Chapter 145: What Sense of Shame Do I Need?

Looking at Xiao Huanxi’s pale face and panicked expression, Chu Junyi’s heart flashed with a deep thought. “What’s wrong? Are you afraid that the medicine is too bitter? Don’t worry, I’ve already instructed the servants to prepare some candied fruit. You can have one after drinking it and you won’t feel the bitterness of the aftertaste.”

Xiao Huanxi forcefully restrained her emotions, not wanting Chu Junyi to discover her abnormality. She was still having some hope in her heart. Perhaps it was just a coincidence that Brother Junyi had sent this bowl of medicine over? Maybe he didn’t discover anything at all.

“Brother Junyi, I don’t want to drink it now. Actually, my body is fine now. It’s just that you guys still treat me like a patient living on medicine. These days, I feel like vomiting at the smell of medicine.”

Chu Junyi personally brought the medicine bowl to her. He didn’t care about her refusal at all. His deep eyes made it hard to see his emotions. “I know you’re afraid of the smell of the medicine, but you have to drink it. I’ve asked the imperial doctor before. He said that you have to drink the medicine for fourteen days to recuperate. Drink it quickly. The medicine is going to get cold.”

Looking at the constantly shaking bowl of medicine, Xiao Huanxi felt a chill running down her spine. She personally instructed people to prepare the medicinal ingredients and she was extremely clear about their effects.

If she drank this bowl of medicine, she would probably lie in bed for half a year, and this was not the most terrifying thing…

She turned her head and pouted slightly. “Brother Junyi, why do you keep forcing me to drink medicine? I said I don’t want to drink it.”

Chu Junyi looked at the young girl in front of him who looked so innocent. He couldn’t help but close his eyes and suppress the trace of sympathy in his eyes. “Huanxi, don’t be so willful. Drink the medicine quickly.”

Sensing the impatience in his tone, Xiao Huanxi finally took over the medicine bowl. A bitter medicinal fragrance rushed into her nose. Xiao Huanxi couldn’t help but feel nauseous. She slowly put the medicine bowl beside her mouth and thought ruthlessly in her heart.

If it weren’t for the vicious effects of these medicinal ingredients, it wouldn’t matter if she drank the medicine to gain Chu Junyi’s trust. However, after drinking this, she would at least be lying in bed, and in the worst case, she would lose the ability to bear children.

Chu Junyi stared coldly at Xiao Huanxi. Seeing her hands trembling as she held the medicine bowl, his heart became colder and colder. Ninghua only said that the medicine was vicious. If he hadn’t personally checked it, he wouldn’t be able to imagine how vicious these medicinal ingredients were. They would not only destroy the foundations of a person’s body, but also make it impossible for a woman to be pregnant! They were simply intended for sterilization!

Xiao Huanxi was also a woman, so she should know the importance of children to a woman, but she still did this. She was truly vicious!

“Huanxi, why don’t you drink?”

Xiao Huanxi’s hands that were holding the bowl trembled unceasingly. She felt that Chu Junyi had already seen through all of her plans. He was here today to help Shen Ninghua get revenge on her.

How could she drink this medicine at the cost of the rest of her life?

“Elder Brother, why wouldn’t I? I… Ah…” She spoke and somehow the medicine bowl fell to the ground. The porcelain bowl shattered into pieces with a thud, and the black liquid spilled all over the ground.

Chu Junyi glanced coldly at the medicinal ingredients on the ground. Gradually, the emotion in his eyes faded. “Since you don’t want to drink it, then don’t drink it.”

“Brother Junyi, I didn’t do it on purpose. My hands were shaky. Don’t be angry.” Seeing that Chu Junyi was about to turn around and leave, Xiao Huanxi hurriedly reached out and grabbed him by the arm.

“Shaky hands…Should I make another bowl of medicine for you? After all, there are a lot of old ginseng left.”

“No need! No…that’s not what I mean. I mean, how can I trouble you with cooking medicine for me? I’ll just let someone else do it.”

Chu Junyi looked coldly at her increasingly unsustainable smile and finally said, “Xiao Huanxi, I don’t dare to be your brother. If you ever thought of me as your brother, you wouldn’t plot against my sweetheart like this.”

Xiao Huanxi’s face instantly turned pale. “Brother Junyi, what are you talking about? When have I ever schemed against your sweetheart? I’ve been recuperating during the past few days. There’s nothing I could do…”

Chu Junyi ignored her explanation and said in a cold voice, “You don’t have to play the fool in front of me. Soon, your father will propose a marriage for you. If you still have some self-awareness, you should obey the arrangement to marry out of the capital. If you choose to adhere stubbornly to errors, I will not say a word for you in the future.”

“Marry out of the capital?” Xiao Huanxi sat up from the bed and hugged Chu Junyi’s waist from behind. “Brother Junyi, you actually said that you wanted me to marry out of the capital. Do you know that my heart is filled with you? I can’t tolerate the slightest bit of others. I don’t want to marry anyone. I just want to marry you!”

Chu Junyi waved his arm to break away from Xiao Huanxi. “Looks like you’re not prepared to make a choice. I’ve already reminded you and I’ve done my best.” After saying that, he walked towards the door.

Xiao Huanxi ran down barefooted and suddenly stopped in front of Chu Junyi. She raised her hand to embrace his neck and kissed him on the lips.

Chu Junyi didn’t expect her to be so bold and wasn’t prepared. Although he used his arm to block her, her kiss still landed on the corner of his lips. A rage rose in his heart.

“Xiao Huanxi, do you still have any sense of shame?”

Xiao Huanxi simply took one bolder step forward. She tore open the clothes on her chest. Her fair and soft shoulders and exquisite collarbones were dazzling. “You want me to marry out of the capital, so what sense of shame do I need? Brother Junyi, am I not beautiful? How come I am inferior to Shen Ninghua in your eyes? Don’t you want me?”

If Chu Junyi still had some brotherly affection for her in his heart before, now he was thoroughly tired of this farce. Xiao Huanxi was completely spoiled! Right now, she was like a lunatic!

“Ninghua is a respectable and elegant lady. Her every move is incomparably charming. She is exquisite and beautiful and no one can compare to her!” Chu Junyi’s gaze was as cold as thousand-year ice. The dense coldness was like a steel blade that pierced straight into a person’s heart.

Xiao Huanxi took two steps back, and her expression became somewhat dispirited.

Chu Junyi walked past her and directly left the room without looking at her again.

The door was shut with a bang!

Xiao Huanxi stood there in a daze for a long time. Then she suddenly fell to the ground and her fingers forcefully clasped onto the carpet. The light in her eyes was cold and sinister. “Exquisite and beautiful…Haha, what a compliment! If she doesn’t have that seductive face but turns into an ugly monster that makes everyone vomit, Brother Junyi, will you still think she is so beautiful?”

“Shen Ninghua, you want to destroy my life, so don’t blame me for making you the scapegoat. There are millions of men in this world, and you shouldn’t have taken a fancy to my Brother Junyi, you damn bitch!”

After leaving the room, Chu Junyi saw Xiao Fengjue standing not far away.

Xiao Fengjue stood at the side of the pavilion. His entire body was like a stern green pine. Obviously, he had heard their conversation. However, he did not say anything. He only gave Chu Junyi a deep look before turning around and leaving.

Chu Junyi did not pause either. He leapt out of the wall of the Xiao Mansion.

That day, he returned to the Xiao Mansion, hoping to discuss Xiao Huanxi’s matter with Xiao Jingran. However, he overheard Xiao Jingran’s angry words instead.

“We raised him up. Without the Xiao family, no matter how noble his status is, he wouldn’t be able to survive so many assassinations. Even now, the Xiao family is still supporting him. With so many favors done to him, shouldn’t he feel indebted to marry Huanxi as his wife?”

He never lacked food or clothing in the Xiao family. Everything he had was the same as Xiao Fengjue and the other members of the family. He was also grateful to the Xiao family for their kindness. He even had a plan to materialize his gratitude. Once he reinstated his identity, he would definitely ensure lasting glory for the Xiao family for a hundred years. Unfortunately, the Xiao family seemed to be unsatisfied. Currently, they wanted the position as his wife, they would want the throne of empress after he became the emperor. People’s desires kept growing and could never be satisfied. It had always been like this…

He didn’t want to stay in the Xiao Mansion any longer. After coming out, he headed for the Prefectural Princess Mansion. However, he didn’t know that Xiao Huanxi had mobilized all the Xiao family’s assassins at her disposal and swore to destroy Shen Ninghua!

Inside the Prefectural Princess Mansion, Shen Ninghua watched as Bai Ruo applied medicine to Shen Xuanlin, and her expression relaxed a lot. “Xuanlin, do you feel tired these days?”

In order to confuse the imperial doctors, Shen Xuanlin had to lie in bed motionlessly even though he was awake now. Occasionally, he also needed to pretend to be unconscious.

Shen Xuanlin shook his head. The smile on his face was bright. “Eldest Sister, I’m not tired at all.” He was more than happy that he could help Eldest Sister!

Shen Ninghua smiled and bent down to cover the quilt on him. “Have a good rest. I’ll go back to Ruixi Courtyard now. If anything happens, send someone to call me.”

“Yes, I know. Eldest Sister, hurry up and have some rest.”

After leaving Yingyue Courtyard, the smile on Shen Ninghua’s face faded. “Qing Que, is the mansion peaceful these days?”

“Miss, many servants believe that Youngest Master will die soon. They are very afraid of chickenpox, and they’ve been thinking of ways to spread the news to the outside so that the people outside can help them out.”

Shen Ninghua’s eyes flashed with a cold light. “These people are truly brainless. The mansion is completely sealed off now and we are on the same boat. If this boat capsizes, they will all drown. But they actually believe that someone will jump down to save them!”

“Miss, how do you plan to deal with them?”

“Since they are uneasy, beat them until they feel at peace. Keep an eye on them. If anyone dares to send out another word, drag them into the courtyard to receive punishment and let everyone watch the execution.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Shen Ninghua returned to her courtyard. “Is there any information on Nurse Gui’s family?”

“Miss, I only found out that Nurse Gui’s son owed a huge gambling debt and his legs were broken by the people who came to collect the debt. But suddenly he got the silver to pay off all the gambling debt. I tracked the source of the silver and found nothing useful. However, I found that Nurse Gui’s daughter-in-law has an aunt who works as a nurse in the Second Prince’s Mansion.”

Shen Ninghua stopped playing with the jade bracelet on her wrist, and a sharp light flashed in her eyes. “The Second Prince’s Mansion…” After the viper accident in the hunting party, Baili Jinchuan should be extremely angry with her, but she didn’t think he would go so far as to hurt Shen Xuanlin. It seemed that the person behind this was trying to spill dirty water on the Second Prince’s head.

As the two of them were talking, Hong Ling quickly walked in and reported, “Miss, there’s a movement from the Xiao Mansion. Xiao Huanxi has sent the Xiao family’s assassins to kill you!”

“Assassins of the Xiao family…I was just getting sleepy and someone offers me a pillow!” Shen Ninghua stood up, and her starry eyes flickered with a dazzling cold light. “Since she dares to confront me, then I will give them a big gift!”
