Song Yuan said with an expressionless face, “You don’t need to know this!”

“You’re not the only one who wants to kill me?” How resourceful was Wei Mengying’s mind.

At this moment, it was a matter of life and death. How could she not do her best? As soon as she heard it, she figured out the truth. She smiled sadly and said, “Right. In all these years, I have committed too many sins to consolidate my position. Two days ago, Yixiao was even angry with me. She asked me if I was afraid of retribution for doing so many heartless things. What I didn’t expect was that you would be the one to do it! It seems that the person in the dark really hates me!”

“No wonder even Yixiao can’t stand you.” Song Yuan stared at her and snorted, “Even at this point, you still don’t forget to imply my place in your heart. But if you really had me in your heart, how could you…”

He began to sound a little excited, but then suddenly felt disinterested. He just shook his head and said, “There’s nothing to say now!”

Saying that, he slightly moved his arm. Obviously, he didn’t want to stall it anymore. Wei Mengying saw it clearly from the corner of her eye. She subconsciously took a deep breath and suddenly said, “When Yixiao was in Prince of Hengshan’s mansion, although she was marginalized by Commandery Princess and other ladies, and Dowager Consort didn’t like her much as well, Prince still treated her well. Do you know the reason?”

Song Yuan had originally planned to ignore her rhetoric, but he didn’t expect that she would mention their daughter. Since he had decided to end his feud with Wei Mengying, Song Yuan had thought back on the past and felt that he had wronged his eldest daughter over the years.

He didn’t even really reconciled with Song Yixiao until this moment. At this time, his guilt towards his daughter was in full swing. Hearing this, he subconsciously slowed down at the words, “What?”

“Because Yixiao is not your daughter at all!” Wei Mengying suddenly raised her head and gave him a smug and sarcastic smile, “I had an affair with Prince before I married you. But Princess Consort Cui was alive at that time, and I was unwilling to be a concubine, so I chose you, a fool, to be my husband. You wonder why I only gave birth to Yixiao when I was in the Song Family, but continuously bore children after I married Prince. It was not because I couldn’t bear a child, but because I didn’t want to have your child at all!”

“But I was afraid that if I had too many children with Prince, it would reveal a flaw!”

“So after Princess Consort Cui had finally died, when several years had passed and the gossip had died down, I left you immediately.”

“Actually, Madam Liu selling Yixiao was also my doing. My aim was naturally to take away Yixiao from the Song Family!”

“After all, Yixiao is not even the blood of the Song Family. How could she be left in the Song Family?”

“Especially by doing so, I can make my remarriage reasonable and leave your Song Family in the dust!”

“I heard that you recently just gave Jian Qingyue a valuable present?”

“Then, Prince and I should really thank you. You have raised someone else’s daughter for seven years, and now you even start to adore the granddaughter. Unfortunately, what doesn’t belong to you won’t be yours anyway!”

“You!” Song Yuan never expected to hear such a secret after he just slowed down at his words!

Such a heart-breaking humiliation!

Who could bear it?

Instantly, he glared at her with extreme anger as if his eyes were about to be ripped apart. He pulled out the short knife in his sleeve without hesitation, and slashed at the woman crouching before him. But a sharp hairpin stabbed him in the belly first!

Wei Mengying took the chance when he was in his rage and relaxed his defense. After she attacked him successfully, she didn’t get obsessed with the battle. She rolled several meters away. When she heard the sound of the knife slashing in the grass, she even got sixteen meters away, tumbling, and then she quickly stood up. Only then did she was free to look back.

She only saw Song Yuan fall down on the ground as expected!

He had fallen down not because of the sting of the hairpin, but because Wei Mengying had quietly tied a dozen snarls on his boots with long grass while she was crying at his feet!

Then she provoked Song Yuan with Song Yixiao’s origin and lured him to come for her. His step would naturally throw him off balance!

But this simple trap worked even better than Wei Mengying had imagined!

In his rage, Song Yuan took a huge step and fell hard. Unfortunately, he still had the hairpin Wei Mengying had stabbed into his abdomen!

As a result of this fall, the hairpin, which had only penetrated half an inch, went all the way in except for the end of the hairpin!

After observing from afar for a while and confirming that Song Yuan, who was already vomiting blood, was definitely not faking but had indeed been seriously injured, Wei Mengying was still uneasy and refused to come closer. She only sneered and said, “Guzhen, don’t be so anxious. What I told you about Yixiao’s origins earlier was of course a lie!”

Hearing this, Song Yuan wanted to say something, but then spat out a large mouthful of blood!

“When I first met you under the willow by the river, I did see the direction you were going. I asked the subordinates to leave on purpose in order to get to know you!” Wei Mengying said leisurely as if she didn’t see it, “But at first I really didn’t expect you to marry me. You are the descendant of one of the six influential families, the legitimate descendant of Jiangnan Hall and the No. 1 scholar! How could I overshoot on you? The original intention was only to use you to hook up with your father and wish him to patronize my unworthy elder brother…”

Speaking of this, she saw that Song Yuan seemed to inhale less and exhale more, so she hurriedly stopped the topic and became straightforward, “Anyway, Yixiao is exactly your daughter. I didn’t even meet Prince before she was born. I said those just now only to infuriate you, so that I can find the chance to attack you. Now you know the truth. You should calm down. Don’t get mad!”

She still didn’t forget to say those sarcastic words at this moment. In the pain and coldness before death, Song Yuan felt that his life was indescribably ironic. What an honorable beginning! But he ended up with dying in a wild valley at last. Maybe Yuan Xuepei was right. He should have not come here!

Not only because he didn’t expect to die at Wei Mengying’s hands instead of killing her as he had determined, but also because he realized that the person, whom he had been thinking about for most of his life and whom he would rather destroy when he couldn’t get, was actually uglier, more hypocritical and more vicious than he had imagined!

In order to fight for a chance of survival, she could even slander the origins of her own daughter. If he hadn’t let her achieve the attack and began to suspect Song Yixiao’s bloodline, the result of the relationship between the father and the daughter would be obvious!

There was no way Song Yuan could accept such a truth!

But when he struggled to lift his head and looked at Wei Mengying, he saw a scene that caused him even more heartache and guilty. In the long grass behind Wei Mengying, Madam Lu, whose face was covered with tears and who had been completely stunned by the sudden change, was shivering as she stood up. It seemed that she was trying to run over to help him!

“Wei Mengying is not worthy of my devotion. But how can I be worthy of you, Lyulian?” Song Yuan thought bitterly as he swallowed everything he wanted to say to Wei Mengying. He gazed at Madam Lu, shook his head with efforts and said in a low voice, “Prime Minister Gu… Yiyao…”

“You expect Prime Minister Gu to avenge you?” As Song Yuan’s face was stained with blood and his hair was ruffled by the grass, Wei Mengying didn’t notice that he was looking behind her and sneered, “And your son, Song Yiyao? Forget that little boy. The power of the descendants of your Song Family is so weak. It will be great if he doesn’t die young. After all, I seem not to mention with you that because of Yixiao, I keep a good relationship with your current wife, Madam Lu!”

She smiled and said, “A few months ago, I reminded her that your third daughter, Song Yijiao, would be treated badly if she was raised by the old b**tard Pang! Speaking of this, I don’t know what you’re thinking. This Madam Lu is really stupid. Yixiao already tried to interrupt the conversation and warned her, but she didn’t even notice. However, she listened to all my nonsense. I don’t know what she did to you and old b**tard Pang when she returned. It’s a pity that you don’t have strength to tell me now. Alas!”

Speaking of this, she ruffled her hair amorously, and said, “So don’t worry about your precious son! I know you are the only son in your generation and so were your father and grandfather. And your son is also the only male in his generation. After you die, how could you not be worried about him in hell? So, rest assured. I will use my relationship with Madam Lu to send him to hell to be together with you as soon as possible!

“Consider this a small reward for what happened today!” Wei Mengying’s face turned green and she stopped pretending and said, grinning her teeth, “I have never experienced such danger in my life. How nice of you, Song Yuan! It says that a day together as a married couple means devotion for the rest of life. There are so many people in the world who want me to die. But who would have thought that the one who finally showed up to kill me would be you! How dare you say that you are good to me and that you love me!”

Wei Mengying was really mad at this moment!

It was not only because of her fear and anger after she had survived, but also because two days ago, when she met her ex-husband outside her daughter and son-in-law’s summer residence, she just believed her daughter’s words and thought that her ex-husband still remembered his love for her. Therefore, when they talked that day, she had taken a high and mighty stance.

How many days had it been?

Song Yuan actually wanted to kill her!

He said that he couldn’t let go of her so that he would leave the imperial capital. He was actually planning to kill her and then leave to hide!

In this way, her initial posturing and condescension were completely a joke!

Thinking of this, Wei Mengying felt ashamed and indignant!

The more humiliated she was, the more she wanted Song Yuan to die with a grievance!

So she continued to say, “As for Prime Minister Gu, he really treated you well. It’s a pity that he is also old! But my daughter and son-in-law are young! Do you think that he would leave his descendants in trouble by offending Yixiao and her husband for you, even though he treats you like his own niece? Although you are Yixiao’s biological father, think about how you treat Yixiao in all these years. Do you think you can woo my daughter whom I raised toughly with your two-day pretension? You must be dreaming!”

“Moreover, with my status as Princess Consort, he can’t just embarrass me!”

She sneered and broke some grass by her side, crumpled it into a ball and threw it at Song Yuan’s face. She said contemptuously, “So, you’d better settle down and die! Your wife and children will soon go to accompany you! As for Prime Minister Gu, who is a benefactor to you, according to his age, he will also be together with you in a short time. All in all, you definitely won’t be lonely for long after you go to hell!”

“Oh, right!” Wei Mengying seemed to think of something. She raised her sleeve to cover her mouth and smiled sweetly, “I almost forgot. That old b**tard is still alive. She lost her husband in middle age and then lost her son in old age. I wonder how that old b**tard will look and feel when she receives the news of your death. It’s a pity and I won’t be able to see it!”

“But I still hope she can pull through. After all, she still needs to witnesses her grandson’s death, doesn’t she?”

Wei Mengying, who was laughing freely, didn’t notice that in the grass not far behind her, Madam Lu’s lips were covered in blood, and she was looking at Song Yuan with tears streaming down her face. But in the end, she retreated deep into the grass little by little. Wei Mengying thought that Song Yuan mentioned Prime Minister Gu and Yiyao in order to tell her that these two people would avenge him. But Madam Lu understood that her husband was actually saying this to her.

He hoped that she would continue to hide and not come outside for the sake of their children, especially Song Yiyao, their only son, who was still young!

After all, it was Song Yuan who was in the wrong this time, even if it was Song Yuan who was dying. Wei Mengying would definitely not be willing to stop. If she knew that Madam Lu was present, she would certainly attack Madam Lu immediately!

So Madam Lu must continue to hide. Wei Mengying thought that she didn’t know anything about it, then she would use their relationship, which had been fairly nice, to secretly kill Song Yiyao and the others, as she had just said.

If she could get this buffer time, Madam Lu could turn to Gu Shao for help to save herself and her children with the power of Gu Shao!

But who could understand the torture of cowering behind the grass, listening to her husband die little by little, while Wei Mengying was still sparing no efforts to make him die more painfully?

Madam Lu bit off a piece of flesh from her arm, but she couldn’t sense the pain at all.
