Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Chapter 690 See How Long She Can Live

"you dare?!"

Qi rushed forward to snatch it like a madman, but Shen Wantang stretched out a foot calmly.

With a "thump", Qi was caught off guard and fell heavily to the ground.

Dujuan and Qinxin took the opportunity to take away everything on the table, leaving nothing for Qi and Shen Mingxuan.

Shen Mingxuan wanted to go up and snatch them, but Nanny Yan was too strong and she couldn't get close to Dujuan and Qinxin at all. When she wanted to use brute force, Nanny Yan pushed her away without any hesitation.

Qi fell to the ground, almost dying, and was unable to get up for a long time.

She pointed at Shen Wantang's nose and cursed, "You shameless, greedy bastard! How dare you steal my things and even trip me! I'm your mother! How dare you disrespect me? I can report you to the authorities for being unfilial!"

Shen Wantang sneered and stepped on Qi's back: "Not only do I dare to trip you, I also dare to step on you!"

"A lewd woman who committed adultery with a foreign man, are you worthy of teaching me? Are you worthy of my filial respect? My father has already divorced you, and you are still here speaking nonsense, claiming to be my mother?"

"I think you've got some water in your head and are starting to talk nonsense."

"Qin Xin, bring me some bluestone bricks!"

Qin Xin immediately handed over the bluestone bricks that had been prepared long ago.

Qi's eyes widened in horror. She wanted to get up, but Shen Wantang stepped on her so hard that she couldn't get up at all.

"What are you doing, little bitch?! What are you doing with the bluestone bricks!!"

A cold smile appeared on Shen Wantang's lips: "Of course I'll smash your skull open to see how much water is inside!"

"You dare?! I—"

"Snapped!"

Shen Wantang raised the bluestone brick and smashed it down with a decisive move.

A shrill scream rang out: "Ah!!!"

"Mother!"

Shen Mingxuan screamed in horror as she watched blood flowing from her mother's head.

She looked at Shen Wantang in disbelief: "Shen Wantang, you are crazy! How dare you hit my mother with such a big brick! This is murder, it's a crime! I will go to the government to sue you!"

Shen Wantang held up the bluestone brick and walked towards Shen Mingxuan step by step. "Oh? You want to sue me? When your mother hit me with the bluestone brick, why didn't you go to the government to sue her? Was it because you didn't have a mouth then? Or is it because your mouth is itchy now and you need me to scratch it with this bluestone brick?"

Shen Mingxuan kept backing away until she reached the wall and had no way to retreat anymore.

Her face turned pale. "Shen Wantang, you, you, you, step back! If you come any closer to me, I won't be polite to you!"

As she spoke, she pulled out the golden hairpin on her head and gestured randomly towards Shen Wantang.

Shen Wantang looked at her trembling hands and the heavy golden hairpin and said loudly, "Madam Yan, did you see that? My elder sister is trying to stab me to death with this hairpin. I'm so scared!"

Nanny Yan stepped forward, snatched away Shen Mingxuan's gold hairpin, and gave her a big slap in the face!

Shen Mingxuan didn't even have the strength to resist. She felt a flash before her eyes, and the golden hairpin disappeared, and her face was burning with pain!

It was at this time that she discovered that the bitter-faced nanny who had always been by Shen Wantang's side actually knew martial arts!

Shen Wantang pressed the bluestone brick on top of Shen Mingxuan's head, pushing her down inch by inch. "What did you say just now, sister? What are you going to the government office for? My memory is not very good, I forgot. Sister, please repeat what you just said."

Shen Mingxuan's ears were buzzing from the beating she received from Nanny Yan, and her head was being pressed down tightly with a bluestone brick by Shen Wantang. How could she dare to speak carelessly at this moment?

She never knew that Shen Wantang, who used to be timid, had become so cruel now!

She had smashed her mother's head until it was bleeding. Now, she had no doubt that if she angered Shen Wantang again, Shen Wantang would split her head open as well!

Seeing that Shen Mingxuan was silent, Shen Wantang nodded in satisfaction. She picked up the bluestone brick and patted Shen Mingxuan on the head: "Sister, it's best if you know what's best for me. Otherwise, you'll bleed right there and it will easily stain my clothes."

Shen Mingxuan's head hurt from the two hits, but she gritted her teeth and said nothing, because at least Shen Wantang held back and didn't really open her head.

Seeing that she had calmed down, Shen Wantang threw the bluestone brick to the ground.

She walked back to Qi and looked down at her, "Don't play dead, stand up. I was holding back on my strength and didn't knock you unconscious. Otherwise, you wouldn't feel the pain of a bloody head."

As she spoke, she kicked Qi.

Qi opened her eyes in anger, covered her aching head, and climbed up: "Shen Wantang, what on earth do you want to do? You've beaten me, scolded me, and you still won't leave? Are you going to kill me? Let me tell you, even if you marry Gu Qianhan and have the protection of the Duke's Mansion, you will still have to pay with your life if you kill someone! Don't think you can do whatever you want!"

"Kill you? That's wishful thinking."

Shen Wantang looked at her coldly: "I just opened a wound on your head, how could I let you die so easily?"

"You opened a wound on my head, and it hurt for several days. Shouldn't you also experience the same pain? After you've tasted it, it won't be too late for me to kill you."

"Oh, by the way, a few days ago, I was caught in the rain, and the wound festered, causing me to have a high fever and almost lose my life."

"What a pity, there's no rain today. Dujuan, come and give her some water!"

Du Juan immediately stepped forward, took a pot of water, and poured it directly on Qi's head.

The screams rang out again: "Help! Someone's killing someone! Shen Wantang has killed someone! Someone, come and save me!"

"Don't scream. No one will come to save you. Didn't I tell you that I have dismissed all the servants in the mansion? Now only you and your daughter are left in the mansion. Why don't you ask your daughter for help and see if she can save you?"

Qi covered her head and looked at Shen Mingxuan with hope in her eyes: "Xuan'er..."

But then she saw Shen Mingxuan lowered her head and pretended not to see anything.

The hope in Qi's eyes turned into disappointment, and finally into despair.

Shen Wantang suddenly laughed: "Qi Xiangru, it seems that your daughter is not a fool. She knows that if she says nothing and does nothing, I will not touch her."

"But if she comes to rescue you, then you will be safe, but she will suffer. She is very good at weighing the pros and cons."

"Guess who she learned this from? Yes, that's right, it's all thanks to you as a mother, you taught her well!"

Qi's vision went dark. She was raging with rage, gritting her teeth, but she could do nothing to Shen Wantang: "You, you did it on purpose! You deliberately drove a wedge between us mother and daughter! Just wait, I won't let you off easily!"

Shen Wantang sneered, "You should worry about yourself first! Nanny Yan, push her into that secret cave for me. Let's see how long she can survive in there!"
