Medical Princess-Chapter 1241 - The Truth About Her Drowning

Chapter 1241 The Truth About Her Drowning

“Mother, do you know how my sister died?” Wen Xichi said with a smile, but his smile made Gu Xishu tremble. Her face was pale and she trembled all over. What he was talking about was a secret that she could never tell others, and it was also the reason why she had been helping Shao Yanru before.

No matter what Shao Yanru asked her to do, she would agree because of this unspeakable secret.

Madam Wen obviously felt the chill in the atmosphere. She looked at Wen Xichi and then at Gu Xishu, who was pale and trembling, and her face changed greatly. “What… what happened?”

The panic and fear in the atmosphere seemed contagious and spread to Madam Wen along with Gu Xishu.

Wen Xichi smiled and said with distress, “Mother, she pushed my sister into the river and drown her. She did it to get your love. The woman, whom you have been taking care of for so many years, is simply a venomous snake. You shouldn’t have listened to her.” In fact, Madam Wen was not the only one who had been deceived by Gu Xishu. He was the same.

He had always regarded Gu Xishu as his younger sister and loved her as his own family. Even if she had done something wrong, he still felt that her nature should not have been like this. That was why he had spared her again and again. There was a kind of pain in his heart as intense as an explosion. “In that dream, Mother and Gu Xishu forced her like this. If I had guessed that Gu Xishu and Second Brother had harmed me and had directly punished them, the thing that happened later would not have happened.

“I let her down!

“Not only did I feel guilty in that dream, but I also feel it in reality.

“Actually, I know that it wasn’t just a dream…

“But that’s even more painful. I would rather that it was just a dream, a nightmare for me. When I wake up from the nightmare, she’s still the gentle and lovely woman she is now. She’s no longer the one in the dream who was so miserable that she could not control herself and had no one to help her.”

There was a touch of blood in his clear eyes.

Wen Xichi said gloomily, “When I went to the Ministry of Justice to interrogate E’niang today, she confessed everything. She and Gu Xishu plotted against you together… with the purpose of making you take her to others. From now on, the mistress of Marquis Xing’s Mansion will have your support. As for why she did this, of course, it was because she had been caught red-handed. She killed my sister, and Shao Yanru was watching from the side at that time.”

Madam Wen staggered and held the table with her hand to prevent herself from falling. “Is… is this true?”

“If you don’t believe me, Mother, you can keep her here and see who she intends to hurt next!” Wen Xichi smiled coldly and lowered his eyes to hide the trace of blood.

He hated the fact that he was powerless in his dream. He hated that he could only watch helplessly.

“It’s… impossible… impossible…” There was so much information that Madam Wen couldn’t believe it. She looked at Gu Xishu blankly.

She didn’t believe that the woman she loved wholeheartedly would be the murderer of her daughter. The death of her youngest daughter was an eternal pain in her heart, and she didn’t believe what Wen Xichi just said.

“Third Cousin… Third Cousin… what are you talking about? I… I don’t know… I don’t understand. Don’t… don’t talk nonsense!” Gu Xishu sat on the ground in a panic and kept retreating. At this time, she didn’t care that her dress was dirty and messy, and her lips were pale. She looked into Wen Xichi’s eyes and saw the killing intent in his eyes.

“Third Cousin wants to kill me? Third Cousin wants to kill me?”

This realization made her so flustered that she just wanted to escape. Thinking of this, she immediately did the same thing. When she reached the threshold, she suddenly pulled it and stood up to run. She only had one thought now. She wanted to escape. She wanted to leave here.

Suddenly, she bumped into someone at the door. Seeing that it was her second cousin, Wen Shian, Gu Xishu immediately pulled him and cried, “Second Cousin, Second Cousin, save me. Third Cousin framed me… He… he…”

Gu Xishu cried so sad that she couldn’t even complete her sentence.

Wen Shian had always liked Gu Xishu and was fascinated by her. Seeing the girl he loved crying like this, he couldn’t help breathing heavily. He didn’t know what had happened today, but he heard that his mother had slapped Gu Xishu. And just now, Gu Xishu was led to his mother, that was why he hurried over to see what was going on right after he returned to the mansion.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Gu Xishu running out in a mess. Seeing her crying like this, he was angry for a while. He thought of what Gu Xishu had said in the past. “She said that my younger brother has always had feelings for her. Even though Mother has arranged for her to marry me, my third brother still doesn’t give up and keeps holding on to her. Sometimes, he even pulls her to a place where there’s no one around. She said that she was so sad that she wished to die, but she was reluctant to do so when she thought of me.

“What we had, and combined with the many things that Gu Xishu said in the past… She said that the reason why Mother did not clearly allow me to marry her was that my third brother stopped her. He stole my wife from me! I hate him!”

Wen Shian couldn’t bear it anymore. He patted Gu Xishu on the hand, strode into the room, and slapped Wen Xichi, who was standing at the door. “You’re such a bastard! She is your sister-in-law!”

He was furious. Wen Xichi grabbed his hand. Expressionless, Wen Xichi looked up with his bloodshot eyes and slapped Wen Shian hard in the face. Caught off guard, Wen Shian took a step back. Wen Xichi stepped forward and kicked him hard on the leg. He retreated and bumped into Gu Xishu, and the two fell heavily together.

Guards came from both sides to suppress Wen Shian.

“Wen Shian, how could you treat a venomous snake who killed our sister as a treasure and even hurt me? I’m your brother!” Wen Xichi walked out and kicked Wen Shian in the heart with fierce eyes.

“In the dream, I was framed by Wen Shian and Gu Xishu. They did everything. They caused my tragedy, as well as her tragedy. If there were no such two people, could everything become fine and I could start over? Then I shall kill them.”

At this moment, the killing intent was clearly shown in his mind. Even Wen Xichi was tempted. He raised his foot and was about to kick Wen Shian in the heart again. This time, he exerted all his strength to kill him. Since Wen Shian had no family affection and believed a woman’s one-sided words, why should Wen Xichi care about him?

“Xichi!” A reproach came from the side. Prime Minister Wen hurried over and saw the scene in front of him. He was very anxious.

His third son was elegant, but at this moment, his eyes were full of fierceness, as if he had changed into another person. His bloodshot eyes were obviously murderous. Prime Minister Wen’s second son, who was sitting on the ground, was shivering. He was no longer the same as usual.

Wen Xichi slowly withdrew his foot, which fell to the ground, landed on Wen Shian’s hand that pressed on the ground, and stepped hard on it.

“Ah!” Wen Shian screamed and pushed his foot hard in pain.

“Xichi, what are you doing?!” Prime Minister Wen was furious and shouted harshly.

Wen Xichi slowly loosened his foot, took a step back, and smiled. The anger in his eyes did not disappear at the moment. He said coldly, “Father, ask your good son. He just said that I hooked up with Gu Xishu, the venomous snake, and said that I took a fancy to her! It seems that he still wants to get rid of me in secret. Since he is ruthless, why should I treat him as my second brother?”

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Prime Minister Wen was furious. He hated to see his two sons fighting. Although he rebuked Wen Xichi, he glared at his second son. Compared with his second son, his youngest son was his most capable son and also his hope for the future.

Wen Xichi said briefly with a cold smile, “Father, I found out that Gu Xishu killed our younger sister. Shao Yanru watched Gu Xishu kill our sister and then threatened her with it, ordering her to help Marquis Xing’s Mansion. The mistress of Marquis Xing’s Mansion could show up this time due to this reason. She and that mistress plotted against Mother together, which almost got her killed.”

“Are… are you telling the truth?” Prime Minister Wen looked in shock at Gu Xishu, who was behind Wen Shian. He didn’t care about the domestic affairs of the mansion in the past, but he treated Gu Xishu well. He only had three sons, and this lovely girl had been raised by his side. She reminded him of his own daughter. He couldn’t help but become softhearted.

“Father, do you also feel softhearted? Do you think highly of her because of my sister?” Wen Xichi said coldly, “It’s because of this that she hurt and killed my innocent sister while she enjoyed everything that originally belonged to my sister with peace of mind.”

Wen Shian panicked. Regardless of the pain in his hand, he tried to protect Gu Xishu and said loudly, “No… it’s impossible. Father, what Third Brother said is false. He hates me because of his love for our cousin. He wants her love, but she ignores him. That’s why he’s talking nonsense. Father… Father, you can’t listen to Third Brother’s nonsense!”

Gu Xishu hid behind Wen Shian in a panic and pulled his clothes as if she were pulling the last life-saving straw. She shook her head hard and said, “I didn’t… I didn’t do it. It really wasn’t me. I… I don’t know anything… Third Cousin, I really don’t know anything…”

She cried so hard that she looked miserable. She couldn’t control herself and felt so aggrieved.

“All the people in the mansion know that she is restless. While seducing you, she is also thinking about others. Wen Shian, how stupid you are to believe the words of this vicious woman. However, you are not a good person either, and you have done a lot of things in private. I guess you’ve prepared the things you need to harm me, haven’t you?” Wen Xichi said coldly and waved his hand.

Immediately, a guard came over and brought some things to Prime Minister Wen, as well as a letter.

Prime Minister Wen hesitated to read it. When he finished reading it, his face changed dramatically with anger. Wen Shian wrote in the letter that he asked for a highly toxic object from Xu State. Coincidentally, this letter was written to one of the envoys from the Xu State. Wen Shian said that after his third brother took it, it would be better for him to get ill and slowly die of illness. He didn’t need the toxic where one is poisoned to death at once.

The handwriting of Wen Shian was very clear. Even though the letter didn’t have his seal on it, it could still be seen clearly that he wrote the letter, not to mention that there were some other pieces of evidence thrown in front of Prime Minister Wen.

Wen Shian’s face changed greatly. Now, he was really panicked. “Father… Father… it’s not like this… Father…”

Prime Minister Wen threw away the letter in his hand and slapped Wen Shian hard in the face out of anger. Blood immediately burst out from the corner of Wen Shi’an’s mouth. “You heartless bastard. Men, throw this bastard into the woodshed!”
