After that, Feng Tianlan went home and locked herself in. Feng Qingling guarded the Heavenly Phoenix Court and made sure nothing disturbed her.
Nobody in South Peace City would still dare to sell anything to Tu Xiang and his family, so Si Rong helped them buy everything they needed and personally delivered it to them. If he hadn’t done this, the four of them wouldn’t have been able to stay in the city anymore.
Tu Xiuyu’s offer to join hands with Feng Tianlan had been rejected, so around the time Si Rong usually arrived, she went to wait for him. She dashed out when she saw him coming, shouting, “Big Brother Rong!”Si Rong dodged Tu Xiuyu and looked at her with great contempt. “If you continue to harass me like this, I will not be polite to you anymore.”
She was just a useless, deflowered body. Since she was of no benefit to him, Si Rong didn’t need to bother with her.
“Big Brother Rong, I have something to tell you.” Tu Xiuyu ran up and grabbed Si Rong’s sleeve. Then, she quickly said, “Don’t believe Tu Xiupei. She’s no virgin, and she even had a fling with some man out there. Then, after having sex, she killed him.”
“I will not allow you to slander Pei’er like this.” Si Rong grabbed Tu Xiuyu’s wrist and pulled it fiercely off his sleeve. There was none of the gentleness he’d once showed her.
Tu Xiupei didn’t give up and ran after him. “Everything I said is true. I saw it with my own eyes. Big Brother Rong, I’m not slandering her. Don’t be tricked by her.”
She would never lie to him!
Si Rong was very annoyed, so he turned around and put his hands around her neck as murder flashed in his eyes. “Tu Xiuyu, you’ve already made me lose my chance with Lan’er. If you make me lose my chance with Pei’er, you’re going to die terribly.”After that, he threw Tu Xiuyu aside and used a handkerchief to wipe his hands like he’d touched something filthy.
“Big Brother Rong…” Tu Xiuyu coughed and sobbed as she watched Si Rong heartlessly walk away. Her eyes were filled with tears, and his words had made her heart bleed. No matter what she had done in the past, she had never lied to him or done anything to cause him harm.
Was he treating her so heartlessly just because she didn’t have Spiritual force anymore? They had slept together, and she’d even been pregnant with his child. How could he lump her together with his enemies?
Tu Xiuyu remained sprawled on the floor crying loudly. She cried until her voice was hoarse, and her lungs nearly burst from much hate and pain!
An ordinary-looking person walked by behind Tu Xiuyu. He lifted his hand then quickly ran off.
Tu Xiuyu felt something hit her head and fall to the ground. She picked it up and was about to throw it away when she realized that it was a crumpled ball of paper. Out of curiosity, she smoothed it out and read the words with her red, swollen eyes.
“Rumors are knives that can kill.”
Tu Xiuyu reread the words. She sat up and looked up at the few people walking by, but nobody was looking at her. She wiped away her tears and asked, “Who is it?”
After several moments, nobody responded to her. She was even more confused. Who was helping her?
Zhang Tiancheng hid in a dark corner and watched Tu Xiuyu walk into Feng Manor, her face crestfallen. He used a hand to rub his nose. “Don’t be so stupid. I hope you know what to do next.”
Tu Xiuyu walked back into the courtyard and saw Si Rong laughing and smiling with Tu Xiupei. Her eyes were immediately red with hatred, and she clenched her teeth. “You sl*t!”
“Yu’er.” Tu Xiupei looked pitifully at her.
Tu Xiang glanced at Tu Xiuyu, who looked like a madwoman. He shouted at her, “Don’t be rude to your older sister!”
Nothing was going well for him lately, and he had no idea where it had all gone wrong. Now, he was treated like a street rat, which vexed him tremendously.
“Mother, Tu Xiupei…”
Xu Jiayi impatiently cut her off, “If you don’t have anything to do, just stay in your room. Stop behaving like some madwoman. If you continue like this, I’ll marry you off.”
“All of you will regret this!” Tu Xiuyu roared as she realized everyone was against her. “I will not let any of you off the hook!”
