Upon hearing Shen Qianmo's words, Su Luoyan's expression changed slightly, and she said somewhat hesitantly, "I don't understand what Qianmo means."
"Don't you understand?" Shen Qianmo raised her eyebrows slightly, sat leisurely on the chair next to her, and looked at Su Luoyan with a half-smile, saying, "If I said that I have already met Yan Xiuling, would Third Sister know better?"
"Wh...what? You've seen...you've seen Master?!" Su Luoyan's previously composed expression revealed a hint of astonishment. Shen Qianmo had already met Yan Xiuling and knew his identity, yet she was still alive and well. Could it be that even Yan Xiuling couldn't do anything to her?!
Shen Qianmo looked at Su Luoyan's astonished expression with satisfaction and smiled, "Third Sister, I love seeing how you and Second Sister's pretense is broken."
"Shen Qianmo! You don't need to keep me in suspense! Now that you've met the master, you must know everything, right?!" Su Luoyan was even more annoyed by Shen Qianmo's words, and she showed a look of being ready to die.
If even Yan Xiuling can't handle Shen Qianmo, how can I possibly deal with her?
"A spy from Linwei?" Shen Qianmo smiled faintly, looking languid. "Whether you are a spy from Linwei or not makes no difference to me. No matter what, I will kill you!"
“I am from Linwei, and Qianxin is about to marry the future emperor of Qiyue. If you kill me, you will offend both Linwei and Qiyue! Even the Demon Palace cannot protect you!” A hint of fear flashed in Su Luoyan’s eyes, but she forced herself to remain calm as she spoke.
"Is Third Sister's mind clear?" Shen Qianmo smiled calmly after hearing Su Luoyan's words, then stood up and slowly approached Su Luoyan, saying, "What if I told you that coming to kill you was also Yan Xiuling's idea?"
"Impossible! How could my master kill me?!" Su Luoyan's expression changed, and a trace of panic and fear flashed in her eyes. Her master was originally the Emperor of Linwei. Since she was assigned to Yan Xiuling five years ago, she realized how terrifying that seemingly innocent child was.
If it really was Yan Xiuling who gave the order, then even if Shen Qianmo didn't kill her, she would probably still be doomed.
"Impossible?!" Shen Qianmo's smile was tinged with coldness. She laughed, "You deliberately concealed my identity, intending to use him to kill me later. The crime of deceiving your master alone is enough to kill you. Not to mention how many things you have concealed and failed to report over the years?!"
"You...you..." Su Luoyan's expression changed drastically at Shen Qianmo's words, and she looked flustered. As if she had remembered her last lifeline, her eyes lit up. "Don't forget, I still have Qianxin. Shangguan Jin is the future emperor of Qi Yue!"
"The future Emperor Qi Yue?!" Shen Qianmo revealed a mocking smile, her eyes filled with pity as she looked at Su Luoyan. She laughed, "What if I told you that I, as the Palace Master of the Demon Palace, made a deal with Shangguan Jin: I would help him ascend the throne, and he would help me destroy the Prime Minister's Mansion? What if I told you that I, the Emperor of Tianmo, and your master are planning to join forces to destroy Qi Yue?"
Su Luoyan's face grew paler and paler. With each word Shen Qianmo spoke, her face turned even paler, and her eyes slowly changed from fear to despair. She collapsed to the ground, muttering, "How could this be? How could this be!"
"Now that I've told you all this, you'll never have a chance to speak again!" Shen Qianmo looked at Su Luoyan, who had fallen to the ground, without a trace of pity on her face, a cruel smile on her lips.
"No, no...don't kill me!" Upon hearing Shen Qianmo's words, Su Luoyan suddenly panicked and backed away, her eyes filled with fear.
"Hmph! I won't kill you?!" A hint of hatred flashed in Shen Qianmo's eyes, and a cruel smile appeared on her lips. "When you gave my mother a slow-acting poison, did you show any mercy?!"
Su Luoyan's face turned completely ashen when she heard Shen Qianmo's words.
Shen Qianmo reached out her jade-like hand and pinched Su Luoyan's face. Su Luoyan twisted her head in an attempt to avoid Shen Qianmo's hand, but Shen Qianmo still managed to stuff a pill into her mouth.
"What did you feed me?!" Su Luoyan reached into her mouth with her hand, trying to pry the pill out, but to no avail.
"No need to bother. The Bone-Corroding Pill melts instantly in your mouth," Shen Qianmo said coldly.
Su Luoyan's pupils slowly dilated, her whole body contorted on the ground, repeatedly screaming, "Please, kill me! Ah. Ah."
"When you gave my mother a slow-acting poison back then, did you ever think about her suffering?!" Shen Qianmo looked at Su Luoyan's contorted figure on the ground, but in her mind, she saw her mother suffering from illness and unbearable pain. However, that was not an illness, but a slow-acting poison given by Su Luoyan!
Su Luoyan was now deathly pale from the torment, her lips bleeding from being bitten so hard, and fine beads of sweat dotting her forehead from the pain. She looked at Shen Qianmo with pleading eyes and said, "I...I was wrong. Please...let me go..."
Shen Qianmo remained unmoved as she looked at Su Luoyan. Years ago, Su Luoyan had poisoned her mother with a slow-acting poison, causing her mother's early death. She herself had been reborn precisely at the time of her mother's demise. She couldn't save her mother, but she would definitely avenge her!
She wanted Su Luoyan to die in excruciating pain! Only then would she be worthy of her mother's spirit in heaven.
After a series of wailing screams, Su Luoyan stopped twisting. Her eyes bulged out of pain, and her originally gentle features were distorted by the poison. Shen Qianmo mercilessly took out the corpse-dissolving water and slowly poured it on Su Luoyan's body. Watching Su Luoyan turn into a puddle of clear water, he left without looking back.
After Shen Qianmo went outside, she saw Shen Qianxin walking towards Su Luoyan's courtyard. A slight smile appeared on her lips. Shen Qianxin, Su Luoyan's death is just the beginning. There are many more "good things" waiting for you in the future.
Chapter 47: Want to settle scores with her?
"Miss, the Second Miss is here. She doesn't seem to have any good intentions," Qianqian whispered in Shen Qianmo's ear.
Shen Qianmo was drinking tea at the moment. It was a top-grade three-leaf tea brewed with spring water from Tianshan Mountain, and it had a faint fragrance. Hearing Qianqian's words, Shen Qianmo lazily put down her teacup, raised her eyebrows slightly, and smiled, "You've arrived so quickly."
"Shen Qianmo!" Shen Qianyu's voice came from outside the house. Her gentle features were twisted with anger and grief. She looked at Shen Qianmo with icy eyes and said, "What have you done to my mother?!"
"Second Sister, that's an interesting question. Qianmo doesn't usually associate with Third Sister, so how would she know what happened to Third Sister?!" Shen Qianmo absentmindedly tapped the teapot lid against the teacup, seemingly appreciating the aroma of the tea.
Seeing that Shen Qianmo didn't take her seriously, Shen Qianyu became even more furious. Pointing at Shen Qianmo, she said, "Don't play dumb with me! How could my mother disappear without a trace?!"
"What right do you have to point fingers at my young lady!" Qianqian was furious when she saw Shen Qianyu pointing at Shen Qianmo with an arrogant attitude. She blocked Shen Qianmo's side, put her hands on her hips, and shouted with a pout.
"Qianqian, don't pay any attention to her." Seeing Qianqian's cute angry expression, Shen Qianmo reached out and touched Qianqian's hair, then casually looked at Shen Qianxin and smiled, "These feet are part of Third Sister's body, how can Qianmo control them?"
"Shen Qianmo! Stop pretending! Don't you know where my mother is?!" Shen Qianxin looked at Shen Qianmo with twisted resentment, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes. She bit her lip and asked, "You... did you use the same methods you used on my eldest sister and second mother on my mother?!"
Upon hearing Shen Qianxin's words, Shen Qianmo raised her eyebrows slightly. "Since Second Sister is so clever, I won't joke with her anymore. However, this method is a little different."
Upon hearing Shen Qianmo's words, Shen Qianxin took a step back. Had her mother really been killed by that vile woman, Shen Qianmo?!
Seeing Shen Qianxin's expression, Shen Qianmo's smile remained unchanged. She put down her teacup, slowly stood up, walked to Shen Qianxin, and smiled radiantly. "My eldest sister and second aunt were killed by me by sealing their throats with a ribbon from my sleeve. As for your mother, she died from excruciating pain!"
"You...you. You actually..." Shen Qianxin's expression changed upon hearing Shen Qianmo's words. Her eyes filled with even more resentment as she looked at Shen Qianmo. She wanted to say something to seriously hurt Shen Qianmo, but she was afraid that Shen Qianmo would kill her. In the end, her eyes turned into a venomous hatred.
"Second sister, you always like to hold back. Just say what you want to say. Don't worry, I won't kill you." Shen Qianmo seemed to see through Shen Qianxin's thoughts and said with a smile. Her tone was as if she was just casually talking about the weather, rather than discussing a matter of life and death.
"Fine! Shen Qianmo, if you have the guts, don't kill me. One day, I will avenge my mother!" Upon hearing Shen Qianmo's words, Shen Qianxin's suppressed resentment burst forth as she pointed at Shen Qianmo and said.
Shen Qianmo smiled slightly. She naturally knew that Shen Qianxin wanted to say more than just that. She probably wished she could tear her to pieces. Shen Qianxin was saying this not because she cared so much about Su Luoyan's death, but to provoke Shen Qianmo and make her unwilling to kill her.
However, Shen Qianmo never intended to kill her. She wanted Shen Qianxin to taste what it was like to die at the hands of the man she loved.
She slowly walked back to the table, took a sip of tea, and said with a faint smile, "Then I'll wait for Second Sister. Qianqian, see the guest out!"
"Second Miss, please!" Qianqian gestured for her to enter, but her demeanor was extremely arrogant, showing no regard for Shen Qianxin.
As soon as Shen Qianxin left, Qianqian said to Shen Qianmo, "Miss, why don't you just kill her?"
"Kill her?" Shen Qianmo's lips curled up slightly. How could the evil deeds Shen Qianxin had committed against her be simply dealt with by death? Killing her would be too easy for her. "No, I don't need to do it. Someone else will do it."
