantang was almost pissed off by him. Even at this time, his first reaction was still to blame Gu Qianhan?
Of course she knew that the letter could not have been forged by Xiao Qingyuan, because he didn't have the brains to do that!
But she couldn't openly say that the letter was forged by the emperor and the prince, otherwise she would lose her head tomorrow.
Therefore, she could only say that Xiao Qingyuan did it, but Xiao Qingyuan didn't even suspect that it was the emperor and the prince!
She suddenly felt that talking so much to Xiao Qingyuan was a waste of time. Even if he was reborn, he hadn't improved much! He was just as hopeless as in his previous life!
The expression on Shen Wantang's face gradually disappeared, and her mood returned to indifference. "Even if the prince has no brains, he should know with a toe that the letter could not have been fabricated by Gu Qianhan. After all, he is a genius of Dafeng after all. He wouldn't be so stupid as to make up a green hat for himself."
After she finished speaking, she walked out.
Xiao Qingyuan stepped forward and tried to pull her away, but was stopped by Nanny Yan: "Sir, please respect yourself! You shouldn't touch our young lady!"
Shen Wantang walked out of the room without looking back: "Mammy, let's go. Don't get too close to stupid people, otherwise you will become stupid."
"Yes, young lady."
Xiao Qingyuan watched her leave, his handsome face full of dejection.
Mo Ji came over and said, "Master, let's go back to the mansion. Your injuries haven't healed yet. If you sneak out like this, the princess will be angry."
"Mo Ji, why are you saying this?"
"what why?"
"Why did Tang'er like me so much in her last life, but she doesn't like me at all in this life? Can a person really change so much? How can she like two completely different people in two lifetimes?"
Mo Ji's face was filled with helplessness. He didn't know if there was such a thing as a previous life, but if there was, it must be—
"Master, could it be that you were mistaken in your past life? Second Miss Shen, perhaps, perhaps... she never liked you in her past life?"
