Abandoned Wife? Her Starlight Shall Blind You!-Chapter 286 - 229: Completely Incapable of Recognizing His Mistakes

Chapter 286: Chapter 229: Completely Incapable of Recognizing His Mistakes

Old Mrs. Xiao’s thoughts were exactly the same as Xiao Chengyi’s. She said, "Chengyi, you did nothing wrong. A mere concubine still dreams of marrying; it’s simply wishful thinking.

But what, after all, did Shen Ruoxi say to make you this angry?"

Xiao Chengyi’s face darkened, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "It wasn’t Shen Ruoxi, but that bitch Xueyan. She actually..."

At this point, Xiao Chengyi couldn’t continue, he just kept a stern face and said hatefully, "Anyway, that bitch dared to mock me. I will certainly not let her off easily."

Mrs. Zhou slowly closed her eyes, her mind filled with countless thoughts.

She had always pondered that her husband, who left early, was an upright person who never committed any evil deeds in his life.

Even in matters between husband and wife, he never took in a concubine. All four children were born to her, so why were none of them well-bred?

Perhaps it was because her husband died early. She felt sorry for these children who lost their father, so she spoiled them excessively. Thinking about it now, it can be seen as her failure in teaching them well.

Mrs. Zhou’s lips trembled, and she said painfully, "Chengyi! That child Xueyan is truly pitiful.

She gave her first time to you, yet she received not a bit of your pity, continually bullied, and almost lost her life.

If it weren’t for Ruoxi’s timely help, she might have already been buried in the yellow earth.

After you got married, you headed to the border city, and when you returned, you brought back Ning Zhen’er. Mother thought that since you had already wronged Ruoxi, it would be better to live well with Ning Zhen’er, losing her was something you should bear."

Xiao Chengyi’s face turned unpleasant, "Don’t mention that bitch Ning Zhen’er. She is unfaithful."

Mrs. Zhou said helplessly, "Fine, I won’t mention her, let’s talk about Xueyan.

She knew that Xueyan was your concubine, yet she sold her off. If it weren’t for Ruoxi buying her, who knows she might have already died.

A woman who lost her virginity always had difficulty in this world. Since you don’t care about her life or death, why care about who she marries?

How can you be so heartless, aren’t you afraid of truly compelling her to death? What exactly did Ruoxi say? You might truly have pushed Xueyan to the brink."

Hearing this, Xiao Chengyi was startled, and couldn’t help but wonder if this matter could really drive Xueyan to her death?

He only did this to find some trouble so that Shen Ruoxi would at least look at him once.

Ever since her marriage to Jun Moling, they had hardly met, let alone spoken a word, and he was almost driven insane by this repression.

He hadn’t intended to do much; he just acted deliberately when he heard about Xueyan’s marriage, wanting everyone to feel bad, but he never intended to drive her to death.

At this thought, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Had he really pushed Xueyan to death, so Shen Ruoxi would come to help her and say those humiliating words?

But upon careful consideration, he thought it was unlikely. If Xueyan were really dead, according to Shen Ruoxi’s temperament, she would have acted on the spot, not waited till the next day.

Obviously, she should be alright, and the wedding probably still went on.

He sneered, "Mother, every word I said is true. With a woman like her getting married, how could she seek death, it’s impossible."

Mrs. Zhou felt heartbroken. Is it about Xueyan seeking death?

What he’s doing is stabbing Xueyan with a knife!

If she had a choice, how could she have become his concubine, giving her most precious first time to him, and he uses it to stab her, does he even understand the consequences?

Seeing him acting as if he did nothing wrong, Mrs. Zhou said blandly, "Chengyi, how can you be so cold-blooded?"

"Chengyi’s mother, whose side are you on, after all? It’s Chengyi who’s being wronged now. Shen Ruoxi must compensate for these losses. It’s all her fault!" Old Mrs. Xiao glared angrily, gritting her teeth, and scolded her.

Mrs. Zhou had never felt as grateful as now that Shen Ruoxi left the Xiao family. She was a kind child who finally escaped this misery.

She smiled sadly, filled with sarcasm, "Mother-in-law, you’re right. You go on with Chengyi, sooner or later this Xiao family will be doomed by you.

Your daughter-in-law supports you in demanding compensation from Ruoxi, no, double compensation. If they don’t compensate, let His Majesty be the judge.

If you don’t do this, as your daughter-in-law, I will look down on you. Grandmother and grandson should brainstorm, your daughter-in-law bids farewell."

Old Mrs. Xiao could hear the sarcasm in her words, angrily tapping the floor with her cane, "Chengyi, don’t be angry. This matter will not be settled like this. Your mother is just confused! She’s siding with outsiders, never mind her."

Xiao Chengyi’s face was livid, silent.

He knew in his heart, wasn’t his mother right? Shen Ruoxi is now Princess Consort Zhan, highly esteemed.

Moreover, the thing was broken by himself. Demanding compensation from her, unless he’s out of his mind.

But he never said these words aloud.

The servants were tidying the room carefully, suddenly finding four copper coins on the ground.

They didn’t know how to handle them, didn’t dare to discard them, nor dare to pocket them privately, so they quietly reported to Xiao Chengyi, "Young General, these four copper coins..."

Before they finished speaking, Xiao Chengyi was already furious, gritting his teeth and yelling, "Get lost! Throw them as far as you can!"

The servant turned pale with fright, quickly responded, "Yes, Sir!"

Then hurriedly took the four copper coins and the fragments on the ground out.

Old Mrs. Zhou looked at the mess and those fragments, heart aching so much it was hard to breathe, as if a boulder blocked her chest, overwhelmingly uncomfortable.

She wanted to say something, but thinking about her grandson now being a third-rank official, she swallowed her words and only said, "Tomorrow, with grandmother here, don’t be afraid of Shen Ruoxi."

Xiao Chengyi’s face was still unpleasant, silent, after a long while he said, "Grandmother, please go rest! Grandson wants to be alone."

Old Mrs. Xiao nodded helplessly, looking at the empty racks in the room, heart-wrenched, quickly turned and left, out of sight, out of mind.

Xia Lian returned, and Shen Ruoxi’s gaze immediately fixed on the horrifying marks on Xia Lian’s neck. Shen Ruoxi’s eyes instantly turned blood-red, angrily saying, "Did Xiao Chengyi that scum lay a hand on you?"

Xia Lian gave a low laugh, nonchalantly saying, "This servant provoked him a little, and he strangled my neck, it’s okay, he doesn’t dare kill me."

Shen Ruoxi frowned slightly. Chuntao was always impatient, but Xia Lian was always sensible, would not act impulsively.

That’s why she trusted her to go over, not expecting even Xia Lian lost her measure, ended up being hurt by Xiao Chengyi.

"Tomorrow, I’ll naturally stand up for Xueyan. Why provoke him, in case..."

Shen Ruoxi couldn’t finish her sentence. She had just been scared half to death by Xueyan’s ordeal, if anything happened to Xia Lian, she really didn’t dare think further.

Xia Lian hastily explained, "This servant thought of making him half dead with anger, didn’t intend to provoke him, but thinking of how he treated sister Xueyan, I couldn’t help but feel that rage.

Princess Consort, please rest assured! In the future, this servant will not act so rashly again."

Hearing Xia Lian’s guarantee, Shen Ruoxi finally exhaled a breath of relief.

Thinking to herself, very well, both new and old grievances will be settled, she would never easily let Xiao Chengyi, that scumbag, off the hook.

And Jun Moling naturally became aware of Xiao Chengyi’s humiliation of Xueyan, Mi Yi was his personal guard, Xiao Chengyi’s actions were actually directed at him, striking Jun Moling’s face.

For some time, he hadn’t dealt with him, yet he dared to provoke, truly tiring of life.

"My dear, since you are now pregnant, don’t go to the Xiao Mansion tomorrow, don’t hurt your body and cause a miscarriage.

I’ll go there myself. This Xiao Chengyi, from the lesson I gave him when we married, he didn’t learn. Perhaps because I was too soft then, now he dares to provoke us again, very well, since he has a death wish, I’ll fulfill it."

Jun Moling said with a cold and stern expression, his gaze carrying a bone-chilling coldness.
