Tu Xiuyu looked around and saw that Tu Xiang, Xu Jiayi, and Tu Xiupei had all arrived. Everyone who should be present was here!
“I want you to kill Tu Xiupei because she caused the death of our child.”
Si Rong’s eyes were red from desperation. “You crazy woman! That’s a bastard child that you had with somebody else. It has nothing to do with me. Besides, Pei’er is your sister! Why do you harbor such evil thoughts in your heart? First, you tried to harm Tianlan, and now you want to kill Pei’er.”
“HAHA!” Tu Xiuyu laughed loudly like someone who had lost it. She’d known he would say this, but she had still hoped a little that he wouldn’t. She would have even accepted if he’d lied to her.
“Yu’er, come down. Don’t endanger yourself like this, and we can talk everything out.” Xu Jiayi was her mother, after all, and she couldn’t bear to see her daughter like this.
Tu Xiang looked at Tu Xiupei then up at Tu Xiuyu. His face was dark, and he didn’t have anything to say. To him, there was no need to keep a good-for-nothing daughter like Tu Xiuyu in the first place. It would better if she died rather than being tortured at the brothel.
Tu Xiupei didn’t even look up and just walked over to Si Rong. “Third Prince, say something nice and coax her into coming down.”
“No way. She wants me to kill you, but I’d rather she died than you.” Si Rong continued to oversee Tu Xiuyu, thinking about when would be the best moment to send someone to finish her off.
Tu Xiupei bit her lip slightly. She had tears in her eyes. “I feel bad for my sister, but at the same time, I can’t believe that she’s falsely accused you like this. If I had a choice, I’d rather be the one who’s hurting. But now…”
“This has nothing to do with you. She’s the despicable one,” Si Rong consoled Tu Xiupei while still keeping a close eye on Tu Xiuyu. She was laughing loudly as if she had completely lost her mind.
“Between my sister and you, I choose you.” Tu Xiupei bit her lips and finally came to a decision. “Try to coax her into coming down. If that doesn’t work, kill her.”
Hearing this, Si Rong turned to look at Tu Xiupei. He was a bit surprised by her sudden change in attitude. At the same time, he had also recently heard a lot of awful rumors about her.
Tu Xiupei’s eyes were red and teary, and she looked as if she were willing to sacrifice everything for him. “If you let her continue talking, it won’t do you any good. For you, I’m willing to take on for all eternity the guilt and shame of causing my sister’s death.”
As expected, this trick was really effective on Si Rong. He consoled her, “I’m coming up now, so you don’t have to feel guilty.”
He was sure that Pei’er liked him. Otherwise, there was no reason for her to say something like that. She had always been gentle and kind. She had become jealous of Tu Xiuyu and Feng Tianlan and only became cunning to attack them.
There was scheming and plotting even in the commoner harem, so, naturally, there would be even more among aristocratic women who were fighting to get into his harem. This was only normal. He just had to keep a close eye on the situation. Anything was possible.
“What an idiot,” said Tu Xiupei mockingly as she watched Si Rong hurry off.
Feng Tianlan noticed the interaction between them and asked Zhang Tiancheng, “What about the safety measures?”
“Don’t worry, Tu Xiuyu won’t die before everything blows up. There was an archer who tried to shoot her, but he was taken down. Besides, since this watchtower belongs to the city, someone’s helping us. She’s not going to die so easily,” Zhang Tiancheng replied. This someone was the powerful Wargod, Si Mobai.
After saying this, Zhang Tiancheng started thinking about how much Si Mobai doted on Feng Tianlan. As a man, this amount of affection made him jealous.
Zhang Tiancheng couldn’t resist gossiping with Luo Yunzhu. “Second Boss, guess who Boss is going out with?”
